So, in San Francisco...be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...
...Reparations are being considered:
. Payment of $5m to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years, and homes in San Francisco for just $1 per family.
An estimate from Stanford University's Hoover Institution, has said it would cost each non-Black family in the city at least $600,000.
Allegedly would cost $140 billion...when city's budget is $14 billion.
Wazzat, leftist accounting?

What about all the poverty-riddled, homesslessness-riddled, starving, White communities in America?
They never had a chance either.
They weren't/aren't even on the bottom rung of the ladder, they're still on the ground.

A quick defamation suit against Fox, and Lordy there are tapes, will net San Fran all it needs for reparations and clean energy and deescalation services and free health care for several generations. It will even send the next several hundred thousand asylum seekers through local colleges and universities.

Interesting.
Guns beat spears and the rich and powerful enslaved the poor and powerless.
It has ever been so.

Thomas Jefferson enslaved more than 600 people.
George Washington was an enslaver for 56 years.
American heroes...work that out.

Fast forward to today...Reparations.
"Why should non-Black people in San Francisco today who didn't enslave anyone be paying money to Black people in San Francisco today who were never enslaved"?...is a question being asked.

FACT:  You keep advocating more and more guns for Americans, cocked and ready to fire for their are bad guys lurking in the shadows.

FACT: It's not the bad guys lurking in the shadows getting shot.

That's because the good guys are not carrying guns, ready to fire if guns are pointed at them.

One doesn't need to have a Harvard degree to shake their heads at this kind of "thought" process.

A 12-year-old student was allegedly sent home from school after he refused to change his T-shirt that said, There are only two genders.

Liam Morrison, a seventh-grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts, said he was taken out of gym class on March 21 and met with school staff who told him people were complaining about the statement on his shirt and that it made them feel unsafe, They told me that I wasn't in trouble, but it sure felt like I was. I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn't want to do that, they called my father,

He offered his explanation during a Middleborough School Committee meeting on April 13.



I was told I was targeting a protected class and was a disruption to learning.
Who is this protected class?
Are their feelings more important than my rights?
I do not  complain when I see Pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school. Do you know why? Because others have a right to their beliefs, just as I do.
I was told that the shirt was a disruption to learning. No one got up and stormed out of class.
No one burst into tears.
I am sure I would have noticed if they had.
I experience disruptions to my learning every day. Kids acting out in class are a disruption, yet nothing is done. Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?
I have learned a lot from this experience. I learned that a lot of other students share my view.
I learned that adults do not always do the right thing or make the right decisions.
I know that I have a right to wear a shirt with those five words.Even at 12 years old.
I have my own political opinions and I have a right to express those opinions. Even at school. This right is called the First Amendment to the Constitution.

12 is a little too young to be such a smug, self righteous, solipsistic little prick. But just the right age to have a RedDick level of nuanced understanding of Constitutional law. Which is to say, none whatsoever.

You seem a little confused.  In this case the school ignores both the Constitution and Science.
But the  student honors both.

Bambu, where I am at one third of our people are foreign born, and the majority of citizens here are Latino. The best way to help the people to climb the ladder here is to make them legal citizens so that they can own property here, etc. The number one industry here in Anaheim is Tourism, and we receive 50,000 tourists per day, so if the people can become legal, and if they can figure out some way to make money from the Tourism such as from a restaurant or from a hotel, etc, then the people can start climbing the ladder. Restaurants are a popular way for new immigrants to start climbing the ladder.

When my dearly departed friend Lisa first came to America from the Philippines, she opened a night club in Los Angeles named "Manila Gardens" and her club was a huge success. She was very wealthy and she spent her whole life helping the homeless. She was born wealthy, from the Banana Industry. She helped a lot of people, including me. And she was friends with Suzanne Pleshette, which was cool.

Salute,

Tony V.
