Mayor Brandon Johnson (D Chicago) wanted to give the teachers union a ~10% raise which the city couldn't afford. Thus they decided to take out a high interest loan to make up for the shortfall. This was not permitted by the school board members as it is a very financially irresponsible decision. Now Brandon Johnson says that they're all racist and financial responsibility was the argument made by confederates. "Now the so called experts, the so called fiscally responsible stewards are making the same argument when our people wanted to be liberated and emancipated in this country. The argument was, 'you can't free black people because it will be too expensive.'"

So, what do you think. Is it racist to be financially responsible?

Okay so this happened to me years ago.

I was getting ready and set for prom or homecoming whatever; I was in an online school at the time I was going to, and this happened in like the early of 2020, right before the COVID struck. You’re one of the prom committees to take part in planning for the prom, so you’ll be wanting to take a date with a girl from your school, right? But then my mother knows of this, and she’s a narcissistic parent. She says and wants for your sister, who is a brainwashed, manipulated version of her, to take her as your prom date, and you denied that because, knowing the sister, all she’ll do is report back to the mom and say what happened with you out of prom while she spies and watches your move. What my sister would do is she’ll watch me from afar when I meet with my former best friend I had at the time who was anointed to be one of the prom committees also or whatever and talk to girls. The sister will feel to come over to intervene in it, saying hi, hello, I’m his sister, or you go to walk with your friend out to the hall or something, go to the bathroom together just chatting and having fun whatever during the night, but then she’ll pull you wise and say you shouldn’t be talking to girls like that; they are worldly. The religion is JW’s (Jehovah Witness), and the way the sister and mom think is that those who aren’t part of their religion are labeled to them as bad people, but that person doesn’t think of people that way because not everybody in the world is bad and there’s genuine good people out there, you’d just need to get to know people to know their character and respect them as we all are humans and should never be treated differently no matter our religion. But they are critical and judgmental of people even if they show they are good with pure intentions but still find something criticized or call them worldly.

So tell me y’all answers or opinions on this?

If 15% of women are ceos for example, does that need to be 50%. If so, why?
Equal rights doesn’t equal equality in outcome. There’s more men that are going to what’s required to deserve it

Sanewashing: Attempting to downplay a person or idea's radicality to make it more acceptable to the general public. This is often done by media & supporters claiming that the radicalism / speaker is taken out of context, don't truly represent the movement, or that opponents' arguments about its severity are wrong.
Oftentimes, the person / media doing the sanewashing isn't radical themselves—they may be doing so because they genuinely don't believe the movement to be radical, or are trying to justify to themselves how they can support a radical movement.
It is also used in the context of making the unintelligible, erratic or incoherent babbling or rantings seem sane by media being selective and favorable in its treatment of the person's words and delivery.
