Was never an issue when ya'll were pouring acid to get us out of the pool. Or when we couldn't go to "white only" businesses. Or schools.
A white performer can have an entire stage of nothing but white dancers and they wouldn't say boo, but the black performer does the same, suddenly they see it as unfair. 🙄
I see it as a "I don't see color" kind of thing. You may be able to see it as "just" a class war, but people who may be a different race, or disabled, etc., can't do that because those factors can change how you're treated. Saying we should ignore it or rebrand it as a class war is disregarding the reprocussions that race plays in the class war. What communities get funding? What communities have good schools? What communities have food deserts? Who gets promoted to leadership?
Before these things came to be, America was very much class-war only in my opinion, which is why boomer white Americans did so well. They were all seen as the same community, so raising them up was raising them all up. So they had Veterans benefits and programs after the war to help them get housing and education. Unions protected their members. But those programs didn't always extend to POC, if at all. That's why we have to keep an eye on it. It's not just class that affects people, and not talking about it allows the majority to pretend it isn't happening, or is a minor issue. I think it also facilities the silencing of minorities as their issues seem "fringe" or like complaints.
The system was not built for a lot of people, and we have to keep reminding people of that. Because what's going on in the US is showing that. They're worried about anti-Christians and immigrants, transgenders, etc. Even if those people are also poor, that won't save them if we just see class. A middle class, transgender woman who may have been a "good guy" is now an enemy be cause of their gender identity alone. A black man being followed in a store is not being followed for class reasons. People with disabilities having trouble just existing are not having that trouble (solely) because of class.
Getting rid of DEI/CRT makes the loudest voice everyone's voice. And that person is usually not looking out for us.
Wasn't this specifically against Harris? I get why they were against Harris, I just don't know why they were only "Abandon Harris" instead of abandoning the whole process or what have you.
I wasn't trying to be flippant, I guess I saw it as "Churchill and Truman can't decide whether Poland surrenders, that's up to the polish people" and then for people to be mad only at Churchill.
It seemed like they were saying it's under no one's control outside of the Palestinians, but were still saying it was ___'s fault. Sorry that I misunderstood.
"Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration's full, unobstructed support for Israel's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land," Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.
"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."
What? If it's not Trump, nor Biden, nor Harris who decides, why was only Harris punished for it?
Do they not know the concept of piracy? That's like Walmart and Target backing a new bill to stop shoplifting.
They could just make a better service. Between the password sharing, and everything being scattered everywhere, what did they expect? I'm going to pay for half a dozen services and still not get to watch what I want? Or I may be able to watch it and pay for the privilege to see ubskippable ads? You can only beat us with so many sticks before we stop feeling it. Come back with a carrot.

It tickles me how much more cordial this thread is compared to the one about violence at night. No essays about how it isn't true, or how women are presented "worse." Just empathy and good discussion, and some jokes here and there.
“And by the way, Bernie, the problem of corruption is not just in the federal agencies. It’s in Congress too,” Kennedy said. “Almost all the members of this panel, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry and protecting their interests.”
“Oh, no, no, no, no,” Sanders said, raising his hand to quiet the applause that erupted from the gallery. “I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives; not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry. They came from the workers.”
RFK just kept saying it over and over again like Sanders didn't address it. 1.5 million of the 200 million raised for his presidential campaign came from health care workers. And he still didn't answer the question, only for Sanders to be told he's battering the witness.
Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it's bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I'd be so fucking hype.
The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn't read the book. So much is internal, but you don't have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
Les Miserables Just... You know, maybe give it a second pass...
Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80's/early 90's anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, "Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?" I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they're the villain) they're shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn't that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn't be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
