Yes. Kamala Harris is a DEI candidate.

there is subvert racism in this country and we have to address it. .
I disagree with that. Yes it exists, but it is a relatively small percentage, and it exists on both sides of the black/white divide. We're not perfect, but we're a hell of a lot better than a lot of places.

Bear in mind, you don't actually know my sex or the color of my skin, you're making an assumption. Turning this into a sexism/racism thing is on you.

that post wasn’t directed at you nor referenced your skin color or sex.

we are better than a lot of places. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to be even more fair.

I was told to de-ethnicize my house when I tried to sell it. (Well to do rural community in a red part of a blue state). I was offended. Turned out the only people who could afford the house were immigrant doctors. Realtor (best realtor in the town) didn’t realize this.
 
And I also think that whatever the percentage is, it would be a lot less if the media would just leave it alone. They fuel this fire. And to that, I'll sit here and argue I'm right with you all the way to the 9:30 bell.

You guys are distracting my research lol.

I remember selling a real nice place back in the day, and you wanna talk about whiteyville lol... I didn't give a f. This homeowners association "hinted" that when I bought the place that "we like our own kind." yeah well, lucky for them the first person to sign the lease was white, and lucky for them when I dumped that place the first person with the cash was also white. But i joked with friends, I should sell it below market value to the first minority family that came along just to f with these idiots
 
im referring to my business owner friends most of whom did fantastically well during and post Covid.

See the post by ipatient. He represents an unfiltered part of the Maga movement.

I don’t think the 600 dollars proposal went anywhere but it was designed to prevent under the table payments (to say illegal immigrants).

the thing is every president spends because 1. They can’t fight entrenched interests, 2. Their constituents want free money.

You feel the economy is suffering because of the news you are consuming. I feel it’s doing better because of the news I am consuming.

anti semitic and hate crimes went up after trump was elected. A presidents rhetoric does is significant.

I did well after covid too.... vol was high and people paid for protection. I'm still doing well. The state of my personal finances is not bad by any means. It's what I see around me that's troubling.

And, although I won't argue all the points back and forth... I still suggest you dig deeper w.r.t. some of your conceptions. E.G.:

Under the law, beginning January 1, 2023, a TPSO is required to report third-party network transactions paid in 2022 with any participating payee that exceed a minimum threshold of $600 in aggregate payments, regardless of the number of transactions.(1)​

They delayed it, but it appears to be in effect now.

IDK how this makes it better. Your implication was that people are scared of a black woman... and that clouds the ability to judge or criticize based on any other attribute. Not being able to look past race/sex is exactly racism/sexism.

Who are you exactly comparing against? When I see stupid crimes shown on news, they're mostly all involving blacks. Theft, robbery, mugging, stabbing a stranger, pushing and kicking an elderly lady, the list goes on and on. I wonder if it's not their idiotic actions that invite such racist reactions. Just why do they act like that? It's like spitting on your own face. You're not only debasing your own character, you're giving a bad name to the entire black community. Ggrrr...

Ahhh.... who cares? There's so many ways to conflate that bs if it ever came down to it. It's like anything else... just understand the level of their tech and stay one step ahead with the record-keeping. If you're not doing anything mortally wrong, by the time time they get to you, you'll be dead. :thumbsup:
