Joe Biden's Presidency

[dbroncos78087]

Saw where the Minnesota Public School TEACHER'S UNION actually has put out a policy to lay off white teachers before any others in their schools if and when lay-offs are necessary? Amazing display how racism is being executed by the left in this country. I would love to hear from the hand puppets on the left here, how fair that policy is as well as if they think that this will pass the court challenges that will occur.

I like how you ignore the part about the non-white people being under represented. That racism is built into the system and you're fine with it.

Its obvious. There are people in the world who make their station in life trying to divide people and encourage heated conflict. I've lived a long time and seen a lot, including racism. The news media is greatly responsible for this constant barrage of racism accusations. I think that basically people are not inherently racist and do not make decisions based on the notion that one person is bad because of the color of their skin. However, that is no money for the media so they trot out racism charges to rile people up and say or do stupid mean things.

Racism is far older than the media.

The right: can you believe schools would fire white teachers.
Me: can you believe Texas schools won’t teach Anne Frank anymore?

That’s a tad unfair. They’d be firing white teachers first. Regardless of seniority. Because they’re white. The system is most assuredly biased…but trying to fix racism with more racism is poor form.

Don’t get me wrong though, book burning is also appalling.

Sure it is. But the media is EVERYWHERE and overwhelms everything. my point is that when the media isn't fair and balanced and is instead intentionally lying and/or slanting its message to attack certain segments of the population it can and does overwhelms fairness and truth. How can an individual even begin to deal with the propaganda facing him?

Part of this media overload is simply videos of racism captured by people on their phones. It's not that there wasn't racism before, it's that before we didn't have phones to capture the sheer volume of everyday racism prevalent in this country. Now we are seeing a glimpse of it firsthand, but minorities have seen it the entire time.

If the media you consume is urging you towards hatred for people based on insignificant dross, perhaps you should consider the source and move on.

Unfortunately, most folks are ignorant sheep and don’t consider the source.

Media exacerbates, no question…but people need to be responsible for their own ****.

To what degree is there over-emphasis on the negative?

I'm told the south is super racist, and steeped in systemic racism, yet more black people than ever are moving out of the Blue States in the North and West back to the south.

Were seeing a reversing of the great migration in real time.

Bernie, you voted for it.

There is an under emphasis on the negative if anything. When black people spoke up about the very real negative racism they were experiencing all you and your ilk could talk about were the protests and sporadic violence. You literally ignored the actual issue they were protesting for.

As for them moving back to the south, they’re moving to large, Democratic, metro areas with large African American populations. They are not moving to the rural, super racist areas, and they are actively trying to overturn the systemic racism.

Bernie, you voted for it.

Because it was the only way to get something progressive passed. What? He is not going to vote for the bill because of the pork? He wouldn't vote on any bills in Congress if that was so.

Why not go after the politicians who insist this be in the package? Too many republicans in that bunch to do that, huh?

This is true but I will say Congress could have added conditions to the bill in respect to how much money certain companies receive. That the amount of money they received would be based on how many employees they added or at the very least not laying off or outsourcing existing ones (which Intel could still do).

That said, shame on Intel. Nothing new though. This happens all the time where the primary concern of bigger business is not the employees but the dividends that goes to shareholders. Nice infusion of government money should do well for the stock price too.

Then put restrictions in it, or don't vote for it. Or at the very least don't ***** about it after the fact. Like you knew this would happen.

We're going to get like 5k jobs for 50+ Billion.

Did they? What does it say about companies that it was consensus knowledge they'd screw everyone over and what does it say about where your anger is directed?
