Just in case you didn't know this. Which you probably don't, cause it's not reported to you.

Yes, whitefailure. During wars, martial law takes over. 20% of that country is occupied. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. The election of 1864 was only held in areas that had been freed. I’m sure you think he’s a dictator too. Let’s jot even get into your thoughts about the legality of Emancipation Proclamation.

I also don’t understand the point about Russia and China and war and suspending our constitution, but then I also didn’t understand why our director of national intelligence was talking to me outside some random house with a cell phone about an issue not actually about what her work covers.

Sure, I'm going to believe a post from Musk.

Oh joy. BJ's back and better than ever.

Sure, and I hang on Robert Third Reich's every word.

(That's Tulsi Gabbard, by the way. She used to belong to your failed political party. Got more support than Kamala did, if I remember correctly.)

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch says, "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what."

The problem with you and people like you is that you yearn to live in the time Atticus lived in so you would have a noble cause to attach yourself to. Don't be comparing yourself to an idolized fictional character. You have no such convictions or courage. You are a useful idiot.

The world of racism that Finch lived in is long gone. I, and most rational people, live in a world where the color of a person's skin doesn't mean a damn thing. The people that complain of racism today are exactly the ones who won't let it go, either for the reason I described above or because they profit from it.

Pointing fingers and yelling 'racism' ain't gonna work for you anymore. The majority of Americans see you for what you are.

No. I actually don't. I only hear about it from those like you who want to virtue signal and from those who profit from it monetarily or politically. Not from anyone I actually encounter in real life. Whatever their skin color is. Those of us who are "white" must be failing at it. You are horribly misinformed.

Just because there are fewer lynchings doesn't mean there's no racism.

Who said there was no racism? Racism of your kind, openly supported by the democrat party, has increased exponentially in the past 20 years or so. Obama created and energized the type of racism that is rampant these days. Open your eyes.

Are you blaming the victims? You do know that Trump's anti-DEI attacks are just racism. Right?

DEI is racism (and communism) in its purest form. The epitome of judging people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.
Why did you ever abandon MLK?

DEI is about accepting people, not judging them.

Fifty years ago, I took the LSAT. It's not a trivia quiz; it's a test of logical thinking. I scored 717 out of 800.

LOL. I am so impressed. :roll:
Intelligence is no measure of wisdom. As you demonstrate time and time again. If we take you at your word that you have a degree of intelligence, which is debatable based on what you post here.

Speaking logically, DEI requires one to judge, regardless of one's merit, one's job/promotional placement in some arbitrary hierarchy, based on sex, gender ID, skin color, disability, religious beliefs and whatall.

It's yet another idea that, while it has merit in theory, has been bastardized in practice.

I was thinking, is JD Vance a kind of DEI hire?

Those Ivy League schools probably thought they were being so swell, bringing in a hick who served in the military.

He just said that the British have done nothing militarily in decades. That would be news to the British soldiers who served alongside our soldiers in the war against terror. A little offensive, actually. I think they had something like 700 fatalities, and it wasn’t even their fight.

A smart person might have reviewed that stuff before saying things, but I don’t really think he’s that smart. I think he was probably a DEI hire.

Certainly for very important jobs
