@captive_dreamer "Just a beautiful place being totally ruined by Democrat governance" Just a beautiful place THAT HAS BEEN totally ruined by Democrat governance There. Fixed it.

Really hate watching what these people are doing to Los Angeles. Just totally destroying one of the few cities in the US that has a magical aura about it. Just a beautiful place being totally ruined by Democrat governance

@bitsinabyte @ArtemisConsort Affirmative Action and DEI programs are systemic and, therefore, racist.

No black person would define racism like that. Racism is systemic in nature and pertains to a power dynamic. No one individual in society calling another individual a nasty name. You’re leaving out the aggregate effect of all the individuals doing “racist” things in aggregate. Like redlining….thats racist. A bank denying mortgages due to race, that’s racism. A kid calling another kid the n-word is bigotry but it’s not racist. Same kid as a 40 year old man never promoting anyone of color due to their color, racism.

The Nowak case clearly highlights that we need to stop treating racism as an ~infinite evil, not because Nowak was racist (no evidence of this) but because any time you create a social superweapon like accusations of racism are now, it’ll be misused horribly. What is racism? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 12 opinions. Historically, it meant someone who treats people badly in interpersonal interactions because of their race. Which is just, like, kinda annoying and slightly boorish. It’s not the apocalypse. There are many personal traits that are equally or more annoying. Now the definition has been ludicrously expanded to include a bunch of things even less objectionable than that, including belief in very plausible scientific claims and policy preferences that were near-universal for almost all of human history. Racism just isn’t a big deal. We have to take it off its pedestal. If Nowak had said something racist, it would morally change exactly nothing about the horror of what happened to him. He didn’t, but I feel over-focusing on that distracts from the fact that it wouldn’t matter if he had. Murder is worse than racism. Hell, shoplifting is worse than racism. Enough. Who cares.

@ChristianHeiens The prospective black jurors may very well have been looking for an out from jury duty.

There are no black jurors in the Karmelo Anthony trial because the prospective black jurors told prosecutors they would not vote to convict Anthony because he is black.

@TruthWinzz I don't agree with the content of Lucy's message. However, there is no specific connection between what she posted and any tangible physical threat to any of the groups she referenced. That is why I don't think she was wrong in publishing her post.

It was a wrong thing to post, really wrong. Lucy Connolly JAILED 2 1/2 yrs. Cmon, she's no history of violence, she deleted the post. The woman lost a 19month old baby through #NHS Neglect. I think she's been through enough #LucyConnolly

I really hope bombs don't start to go off at anyone or anything, otherwise we will be living in a state of terror. We are living in troubling times and I pray for peace.

I'm relieved that nothing happened to this judge in Germany after her sentencing against the 10+ immigrants in the rape case. There were personal online attacks directed at her. Hoping that time of cooling of tempers will provide a buffer to her safety. laprensalatina.com/judges-associa…

I'm glad to see the German police are doing what they can. They need to bring back civility to ensure public safety, protect themselves and judges who sometimes make controversial decisions.

Yes.

Thomas Wictor has a *must-read* thread over on that other site; no, not Parler, that other OTHER site. Go check it out when you can. Odds are *very* high Trump gets inaugurated on January 20th.
