You’re not going to explain becauseyou can’t, because it wasn’t wrong, because it’s essentially the same thing that most black parents in America tell their kids, who they would prefer to not end up dead at the hands of some racist cop—essentially the same thing my father told me.

Neither does being black...

Except Bernie gave the same answer that any of those people would give—the time and place to fight police misconduct is not when you’re on the street with a cop stopping you, because the result is you’ll likely end up dead. If walking away from that interaction alive is your primary goal, then you respond to officers…

Ok, whatever 🙄

Bernie’s answer is essentially the same thing that every black parent in America who doesn’t want their kid to end up dead as the result.of some bullshit pretextual stop actually tells their kid: if the police stop you, act respectfully, speak clearly and calmly, don’t make any fast or sudden movements, comply.

“Support for the LGBTQ+ community isn’t political in itself.”

Why not just vote for whomever you want abd let others do the same. Hate to break it to you, but the damage is already done with Trump. 

Then you’re kidding yourself. The Court is and always has been political, ever since Marbury v. Madison...

Dunno, I don’t pay that much attention to this stuff. But the rule at play here, by its own terms, is totally discretionary. The rule says they don’t have to do anything, but reserve the right to as they see fit.

What the fuck are you talking about?

“True but if you allow some soapboxing you allow all of it.”

No...their “Rule” is wholly discretionary, that means people should criticize Blizzard for poor exercise of that discretion. Banning someone for using racial slurs = good exercise of discretion. Banning someone from speaking out about a repressive, violent regime, poor exercise of discretion.

They aren't

And Asian students are already overrepresented at these universities. Black and historic students aren’t protesting to be given a shot—these are the policies of the universities themselves. The schools, and large portions of the student body, believe that diversity is important to the education of all students. No one…
