Serious question:
Does that matter, because this is a brand new car with factory warranty? If they have to repair it three times, wouldn't the "lemon policy" get them to give you another new car anyway?

You're judging the quality of a franchise by the competence of its money-grabbing sequel? Did Episode I convince you to see the original trilogy or something?

I assume it'll have the same theme and feel like the original; so if I like it, I'll watch it. And what do you mean episode 1?

No. You guys realize they will start with the santa people soliciting change outside of every store, soon? They won't let you enter or exit without soliciting you. The Boy Scouts needs to be disbanded over this.

Yea shit like that really irk me. Especially when I see teenagers doing it to fund their trip to some place.

The only times I really donate are when it's like military veterans related and at places that ask if you want to round up to the nearest dollar (in that case, why the hell not).

Bought the following:

Canon T6i with 18-55mm and 55-250mm Canon lenses - $560
DXO OpticsPro 11 Elite software for processing RAW files - $200 (will be purchasing*)
2x Canon protect (UV) lens filters - $72
Lexar 64GB 95mb/s SDXC card - $30
1x Tiffen circular polarizer filter - $25
Canon T6i for Dummies book - $20
Canon camera bag - $13
Lens cleaning kit (brushes, air canon, spray bottle) - $9
Off-brand lens hood - $7
Screen protector for the camera LCD display - $6

This all started because I saw that the T6i with two lenses were on sale for $560 (vs. over $1000 typically), and I wanted a better camera than my phone.

.......................any tips on further research/reading/learning, before I get my camera?

There's a popular right wing graphic making the rounds on social media that attempts to show how racist the left-wing is. It contains a bunch of racially inflammatory headlines from various far left rags like HuffPost, Salon, The Root, etc. However, the vast majority of examples seen in the graphic are from The Root, almost all of which are written by one man, Michael Harriot. That's how bad The Root is -- even Salon and HuffPost can't compete.

It feels counterintuitive to suggest that straight black men as a whole possess any sort of privilege—particularly the type of privilege created for and protected by whiteness. In America, we are near or at the bottom in every relevant metric determining quality of life. Our arrest and incarceration rates, our likelihood of dying a violent death, our likelihood of graduating high school and attending college, our employment rates, our average net worth, our likelihood of surviving past 70—I could continue, but the point is clear.

But assessing our privilege (or lack thereof) on these facts only considers our relationship with whiteness and with America. Intraracially, however, our relationship to and with black women is not unlike whiteness’s relationship to us. In fact, it’s eerily similar. We’re the ones whom the first black president created an entire initiative to assist and uplift. We’re the ones whose beatings and deaths at the hands of the police galvanize the community in a way that the beatings and sexual assaults and deaths those same police inflict upon black women do not. We’re the ones whose mistreatment inspired a boycott of the NFL despite the NFL’s long history of mishandling and outright ignoring far worse crimes against black women. We are the ones who get the biggest seat at the table and the biggest piece of chicken at the table despite making the smallest contribution to the meal.

And nowhere is this more evident than when considering the collective danger we pose to black women and our collective lack of willingness to accept and make amends for that truth. It’s a damning and depressing paradox. When speaking about race and racism, we want our concerns and our worries and our fears to be acknowledged. We want white people to at least make an effort to understand that our reality is different from theirs and that white supremacy is a vital and inextricable part of America’s foundation, and we grow frustrated when they refuse to acknowledge their role—historically and presently—in propagating it.
