Directing government funds by race is racist. An extreme evil abhorrent idea.

Yeah of course, it ends in "pay reparations"!!!11! Reparations are evil. The welfare state is a big part of what keeps people down.

You've basically stumbled upon the anti-CRT point that I've been trying to make. Race is not the hinge factor, but demanding that we make it one is a form of racism.

Also, I want to clearly and strongly reject non-law enforced "change in behavior" as being any defense of government removals of freedom. It does not defend such attacks in ANY way whatsoever. While in my other reply I express m

I've certainly heard those accusations, but it doesn't really stand up on its own. The supply chain disruptions of the restrictions around it will impact it all the same, even among of a population that wasn't forced into lo

The bigoted unequal capitalization of racial labels is certainly political, and has spread rapidly since the 2020 BLM riots. However, it predates this current iteration of them. It has existed at least since the Trump election, probably m

I strongly reject the idea that the hinge factor is on race. Whether it's well meaning or ill intentioned, I believe that the continual demand that the focus be on race just creates racism, hate and divide.

It's really not true though. Not only do those institutions not prefer White people, but the only cases of people misrepresenting their race are White people pretending to be some other race. That's because it makes it _more_ li

This article is a perfect example of the modern approach to race. The accusations of "racism" are not real, created from thin air. Which are then used to divide the population and spread hate.

Doing that is a form of bigotry though, just one that unfortunately a lot of less honest but mainstream media outlets have come to demand.

Having an entire population hiding their face on a routine basis when interacting with the public is an enormous downside. Completely unacceptable, and forcing it on the _entire_ population is downright evil.

The more that institutes that are supposed to be the foundation of the expansion of knowledge and exploration of ideas play these kind of partisan word on games, the less they'll be trusted.
