Are you trying to argue that politicians elected in rural southern US were liberals? And what, you think conservatives were the ones living and ruling in dense northern cities? Why do you people play stupid about the southern strategy and the dem/repub flip?? You're not stupid. You're just a dishonest bad-faith actor.

I’m more concerned with the use of “folx”. I just read that it’s folks but more inclusive but I wasn’t aware of any negative connotations to “folks”

I was thinking the same thing. I was more upset with Folx than anything else in the announcement.

This is what happens when far left shitlibs creep into institutions. Expect more of this.

As usual, the posters who we know will react a certain way to this, reacted a certain way to this.

Lets all revise history because we don't want to admit that your a pawn to the party of segregation and the Klan.....

 

[Lucas1980]

Well Liberals also started calling people "Colored" again.....So this is no surprise.

 

[Mr Holmes]

Cmon guys. This segregation is (D)ifferent.

Ironically the listing is assuming that black students suck at swimming, therefore need a safe space to develop a "relationship with water." That's a racial stereotype, an American one at that. Most black people in Canada are recent immigrants who come from well-off families, have well-educated parents and are well-educated themselves, and very often have had experience with water in their countries of origin or in Canada itself in the case of 2nd gen immigrants. We're not talking about poor people here. Totally bizarre to assume the American situation would apply here. The US has such a cultural reach that all their fucked up lefty ideas get exported to other commonwealth countries even when they clearly don't apply to the local situation.

- 24hrs of open rec time for all - unchanged.
- 2hrs of open rec time for trans/non-binary
- 2hrs of open rec time for black people

No open rec time removed to crate the new slots, so there is no compromised pool time for everyone else.

Weird to talk about segregated pools if you're American considering how many public pools were shut down the second black people were allowed to swim in them, and now they're literally gatekept in fenced-in communities complete with pool Karens keeping watch.

Community pools that only people from that community can use?! The horror!

Yay DEI !

It’s just like LatinX. No one asked for it. No one wants it. But it’s trendy.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

Now do white people.

When is white people rec time, since we're separating by race and that's cool? They have one, right?

And if they don't, you'd support creating one, correct?

Also, is this lady like one of those pool Karens you speak of?

Lmao I remember that story. Why on earth would anyone have a problem with that? What you don't like getting body slammed and thrown into a pool to drown? What are you, a chud?

I also love how she tried desperately to not be racist the whole interview and then dropped that fucking NUKE at the end

LOL that's literally what you're doing hahahahahaha. How fucking dishonest can you get? Yeah man, totally, all those conservative Republicans living in New York and Boston! Just like it is today! While the liberal democrats lived in rural Georgia and Virginia! That's definitely how it was!

Yeah man, liberals and conservatives definitely did not flip parties. That's why the Democrats of today are fighting to keep the confederate loser flag! Oh wait....

Folx is a made-up word that has its origins in queer Theory. It thus appears from activists within Critical Social Justice but usually only within queer contexts, including queer Theoretical scholarship (see also, trans-rights activism). It is clearly a derivation of the word “folks,” which has its own specialized usage and interesting etymology within Critical Social Justice circles (readers are strongly encouraged to see also, folks).


Part of the purpose for the development of the term “folks” within the queer Theory context is to avoid using gendered language to address a crowd, say with phrases like “hey guys” (putatively gender-neutral use of “guys”) or “ladies and gentlemen” (which upholds the sex and/or gender binaries and is therefore exclusive of transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming identities – see also, inclusion). “Folks” is therefore offered as a comfortable gender-neutral alternative.


Queer Theory is rarely content with such applications in and of themselves because they are insufficiently disruptive of normativities or may, in fact, end up somehow supporting or maintaining them. Of concern with the term “folks,” for example, is that its translation in some languages is gendered, such as “la gente” in Spanish, which is gendered feminine (see also, phallogocentrism, Derrdiean, and deconstruction). The term “folks” is also used in many different context and thus does not clearly signal one’s queer politics. These are both significant problematics that need to be addressed by queering the language, specifically here through the creation of intentionally political and inherently anti-gendered terms like “folx” (see also, womxn and Latinx). Such a creation solves both problems at once because “folx” is not a word—thus not gendered—in any language, including Esperanto, and thus is only used by people who wish to signify adherence to queer politics.


It’s almost impossible not to see this alternative spelling as both unnecessary and insane. Indeed, it is both. As can be read in the example provided below, one of the reasons that “folks” is not considered gender–inclusive enough is because the wrong kinds of activists (feminists – namely “trans-exclusionary radical feminists”) have started using “folks” in keeping with standard Critical Social Justice usage, so the right kinds of activists need an alternative term that distinguishes them from the more problematic activists (see also, non-consensual co-platforming). Apparently, although the use of the word “folks” in Critical Social Justice is profoundly influenced by origins in black feminist and critical race Theory thought, queer Theorists (who are the centers of their own worlds) seem unaware of this longer, deeper etymology. In a show of “true” solidarity, then, they have graciously extended the use of the word “folx” to people of color, possibly presumably because the word “folks” is commonly used by (white supremacist, racist, culturally racist, anti-black) white conservatives.

Can you find me a word that isn’t made up?
