  1. Were you raised in a home where the n word was used frequently?
  2. Gas will be more soon. He really wants that Venezuelan oil. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/10/us-venezuela-oil-tanker-seize.html
  3. i'm thinking better qualifed than Gorsuch was a consideration.
  4. We've seen him twice in the last 5 years. Once at a festival. Once at the Ryman. Mid weeknight, full house with many Nashville musicians and Raul's mom. I've been listening o his stuff most of the afternoon. Many are covers, Doesn't matter.
  5. it might have said that in the link and saved us all some time...
  6. Winning. Show renewed . living in his head. more clever, talented and agile
  7. Raul died the day of his next scheduled show, He was sixty, from metastatic cancer. His shows were usually upbeat and high energybut this one is special. wait til the music starts.
  8. I wasn't aware this was a thing on social media after Charlottesville, likely started by some very fine people. People change over time. Some regress. Some progress. trump went from a D to a Nazi. Lincoln became more sympathetic after meeting Fredrick Douglas. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-lincoln-racism-equality-oppose/
  9. I can’t imagine any of the professional or management blacks that I know using the word. I think it’s used by the same socioeconomic strata in both races. There are more poor, uneducated blacks than whites as a percentage.
  10. "a master class in the exercise of inhumanity" https://tinabrown.substack.com/p/how-trump-has-changed-us
  11. "We wanted to better understand the culture of Whiteness and support parents to challenge it" how many of the racists here had/have parents who used the n word within their home on a regular basis? racism begets racism. stupidity begets stupidity.
  12. they being mike davis and nc. I'm partial to this definition: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3941081/ Definitions are given in an attempt to identify phenomena and to delineate examples from non-examples. Expertise is consensually defined as elite, peak, or exceptionally high levels of performance on a particular task or within a given domain. One who achieves this status is called an expert or some related term, such as virtuoso, master, maven, prodigy, or genius. These terms are meant to label someone whose performance is at the top of the game. An expert's field of expertise can be almost anything from craftsmanship, through sports and music, to science or mathematics. People usually agree on examples of expertise, like Yo-Yo Ma (musical performance), Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (ballroom dancing), Antiques Roadshow Appraisers, Albert Einstein (physics), Tiger Woods (golf), Bette Davis (acting), Nelson Mandela (politics), or Hillary Rodham Clinton (international relations). Why different terms? Each term carries with it a slightly nuanced meaning. Shaded meanings vary in their emphasis on experience or constitutional factors as the source of high levels of performance. The term chosen to characterize superior performance carries with it an implied cause. Like expert, virtuoso or master is the result of hard work and long training. If talent is involved, it is a talent for hard labor. In contrast, prodigy, like genius, results from an endowment, which shows up early in life without the benefit of training. It might be appealing to the layperson to believe that a genius is just born that way. Elite performance just comes natural to a genius; you don't have to invest all that time and effort on training, because if you don't have what it takes you'll never get there. Moreover, you don't have to explain why you never had a significant insight, because you just didn't inherit the right abilities or genes. But the facts seem to be that, although people do differ in something called ability or talent, in sports or medicine or any area of human endeavor, talent is a necessary starting point, a platform from which to begin. To become an elite performer one has to capitalize on his or her abilities. Training is the sine qua non.
  13. It's varied greatly in the last 10 years More typical numbers recently https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/9/17/HLS-Black-Student-Enrollment/ At least now, we can ignore sour grapes from white applicants.
  14. tells everyone all they need to know about your lack thereof. Almost every SCOTUS justice is Ivy League. Brown is. Davis is not. But tell me how that's all due to her and his race....
  15. Experts consult. run of the mill losers criticize the experts they'd like to be.
  16. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was born in in Washington, DC and grew up in Miami, Florida. She attended undergrad at Harvard where she graduated magna ***** laude with a B.A. in Government. She went to law school at Harvard Law School where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review and she graduated ***** laude. Justice Jackson began her legal career as a law clerk for the Honorable Patti B. Saris of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. She then went on to clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals and worked in private practice before clerking for the Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the United States Supreme Court. After clerking for Justice Breyer, Justice Jackson went back into private practice for a couple of years. She then went into public service by first working at the United States Sentencing Commission for three years and then working as a Federal Public Defender for three years as well. After another stent in private practice, Justice Jackson came back to the United States Sentencing Commission as the Vice Chair. In 2013, Justice Jackson was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia as a District Court Judge. She served in this role for seven years. In 2021, she was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as a United States Circuit Judge. On February 25, 2022, President Biden nominated Justice Jackson to become the 116th Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. On April 7th, 2022, Justice Jackson was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court by a vote of 53 - 47. Justice Jackson is anticipated to be sworn in during the summer of 2022, after Justice Breyer retires from the court. Now, do Mike Davis...
  17. No. It’s based on less men applying. They may well want to go but know they don’t have the grades/ scores. That’s becoming common. your prose improved markedly from the last post. Did someone help?
  18. maybe corporate farmers benefitting from corporate welfare. not smalll farmers, at least the onns I know.
  19. Brown doesn't need tp promote itself. that's why the level of competition between the sexes is important Both want admission equally.. Played well, this is a ticket to prosperity or more.
  20. cringeworthy. He looked like my dogs when being given a treat. Bribery and flattery work on hi every time. Even if it's a participation trophy.
  21. splain...if there are 50 spots for 100 male applicants, and 50 spots for 200 female applicants, who has better odds under DEI.? without DEI, there are 100 spots for 300 applicants , regardless of gender (numbers are for illustrative purposes, not precision). male odds decrease, female odds increase with elimination of DEI.
  22. He was a believer in the big lie. Stupid is stupid. It's the common denominator in magas.
  23. Ugly racist. We don't care about what you do or don't care about. Poor, put upon white supremacists.
