The States: North Dakota? Come On, Ohio Is The Worst State Ever.

Re: The States: North Dakota? Come On, Ohio Is The Worst State Ever.

When You SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Wisconsin You Probably Weren't Black...or Brown!

MADISON, Wis. — The video was just two minutes long: a sunny montage of life at the University of Wisconsin’s flagship campus in Madison. Here were hundreds of young men and women cheering at a football game, dancing in unison, riding bicycles in a sleek line, “throwing the W” for the camera, singing a cappella, leaping into a lake.

“Home is where we grow together,” a voice-over said. “It’s where the hills are. It’s eating our favorite foods. It’s where we can all harmonize as one. Home is Wisconsin cheese curds. It’s welcoming everyone into our home.”

Days before Homecoming Week, the student homecoming committee, tasked with producing the video, posted it online. The outrage was almost instantaneous. Virtually every student in the video was white.

This is the story of a video that galvanized and divided a university plagued by a history of racist incidents, as told by the people who saw it happen. Black students in particular say the homecoming video crystallized a daily fact of life: They feel they are not wanted at the University of Wisconsin, where there are significantly fewer African-Americans per capita than in the state, which is mostly white. This fall, more than 30,000 undergraduates began the school year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Fewer than 1,000 of them are African-American.

This from the same school that photoshopped a black dude in the student section of their football game in their pamphlets to show racial diversity.

What, they didn’t at least photoshop a black kid in this time??

That's just lazy. They've got a football team.

They’re not in the stands, though.

I would guess a solid HALF of the Black students at that school play sports. So basically the BADgers have to pay Black People to attend ;)

As if we needed more reasons for Wisconsin to suck

“ BREAKING: A conservative law firm in Wisconsin has asked a judge to find the Wisconsin Elections Commission in contempt and fine its members $2,000 a day until the commission purges more than 200,000 voters from the rolls.”

I mean, they can ask. The GOP can ask a judge to purge all POC, white women who graduated college, and white men who do not score high for sociopathy.

It's only a problem if and when the judge agrees.

We all know the right are Nazis. That's true in CA as much as WI. The question is do the Nazis hold sufficient power to set the agenda? In most of the Slave States, yes. In WI? We'll see.

I’m not looking at a list of cases but from memory, the judiciary in WI has been pretty conservative friendly for a while

Firefox stopped me from visiting your link due to malicious code on the website. But, after Googling: This really doesn't change anything, and no one really gave two sh**s in July when it passed, no one cares now. All the bill does is change SINGLE OCCUPANCY restrooms from being gender exclusive. No more single person gas station bathrooms being marked Men or Women.

“Making single-occupancy restrooms gender neutral is inclusive, but it also just makes sense,” Democratic state Sen. Melinda Bush of Grayslake who sponsored the bill said in a statement, reported Chicago Tribune. “It’s a small change that will make a big impact for thousands of Illinoisans.”

All one-person public bathrooms in Illinois must be labeled as gender-neutral under a law Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed on Friday, July 26.

The legislation goes into effect on Jan. 1 and prohibits signs outside of one-person public restrooms from designating a specific gender, according to a report by Chicago Tribune. Unanimously approved in the Senate, the measure was approved by a 109-5 vote in the House earlier this spring.

Multiple occupancy restrooms, those with stalls, are still gender exclusive.

Thank you for clarifying this. The article I read was not very clear on this...

No worries. I'm very supportive of this, as it just makes common sense for anyone. It effectively doubles the single occupancy restrooms for *everyone* to use without changing anything but the sign on the door.

My work (both buildings) still get the Trib. I enjoy showing up a little early, having my Monster (in lieu of coffee) and reading the paper, gearing up for the day. Routine, I suppose.
