I mean that legislators pass laws which target ordinary things that Black and Brown people do, arbitrarily, for the purpose of enforcing a racial hierarchy of law. The book goes into more detail, but when the state pesters minority populations with nickel-and-dime rules that White people never even know exist, then the law is opposed to people of color improving themselves on their own terms.Kevin L Nenstielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303547273863502837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082892761099751671.post-41000125865947810272021-10-11T21:24:26.496-05:002021-10-11T21:24:26.496-05:00Helpful review. I am interested in this sentence: ...Helpful review. I am interested in this sentence: "Therefore, people cannot simply choose to obey the law, especially when the law opposes the external forces which determine your scarce available choices." The word, "opposes" gets in the way for me. Are you not rather saying something along the lines of "establishes? If anything, the law supports or undergirds the forces that make life difficult for underserved communities, including those of color.Angela Valenzuelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377527828841110131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082892761099751671.post-77036253220716440352021-09-02T08:21:45.117-05:002021-09-02T08:21:45.117-05:00I had to ponder this for a bit, because the though...I had to ponder this for a bit, because the thought of me wearing a kilt instantly triggers anxiety feelings, and I'm not one who really cares that much about not fitting in. I think, for me, it's more of a case of it would make me feel physically vulnerable, not having my loins girded? I'd never really thought about it -- my son-in-law wears kilts quite comfortably, so I'll have to ask him. Our friend Tim, I believe, would occasionally sport a kilt. But to me, I like having those dangly bits more protected.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938749236977060161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082892761099751671.post-14639331409594837942021-07-27T07:04:55.640-05:002021-07-27T07:04:55.640-05:00These are the themes I will touch on to try to mak...These are the themes I will touch on to try to make some sense out of what is happening to American health care and the steps we can personally take to make things better. <a href="https://justcbdstore.com/product-category/cbd-capsules/" rel="nofollow">indica cbd oil which is better oil tinctures or capsules</a>tike mikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646994462395287119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4082892761099751671.post-78934872240825427442021-06-04T14:31:59.356-05:002021-06-04T14:31:59.356-05:00Thoughtful commentary as always, Kevin.Thoughtful commentary as always, Kevin.FAith A.

One of the delights of the Cumberbatch/Freeman Sherlock is realizing that the constant incoming messages by text, email, etc--as well as Watson's blog telling of Holmes's exploits, are entirely exported from the original stories, with their multiple daily mail and newspaper deliveries and constant telegram communications. That era's level of connectivity was then eclipsed for many years by less interactive and information-rich telephonic and broadcast media and only regained very recently.lolarusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416493803153486093noreply@blogger.com
