This is one hundred percent true. Government programs that provided aid and subsidies, and were de facto white-only, were popular across party lines and widely accepted before the Civil Rights movement.
When open discrimination in their application was outlawed, the pullback began.

If you could’ve guaranteed that black folks wouldn’t get free healthcare, it feels like we would’ve gotten nationalized medicine a fucking century ago as part of the New Deal or something.

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

This is one of the most fundamental underlying problems of perspective with many, if not most people who play fighting games. “People just want to be good at something automatically” is not correct. It’s factually inaccurate. People don’t expect to be “good.” They just don’t like being vaporized.

A lot of times, these guys are mad about girls from high school/college and I feel like after 30 or so, you need to let that shit go. Imagine being still mad about getting rejected by a girl who had Lil Bow Wow on her trapper keeper.
Every time this topic comes up it's rhe same. "Girls didn't like anime niggas!" No. They didn't like you and your friends. "Girls didn't like smart guys. They all wanted thugs." No. They didn't like you and your friends. Some of the thugs were smart but you were a dick so you wouldn't know that.

They do not have enough goons and they know it, so they're trying to overawe any resistance into giving up voluntarily. That's what all this is! They simply do not have the manpower to execute the sort of takeover they want.

Please don't go to EVO either. They're connected with this. Please do NOT go to EVO. Don't give them your hard earned money. Its not worth it. We need to show them they are not and will never be FGC as long as they have that company owning them.

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.
A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.
So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

I don't see it said much in reporting about mass deportation, but for almost two decades one of the hottest topics in labor has been the coming home elder care labor shortage.
And my god, guess who does that labor.
Millennials/Z could all become baby mills, our kids still wouldn't grow up in time

It's only an issue because wealthy Boomers and Elder Gen Xers are freaking out that there won't be enough younger people around to cater to their every whim. That, and they're terrified of multiculturalism.

Probably not a great cultural sign that its considered strange and weird for athletes to admit to weakness
why do icons, especially barrier breaking women of color, need to have this experience
Even icons need a moment to admit they’re scared they won’t make it back. http://ow.ly/ASoO30sSv9h
