Very few are police officers, but I admit that many professions have the same problem.....So do not go you your PCP he/she may be racist.....Oh do not go to the grocery store because the manager and the checker may be racist......Do not call the the fire department because many may be racist....Do not call an ambulance because one EMT may be a racist....Do we defund all of these too. Do we also defund the schools because some of the instructors may be racist....Where does this shit stop.???? Ananas........
Yea,all it does is set a precedent for the next time.
The next guy that kills someone for simply speaking a word, will expect the same or lesser punishment.
You're in favor of people driving over protesters.
That's killing someone over their first amendment rights, for real.
It's not 'a' word, the n-word is illegal, because discrimination is illegal.
Calling someone a racial slur is assault.
BUT is "assault" as you call it, worthy of killing someone?
There is no visable harm,no verifiable harm from a word.
It is all hypothetical.
YOu can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a word hurt you.
"BUT is "assault" as you call it, worthy of killing someone?"
No of course not, but remember he just hit him. Intent matters.
By the way, you are a hypocrite, because any reason or not a reason at all,
is good enough for you to justify cops SHOOTING people, sometimes seven times
in the back. That is the INTENT of killing that person.
The word is intended to hurt, so it hurts.
The word is attacking the persons inescapable identity,
not the persons actions.
Can you provide evidence of cops shooting someone 7 times in the back, sure you might find a few rogues out there as with every one.......Evidence please of that happening several times.....Hell, anyone could be a back shooter that is where this shit started........I admit we have psychopaths in this world that do that, but a majority are not police......Evidence please........
Jacob Blake. Haven't you seen the video?
OK, tiny correction; four times in the back and three in the side.
I'm not going to put up all the video's now. You probably already saw all of them. Sometimes 'suspects' get shot because of holding up a phone, some kids get shot holding a toy gun or BB gun, a 13-year-old boy with autism got shot 11 times for not listening, a couple got shot while laying om the floor, a suspect got shot through his car windows seconds after the cops exited their car, a guy got shot through his garage door, a guy got shot on his porch holding a sandwich and some guy just got neck-crushed the life out from him. And you are still asking for evidence? What evidence will ever be enough?
It's not 'some psychopaths' and it's also not the majority of the police. But it's way too many of them. It's due to a lack of accountability and a toxic culture, which IS the majority of the police or at least to an extend all of the police.
I agree with you here. It's involuntary manslaughter of the second degree.
What was the ruling then? Self defense against discriminating verbal aggression?
He would go to prison in Europe, but the US favors self defense more.
If it's self defense to shoot someone with an assault rifle when you're kicked,
it's self defense to hit someone, when you're verbally abused.
So actually pretty consistent with other cases in the US, where people don't get charged for causing the death of others.
You are damn right, but I think it is manslaughter......Why has the liberals not come forward and demand what I latter mentioned to be changed to manslaughter/womanslaughter.....????Hell the libs cannot tell the difference between a man or woman like KBJ.....That should exclude her on the basis of ignorance.....
The only thing we know is that he was on someones property, looking through a window, a week earlier. It that 'devious behavior'?
This is exactly what I am talking about. I am NOT saying people should get accidentally killed for saying the n-word (discrimination is illegal), BUT YOU ARE saying looking through a window (not illegal) is a justification to intentionally kill someone over.
That is not true, Ananas. Mr Zimmerman reported seeing a young black male looking through the window of an empty house two weeks before. No one was identified. Mr Zimmerman had a record of calling the cops (50) all the time for all kinds of reasons and if it involved people, they were always black. Traivon Martin was a total stranger to Mr Zimmerman. Mr Zimmerman got away with murder.
The son of a bitch should fry. Cops still haven’t said why he did it. Of course, he’s still has to be tried. So far the cops haven’t released what evidence they have
Exactly, it's horrible when innocent people get murdered or killed by criminals.
It's not a reason to not care about innocent people getting killed by police.
Fuck BLM, they don't give a rats ass about a black life. The only time you see them is when a police officer shoots one. Then all of a sudden a black life matters only to destroy and loot. Anyone with that woke group of idiots can go fuck themselves.
you are so right. They dont care about black lives at all! This is well said and a fact. I see black lives murdered every day in numbers highest in the entire country, but blm only cares if a white police officer kills a black person. But so true, they dont give a shit about black lives.
They kill each other sometimes,even shoot their babies thru house windows,BLM didn't march for that little kid that got shot a couple months ago that was sleeping,during a drive by shooting.
BLM is a group founded to profit from the suffering of black people and use that money to further their radical agenda.Buying mansions that were former communist owned and so on.NOT 1 family of a black person shot by a white cop has gotten any money from BLM.
You are so right there.....Have we heard a damn word out of anyone when a white life or any race for that matter other than black is lost to the police??????????Why do you think I posted All Lives Matter???????????
Perhaps, Tecsan, whites ( the biggest group in our society) don’t really care that much about police injustices. Perhaps they have been drilled all their lives that police officers are their friends and no matter what they do, they have a right to do it and it not right to question their actions. So, three cops burst into the wrong house and kill a white pregnant woman? Oops, a mistake. We white people understand. Try not to do it again. Form a WLM? What for? Cops never do anything wrong. Mistakes, yes, but, they work hard in a dangerous job. One more dead-by-cop white man is to be expected. What the cops need is a raise.
Black on black crime makes up nearly ALL of the killings in the black community. Especially in liberal controlled cities. In fact, the lib defund the police is hurting black communities the most. Many of these areas are demanding MORE police!
Even big Joey says defund the police is DEAD. He said this during the State of the Union. He only said this because crime is SKYROCKETING in blue cities/states. Midterm elections- it is going to be a slaughter for the democrats.
For many ghetto blacks, crime is generational. Anyone who dares to try to leave that lifestyle are often killed...
Where is legitimate black leadership in the US? Elite liberal colleges. Chardonnay white liberals.
BLM- Nothing but law breaking rats funded by Soros.
ps- progressive wet dream bail reform here in NYC-- losing altitude faster than MH370.
New york is borderline a disaster area already.
Black on Black crime?! to qoute gretta here,"OH DARE YOU", remind people of the facts. How can the democrats continue to use the black people for votes if they learn the truth????They are their own worst enemy.Until black people learn to value themselves, no one else can be expected to value them.
Black people are just as used and abused as they were 100 years ago. By the very people they vote for.Promises made and not kept,keeping them on welfare instead of in the job market. Pregnant and single because the gov gives a check each month. Johnson said they didn't need the daddy at home,they could get a check.
Trump, who ran as a republican, had the unemployment rate the lowest in history for black people . You see how much it was appreciated.
See, I agree with everything you said there.....You did fail to mention that all lives matter, but I know if anyone says that all the libturds will call you a racist so I understand.....
Only liberal idiots compare them.I don't recall any deaths,any buildings burned during the trucker protest.
I also don't recall any police being harmed.
Trudeau and his cronies are communist dictator wanta be's.
Damn shame to. Canada is a beautiful country with endless resources and hard working people. How Castro's illegitimate son got to run the place is beyond me.
One side is protesting people being killed, they other side is protesting getting
a shot and wearing a mask, to protect the lives of their family, friends and country.
Your country asked it's citizens to do their duty and all the right-wingers chose to be
a bunch of cowards.
I don't wanna, vaccines are icky!
I don't wanna, it's new technology!
I don't wanna, it's not tested enough!
I don't wanna, it's not approved yet!
It's approved for emergency use! No, not good enough! I want dewormer medicine!
I don't wanna, Bill Gates but microchips in it!
I don't wanna, because it's socialism!
Blm'ers cost America millions in property loss's because of a couple thugs that were killed.
The truckers that sit alone in the cab of their trucks for hours every day,were simply fighting for the choice of what is put into their body.Plain and simple.
IF you notice,there was trucker protest in other countrys to.And there is 1 going here in the US.
So canadians wanting freedom of choice are not alone in their quest.
If they had chosen to get vaccinated, there would be NO control.
Sometimes choices have CONSEQUENCES.
Right-wingers always point to other people needing to take responsibility,
but the world be damned, if they need to. PATRIOTS? MY ASS!
Are you incapable of looking at the causes for things that happen?
When people protest a legitimate problem, than government can choose to act on that problem. If the government reforms the police, BLM goes home. Problems solved.
When people protest vaccine and mask mandates and the government says "OK, you don't have to", then more people will get Covid, more people will die and the fucking disease will keep on infecting, mutating and killing. Worse problem!
You cannot deny a pandemic. It will do the destruction it is allowed to do. It will affect the economy either way, because it disables, kills and creates medical costs. The only way out is preventing infection and protecting the people with vaccines. If we finally beat this thing, it will be pure luck, because people did their best to help the virus.
The government asked nicely and politely first. No control then, but right-wingers
still became fucking crazy. The problem could not be solved by asking politely.
Why should the rest SUFFER, for your idea of freedom?
Why should people suffer the side effects of a so called vaccine just to make YOU feel safe? Your safety is not my problem,nor it is the problem of anyone else but YOU. In a free country you can stay in your basement and order take out, and shop on amazon and never leave the house.YOu choose to go out and put your safety at risk yourself.
"If the government reforms the police, BLM goes home. Problems s"
If you believe that,I have really nice bridge I would like to sell you in San fransico.
The side effects are a tiny risk. It's just fear that hypes up that risk.
It's everyone's responsibility to take that risk, to prevent worse.
It's not about feeling safe, it's actual improvement of safety.
Unvaccinated people are filling up the hospitals, that's a fact.
Hospitals are overburdened, that's a fact.
People with a medical emergency have died because of that.
That's just one reason the unvaccinated effect other people.
Viruses mutate, that's a fact. Every single infected person creates another risk of
an even worse mutation. Vaccines still prevent infections up to 50%. Every infection prevented, reduces the risk of an even worse mutation.
Why San Fransisco? Did they reform the police and BLM didn't go home?
Must be impressive. Did the cops read a Powerpoint on how not to kill people?
There is a big bridge out there in that city,
It has been "sold" a million times.
Why is it if the side effects are so tiny I can count several people suffering life changing side effects, 1 being my father? Don't be so naive in thinking you are being given all the facts just because you are pro vax ok? To many people with degrees in science are coming out explaining stuff for it all to be rosy as the government is telling us.
this fake news about side effects is the media suppressing alternate news to the crap the government wants people to be fed.
Here is abc news actually providing this. Just a example of some of the bullshit being proven wrong or at least enough evidence presented to warrent a second look.
only registered users can see external links
I have researched every claim against vaccines made, by you or others on
this site and several from politicians and alternative media. I gave your link
'a second look': I searched on the claim and found an article criticizing that claim, within 1 minute. The claim is false and misleading on many levels.
only registered users can see external links
The claims are not supported by REALITY. Lockdowns worked well in my country, every time, even when those were too late and compromises of half measures. China has eliminated Covid with lockdowns almost completely. They had nothing else. Some western countries did very well too, with less draconian measures. Even if your lockdowns were that ineffective, are you surprised?
The US hardly did any lockdowns. Many red states did nothing or almost nothing.
That's why Covid searched in those red states.
I am very open to 'alternate news', but I found the sources, claiming the things you are referring to, to be even more unreliable than your corporate media.
Some 'alternate news' is suppressed by Google, I know. I can still find it with other search engines. I have seen those sites and was astounded by the amount of ridiculous anti-science, pro-pseudo-science bullshit propaganda on there. Anyone who is able to believe that, has a screw loose.
Your media is corrupt, they do what their corporate owners want them to do. There still exists independent media, but you just need to know how to find it and how to investigate their funding sources. If the site carries banners of herbal extracts or essential oils against Covid, you immediately know they are actual 'fake news'. Other sources take some more research.
(Research means 'systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions')
I have investigated many truly independent sources. They were accurate with
the concerns about the vaccines and they are now accurate in the risk/benefit assessment. There are risks with taking the vaccines, but they are tiny, even though often (a little) uncomfortable. In any case, the risks of Covid are much higher. I know this is true, because I can corroborate the news with REALITY. Everything I see and hear around me, from sane people, supports the data.
Every time I investigate claims, from for instance my bone head brother-in-law, who doesn't believe viruses exist, it fails under even the slightest scrutiny.
You're the one believing easily refutable lies.
A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors. I would add; against all odds.
Covid was the enemy. Your country asked you to do your duty; stay at home,
take hygiene precautions, wear a mask and vaccinate.
Right-wingers failed to protect the country and a million citizens died.
The cost of some minor risks and inconveniences was too high.
Because you think the country asking you to do your duty is control.
This really isn't a personal attack however one of your last assertions brought a big ol' smile to my face, it's sentence that reads; "Everything I see and hear around me, from sane people, supports the data."
Now you have qualified yourself to be able to sort out and determine the sane people and those that are not. It must be good to be you.
It's not that hard. Facts exist. Insanity, irrationality, is believing claims that are verifiably, logically and/or factually wrong.
It only takes one verifiable falsity, for any claim, to prove it incorrect.
People who hang on to an incorrect claim are either dishonest or irrational.
People who hang on to many incorrect claims and reject verifiable facts
are in my opinion not (completely) 'sane'.
I regard all people to be 'sane', until they have given ample signs they are not.
My brother in law is a good example. He hangs around with and believes a lot of the claims of people who believe the government is trying to enslave, hurt and kill as many people as they can, because of overpopulation, by using the vaccines as timed 'suicide pills' and that the Clintons tried to worsen the floods in the south of our country, by keeping a hydroelectric power station closed and later opening it to achieve maximum damage. He sends us videos where Bill Gates supposedly admits the vaccines are intended to do genocide in Africa. He thinks there is some sort of disease, but he thinks 5G is connected with it. He believes Covid is just a coverup for the people being killed by the state.
He attended protests, but found the protesters to be untrustworthy, crazy fanatics, but that hasn't helped him to understand that the ideas are crazy.
If you think his ideas are 'sane', then sorry, you are not 'sane'.
My mother in law was scheduled for a knee operation this week. My brother in law visited last week, while he had a cough and runny nose for weeks. She didn't like that much, but didn't confront him about it. Not a week later she started to feel pretty awful. She knew she would not be accepted in the hospital with signs of Covid, so she did a home test, which was positive. Now her operation has been reschedules to May. She was very nervous about the operation and now sees it postponed. My girlfriend had to reschedule her care leave. Her superiors were not amused with it in the first place and were annoyed they again need to reschedule the team. But, to not anger my brother in law everyone accepts it and doesn't even ask him to do a test. He is a plumber and probably goes from customer to customer infecting everyone.
I hope all the old, frail ones are vaccinated. He might be the carrier of death
for some of them. Unfortunately, he gets crazy when we talk about anything connected to Covid, so we don't anymore. Otherwise he's a good lad.
Phart, why are you comparing lockdowns to vaccines? It doesn’t matter. When you get down to what matters, no one is forcing you or anyone else to get vaccinated. It’s your choice. As long as you realize that your choice has consequences you can do as you like. One thing I would like to know is what life changing event happened as a result of getting vaccinated. Did his balls get permanently swollen? Did he become sterile? Does he have ED now? Please tell us and provide proof, please.
Agreed, people give their personal examples, without any evidence the health issue is actually related to the vaccines. Simultaneously people claim a positively tested person dying of suffocation in the hospital, died of underlying problems and not the Covid infection that destroyed their lungs and arteries.
The government does coverups, that is true. But everyone knows several people who died of Covid and personal stories about very impactful health issues that are clearly caused by the vaccines are rare and often unreliable. If there is a tendency to distort the facts, I have seen it to a much greater extend from the right-wing media than from the government.
My dad and his girlfriend went to the same "shanty town" vaccine clinic in a old shopping mall parking lot.Got their booster jab from the same old huzzy. The next day both noticed their fingers going numb or "asleep". Turns out their dr's confirmed the shot was given to high up on the arm and resulted in nerve damage.In other words,good thing my dad is left handed as his right is about useless.
in these 2 particular situations I am aware of yes.
That is a gripe the provac folks tend to ignore,the burger flipper turned "nurse" giving the shots. DOCTORS and NURSES should be giving the shots.NOT burger flippers.
It didn't look that difficult when I got the shot. They could give me some information, show it to me three times, then let me do it under supervision three times and I would be perfectly confident to do it.
Nurses were a 'bit busy' at that time, trying to keep the tsunami of
Covid patients from dying.
Actually, I'm not that pro-vaccine. I've never gotten a flu shot.
I'm just pro-health. I consider the risks and rewards and decide.
In a deadly global pandemic, I tend to be less picky.
Did you know it was the worst pandemic in US history, already in September 2021? It surpassed the death toll from the 1918 Spanish flu (675,000 people).

You mean this one? "Like, why don't they have like white history month and like, why don't they celebrate straight pride? You know? Why aren't they more inclusive?"
'white history month' sounds like thanksgiving. In the time that was introduced,
black people certainly had no reason to say thanks for what was given to them.
'straight pride'? Do we need a day to fight for equal rights for straight people and
against the shame and social stigma that straight people face each day?
But, if you want to have a 'white history month' or 'straight pride' display in your store,
I guess that is your free speech right and I won't even come in to complain about it.
There should be a month for the hispanics ,the Native Americans,the white people, and don't forget the Chinese that were brought over to build railroads, they deserve a month to.
There should NEVER have been a month set aside for any particular race of people.it is discrimination. Plain and simple.
Straight people are hated, let a straight business owner decide not to serve a same sex couple and see what happens. Instead of simply calling the next number in the fucking phone book the couple sues.
It is hatred plain and simple.
So it's discrimination if people celebrate black history month, but you don't think it's discrimination when a straight business owner decides not to serve a same sex couple?
Celebrating something does not impact anyone else, not serving people impacts those people.
Since we don't have it, I can't comment much on it, but it sounds like a good idea to widen the scope of black history month a bit, to include other previously subjugated minorities. The natives sure deserve something like it, they were almost completely genocided. The Chinese were obviously treated poorly, but they at least made their own choice to come to the US. So, sure, lets give them a day, not more. If there were any other immigrants treated just as poorly, lets give them a day as well. There were obviously also white people suffering in the new found lands, but they suffered by the hands of other white people. Can't have day for that. That would fill up the year too fast. The Incas cut out each others hearts. A little much to give them a day for that.
But the descendants of the Spanish who invaded South America should have at least
a day to commemorate all the indigenous people they wiped out.
I'm would support Keti Koti to be more broadly recognized and implemented.
That doesn't mean you are forced to participate in any of it.
You're not forcing Christmas on anyone, right?
When Martin Luther King day was made a Federal holiday that meant we would be off that day from work. BUT we lost Memorial day as a day off because of it.We didn't gain a day.
I politely ask the boss if I could come to work that day anyway right in front of my coworkers.I felt Memorial Day was more important. They all laughed and the boss said no,he couldn't authorize overtime for that. I honestly considered going to my work place and stand at the gate holding a sign," I want to work today".
So Christmas is a federal holiday,mlk day is also, so both are forced on us as you put it.
Why is it discrimination to not serve 1 person over another?
When there is more than 1 place a service can be had? If there was only 1 cake maker in the US, sure it might be a issue. But to sue over something like that when there is dozens of other sources for the same service is simply making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just post on face book to all the friend that this place wouldn't serve us and let it be.
"Why is it discrimination to not serve 1 person over another?"
It's discrimination when people are denied service, because of their identity group.
And ones religion is not an exemption to allow the discrimination of others.
Google 'definition of discrimination'
It's under the Equal Protection Clause, which is part of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. Denying someone service because of their race, sex, national origin or religion is discrimination by law.
Political views are not a protected class, so if people deny you service for being
a right-winger, that is not discrimination by law. Because you have a choice.
liberalizm at it's "best".

That's why Covid searched in those red states.
I am very open to 'alternate news', but I found the sources, claiming the things you are referring to, to be even more unreliable than your corporate media.
Some 'alternate news' is suppressed by Google, I know. I can still find it with other search engines. I have seen those sites and was astounded by the amount of ridiculous anti-science, pro-pseudo-science bullshit propaganda on there. Anyone who is able to believe that, has a screw loose.
Your media is corrupt, they do what their corporate owners want them to do. There still exists independent media, but you just need to know how to find it and how to investigate their funding sources. If the site carries banners of herbal extracts or essential oils against Covid, you immediately know they are actual 'fake news'. Other sources take some more research.
(Research means 'systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions')
I have investigated many truly independent sources. They were accurate with
the concerns about the vaccines and they are now accurate in the risk/benefit assessment. There are risks with taking the vaccines, but they are tiny, even though often (a little) uncomfortable. In any case, the risks of Covid are much higher. I know this is true, because I can corroborate the news with REALITY. Everything I see and hear around me, from sane people, supports the data.
Every time I investigate claims, from for instance my bone head brother-in-law, who doesn't believe viruses exist, it fails under even the slightest scrutiny.
You're the one believing easily refutable lies.
A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors. I would add; against all odds.
Covid was the enemy. Your country asked you to do your duty; stay at home,
take hygiene precautions, wear a mask and vaccinate.
Right-wingers failed to protect the country and a million citizens died.
The cost of some minor risks and inconveniences was too high.
Because you think the country asking you to do your duty is control.
Now you have qualified yourself to be able to sort out and determine the sane people and those that are not. It must be good to be you.
It only takes one verifiable falsity, for any claim, to prove it incorrect.
People who hang on to an incorrect claim are either dishonest or irrational.
People who hang on to many incorrect claims and reject verifiable facts
are in my opinion not (completely) 'sane'.
I regard all people to be 'sane', until they have given ample signs they are not.
My brother in law is a good example. He hangs around with and believes a lot of the claims of people who believe the government is trying to enslave, hurt and kill as many people as they can, because of overpopulation, by using the vaccines as timed 'suicide pills' and that the Clintons tried to worsen the floods in the south of our country, by keeping a hydroelectric power station closed and later opening it to achieve maximum damage. He sends us videos where Bill Gates supposedly admits the vaccines are intended to do genocide in Africa. He thinks there is some sort of disease, but he thinks 5G is connected with it. He believes Covid is just a coverup for the people being killed by the state.
He attended protests, but found the protesters to be untrustworthy, crazy fanatics, but that hasn't helped him to understand that the ideas are crazy.
If you think his ideas are 'sane', then sorry, you are not 'sane'.
My mother in law was scheduled for a knee operation this week. My brother in law visited last week, while he had a cough and runny nose for weeks. She didn't like that much, but didn't confront him about it. Not a week later she started to feel pretty awful. She knew she would not be accepted in the hospital with signs of Covid, so she did a home test, which was positive. Now her operation has been reschedules to May. She was very nervous about the operation and now sees it postponed. My girlfriend had to reschedule her care leave. Her superiors were not amused with it in the first place and were annoyed they again need to reschedule the team. But, to not anger my brother in law everyone accepts it and doesn't even ask him to do a test. He is a plumber and probably goes from customer to customer infecting everyone.
I hope all the old, frail ones are vaccinated. He might be the carrier of death
for some of them. Unfortunately, he gets crazy when we talk about anything connected to Covid, so we don't anymore. Otherwise he's a good lad.
The government does coverups, that is true. But everyone knows several people who died of Covid and personal stories about very impactful health issues that are clearly caused by the vaccines are rare and often unreliable. If there is a tendency to distort the facts, I have seen it to a much greater extend from the right-wing media than from the government.
That is a gripe the provac folks tend to ignore,the burger flipper turned "nurse" giving the shots. DOCTORS and NURSES should be giving the shots.NOT burger flippers.
Nurses were a 'bit busy' at that time, trying to keep the tsunami of
Covid patients from dying.
Actually, I'm not that pro-vaccine. I've never gotten a flu shot.
I'm just pro-health. I consider the risks and rewards and decide.
In a deadly global pandemic, I tend to be less picky.
Did you know it was the worst pandemic in US history, already in September 2021? It surpassed the death toll from the 1918 Spanish flu (675,000 people).

Good questions< I would like to hear the answers.
'white history month' sounds like thanksgiving. In the time that was introduced,
black people certainly had no reason to say thanks for what was given to them.
'straight pride'? Do we need a day to fight for equal rights for straight people and
against the shame and social stigma that straight people face each day?
But, if you want to have a 'white history month' or 'straight pride' display in your store,
I guess that is your free speech right and I won't even come in to complain about it.
There should NEVER have been a month set aside for any particular race of people.it is discrimination. Plain and simple.
Straight people are hated, let a straight business owner decide not to serve a same sex couple and see what happens. Instead of simply calling the next number in the fucking phone book the couple sues.
It is hatred plain and simple.
Celebrating something does not impact anyone else, not serving people impacts those people.
Since we don't have it, I can't comment much on it, but it sounds like a good idea to widen the scope of black history month a bit, to include other previously subjugated minorities. The natives sure deserve something like it, they were almost completely genocided. The Chinese were obviously treated poorly, but they at least made their own choice to come to the US. So, sure, lets give them a day, not more. If there were any other immigrants treated just as poorly, lets give them a day as well. There were obviously also white people suffering in the new found lands, but they suffered by the hands of other white people. Can't have day for that. That would fill up the year too fast. The Incas cut out each others hearts. A little much to give them a day for that.
But the descendants of the Spanish who invaded South America should have at least
a day to commemorate all the indigenous people they wiped out.
I'm would support Keti Koti to be more broadly recognized and implemented.
That doesn't mean you are forced to participate in any of it.
You're not forcing Christmas on anyone, right?
I politely ask the boss if I could come to work that day anyway right in front of my coworkers.I felt Memorial Day was more important. They all laughed and the boss said no,he couldn't authorize overtime for that. I honestly considered going to my work place and stand at the gate holding a sign," I want to work today".
So Christmas is a federal holiday,mlk day is also, so both are forced on us as you put it.
Why is it discrimination to not serve 1 person over another?
When there is more than 1 place a service can be had? If there was only 1 cake maker in the US, sure it might be a issue. But to sue over something like that when there is dozens of other sources for the same service is simply making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just post on face book to all the friend that this place wouldn't serve us and let it be.
It's discrimination when people are denied service, because of their identity group.
And ones religion is not an exemption to allow the discrimination of others.
Google 'definition of discrimination'
It's under the Equal Protection Clause, which is part of the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. Denying someone service because of their race, sex, national origin or religion is discrimination by law.
Political views are not a protected class, so if people deny you service for being
a right-winger, that is not discrimination by law. Because you have a choice.
