Since I don't want to be convinced that differences in outcome are proof of racism, I see a lot fewer signs of racism in today’s culture.
Fixed it for you. I also disagree that CRT implies, much less declares, that our founding documents and principles are so flawed that racism can never be fixed. CRT quite rightly shows in those documents and the systems springing from them how racism shaped, and still shapes the nation. CRT also invites us to make changes to eliminate those flaws. Its like how the 13th Amendment corrected the evil of counting blacks as only 3/5ths of a person. That was never meant to be the end of the discussion, but a significant necessary step.
I'll just leave this right here, since pointing it out means I'm tossing venom into the public sphere and contributing to the demise of society:
A Manhattan restaurant where Sarah Palin was spotted dining indoors while unvaccinated over the weekend confirmed that the former Alaska governor returned to dine outdoors on Wednesday, just a few days after testing positive tor Covid.
At issue are current local guidelines that advise people who tested positive to remain in isolation for five days after their positive test.
Palin, who is in Manhattan for her defamation trial against the New York Times, tested positive for Covid-19, a federal judge presiding over her case said Monday, delaying the start of the trial. It's unclear what day Palin first tested positive.
"She is, of course, unvaccinated," said US District Judge Jed Rakoff Monday, according to Reuters.
So how do you propose we attacked the venom of racism and sexism without talking about and describing racism and sexism? That's what the CRT fight is about - don't talk about America's racial history and how it influences todays society.
The GOP only struggled with Bork because members of his party voted against him after he was given full hearings in Committee. Democrats struggled with Garland because the GOP didn't even conduct hearings, much less a floor vote. Apples and ice cubes.
Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee is withholding $110,000 of funding from the Madison County Library System allegedly on the basis of his personal religious beliefs, with library officials stating that he has demanded that the system initiate a purge of LGBTQ+ books before his office releases the money.
We've gamed that out in at least three other threads. He won't switch parties because even in WV, he's not right wing enough to survive a primary challenge. He wants to stay in the senate, and that requires running where he is. Heritage Action gives him a 20% lifetime conservative score.
I'm not sure what those would be. Republicans control none of the committees in the Senate, so they can't deny them hearings as they did Garland. McConnell also quietly did away with blue slips under Trump, so even if the nominees is from a Republican state that person's senators can't object publicly. I can't find anything on whether a senator can pocket hold a supreme court justice like they can a cabinet appointment, but I don't so since McConnell's nominees would have been held by Democrats.
I may be missing something, but I think McConnell's maneuvers the last few years may have backed him into a corner.
The term usually ends late June to July depending on the docket. Thanks to Mitch McConnell if all 50 Democrats are in line there's nothing the Republicans can do to block the appointment. Biden is probably going to get a nominee to the Senate in the next month or less, and Judiciary will hold hearings expeditiously.
But let’s also be real about the boundaries of what is today called Ukraine. Its been changing hands between different powers for 1000 years, and has multiple times in the last 100.

They got a few decades to turn it into something more sustainable and coherent but have not been able to do it.
indeed you are - and those out there answer result in tax policies that favor the upper end of the spectrum but actually harm most Americans long run . . . as but one example.
Yes I'd like to see the peer reviewed science. I know from extensive career history, however, that many parts of the federal apparatus are prohibited legally from sharing proprietary data, and I suspect that prohibition is playing a part here. Regeneron and Eli Lilly will make decisions about sharing science based on corporate policy. If there's university or independent clinic data we may yet see it.
I think this is more a case of be patient then "there's something nefarious going on."
The middle 60% of U.S. households by income -- a measure economists often use as a definition of the middle class -- saw their combined assets drop to 26.6% of national wealth as of June, the lowest in Federal Reserve data going back three decades. For the first time, the super rich had a bigger share, at 27%.
nearly 96.1 percent of the 1.2 million households in the top one percent by income were white, a total of about 1,150,000 households. In addition, these families were found to have a median net asset worth of $8.3 million.
No I don't think its particularly surprising. I do think is unethical at best to advocate for such a system, and then turn around and blame the people below you on the economic ladder for not climbing higher while you repeatedly kick them down.
And I think the rich folks need to be reminded periodically that history tells us that eventually the peasants come for them with pitchforks and torches.
Given the continued declines in unemployment in the US and the continued job growth we see - albeit sporadic these days - I'd say the leftists have noting to worry about. Of course, it needs to be noted that the Biden Administration - as economic neoliberals - isn't leftist by any definition. Just left of the ultra conservative GOP.
Somehow that comment got botched. Clearly I didn't have enough coffee in me when I wrote it.
The APA article I linked here pulls together a lot of peer reviewed research into socio-economic status and race. And it reinforces the notion that the Wharton kids - as one example - have misleading understandings of the link between race and class as much as anything else. Perpetuating those misleading understandings drives failed attempts to resolve socioeconomic inequality, which includes intergenerational wealth, educational opportunity and attainment, and the ability of a person to rise up the economic ladder.
Clearer?
I made no political statement about Wharton students. I didn't look at their politics. Their demographics suggest a good portion would at least be economic conservatives, wholeheartedly supporting lassiez faire capitalism.
And liberals generally support tax credits because we actually know what the median income is in the US, we read wealth statistics, and we see few other ways besides pitchforks to improve the economic conditions of the vast majority of Americans.
I am pointing at Wharton as an example, not as the only source of the problem. I suspect one could make the case about a great many Ivy's, as well as a lot of Research 1 universities elsewhere, like the University of Miami. Wharton, afterall, is a part of the University of Pennsylvania (which last I checked is a public research1 uni).
