@sonhouse saidSCOTUS simply need to enforce what the Constitution actually says, which may be to fix earlier decisions, just as Separate but Equal was overturned.
@Eladar
You never answered my question whether a POTUS needs empathy, and I see now you will NEVER answer that question since you have no idea what empathy actually is and how important it is to have empathy as POTUS.
You can't even admit Trump has zero empathy.
Much like you.
POTUS needs to appoint Sumpreme court justices who will do exactly that.
@sonhouse saidBoth GW and Trump have appointed judges that will vote with the liberals. They appointed judges who will vote liberal, but Dems only appoint judges that vote liberal.
@Eladar
You mean instead of what we have now, 6 ultrarightwingnut judges forced in by Moscow Mitch. There will be a special place in hell for that dude.
I wish we had 6 ultra right wing nut job judges, 6 Scalias would protect this country. But hey, we have what we have, so you should be happy.

are slowly pushing for its return.
I just read an article the other day how an educator was complaining that black
students should not have to learn by established white culture methodology,
they should be allowed to learn by their own cultural methods.
So naturally, the white people will then say the same thing for their side. Now what?
Separate classes or even separate schools. There ya go.
That's why I call them moon bats.
@earl-of-trumps saidWell, that is framing it like a massive issue.

And I have to agree, some of these flakes are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
The real issue is:
Malcolm X: good guy or bad?
BLM: terrorist or equal rights group?
Now, obviously, true education doesn’t tell you good or bad or label such entities. It gives you facts, opinions of the times and context, and teaches you to make up your own mind.
However, if the education system is telling black kids that Jesus was white, Malcolm X was a criminal and the consequences of political decision making over the last 150 years has no effect on their current poverty levels, that is something that needs to be addressed.
And as with all things with swings and roundabouts, it swings one way wildly, then the other... until eventually settling down into rational normality.
And when people are in a resistant mode, the more pressure you put on them, the more they dig their heels in.

@eladar saidCurrent population of the USA: 330,533,796
What is the US population?
How many people have died in the US during this time period?
https://www.census.gov/popclock/
Current death toll in the USA due to corona: 230,995
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu
Or in percent:
230995 is 0.069% of 330533796
The current population of New Zealand is 4,835,327
Deaths in NZ due to corona: 25
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/new-zealand/
Or in percent:
25 is 0.000517% of 4835327
America could have been where NZ is now, had Trump acted soon and consistently and on expert advice, and had Americans not been encouraged to make a stink about wearing masks.
@moonbus saidSo you are saying only a very small portion of the population have been killed by covid, mostly 75 year olds or older who are not in the best health to begin with.

@shavixmir saidI can assure you, kids are being taught that Malcom X was a great hero. And he was.

Malcom X once aligned with black Muslim separatists. Then he changed, and his
erstwhile allies killed him. So he went down fighting separate but equal.
Maybe the new WOKE critters will tear his statues down now.
@earl-of-trumps saidYou have a strange methodology of claiming every idea that you don't like is being pushed by "Democrats" even if there is absolutely zero basis for such a claim.
"Separate but Equal" may have gotten overturned but the Democrats right now

@Duchess64 - A fairer comparison would be between the USA and Canada.
Oh yeah, that's real fair.
America's population density is about 10 times that of Canada. Yup. "fair".

@eladar saidSo you want to go back to the thrilling days of America in 1789?
SCOTUS simply need to enforce what the Constitution actually says, which may be to fix earlier decisions, just as Separate but Equal was overturned.

When white men were alone at the top of the dung heap, and women could not vote, and blacks were property?
Ummmm, no.
@earl-of-trumps saidCanada's racial demographics are much different. Only about 3 percent of Canadians are of African heritage.
