This is lunacy, and another reflection of the racial problem in America and its push for diversity.
I totally agree that this totally unacceptable, and will eventually cause a reaction in the opposite direction.
What shall happen when people will not accept to be seen by “physicians of African-American, Hispanic and other ethnic backgrounds who have been historically under-represented in the medical profession and whose communities have been historically underserved by primary care practitioners" because they are deemed incompetent?
Or will people be afraid to say it?
Didn’t the Marines lower their standards becuse their tests were too difficult for women to pass (and therefore, sexist)?
Progressives aren’t worried about solving racism; they just think so little of black people that they believe such gestures will make them believe they are.
Another feature of liberals you’ll see is the coddling and excusing of criminals, while some of these same liberals live in gated communities and send their children to private schools, to the tune of yearly expenses that exceed the average Americans salary.
That’s because they’re better than everyone else. THEY never need to be forced to do anything; they just have to force inferior beings to do things. THEY love racial diversity; they just don’t want their kids to grow up in high-crime areas, or have their kids held back in school due to the needs of children who aren’t lucky enough to have such involved parents.
TN has a program called TIPS for state law schools - guaranteed admission for minorities that don’t qualify grade and LSAT score wise to take a 12 week course for admission.
11/12 that entered with me were gone after the first year. Them answering questions being cold called was painful and sad. They had zero business being there.
@NickViar I see nothing wrong with diversity in TV Shows and movies. In a way it does help towards the racism problem. If an ethnic child sees someone that looks like them being represented in a positive light, it’s gonna help build the self esteem.
Then again we can argue that diversity in media can backfire due to tokenism.
Ignore all the trolling I’ve said and take this opinion seriously: I’m incredibly sick of modern TV shows or movies representing black men as gay/sissies or always being the victims of racism. Can I list a specific examples no? But, have I seen lots of it on social media, youtube, or tiktok on random ocassions? Yes.
This can be explained at a very simple level. Imagine if I were a neighbor from hell.
This story reminds me of much of Queens and especially Richmond Hills haha. Loud music blasting until 11pm from cars and stereos, and people get violently mad if you politely ask them to lower it.
Edit: People literally get shot over this in NYC. Part of why I moved.
Just skimmed the thread but want to respond to this regarding porn:
Yes, eradicated. Although it seems like the common American feels that almost nothing can be severely cut down on. See edit/addendum above. @tlgains
I don’t watch porn, which apparently makes me downright bizarre nowadays. I watched it here and there from age 13 - 15 and then stopped once I realized I could just be doing the real thing instead of watching a video. Banning porn would be such an anti-freedom move that I can’t support it, and I don’t see the majority ever coming close to supporting it. To go full 'Murican here, my argument is “freedom” haha.
If you do want to eradicate porn: Go after what’s causing the addiction. The dating culture, lack of sex, and lack of meaningful and well-paid work most young men suffer through leads to porn addiction IMO. And other addictions, IME. Imagine a 25 year old single guy making $50k a year, barely having sex 10 times a year, and having no real prospects of a meaningful marriage, owning a home and retiring. He is obviously gonna be watching porn, jerking off 10x a day, smoking weed endlessly, and playing video games endlessly haha. Why wouldn’t he at that point?
Porn was illegal in America in the past. We also had film production codes and obscenity laws. If you want you can look into how those were overturned.
So America was, “like da Middle East” at one point.
I’m not being sarcastic but Americans’ “muh freedom” thing is getting old. So people wouldn’t be able to see screwing on their TV or computer. Oh no!
Do you know this would involve taking away or interfering with “freedoms” to correct the situation, by law or not by law?
I actually drummed up a list in my head once about how to restore a normal social/sexual order between the sexes. Likely nearly all of posters here would hate it and I’d be called sexist, misogynist, and “unAmerican” even though they were in effect … in America… at one time or another. Or I might get “but slavery was done too. Are ya saying you’d go back to that too?!”
I lived 37 of my 43 years in Queens. First Little Neck, then Bayside, then Glen Oaks.
I also worked in Jamaica for about a decade. My father owned stores on Jamaica Avenue, in Queens Village and way further down into Jamaica, not far from the Colosseum. My uncle owned two stores on Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside. My mom worked in Elmhurst for decades.
I also worked in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and the Bronx.
So I know the deal. I’ve spent much time where everyone’s favorite rappers resided.
