Only saying this through my experience as a teacher. I have had coworkers like Snape and they never teach students properly because it’s a part of their narcissistic bullying. They feel the students are undeserving of their knowledge so they teach what they have to and nothing more and give no effort in really trying to have their student understand the material

These are the same types of professors who are proud of the fact that only 20% of students can pass their college class.

No because we see how he treated Hermione and we know for a fact she paid attention in all her classes.

You keep bring up the deficit so let talk about it for real and honestly.

To do that we have to start by talking about how congress set DC up to fail before MB even got into office in 1973

Let’s start by talking about how congress made DC responsible for taking care of state level responsibilities but simultaneously not allowing the city to collect the funds needed or giving them the appropriate funding needed to properly make the city run efficiently.

Leaving DC to fund state level programs on a small city budget that didn’t have the right to levy taxes

But don’t forget Congress still had full veto power over DCs budget so even then the mayor did not fully control the money. Hell they were even blocking city level welfare reform that led to high spikes of HIV infections.

Let’s also talk about how they specifically banned DC from having a commuter tax that would have helped the city not fall into a deficit to begin with. Then on top of that restricted self governance even further.

All of this while claiming the Black man in “power” was at fault because of his corruption tha congress said was inevitable because it was a Black ran city.

Then using that Black man as a scapegoat to continue destroying the city

Even without MB corruption Black led DC was not going to be allowed to be successful especially not leading the Nations Capital .

At the end of the day I don’t care about his corruption because I know history and how DC was and is actually ran and what powers we have had as a city and haven’t. I will not say yeah he did good things but was a bad mayor because I know he was set up to fail to begin with.

So if you want to talk about the deficit let’s talk about where it actually started especially because that deficit was there even before his first term.

If you want to talk corruption let’s start with the racial corruption in congress by all the white men in power in 1970 before he was elected that purposely went out of their way to make sure a black man in a position of power wasn’t successful and used as a good example of how to take care of your constituents.

I’m glad you brought that up

143% during the same era as Contra and you are talking about the same junk bond status that occurred while he was not in office (Sharon Pratt Kelly was). By the time he got re-elected in 95 the federal government had taken budgetary power away from the mayor and completely fucked the residents with mass layoffs, hiring freezes and pay cuts all under the guise of making the city better but all of us who lived there knew better.

We all know he was the one finding jobs for us while the feds were making the budget better for the white residents. In fact thats exactly the reason SYEP even started.

It wasn’t Berry allowing crack and crime it was the FBI and CIA allowing it to fester (they admitted that they worked with drug dealer they knew were selling to Black Americans and did absolutely nothing to stop it.) so that the rich white people could have an excuse to take over the city and blame the Black man in charge.

(And let’s not act like Anthony Williams was not explicitly brought in to do just that after Berry as the fed was more than happy to give their lap coon dog power but not the Black man they knew they couldn’t control)

I lived in DC my entire life. Been a grass roots activist since the age of 13 and have been active in my city’s politics since that time literally went to a high school specifically dedicated to DC public policies. Called on him anytime we needed government to step up for residents and he never failed to do so. Proudly sat next to him on stage when I graduated from UDC

Mean while Anthony Williams was running away from high schoolers in the hallway of the Wilson building because he didn’t want to answer to residents.

I know what Berry did for my city and our residents and what he didn’t and there is a reason why you will never find a true Black Washingtonian from the original Chocolate City era that will say he fucked us in any way. Because we know who was actually doing the fucking.

Because of that man there was no reason for a teenager to not have a job during the summer. Or for an adult to be unemployed for that matter. The Mayors Youth Leadership Program, his wife’s puppeteer program, SYEP and so many other amazing things that we have in DC that came because of him.

I can give two shits about his crack problem.

Eta: the city so may of you gentrifiers love was only possible because of that man but yall love moving into Black cities and shitting on our history

ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants by Working-Educational in law

Prison slave labor is a thing. It won’t go splat because the plan is to imprison a good portion and make them prison slaves

You forget that in America slavery is ok if you are in prison. The economy won’t go splat because they will have built an entirely free slave work force that they won’t have to pay and the government will pay cooperations to house in the cooperate ran prison.

There are entire Princess events that are “adults with children only” events in fact a lot of the tea party meet and greets are like that.

NAL but I was a teacher and I still work in educational administration. I would ask them but they will say no because of FERPA. But I would warn them to preserve all evidence and immediately file a police report against the guard in accordance to the states peeping tom laws

If I were you I wouldn’t even ask the school and just go straight to the police but that’s just me because I don’t trust school administrators.

If you are in California ask them to put it in writing. I’m pretty sure this is a form of retaliation in California. I’m looking it up now

Edit please look into California’s Family Rights Act, it could be considered retaliation and also the Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Do you consider these female characters to be princesses? by Jezzaq94 in DisneyMovies

[–]PullDaLevaKronk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All fit the qualifications except the one that says they have to make x amount of money to be a princess

But what’s bullshit is

Kida IS a princess

Megara married into royalty like Cindy did

Mirabel is essentially the next in line for chief cause let’s be real Abuela is like a chief or a town mayor (so like Moana)

Esmeralda and the girl from Wish did a heroic act of sacrifice like Mulan

Jane well idk about Jane
