I want to apologize [mention=2292]Pancho[/mention], for making it personal.  We don't have to agree politically but I should not have made it personal. We can just agree to disagree and move on. I don't want people to think we as black men can't have civil conversations. I don't want people to think that we as men can't have disagreements. I can and should have done better. 
We can and do have them all the time. My conversations with you are no different than the ones I had with family. But that was family and private.  So if for some crazy ass reason, you called me for a ride, I would come get you. I'm gonna talk shit, but I'm coming.  I shouldn't have taken it to that level. And for that, I apologize.  And I'm fine if you don't accept my apology. It's all good. I wish you nothing but the best going forward., champ.
 
 My oldest is hosting a campout and they are arguing about trivial kid shit.  So as I am trying to give him/them advice, I need to listen to my own words.
 
Now with that being said, all you lap dogs, who are quoting me or responding to some shit from 2-3 days ago, GO FUCK YOURSELVES. I said what I said and your flip-flopping (you know who you are) is not going to change my mind or matter to me. And I would expect the same from you if it was me doing it. So don't waste your time but more importantly, don't waste my time. Be like [mention=140]mdmost[/mention] or [mention=1259]Bozo_Casanova[/mention] ignore it and/or move the fuck on. 
 
Ron DeSantis 2024. That's for you [mention=550]PenelopeWitherspoon[/mention]

He claims to be 6'1" apparently. But if you look at pictures of him in his boots standing next to Biden, he's still shorter than Biden's 6'0" -ish. He's probably 5'10" w/o shoes?

Who on earth is 6'1" on a Little Italian White Man Who Just Saw Rocky DeSantis thread?

It's painfully awkward. There's no Elvis in him at all. Smelling his finger, the white boots, pudding, wiping snot and shaking hands. Then he actually opens his mouth and the sounds that come out are annoying. THIS is the best they can do against that lying sack of shit?

His favorables may have peaked.

I don't even think Trump has gotten really warmed up in terms of destroying him - he's had a lot of other stuff on his plate.

I could see Trump mocking his boots if they ever actually debated (they won't).

trump will come at him, but more importantly maga will never support desantis 

[Red Five 40853]

His voice sounds like a satirized version of his voice already. Like the overemphasized SNL skit version, but that's how he really sounds. 

I can imagine Trump saying something in the first debate (if there are any) like "awww listen to that little guy's voice. How cute is that" and ending his campaign in that moment. 

[cactusflinthead 27598]

 

[Neonmoon 38129]

That's not what you want to hear in descriptions of your campaign in the restaurants of NH.

DeSantis sounds like he is 100% trying to hide the fact that he dreams of dicks.

I would caution us not to misapply the charge of racism to every position we don’t like. It will become as meaningless as the term, woke. It might be helpful when having difficult but crucial conversations about race/racism to seek common ground on a generally accepted definition racism.

[Bama Chick 28596]

It’s fairly hard to be truly influential on an advisory committee.  Course loads are maxed out, what to trade for what else, etc?  The real lingua franca is, of course, money.  Luckily, my employer let me bring it by the bushel.  So one can influence by funding labs or partnering in research, but the philosophy of the dept/school/college is not really up for debate.  Because we were all satisfied with said philosophy, for one thing.  But mainly the dept chairs and deans held that subject ferociously close.  I imagine a river of faculty exits would occur by the time we get to establishing phrenology programs.  Yet we have an associated school that is little more than that, right now.  
 
I wouldn’t think holding the money back would count against the pols.  If UT destruction is their aim, defunding works for them, too.

Excellent thread on the slow strangulation of UT.

I tried “SNL duh gif” and it came up. I also learned that the character’s name is Cathy Anne and it’s played by Cecily Strong. I’m not familiar with it because I haven’t watched SNL in ages. It stopped being funny years ago. But I figured, that’s from SNL, she’s going “duh,” and it’s a gif, so I thought it was pretty easy to piece together.

When someone bans the teaching of African-American studies in schools and tries to whitewash American history when it comes to the treatment of slaves and of black people post-emancipation, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to label them as racists. They’re certainly racist policies. When someone asks why you don’t denounce the neo-Nazis who support you and you respond by attacking the media, you might be a little racist. And when you’re trying to ban books and companies and people because they don’t conform to your ideology, that makes you a fascist. You know who else thinks so? Other fascists.
