Affirmative Action helped get rid of all white classrooms and workplaces, it worked. Taking it away means we're just going to go back to an all white America. I'm sorry to tell you this but people are not inherently good or bad, we have to make laws like AA otherwise things would never change. We had to force the South to desegregate at gun point

A deeply racist state like Texas is never going to have racial equality without being forced to, just like the South was never going to desegregate unless forced to

And in California where they got rid of AA in 1996, Black attendance in higher education immediately dropped and it hasn't even recovered yet to what it was before 1996

There's a professor in another university who literally used to tweet about black people being subhuman and asian people too and routinely would tell them to go back to their countries on twitter, but she was never fired because SHE had tenure at a pretty well known law school

I honestly don't understand this country

Oh please, less African Nations are allied with Russia now than there were 4 years ago

Russia and China are losing influence in Africa fast

I have no clue either as you misread what I wrote. MicroWave is correct, that was my meaning.

Well, because it is actually

The county also discovered nearly 1,000 bioengineered mice. Wang Zhaolin, a representative of Prestige Biotech – the company operating the lab – told county investigators that the mice were genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus

I mean if you don't want conspiracy theories to spread then don't make them true to begin with

Yeah there's really no need for so many dams anymore, they were built to power hydroelectric stations that are no longer needed so this is a good thing.

“Why not just let nature take its course? Well, nature didn’t take its course when dams got put in. We can’t pretend this gigantic change in the landscape has not happened and we can’t just ignore the fact that invasive species are a big problem in the west and in California,” said Dave Meurer, director of community affairs for Resource Environmental Solutions, the company leading the restoration project. “Our goal is to give nature a head start.”

Which is another really good point, sadly there's a lot of invasive plant species that were unknowingly brought over by Europeans mostly for ornamental purposes which have had a devastating effects on native plant life
