Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Also that black people don't feel pain as much so they don't give them anesthetic. Just more lies to justify hurting people.
Gross.
Total aside: there is a group that you can visually identify when it comes to anesthetics. Redheads tend to have a higher tolerance and can need as much as 20% more for the same pain management effects.
ITYM resistance to anaesthetics, not tolerance. I have a friend who has this gene, even though he wouldn't be considered a red head, it's mostly dark brown with slightly lighter strands.
I've got some ginge in my beard when the light hits it right. Dentists are fun until they get to know you.
Doctors were taught the same about black people for 50 years. And a higher tolerance for pain would mean that they need less anesthetic, not more
I think they were saying that redheads have a higher tolerance to anesthetics, not pain
Yes, I may have worded it a bit poorly
Ex-fucking-cuse me? It's this for real?
Yup. It's fucking awful.
...
I don't get it. If they believe that black people are less sensitive to pain, then wouldn't a black person complaining of pain actually have a much worse injury and need higher priority treatment?
I know the answer is just racism, but at least get your logic straight.
Yeah, but they aren't using logic. Like with women, it's just an excuse to not listen to people they don't like.
