I believe Men In Black is very sexist. How come they haven’t made a movie called Women In Black? After 24 years it’s still called Men In Black. As a feminist we need to come to together and protest against this sexist movie

It feels like everything is about race over there. Like if someone gets shot by a cop, nobody cares about the context and only the skin color of the person who got shot and the skin color of the police officer who shot him.

Imagine I become a governor. I want to implement this plan. First, I'll tell you why this plan, and I'll say the plan after.

Why? I grew up extremely poor in "the hood." Later in life, I learned how to do things like save money. Plan for the future. Investing in things such as stocks and bonds and others. Money management. Sacrifice for the future. Invest in myself such as school or personal development.

It took me a very long time to learn these things. Where I am from, other young people are making the same mistakes I made for many years. Spending all my money, wasting it on food. Wasting it on clothes. Jewelry. Rims for the car. Nothing but useless crap.

Where I'm from, I see how much money these kids spend. They also hate their lives. They hate the system. They believe that the evil white man is holding them down, while they simultaneously fail to do anything right.

And really it's not their fault. Nobody taught me anything, nobody taught them anything.

My idea as governor of some state, would be to implement a new program in some inner city school system. With hopes it goes nationwide some day.

The plan is simple. Create a cirriculum which would start at FIRST GRADE, and continue every single year, until graduation at 12th grade.

These classes would hammer into students year after year, just the same as is done with math or history, the concepts of money management. How to plan for the future. How to do the things that will help these kids escape poverty and create a better life for themselves.

I would think Republicans would like the idea, but would argue that parents should teach these things. Which obviously cannot happen in poor areas where parents dont know how. They also wouldn't want to spend government money on it.

Democrats would oppose because implying that anything other than massive structural change to fix inequality is automatically off the table and labeled an ignorant right wing lie.

Blotting out the names to be nice.

just want to take this opportunity to remind people of one time in our history where we did just that to a certain population in the United States in our history before anyone considers answering this question.

"Researchers have found just 12 people are responsible for the bulk of the misleading claims and outright lies about COVID-19 vaccines that proliferate on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

"The 'Disinformation Dozen' produce 65% of the shares of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms," said Imran Ahmed, chief executive officer of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which identified the accounts."
