The Chinese are just as deeply xenophobic and racist as the rest of us.
Their leadership and corporate captains also require a uniformly obedient and docile population in which ‘deviance’ and the subscription to other values can be stamped out in favour of enshitification, mass production, and the lowest, cheapest, most discardable form of labour to run it so long as human labour proves necessary.
Come next Saturday (6/1) is the crazy “run-the-loop” full #marathon#race held at #UniversityOfWashington’s historic #DrumhellerFountain: one loop is 192.37 meters, so the full course requires running 219 loops! Race starts at 5:30am 😟 and we're supposed to flip the direction every hour!
How Residents in a Rural #Alabama County Are Confronting the Lasting Harm of #Segregation Academies
In Wilcox County, Alabama, many people say they want to bridge racial divides created by their segregated #schools. But they must face a long and painful history.
The #SupremeCourt on Thurs allowed the use of a #SC congressional map that a lower court said “exiled” thousands of #BlackVoters to carve out a district safer for a #WhiteRepublican incumbent.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel #Alito noted many predominantly #Black precincts in #Charleston were moved out of one district & into another. But “because of the tight correlation between race & partisan preferences, this fact does little to show that #race, not #politics drove the legislature’s choice,” he wrote.
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan led the Court’s liberal wing in a scathing dissent against Justice Samuel Alito‘s majority decision upholding South Carolina‘s new redistricting maps said to be gerrymandered to dilute the power of Black voters."
70 yrs after #SCOTUS delivered its landmark decision outlawing school segregation, #BrownVBoardOfEducation ranks as perhaps the court’s most venerated decision….
Most everything else related to the decision…is complex.
Nearly 7/10 Americans say more should be done to integrate schools…a figure that has steadily climbed from 30% in 1973….But a deeper look into the views of both Black & White people shows skepticism about the success of #Brown….
…The #Brown decision focused on the value of mixing children of different races. But for many #integration activists —then & now— the case is about a path to #fair & #equitable educational #resources. Those legal battles cont. Today’s complex views about #schools & integration come amid persistent #segregation that has risen in recent decades,changes in the #legal landscape & complicated dynamics of #education & #race in #America today.
Because of #Brown, #school ofcls may no longer deliberately separate students by #race —but under more recent #SCOTUS orders, they aren’t allowed to deliberately mix them by race either. #Integration advocates today have stopped looking to the #federal courts for help & are pursuing #state lawsuits instead.…some #Black leaders have concluded that the answer is not integration…but more #money & #opportunity for high #poverty#schools….
