Yeah, when has the little guy ever had to fall on his sword for the big guy?

economic anxiety feeds racism

It’s not often the police that shoot an unarmed 15-year old are the good guys. Making someone else commit your suicide for you is a shitty thing to do.

It depends on the tone of the heckling.

Testing well COULD, I guess, be a sign of economic privilege. Paying tuition is definitely a sign of economic privilege.

You don’t pay $500,000 per semester for them to FAIL your son or daughter.

It’s weird how you don’t understand that economic anxiety feeds racism, especially among the ignorant.

If you want to argue that it’s not reasonable to expect an elected official to read ALL the material presented to him, fine. Arguing that they shouldn’t even need to open something that’ll affect ALL AMERICANS is ridiculous. If this guy can’t be bothered to read a document as important to people’s futures as this,…

Interpreting Jesus as a political dissident is making the exact same mistake that Peter did when he thought that he was supposed to use his sword to protect Jesus in the garden, and indeed, if those people who arrived at the gates were there because they thought Jesus was getting ready to kick the Romans out, they…

This entire exchange started because you didn’t get a joke someone said about this racist piece of shit feeling economic anxiety

This is actually a dumb criticism whenever it’s brought up. Asking a legislator to read every part of every bill is like asking a software development team lead to personally review every line of code their team writes.

WHY DO THEY WANT TO USE THE WORD SO MUCH?

Of course, you disagree that’s why you’re going on with this asinine premise that it was economic insecurity ignoring the fact that on average Trump voters actually made more than Clinton voters.

No one should HAVE to be a hero, but she stepped the fuck up. I have a ton of respect for her. Hope she gets out soon.

I was on the fence until the description of the actual posts. Post specifically targeting people in their school? Yeah, fuck ‘em. Little shits.

I vehemently disagree. John 12:12. HUGE crowds came out to see Jesus enter Jerusalem in triumph, yelling his praises. The Pharisees are explicitly depicted as being pissed. There’s no reason to believe this is an orderly, organized, polite procession (and in fact, it’s kind of naive to think it would be). This is a…

I disagree. Racism played a part, certainly. But it’s not the ONLY part. Same with misogyny. Was there enough misogynist voters to lose Hillary the election? Maybe. Is it the ONLY reason people didn’t vote for her? Absolutely not. We’re talking millions of people (though not as many as who just didn’t bother) and you…

Yeah, it’s a tricky situation. There’s just something about the argument “because of anatomy, it doesn’t COUNT if men don’t consent” that really raises a bunch of red flags for me, even if I can’t quite articulate why. If the argument made elsewhere here, that “stealthing” is bad only because of risk of STIs and…

We should be past the point, as a society, where we resort to snap judgments based on superficial characteristics of a person.

Both years, about one in three of those people has been black.
