  • The group I volunteer for is trying to solve the problem you’re talking about, educating people on stuff that happens South of the border and everything that most Americans haven’t heard about. We’re really well informed and keep up to date, but it’s hard to know every name of every person the government has been murdering, because frankly, that’s a lot of info. Not even just emotionally, it’s just too much to grasp. It’s too much to report on, and even if there was a news segment over every one of them, it would be a constant drone that eventually you wouldn’t hear anymore.

    Because of this though I’ve seen a lot of conservatives trying to pull a “gotcha” and say “well you didn’t care about these people so obviously you’re fake!”

    Idk. Just thought it might be better to like, encourage people to learn more than shaming them for ignorance.

    Thanks for the condolences on my cat, keep checking their kidneys when they are older.


  • Sorry man, you’ve been lied to. Those are the things bigots say to make white people scared and it’s just not a thing that happens. Even if it did, you believe cream naturally rises and it’s inevitable for it to do so, so why worry about it?

    I don’t think you have a problem with diversity, equity and inclusion, because you just described a problem DEI policies solve. If someone is passing over someone else because they aren’t a minority, that’s not DEI. DEI is for people who are in a majority, too, it’s just bringing more voices to the table. So yeah, competence, excellence and qualifications aren’t part of that acronym, because that’s assumed and baked into the cake.

    So you care about people being qualified for their job. What do you think people should do about things like, hiring unqualified white people over qualified black people, for example?







  • Ok I don’t think that is fair to be mad at people who didn’t get mad about something they haven’t heard about. Like, my cat died a month ago, and you didn’t say anything, fuck you.

    I’m sure some people didn’t care because fuck brown people or whatever, but I think most people care now because they are actually hearing about it, maybe for the first time.





  • Yeah, I’m saying it is.

    What I’m also saying is that the government and mainstream media have lied to you about people trying to fix it.

    All that affirmative action, DEI stuff? If you actually look at it, and look how it’s been used and the effects it’s had, it’s not been what they say it is.

    It’s not letting some unqualified person get a job, it’s making sure the qualified person gets the job without the old bigotry getting in the way of a college application or a new job, for any race, even white people.

    But there’s people who do everything they can to talk shit about the law, because they benefit from talking shit about it and people benefit from being able to discriminate.

    They get the clicks, the views, and the donations just by saying “oooo that DEI is bad, gonna put a black lesbian in charge of a surgery” because there’s people who are racist assholes who love to hate stuff like that and could never imagine a black lesbian actually being a qualified surgeon, and then there’s not racist people who just want everyone to get a fair chance at competition and think that it’s getting in the way of that.

    And then some Democrats lump the two together, pushing the more reasonable people in with the bigots, to the point that if anyone has any concerns with affirmative action gets yelled at.
