I would assume if you hate politicians you would be actively working to get the shat bags out. My guess is that you biatch about all of them. But continue to vote for the liars who represent you. It's what most Americans do. Hope I am wrong. But stats say I am not. It's the old "Congress sucks but my guy is ok" mentality.

I vote for the person who is closest to what I think needs to be done, even though I dislike the person. That also varies on parties from election to election. Sometimes it is taking the lesser of what is considered two evils. No I am not sitting back and doing nothing about it. Working with some folks on ways to get term limits and line item veto on a national ballot. That is the only way it will change. The politicians will not willingly give up their gravy train. It is a very difficult process but maybe one day it will happen.

Pretty sure it's been signed into law that crt can't be taught in this state.

It has but that won't stop them from continuing to push crt

Despite growing opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT) being implemented in public schools, the National Education Association (NEA) not only adopted a resolution to prioritize their effort to implement CRT in “K-12 and higher education,” it vowed to use all resources at their disposal–including friendly media—to go after those who are “attacking educators doing anti-racist work.” In response, Quisha King—a Florida mother who gained notoriety when she blasted the Duval County school board in strong opposition of CRT—says “bring it on.”

“We are coming out of the worst year on record for modern education and you would think the NEA would focus on reading and writing and math instead of trying to divide us by our skin color,” Tina Descovich, co-founder of Moms For Liberty told The Epoch Times.

I want to know how many engineering students common core math creates? I'm not certain, but I think they teach that close is good enough in common core.

Lol you think this makes a point and I bet you had so much confidence in it.

Today, the disabled people in this hypothetical hotel are ushered to the front and the new owners have arranged and renovated the hotel to accommodate disabled people(affirmative action) for decades but the disabled people want to point to the stairs while ignoring the ramps, elevators, accessible showers, etc. While claiming the stairs are constant reminders of the past and that those stairs represent something they do not in the present day setting. The analogy is dumb af.

The notion that no accommodations have yet to be made is asinine and a point of privilege and desired supremacy rather than oppression

To think that, you would have to believe that there are no constructs today that exist because there was racism in the past, and that would be completely asinine.

In your analogy the current owners deliberately and knowingly purchased the hotel even though it was designed and built to discriminate. Unless you are an immigrant that came here as an adult your analogy is asinine. If the analogy were about a few generations removed from the original builder that inherited the hotel it would be more apt.

Do you not understand that the analogy is explaining stuff like the war on drugs? For example, like how crack is punished more harshly than cocaine. The guys carrying out those rules today probably aren't doing it for racial reasons, but the guys who made those rules 50 years ago partially did that because they were influenced by racial attitudes. That's what the analogy is saying.

Again, they inherited the rules they are enforcing. They didn't buy them so the analogy is asinine.

I have problems with any enforcement, people should be able to walk into the local liquor store and pick up a rock or a (however cocaine is sold).

I'm on board with natural drugs(DMT, Shrooms, weed, etc). I draw the line at synthetics: Meth, crack, etc.
