I don't like (no hate here!) the word RACE. It implies that there are winners and losers or that we're competing. I was thinking about this the other day, but now I've written it here I'll stop thinking about it.
Have a great day!
- Chocolate is racist too it implies brown comes in last.moldero
- Giving power to words is the basis of our civilisation. But now words have power over us...grafician
- Why is everyone so focused on words, statues, symbols... sometimes seems like that's all people in USA care about.yuekit
- @yuekit, it's because socialists work in groups, Groups require names and descriptions and subsequently those words are diluted because...Morning_star
- ...each member of those groups projects a slightly different means. eventually there is little nuance left in those words as only the fundamental meaning...Morning_star
- ...remains.
I should have said 'concentrated' instead of 'diluted'Morning_star - It's not just the left though, both sides seem to be consumed with this surface level culture war stuff.yuekit
- it only surface level for a short time. it's driving policy nowGnash
- I think you're right. The problem is, is that this inflexible and intolerant approach to language stops dialogue as any attempt to get tat the issue is...Morning_star
- ...scuppered by arguments about 'offensive'words, syntax and grammar.Morning_star
- When I'm on my bicycle, and I overtake a snails pace bicyclist, I say to myself "You are too slow for the human race". As an amusing play on the word race.shapesalad
- Between the meanings of race as in competition of speed over distance, and race as in species of animal.shapesalad
- Race implies behavioural traits inherent to physical appearance. That's why it's not used in some cultures/languages when referring to the human race.deadsperm
- Race as a speed competition is a totally different word that has no influence into how Americans think of race.deadsperm
- You were trying to be too woke that you ended up lucid dreaming.deadsperm
- Fuck's sake, read a book:

Paul McCowns walked into an Ohio bank clutching his first paycheck from a new job at an electric company. But instead of cashing the check worth about $1,000, the teller called 911.
As he walked out of the Huntington Bank branch in Brooklyn empty-handed, an officer waiting outside handcuffed him and put him in the back of a police cruiser.
"I have a customer here -- he's not our customer, actually. He's trying to cash a check and the check is fraudulent. It does not match our records," a bank employee says on a recording.
- Well, why did he think is gonna happen? You can’t just walk into any old bank with a cheque in your hands.Gnash
- 2020 World: banking apps, fintech apps, debit/credit cards with chip, etc.
2020 America: cheques...grafician - Anyway, if he is not dead yet, he can sue the bank, get a few millions, never use a cheque again in his life...grafician

- yeah but I wouldn't suggest playing him as the man paying the dude who was playing the dude playing the other dude.hotroddy

A Facebook recruiter filed a federal complaint alleging the company is biased against Black employees and job candidates.
A Facebook recruiter and two rejected job applicants filed a complaint Thursday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accusing the company of discriminating against Black workers, as first reported by The Washington Post.
The three workers, all of whom are Black, alleged that Facebook has a pattern of "racial discrimination in hiring, evaluations, promotions, and pay" for Black employees and job applicants.
"There may be Black Lives Matter posters on Facebook's walls, but Black workers don't see that phrase reflecting how they are treated in Facebook's own workplace," the complaint says.
Facebook has faced accusations about racism within its walls previously, including from a Black former executive, anonymous Black employees, and other Black recruiters.
The company is also facing growing pressure from employees, civil rights groups, and more than 500 advertisers to take a stronger stance on moderating hate speech on its platform.
- Yeah, not #BLM material, this is common in all SV companies...grafician

btw the protests are still going strong, even if the media flipped the page on that...
Can't believe I need to remind everybody about this, while living in Europe.
Look at all the Black people lost recently, they could've been your friends, neighbours, all that!
How many Black people on this forum, besides Shellie man?
Check yourselves!

- ...for miles in the USgrafician
- Graf, don’t you have your own problems to deal with? You know with Gypsies? I think you should start the #GLM movement :)_niko
- _niko we do have problems with conservative people and the Church being against LGBT rights, in many Eastern European countries.grafician
- _niko the Roma people or Romany are spread all over Europe, they're just a nomadic ethnic groupgrafician
- _niko there is prejudice against them in many countries due to their nomadic lifestyle, call it inclusivity issues, but not open racism like in the US.grafician
- _niko many of them adapted well to their host country when settling - working, getting homes, having businesses, just like regular local peoplegrafician
- _niko so the "problems" you mention are just common issues with integration of another ethnic group, not deeply systematic hate based on race like in the US.grafician
- _niko hope I cleared that out for you, as there are a lot of common misconceptions about the Roma people, if you have other questions, I'd be happy to replygrafician

Why Black Lives Don't Matter to 'Black Lives Matter'
- https://i.imgur.com/…pango
- Black lives only matter to guilt stricken white folk who don't really know/care about black people other than to pay lip service and look woke on social media_niko
- Wtf niko?monospaced
- @_niko huh?Krassy
- Exactly what Leo is talking about, nobody really cares about the thousands and thousands of black lives lost each year, nor the innocent children lost_niko
- there are countless activists and organizations focused on local issues, people dedicated to improving their community. Systemic racism is an entirely beast...12xu
- Some actual policy reform, nothing about statues, those stories are just for the media clicks
https://twitter.com/…12xu - ^ who dat?pango
- Newsweek has become a sick conservative shill now. Of COURSE people and BLM cares about black lives. WTF niko?monospaced

- Fucking gommer pile cop over there, jeez. Also not sure what an Indian doctor has to do with blm_niko

- a civilian and cop have a mild argument? lol this is so middle of the road. talk about diluting BLM issue with bullshit noise...inteliboy
- getting the gun pulled on him is disgraceful though.inteliboy
- i think pulling the gun too quick is part of the issue isn't it?pango
- The doctors message at the end is pretty important. Scrub if necessary. And fight the good fight.instrmntl

Trump Supporters Deface Black Lives Matter Mural in Martinez CA
“There is no oppression, there is no racism,” the man said, while holding his phone up. “It’s a leftist lie. It’s a lie from the media, the liberal left.”
Someone could be heard in the background asking him, “You can’t be that stupid, can you?”
Meanwhile, the woman continued to paint over the yellow “Black Lives Matter” mural with black paint. At one point, she asked the man to get her another can.
“Keep this s--- in f------ New York. This isn’t happening in my town,” she said.
- why are they so offended by the word black life matter?pango
