IIRC there was a disgusting malt liquor called âMidnight Dragonâ or âDouble Dragonâ or something like that. Even the hard-core cheap beer drinkers found it gross. When someone pulled out one of those there was a huge commotion

The lesson plan released as part of the documents request prompts students to analyze and respond to some of Coatesâ arguments in the book. Instructions include âDescribe Coatesâ primary statement regarding identity and your position about his argument,â âDescribe your understanding of systemic racism,â and âDo you think racism is a pervasive problem in America? Why or why not?
âŚ
But the class didnât get far in its assessment of the National Book Award winner, after at least some students expressed discomfort with two short videos played in class as preparation for the book: âThe Unequal Opportunity Raceâ and âSystemic Racism Explained
Hearing (Woodâs) opinion and watching these videos made me feel uncomfortable,â one unnamed student wrote to a school board member after the class. âI actually felt ashamed to be Caucasian⌠These videos portrayed an inaccurate description of life from past centuries that she is trying to resurface. I donât feel as though it is right because these videos showed antiquated history. I understand in AP Lang, we are learning to develop an argument and have evidence to support it, yet this topic is too heavy to discuss
âI was incredibly uncomfortable throughout both videos, and was in shock that she would do something illegal like that,â the student wrote, adding parenthetically âI am pretty sure a teacher talking about systemic racism is illegal in South Carolina.â
The irony is when I read Coatesâ book, I found it to be a lot more nuanced than his critics made it out to be. For instance thereâs a part where he starts mentally taking refuge in black nationalism and in black history. Thereâs a story about an African queen that when she meets the Dutch uses backs of her servants as stairs to get down from her palanquin, an obvious symbol of her power. Coates uses it as a symbol about how powerful Africans where before the slave trade left African Americans in a lesser state. One of his Howard professors slyly asked him âWho do you think you would would have most likely been if you were alive back then, the African queen or the servant whose back she was stepping on?â

I mean, this country would be better if more people felt ashamed to be CaucasianâŚ
Everyone thinks this is funny because she murdered someone, but itâs completely fucked that all this info is logged somewhere.
Sounds like youâve got something to hide
Damn, didnât know that was you. Been following forever
Have not checked the validity of these numbers but if correct this blows my mind.
Tldr: it wouldnât even take every church in America to help one foster kid and one homeless person to end both! There are more churches than both classes of people.
Lol religion.
Maybe itâs LOL everyone else, since everyone else gives even less than the religious

Ultimately itâs just lol capitalismâs allocation of resources, and lol the fucked up myth that weâd have less gross resources if we didnât have capitalismâs fucked up allocations
Letâs just say if you plan to travel somewhere and do something, like even a mile away, best not to have a phone on you.
Between phones and genealogical DNA cops have to be pretty apathetic not to solve crimes.

More than half the shelter spaces are supplied by religious organizations. I think the government supplies almost all the rest. Where are any secular groups doing anything? Food-not-Bombs is great of course, but itâs a tiny organization.
Probably random individuals are undercounted - not counted at all though.
