it's a fundamentally imperfect system because it affords swaths of people more leverage than others, but the intent of the system is to help the downtrodden, which is virtuous
oof strugglin with spelling virtuous today
I can see why these blurred lines can become so divisive. But few people really wanna dig into all the various aspects of the topic
Yeah I only recently started taking a stand on this topic after researching why affirmative action exists, and there's still implementations of it that I fundamentally disagree with, like quotas
because it is a blurred line, but we're trying to understand it together as a country, which is good as long as we keep acting in good faith: helping those who need help.
Yeah with that sorta issue, because it would take so much time to vet all the students thoroughly like that, whichever decision is made based on this issue is going to piss people off.
If you accept only based on merit, you piss off people who support those who have had to overcome. If you accept based on what people had to overcome, you piss off those who worked hard for their spots.
right, so holistically you should consider both, which is what affirmative action does
Seems like a lot of division is based in philosophical debate without people realizing it
mhm, or people wanting to push for a slight change by arguing for the extreme, and if both sides do that you never explore nuance in an issue
great example: bernie saying he's a democratic socialist when he's clearly a social democrat, and he confuses the issue sometimes because people take him at his word and not his implication for change
We get to discuss mania in psych today. Yay. -_- lol
eyyyy tyrion
Don Lemon calls the meeting between Trump and Kanye West a “ Minstrel Show” and accuses him of being mentally ill. He also criticized the media for covering this event, which is ironic because he himself covered it in multiple segments. Don claims that KWs mother is rolling in her grave. He also clutches pearl over the use The the word fuck. This is the most condescending I’ve ever seen him, which is saying a lot. Gloria Borger makes the bizarre claim that Trump should have publicly reprimanded him for using the word fuck and launched into a rant about victims of the hurricane that just hit Florida. She, and lemon, were upset that this event was getting press coverage distracting from the hurricane, which is ironic because they all chose to be on a panel on the subject. This segment is why people hate CNN

“ Kanye West accidentally reveals the code to unlock his iPhone is ‘ 0000000’ during Trump visit - twitter loses it “ by Taryn Ryder on Yahoo News
Blue checks and la resistance on twitter expose their elitism by criticizing Kanye for having a weak password. Of course journalists follow this up by writing asinine articles on the event.

“ Kanye West won’t listen to pleas to get back on meds amid ‘ unhinged ‘ White House rant: source “ by Steve Helling and Natalie Stone on People
This article was on the front page of google the day of KWs meeting with Trump. It uses an anonymous source to claim that Kanye’s family thinks he’s insane.

“ Kanye West is no victim; he’s a fully-grown, ignorant man-child “ by Clay Cane on CNN
Article paints Kanye West as an illiterate narcissist that has “ set us back 155 years” . By “ us” they mean blacks, and by “ back 155 years” they seem to be claiming the meeting somehow brought slavery back. This is also another example of CNN pearl clutching about this event distracting from hurricane victims. They make this claim, but can’t seem to shut up about the meeting to talk about the subject. This article also claims that Trump “ is known for exploiting...September 11th terrorist attacks.

The democratic wrecking machine never rests. As long as Trump has supporters, the liberal slander machine is at work to delegitimise them. I get upset just like everyone else when these tactics are used, but it’s getting so predictable now it’s rather hilarious. All fair-minded Americans whom actually pay attention to the politics should be clued into this by now. I don’t even know what democrats run on anymore—all they stand for is impeachment, slander and kicking people it seems.
@Lokias yes, I agree. The Dems don’t even run on a platform anymore. It’s exactly as you say. That’s why they will fail in the midterms and 2020
“ Melania Trump: ‘ I’m the most bullied person on the world ‘ by Veronica on CNN
CNN and other media outlets misrepresented Melania’s comments regarding her being bullied. She says she was one of the most bullied, not the most. Which is arguably true when considering the media’s coverage of the First Lady and her family.

“ Why the Kanye West-Jim Brown lunch with Trump was a disaster “ by Nia - Malika Henderson on CNN
This article suggest that Kanye West , Jim Brown , and Trump are somehow putting lives in danger by having a lunch meeting. CNN is deranged.
http://archive.today/p9vcz
you should have seen what people said a few times on Breitbart and a few other news sites
they basically looked at something good Trump had done, and guessed the absurd ways the lamestream media would twist it to make it look bad
The media is really losing its mind over this.
They are afraid.
Kanye 2020
Kanye 2024
You know in all honesty, Kanye's a good guy but I don't see him fit. Also I'd take God Emperor Trump over Kanye any day, rather have the real deal for 2020
Memes aside, I love what Kanye is doing, but if he really wants to be president in 2024 he still has a long ways to go to sell me on that.
But It’s not impossible....
Oh yeah definitely, I mean the man's a rapper
