What will be the impact of the courts decision today on Affirmative Action?

Should Apple Inc focus on Apples? Amazon Inc focus on the Amazon rainforest?

If they don’t then they are liars because their name indicates they should care about Apples and Amazon.

Just stop. You have already made fool enough of yourself without continuing to beat this silly comparison to death.

Did white dems vote for him?

Did black republicans vote for Obama? White republicans?

There are 40 million black people in the US. And according to the FBI in 2019… there were 4k arrests for murder.

Almost every time we hear a murder reported on TV it is a black man these days.

Everytime I hear about a mass shooting, its almost always a white guy.

The key words there are “hear about.” The media barely touches on the routine mass shootings in places like South Chicago and East St. Louis.

What was the race of the mass killer in Philadelphia the other day?

Ignorance of AA doesn’t mean people should judge someone based on solely their skin color.

That’s exactly what AA does. Race and gender. Intersectionality.

Solely?

Where does AA say that?

You keep saying that, but what other advantage does AA provide other than race?

Sex and Gender, ethnicity…

Sex and gender? I don’t think so. Schools may do that, but the intent of the concept is to include women in the category of “minority.”

And it’s national origin, not ethnicity. A black man who’s family is from Nigeria and who identifies as a woman ought to qualify for a full-ride scholarship, don’t ya think?

If you think it’s an internal issue, then focusing on what BLM inc is or isn’t doing is irrelevant.

…cept that their very name…“black lives matter” is a lie. If we’re going to address a problem, let’s not exacerbate it with liars leading the way and sheople blindly following like yourself.

And Apple Inc doesn’t focus on Apples. And Amazon inc doesn’t focus on the Amazon Forrest. Facebook doesn’t focus on faces or books. Target does focus on targets.

It’s almost like a company or business name doesn’t necessarily tell the whole story about their business charter.

C’mon man. Do you actually think that’s a valid comparison?

Of course.

He believes the name of an organization should also be their mission or charter. Can’t have a name like Apple and not be focused on the fruit. Right?

That’s ■■■■■■■■ and you know it. Apple and Amazon are businesses that sell goods and services to customers and never once gave anyone the impression that they sold Apples or Amazons (although one might be able to buy apples through Amazon) whereas BLM, which is not a consumer product business, has a very specific mission to (allegedly) make the lives of black people safer and better. There is nothing in their brochure about garnering wealth for the founders and top echelon.

Per year. And there were 21,500 murders in 2020 (to go with your 4,000 arrests. How many murders in gang or drug related shootouts are solved leading to an arrest, for example?) Finally, all of the murders each year presumably were not committed by same people each year.

You do the math.

4k is the number black people arrested for murder in 2019.
