Wasn't Obama criticized for his pitching motion when he threw out the first pitch at a game soon after he got into office? Baseball's not a safe recreational choice either.

The RNC is mad. Mad 'bout the AP US History curriculum. They have passed the following resolution:quote:WHEREAS, Almost 500,000 U.S. students take the College Board’s Advanced Placement U. S. History (APUSH) course each year which has traditionally been designed to present a balanced view of American history and to prepare students for college level-history courses; And they're right! Here's the 2014-2015 APUSH Framework. Let's look at the section on the Civil Rights movement. quote:Following World War II, civil rights activists utilized a variety of strategies — legal challenges, direct action, and nonviolent protest tactics — to combat racial discrimination. Hmm, I don't see Rosa Parks or MLK in that list, so obviously they will never be discussed in a unit on this topic, as they are not relevant. I'm not going to bother quoting it, but there's a whole section on page 33 about the religious and ideological influences of the founders on the formation of republican government in the new nation that addresses the RNC's complaint about that time period.

Also from a cultural geography perspective if you make a straight line you go from Ferguson (2/3 black, blue collar) through places like Cool Valley (4/5 black, blue collar), Pagedale (9/10 black, poverty) and Wellston (9/10 black, dodge bullets). So you know, you're welcome to take that stroll or whatever.

Evil Sagan posted:Yeah, what the hell? Ten miles is a quick drive to the grocery store because you ran out of milk. You haven't been to St. Louis. Please, at least take the consideration to read about how and why there is no grid system in the city. It is thoroughly engineered to segregate white and black neighborhoods. Its divided by ethnicity, race, and class. When the cops say 'Go Home,' what they mean is 'Know Your Place.' And no, its not possible to walk to Clayton from Ferguson through a safe path and in a reasonable time frame. I've tried. My old hobby when I lived in StL was to go walking around to view the architecture and understand the real situation of life in the city. After all, if you live in a city, its your responsibility to know the conditions your neighbors live under if you don't want riots.

Perhaps, you haven't lived in an area that was actively wanting to restrict your movement and willing to enforce that desire through institutional policy. Poor, black walking south of Delmar? WashU police gonna give you a talking for an hour. And then a half mile away, the next patrol will do the same, possibly with the decency to offer you a ride home.
