When there aren't 4+ generation deep African American families who 1st were denied the right to vote by slavery, then by Jim Crow, and now by mass incarceration. Making it so that regardless of what term the United States uses for the management of the black labor population in the end it is functionally identical
Please don't take HN threads further into ideological flamewar. Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
The thread itself was an ideological flame war. So in your opinion only conservatives are allowed to respond to this? How does one productively discuss with a person that thinks the most right wing country on Earth (arguably) is becoming Inhospitable to conservatives?
The thread was certainly ideologically charged but was by no means entirely a flamewar. Your comment stood out in that respect.
Anyone is allowed to respond as long as they post thoughtful, substantive, respectful comments. The problem with your comment wasn't your political position, it was the flamebait and snark.
Edit: on closer look, your account has been using HN so completely for ideological battle and flamewar that I think we have to ban it until we get some indication that you want to use the site as intended.

Nope it's just good old fashioned American police state activities. Once again people on this website love this subtle form of American Exceptionalism where they Pretend that America is not the most oppressive and destructive racist country in history.
If you were a A person of color fighting for your rights, a Communist, or any other ideological enemy of the United States you would realize that this activity from the police is nothing more than a generalization of the official policies of police towards "undesirables" in the 20th century.
I think it's a subtle form of white nationalism and American exceptionalism when you pretend that the most racist, backwards, destructive, Country on Earth couldn't have come up with every single one of these policies all on their own
It's really cute you think I couldn't have given more examples and didn't just choose an especially messed up example where the United States murdered an artist and then pretended It was a mistake
In your opinion was the 1912 influenza released from a lab on a Kansas military base? Will we have to wait for the destruction of the United States to learn the truth?
already proven to be bought to the usa via imperial chinese recruits being smuggled via canada in awful conditions and then spread over the military, with explosive focus on on preparation camps like kansas.
