but fully expected this to be about how Women Are Great And Men Should Just Go Fuck Themselves. Which would have turned me away.

Daphne is a bit wistful.

I’m late to this thread, so sorry if someone else already covered this, but I was annoyed by how little help the rest of the gang was during the Billy v. Steve fight. Steve is great and clearly in over his head against someone who laughs when you punch him. Couldn’t Lucas or Dustin or Max have hit him with the…

As historians have pointed out, Lee didn’t really have to win the war offensively. A defensive strategy would have worked better, played to the strengths of the South, worn down the North’s will to fight, maybe garnered French support, etc. The North had to win by winning; the South only had to not lose for long…

The idea that Lee was a brilliant general has undergone some revision. Too focused on Virginia, his home state. Too offensive, when defense played much better to the South’s strengths. To paraphrase McPherson: “the North had to win; the South only had to not lose for long enough.”

Didn’t Cleveland say they would ease back on Wahoo the caricature? It seems as prominent as ever.

No. I don’t believe in magic.

My mistake. Apologies.

Just get a job, huh? Easy as that? Education, structural racism, cycles of poverty, etc. don’t matter. Just, get a job?

Having banned it, in an admittedly empty gesture, isn’t singing it now a bit of an fu to the critics? Maybe that was the point of the post. If so, sorry for being obtuse.

The Law is for the Protection of the People. Still relevant.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. You have summarized by thoughts perfectly. Bravo.

You’re right, animals are the same as people. I stand corrected.

What can a white person do to get on the right side of the revolution, short of getting between a cop and a poc?

I’m looking at their pets, not reading their minds, idiot. I’m pretty sure you’re an asshole. Get bent.

I can usually tell a pet from a legit service animal Mr. says things online he’d never say to anyone’s face internet cliche. I described an observable phenomenon, more people bringing their animals places. You got mad, abusive. So, stfu, yourself. Ass.

I can deal with that, of course. I just don’t believe everyone. It’s easy to get one of those meaningless certificates and/or doggie jackets. The people who game the system in order to take their pet everywhere ruin it for the people who have a real need, was my main point. Cheers.

If a white person were interested in attending an HBCU, what would you tell them? Is it possible, advisable? Would they be viewed with suspicion as encroaching on a safe space? Thanks.
