  1. Did you get around to reading the Ta-Nehisi Coates essay, @DixonHur?
  2. I got called by Gallup for the first time ever, and it even came up as Gallup on my caller ID (which is the only reason I answered). So I guess I'm officially an old now. I was asked so many questions on so many different topics. The whole process was about twenty minutes (which they didn't tell me before we got started), so I imagine they even lose a good number of people that do agree to be polled just because they get bored/tired of engaging. And the questions are also often frustratingly binary/discrete.
  3. Wee-ow.
  4. Well, it improves the lives of those less fortunate, so..
  5. Then state your arguments again for us all, clearly. Or copy paste them from an old post. Just say something
  6. Who were white. The fact that your ethnicity may not have been included as white during the founding also doesn't seem that relevant to me
  7. "under the auspices" doesn't mean "solely"
  8. Whether or not racism/slavery/white supremacy was going on in the UK is irrelevant to America's founding being tainted by that poison.
  9. It's like you...woke up or something. 😮
  10. Something is better than nothing. Perfection is the enemy of the good. All those tropes.
  11. I found a second wind
  12. lmao fuck off you troll. I'm too lazy right now to even neg you
  13. Cloak Room is so fuckin' mean i stg 😭
  14. Honestly, if you actually read and process the whole of Ta-Nehisi Coates' essay and are still against reparations for slavery, you need to do some soul-searching. It doesn't make you a racist necessarily, but there are some parts of you that need to be laundered and aired out.
  15. They already did it to the Batwoman movie (RIP!)
  16. Or a tax credit, like has been mentioned plenty of times. Jfc, I was making the point that there has been a case already in America where the amount was "enough." And not Incredulity's bitch-made conservative whining about government spending
  17. Remember how, after 1993 when we sent reparation cheques to every Japanese American who was interned in concentration camps during WWII, we kept sending them cheque after cheque after cheque because "the answer to this is always, more?" I 'member.
  18. Nothing noble about it. Contributing to his metrics makes me feel icky, so I don't do it. I certainly don't consider anyone who has an account on twitter still to be a Nazi sympathizer, but it's not for me.
  19. If you didn't read it when it was first published, start here: The Case for Reparations I don't have a subscription to the Atlantic anymore, but 12ft.io works for this link. It is worth your time. ETA: fuck me it's almost the tenth anniversary of this
  20. What a bitch lmao
