Either way,she was not on the winning end.
Being quite and voting no mighta been a better step if she felt the person was not qualified.
Jobs should be filled by qualification,not color.I think it is "afirmitive action" Until that is no longer a factor in hiring,there will be problems.
af·firm·a·tive ac·tion
"(in the context of the allocation of resources or employment) the practice or policy of favoring individuals belonging to groups known to have been discriminated against previously.
I might be sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee when a butt ugly baby goes by. Is it my place to gasp and say that that is the ugliest baby that I've ever seen? After all, it is the truth in "my world". Just MY OPINION, we need to be cautious about speaking the truth because it can reveal just how insensitive or stoooopid we really are.
In the case of the ugly baby, either don't acknowledge the baby or say, Well he has your eyes! or something like that.
In the case of the mayor,we know the climate right now,and had she made a no vote,she would have caught hell about it.

So a duvet is a fancy name for the mattress cover
I've spent HUNDREDS of dollars on what I think is a good goose down comforter and a duvet protects my investment.
Mine is goose down and I did have it dry cleaned once.

As regards his response to the pandemic, there is now no argument against the proposition that El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago is a world-historical barbarian motherfcker. Some of the malfeasance and nonfeasance for which he will be remembered can be attributed to his own uniquely corruption and his own towering incompetence. But his response to the worst public health crisis in a century is of a different order of magnitude. Historians of the future are going to rank him in this regard with Genghis Khan in Persia, King Leopold of Belgium in the Congo, Stalin’s engineered famines in Ukraine, and Charles Trevelyan’s supervision of the Great Famine in Ireland. Deliberately and for his own tawdry political purposes, he has failed utterly in his duty and north of 100,000 Americans already have died.
This person, ANGEL1227 is a gotdamn moron, PERIOD!
Reader's discretion is strongly advised
Sad,fraud.Just Fraud.
You have to understand,the common person does not have any way to protect themselves or family from this fraud.YOu can't even visit your family in the nursing home,you have no way of knowing what is going on right now with them.
The author went a little overboard, but, numbers don't lie. Even if only half is attributed to Trumpo, that still makes him a mass murderer.
BTW, when are you going to learn to argue with facts and not insults? AS YOU SAID, "READER'S DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVICED," FOOL
I found that 100% of the people were pissed when the tent fell on them.
Now that's funny!

Also, is racism really a white problem?

The film is out, in a limited way, later this month and then there's a more general, cinematic release later in the year.
I'm not quite sure what you mean with your second question - I would, however, observe that (for me anyway) racism is a problem for everybody. If I've missed the point - feel free to correct me!
The very first paragraph in the first link you provided reads; "We were trying to get people to understand racism as a white problem,” says Kate Webb, an early member of the Rock Against Racism movement, which emerged in 1976 in protest at the white supremacist attitudes of the then fast-growing National Front.
Maybe I missed the point of what I read.
I guess (or hope) she meant that, as now, addressing racism takes effort from all of us. Back in the 70s the UK was openly racist, as I can attest, and getting a movement together that fought for equality was probably as problematic as it is now. The dominant majority (ie. white Brits) needed to get involved if real change was to happen.
I can also say that it was an exciting time to live through!
Just curious, do you notice an obvious ebb and flow to those issues in your country, too? For example... Here in the United States, we ONLY have racial divisions and issues, ironically, every 4 years just before an upcoming election. It's been like this for some time, here, you could almost set your clock to it (figuratively). Have you noticed anything similar in the U.K.?
I would say that, anecdotally, the upsurges in racial tensions are NOT strongly linked to the electoral cycle over here. Like elsewhere, headline-grabbing incidents seem to be more of a catalyst. The Stephen Lawrence case springs to mind, as a fairly recent example. We also saw a spike in hate crimes after we voted to leave the EU - many feel that racists were emboldened to act upon their xenophobia after that referendum.

I would also note that many of those incidents had ZERO proof of a racial component, other than the people involved simply being of different nationalities.
I wish I could take credit for a thought I recently heard, but I cannot. Perhaps it would be in the best interest for everyone, to send black officers to crimes where other blacks are involved. If a white officer encounters a crime being committed, i.e. during a traffic stop, immediately call in and request a black officer to respond to deal with the individual. I mean afterall, in order to minimize any sexual misconduct issues, nationwide, female officers are called in to handle female suspects. So, why not consider this? I absolutely do not believe there is such a massive problem with race relations between whites and blacks OR the Police and blacks. But if that possible solution would help stop some of this bullshit from being circulated within our society, then find a way to make it so!

One other note that has been discussed before, worth noting again.
There IS and will ALWAYS be a few shitheads in ANY given segment in our society. Whether it be the Police, Doctors/Nurses, Clergy, Teachers, Firefighters, Blacks, Whites, Asians, etc. There is NO absolute perfect grouping of people, anywhere. To believe that it's possible to weed out all these types of individuals from society is just foolish. Just as it's quite ignorant to label ALL blacks as miscreants and criminals it's equally as ignorant to suggest that all white people and or police are bad or "inherently racist".
If you have an RV or trailer that you were thinking of selling, now's the time!

What I have read is that some animals adopted during this quarantine are now being returned to the various shelters. It pisses me off that people consider animals as an "accessory" and a disposable item.
Funny, now that I think about it, there is an exclusive and independent RV park down the road. I'm not sure how they were able to operate outside of the quarantine mandate.
