@TenPointPG@IramiOF@ONoNotAgan So there's no empirical evidence that children who grow in 2 parent households have better socio economic outcomes at working age compared to children who dont?
@TenPointPG@IramiOF It can't be simultaneously true that the sum of BM incarcerated & on probation in the US outstrips the sum of women incarcerated on planet Earth, & that BM missing from families in America is a trope, can it?
@IramiOF in naming the problem, absent fathers are a feature of the dysfunction in black families rather than charactaturizing that dysfunction as downstream of absent fathers. I bet her pushback was reflexive against an insuation of the latter, tho the angle she comes at it is lib-rot
@slammychowder@infdelkastro@SeeRacists Texting "ugh, they are black" to someone is the type of message that, categorically, is known how it will be received—especially in a business context. Its obvious there was conversation about what race is preffered for the "right" buyer
@JacobWeinbergR Jews dont have any right whatsoever to forcibly displace people from their lands and homes. And if "every other people takes for granted" the inheritance of their homelands, Israel could've bought folks out instead of occupation and genocide.
@HatchTheBrute@briebriejoy@tify330 And the politics of a Harris is to make noises on the campaign trail about the urgency due Black ethnicity only to, once elected, do policy as a racialized immigrant accommodating one's self to white hegemony
@AllThatsGinger@Spoon_town If you can save 5 dollars for voting( just in time for cold weather btw) that doesn't mean homeless or income-less Americans don't exist. Moreover, since $5 is so miniscule, why not just agree that voter ID be free?
@AllThatsGinger@Spoon_town Citizens who don't have $5 are exactly the category of people who most desperately require their voting interests represented in government 🙄

I wonder what the Venn diagram looks like of the folks who have an "it's complicated" view of NHJ's crappy parenting and Lindsay Clancy murdering her children.
I am a Pulitzer-winning journalist covering educational segregation and achievement gaps and here's how I found out my 9th grader does not know basic math. Also here's a bunch of pictures of her I've published over the years so everyone knows what she looks like
We don't admit that schools depend on the functioning of a very particular kind of family, the way a hand depends on the functioning a living body. Instead, we treat the schools as autonomous, self-determining structures.
If we were serious about better schools, we'd start with being serious about building and supporting the kinds of families schools require.
@Amazon_Queenn Right, cause if we don't do both next thing you know these folk will be boosting NHJ as a subject matter expert for her "bravery" when troubleshooting edpolicy
Interrogating Hannah’s choices more than the policy choices that have led to a failing education system is a big part of why we are in the mess we are in currently.
