Giving politicians the benefit of the doubt when their policies have horrible results is really stupid. Like when the SCOTUS thread got derailed for a while since even though Republicans have gone of record they want to get rid of abortion, people in the medical community have said their recent "mother protection" policies are unnecessary and illogical, and the bills have resulted in abortion clinics closing due to be unable to meet these regulations that other clinics don't have to worry about we can't know FOR SURE that they are trying to make abortion illegal. It also ties into how it's literally impossible to be racist since we don't have a wizard that can look into people's true hearts and confirm that they are racist regardless of the actions they do. Anyone trying to say that Religious Freedom law is anything other than a way to make discrimination legal is either a total fool or a bigot and its irritating when people have to be polite about it.

You guys should really read James Loewen's book. It's very informative about a period of history that most people never talk about in terms of race relations. poo poo was real real bad for a long time after the civil war, and it was a pretty huge national problem that was not in any way limited to the south.

Schweich, who was Christian, said he perceived the remarks to be part of an anti-Semitic whispering campaign against him. Additionally the 1st guy was on the verge of a huge case regarding a few school board members receiving $25m+ right before he committed suicide: http://www.kctv5.com/story/28132377/state-audit-highly-critical-of-st-joseph-school-districts-spending quote:“We actually went back about eight years and found that there was actually over $25 million worth of stipends paid either unapproved, unauthorized or improper,” said State Auditor Thomas Schweich. “So bad, really the worst we've seen that it almost functions as sort of a slush fund outside the regular scope of board approval and this went on for many, many years.”

Inferior Third Season posted:I think it's just that they think a community organizer is a poor person who interacts with other poor (black) people. There are no community organizers in gated communities. It is thus a thing by and for poor people, and can thus be ridiculed and dismissed as insignificant and unnecessary and not a "real job". Oh I wish that this were true. My kids school district includes the local gated community so the pta is a social club for those moms there who don't work outside the home. It is exactly community organizing, but they're white people.
