posted by geeblockI dont have kids but how about you make medical decisions for your kids and the content they read and let others do the same sounds like the best idea.
That’d be fine if your definition of medical decisions wasn’t child abuse.
posted by geeblockI’ll finish with this on the topic. I couldn’t care less if they ban 100 books. Kids don’t really check out books from the library anyway. It is a huge argument about something that rarely happens. But like I said people don’t want other’s controlling what they do. They don’t want the govt in their medical decisions or in their schools. I will always be about less laws. Same with the gender reassignment stuff, it is extremely rare and it has turned into literally the whole party platform. It’s weird, all of it. Hyper focused on stuff that doesn’t really happen and it will continue to cost elections. How about worry about inflation or housing or homeless or veterans or something.

Based on that statement I would agree that man is homophobic.
That being said, based on actual words said, you agree that Biden is far more racist and hates black people more than Trump right?

It’s funny you say that and yes I agree his line of thinking reveals an underlying racist way of thinking about black people. I’m glad we can agree that systemic bias is something that is ingrained even to the highest levels of government and can often be unintentional.

You do realize individual people do not make anything systematic right?

Also, systematic means actual laws or how the laws are applied, not individual people.
You know this right?
Best example is that the people who wrote the Contitution were racist and owned slaves, but the document itself is not racist or an example of systematic racism.

Hard for it to be racist when it didn’t include blacks people lol .
Enjoy your day man I’m not rehashing this argument we have beat it to death

I was same he came to hold those beliefs because of the system. Either way saying the president of the United States is racist isn’t the sick burn you are looking for I don’t think

Who said kids are too young to learn about race? Do you just make shit up?
Ok, I rewatched the vid and put forth some thought on it this time. I have some thoughts on it.
- kids call each other goofy ass nicknames all the time, it's what they do, they're little lord of the flies shits
- if this kid wasn't aware that race could somehow inject itself into asking if his buddy could come out to play, the woman made damn sure to draw attention to her son
- hopefully the kids that wanted to play with this kid, or their parents, don't see this video, because the woman fucked up everything
- I especially hope that the kid who wasn't available to play doesn't see the video because it's just going to make him very self conscious and awkward

Not sure of the context of the video, but I guess the fact he called a black kid a monkey just goes over your head?
Do you not understand the historic context of that?
That said,not a fan of posting this on social media. Just go to the parents and explain it and use it as a teaching moment.

Indeed, that was not my first thought. I was thinking the vid would be some sort of destruction of property or maybe a fight between the boy and his friend.
I'm well aware of the historical context. The fact that the boys friends nicknamed him monkey could have been for other reasons. We don't know. As I said, young kids are little shits who nickname each other with stupid ass names and they generally aren't based on socio, eco, politico, cultural lines. In the video itself, the person who injected racism into it was the adult.
Sometimes there is no there, there. Sometimes there is.
If it comes to light that some adult or older kid put the boy up to going to his friends house and calling him that specific name for some sort of shenanigans, I would certainly jump into the outrage.
But based on that little video by itself, the adult projected her own fears onto that kid and then sent the video up to go around for whatever reason.

You quoted my post about the Constitution and are talking about the kid in the video that has nothing to do with the Constitution?
Did you have a stroke and quote the wrong post?

oh i thought it was on the latest post not paying attention. but of course it didnt include any other race because blacks were property.
Wow, a 10 year old saying something dumb. Who cares, that isn’t news. And no one has ever said not to teach kids about race, they just don’t want woke biased teachers telling white kids they’re all racist just bc of their skin color.
Back to the idiot left, remember when they all said the whole banning of gas stoves was a joke and the left wasn’t serious about it?
Breaking news: New York has become the first state in the nation to pass a law banning natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings, a move that could inspire other states and further erode the residential future of the gas industry. https://t.co/IqAY1iSo4n

Wherever leftists have control, they will seek control of your every move, and apparently your thouhts as well. California city tried to an end run on the gas stove topic by banning gas piping, so you could go ahead and get a gas stove, you just wouldn't be able to use it. Luckily a judge interceded and struck that particular ploy in that particular area down, but it will not stop the leftists; they will just keep coming and coming from all different directions using any method possible to get their way and force you to do what they want.

It didn’t include ANY race, including white/Caucasian.
Are you that ill-informed about what is in the Constitution?
Are you that ill-informed to not know that not all blacks were slaves when the Constitution was written, so no, not all blacks were property, about 60,000 free black citizens according to the 1790 Census.
Unless you can point out anywhere in the Constitution that white race is even mentioned, you should rescind your asinine statement and it’s scary that you teach kids with this ignorance about history.

Im not going to argue with you. If you think a group of people who owned slaves and knew it was wrong wrote piece of legislation that saw all races as equal and applied to all people thats up to you.
On the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the US Constitution, Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to sit on the Supreme Court, said that the Constitution was "defective from the start." He pointed out that the framers had left out a majority of Americans when they wrote the phrase, "We the People." While some members of the Constitutional Convention voiced "eloquent objections" to slavery, Marshall said they "consented to a document which laid a foundation for the tragic events which were to follow."
The word "slave" does not appear in the Constitution. The framers consciously avoided the word, recognizing that it would sully the document. Nevertheless, slavery received important protections in the Constitution. The notorious three-fifths clause—which counted three-fifths of a state’s slave population in apportioning representation—gave the South extra representation in the House of Representatives and extra votes in the Electoral College. Thomas Jefferson would have lost the election of 1800 if not for the Three-fifths Compromise. The Constitution also prohibited Congress from outlawing the Atlantic slave trade for twenty years. A fugitive slave clause required the return of runaway slaves to their owners. The Constitution gave the federal government the power to put down domestic rebellions, including slave insurrections.
The framers of the Constitution believed that concessions on slavery were the price for the support of southern delegates for a strong central government. They were convinced that if the Constitution restricted the slave trade, South Carolina and Georgia would refuse to join the Union. But by sidestepping the slavery issue, the framers left the seeds for future conflict. After the convention approved the great compromise, Madison wrote: "It seems now to be pretty well understood that the real difference of interests lies not between the large and small but between the northern and southern states. The institution of slavery and its consequences form the line of discrimination."
