Which makes the fact that Bernie won the Arab vote really weird. Anyway, this construction of either/or relies on the assumption that there is that limited resource determining governance which is, on its face, ridiculous.

I won't speak for black people, but I can't imagine that isn't the case. I know I'm terrified of the police and I'm half as likely to be murdered by them as gfsincere is. Instant Sunrise posted:plus is sounds a lot like leftists being dismissive of issues of race, gender, or sexual orientation because it's ~*identity politics*~ Absolutely. Sadly.  A Fancy 400 lbs posted:I don't really think you can solve the class problem without solving racism, sexism, etc first. They're intertwined, but that doesn't mean solving one will have the others fall into place. It just means race, sex, etc will become the de facto replacements for class. I don't strictly agree with this, if only because -isms are people's opinion and culture. You can write a bill to disallow discrimination, but it takes time to change how people think. Economics is a more cut and dry matter of policy. I think it's a matter of, that we need to always be emphasizing the issues of social inequality as well as economic inequality, and doing what we can with policy, or art for that matter. But -isms will probably take longer, because you have to change people, not merely policy. I don't disagree that you must fix -isms to fix class inequality and vice versa, however.

2:42 AM - Mr. Blue reports that the Night Guard was startled by the abnormally loud sound of motorcycle engines engaged at high speed coming from within Mr. Guests room. An immediate investigation of the source of the noise turned up no motorcycles or any other vehicles within Mr. Guest's room.

I like that you could just replace Assange with Biden and Embassy with White House and it still works.

You could make every black person in America wealthy and they would still be hated in a unique and insidious manner by white people that is independent of their socioeconomic status. You can change that with education and policy over time, but it's not as simple as flipping a switch and nobody is racist anymore.

Hello followers! TransparencyAvenger1488 here with an update on my situation! So, certain chucklefucks, who shall remain nameless, tell me I have to keep it down while I'm doing my twitch streams now, because my screaming is, quote, "disrupting official business," unquote. And I just want to say, here we see another subtle element of the perfidious globalist conspiracy to... oh son of a bitch, Green I told you that I'm not to be disturbed between the hours of... what? Where's it from? Colorado? gently caress, I paid a lot of money for that bong you asswipe!

He's using his influence to advance a position he thinks merits inclusion in the conversation. I don't know how much more you need to introduce social issues in the national conversation among democrats: everyone seems to agree that they are big problems and something that needs fixed.

5:27 PM - Mr. Guest, having been informed that he is not allowed to play his harmonica during the embassy's opening hours, waited for the Night Guard to lock the front doors, at which point he immediately started playing the German National Anthem on his harmonica while goose stepping from one end of the room to the other. He has maintained steady eye contact with the Night Guard and does not appear to be tiring.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...omepage%2Fstory Terrence M. Cunningham, the chief of police in Wellesley, Mass and The President of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, America’s largest police organization. Issued a formal apology to the nation’s minority population “for the actions of the past and the role that our profession has played in society’s historical mistreatment of communities of color.” quote:“Events over the past several years,” Cunningham said, “have caused many to question the actions of our officers and has tragically undermined the trust that the public must and should have in their police departments…The history of the law enforcement profession is replete with examples of bravery, self-sacrifice, and service to the community. At its core, policing is a noble profession.”

Oddly from my perspective the democrats are far more concerned with social issues than economic ones, because both parties are parties of money. Coming from a country which has had an actual labour movement within living memory, America under the democrats spends far more effort on social issues than it does on economic ones.
