No President has a good second term, so why do you think Trump will?

It's not hypocrisy; it's the GOP marshaling fear.



But they have a harder time of it. They did a test in 2005, where they sent out thousands of resumes with identical qualifications. Half of them had "white" names like Emily and Greg, and half of them had black names like Jamal and LaKeisha. Emily and Greg got twice as many call backs



I don't know if you are really this naive or just disingenuous.

Racial Disparities in Home Appreciation

Segregation and racial disparities in home appreciation put African Americans at a disadvantage in their ability to build equity and accumulate wealth.

Why should something need a law to be a common practice?



Except "Scholars" only came to the "Metaphor" conclusion in the last century or so, when Science proved that these silly stories were impossible. Up until the 19th Century, everyone thought Adam and Eve were real people, the Flood really happened, and so on.

Now that science has debunked much of the Bible, we should really take the rest of it with a grain of salt before we blindly support a genocidal, apartheid state.



Well,not exactly. The temple complex was built by Herod the Great, who, by the way, was not a Jew, he was an Edomite. The Judeans/Israelites were just one of many people who inhabited Palestine. The fact that some Europeans later adopted their religion does not give them a claim greater than the people who have lived their for the last 1000 years.



Or that we view the history through a Christian lens with confirmation bias. In that Wiki list you provided, I don't see any mention of David or Solomon or Moses or Abraham being historically attested to by non-Bible sources.

they just found a coin with Solomon on it.

2005? Okay.

No, you are being disingenuous by deflecting time and time again by race baiting and strawman fallacies.

Plus, you missed the point or deflected entirely. Being approved for a loan is different than appreciated value of the home that is purchased.

The article you provide in summary states: BLacks and POC historically by in neighborhoods that are predominantly black and or POC. If the appreciation isn't as high as white neighborhoods, maybe it has nothing to do with race, but rather, they are NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS resulting in low appreciation.

So you agree that there are no laws that allow Cab companies to discriminate?

And this where stated to not go down the path that you just did. Couldn't resist could you?

Was the temple real historically? Yes it was and there is still physical evidence of it today. You're deflecting once again.

Or that we view the history through a Christian lens with confirmation bias.

Or is it Jewish History, which predates Christianity, considerably. And if you feel the Jews are made up, then so is the rest of the Semites of Palestine, who, have the same patriarchal father.

I agree that the anti-discrimination laws aren't enforced as well as they could be. That businesses, employers, banks, and even cab drivers know they can get away with discrimination because no one is going to take them to court.

And this where stated to not go down the path that you just did. Couldn't resist could you?

Yup. If part of the bible are silly myths, then the rest of it can be safely rejected as anything other than silly myths.

The problem with Modern God-Botherers is that they try to find prosaic explanations - Maybe the Flood Myth is about a local flood, maybe the Red Sea was at low tide when the Israelites crossed it. The problem with this is that it makes God increasingly unnecessary.

Was the temple real historically? Yes it was and there is still physical evidence of it today. You're deflecting once again.

No, I just don't put the significance of one wall to give ownership to a bunch of Europeans who practice a deprivation of that religion. By any logic, Christians and Muslims have just as good a claim to the land.

Or is it Jewish History, which predates Christianity, considerably. And if you feel the Jews are made up, then so is the rest of the Semites of Palestine, who, have the same patriarchal father.

But does it, though. Most of the archeology of the region shows the inhabitant of Canaan were polytheists and Yahweh was a minor god in their pantheon. In fact, even the name Israel indicates they worshipped "El", who was said to be the father of Yahweh.
