I have been slowly dipping my toes in Brother Ali the past few months, and recently listened to this for the first time. His voice is awesome but some of the words may be a little hard to catch. It's worth looking up the lyrics.

His voice is like caramel in my ears (in the most complimentary way), but it's his lyrics that get me in this and a few others.

I agree with you and teachers have been long underpaid, but also I think this is symptomatic of the middle-class squeeze that has been in play for a long time. The wealth consolidation, out of control costs for higher education, and inflation is strangling the middle class and the poor, IMO starting to strangle the economy, and stories like this are the blood squeezing out around the fingers as the grip continues to tighten.

I'm incoherent with anger about this one. Who treats a bright and hardworking fucking 11 year old like that? Over literally nothing but hearsay. No red flags, just some made up shit by Karen.

The taxpayer funded settlement which will come at no cost to the police department better be fucking huge. And when taxes go up to pay for it, folks better damn well remember why.

WTF is wrong with these people? I would come home to my family and apologize to them for our impending homelessness after I quit my job before I would do this to a child. And anyone who wouldn't - yeah, they are fucking bastards.

Well kbin doesn't federate downvotes, but having a peek at the Lemmy side was pretty satisfying. What a fucking disingenuous tantrum throughout this thread and repeated failure to acknowledge that this source you have impunged is rated quite highly by independent fact checkers.

Will you continue to delete and edit your comments, or stand by your words? I dunno, you're getting blocked now, which I recommend everyone else also do.

Well I did check the wikipedia article and it doesn't seem to say that Hamas was hiding weapons there, sooo...

Ah, the block list is going to go up a lot as I read this thread, I'm guessing.

If you aren't black, and you think you have a reason (or are trying to find one) where it's OK to say the N word in a non-academic context (and maybe even then), or you think you have a valid opinion on whether black folks should use it, or you think that black folks using it somehow justifies your use of it, you're either willfully ignorant of the depths to which that word has been used to dehumanize, and thus is indeed worthy of unique treatment, or you're a bigot, and likely both.

Edit: Not as many folks falling over themselves to find the corner case where it should be OK for them as I expected. gg fediverse, you aren't quite as shitty as r****t yet.

There's not another word with as lengthy a history rooted in dehumanization of the other, so the unique status shouldn't be surprising.

Look at Morgan Wallen for example…

Would have been so easy just to not say it, unless it was in his heart.
