    We all know how it is done. If you are liberal and you want to get anything done use race.

    We didn't make it about race. Alabama did when it engaged in racial gerrymandering. You don't get to claim it's not about race when you want to deny Black people equal representation. I don't care if your racism is due to a desire for political advantage or maliciousness. It's still racism either ways.

    That’s just BS, but typical of you.

    Excuse me?
    The only time I ever talked about using the N word in front of a black person was when I mentioned that during an argument a black man with coke bottle thick glasses pointed to his glasses and said "I'm just a blind N" to which I answered "Even a blind N should be able to see that"...... That is hardly calling him one to his face.

    Oh his wife played the race card and went to my boss with it which never came to anything because my boss knew me. He even went to my defense.

    That is literally the definition of it. :emoji_joy:

    But hey, do you, bro. I'm not going to get this thread locked going back and forth with you.

    All I'm saying is that AI better be open sourced.

    What are your feelings about Alabama ignoring a panel of three federal judges ordering the legislature to redraw maps? Two on the panel were appointed by Trump.

    And how do you feel about the Minnesota legislature’s threat to impeach the newly elected state Supreme Court justice who flipped the court to a 4-3 liberal majority?

    Is this real? The above post represents all that is wrong with the Republican party right now. They are so caught up in white grievances and whatever woke means this month that they are BLINDED by actual racism. Everything is automatically dismissed instead of just going...yeah, that's racist. This person never even bothered to look at it from both sides. Everything is an attack on the white man.

    Buddy, this is a bad look.

    I like your idea, but I think it has to be amended to be cannot intentionally give one party an advantage. The reality is there are population centers where the voters lean heavily one way or the other in it, and an objectively drawn map might render a district with a lot of those people in it.

    To force a competitive race in every district would lead to contorted maps.

    It’s shocking all the racist laws in place. Racism is big money which is why it thrives in many communities.

    I think you knew this before typing, but @okeechobee isn't going to give you a fair answer to those questions. They probably won't even respond

    None so far. Honestly, i was wondering what his answers might be, whether he/she might find a way to justify the actions in those two states. His silence may indicate his conclusion there is no justification, and he didn't want to admit it.

    Looks like you’ve been triggered by the idea of open source AI.

    Curious why they come with new names?
    Is because they got booted?
    If so must be pretty bad, seems like it would take a lot to get the perma boot.

    Wouldn't they need a new IP address to come back? At any rate, why sneak back in where you're not wanted?

    How interesting clown, I mean clone. You come in here with a fake name and when I call you on it you delete your first post ever which deletes my post calling you out.
