I hadn’t heard of Nazi White Supremacist Preston Damsky, but having read this article and his University of Florida paper, it seems like Racist Nazi Preston Damsky has racist nazi white supremacist views which he masks and deflects from in his University of Florida paper in a typical lazy nazi racist white supremacist fashion. It’s shameful that the University of Florida supports this white supremacist racist nazi.
Florida
ah.
Not surprised by the red run Deregulated Florida Oblast.
Preston Damsky is the name of the Nazi.
He is an anti American Nazi advocating for the summary murder of people who are not white.
Preston Damsky is the name of the Nazi.
Ah okay. So only white people should pay taxes then, yeah?
Fluffy, wordy way of him saying he's an asshole and wants to destroy anyone who's not white.
Little did he know if he made such comments about Jews only a few months later he would have had far more public support
“It’s just that — neutrality,” she added. “The government — in this case, our public university — stays out of picking sides, so that, through the marketplace of ideas, you can debate and arrive at truth for yourself and for the community.”
Some at the law school agree with her stance. In an interview, John F. Stinneford, a professor at the university, said that it would be “academic misconduct” for a law professor who opposed abortion to give a lower grade to a well-argued paper advocating abortion rights.
This makes sense to me as a principle, but the idea that the paper is genuinely making a good argument seems really questionable.
Among originalists, though, this interpretation [apparently that “We the People,” refers to white people, and therefore the constitution applies to them exclusively] has been widely rejected. Instead, conservatives have argued that much of the text of the Constitution “tilts toward liberty” for all, said Jonathan Gienapp, an associate professor of history and law at Stanford. They also note that the post-Civil War amendments guaranteeing rights to nonwhite people “washed away whatever racial taint” there was in the original document.
Sounds like not even other originalists take it seriously. On its face the idea seems really stupid, since the wording of that part of the constitution doesn't involve race, and whiteness has always been a very loosely defined concept with a lot of ambiguity that wouldn't be a natural fit for a legal principle. So maybe the paper is getting a high grade and an award is itself a display of personal bias.
through the marketplace of ideas
Some ideas need to be removed from the marketplace.
Ms. Chatman was struck, in part, by her own experiences at the school in contrast to Mr. Damsky’s award. She had proposed teaching a class during her time there called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.” But administrators at the law school changed the name to “Entrepreneurship,” she said, before listing it in the course catalog.
She attributed the change to Florida lawmakers’ crackdown on diversity-oriented language and themes in public education, a push that preceded the Trump administration’s broader war on progressive ideology.
Sounds like the college agrees, though maybe not about which ones
It is Florida after all
In his capstone paper for the class, Mr. Damsky argued that the framers had intended for the phrase “We the People,” in the Constitution’s preamble, to refer exclusively to white people. From there, he argued for the...
I mean, it's an honest start, but then goes on to ignore the progress of history that's occured from that point. Doing so to push a "traditionalist" racist agenda.
If only those framers provided a way to update the Constitution in case things change.
The constitution which Jefferson said should be rewritten each generation so it could keep up with the times.
I say these type of traditionalists aren't really living their ideologies until they die at 25, in a cave with no electricity, from a disease that's long since been cured.
We don't need to be animals. No need to force these delusional souls to live in a cave.
Let them build their own houses. But yes no electricity for them.
After all, if they're pinning for the 1820s they can have it all. Including the mercury enemas to treat every single illness.
But no slaves. Because the North kicked the traitorous South's ass.
Where is the paper?
If this is indeed a high quality legal paper then it'll highlight the weaknesses in the legal foundation of us which enables such positions. If it legally possible, somebody will do it.
That's not how the right views the education system.
Some view it as a source of leftist indoctrination, and this as a rare win for 'their' side, in a sea of socialist brainwashing and woke DEI genocidal messages.
Those individuals will in turn see it as a way to push 'their' ideological culture war messages.
"I'm not like an ax murderer or anything." No, you're worse. You might face consequences if you kill a couple of racial minorities in that manner. Instead, you're going to try and kill or ruin the lives of all racial minorities in this country. My race, being white people, stole and murdered to get this land. That doesn't make it ours. To pretend that it is, even worse, that it's wrong for people to peacefully come here doing none of the things of our ancestors, is unbelievably wrong. The fact that are grown ass men that haven't developed basic empathy or moral compasses, baffles me.
Trade offs, I suppose. I don't think people should be beholden to what there ancestors did. You can't change the past but you can make the future. Let's be good ancestors.
Being white doesn't make you racist.
I didn't say that. But this man is proud of all the genocide and human rights infringements. That's like a 9.5/10 on the racism scale. There's standing by and doing nothing, as much of America (and the world) does. There's trying to fight for equality. Then there's making a conscious decision to fight for your group to be on the top. That last one is fucked up in every fight it's involved in. The KKK, the NOI, JK Rowling, Neo-Nazis, the Heritage Foundation. Tgis guy went out of his way to purposefully try and hurt others, seemingly without remorse. It's not being white that's racist. It's all the racism he's actively doing.
Every lawyer I've ever interacted with has been a total piece of feces
Same here, I've yet to meet someone who studied law or business administration who doesn't have some weird energy about them.
The ones I've met have all been selfish and/or narcissistic
I studied law in college. I interned in a high- powered legal defense office. I've met countless lawyers over the years. There are many, MANY wonderful lawyers out there working incredibly hard to better the world and protect disenfranchised people.
I only said I have never met a lawyer who is a good person. I'm glad you have
I know a public defender who's pretty good.
Good for you. Anyone involved with family law in Georgia (the state in the US) seems to be garbage
The profession tends to select for sociopathy.
Spain helped put clothes on the backs and guns in thehands of the soilders to ensure they won the revolution against the British. While John Adams grabbed much of his influence on the laws being created from Spanish influence. Things like Taxation without representation Adams and Locke directly source the Spanish. "Life Liberty and Property".. was sourced from Spanish rightings/law.
Throw in that Spain owned what became the Louisiana Purchase from 1762 to 1801 (in which the American Revolution occurred) I doubt they were looked upon as not people. France, Spain, American Revolutionaries vs Great Britain was the over arcing war at the time.
We only bought it from France because it was traded right before back to France for Tuscany, a treaty with Napoleon where the king of Spain wanted to give Tuscany to his daughter.
