Even The Daily Show Was Shocked by This Racist GOP Leader's Responses
You already have to do that in NC. It's already the law that you have to show ID when you vote in a new district or vote for the first time. But the rules for proving who you are used to be much more fair and egalitarian. This law changes the type of identification they'll accept. No more student IDs or other forms of free ID that most people have. Because 1. Also, take this example from Pennsylvania in 2012: The razor-thin majority Republican legislature pass a voter ID law that created a group of hundreds of thousands of eligible voters without the necessary ID. Forget the cost (i.e., the poll tax) (which is unconstitutional, BTW). And yet, when this fact was brought up in a pre-election lawsuit, the state's lawyer tried to say it was not relevant. A NC ID valid for voting is free, from the state website: No-Fee ID Card Program After January 1, 2014, you will be able to apply for a free NC ID card to be used for voting. You may be exempt from the fee if you:
I Never Thought I'd Want To High-Five A Teacher For Yelling At A Student, But I Was Wrong
I know this is on the long-ish side, but I promise that there's a really valuable message here that makes it worth watching all the way through. Jane Elliot is a teacher and diversity trainer who developed the "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise to teach students what it feels like to be a person of color. This video begins pretty abruptly, where one of the students who's been singled out based on eye color is extremely frustrated. At 2:46, Elliot explains why she keeps going even after she's made the point. Many years ago, I could have been the girl who walked out, not understanding how this feels to the people it affects. A partial transcript from a very powerful portion of the video, beginning at 3:19: Elliot: “No. Student: “I’m sorry there’s racism in this country..." Elliot: “Bullshit! Student: “I will not apologize because it’s not a matter of race always...” Elliot: “Out.”
Photographer Puts Two Strangers Together For Intimate Photographs, And The Results Are Surprising
Dealing with turbulence while flying is always nerve-wracking, so getting struck by three bolts of lightning simultaneously must be unbearable. That’s exactly what happened to a Boeing 737 flying from Amsterdam to Birmingham, all caught on video. The passengers heard a “massive bang,” according to DailyMail, but the plane proceeded to land without any issues. […] Actavis, perhaps the most popular and recognizable brand of lean (promethazine and codeine cough syrup) is stopping production. They cited media attention and glamorization of the unlawful, dangerous uses of the drug, which of course, they never intended people to do. Canada’s Paul Servat spent nine months eagerly preparing to become the father of five babies. We’ve post a couple of videos in the past few weeks featuring dogs being mesmerized by magic. In honor of April Fools’ Day, we’d like to share an old story from 2004 that sounds so insane we first thought it was a joke.
Leonardo Da Vinci's wacky piano is heard for the first time, after 500 years
Take a bow: The viola organista's strings are played in the same way as a cello. Photo: Tomasz Wiech/AFP A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance genius who painted the Mona Lisa, invented the ‘‘viola organista’’ - which looks like a baby grand piano – but never built it, experts say. The viola organista has now come to life, thanks to a Polish concert pianist with a flair for instrument-making and the patience and passion to interpret da Vinci’s plans. Full of steel strings and spinning wheels, Slawomir Zubrzycki’s creation is a musical and mechanical work of art. Advertisement ‘‘This instrument has the characteristics of three we know: the harpsichord, the organ and the viola da gamba,’’ Zubrzycki said as he debuted the instrument at the Academy of Music in the southern Polish city of Krakow. The flat bed of its interior is lined with golden spruce.
Some Racist Bullies Picked A Fight With An 11-Year-Old Kid And Lost In Glorious Patriotic Splendor
So this amazing kid, Sebastien De La Cruz, a mariachi singer from the last season of "America's Got Talent," was asked at the last moment to sing the national anthem in the town he was born and raised in, San Antonio, Texas, USA, for the NBA Finals. He wore his mariachi outfit, which led to every xenophobic and ignorant person on Twitter saying some truly insipid, vile, racist things. Fortunately for us, he handles such things with typical can-do American spirit. First came the truly stunning rendition of the national anthem that he busted out. Next came the special people with the blinding ignorance and xenophobia, courtesy of the Public Shaming Tumblr. No, it's ironic how truly American this kid really is. It's totally up to you, but I'd love it if you shared this if you think we need to elevate the immigration debate in this country.
