Your first link doesn't even mention Florida (unless I missed it). It simply states other judges that have been appointed by Trump. You created the scope of the conversation by stating it is common for Florida judges to be "bigoted". I'm seeking examples of said bigotry.
Your second link simply states Florida judges, who are required to take 30 hours of classes, are no longer required to take any classes regarding "fairness and diversity". That is certainly not evidence of bogtry.
Look man, you are the one you made a statement: Florida judges are commonly bigoted. Your links don't prove anything of the sort. I'm talking about them handing down verdicts that are objectively bigoted towards the person who is on the receiving end of that verdict. And I'm not taking about one or two cases. You said "common" which means this happens on a routine basis. Either you have the evidence or you don't.
Okay, you go ahead and believe Southern judges aren't bigoted. Enjoy your privilege.
Be an adult and admit you can't prove your case. This platform is severely lacking in mental maturity. You would be doing me a genuine favor. I'm not kidding.
At the very least, I encourage you to not make claims you can't back up. I'm not being a jerk. I'm trying to help you.
Insulting me doesn't make the South a less extremely racist place.
Again, enjoy your privilege.
I never insulted you. Though it speaks to your emotional and mental maturity that you took it that way. Stop playing the role of the victim.
There is racism literally everywhere. Also, don't move the goal post. Our conversation had a very specific scope that you created. Either argue within those confines or move along.
Furthermore, take that privilege shit down the road. It's lazy, tired, and trite.
You go to a bar and say that to someone and see if they're not insulted.
Something only said by people in a position of privilege that have never experienced bigotry.
I don't know what to tell you man. I tried. I access Lemmy maybe twice a week, and I always see your name. Which means you're probably perpetually online, which is an easy way to become radicalized. Hope things end up working out for you.
What other nonsense. I am "perpetually online" because of two chronic illnesses that give me extremely little energy to do much else. And I'll only be around for four more years so I have no idea what you think I will be radicalized to do.
Maybe ask people what their life is about before assuming.
I don't care enough about you or your life to ask for specifics. Though I find it ironic that I shouldn't make assumptions about you, but you're perfectly ok making assumptions about every judge in Florida. No wait, then you said all of the south.
You don't have to do anything to be radicalized. You can simply have a radical mindset. Which is what you have.
Alright, this conversation hasn't beared any fruit so this where I take my leave. Good luck with whatever it is that you do.
Stop lying.
