Rules:

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.

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.

No, that's not fine either and should also be outlawed due to a history of systemic racism giving some people an advantage over others.

It should be 100% merit based, plain and simple. It's the only fair way.

Funny how we addressed the tool that helped black kids first, rather than the one that hurt them.

Maybe it's because this is being pushed by bad people, that you seem to agree with under some fantasy of "100% merit based" reality.

Systemic biases exist, AA compensated for them banking AA is basically pretending this nation isn't racist AF.

That's not how it's going to play out in reality, unfortunately. I truly wish it were.
