Simplifying the tax code won’t solve racism, but it couldn’t help some of this I am sure.  The rich can afford great accountants, and save every receipt to help on deductions.  If someone is poor and only needs to file a W-2 it is simple, but as soon as you have multiple dependents, or self-employed income, or some…

No one is sexualizing children by affirming their stated sexuality. If homophobia didn’t exist, a big deal wouldn’t need to be made to make LGBTQ children feel safe and accepted to counteract the rest of the world. But it does. And you’re not being honest if you think heterosexuality is not assumed and “celebrated”…

This is because outside of twitter, the democratic party is still a liberal party. (the republicans are also liberals, america has been for a very long time a purely liberal country). That a faction of illiberal progressives have recently (since 2009-2012 or so) tried to coopt the party doesnt change that.

Its a…

“It seems logical, that they are volunteering for whatever surveillance the monitors entail.”

Every culture on earth that encountered africans has a tradition of blackface. From America to india to china and japan. The fact of the matter is, black people look funny. Hell this is even a thing in africa, if cosmetic surgery and skin lightening trends are to be believed. 

That is not actually correct in Chicago nor are the majority of young people who end up with EM “juvenile delinquents.” As noted in the article, it is typical for EM to be used before a minor’s court date (so they are accused but not convicted of a crime). Many times, charges are dropped. And no, they are not charged…

I would bet you a bajillion dollars that no one clearly explains the surveillance capabilities of the device to a potential wearer.

Hahaha, whatever makes you sleep at night!

Dude, I don’t know what you’re reading from Black people in 1840, but I don’t believe there ever was a time where a White actor wore Blackface who was not bigoted or intended to denigrate Black people due to their wretched conditions in slaveholding America. They knew how to apply dark makeup in a way to not make it…

The thing is...I don’t think the definition has changed all that much.  Hell, civil rights leaders were talking about the same things 60 years ago that we’re talking about now.

I am kind of confused why people are mad at your comment. You never state that you agree with the things public schools do for such situations. You just stated the unfortunate reality that happens a lot in public schools. I question the sanity of some of the commenters really.

I would love to see the Schedule C on that one.. And if you can tax it, then you could insure it..

Suspension seems entirely too light considering a kid died.

Nothing that would EVER warranet a beating, let alone death, that’s for damn sure.

There’s actually no such thing as racism. Hate is hate and skin color has nothing to do with it.

Before you continue talking to me I should warn you I’m an Elite Gamer and I hate women and minorities (even though I’m a minority myself).

“Journalists” don’t usually take Admin Law, David.  

I thought AOC was channeling HRC.

I believe this is the first time that Gregoy Peck was ever referenced in the comment section of The Root.
