Last week, a person with the Twitter handle @arizonasunblock from Tampa, Florida, noticed that Bradley, who has been on the high court since 2015, appeared to make major changes to her Wikipedia biography earlier this year.

      Thomas and that other guy in florida that helped craft the new educational standards with comments like “[slaves] learned new skills they could use for personal gain…” make me wonder why the hell america hasn’t already collapsed in on itself already

        I can’t comment on the use of “Uncle Tom” specifically.

        But we ought not to use insults like that ever. By using them on people who “deserve it”, we are basically saying these terrible things are true, but we usually don’t say them because it’s rude. A better way to think is that we don’t use discriminatory insults/slurs because the hatred they represent is completely without merit.

          Yeah, but not necessarily for the same disregarding-of-context enlightened-centrist enforcing-of-“civility” bullshit that Reddit banned people for.
