Hang in there!

Cause I spits hot fire!

My only conclusion is that it is unwise to be surprised when the guys who love money say they have the same moral standard as everyone else. Everyone else is who they want to get that money from.

But I was talking about the general assumption that CEOs would be indifferent to racism. It doesn't seem like a reasonable assumption to me, because regardless of whether or not they have a moral compass, their overriding principle is that it is not the color of your skin but the contents of your wallet that matter.

I don't get the hate on Capitlists, if black peoples money didn't spend America would have made a lot less progress.

Jessica Alba is a billionaire.

I don't expect much of any people in their 90's. If I make it that long I ain't gonna be accomplishing much, even talk.

Well, I may not be impartial seeing as all the folks I ever liked were dead by their 90's, but which old folks?

Anybody who uses Facebook or any other site they give their age to. Database matching is a bitch.

Yeah, they didn't want attention when they were lighting crosses on fire on peoples lawns. They didn't want attention when they were marching down the streets in white hoods. But now they want attention, and not to frighten and bully people.

I don't think every judge would agree with you about the limits of the fighting words doctrine. That speech did imminently incite violence, most of those counter protestors were just townsfolk who heard what the white supremacists were saying and got incited. They imminently incited both the counter protestors and the

No, their hope, for 200+ years, has been to frighten people into silent assent.

My favorite decade was 2005-2015. The weed was good.

Blithely invoking the first amendment may get you an A in civics but it's no way to run a society. Words that incite violence are not allowed, because they incite violence. Like how holding a white nationalist rally is calculated to incite people to respond violently.

I used to think he should get struck by lightning. Now I'm wondering if maybe a house could fall on him somehow?

Is it unrelated to swastikas? Or are swastikas just bent up crosses that haven't been lit on fire yet?

The USA was at its best when it was still being discussed and all of those high ideals were just on paper, before it was put into practice and compromised. We've always been a nation that strives for an ideal we haven't actually achieved. The hypocrisy of founding a slave owning nation with the claim that all men are

Also, there's a reason that Germans are legally prohibited from saying "We hate Nazis but get over it."

Isn't that kind of like saying it's time to get over that whole "thou shall not kill" obsession because it's time to stop living in ancient times?

It seems like your point is that we should be arguing over greed rather than the human impulse to authoritarianism. That's pretty dumb. We're people, we can fail to address multiple problems.
