I started buzzing my hair down to an 1/8th inch when I was 14. Then much if it fell out in my 30s also.

After getting used to 3 days of 12’s, then having 4 days off, I could never go back to a “normal” schedule.

It’s an academic term used in anthropology circles, studying primitive, ancient, or even non-human social structures.

In ape or chimpanzee social groups, high-status individuals (male or female) may have more mating opportunities, be able to eat first, insist on the best spots to sit, whatever. The specific benefits can vary from culture to culture, species to species.

It doesn’t mean low-status individuals are shunned at all. They’re still part of the group. But for whatever reason, they aren’t given as much trust, opportunity, or maybe respect, as others in the group.

In our modern social world, it would be the correct scientific or academic term for people who are unable to attract a sexual partner, or make many friends, or build much “social capital”, for any of several possible reasons.

People who have a job, or even a career, but wouldn’t be considered for management, would also be considered low-status in that context.

In short, yes. It’s the correct terminology.

Anyone coming back with “all lives matter” proves the ease of confusion over the slogan.

My own immediate response to it was “Yah, of course they do. All lives matter. Why single out Black lives? The police shouldn’t be killing anyone.”

I’m not going to try mind read anyone else.

One is a government policy, the other is a corporate policy. But neither is dependant on the other.

None of that has anything to do with Classic Liberalism.

It’s just the definition.
Classical Liberalism is very similar to today’s political conservatives.

Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Classical liberalism, contrary to liberal branches like social liberalism, looks more negatively on social policies, taxation and the state involvement in the lives of individuals, and it advocates deregulation.

Classical Liberalism is an economic philosophy.
It’s unrelated to sociopolitical liberalism.

I’m not sure if you’re arguing for or against “too”.

Because yah, police specifically, and society generally, have been acting as though black lives don’t matter. And the slogan “black lives matter” was created to argue against that idea. But it was easily confusing. Hell I was immediately confused the first time I heard it, and actually thought “Well yah. All lives matter. What are they talking about?” It took me a good min or two to understand. But simply adding the “too” immediately clarifies that.

“Black lives matter” isn’t wrong. It’s just not immediately as clear as it could be.

They may have willfully misrepresented, but couldn’t really have an excuse to mistakenly misinterpret them. That was our bad.

No. We suck at naming things. And communication in general.
“Black Lives Matter Too” would have been more clear.
“Replace the Police” would have been better also.

Even mainstream Democrats suck at it. They should be shouting every day, how they’re taking on big corp’s, going after antitrust abuses and unpaid taxes; While refusing to audit anyone making less than $250,000. But instead they just keep saying some variation of “The economy’s great, stupid.”

I’ve only ever called them Panthers. Black Panthers are a social/political group.

I honestly don’t know if I should up or down vote. The way you phrased that, after rereading it several times, I still can’t understand exactly what you’re trying to say.

Could you try again please?

That bread exception hits a lot of places. Most decent sandwich, pizza and bagel shops would be exempt.

Seems a strange carve out. I’d like to know where it came from, and what the logic behind it is.
