In California, not the rest of America

So they stole money from a black person

What a surprise. Nothing changes in this world, white people are still nazis and incredibly racist towards black people

There's a professor in another university who literally used to tweet about black people being subhuman and asian people too and routinely would tell them to go back to their countries on twitter, but she was never fired because SHE had tenure at a pretty well known law school

I honestly don't understand this country

Oh please, less African Nations are allied with Russia now than there were 4 years ago

Russia and China are losing influence in Africa fast

I have no clue either as you misread what I wrote. MicroWave is correct, that was my meaning.

BBC is not a news organization, it's government propaganda as it always was intended

the BBC loves to push genocide denial, what a wonderful group of people over there in jolly old England

Well, because it is actually

The county also discovered nearly 1,000 bioengineered mice. Wang Zhaolin, a representative of Prestige Biotech – the company operating the lab – told county investigators that the mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus

I mean if you don't want conspiracy theories to spread then don't make them true to begin with

Yeah there's really no need for so many dams anymore, they were built to power hydroelectric stations that are no longer needed so this is a good thing.

“Why not just let nature take its course? Well, nature didn’t take its course when dams got put in. We can’t pretend this gigantic change in the landscape has not happened and we can’t just ignore the fact that invasive species are a big problem in the west and in California,” said Dave Meurer, director of community affairs for Resource Environmental Solutions, the company leading the restoration project. “Our goal is to give nature a head start.”

Which is another really good point, sadly there's a lot of invasive plant species that were unknowingly brought over by Europeans mostly for ornamental purposes which have had a devastating effects on native plant life

Yeah, I mean make no mistake, Africa has it's problems but change is certainly happening for the better in Africa from what I remember.

I mean if you want to talk about attacks on homosexuals, I can clearly recall Eastern Europeans attacking gay people in the 1990's, especially in Poland where it was the worst

While ahead of the 2015 Polish parliamentary election, the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party took an anti-migrant stance, in the run-up to the 2019 Polish parliamentary election the party has focused on countering Western "LGBT ideology".[67] Several Polish municipalities and four Voivodeships made so-called "LGBT-free zone" declarations, partly in response to the signing of a declaration in support of LGBTQ rights by Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski.[67][70] While only symbolic, the declared zones signal exclusion of the LGBT community. The right wing Gazeta Polska newspaper issued "LGBT-free zone" stickers to readers.[71] The Polish opposition and diplomats, including US ambassador to Poland Georgette Mosbacher, condemned the stickers.[72][73] The Warsaw district court ordered that distribution of the stickers should halt pending the resolution of a court case.[74] However Gazeta's editor dismissed the ruling saying it was "fake news" and censorship, and that the paper would continue distributing the sticker.[75] Gazeta continued with the distribution of the stickers, but modified the decal to read "LGBT Ideology-Free Zone".[74]

In August 2019, multiple LGBT community members have stated that they feel unsafe in Poland. Foreign funded NGO All Out organization launched a campaign to counter the attacks, with about 10,000 people signing a petition shortly after the campaign launch.[76] 2019 saw a rise of violence directed against Pride marches, including the attacks at the first Białystok Equality March[77][78] and a bombing attempt made at a Lublin march, stopped by the police.[79][80]

In the 2020 Polish presidential election, President Andrzej Duda focused heavily on LGBT issues, stating "LGBT is not people, it's an ideology, which is more harmful than Communism". He narrowly won re-election.[81][82] According to ILGA-Europe's 2020 report, Poland is ranked worst among European Union countries for LGBT rights.[83] On 7 August 2020, 47 people were arrested in Polish Stonewall mass arrest. Some of them were peacefully protesting the arrest of Margot, an LGBT activist, while others were passerby.[84] The Polish Ombudsman criticized human rights violations by the police

And honestly, much of it is Russian influence, countries that were behind the Iron Curtain for so long have had a hard time adjusting to western values, and the wall only came down in 1989, within many peoples lifetime

Which African Leader? According to the article only a handful of leaders went as opposed to 2019

Fewer than 20 of Africa’s 54 heads of state or government attended the Russia summit, while 43 attended the previous gathering in 2019, reflecting concerns over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine even as Moscow seeks more allies on the African continent of 1.3 billion people

That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.

Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it's no wonder African Nations are not at all happy

Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea

I just wish they'd kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.

for some principle the victim doesn’t want to stand for

So we should all just let racism flourish then and not stand against it? The victim here isn't being threatened with violence, and they have friends too, so why then run away? Running away from problems never solves anything

Reddit and Twitter are both heavily liberal

reddit is not at all liberal, it couldn't be more of a racist website if it tried

It's celebrity news regarding a known white supremacist, her fanbase is notoriously disgusting and racist and often attacks people of color.

This community doesn't need that kind of garbage, there's plenty of it on reddit

I don't want this community to have celebrity news in it

At no point did I make any argument that the entire burden should rest on your shoulders and your shoulders alone, nor would I ever. This is a shared burden amongst all of us. Letting racism take control of our lives is an admission of defeat and I will not tolerate that in my country.

The burden is not on you, it's on us

This helps no one and accomplishes nothing, just saying we should "deal with racism" is racism in itself.

Institutional racism will always exist as long as that's peoples attitude towards it. Civil Rights never would've gotten anywhere if black people were just complacent ALL the time, if black people didn't make noise they never would've been heard by white people and forced to think about these issues.

1. The emphasis on gender is simply a state of fact; most women are trafficked into this kind of work against their will, so she literally is a victim here and being executed for it. We all have emotions, unless you're a zombie you will feel for something in this world. You can not enact the "emotions" excuse for any article that tells a deeply troubling or terrible story or describes a terrible event happening that shouldn't happen.

2. No one is arguing here she's the user, she's the victim of trafficking. The quantity described comes from the backwards organization doing the executions to begin with, so it's irrelevant what the quantity is, it could be 50000 millenia worth of heroin, she has no choice to do this work. Basic human rights is an agenda we can all get behind, and I would certainly hope we push more of it into countries like Singapore to get them to stop abusing fundamental human rights
