Biden says U.S. must not tolerate hate.....

[Aldebaran]

Jim Crow never went away for some...he just got quieter.

And apparently decided to target the majority of Americans for discrimination, which an extremist segment of the Left seems to think is now acceptable--regardless of how MLK said we should judge people.

psssst. When that white guy was discriminated against, was it THAT guy that got a 10million dollar settlement or a different white guy?

Are you of the opinion that if a person is discriminated against, then has to go to court to sue the one who discriminated against him to get them to pay a settlement to make the case go away, then it was ok for the discrimination to take place?

Anecdotal sob stories are tough. Of course, systemic problems where minorities are the first to suffer are TOTALLY okay.

Do you feel that reparation payments for slavery are appropriate?
Do you feel the children recently found in slave conditions should be able to sue their employers?

Never invoke the name of MLK while openly arguing against the type of discriminatory policies that would serve to restore the dignity of historically oppressed peoples. You won’t be taken seriously.

What's referred to as "systemic" are nebulous definitions that the user of that term can't pin down.

What do either of these have to do with anything other than my "feelings"?

His name is perfectly acceptable to mention when he's the guy who had the dream that the people who you call "historically oppressed" now spit in the face of when they discover that judging people based on the color of their skin is to their own advantage in a woke society.

Let me know if you don't understand what the study I posted researched and [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] their data showed.

I'm sorry if you were tripped up by that single word. By all means don't feel a need to find another way to avoid the questions, I'll just bow it of this one.

Your "study" was simply a propaganda attempt to try to shame white people. Nothing more.

What? Did you even read a part of the paper?

The authors refuted part of the 'last hired, first fired' hypothesis (finding African Americans actually have a higher rate of gaining employment when conditions pick up in the business cycle) while confirming another part (finding African Americans tend to depart employment at an earlier stage of a downward business cycle, and have disproportionately high rates of unemployment through business cycle downturns).

To quote: "The observed patterns are consistent with the hypothesis that blacks are the first fired when the economy weakens but are not supportive of the argument that blacks are the last hired during periods of growth."

There's also a couple of very interesting sections on how African-American employment/occupation patterns produce this effect, as well as discussions on effects like education, marital status, tenure and transitions in and out of the labour force relative to the economic cycle.

Not only that, their findings are broadly in concurrence with at least nine other studies related to race and employment in the US.

I can hardly comprehend how someone could label something so thoughtful, insightful and multi-faceted as this paper "propaganda". The word may as well have a no meaning given how loosely it's being used here.

It would be nice if he would make up his mind.

I think he just forgot what he said or his walk in double forgot what the other guy said the day before

Just goes to show how little you know about what he actually stood for. MLK explicitly advocated for special treatment of Black people due to the special wrongs committed against them for hundreds of years. It’s not about judgment, it’s about justice.

Don't worry. Soon they'll be getting around $223,000 in CA just for identifying as being black or Native American. Once that money is spent, everything will be perfectly fine, and those people will suddenly become hard-working taxpayers rather than people living on the street with a drug or alcohol problem.
Oh, and the democratic party will have reigned in what they used to be able to count on as a stable voting base for their side. They can vote themselves a lottery-sized win.

California task force suggests paying $223,000 in reparations to Black residents

A California panel has recommended that the state pay more than $223,000 to applicable Black residents who have been affected by housing discrimination, according to a report.

you know what's funny though? A UBI was shown to have a statistically significant impact on increasing folks' ability to do JUST what you wrote..

I would posit republicans continue their war on poor and minorities too though. I mean, you make it seem as though Democrats are WINNING OVER minorities. That is not hte case. REpublicans consistently LOSE them because y'all support racists and constantly spout off prejudice garbage like this post. Democrats BARELY help minorities (though they do things). It's republicans losing them that should be the problem...like "don't worry about me saying things you find offensive, of COURSE I respect you" just doesn't cover it with an intelligent thinking human person.

None of which refutes my post, but attempts to divert attention from the truth of it.

No no! I'm glad we are in agreement! Republicans lose minority support because of their problems with minorities and their unwillingness to communicate respectfully with them.

But I can see why you'd be angry at minorities for supporting democrats. What's surprising is that you're blaming democrats for it and not just taking a few steps back and realizing that most minorities TEND To vote towards social conservative issues but they just can't stomach just how disrespectful you all are towards them (EDIT: Of course some of them can, and end up often being used as tokens). It's kinda funny....and it's also why, as a left learner, I say, please, don't change a thing.

You mean you want minorities to be disrespected? Just going by your words here.
But since you admit minorities TEND to vote for social conservatives, how disconcerting it must be to hear Chuck Schumer come out and admit that he fully intends to get the 11 million illegals turned into citizens.

Wasn’t it just a few posts back you were shaking your head at the idea of judging people by the color of their skin? Now you’re over here blatantly calling Black and Native CA residents a bunch of lazy, tax-evading drunks. Well, at least you’re not pretending to be aligned with MLK anymore.

Can you quote where I said that? Nope!
Care to address the topic any further?

Not quite sure how we’re meant to interpret your quote

“Once that money is spent, everything will be perfectly fine, and those people will suddenly become hard-working taxpayers rather than people living on the street with a drug or alcohol problem.”

in any way other than as a sarcastic remark suggesting the recipients of the proposed reparations (Black and Native Americans) are not hard-working taxpayers but rather live on the streets with a drug problem. Did you mean something else?
