NOTHING exists; even if something did exist, we could not perceive it; and even if it did and we could, we’d be unable to communicate such perceptions to one another. So argued Gorgias of Leontini in the fifth century B.C.
I knew a couple who built their house of straw bales plastered over. It burned and they rebuilt it, fending off all the jokes about how they should at least try sticks this time.
No, I believe WaitingMan was referring to the real (and formerly living) George Floyd, rather than the the figment of right-wing media that you describe..
That whole blood-quantum thing depends on long-exploded notions of inheritance. Inheritance from biological parents is via genetic material, not “blood”; and (barring chromosomal damage) no one gets exactly one-quarter from each grandparent, since the number of chromosomes in a normal human cell is not an integral multiple of four. (And if we count mitochondrial DNA, it’s not even 50-50 between the two parents.)
Nowadays anyone who considers a certain Semitic people to be people at all can be sure of being denounced as an anti-Semite. Worse yet, given US funding of Netanyahu’s government and its history of funding Hamas in turn (out of hatred for any prospect of a two-state solution), all we US taxpayers are Hamas supporters.
Just look who learned a new word from the Trump experience!
