You can blank post if you just use some of the mark-up characters. I go with [ size=10][/size]
But that's literally what they're doing. They've been defanging the Voting Rights Act so they can suppress the votes of black people. Check out Shelby County v. Holder:
Then there's the fact that a law was passed in Florida to restore voting rights to felons. But then they made it conditional on them paying off any fines from their sentence and made it impossible to find out whether they owed anything or how much:
My post was really about how that’s a desirable thing to certain people.
What do you mean?
Hubers game was that white people have too much of the vote so race mixing in order to promote democracy
a lot of white people/a lot of republicans would just be like, ‘yes, that’s true (and also that’s desirable)’
Eh, not so sure. But maybe you're right. Huber was being a bit sarcastic though
he was.. at least that was my take
but the point was like
flipping a game like that onto people who, erm, tend to be racist, doesn't really accomplish much lol
Oh wait, lmao, I get your point now. I thought "also that's desirable" meant that they wanted race mixing to have more mixed people voting for them. Now I think you're saying they'd find that desirable because it widens the scope of those that they can exclude. Is that right?
yes, i apologize...
appealing to white republicans about white people holding too much power because there's more white people than others will not make them reconsider the validity of their argument, it will just make them say, 'yes, white people having more say is the way it should be.'
obviously i'm generalizing a lot with regards to racist white republicans but let's be real here. there's a FUCK TON of them.
(and for the record there's a fuckton of racist white democrats. there's just a lot of racist white people in general. in fact, there's a lot of racist people in general but SINCE there's a majority of white people in america, the majority of racist people in america happen to be white. hence my generalizations about white republicans; me, attempting to be more thorough.)
hey i have a question about the semicolon (and i'm feeling lazy)
is there an order of which sentence relies on which, sort of like an order of operations in math, or is it just that (atleast) one of the two grammatically relies on the other.
oh i guess i'm also appealing to the insom crowd, and should clarify that.
there's only racist white people in america - but for the racist white people in america who don't see the systemic issue of racism, that post was for you.
Excuse me, if ur gonna take a vow of faith then please make it an Episcopalian one
We know they want that. It is the other side of the "they want immigrants because they vote for democrats" coin. But they can't say it out loud, or they need to lie to themselves that it isn't like that, so saying it in an argument can put them in a tough spot.
Anyone who tells you there are actual rules for semicolons is a liar.
Joe Biden lol. He's the one that made it publicly acceptable for Dems to oppose bussing. Then the crime bill...
Are they led by a dude who seems like he could be Kropotkin's religious younger brother?
Colons too. I get shit all the time for using colons to break up two independent clauses, but it's pretty fucking valid for that when the clause following the colon explains the clause preceding it
I think that is ugly as hell but yeah eventually you realize that punctuation rules beyond a few core things is just fashion for turbo nerds
