That's a promising development for the region.
It does seem true though that MLK would have been a vehement opponent of racism towards white people. His words and teachings would not support the idea that "black people can't be racist" and similar modern catechisms. These are harmful concepts that only further entrench white supremacy as people living in fear won't be open to higher minded insight.
How effective are masks at that?
Moderators are working hard to delete my comments here but I provided evidence masks have little to no effect on the wearer.
It's kind of weird. I thought the rules on Lemmy were to be respectful and allow a wide range of opinions but moderators just come in and delete civil comments?
Edit: Oh I found out it was automod because I was so downvoted. Why do users here do this to people?
Oh I guess the mods decided that my comment needed to be deleted for some reason. For reference I just said masks aren't particularly effective, which the cochrane review showed, and that people shouldn't be concerned with other people's decisions given that low efficacy. I'll probably be banned next for simply stating medically proven facts and the echo chamber and continue unabated.
Medical or surgical masks
Seven studies took place in the community, and two studies in healthcare workers. Compared with wearing no mask, wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness (9 studies; 3507 people); and probably makes no difference in how many people have flu confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 3005 people). Unwanted effects were rarely reported, but included discomfort.
Obviously these are the kinds of masks most people are referring to and they make little to no difference.
Why would the moderators delete facts like this? What's the real intent here?
Edit: Oh my gosh, the mod log gives me insight it was automod because so many users downvoted me for telling the truth. Thanks everyone.

Here is one source. There's plenty of news stories if you just search for "democrat election fraud 2020" and focus on individual stories.
Also, are people forgetting about Michigan?

From this particular story:
Similar situation claimed in both instances. Rushing to say Republicans are committing fraud makes you no different than the people you're claiming to criticize. These are equivalent stories and situations and you're engaging in exactly the kind of behavior Republicans who pointed to Michigan engaged in.
