The grippy sock hotel is pretty nice though

Contractually obligated dignity and respect is where it’s at. That email probably triggered half a dozen grievances the moment it was sent

This is the true wisdom of the post

No ill will to any of them. ❤️

You’re correct. In my area, we call them rafters

These dumb ideas never come out of nowhere, usually it’s because they forgot the KISS principle

Wait, are they building the rafters on the frame?

Look, I wasn’t asking to be attacked like this

Thanks, I lost track

Until they redefine whiteness to exclude anyone from Africa.

I’m at a loss for words. I just gave you a literal example of CRT that you agree with, but you’re still going on about how it isn’t relevant and “backwards”. The laws have to dismantle the biases built into the system before we can safely remove DEI programs without risk of unfair exclusion. I also want a world where it’s no longer necessary. We have to build it first.

Racism is an intersection of power structures, historical injustice, and poverty. Truth be told, that’s the recipe for all systemic injustice. The US was built for white men; the native Americans were being genocided, women were domestic slaves, and black people were chattel. Because the US reneged on reparations for ex-slaves after the civil war, a vast majority of black Americans entered the society in abject poverty. Because women, slaves, and native Americans had to be totally disenfranchised to be subjugated, laws were made to ensure disenfranchisement was long lasting. The rest of society continued to build up around these discriminatory laws, which could inflict more harm onto the group. A lot of these laws were even color blind; red zoning was on the basis of poverty.

But remember how I said former slaves were in abject poverty? Well, generational wealth plays a part here too. Wealth from family is far more important than we want to admit in this country. Some black people were able to become moderately wealthy, but that’s not everyone or even most people. Most remained in poverty after 1 generation from slavery. When red zoning excluded poverty-stricken areas, they excluded most black people.

But that’s not the end of the story. Now, we’ve understood how red zoning is harmful and repealed those laws. But segregated neighborhoods are even more segregated than before! Why? Well the racist history of enforced poverty makes it hard to build local wealth in those areas, our government has made it exceedingly hard to escape poverty, and poverty is worsening due to wealth accumulation by billionaires.

CRT is the analysis of racism within systems of power. Being anti-discrimination and anti-crt are wholly contradictory, because racism is about power. It’s like being anti-cancer and anti-radiation therapy.

I see someone has been involuntarily forced to watch too much paw patrol

You’re asking if a collision occurring is related to firing thousands of people whose job it is to regulate air traffic. No guarantees, but the chances are very high.

Not reciprocating puts you on the naughty list

It probably wouldn’t take much to get Omar and Tlaib on board either.

I wonder how many gated communities they chose to collect the data from before declaring it’s a universal feeling
