That guy is right. This is something I was just discussing with my black friend, gay friend, trans friend, Asian friend, handicapped friend, non-binary friend, female friend, and whacky right wing next door neighbor. Hollywood shows really need to do more to show "authentic" circles of friends like mine.

This white supremacy is out of fucking control!
Ok, it's still fine to drive through campus playing music that contains that word, right?On Friday, a faculty meeting included a discussion about whether to voluntarily bar racial epithets from being spoken in class, even if citing legal documents verbatim, as Lopez has requested be done.
“I share the views of several of our faculty members who understand and express to their students that this language is hateful and can be triggering, even in the context of a case, and ask that it not be used,” he wrote in an email to the school community soon after the petition began circulating.
At least there's some logic in play...“Although we all deplore the use of racist epithets,” said Gary L. Francione, a law professor who also signed the statement, “the idea that a faculty member or law student cannot quote a published court decision that itself quotes a racial or other otherwise objectionable word as part of the record of the case is problematic and implicates matters of academic freedom and free speech.”
If they don't keep us divided, we might notice the real enemies in DC.
Funny you say that as I originally included that in my post.
Robert Collier says that during the seven years he worked as an operating room aide at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, white nurses called him and other Black employees “boy." Management ignored two large swastikas painted on a storage room wall. And for six months, he regularly rode an elevator with the N-word carved into a wall.
First of all, I think Collier should have won his case based on that first quoted section alone. As management you cannot control an individual's actions, but you can certainly order the removal of a swastika or racial slur written on a wall.Focusing on the elevator graffiti, Collier is asking the justices to decide whether a single use of the N-word in the workplace can create a hostile work environment, giving an employee the ability to pursue a case under Title VII of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The crime scene investigation, the FBI said, revealed a physical altercation took place between Long and her assailants before the fire started. The agency reported the suspects stole a Beretta handgun, an AK-47-style rifle, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, a green safe and jade figurine.
McGraw said there are no known suspects.
I mean, how can one argue this isn't a hate crime? All the evidence points to...well, a robbery involving unknown suspects with unknown motives. Hate crime!The FBI's Denver office didn't say which form of bias is being investigated in Long's case. The agency defines a hate crime as criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by the offender's bias against a religion, disability, ethnicity/national origin, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity.
So had this poor girl been white, nobody would care about her death and additional money and resources to solve her murder would be denied. Call me crazy, but that seems pretty racist.Park County Sheriff Tom McGraw, whose office is also investigating the murder, said treating the case as a hate crime allows his department to qualify for more funding and resources.
