That issue has pretty much been resolve by state legislatures making IDF's easier to get and allowing for the poor to not have to pay for them.

Are you really arguing that it's a good thing to not create districts where Blacks can elect Black representation if they so choose?

You're arguing that because I don't like the Confederate flag, that you think I respect killers, drug dealers, and rapists? Consider how messed up that logic is.

Wild guess, I'm guessing this is your opportunity to vent racial resentment. I can't think of any other reason to say that.

I've never played the game. I never said the character was any good in the first place. To hear about the Confederate flag being taken out of something like a video game, I'd consider it a good thing. I'm happy when Confederate statues and Confederate flags are taken down.

Heh.



The right isn't racist. I'm mixed/half white and my party members have never treated me in a racist kind of way ever. As always, your emotions supersede your logic. Imagine being triggered by historical statues so much that you feel the need to tear every single one of them down, thinking that "rewriting history" is going to magically fix all of our problems.


Said it before and I'll say it again, please seek help.

No, I'm arguing that the focus on representation ignores the, supposedly, broader goal of creating an ever improving environment for the constituents. Racial representation is a means, folks insist on making it the ends and then moving on.
