this is what we're listening to in my /academic writing/ course

i guess the argument i gather is that they don't want equality under law. moral equality is not a thing and will never be a thing, morals are subjective.

so all i see is that "equality" at this point is not enough

honestly, it seems that way. I am mixed and as other people with a brain point out...how does one handle mixed race people?

like do I pay back myself? or what? My ancestors were not from the US back 350yrs ago so do I just sit it out?

the argument inevitably falls apart for reparations, since nothing done in the present will undo the fact that the past happened

Right, but they forget to mention that it didn't, and that laws were made to change the issues and that most of the US is made up of people who came in after slavery was abolished

but they were treated wrong too so do we have to pay them anything? i mean, even obama said it would not be wise to spend time on reparations

corrupt or not, he did make a solid point about it while in office

They don’t even want a response for it, we’re just supposed to “listen and think”

Maybe we’ll be asked later but today it was just to read and listen

lol yup

The late ballots could be for Trump though, I don’t know why dems just assume all their votes are gonna come late; Unless they somehow set up new cons for getting votes, idk what it would do

I just feel like it’ll be obvious though if they manufacture votes

Say trump wins Pennsyvlania by a landslide

Then what? Tens if thousands of voters put in a ballot 3 days after election all swinging for biden

Not sus at all

So bad even brainwashed people see it

So yeah I doubt the extra 3 days will help them out of the grave they’re digging themselves

i mean, the "ketchup" could have anything else mixed with it, you never know. it is worth reporting if someone sprays you with something like that during a protest

voter id is not voter suppression, every citizen has an ID, black people have state ID's or a driver's license

the voter ID would just rid the election of illegal voters and also make fraud harder....and the left doesn't want that

also if you can get through the DMV for literally anything, you can vote with an ID

really a state ID or driver's license is enough

it's the same ID you'd use for literally anything else

yup

again, the stuff you use to get car loans or go to dmv all works, it is amazing voting has no process to check ID

he also always wears red ties

but he had on a blue one there

just saying

channel called conspiracy theories not facts

there is very little way anyone here could know the answer

same with his whereabouts

i mean honest, the president of the united states

if a discord channel could locate him

deep state would have him already

the planes are likely all a distraction of some kind

"look over here" type stuff

never give up the con, deny deny deny, and when you think you got caught, distract them

anyone's guess

well dems always act like he's dumb but that's cause they play 4d chess with the same 2d chess rules

i give them some credit towards the art of the con

well yes chess is racist

there's not enough representation

yeah seems like scare tactic

nukes are not normal first choice for anything because of how strong they are now

how do you know?

wait so cleaning up for white supremacists is now anti-racist? and also promoting peace and racial equality?

-_-

source?

they can't cancel him, he's immune

that's more conspiracy than news

i mean there is no legislation over those labels and banning off social media is not government issued, so as far as it stands, it's all based of media and not much else

Well not exactly, you share similar pieces to a puzzle but your conclusion is your own

therefore, your theory not everyone's and not a factually proven one

there's no "right wrong" only what "is" and "is not" proven

i'm not here to argue with your view or theory, i'm just saying this is the news chat

Where’s the article about vatican blackout? I saw video but it wasn’t clear that there was no power

Which is odd since they ignore when he does condemn it anyhow and never accept anything he says

didn't think you could pre-sign military orders when not in office...and nobody knows who the source is

would not put so much weight into that information

If he signed insurrection act, they’re just digging a deeper grave for themselves

no, they're still just talking about impeachment

race isn't really much but phenotype variation, genetically speaking it's not really much of a difference

we can spot our differences but for everything else it is quite small

ever race has at some point been enslaved by another

but nobody wants to talk about that

I think comparing peoples suffering as an “I had it worse” type thing is not productive

Because in that way someone will always have it worse

So to say black people had it the worst does not promote anything but a closed off conversation

looking for a quote from here, but this was super helpful

well worth a listen

the number of whites in africa who were enslaved by the barberry pirates, exceeded the number of africans enslaved in the united states and in the american colonies before that

that struck me

nobody mentions it

one cannot talk about american history without talking about other countries

after all we were the melting pot

and we are involved almost everywhere, not in isolation

they did know better

that's why the movements became so groundbreaking

I actually think in a lot of ways, younger people are the ones moving backwards

people confuse: nationality, ethnicity, and race all the time

and i can confirm, being mixed race confuses everyone

i mean race has like 4 categories normally and ethnicity is a wide list but nationality is just the country you're from

race is not skin

i am mixed, i did dna test

looks mean nothing

it's fun

i think the argument is just with the amount of travel in the world, race is really hard to even define

ethnicity can go based of historically accurate genetic markers based on regions in world

going back to early civilization

like you can track celtic groups and african tribal groups

but most people are a mix of those anyhow

by now especially

dna is fascinating but looks can and are deceiving

because certain human characteristics like eye and hair and skin color (the main ones) have many different genes that control expression
