@SubtleSara We are all inclusive here
Take the opportunity to teach non-adults how to internet 😂
Avoid twitter and tik tok?
These people are unhinged
I am not sure if this is the right chat, but my writing course, academic writing course, is making us read a long passage on the case for reparations and today we're listening to the radio talk show with the author and people calling in to discuss the argument.
It's not writing....it has nothing to do with academic writing....it's a radio talk show about reparations and systemic racism
Well, it's about the left being crazy like usual, so it might as well be the right channel.
yeah that's what i thought, because i've never had a class so focused on activist type thinking while continually saying "you don't have to agree" it's just writing.
this is what we're listening to in my /academic writing/ course
i don't understand what they mean by "moral debt", we can pay the "debt" simply by making blacks have the same requirements as whites.
affirmative action and other things like that won't pay whatever debt they're talking about.
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
yeah, most of them are really radical and idealistic
like for us to be their slaves or smth
except we don't need this "revenge" of theirs
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
the left always has this attitude of "what if it happened to you??? HUH??!?!?!?!?!?"
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
even Barrack Obama said it'd be useless, sooooooooooooo
Those Karen liberals. You gotta love it.
Hopefully I don't have to deal with any. I don't know if I could hold it together (I could run fast enough though).
Yeah, ""liberals."" Liberals to themselves, neodictators to others.
@Starlaur18 write about how systemic racism and reparations are wrong and stupid, citing at least two dozen sources. Then, if the professor fails you because you disagree, take it to the administration. Don't stop fighting it until you win.

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

@Starlaur18 hmmm, I wonder what it reminds me of... yeah, and they're the ones who say Christianity is "believe, don't search" or smth like that
lol yup
