Deepen Diversity Amendment.

Section 1: Hate speech based bills such as White Supremacy, banning a certain minority group from the stream will not be tolerated and will need to be blocked by the President or otherwise the bill must be aborted.

Section 2: To abort the bill, you must either announce that you’re aborting the bill or you delete the bill. No opponent should archive the hate speech based bills unless permitted by the congressperson or senator.

Section 3: The President must block the hate speech based bill by automatically vetoing the bill.

Section 4: Hate speech bills must not be able to have the veto overturned by a congressperson nor senator; as this will encourage violations of TOS.

Section 5: If bill is not vetoed by the President or aborted by the congressperson/senator, an impeachment may be issued to whoever is at fault.

Section 6: You may make a meme festival at least once a year celebrating a minority group. These minority groups include native people, migrants, emerging voices (queer and disabled), and certain religious groups i.e, muslims and jews. You may celebrate these groups as many times as you want through meme festivals or meme contests or anyway. White people can be celebrated too as long it is to celebrate them as a part of the minority group, providing you don’t dehumanise them.

I thought that this was America where people weren't judged on the color of their skin or difference. What happened to everyone is the same?

There is still discrimination to this day and yes there may be rights in place IRL, but people can always abuse rights. There may be activism out there, it might get rid of some of the problem, but you cannot get rid of discrimination.

Yes but the way to end discrimination is not to put people into categories, whether it be based on people's color, sexual orientation, or disability. The way to end discrimination is not to discriminate against the white race. How would that make you any different than those who discriminated against other races in the past?

"Yes but the way to end discrimination is not to put people into categories, whether it be based on people's color, sexual orientation, or disability."

I agree, I'm not going to make a card saying you are a certain race like what South Africans did in apartheid.

"The way to end discrimination is not to discriminate against the white race."

White people don't get discriminated because they're white, white people get discriminated for different reasons like LGBTQ status, religion (islam or judaism) or disability.

"How would that make you any different than those who discriminated against other races in the past?"

Me, I get my rights as a disabled person, not to mention your crony discriminated against me on ImgflipGovernment. The meme might not be there on the stream, but I can still access it...

I'm sure who you're blaming for that meme, but it wasn't me that made it. And haven't heard of disabled users getting hassled here or on any other stream. Wouldn't that go against the TOS?
And I encourage you as a disabled person to participate on this site and express your opinion, but in a time the world is in such chaos please don't try to push your point of view onto everyone on the stream.

"I'm sure who you're blaming for that meme, but it wasn't me that made it."

I know you haven't discriminated me based on my disability.

"And haven't heard of disabled users getting hassled here or on any other stream. Wouldn't that go against the TOS?"

That's because as Surly said 6 days ago that "disabled people on the stream are never gonna admit to being disabled" and we know why.

imgflip.com/i/7auww5

"And I encourage you as a disabled person to participate on this site and express your opinion,"

Which I am with evidence.

"but in a time the world is in such chaos please don't try to push your point of view onto everyone on the stream."

It's just a bill, if the bill doesn't pass, the bill doesn't pass. That doesn't mean I stop fighting fighting for rights but this means that I keep going, which as you said I can express my opinion, which my opinion is based on facts.

I wasn't insinuating that there was anything wrong with being disabled. So please don't put words in my mouth.
If users wish to share their disability that's great because then they can see that they are not the only ones with that disability. Which can actually result in bonds being formed which can help both users.
Again I would never discredit people who are disabled, and I know some are very smart as well.
And if you feel someone is hassling you because you're disabled here. Please let me know and I will try to help you as much as I can.

"I wasn't insinuating that there was anything wrong with being disabled. So please don't put words in my mouth."

I never said you discriminated against the disabled. But I'm saying many conservatives do.

"If users wish to share their disability that's great because then they can see that they are not the only ones with that disability. Which can actually result in bonds being formed which can help both users."

Yeah, I'm even thinking about making a stream to have a stream for the disabled from being really disabled to being not that disabled, to having a psychical disability like even having only one arm or one leg, to having a mental disability. All welcome. Even activists for support of disabled rights can join if they want.

But currently I don't have that stream set up.

"Again I would never discredit people who are disabled,"

Good.

"and I know some are very smart as well."

I agree.

"And if you feel someone is hassling you because you're disabled here. Please let me know and I will try to help you as much as I can."

I've let the site mods know about the discrimination and I can continue to do so.

Personally it sounds like a lot of wokeism to me.
And think about it, might disabled users not identify themselves because that allows them to be like everyone else on the site, when in daily life they're always different?

"Personally it sounds like a lot of wokeism to me."

Being politically correct to an extent is fine but what isn't fine is excluding whites and you find out that they are either queer, islamic, jewish, and/or even disabled (that's when actual radical ideas get backfired and become hypocritical).

"And think about it, might disabled users not identify themselves because that allows them to be like everyone else on the site, when in daily life they're always different?"

Good point, not everyone would want to be identifying themselves as autistic but many users have mentioned that they have a disability but not explicitly. I've noticed other users saying that they have autism, but so what?

There are plenty of smart people who have autism

No. This is an anti-censorship bill. "Section 6: White people can be celebrated too as long it is to celebrate them as a part of the minority group, providing you don’t dehumanise them."

According to a fairly new poll, just over 6% of White and Black adults identify as LGBT, 38% of American Muslims are white, and 90% of American Jews are white.

What is your fixation on dividing everyone? And why are you trying to make white people villains? And what difference does it make that 62.7 disabled people are white?
1 up, 1y,

White people aren't being divided, they already have rights on this stream. In fact the whole purpose of this bill is to create equality and to let the minority groups regardless of their race have their fair share, plus the people who aren't white have a bonus reason to need their fair share.

Section 1 of this amendment explicitly tells you that "Hate speech based bills such as White Supremacy, banning a certain minority group from the stream will not be tolerated and will need to be blocked by the President or otherwise the bill must be aborted."

And Section 6 says "You may make a meme festival at least once a year celebrating a minority group."

This is about giving choices and you don't have to make a meme festival celebrating a minority group. But don't forget I believe that white people should be included too, but because of a different reason.

White supremacists don't understand that not only white people being axed from a job because of their race can also be homophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, islamophobia or even discrimination against the disabled. You should treat everyone equally and once you get to know these people, you'd want to spend more time with them.

Yet conservatives don't have a problem discriminating against queer, jewish, islamic, and even disabled people.

This is not a radical left bill, this is a mainstream bill that pleases the centre-left, the centrist, and the centre-right

Who says they aren't equal here now? And I'm really curious as to what you definition for equality is. Because I'm almost sure it doesn't mean what you think it does. Or maybe you do and that's why you're trying to divide people on this stream and censor their speech.

"Who says they aren't equal here now?"

People are still being discriminated on this stream, I was discriminated on this stream.

"And I'm really curious as to what you definition for equality is."

Same definition as the default one, not the white supremacist's definition...

Definition: the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.
Source: Oxford Languages found on Google Search.

"Because I'm almost sure it doesn't mean what you think it does."

Read the definition I gave you.

"Or maybe you do and that's why you're trying to divide people on this stream"

I'm giving rights to minority groups so they can feel more welcomed on this stream.

"and censor their speech."

Which there's a difference between free speech and hate speech.

Free speech is the right to say whatever one likes. It is unconstrained by the disciplines of reason and objectivity. It doesn’t require factual accuracy.

Even misinformation like anti vax stuff can still somehow be considered free speech but to an extent.

But hate speech is any kind of communication in speech, writing or behaviour, that attacks or uses pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality race, colour, descent, gender or other identity factor.

"Equity in our Orwellian world is not equality,"

Which equity means "the quality of being fair and impartial." but our world you could describe is 1984, but it depends on which country you talk about.

But America is literally one of the most libertarian countries out there, as it has one of the most relaxed gun laws out there and one of the most capitalist countries in the world.

"but payback."

Which deepening diversity is not payback, its meant to be welcoming.

"Again, it is the idea of making the current generation pay for the supposed sins of the long dead of centuries past."

Well yes everyone was racist like 50 years ago, we get that, but what you have missed was that people are still racist to this day.

Not the majority. So you want to divide and censor users on this stream on these grounds?

"Not the majority."

There are going to be more and more people from minority groups that are joining imgflip, so we gotta welcome them. This bill is a libertarian leaning bill because it gives people choices but the bill will come with some regulations for safety purposes.

"So you want to divide and censor users on this stream on these grounds?"

No I'm not, yet conservatives don't have a problem discriminating against the queer, muslims, jews, and even the disabled, and many conservatives are racists.
