Bias in Politics Section, Temp Bans - Page 2 - About the Forums

You must have a bad memory if you've forgotten two warnings and an infraction in the 6 weeks leading up to your temp ban. Only mods can see infractions on other users' profiles. You wouldn't be able to tell if Jiggymike has been warned or infracted.

Cool. To answer your question then, no you can't see other users' infractions; mods can, and Jiggymike did receive a warning on Tuesday, as did another liberal poster today.

If you hate injustice I am very surprised you don't remember getting an infraction. I'm pretty sure if I was to get an unfair and unjust infraction it would stay in my memory.

Seriously tho, take a break. Whatever's going with you right now isn't healthy.

I don't recall ever saying I didn't remember not getting an infraction. I don't remember getting a warning, is what I said.

If you had 20 people attacking you would you sit idly by?

Must take a look at what really is going on in the Politics forum right now.

You can never be too sure.

The video is a joke because he took the responses out of context, making it look like white liberals think black people are stupid. Black people in this country are more likely to be poor due to hundreds of years of systematic bias starting with slavery and continuing into modern times with practices like redlining and the inherent racism in the criminal justice system.

It's also a joke because he went to Harlem to ask black people if they had ID. The plight of voters to get ID is not in big cities where they can easily get around. It's in the deep south, where people without a car cannot easily travel to the nearest DMV. In Alabama, they coincidentally closed 31 of 67 DMV locations - most of them in predominantly African-American counties - after enacting voter ID laws.

According to the ACLU there are currently 250,000 registered voters in Alabama without ID who would now have to travel outside their county to get ID. That's pretty hard to do without a car. Poor people are less likely to have cars (and thus driver's licenses), and black people are more likely to be poor based on the aforementioned systemic issues.

The GOP game plan is:

1. Require voter ID.

2. Make it harder for poor people and minorities to get that ID.

If you're really curious about the issue, you can do some research and find all sorts of tactics that have been put into place in the south to make it harder for African-Americans to vote since the VRA was allowed to lapse.

I quit reading your novel when you admitted you didnt even watch the entire video.

Wow, this may be the single most dickish post I've ever read on 2p2 and I modded NVG for years. The only thing the politics mods have to be ashamed of is allowing you to post at all after that performance.

Arguably though your comment to cuserounder's deliberate and lengthy post is a gem with not entirely positive vibes?

If he had watched more than just two min of the damn video I would agree.

I found a political forum that seems a little better than 2+2's section. There are more conservatives and the debating seems less trollish. Usually a conservative on 2+2 is labeled a troll simply for having opposing views. http://www.politicalforum.com I have only browsed a few threads and don't have posting ability yet, but I thought I would share this with others who feel left out.

One three hour break, from this thread, in a 12 hour time span? And your life doesn’t revolve around this forum?

Okay.

Looking closer, you’ve made posts pretty much every hour since yesterday at 3 pm CST. It’s now 6 am CST. A guy who averages less than 2 posts per day is up to over 70 in a 15 hour time span. Take a break.

Well my life doesn’t revolve around this forum, so yeah, if something was happening on this forum that was irrelevant to my actual real world life, I would gladly sit idly by. Who cares if strangers disagree with me on the internet? How is that the end of the world?

These politics complain threads used to be a lot more fun. By normal standards there would have been +300 posts and at least 2 self-bans by now. You guys suck.
