“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

Yes, it does.Forty Two wrote:It says "by genetic definition...races don't exist." Yes, but that doesn't mean races don't exist.
Now go and sit at the back of the class, facing the corner and put on the Dunce Cap.
When you've learnt that words have actual meanings, you may re-enter the conversation.
