the absurd irony of some of that guy's posts now that we know who he really was is hilarious.

Indeed. Although I give him credit for this... he hid it fairly well for a while. But every now and then he'd let something slip beyond the normal right wing talking points that would make you go hmm. I think the scale of racism was the beginning of the end.

If I recall rightly, the thread his whole "racism scale" thing was in closed before I was able to respond to it (I'd been working on addressing a series of posts of his at the time), 'cause the thread had reached the page number limit.

Knowing what we know now, I'm really glad I didn't wind up actually attempting to argue with him about that scale crap.

As one comment I saw put it:

""The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" they said, shortly before shooting the good guy with a gun to death."

(CNN)A workgroup developing a second-grade social studies curriculum for the Texas State Board of Education last month suggested using the term "involuntary relocation" to describe people who were sold into slavery, the board's chair said, amid national debates on the role of critical race theory in classrooms.

The proposed phrase was part of the initial draft outlining the second-grade standards from a review committee that included a section titled "Enslaved Peoples in America."

"The board -- with unanimous consent -- directed the work group to revisit that specific language," Keven Ellis, chair of the Texas State Board of Education, said in a statement

ABC News

Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 21 years in prison on federal civil rights charges Thursday in the death of George Floyd.

He had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges but in December 2021, he pleaded guilty to violating Floyd’s civil rights and admitted that he kept his knee on Floyd’s neck even after he became unresponsive.

Chauvin’s plea agreement called for a 20- to 25-year sentence and for him to serve the federal sentence at the same time as the state one in federal prison, The Associated Press reported.

U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson made the final decision.
