Our culture celebrates victims, it encourages people to seek out victim status even when there is none to be had.
Because as much as some people need to be seen as victims, as many people who derive power from being victims, so many more need to be seen as being sympathetic to victims.
What would happen if DC required this of voters? Isn't the logic just as valid? That it's a minimal burden.
"D.C.’s basic requirement that guns be registered was upheld, because it imposed only a “de minimis” burden, similar to the burden of registering an automobile. Fingerprinting was valid because it can deter people fraudulently obtaining firearms by using a counterfeit driver’s license. Photographing helps police determine that a person who has a gun registration certificate is indeed the person named on the certificate. The D.C. fees of $35 for fingerprints and $13 per gun for registration were constitutional because they simply covered the costs of administering laws that were themselves constitutional."
Any one really surprised?

If a white student did this as "art" project would they still be in school?

In the run-up to the Buffalo-New England game tomorrow, the Bills Team Store web site indulges in a bit of tweakery.
I'd have to say, if it were me, I'd wait until tomorrow afternoon, say, at about four o'clock, to do that though.

If I were you Amy I'd be nervous. She's got something going on - like a major plan - look at her eyes!

Oh, about that genius clock kid.
Just read this awhile ago. Interesting, those internet sleuths.

Bob in Texas; I guess she had a hard time finding "white privilege" so she had to create some.
