Mr. Wookums posted:Maybe do things that prevent murders rather than use them as a statistic to oppress minorities through systematic racism... So instead of forgiving crimes because the criminals are black we should forgive crimes because the criminals are poor? That I can get behind.

When your downplaying consists of "well it isn't like we literally discussed our preference for another holocaust," the inevitable question is "well how close did you get to crossing that particular line there?"

Quote of the day, "Frankly, I was in prison in 2002, and that organization doesn’t ring a bell with me. But I’m not going to second-guess Steve Scalise. He might have had another purpose in going. He might have wanted to change their minds. I’ve been to some very hostile meetings, and in some instances, I changed minds. I’ve been to meetings of the White Citizens Council, which I knew going in was a racists' group, but I wasn’t afraid to talk to them. Frankly, almost everything bad that could be said has been said about me, but nobody's called me a racist. And I think Congressman Scalise is nothing at all like a racist." ~ Edwin Edwards When Edwards ran against Duke in the early nineties he said, "The only thing we have in common is we’re both wizards under the sheets."

Edwards voted for the renewal of the Voting Rights Act in 1970 while in Congress and has a good civil rights record. He had plenty of problems and vices, but racism wasn't one of them. He's enough of an egomaniac that I can honestly see him walking into a white power rally thinking he can turn some minds.

Not having poor parents means you're more likely to get adequate nutrition as a child. Adequate nutrition during childhood makes for healthier brains. The owners of healthier brains do less stupid poo poo. Not getting constantly antagonized or pandered to or spit on also helps quite a fair loving bit.

Quote of the night, “The American people need bold inspiring solutions to reverse the damaging policies of the President and his party. This is not a time for half measures. It’s time for new dynamic leadership in the House of Representatives. Trey Gowdy is my choice for speaker. He has the ability to articulate and implement the changes needed to get the country on the right path.” ~ Sean Hannity

Not happy about the cuban diplomatic relations thing. For a long time, rabid anti-Castro activism was the defining political stance of Cubans in america. This is because those initial waves of immigrants were largely made up of people who had actually suffered at the hands of the Revolution. Oftentimes in loss of property or prestige, sure, but also in lost loved-ones, violence, and degredation. The Castos' Evil Dictator status may be overblown in comparison to some of the people we regularly do business with, but they were Revolutionary leaders and they did murk a whole bunch of folks. It's much how like, if you stumble upon a nest of Rhodesian expats, you will probably find them to be some of the more vehemently anti-black racists you've ever met. Ingrained prejudice compounded with the trauma of Mugabe's purges. Iranian-Americans are known to take a very hard line against the Islamic Republic, too, as so many of them arrived here while fleeing the '79 revolution. Younger Cuban-Americans tend not to care as much unless they are trying to curry favor with their crusty elders. PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Dec 30, 2014 |

Not happy about the cuban diplomatic relations thing. Because many of the Cubans that fled to America after the rise of Castro are vehemently anti-Socialistic. Of course it also follows that being pro-Capitalistic, they had a decent amount of capital and goods accrued that they lost in the shake up.

Not happy about the cuban diplomatic relations thing. Many Cuban-Americans fled or were exiled from Cuba after Castro took power. A lot of people left the island with the assumption that the regime would not last long, and had their property forcibly confiscated after leaving. Others have vowed not to return to the island until Castro and his supporters have been removed from power for the abuses that they inflicted on their people. There was a lot of nasty business that occurred during the Revolution and still occurs today. Many of these politicians see normalizing relations as a betrayal. Ending the embargo was a huge carrot for encouraging democratic reforms and they see Obama as having thrown an opportunity away.

Yeah, my anecdotal experience has been that older Cuban expats are rabidly anti-Castro, while their kids are more concerned about being perceived as better than those other minorities. Maybe I just interacted with a bad contingent, but I've never seen a group in my age range more openly racist against black people and Mexicans than the children of Cuban expats.

If their little work stoppage tantrum actually helps the city then I hope DeBlasio holds a presser announcing he's looking to make the changes in behavior permanent because the reduction in petty police actions would've prevented the death of Eric Garner.
