And your homophobia and defense of Mike Pence despite his public support of homophobia is abhorrent. It appears we are at an impasse.

What do you think those institutions are? Do you really believe that gay kids can be converted into being straight? Here's some more reading about Mike Pence and human rights: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/20

Let me clarify. Jeff Sessions and Steve Bannon are capital R Racists. And now they are in positions of power. People are scared because these people are threatening. If you aren't scared, maybe you should talk to the people who are now

No, but this new president is appointing a series of people with white nationalist leanings to a variety of posts within the government that do hold a lot of power. It is perfectly reasonable to be in fear right now. Action is always better

Solidworks frustrates me because, as you describe, it is very easy to jump into and get moving, but once you start needing more advanced modelling or more intense surfacing, solidworks becomes an unwieldy beast of secret features and unintu

Today the last bit of magic on the internet died. What.CD represented the true potential of the world wide web. It was a community of variety and love that came together to share and grow. Data was completely decentralized and the organizat

Fair, but there is a lot of institutional racism in the art world and academia, so progress on these counts is extremely slow moving. Also, some would argue that as a result of how history is written, that it is important to have black owne

This opinion is extremely naive and ignorant. White people controlled history through imperialism and colonialism for centuries, and the histories were all written by white people. Of course all the other museums feature white people only,

And I just don't think you have read up or understand the vastness of privilige and power structures in the country that perpetuate racism every day. Just because black people can be racist doesn't mean they have the institutional

The current axiom is that yes, anybody can have prejudiced views about anybody else. Sure, and it's perfectly fine and normal to feel hurt when you are getting the hit from it. But the way progressives talk about racism today is that r

A black president does not absolve the racist elements of America. Full stop. Do you think having a black president suddenly stops racist governors, judges, or prosecutors from existing?

These are all true, and I'm not a liberal so I'm cool with this. There are things I don't like, such as your complaint about Twitter overstepping it's bounds. Hell, I'll even do you one better. Liberals love pipelin

You are still correct, yes. Im not disputing that these hate groups exist. But being racist against white people doesn't really mean much when they still hold all of the institutional power. It's perfectly valid to feel threatened

The nation of Islam is a horribly depressing group also standing on a platform kf misogyny and anti semitism. They are an extremist group that luckily has been waning in recent years. Also, unlike white people, they have never held a monopo

How can you be racist against the ruling, privileged class? Sure, white people can have it bad too, but we still have all the privilige and automatic perks. It isn't bigotry as much as self defense against how many white people are sti

This is clearly a satirical response to the type of logic used by white supremacists to bolster a concept of genetic superiority over other ethnicities. Imagine just for a moment being black and hearing the inverse of this statement every d

The comments here are extremely disheartening. It appears that the HN community values hate speech and harassment over "free speech" on a privately owned platform. I applaud Twitter for making itself a safer space for marginalized

My tone may have been blunt but I will stand firmly behind that America's race and gender relations, despite great progress in the last few decades, leaves much to be desired and in most parts of the country it is dangerous to be a par

What do you mean by that? Looks like very in-theme 80s American ID work. The materials, textures, and forms all speak a pretty clear lineage of western design at the time. This work was done by Frog, a well respected design consultancy and
