All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?

[Cunt]

Not trolling to point out where you regularly bow out.

As to Biden, chocolate chocolate chip I hear. Good that he is well enough to make the tough decisions.

[Joe]

It's trolling to change the subject and badger me about it. I'm not interested in your juvenile whining about the media, and don't care what you think about it. Take a hike ya smelly troll.

Well? I'm still waiting for a definition of systemic racism.

Perhaps there's a self referential issue here - can a fascist define fascism?

[Seabass]

I have only admitted that your definition is useless and meaningless.

Claim a victory though. You have accused the whole world of being wrong. Or something.

Does systemic racism exist?

Does systemic racism exist?

We've discussed racism many times, most recently eleven days ago. It is systematic (I prefer the word 'endemic') when a particular ethnic stratum of society can be shown to be materially significantly worse off than another. I have provided statistical evidence of it here, there and in some other nearby posts.

Our member from Yellowknife seems to have variously flickered between "it doesn't exist", "the difference is due to single parent households", "it is propaganda", "it exists" and I don't know what else. Maybe he forgot. I am not certain of that, but I am pretty certain that trolling is a hobby he has been pursuing with particular gusto lately.

[Cunt]

I don't believe you guys are racist, but the way some accuse others of it makes me wonder.

Systemic racism is the Gladue principle. The reason I bring that example up, is because it is clear, rather than the undefined haze that is usually presented.

The principle may also be a good choice, despite it's being 'systemic racism'.

So naming the vague 'systemic racism' doesn't help, but you can pin down examples and be more clear.

The ones who don't know they're fascists can't, apparently. MAGA types usually call antifa fascists. Rand Paul and some other Republicans think German fascists were socialists. Marjorie Taylor Greene has equated mask mandates to Jews having to wear armbands.

Cunt defends alt-righters and white-nationalists at every turn, but insists that they aren't racists or fascists, he vilifies the biggest black civil rights movement in the US since the '60s using the same arguments that racists of that era used against that movement, and he appears to be in denial that systemic racism can even exist. Is he a racist? I don't know. To be fair, I haven't actually seen him say anything to indicate that he actually thinks white people are the master race, but clearly he sympathizes more with racists and fascists than black people. I suspect this is more a case of him not fully understanding the implications of the ideology that youtube has radicalized him into rather than actual racial animus on his part. On the other hand, he refuses to answer simple, direct questions about racism, so maybe he's hiding something.

What the fuck is hazy about this?

Is what the US did to black farmers systemic racism or not?

Well, now he's endorsing the racist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory in the covid thread.

Why not just answer the question?

Because he's a troll. That's not what trolls do.

I see it in you, very clearly.

Feds take down Medicare scams that preyed on virus fears

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department announced criminal charges Wednesday against more than a dozen people from Florida to California in a series of Medicare scams that exploited coronavirus fears to bill tens of millions of dollars in bogus claims.

A common hook involved a pandemic variant of identity theft: Fraudsters allegedly offered COVID-19 tests to get the Medicare numbers of unsuspecting patients, and then used that information to bill for lucrative but unneeded genetic tests that can cost thousands of dollars.

"These schemes, we constantly see them evolve to another level," said Chris Schrank, assistant inspector general for investigations with the Department of Health and Human Services. "At a time when most American pulled together ... a small percentage of individuals have decided to steal from programs valuable to those who are most in need."

The law enforcement actions involved the Justice Department's criminal division, the FBI, seven U.S. attorney's offices in six states, as well as the HHS inspector general's office and other agencies. Bogus billings exceeded $140 million before the schemes were blocked. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently announced the establishment of a special task force to pursue pandemic-related fraud across all government programs, not just health care.
