Ummm...Krush Groove is on #TCM right now....was not expecting that #AllYouCanEat
Seriously? No other Krush Groove fans....one of the best bad movies of all time....plus Run-DMC, Fat Boys, LL Cool J, and Rick Rubin in probably his only acting role :)
I mean LL when he was young, "My Radio" young....
and Beasties come out with "She's on it"

Also funny because the movie is about the creation of Def Jam records and Mike D is wearing a Def Jam jacket during their performance (big budget continuity)

Look, I know he does this just to generate outrage....but he does know she isn't actually a) a critical race theorist and b) is arguing - partially - against the basis of CRT

I get it, he is just craven....but, people should know he just makes stuff up
And let me ask this - I think - important question:

Right after emancipation, when all property was owned by white people, would it have been "racism" to address that imbalance?

Because what Sen. Cruz is arguing here is "reverse racism" - aka redressing racism is "racist"
I ask because, not surprisingly, after slavery African Americans owned less than 1% of property, after Jim Crow and structural discrimination they own less than 5% and are like 14% of the population.

I wonder how that happened 🤔

You seem to have missed a few cities (16) with GOP Mayors - where homicide is also up...also, all the cities with tough on crime prosecutors - where homicide is also up....also all the cities where police budgets increased - where homicide is also up

Must have been an oversight?
I believe the term for that is...

Cherry picking....yup, that is it. Also, NYC has a 10.2 BILLION $ police budget....Chicago has a 2 BILLION $ police budget....these cities were NOT "defunded"
But you just keep on throwing fear grenades....Oh, and let us not forget Operation Legend was created to address these homicide spikes....Operation Legend massively increased arrests.....and guess what, homicides continued to increase anyway....maybe, you aren't the answer?

People really think bootstrapping explains away systemic racism?

This country....sigh
Just because you made it does not mean all similarly situated people failed because of personal weakness...your success also does not erase or invalidate their lived experiences
Here is an example:

Person A commits a crime and is seen by Judge "Reform" and given a sentence of community service

Person B commits the EXACT SAME CRIME and is seen by judge "Hang Em' High" and gets two years in prison

Does it make sense for A to suggest all B's are lazy?

Dear @AndrewYang

You left the other half of the story entirely out in your argument for increasing police.

Yes, the solve rate for major crimes is, and always has been, low....why?

1. Because the NYPD CHOSE to put most of their resources into misdemeanor enforcement
2. Police are - in general - not very good at solving crimes....it is not just a NYPD problem, it is a problem with policing....your assumption is based on decades of copaganda, not facts
3. But regardless, the problem isn't that the NYPD needs more money to hire more detectives....that makes for a good soundbyte but the NYPD gets approximately (in 2021):

10.2 BILLION DOLLARS

If they don't hire enough detectives, why is that?

I really deeply dislike when people are all in on the bootstrapping myth

Also anything but a fan of when people think everyone should just swallow feelings, suck it up, or be tougher, and when folks think anyone trying to address & work through trauma is 'playing the victim'
Truth:

Some people can't succeed, no matter how hard they try, how much they dream, or how much YOU have succeeded from a similar position

Some people actually NEED to process their feelings, experience emotions, and work through the traumas they actually experienced
What I actually think when people say these things?

I do not believe they are trying to show "tough love," I think they are uncomfortable hearing about people's feelings, difficulties, and emotions and would rather have them just be quiet...but either way, problematic IMO

Books are very important to me....

Somehow I managed against impossible odds, to store and maintain a decent amount of my books during and after incarceration.

Today, almost 11 years later, with the help of a friend and bookshelves from Ikea.....this happened
To say I am pleased would be an understatement....now, my place feels like home :)
I should also mention, that to me, all of the people who send books to incarcerated people or work to get books to incarcerated people are doing God's work.

I felt like I could survive almost anything when I was in prison by just disappearing and escaping through books
