    No, I didn't. I just said it is the context. So Take it up with WEB Du Bois, because there was a lot of that going around in those days.  Was he mostly trying to abort blacks through his involvement with the birth control movement? Context matters.

    WEB Du Bois advocated class-based eugenics like Margaret Sanger?

    I'm not defending or excusing eugenics

    You just did, by attempting to dismiss criticism with a hand wave and a contemporary context argument.

    Race is intertwined with just about every aspect of American society and politics.  Some of those intersections get amplified focus and are currently subject to an overdue critical eye, others...well...you the man now, dog.

    Damn Annie, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

    Shit man.  This is just me having a laugh with you chuckle fucks before I make brunch for the kids (Sanger-approved offspring the result of superior human vitality, imo).

    You still have to admit that the idea that evangelicals were once neutral if not supportive of abortion seems wholly antithetical to anything most of us have grown up with.

    Politics around abortion in this country is an interesting story arc. Read a bit on Sanger and her beliefs.

    Fair, but I guess my point is that TEA and educators generally are being pressured to reopen schools and have exactly zero guidance for COVID mitigation from Dept of Ed. or any other relevant bodies aside from "reopen or else"

    I don’t know what guidance they are getting from doe or not. I just know that fall is going to be a clusterfuck based on the “guidance” TEA and the gov are giving districts.

    I see it.  I can understand the criticism.  I don't agree with many pardons or acts of clemency from the entirety of the PotUS office throughout the years.  I'd be ok with all of it going away.  It currently is within the purview of the office to grant either/or .

    The power has been abused by almost every recent administration, but this is a uniquely egregious abuse. And we should not do away with the power.
