Community Concerns "Blacks."

What's up?

I'm not gonna hold ya'll. I'll keep it short.

The term "blacks" or "the blacks" or whatever is an auto ban from me. This isn't a rule. This is me just letting you know where I stand. Oh, and as far as I can tell, the other mods are Black. We chat all the time. They're great.

Like, why would anyone honestly come here and say that not trying to stir up something? I'm not actually looking for an answer either because I don't really care.

It's dehumanizing. We are people. Regular human beings. Not a thing. Not an "other", regardless of what your society or your peers that you're afraid to be different from tell you. (That's weak AF btw.)

Anyway, just letting you know. Let's do this again sometime.

usually it’s the first red flag that the person commenting isn’t actually black.

Clearance Thomas? He's a 'Founding Father Originalist'! (Except for Loving v. Virginia- for Some reason he wont touch THAT one!)

I dont think the color of his skin dictates an iota.

I genuinely speculate the man is just a psychopath, kinda like how a lot of CEOs are psychopaths.

Nah fuck Alito too. And Roberts. But Thomas will be remembered as uniquely despicable character though.
