Read the Books That Schools Want to Ban
Texas State Representative Matt Krause recently put more than 800 books on a watch list, many of them dealing with race and LGBTQ issues. Then an Oklahoma state senator filed a bill to ban books that address “sexual perversion,” among other things, from school libraries. The school board of McMinn County, Tennessee, just banned Maus, Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic memoir about the Holocaust. Officials said that they didn’t object to teaching about genocide, but that the book’s profanity, nudity, violence, and depiction of suicide made it “too adult-oriented for use in our schools.”

Video of Joe Biden Saying the N-Word at a Senate Hearing Has Been Circulating — Here’s the Full Story
Referring to the court case in which the plan was struck down, Biden said “As to the Governor, the Court concluded, quote: ‘The Governor’s opposition to the Nunez plan was predicated in significant part on his delineation of a majority black district centered in Orleans Par-rish.'”

Biden then added “And in confidential portions of your staff memo, they brought to your attention the allegation that an important legislator in defeating the Nunez plan in the basement said, quote: ‘We already have a n****r mayor; we don’t need another n****r big-shot.'”

If you believe that tweet you are lacking some serious critical evaluation of online content. It has all the hallmarks of total BS. Out of context, cuts off quickly. Never brought up during the campaign for presidency in which it would have been easy fodder. If it were true you would just play that on an ad over and over and over and win.

On June 5, 1985, Biden — who was then a U.S. Senator representing Delaware and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee — was questioning William Bradford Reynolds, the assistant U.S. attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, who had recently been nominated by President Ronald Reagan for promotion to associate attorney general.

Biden opposed Reynolds’ nomination on the grounds that Reynolds “had pursued a conservative political agenda and had shown contempt for civil rights laws,” particularly by opposing a redistricting plan (i.e., the “Nunez plan”) that would have eliminated gerrymandering to create a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana, and by ignoring racist comments issued by the state’s lawmakers.

During a committee hearing on Reynolds’ nomination, Biden pointed out that Reynolds had approved a redistricting plan that favored Republicans over the state’s Black residents, and that Reynolds had been made aware, via a memo from his staff, that legislators who opposed the Nunez plan had engaged in making racially disparaging comments. It was in that context, then, that Biden confronted Reynolds by reading out loud portions of the memo detailing racial slurs used by Louisiana legislators: “[Your staff] brought to your attention the allegation that important legislators in defeating the Nunez plan, in the basement, said, ‘We already have a n—– mayor [in New Orleans], we don’t need any more n—– big shots.’”
It's a video of Biden quoting Republican memo. I actually don't care about the party stuff but since the whole tweet uses this for political points It's worth pointing out that it was Biden attacking racist Republicans who had been supported via gerrymandering from a Republican nominee by Republican president.

I think he's doing about the same as the guy before him, and the guy before that.
Yeah you do, because you're a simpleton.

They're all flawed, none of them is your perfect ideal President who can never even exist in the real world........ so therefore they are all exactly the same, and there's effectively no difference at all between any of them and everything proceeds just the same no matter who's in charge.

Just that simple, right? For a simpleton, yes it is.

Hey man, this is a discussion board.

He posts his opinions freely, as we all do. He is free to tell me what a dick I am, there's no problem there. I can respond to his opinions that he volunteers on this discussion board.

He wants to permaban me because I respond dismissively to his one-atom-deep political platitudes that he can't expand on, and because I'm not interested in this public forum being a little circle jerk club for ten guys who met online a decade ago and that's all it should ever be in any thread? That's fine, permaban me for not fitting into the cool kid's online gossip group. I'll recover and continue on with my life just fine. It's an Internet discussion forum. Not really serious business, eh? All of us are just random mutts yapping into the void, after all. :smile:

When I get insulted, who can I ban? All I ever say, is that this guy is a shallow, binary and juvenile thinker when it comes to politics. Which he is. I'm not interested in trashing his character or personality or life beyond that. He's not my sworn enemy, I hope he's doing well for himself. If there was a meet in NZ I'd happily shake his hand, smile and ask if he prefers to drink or smoke. Then I'd want to learn about living and growing up in Canada, most likely.

You will see that in the interactions that I am rudest towards him, it is inevitably because I'm frustrated after repeatedly asking him to expand on or follow up on our clarify statements that he himself volunteered in a thread. Which he is terrible at doing, with anyone.

Well, this is a discussion board.
