If you could read you would know. I’m actually glad you bit… that’s what I was waiting for, someone to call me racist. So if I’m racist for that comment it stands to reason that this school board along with the school itself is racist. Is it not?
Which people are you tired of? People with pigmentation different than yours? ‘Cause that’s how it’s coming across.
New Jim Crowe just dropped. Seattle-Area School Board Defends Segregating Meetings by Skin Color At a February 10th meeting, the school board of this Seattle suburb defended tailoring invitations to a recent meeting by skin color. Board president Anne Moore defended the decision from critics, saying that for “people of color,” being “surrounded by other people similar to them, makes it easier.” Too bad George Wallace didn't think of that argument.
More pearl clutching by right-wing snowflakes? What is the context? What is the reason for the meeting? Why do they want POC to show up? Maybe to talk about Lil Mike?
Well Lil Mike, I'm not going to defend it because I don't know anything about it. Without knowing the context, it could be racist or it could be completely innocent, but you jump to the conclusion it is equivalent to a Klan meeting. Who's a lil racist?
Your posts are more then a little racist and frankly full of racial hatred. Why? Because your posts demonstrate a lack of empathy and fairness towards people of certain skin color. That's racist! Frankly I'm tired of hateful racist posters who can't win the debate on facts and logic call others out as racists with no logic tied to it. We can see right through it.
Again you are making this about me personally, and not the story. Accusations of racism are fairly common on this forum and almost always derive from a position of ignorance, so I try not to take much offense. But in this case, I have to grin at the irony of me posting a story about a school district segregating by race, and by bringing it up, you are calling me racist! Life is funny sometimes... Anyway I anxiously await the "context" in which this is not racist. Why don't you give me some examples of how this racist act could be not racist?
Quote my "racial hatred" posts....it could be a learning experience. I brought an open mind to a lil post. I'm willing to say the meeting is racist if it is, but facts are missing and right-wing assumptions are made, that's not logic. You don't need context to jump to a conclusion, I do. Okay here it is: "The first of the four meetings will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15. As a School Board we understand that historically marginalized families may not share honestly or vulnerably about their experiences in our district if they are not surrounded by people that look like them or have a similar lived experience. In this meeting we hope to ensure all families have the space to connect, feel supported, and share authentically. Parents of all races are welcome to attend this meeting that intends to create a safe space for parents and guardians of color and parents and guardians with students of color who racially identify with historically marginalized races." The meeting was a bad idea while trying to do the right thing. The board was not trying to be racist but ended up seeming to be. Hardly "George Wallace" material, mistakes have be made, but continue your long search for any hint of racial segregation against whites.
So it seems like you are acknowledging that their segregation policies come from a good place (!) but were misguided. So you agree with me that they were inappropriate, regardless of the reason correct? Also, why did you call me racist for posting about this?
Granted the announcement was poorly worded per the PC police, but it was a well intentioned school board meeting to get people of color to open up about their concerns that you label as "Segregation Back in Style", "the New Jim Crowe" and "Too bad George Wallace didn't think of that argument" without knowing the context. Pretty strong accusations. Do you think your assumptions were valid? Where were they coming from?
Of course my assumptions were valid. It was racial segregation. If the school board had put out a notice that said, As a School Board we understand that white families may not share honestly or vulnerably about their experiences in our district if they are not surrounded by people that look like them or have a similar lived experience, would you think it's perfectly understandable for the school board to have whites only meetings?
"Parents of all races are welcome to attend this meeting......." So you're going to double down and stand by your "valid"(and not racist) opinion that this piddling BS is "the New Jim Crowe"? As I wrote earlier more pearl clutching by right-wing snowflakes.
Perhaps you do not know that segregation means the enforced separation of different racial groups in a country, or in the case of US, a State. People can do whatever they want in private spaces, but we obviously do NOT have any State or city segregating people by race in public places.
I really don't recall what that quote was in reference to.....but no matter, if they feel they need a safe space, why not. Even your Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and klanners have a right to find their "safe spaces" as long as they aren't breaking any laws.
Wow. A true racist. Just for the record, none of the groups you identified are "mine"... But for some reason, you think segregation is ok. That seems to contravene what the majority of the nation would want. So why again, do you think it's ok to create reservations of discrimination? Or do you simply make the statement absent the willingness to ignore other groups wanting to do the same thing? Do we still need women golfing at Augusta, for example? Just a question, but taking your logic at face value, Augusta National should be able to discriminate in whatever way they wish. You really are a democrat.
Do you know you are babbling? Groups sharing common interests is not racism. Republicans trying keep minority voters from voting, that's not sharing. 'The intent makes the crime.'
True. There is a difference though between commonality and actively discriminating. When folks create reservations of "safety" what they are actually doing is segregating from society, because safety means non inclusion. I know, you missed that. Republicans want anyone who is legal to vote. Y'all don't, that's for sure. So, if by minority voters, you mean illegal aliens, I think you have a real problem understanding words like "legal". And yes, your intent to allow them to vote is in fact illegal. And it make it a crime.
Still babbling. Italians used to face prejudice, they created a number of organistations like the Italian American society. You are still trying to misconstrue sharing interests with prejudicial exclusion. You know better. The Voting Rights Act has several hundred pages of documentation of Republicans trying again and again and again to screw over minorities. In the real world, we have these things called facts. I think you have a real problem facing your real motivation.
OK you used the word "piddling." That seems to imply to me that at a certain point, segregation goes from merely "piddling" to actual Jim Crow like racial segregation. So, where is that line for you?
Your argument for private segregated spaces might be a compelling one. Would a privately owned drugstore lunch counter be a private space?
You are asking if a private business is a private business? Good grief. No one said anything about a business, but do you think KKK meetings are required by law to allow blacks to attend? How bad to you want to attend a BLM meeting? Are "Members Only" signs illegal? Sometimes it seems you just like to complain for the sake of complaining?
