That case at least seems more like user error than the science itself being wrong. Third party blind corroboration should be required though.

It feels like everything that isn’t DNA evidence has been made up bullshit. Blood spatter, fiber analysis, profiling, truth serum, polygraph, hair comparison…
Though fingerprinting has a place. Even though it has never been proven that no two people have the same fingerprint there’s enough variation to single out a person from a list of suspects. Although even fingerprinting can be subjective analysis.
Three fifths compromise was an attempt to determine how to count the population in terms of representation. Free men of any race were counted as a whole person.
Leads to the question, was it racist because a slave should be counted as whole person and thus give slave owning populations more power in government despite the fact that the slave would not have their representatives advocate for them? Or should they not be counted as a person at all and thus be reduced to property with no representatives accounting for their population? Is being in the middle any worse than the extremes?
There is no morally right answer on the subject (because slavery itself makes any decision on the matter inherently immoral), however it needed to be addressed in terms of how representatives are distributed to the states.
Then after that the segregation, lynching, shootings, fetishization, housing bans, zoning laws…
Really racist every step of the way.
Race and color weren’t referred to in the constitution until the 15th amendment, which granted equal protection. You can argue parts talk about slavery in the abstract but could refer to any non-free person (prisoners for example).
Racism was institutionalized in many, many other ways but to say the constitution specifically is quite racist isn’t really correct, it’s more than race was left out.
Now the confederate constitution, that’s an example of won’t shut up about race.
It’s not about getting rid of them, its about lowering their standard of life to below that of yourself so you can continue to feel superior in your race.
I think climate change denial is less of a Christian thing and more of a Republicans don’t want to lose money following EPA restrictions and are thus fighting reality.
Idk. I feel mentally healthier off social media. But its been around since I was in high school and I have no idea how to socialize with people outside my immediate circle now. My social muscles have atrophied.
You only end up with a brain drain. The good workers leave first because they get the best offers elsewhere.
Watch him dip into GOP funds, croak, and leave the GOP holding the bag.
