Systemic / Institutional / Societal Racism

[elliseamos]

Is it called democracy?

But that requires equitable representation, so that can't possibly be what exists in Mississippi.

Alabama (judges) get what I'm saying.

Dutch tourist fined over Nazi salute at Auschwitz

i hope they throw the maximum fine/sentence at her and then triple those fines and sentence

[Bammer]

No.

Thanks. My bad. I had read something on page 1 of this thread, thinking it was the most recent page, then couldn’t find it.

Maybe systemic racism is almost entirely a thing of the past. Maybe there are other issues/forces at play holding groups of people down.

What if Tree has made two separate statements here, one being inaccurate and the other being accurate?

[B]

No.

Now we will start whittling away at teaching about the Holocaust.

Off topic for the thread, but on topic for school stuff: Florida's House passed a bill that would prohibit elementary school teachers from teaching/discussing LGBTQ and would apparently legally protect teachers who out a student to their parent. So, yeah.

Due to recent gerrymandering in our state, Nashville is now split into 3 senate districts. One of the people running for one of the districts is running on a promise to revoke and erase any LGBTQ rights they currently have and a promise not to let them have any rights based on their LGBTQ status.

[Bammer]

That’s very not good (but wrong thread)

We had a bill that was going to REQUIRE teachers to inform parents if their kid behaved in a manner that did not confirm to their gender.

So we just had a CRT-lite staff meeting/training about an hour ago. They did two sessions and I'm just disappointed that the guy who wears a "The next variant is communism" shirt wasn't in my group.

[Mickey]

That's so fucking stupid, all the variants are communism you rube

Johns Hopkins reports that lockdown has prevented covid deaths by a factor of 0.02%

(In other words some people were always vulnerable no matter what anyone did, while everyone else has been just fine - temporary mandates rendered worthless. Basically.)
