Actively requesting/trying to fire someone is completely different than contemplating a what-if scenario. I find it hard to believe that previous presidents didn’t ask other staffers “what would happen if...” or “what are your thoughts on....” for a bunch of things that never came to fruition. I have to believe that…

Wait -what? Pretty much any country that was “discovered” by an explorer had indigenous people. They are still credited for the discovery. The “discovery” is the act of finding and publishing the location of the country to some broader area of the world beyond the native land. I don’t think I’ve met anyone that though…

OMG that was amazing. I was rather neutral on the professor and figured that much of the flak against her paper were people that hadn’t read it, took it out of context, etc. Did you read anything on that “math for spatial justice” website or did you just link it here? The website is from the professor herself and…

It’s a free country - think what you want.

The dems know that this is a perilous time for DACA and the Dreamers (sounds like a band when you say it that way). Immigration law needs to be passed by Congress, but DACA was construction through executive action of the previous administration. Trump canned that and told Congress if they wanted DACA they needed to…

The content of the paper was “It difficult for teachers to identify with children of different races because they don’t share their backgrounds or experiences.”

Commenters here often point out how reddit is a bastion of conservative opinions that spew hate and ignorance. Could it be that these commenters just can’t understand because they are not of a conservative mindset? Could it be that their lack of a specific perspective may lead them to draw uninformed conclusions about…

I would suggest that many people that responded negatively did so because of the content, or their perceived content of the paper. It is a false defense to dismiss them by saving that they are sexist, homophobic, etc. The same thing happened when people disagreed with then-President Obama on any issue. Their…

I read the article you mentioned, as well as others on the Root and the problem with your statement (paraphrasing: ‘you don’t get it because you’re white’) as it prevents any opposing viewpoint from being considered. You’re demonizing (at times) an entire race and then dismissing any opposing argument from them as…

You have to admit - it has been well played by the Left. First they assign you “privilege” to make you feel guilty and then they demonize you, knowing that you can’t respond defensively or, even if you do, it is dismissed as you exercising your racist privilege. The Root website is by far one of the most racist…

Well, most people think that there shit doesn’t stink, but it does; because shit stinks. Here are some of the more publicized violent actions by the Left going back a couple of years with probably the most memorable for most people being the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise:

There are assholes everywhere. Right or left, they think that they know what’s best for everyone and everyone that disagrees should be euthanized or some other crazy nonsense. Unfortunately, many of these people are very vocal, even though they are the minority and they derail constructive dialog. For example, making…

I saw the right-wing attacks on the paper so I actually went an read it, which I suspect is more than many were doing. From the paper:

Only for people that take things too seriously or are too concerned with political correctness. Law enforcement training and performance has actually improved over the last 17 years - thanks in part to the focus from the media and the public on horrific violations of not only conduct but law.

Wait, so I we’re mad at the guy for reporting a crime (the crime being illegal immigration)? I mean yeah, he sounds like a whack job, but at the end of the day all he’s doing is reporting crimes.

It was literally a wardrobe malfunction. Justin was supposed to tear away part of the outfit, with the undergarment remaining. That failed to happen. Neither Janet nor Timberlake were to blame for that. Apparently a bunch of up-tight viewers got the twisted idea that Janet was some type of exhibitionist and this was…

Oh snap - you were doing so well until the whole “America also hates women” bullshit. But yes, the rest was accurate.

The owner was in the car and doesn’t appeared to have done anything to stop the assault. The article says that charges haven’t been filed yet, so he may not face charges.

Yeah that does seem difficult (impossible) to believe, based on my own height and weight.
