Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling.
I happen to be very well educated. I don’t want to be accused of bragging again, so I won’t list all of my academic achievements, but one of them was a federal college scholarship in a STEM field. People with brown eyes tend to have ancestral ties to non-white countries of origin. I’m just stating that this man shouldn’t keep company with white supremacists.
This is what we mean by "well rounded" in academia. Whiteness is a sociopolitical construct not a genetic thing.
No, white is a race. Race has a genetic factor. I think if this man were 100% African, and tried to march with the Nazis, people would address the fact that he was not white. I think even news reporters would touch upon the fact that he was not white.
A person can strap on a pair of fake wings and wear a tutu, running around screaming that he, or she, is a fairy princess, but it does not indeed make that person a fairy princess.
i don't know what this means, but everyone originated in africa iirc
That’s not true. A lot of people may have origin ties to Africa, but there are some dna lines that didn’t start in Africa.
i just looked into it. ±230,000 years ago the first anatomical homosapiens emerged in ethiopia, and subsequently migrated in waves called the "northern" migration and the "southern" migration. no earlier evidence of homosapiens exists than this.

can you cite this?
There is always Neanderthal dna lies: http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics/ancient-dna-and-neanderthals
... where? where did the neanderthal dna originate?
Ooh oooh ooh! I know, I know!
Africa.
oof.
of course not. that is, unless as a society we construct an identity "fairy princess" that is defined as strapped on fake wings, a tutu, and proclaiming oneself to be one.
I'm fairly certain the parent commenter is either a troll and/or heavily on the spectrum and is extremely literal while armed with bad information. I'm leaning towards the former.
me or dragontangram
Ol' Mr. 88 up above our comments.
in so far as all race is a social construct, and whiteness is one of those constructs, this is true.
And it’s an ever-shifting construct to serve the ends of the powerful. The invention of whiteness: the long history of a dangerous idea
