Would Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. approve of what his legacy has produced?
According to a previous post of yours, there are some individuals that do celebrate it. Putting that aside for a second though, the fact that it is still a part of state law is what's truly regressive here. Why you would argue in favor of keeping it that way is beyond me.
Propping up the south as the big-bad-racist mecca because of historical events, instead of reflecting on the sins of our modern day culture, does nothing but perpetuate a cycle of ignorance in regard to how our people are treated at large.
There's racism to be found and work to be done in every state, certainly. But if a not-insignificant portion of our lawmakers cannot even put the Civil War and Jim Crow era behind them, I'm not sure how they can be expected to work toward a brighter future for all of us.
Gerrymandering is not a check or balance, it's an abuse of the system by those already in power who want to retain it without the consent of the governed. The "it's okay when my side does it" schtick gets real old, real quick.
The vast majority of citizens in Mississippi and Alabama are already poor, and as a result of Republican policies. Neither party supports socialism or even strong social programs for exactly the reason you touched on: they benefit exclusively the working class and are to the detriment of billionaires and corporations.
Climate change is a worldwide issue, you realize, and natural disasters are not limited to hurricanes. The data is never going to be completely steady, but the trend is obvious.
You brought up more frequent and stronger hurricanes. I proved you wrong. And your statistics only go back to 1970. Show me natural disaster statistics from 1913, 1776, 1492, 1215, 476, 539 BC, 4000 BC, 10000 BC. Why stop at 1970 except to push a narrative.
Prove it. Because if Republicans are receiving foreign donations, the Dems would have already been investigating and the DOJ would be all over it, unless the Dems are also receiving foreign donations, except from China and Ukraine money laundering. Hmmm...

@Forbid is not arguing to keep it. Once again, you are reading words that are not there. He stated that people do not celebrate it or even observe it. I don't remember hearing about it when I lived in Alabama.

Most of the racism, sexism and anti-Semitism is happening in blue cities like New York City, Portland, and San Francisco, not to mention the schools in Virginia around Washington, DC who allow trans kids to rape school girls and withhold merit awards from Asian students so other minorities don't feel bad. Your push for equity is hurting the smart people in this country.
You were never a slave and either was anyone you've ever known, Not anyone you've ever met has ever been a slave owner. Also you're the hateful racist person with a victim mentality, you're just too stupid to see that. I think you'll end up a sad lonely old fat twat, because I've read a few of your posts and haven't seen anything at all that gives a glimmer of hope that you might be a decent person. I pity you and I think I'll add you to my ignore list as all your posts are nothing but whinging - you're a negative effect and I bet when people see you they walk away from you because they can't be arsed with your pish. Don't bother replying either - you've just been cancelled.
And yet again another baseless lie, which is once again reported - this time to the main site Admin. Jings you lead a boring life that you've got time to spend making up crap about people, is it because you hate life and yourself that you spew your venom to random internet people??? Get help, you need it.
Anyone participating in race wars and measuring racism is being racist. If you consider yourself as "a member of a race" you are already guilty. There's no point in posturing as if you are better than someone. You aren't spreading enlightenment. You are just being a hypocritical idiot.

The left always say that black people cannot be racist, but then there is this gaslighting. Moral of the story is that leftists don't know what racism actually is. It's empty words coming from empty brains.
Bruh. Kayne West anyone?
Or is it racist to say that him being racist is bad?
At this point your pretty much projecting. Since I'm pretty sure when Kayne West (rightfully) got shat on for his positions. Ya'll called it racist.
I think you listen to OANN or fox news far too much.

If you want to fry a lefties brain, tell them that you're Trans-Racial, and some days you identify as another race - therefore you can't be racist, EVER! because you can claim you identified as black on the day that they percieved you to be a racist. Then call them a transracial biggot and watch their heads explode when you are using their own logic against them.
Second article is another opinion piece.
Maybe you should get out of the opinion tab when trying to report what "lefties" think? Because some corporate dumbass isn't going to represent leftists pretty much most of the time. We come for the reporting. Not their fear mongering or opinions.
I pick neither, because the system itself is racist, and cops knowingly or not perpetuate it. And all people can be racist, however white people have a pretty bad history and precedent set with being racist to other groups, and culture and norms can knowingly or not knowingly continue to perpetuate it.
And given that it the country was founded by, surprise, racist white people, it wouldn't be surprising that the foundation is and continues to be fucked.

You should go to other countries so you can witness actual racism, but you won't because it's easier to attack people here or to attack dead people because they can't fight back. You have never done anything in your life to combat racism, so you can just stop pretending to be the white knight here to save all minorities, except for Asians. For some reason, the left really hates Asians.

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
