In California, not the rest of America

So they stole money from a black person

What a surprise. Nothing changes in this world, white people are still nazis and incredibly racist towards black people

Affirmative Action helped get rid of all white classrooms and workplaces, it worked. Taking it away means we’re just going to go back to an all white America. I’m sorry to tell you this but people are not inherently good or bad, we have to make laws like AA otherwise things would never change. We had to force the South to desegregate at gun point

A deeply racist state like Texas is never going to have racial equality without being forced to, just like the South was never going to desegregate unless forced to

And in California where they got rid of AA in 1996, Black attendance in higher education immediately dropped and it hasn’t even recovered yet to what it was before 1996

There’s a professor in another university who literally used to tweet about black people being subhuman and asian people too and routinely would tell them to go back to their countries on twitter, but she was never fired because SHE had tenure at a pretty well known law school

I honestly don’t understand this country

I have no clue either as you misread what I wrote. MicroWave is correct, that was my meaning.

the BBC loves to push genocide denial, what a wonderful group of people over there in jolly old England

Yeah there’s really no need for so many dams anymore, they were built to power hydroelectric stations that are no longer needed so this is a good thing.

“Why not just let nature take its course? Well, nature didn’t take its course when dams got put in. We can’t pretend this gigantic change in the landscape has not happened and we can’t just ignore the fact that invasive species are a big problem in the west and in California,” said Dave Meurer, director of community affairs for Resource Environmental Solutions, the company leading the restoration project. “Our goal is to give nature a head start.”

Which is another really good point, sadly there’s a lot of invasive plant species that were unknowingly brought over by Europeans mostly for ornamental purposes which have had a devastating effects on native plant life

That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.

Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it’s no wonder African Nations are not at all happy

Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea

I just wish they’d kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.

for some principle the victim doesn’t want to stand for

So we should all just let racism flourish then and not stand against it? The victim here isn’t being threatened with violence, and they have friends too, so why then run away? Running away from problems never solves anything

Reddit and Twitter are both heavily liberal

reddit is not at all liberal, it couldn’t be more of a racist website if it tried

It’s celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.

This community doesn’t need that kind of garbage, there’s plenty of it on reddit

I don’t want this community to have celebrity news in it

At no point did I make any argument that the entire burden should rest on your shoulders and your shoulders alone, nor would I ever. This is a shared burden amongst all of us. Letting racism take control of our lives is an admission of defeat and I will not tolerate that in my country.

The burden is not on you, it’s on us

Of course, I believe in sharing the wealth

This helps no one and accomplishes nothing, just saying we should “deal with racism” is racism in itself.

Institutional racism will always exist as long as that’s peoples attitude towards it. Civil Rights never would’ve gotten anywhere if black people were just complacent ALL the time, if black people didn’t make noise they never would’ve been heard by white people and forced to think about these issues.

1. The emphasis on gender is simply a state of fact; most women are trafficked into this kind of work against their will, so she literally is a victim here and being executed for it. We all have emotions, unless you’re a zombie you will feel for something in this world. You can not enact the “emotions” excuse for any article that tells a deeply troubling or terrible story or describes a terrible event happening that shouldn’t happen.

2. No one is arguing here she’s the user, she’s the victim of trafficking. The quantity described comes from the backwards organization doing the executions to begin with, so it’s irrelevant what the quantity is, it could be 50000 millenia worth of heroin, she has no choice to do this work. Basic human rights is an agenda we can all get behind, and I would certainly hope we push more of it into countries like Singapore to get them to stop abusing fundamental human rights

You’re right about he fighting part, not about the “deal with it” part. I’m not sure how you equate one with the other. If we don’t fight back against racism, then that is “dealing with it”. Fighting back is what I just said to do.

It’s Associated Press, there’s an actual news article in the link that you can read that tells the story, plus the headline isn’t even clickbait, it’s literally telling you what happened. I’m confused as to why you would think saying what happened is clickbait? Could you elaborate?

Clickbait? It’s literally Associated Press

Theocracy everyone
