    I know it's hard to prove discrimination. And there may be disagreements over what constitutes discrimination. Where are you on the empathy scale:

    That's not surprising given all the anti-white rhetoric being promoted by the Democratic party.

    Things like CRT preaching the evil white man.

    That’s not surprising considering all the anti-liberal rhetoric being promoted by Trumpers and Republicans.

    Like the Big Lie and the actions of the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers.
    That’s good company you righties keep.

    I don’t see why anyone is discriminating against anyone, especially over something as meaningless as skin color. Hopefully we get over this nonsense soon.

    I'm White and I discriminate against other White people all the time. Is this a new kind of hate crime we're going to have to deal with?

    if you're an American, one discrimination you may notice is US corporations hiring overseas labor vs American labor

    More like the media.

    Like I've been repeatedly saying; everything they blame the other side for, they are even more guilty of.

    Discrimination is a bogeyman. It is not inherently bad. I discriminate against people who cannot pay for my product every day of the week.

    Yet another example of white Americans blaming "black" for racism and black Americans blaming "white" for racism while they all blind themselves to the one common factor.

    That isn't discrimination against people though, it's discrimination based on circumstances, significantly, circumstances that can be changed. If a customer doesn't have the money to pay then obviously you don't serve them but if the same person comes back later with the money, you then will. If you refuse to serve someone because of their race, there is nothing to do to change that (nor, obviously, should they need to).

    i think we were only a generation or 2 away, but this aspect of trumpism set that clock back about 1/2 century.

    You misspelled Obama. He was always stirring up the race pot.

    After all Michelle was never proud of America until her husband became president

    trump campaigned on "wedge" (divisive) issues and only catered to his base, pointing that out is NOT devisive

    I have kids who complain about a kid who has an emotional support toy in class. Basically a fidget spinner. The kid needs it. I have to explain to 5-6 year olds that sometimes fairness means one person has something that will help them do what everyone else can do. The kids have to think about it but they can understand the concept. It is no different than say a kid needing extra time because they have a learning disability.


    Why are conservatives so emotionally stunted they cannot understand such a simple concept?

    We were in the process of getting over it starting with the 1960's. But in the past 15 years or so racism has regained some impetus with most of it aimed at white males. The difference, though, that I don't think white males care. I know I don't.

    I don’t think you understand what the definition of fair is. In fact I’m fairly certain you don’t.

    I’ll take your opinion on anything when you stop taking such moronic views on basic concepts like justice.
