Go home, you’re drunk.
Also, the second episode ruled. Stavros is so great in this show.

So your response to my challenge is to point out an instance where the justice department got involved and declared the discrimination to be illegal?
It's in the title of your link...
I am not a Pollyanna. Of course discrimination happens. We fight crimes after they are committed. Not before. That's just reality.

I think maybe you see me as one of the board liberals attacking you as a simple racist. Take a breath. I think we share a disdain for those events.
My take is that "separate but equal" is evil. We are beyond that as a civilization.
Again, those ceremonies, stupid as they may be, are not governmentally segregated events. They are student and organizationally run events.
No. I do not believe that private businesses should be allowed to discriminate based on race. And I challenge you to show me one that does. There are certainly businesses that cater to one race or that put out front and center that they would rather not sell to other races. Those businesses are free to stay small or fail, and the ones that enforce those beliefs with actual results are free lose in court to discrimination lawsuits.

I'm against that.
So we agree.
But again, you conflate two issues. That is an example of a supplemental event put on by a racial lobby. I think it's dumb. I think we put too much stock in racial identity in America.
Is it any different than a Christian event or a Muslim protest?
Are Jews barred from attending a football game in the south whenever a Christian prayer is said before the game? I say no. It certainly doesn't cater to their beliefs. But they are welcome to attend. Though I doubt any announcer is going to be handing over the mic to allow for a traditional Jewish prayer anytime soon.
Barring someone from attending a public school based on their race is an inherent bad policy. It is evil. There really isn't much wiggle room in that.
Holding a black graduation is just dumb and counter-productive to racial harmony.

You are conflating two things.
The government does not have a right to treat me any differently than any other American.
Better stated, the government is ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED from discriminating against anyone based on their inherent characteristics. If a government entity, which the public school system is, does same, it is the responsibility of the government to protect those rights.
Whether people choose to congregate with others that share similar features or characteristics is not a part of the equation.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
I'm fully able to see nuance and that there are drawbacks to lots of societal changes.
Forced desegregation in the 1950s was an unequivocal good. Full stop.
Let me add, I don't know the context of that picture. I don't like an American soldier aiming a gun at what looks like a teenager. And I am against acts of unprovoked aggression. However, I am also firmly against "separate but equal." The idea of reading a post angry about same in 2026 is wild to me.

This place is full of wild political takes.
I think being angry about desegregation in the 1950s may be near the top of the list.
I understand what the OP means. My question stands. Are you all hopeful that the US Government enforces order against a political party?
I’m not trying to call you or anyone a bad person or crazy or stupid. I genuinely am asking if the majority thought here is that we are too far along for discussions.
I agree that there aren’t any easy answers. I do not like that these DSA members are gaining such traction. I’m just wary of words like “justify what we have to do to them later.”

You understand what this language means, right?
And where this talk leads?
Honest question: Is this the kind of thing the members of the poliboard want?
I’m all for being anti-Covid vaccine, but some of you people really need to step back from the ledge.

Easily Crystal Skull. Flawed. Bad. Human.
Last Jedi never. I’ll hate that movie till I die. I’m angry now because you started this thread and reminded me it exists.

I think it'll be a non-story. The guy thought he was the Joker. Got delusional and assumed people would study his crime and be interested in him. Turns out, he was just another loser who couldn't get laid. Forgotten like the rest of them.
Now that the spotlight has faded and all he has is the quiet of a jail cell, he wants relevance again. No way does a judge grant him any sort of relief.

Universal seems like the weird homeschool kid who only gets hand me downs and isn’t allowed sugar or PG-13 movies.
While the rest of the studios are making big franchises like Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Jurassic Park…
They do old school monsters and Atari.

I would have loved it at 8 years old.
I loved it at 45, but I would have loved it at 8 too.
