On the other side this city and mayor have been found by jury to have created a hostile work environment for a high level city employee based on his race.
Two members of the council were offended by it. Everybody on fucking earth knows the black folk are monkeys racist meme. The white people involved are acting like they never heard of it.
Personal opinion? I don’t live there and I haven’t been to Austin in 15 years, let alone a small town half an hour outside it. I do think this is a microcosm of racial nastiness that is fucking societies up worldwide. Someone might find the money in the banana stand though.

What aspect of your relationship with your parents do you find most challenging, and how has that shaped you as a person?
What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?
For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you
Why is the DEA and ATF separate? Seems like they cover similar things from similar circles.
Is it because alcohol, tobacco, and firearms also have legal pathways? So they spend time tracking down cheats and checking/enforcing regulations?
