That's very true. I agree that I would not call Zimmerman a white person at a glance.
However, I do wonder what he could be better classified as, using the options given on government forms. You have to choose a race, and Hispanic is not an option.
Which of the following "Races" would you check, if you were him?
-American Indian or Alaska Native
-Asian
-Black or African American
-Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
-White
Those are the choices. And then in a separate box, called "Ethnicity" you have the following choices:
-Hispanic or Latino
-Not Hispanic or Latino
You see the problem? Almost ALL Hispanic or Latino people are going to have to choose "White" unless they have extremely dark skin and identify as Black. But there really aren't many Hispanic people that are actually that dark, and the other choices of race are even less likely to match very well.
I don't get the whole issue with that? I am Hispanic and also white... There are a lot of white families in South America. Especially in Uruguay and Argentina.
When I fill out government forms it asks if I am Hispanic or not under "ethnicity" and under race I cannot choose Hispanic, and 'White' is the most appropriate option under race. Not just "kinda appropriate" either. I am very obviously a white person, pale with blue eyes.
With Zimmerman it would be a lot tougher, since he isn't at all a pale person. But I do wonder what he would have to check under "race" on government forms. Like I said, Hispanic is not an option. Also, "brown" is not an option. He doesn't look very Black or Asian or Pacific Islander to me.... Perhaps they need to change the forms around.
Deaths per million is not the same as the mortality rate.
Deaths per million is the raw number of REPORTED deaths from the virus, divided by the TOTAL population of the country.
Mortality rate is the percent of people who are tested/diagnosed with the virus who also die from the virus.
I think you're missing Tucker's point.
He is saying that "White Fragility" is a unambiguously bigoted and full of malicious misinformation... he is comparing that to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
He is pointing out how one is viewed with deserved condemnation, and the other should be viewed in the same way.
You see?
The parallel is specifically that it is shockingly abhorrent for students to be assigned White Fragility as required reading, just as German teachers assigned The Protocols of the Eders of Zion to their students under Nazi rule...
To be fair, that is still only making use of middle school Algebra--addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
I doubt you need advanced calculus to figure out your bottom line or keep yourself out of debt with proper wages and contracting.
I actually wished they were at least smart enough to come back with something like, "WeLl wHaT iF i DrOvE 80mPh! cHeCkMaTe dRumPfTaRd!"
Because most people don't realize you would have to AVERAGE 80 mph for the ENTIRE time period. Meaning, all those times you come to a stop sign or a traffic light and are going 0 mph would be averaged in... Or when you are on a residential street and maybe going 35-40 mph. It would be insane to actually average 80mph for 2000 miles of a public road anywhere in the United States, besides possibly a point to point trip that takes place on Route 80 alone.
First time I've come across a post that makes me wish there was a down vote button on this site.
This is someone's daughter... Let's show we are better than those who would find jubilation in the death of someone we disagree with.
Can you either post the build or DM me with some parts?
I live in NY and the "Assault Rifle" regulations suck, but many who are more savvy are able to do these pistol builds and I would like to join in on the fun.
Thanks!
Why would they ever want to get rid of Teddy Roosevelt? One of the most revolutionary figures on the entire planet, post-civil war. He was a conservationist, an environmentalist, a progressive, and he was THE FIRST President to invite a black man, who was his good friend, to the White House for dinner--during a time when the democrats were mandating institutional segregation wherever they had the legal power to do so.
I grew up learning in the NY Museum of Natural History, which he donated millions to and allocated for the preservation of as the Mayor of NY, and which HIS FATHER FOUNDED. Now they are taking his statue down from the front of the building because a bunch of misinformed rioters screamed loud enough? That's insane.
For those that don't know, the entrance lobby walls are lined with some of the most beautiful quotes of his. As a first generation American, they have influenced my life greatly and are one of the biggest reasons I find myself going for a PhD in Electrical Engineering. One of my favorites that comes to mind:
"I WANT TO SEE YOU GAME BOYS I WANT TO SEE YOU BRAVE AND MANLY AND I ALSO WANT TO SEE YOU GENTLE AND TENDER.
BE PRACTICAL AS WELL AS GENEROUS IN YOUR IDEALS KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE STARS AND KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND.
COURAGE, HARD WORK, SELF MASTERY AND INTELLIGENT EFFORT ARE ALL ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.
CHARACTER, IN THE LONG RUN, IS THE DECISIVE FACTOR IN THE LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND OF NATIONS ALIKE."
Save this for yourselves. Because we all know the Left will try their best to remove it in due time.
Exactly right.
These mobs have already thrown Molotov cocktails at police officers and the Corporate/Legacy Media companies don’t get flagged for stoking the flames of violence by fully endorsing and further encouraging the metastasis to spread within these radical groups.
The double standard is glaring!
Twitter is trying to flip the script by branding Trump’s words as “glorifying violence.” When, in fact, the EXACT opposite is the case. He is warning that these riots are clearly escalating in violence and that control has to be established by law enforcement before the rioters turn to armed conflict.
I guarantee you, this is what Trump is saying here. There are far too many concern trolls here, that are just absorbing Twitter’s framing and regurgitating it—I felt I had to clarify, for those who want a rational outlook.
The Trump Bump!
