There is so much awful poo poo we chose to ignore, even if we support national things like BLM. Dems seem reactionary instead of proactive about racial issues. who said they were the only racists? But a party who's platform consists of national Stop and Frisk. who votes Donald Trump to be there representative, and does everything in their power to disenfranchise black voters does not deserve the benefit of the doubt from my black rear end.

Seriously, that was the reason. Good. Any sane company that buys twitter would have to setup filtering systems or hired thousands of people to clean out the festering racism and it'd kill the platform because "free speech" and all.

Sharkopath posted:It sounds incredibly awful because of how truncated it is and how dumb the surrounding answers are but you could expand that into a somewhat truthful statement. Yeah, C is the answer here; while it's not complete and elides the choices that were made to take the budding colonies down the road of chattel slavery, it's also the most correct option, as labor shortages were a major factor contributing to those choices. Slavery as the defining institution of the southern and Caribbean colonies wasn't exactly inevitable, though the colonial societies had few viable alternatives if they sought to extract the maximum wealth possible from the territory (they did) and were unwilling to support a large working class (they were). Interestingly, you can watch as the pyramidal social hierarchy of the English in particular gets transplanted wholesale to the colonies and then collapses immediately, because no poo poo you can't support a huge top heavy hierarchy descended from feudalism when you're subsisting on wild boar and corn the locals are selling you while shooting you worried looks. Then, over the course of about fifty to a hundred years, they build it back up, and when their reconstructed social pyramid, now with the planter gentry on top instead of the landed nobility, requires a huge impoverished base of workers tied to the land? Well lookie here, a Portuguese ship full of these handy dark-skinned folks... If you're interested to read more about this, I'd recommend Foul Means: The Formation of a Slave Society in Virginia, 1660-1740 by Anthony Parent. It's an argument against the previously accepted view embodied by that dumb test question, which asserts that nobody deliberately set up slavery, it was a response to labor conditions! While Parent acknowledges that as a factor, he argues that the codification of racial chattel slavery in Virginia was in fact a deliberate series of choices made over the course of about fifty years by the planter class as a means of solidifying their power. It's a good, if very depressing, read.

I think that is true (and so does, I'm betting, a majority of the board) but you have to admit that the Democrats have not had much of a change to enact any sort of legislative agenda, and even when they did have control of congress the wind was blowing against them and against progressive policies.

From a way back but when I do voter registration in Colorado I'm making the numbers for several people all by myself. My town is a place immigrants buy homes so we have a metric ton of California transplants who haven't switched their registration to Colorado yet. Folks in other places get maybe two registrations in three hours. I can get 6 an hour.

Please, let the Trump campaign's emails get hacked and released. I don't know if they would hold any revelations, but they would at least have a treasure trove of racist jokes. I want to see the RNC's emails from during Trump's primary run, too.

It's in the article: quote:reinstating the five-year ban on all executive branch officials who lobby the government after they leave service; instituting a five-year lobbying ban for former members of Congress and their staff; expanding the definition of a lobbyist to close loopholes; issuing a lifetime ban for senior executive branch officials against lobbying for foreign governments; and asking Congress to pass campaign finance reform that prevents foreign lobbyists from influencing American elections through fundraising.
