  1. The most melodic rasps ever
  2. My assertion is pretty well founded, but tabling that for a second, irrespectively, She was acting in a professional capacity as Vice President of a parent teacher association, not chatting on an unmoderated Internet debate forum. She can say whatever she wants, but she should be removed from her role after saying that.
  3. Nope, different.. my context was that hopefully this is the last generation that consider them selves superior and requisite saviors based of their lack of melanin, and that as that generation dies off, real racism dies with it. This woman was saying parents that disagree with her need to die.
  4. Didn’t the Bills have one of these with Hughes in the past two years?
  5. slavery is an extreme of both, the difference is in one case wealthy corporate elite are the owners and in the other case the wealthy political elite are the owners.
  6. Some pretty radical language about this thing that some people oppose their children being indoctrinated in that allegedly isn’t happening from someone in a position to know…
  7. They probably used them for a water balloon fight. It’s hot out there..
  8. This x10000. Washington is full of life long rich politicians and cronies
  9. Matter of factly that would make sense, but I guess since both parties are themselves or are in cahoots with the richest, the super wealthy will codify loopholes making any attempted fix impotent.
  10. It only generates like 40 billion dollars because it over $11 million joint estates or so and a lower rate. Lower the thresholds and add minor appropriate exemptions. Everyone has to earn their own way. I’m good.
  11. I tend to agree and suspect the average inheritance numbers are badly skewed by a small fraction of the super wealthy. But if inheritance is the source of inequity I’d be open to tax and redistribute that… the world could use less hunter Biden’s and Donnie trump jrs running around. Being born to rich parents certainly is an inequality.
  12. Good question.. also, brits apparently also brought 300,000 white slaves to America during colonial times. So same question there I suppose. I’m sure with inflation it’s trillions. I’ve openly stated I’d write a check of my own money if we can have a social contract to be done with this conversation. And it would be greater than any money I got from anyone except my own employers.
  13. I definitely never heard that last one in history class, in fact I’ve never heard it anywhere. Where was this?
  14. Was a different outcome expected?
  15. This caveat is not the narrative from the left and what is causing almost all of the uproar. And you yourself are also suggesting having educated parents is more deterministic of a good future than race in America. I think that’s what most moderates and independents and maybe even some of the republicans have been trying to say the whole time.
  16. Second generation Nigerian Americans are out achieving every other demographic. How is that possible if they are systemically oppressed because of their appearance?? Do police officers see a Nigerian bumper sticker and decide not to pull them over? Do employers see Nigerian names on resumes and hire then promote them because they didn’t realize they were supposed to be more oppressive? Why is this sub group earning so much money and so many degrees in the us? Did all the systemic oppressors fall asleep at the wheel? The deliberate effort to dismiss any analysis of this particular reality is very telling about how much the alt left cares about actually addressing inequitable outcomes. They need racism as an enemy against which to mobilize their sheeple for power. They don’t want anything fixed.
  17. So the wealthiest and most educated Nigerian elite are coming to a systemically racist country for more opportunity? Is that the argument?
  18. So they come here in spite of a system rigged against them? That makes no sense.
  19. I was hoping someone would point that out. You see no one is arguing slavery and Jim Crow were bad wrong or happened, or at least no one with integrity. The objection is to the notion those ideals underpin every facet of American society in 2021. Also many of those African families were just as directly impacted by slavery.
  20. https://www.ozy.com/around-the-world/the-most-successful-ethnic-group-in-the-u-s-may-surprise-you/86885/ I was looking for some system to blame, but it turns out valuing education seems to matter.
  21. Apparently there is another even more damning demographic data set. Black Nigerian Americans especially those who closely identify traditional Nigerian cultural educational and family values are one of the most successful demographics in America. Anyone with any interest whatsoever in fixing anything about the current inequity along racial lines in America would be studying that pretty hard.
  22. CRT has nothing to do with causes of civil war. Also ‘slavery’ is a poor oversimplification. The south wanted to keep slavery as a means of economic power (as twisted as that is) and after wrangling over legislative power to do so as new territories joined up, they said we’re out! The north wasn’t having that so Tim came the military. They were not fighting some righteous cause. By the way, I’m guessing an overwhelming majority thought the main cause of the civil war was rebelling against British tea or something.
  23. resources become the only thing with value. Remember labor is only a component of cost.
  24. And Pelosi, Waters, Cruz, Omar… They are all hypocritical, corrupt, power mongering, self-serving grifters. The entire ruling political class is a problem with maybe a handful of exceptions.
