    - Heh - I was going to say 4. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 12, 22:44
LIR: Redmond, I have the same cognitive dissonance, actually. - ReluctantCynic Feb 12, 22:28 20
- Depending on how you look at it, that is a long long time. - TFox Feb 12, 22:30 10
  - Yeah ... there's a point at which the absolute numbers become kind of ludicrous. - ReluctantCynic Feb 12, 22:41 1
    - *handshake* - TFox Feb 12, 22:45
  - it certainly didn't end with the Civil Rights Act, you still had the endemic poverty and marginalization - znufrii Feb 12, 22:33 7
    - Right, so you figure it took another 20ish years to get meaningful programs in place to actually help these people... - TFox Feb 12, 22:35 3
      - Snorks! I will say this. I never saw racism until I was in the Army. I saw it from both races. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:39 2
        
        My most compelling brush with racism was when I first moved to Nashville. Not at all what I expected. - TFox Feb 12, 22:44 1
        
        Ugh! Yeah, see this is why I look for other perspectives. I just don't see that stuff here. -- nm - Redmond Feb 12, 22:48
    - I think that was the turning point where things started headed in the right direction. It started off slooooowly but in the last 20 years has really - Redmond Feb 12, 22:35 2
      - I totally agree. -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 22:35 1
        
        I just think we lose sight of and patience with how much further we really have to go, as a society -- nm - znufrii Feb 12, 22:38
- Yeah, I see that. I do. I just wish things would happen faster. They sort of are I guess. -- nm - Redmond Feb 12, 22:29 8
  - it seems kind of obvious from our perspective, sure - znufrii Feb 12, 22:31 7
    - Well, if someone is 27 years old. They can only have been marginalized for 27 years personally. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:33 6
      - well, if you've been marginalized your entire life, I imagine that has an effect. - mafic Feb 12, 22:41 3
        
        Oh, I said on the BB. I think the harm it causes is giving white people to have an excuse to exclude people. They do it, so we can do it. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:45 2
        
        I think the people that do that are deliberately misinterpreting the point, and would find a reason whether the image awards existed or not. -- nm - mafic Feb 12, 22:48 1
        
        Probably. -- nm - Redmond Feb 12, 22:50
      - But its only one generation. A culture can only change so much in one generation. -- nm - TFox Feb 12, 22:36
      - and the younger generations will have a progressively less marginalized perspective of society, for sure. - znufrii Feb 12, 22:35
What was another weird item was there was an interracial couple there. He was eligible for an award, she wasn't. - Redmond Feb 12, 22:28

    - Wait, Winterpeg did. But it was LIR. - Dr.Vermin Feb 12, 22:28
Aw, see, NOW is a whole different ball of wax. - TFox Feb 12, 22:22

- I wonder where they're getting these from. -- nm - mara Feb 13, 05:36
- I wonder exactly who COPPA really is out to protect children or the web. -- nm - Qale Feb 12, 22:24 2
  - Are you saying that someone, somewhere reacted irrationally to some imaginary threat on the interwebs? - ReluctantCynic Feb 12, 22:43 1
    - The only kids caught up in COPPA are truth tellers. It's obviously another mechanism to protect the assses of web content producers. -- nm - Qale Feb 12, 23:24
