They've embraced white nationalism and authoritarianism there's no salvaging them

^This. The current Republican Party is the result of 40+ years of the proverbial chickens coming home to roost with right wing media, Fox News, Reagan worship, etc. They've doubled down on the white nationalism, and now that the demographics are not in their favor they are fine with authoritarianism to maintain power. The anniversary of the Voting Rights Act was yesterday, if Republicans had their way we wouldn't have it at all, they have been picking away at it for years.

The CRT hysteria from the right wing is to get white people riled up for the 2022 election cycle. Republicans latch on to anything they can gin up anger and resentment for the next battle on the culture war front. Crowing about Dr. Seuss books being discontinued and gay marriage doesn't move the needle for Republicans as much, now they're trying their hand at CRT.

I knew about Rosewood because of the movie. No matter how prosperous they were the existence of black townships and neighborhoods during that time hung on the whim of white supremacists who would burn them down and massacre the people (virtually always started on a rumor or a lie). The insurrection of Wilmington was particularly crazy, that town has never recovered to the level of prosperity it had prior to the coup. The Elaine, Arkansas massacre is another big one that doesn't get attention.



These are just some of the bigger ones, notice that a lot of these occurred during Reconstruction Era or after WW1, when black folks gained rights and after black soldiers returned home from war expecting better treatment. There's always that backlash.

The voting access stuff is shady though, that does have me concerned.

But otherwise I think your civil rights are largely safe.

With the current level of fuckery from the GOP they're trying to chip away at civil rights and the Voting Rights Act is the most visible of the backlash politics agenda. We are fighting the same battle for the VRA as my parents' and grandparents' generation. They see the changing demographics on the horizon and are doing whatever they can to stem that, with a compliant SC and after packing the Federal courts I wouldn't put anything past them.

Reparations have been dispersed multiple times throughout this country's history, just not to black people. Former slave owners received reperations. Although slavery is a big part of it, reparations also extends to the Jim Crow era because slavery didn't end after the Civil War, it evolved to Black Codes and peonage laws, frivolous laws that only black people could be arrested and charged for and sent right back to the plantations on leases.

It is a discussion about recompense for policies enforced by the local, state and Federal government and in the case of descendants of American chattel slavery, it's generations of fuckery at the hands of government.

I think accusing Ronald Reagan of white supremacy is a stretch. I've no doubt he had racist tendencies, but I don't think you can really make a Nazi out of him.

That doesn't invalidate everything in this article, but it definitely feels more like satisfying a personal grudge rather than going for total accuracy. "If your economic policies disenfranchise people disproportionately, you're a white supremacist."

That's like trying to make anyone who purchases a foreign car out to undermine America's work ethic or some similar nonsense.

Reagan was something else. He wasn't a out and out swastika tattoo white supremacist but his intentions were known. He began his 1980 campaign in Neshoba County Mississippi and gave a states rights speech there. What's the issue about Neshoba County? It was the site where three young civil rights workers were slain in 1964.

Reagan knew how to play to his audience by putting a more genteel face on it, as opposed to the George Wallace way.

Selective breeding has been a thing for centuries. In fact, shitbulls were *say it with me* selectively bred for aggression and strength. Bull terriers went the other direction, and were selectively bred for non aggression.

This is not a hard concept or science to grasp. Sorry you can't comprehend such a basic concept.

I find it funny that the Bull Terrier has been used in the development of breeds such as the Cordoba Fighting Dog and the Dogo Argentino though.

And you're saying its not an EBT, so not really sure what your "point" is here.

You're the one that brought up selective breeding, they wouldn't use the Fighting Dog of Cordoba and the English Bull Terrier in the development of a breed (Dogo Argentino) intended for hunting dangerous game if the dogs did not have traits beneficial for tackling wild boar. Oh, and the Bull Terrier was also crossbred in the development of the now extinct Fighting Dog of Cordoba.
