Ok like i said srk usually the home for the best discourse on politics because we do have all views here. But when there is bullshit we will call it out as a group

For the most part.

I just like it when we drop the tribalism and do this kumbaya bullshit

Also pedo is right about us being mad at trump for his now exposed by bolton on purpose shit takes to serve as distractions for his real dirt.

So trump does not have to try hard to make the ccp the bad guys. But he is making himself the target or ridicule for kung flu instead of him reducing testing for covid while we are still theoretically in the first wave of the disease.

He is also failing on trade. China and well most of those who trade with the us want a guarantee that all products are clean and covid free and are buying imports at a fraction of the cost and at a way smaller quantity.

This is why farms, coal, and textile is falling behind

US dollar keeps falling

So the other thing is we have record unemployment with the restrictions a lot of businesses are going out of business

Trump has no plan besided throw paltry sums at small business and give money to big corporations

People see less blacks. And go instantly to it must be systemic racism then. No. If it was then latino and asian communities would also be lacking. Though yes there are a lot of affluent asians. That does not make the majority of the student body. A lot of the asian students are there on scholarships, grades, and pretty much on merit regardless of socioeconomic status.

A lot of the students at us schools in general are there based on test scores and grades not on bullshit racial equality.

For asians we are there in large numbers due to hard work not due to cheating

Who wants to bet me that despite it being the worst possible thing you could do, that that fucking thing passes at at least 60%? Keep in mind that to date, the opposition is UNFUNDED ENTIRELY.

Asians getting into colleges is a non-issue. I feel like it’s the tiger parenting who drill academic accomplishment as a means of parental recognition and acknowledge for their children that has it going sideways more than anything. 4.0+ gpa Asian students not getting into the most prestigious universities has really pushed the narrative of “Asians not getting into ivy league due to AA” which has people turning apathetic. The ivy schools have like 5.5% acceptance rate and want to churn donation money from their alumni so they can add to their ridiculous endowments. High achieving American born Asian students have some of the absolute best college offers and can go to top 25 schools with full ride/near full ride easily.

Not getting accepted to a top 5 and instead having to “settle” for a non-ivy+MIT like John Hopkins, Duke or Berkley typically doesn’t inspire a lot of sympathy from the general public.

BREAKING: Bipartisan House Vote Passes Police Reform Bill That Bans Chokeholds, Qualified Immunity, and No-Knock Warrants

A police reform bill authored by House Democrats passed Thursday night by a 236 – 181 vote, a day after Senate Democrats blocked Sen. Tim Scott ‘s (R-SC) GOP-backed bill on police reform.

Three House Republicans —Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), and Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) — joined the entire Democratic House caucus to support the bill, which was named after George Floyd , whose alleged murder by Minneapolis police in May sparked nationwide outrage and unrest. The House bill will now head to the Senate where it is likely dead on arrival in that chamber’s Republican-led majority.

Last Wednesday, Republicans introduced legislation that would encourage police departments to end the use of chokeholds on suspects, but still allows the dangerous submission tactic if the officer deems his or her life is at stake. Senate Democrats criticized that policy as falling short of significant reform and and also opposed the GOP reform effort for failing to ban no-knock warrants — one of which was used in the police killing of Breonna Taylor — and qualified immunity for police misconduct.

In fiery speech, Scott had called out Democrats for blocking a vote and said, “Why wouldn’t you take the 80% now, see if you can win the election and add on the other 20%. You’ve got to be kidding me. Because the who matters, they cannot allow this party to be seen as a party that reaches out to all communities in this nation.”

The bill proposed by House Democrats goes further, as it outright bans chokeholds, ends qualified immunity for police, and eliminates no-knock warrants around the nation. It also helps victims of abuse from police face fewer obstacles to file civil lawsuits against specific departments.

“Today with the George Floyd justice and policing act, the House is honoring his life and the lives of all those killed by police brutality and pledging: Never again,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. “When we pass this bill, the Senate will have a choice to honor George Floyd’s life or to do nothing,”

Gone With The Wind Returns to HBO Max With Four-Minute Disclaimer: Its ‘Nostalgia Denies the Horrors of Slavery’

HBO Max has added 1939 civil war epic Gone With The Wind back to its library after removing the film two weeks ago amid nationwide protests. But if you click on the video now, there’s a four-minute, 26-second disclaimer describing its problematic depiction of slavery.

The platform’s decision to remove the film on June 10 came after an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times by 12 Years A Slave screenwriter John Ridley which called for the film’s removal.

“It doesn’t just ‘fall short’ with regard to representation,” Ridley wrote. “It is a film that glorifies the antebellum south. It is a film that, when it is not ignoring the horrors of slavery, pauses only to perpetuate some of the most painful stereotypes of people of color.”

While HBO did note at the time that the film would eventually return to the streaming service, several notable media personalities like Megyn Kelly and Dave Rubin ranted about the decision in early June. Rubin even said on Fox News that he canceled his HBO account after the decision and some of his family members “aren’t that happy with me.”

The introductory disclaimer attached to the film is told by Jacqueline Stewart, a professor of cinema and film studies at the University of Chicago Stewart, who called the film “one of most enduringly popular films of all time.” But Stewart is quick to note the film largely ignores “the horrors of slavery.”

“The film has been repeatedly protested, dating back the announcement of its production,” Stewart said. “Producer David O. Selznick was well aware that Black audiences were deeply concerned about the film’s handling of the topic of slavery and its treatment of Black characters.”

The film won eight Academy Awards, including best picture in 1939. Hattie McDaniel, who played “Mammy” in the film, became the first Black person to win an Oscar. Because of segregation, McDaniel was not allowed to sit with her fellow cast members during the ceremony.

Stewart also said Gone With The Wind shows “servants notable for their devotion to their white masters or for their ineptitude” while its narrative is “through a lens of nostalgia [that] denies the horrors of slavery, as well as its legacies of racial inequality.”

Legal Eagle’s Devin Stone legit suing the White House, CIA, DOJ and other government agencies

Those who don’t want to watch the video, Devin Stone sent a FOIA ( Freedom of Information Act) requests over the classified and censored continence of John Bolton’s 2020 book The Room Where It Happened with the purpose of that info would effect voter results. The Government refuse to respond to the FOIA request, so Devin Stone along with other lawyers are filing suit to enforce there right to a FOIA response.
