So you're saying black people are capable of using the word in a non-insulting manner and that white people are incapable of doing this, based purely on the fact that they are white and not black? | ||

This is awkward She kind of laughed about how she knew her client was guilty of raping a child and still managed to pass the polygraph test and blamed the child for having adult fantasies and laughed about the destruction of evidence | ||

My impression is that Carter is well-liked and highly respected among democrats (and probably independents) for his global human rights activism post-presidency. | ||

Definitely not my perception of him. Terrible president, kind of weak as a post-president. I'd prefer to hear less of him. | ||

As I said before, the only breach in etiquette was her giving her personal opinion on her client's guilt/innocence. | ||

Sounds like you don't really know much of him. He's done a massive amount of human rights work. Even still teaches Sunday school in his hometown. He's not in the news much because he focuses on his work over fame. Wikipedia is a solid place to start. | ||

Just read this : http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/07/26/a-call-to-action-walk-out-from-the-democratic-national-convention/ Lots of guts, and I believe this to be a good long run move if you want to create a real movement, but at the same time it is a very risky move in the short term considering it might help Trump, who is not really an ally of their "political revolution". ----- Did people walk out in the end? "Over the past decades, effectively unchallenged by the left, the Democratic establishment has joined the Republicans in carrying out the neoliberal project, differing more in degree than direction." Yup very true what he says. Still I doubt it is the right move at this moment. To now continue this background fight while the race is entering its final phase,it risks pushing neutral people away forever and marginalizing the whole movement. Its close but its still not the right time,bernie did not get the majority of votes. Give it 4 more years of Clinton supporting corporate America (or not who knows) and then you can win the nomination with a clean majority. Maybe even a 3rd party bid would have a chance if they get a good and credible candidate. Curious where Bernie will be in 4 years. Will he run again or is this it. The whole movement very much depends on Bernie. | ||
