So Trump sneaks off to have a private dinner at a restaurant adorned with 33 lawn jockeys

First of all if it's Club 21 , why is it 33 lawn jockeys? Yeah, no reptilian Illuminati codes there.

Yeah, he's not racist.
I have no idea why racists seem to flock to support him.

You think without those laws that southern business owners would not have been racist?

You ignorant jackass. The reason they were made into laws is because many business owners would not abide by them as unwritten rules so the government stepped in and made it against the law to not discriminate. This is historical fact. Read some fucking history you stupid piece of shit.

Your premise is that without Jim Crow Laws businesses would have integrated smoothly without issue?

You're flat out wrong Anon. Businesses made them put those Jim Crows laws on the books because they weren't going to integrate otherwise. Read a book or something. You know what you n ever read about regarding Jim Crow? Any business that complained about having to separate black customers from white.

Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and border states, between 1877 and the mid-1960s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-black laws. It was a way of life. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were relegated to the status of second class citizens. Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-black racism. Many Christian ministers and theologians taught that whites were the Chosen people, blacks were cursed to be servants, and God supported racial segregation. Craniologists, eugenicists, phrenologists, and Social Darwinists, at every educational level, buttressed the belief that blacks were innately intellectually and culturally inferior to whites. Pro-segregation politicians gave eloquent speeches on the great danger of integration: the mongrelization of the white race. Newspaper and magazine writers routinely referred to blacks as niggers, coons, and darkies; and worse, their articles reinforced anti-black stereotypes. Even children's games portrayed blacks as inferior beings (see "From Hostility to Reverence: 100 Years of African-American Imagery in Games"). All major societal institutions reflected and supported the oppression of blacks.

Sure the ministers, politicians and scientists all say black people are inferior but hey businesses don't care about that because even back then they were run by automatons who aren't influenced by social pressures and clearly only care about money and literally nothing else. /sarcasm.

I'll tell you what you find me ANYTHING that suggests businesses were open to mixing customers in the era of Jim Crow because I have read up on black culture and I've seen nothing to suggest any businesses were open to that much less many much less most of them.

"Make it about “political correctness run amok”: For instance, you might open the article with the transgender students’ protesting the Person of Stature’s University talk. But then you will pan back and show that this is but one instance among many in a much larger and disturbing trend sweeping the nation—aka, “political correctness running amok.” (I am not sure why political correctness is always “running amok” as opposed to other synonymous phrases, but just roll with it.) And at this point, you can simply provide readers with a laundry list of seemingly similar incidents of activists and minority groups taking things way too far with their “political correctness” and “censorship.” For examples of this laundry-list approach, see recent high profile pieces by Jonathan Chait, Michelle Goldberg, and Caitlin Flanagan (there are countless others—The Atlantic alone seems to be churning out one or two of these per month!). The benefit of this approach is that you don’t have to go too in depth about any specific issue (e.g., interviewing all the parties involved, accurately conveying their differing perspectives, etc.)—you can just hastily depict all of them as being outrageous. Additionally, this allows you to conflate some potentially legitimate issues (e.g., protests of the Person of Stature) with a bunch of random mean things that random people (who have no stature) have said on Twitter." https://medium.com/@juliaseran...

the deliberate use of racial stereotypes implicitly invokes race, and no, pointing someone out as a racist does not make the person pointing it out racist because "only a racist would see all those anti-black stereotypes and know that the AC was insulting black people"

Yeah, that's how The Adventures of Superman radio show undermined the Klan:

You have to translate all of that out of Washingtonian-double-talk back into Southern-Dixiecrat-cum-Republican talk.

It's been done already.

Maybe, if, for example, Mexico wasn't so back-asswards and corrupt they would put their foot down on illegals who get deported back to Mexico...

Maybe, possibly, if, for example, the US wasn't meddling and propping up the corrupt Mexican government for its own personal gain, those illegals you so flippantly disparage would be more than happy to stay home with their families, instead of risking abuse and death just trying to keep them alive. Yours and all borders are nothing more than global Jim Crow laws. Despite all the eloquent talk they exist solely to keep the slave trade alive. And another thing, despite the overt violations practiced by all governments and the general attitude of the general population towards these atrocities, all people have a right to travel and live where they please. Unfortunately none of the weaponry throughout the whole world is being used to protect those rights, but freedom to travel is every bit as inalienable as that of the right to speak freely, and we have an obligation to enforce these rights.

...plagued by undocumented, often unqualified labour forces.

Please! Spare us the racist pap. Unless you're working for the Klan, that's not helping anybody's cause either.

I'm currently taking a Microprocessors class at Ferris State University. We're using the Motorola 68HC11. It's a CISC processor with simple nmenonics. We both have quite a few physical boards, but we also use a Windows-based emulator called Wookie with MiniIDE as the IDE/assembler.

I'm enjoying the class so far.

"The car is not a symbol of freedom"

        Are you from the US? Do you remember being a teenager? Have you ever seen a car commercial? Do you realize how much the automobile has changed the physical/social/political landscape of this country?

    I suggest this course.

I have no idea how good it is, but Ferris State University's Grand Rapids MI campus launched a game-design program a couple years ago. For what it's worth, I (an employee of Ferris' art-and-design college) have just been assigned to take over tech support for them, so I'll be getting a better picture of the program in the coming months.

yes indeed, here is an old image that hasnt been updated in quite some time , i can vouch for this as well.. why doesnt google index this kind of content? i think it pertains to everyone in the slashdot community as a whole.

SEE??? NIggers REALLY are STUPID!!! Thewy d0nt kn0w an33thing!!! yup..yu0 ar3 a DUMB NIGGER!!!

I expect that this will be a big topic of discussion at this year's ResNet conference. On the tentative list of programs there are several programs on this topic and I know of at least one BOF on it, too. We've spent a lot of time in previous years discussing this issue. It keeps coming back and getting higher and higher on our list of priorities...like a hydra whose heads grow back in pairs after we cut one off.

Why would you want HD DVD when you could have this?

Ok, let Fritz quote Godwin's.

however Fritz should have flamed out a long time ago.

They would rather have a comfortable slavery.

isn't it interesting that the congresspersons working so hard to exploit this crisis are current or "allegedly former" KKK members (e.g. Robert Byrd), confederate flag flyers and 'darkie haters' (Fritz Hollings), and other exploiters? (Anyone who thought Democrats limited their exploitation to trailer trash women and easy 'JAP' interns really doesn't get it)

watch out when these Klansmen comes out proposing to modify the constitution for our /protection/.

you 'darkies', to use Holling's favorite term for non-whites, get it yet on how they want to protect you? how's that burning cross on your lawn? wearin a diaper on your head? fritz and byrd have a limb for ya. ol' fritz will bring us back to the good ol days of low crime and instant justice, making it a great nation for white male.

Let me try this again. ... tinly little town, marked mostly by an almost totally unknown University.

Grand Rapids may not be as big as some Michigan cities, but it's not "rural" either. You may be confusing Grand Rapids with Big Rapids (about 50 miles North), which is a tiny little town, marked mostly by an

The article was funny, and a good reminiscence, but:

Shockley, Teller, and LeMay

what an unholy trinity that is!

Shockley, the Nobel Prize winner who determined to devote his life to eugenics;

Teller, the brilliant scientist who pushed the DoD further into the realm of "The Super", and beyond;

and, finally, LeMay (brilliantly portrayed by George C. Scott in "Dr. Strangelove"), the hawk's hawk who would stop at nothing to achieve global superiority for his country, even at the expense of the American people.

These men, while they performed great deeds in their lifetimes, are to me a good example of how excessive hubris in the scientific and technical arena can be a very dangerous thing, indeed. None of these men can be considered Great Men, in my opinion, because they wandered from the path of integrity and truth in their zealous pursuit of technology for technology's sake.

But the article makes for a great read, and I'm sure in their day these men were admired and respected. I have the advantage of hindsight, and hope that we can all learn from these men how, for some vicious mole of nature in them, even the greatest of men are prone to fall!
