Your support of affirmative action clearly demonstrates your racist view that black people can’t make it without your wise, enlightened, white help. Support of federal handouts promotes economic slavery to the government. How well has that worked over the past 60+ years of the “Great Society”? We went from 20% illegitimacy rate when the racist Arlin Spector lectured on it to the Senate and now it’s something over 77%. We have lowered school standards continuously and most notably recently with Common Core and yet continue to have lower graduation rates, lower literacy rates and rising poverty rates so government money and influence can’t be the solution.
    Way to flip the script there Mr. Duke, but it's actually you whose not understanding the fundamental problem. Black and Hispanic students are capable of making it to college without affirmative action, but are historically less capable of competing against a better educated Caucasian student because of how standardized admissions testing favors the wealthy and well-connected. Yes, you are right on how big of an impact family and communities place on the role of college, but a family that has "gotten by" without ever having been to college is not going to place the same importance than would a legacy family on attending college or a university. Affirmative action is about making those positions available for children who want to attend, for creating a greater number of higher education graduates in underprivileged communities to build economic clout and independence. Affirmative action is not racist, it considers race and our countries /terrible/ history of enslaving and suppressing it's natives and it's minorities.

    You do realize that we clearly see you tap dancing around the fact that your rich state has fucked the poor big time to pay off their rich Leftist tech overlords. We also see you moving the goal posts as fast as you can because you can’t stand being shown to be an idiot.
    Clearly not seeing what you're referring to isn't helped by the fact you don't provide a single example or proof of your argument. I'd be happy to prove you wrong if you can clarify what you're referring to.

    Wrong again. With the changes in the Federal Budget Kommiefornia did not have a balanced budget and it was long before Corona. Also, you need to look at your state’s pension plan bankruptcy to come. You are far from liquid and it’s getting worse.
    The state has had a balanced budget or surplus for the last two years running and has diverted billions of extra dollars as a result to decrease it's unfunded obligation, the fact it's one of the few states with abilities to add significant funds most years says something. When's the last time the US Government has had a balanced budget or surplus?

    74% funded is huge by the way, and this isn't an obligation that is going to be due today, nor tomorrow, nor a decade from now. Recent projections on it's solvency were based off of a 7% average return rate, yet the 20 years and still is pumping billions extra to close the gasp.

    Look at Dreaven confuse a well-informed argument with saltiness because he demonstratively doesn't understand the topic.

    Christ almighty. I read this last night but I thought it was a joke from The Onion or something, but nope! It's real!

    Minneapolis mayor urges protesters to wear masks and practice social distancing

    “The City encourages everyone to exercise caution to stay safe while participating in demonstrations, including wearing masks and physical distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s office wrote in a statement addressed to individuals who took to the streets following the death of George Floyd while in police custody. “The City has made hundreds of masks available to protesters this week.”
    "As you're burning down the police station and looting dozens of stores be sure you're wearing masks and are practicing social distancing."

    Can Democrats get anymore useless?

    A man was probably beat to death by rioters as he was trying to defend his business.

    Is this worth it to hurt Trump's chances of winning in November, Seran? That's a rhetorical question by the way, we all know you think his life was worth it.

    A group of 20+ Serans gang up and beat a man simply for carrying an American flag.

    Fuck you, Seran.

    You talking about that story of police shooting paint pellets? Oh yeah, THAT'S clearly the story. Not rioters nearly beating a man to death. Not rioters shooting and killing a black federal officer, not rioters stabbing a police officer in the neck, not rioters beating a man for carrying an American flag, not rioters burning over 200 buildings, not rioters burning down historical landmarks.

    No, it's clearly the police using non-lethal means to restore order.

    You're almost as worthless as Seran is.

    Does it matter? Your non lethal means can still put out eyes and cause damage. They were on a quiet city side street shooting onto someone's property illegally. They had no right. But they are probably Democrats so it's all cool.
