We may need a new thread now that they have started labelling everything as "terrorist".

Proper term is: "Domestic Terrorist". I'm not giving up that title so easily.

The district's arts department has decided to change its name, "VAPA" (visual and performing arts) to "SFUSD Arts Department" because they say "acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture,"
Because of course, SFUSD isn't an acronym (San Francisco Unified School District). Sadly you can't make this stuff up... were living in Bizarro world.

First, if this was the case, we wouldn't have a debt to GDP ratio of over 1 and we do.
Second, GDP is the most worthless metric. It simply measures how much money is exchanged in a year. If I give you a dollar to make me a meal, and you give me a dollar to clean your bathroom - the GDP just went up $2.
Likewise, if the government spends a trillion dollars to blow up Iraq, and then spends $2 trillion dollars in "aid" to hire a bunch of useless contractors to build shitty infrastructure, the GDP just went up by $3 trillion dollars over the time frame.
If I get ass cancer, and spend $100,000 trying to cure it, I just increased the GDP by $100,000.
GDP is not a measure of the health of the economy which is why it's used constantly by our propaganda as a measure of the health of the economy.
You explained that the national debt doubles in 8 years. But you didn't explain how the GDP roughly does as well.

Written word was obviously created to promote white privilege at the expense of POC.
If someone has not written xir dissertation on it, they will, it is only a matter of time.

Yep.
It's probably easier if you hear it rather than read it to figure it out. I heard "That's my N be G bat." and my friend HAS been mugged by an N. There's a BIG difference between a black man and an N, just like there's a huge difference between a white guy and a white supremacist of the aryan brotherhood.
Patrick saysrichwicks says"Oh, that's just my NBG. I've never had to use it though."
Definition please. Urban Dictionary did not seem to have NBG.
I suspect the "BG" in NBG is "Be-Gone" The "N" is what you think it is.
Yep.

I suppose, in a non-bizarre, meaningful way, they can reason that they are not using acronyms
"An abbreviation formed by (usually initial) letters taken from a word or series of words, that is itself pronounced as a word, such as RAM, radar, or scuba; sometimes contrasted with initialism."
which perpetuate white supremacy culture.
But, rather, are using and promoting initialisms
"A term formed from the initial letter or letters of several words or parts of words, but which is itself pronounced letter by letter."
which, of course, do not perpetuate white supremacy culture.

The point is to:
1. get us to talk about "racism" and NOT about how outsourcing to China is making billionaires much richer and the working class much poorer
2. do divide us against each other so that we don't unify against those billionaires
Bezos being perhaps the worst one.
It's capital vs labor, same as it ever was, but now capital is literally murdering labor. There is a skyrocketing death rate for poor white people since their jobs are gone and the billionaire Sackler family flooded their towns with opiates.
Their trick to prevent all resistance is to NEVER mention the causes (China, Sackler family, illegal aliens pushing down wages for poor US citizens), and to CONTINUOUSLY talk about "racism" instead.
If they can get you arguing about racism, it doesn't matter what you say. You have been NEUTRALIZED.
Acronyms are racist?
WTF?

This is true. And instead we should be educating people that freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to privacy, the freedoms of peaceful assembly and unrestricted travel,etc... these are the things that unite us and keep us free and prosperous as a nation.

And while they are at it, we need a 1-legged person and a person in a wheelchair. Where's the blind person with a "service dog" or carrying a white cane?
Red/Yellow/Green for traffic lights? That's so native peoples of North America / Asian / Martian! Add black and white into the mix. And it's not fair that one color always gets to be the "go" color, so to that color should alternate.
They should switch to a black person on a black background! I'm sure that'll turn out great.

Anything requiring an IQ above 75 is racist now:
Oregon Promotes Program Focused On ‘Dismantling Racism In Mathematics,’ Says Finding The Right Answer A Sign Of White Supremacy
The program’s toolkit also encourages teachers not to focus on a single correct answer, but to “come up with at least two answers that might solve this problem” and to “Challenge standardized test questions by getting the ‘right’ answer, but justify other answers by unpacking the assumptions that are made in the problem.”
Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict.”

If they want me to be less white they should pay for my frequent vacations at some tropical destinations so my tan doesn't fade through the year.
Two weeks every couple of month should do the trick.

I'm surprised top shareholders approve of diversity quotas for executive positions.
I wonder if maybe they hope that they'll get a boost from advertising their wokeness that will outweigh the operational drag of subpar diversity-hire management. It might, considering low income black and hispanic are their best customers, and virtue signaling to them may pay off.

Nobody that eats at McDonalds cares who the executives of the company are.
It's probably contingent on receiving "covid relief". This diversity BS is coming from the government, not corporations.

When have you seen a shareholder proposal specifically for this? I certainly haven't. They don't ask the shareholders about everything. We need to make our own anti racist shareholder proposals.
