How come the mayoral candidates haven’t been asked whether they agree with the de Blasio administration’s separate-but-equal defense to the Fair Housing Act lawsuit challenging NYC’s discriminatory “community preference” policy, https://t.co/oEP4CxHgyp" target="_blank">@JeffCMays?

The candidates, @ShantRS, have been falling all over themselves claiming their civil rights bona fides. But, on this issue, they’ve been silent. (2/10)
There have been more than a MILLION households in NYC that have participated in affordable housing lotteries, @sallygold, so that system’s denial of a level playing field is a critical issue that any mayoral candidate genuinely interested in civil rights needs to speak to. (3/10)
Contrary to what you hear from those professionally invested in maintaining the status quo, @JCColtin, TONS of applicants are interested in applying outside of their community districts. (4/10)
In fact, @RossBarkan, about 85 percent of housing lottery applicants apply outside of their CD at least 75 percent of the time. True for all races. (5/10)
The data are clear, @tweetbenmax, that Black New Yorkers are disadvantaged when applying to lotteries in majority-White CDs. https://t.co/CbZVWBl7Ra

So what is the City’s answer to this clearly illegal disparate impact? (6/10)
That the disadvantage to Black New Yorkers when applying to lotteries in majority-White CDs is “offset” by the advantage Black New Yorkers get if applying to stay in majority-Black CDs.

Separate-but-equal in a nutshell, @harrysiegel. (7/10)
Under the Fair Housing Act, @ndhapple, you’re supposed to be able to have a level playing field to compete for affordable housing regardless of where in the city you are coming from and regardless of where you choose to move. (8/10)
The City’s defenses — including separate-but-equal — are so appalling, @errollouis, that @lawyerscomm, a leading national civil rights organization, has filed an amicus brief in which it writes that the defenses are dangerous to fair housing enforcement everywhere. (9/10)
And don’t forget, @SquarePegDem, that the policy greatly stymies pro-integrative moves that lottery applicants want to make. This illegal perpetuation of segregation occurs as between all racial/ethnic pairings (White/Black, Black/Hispanic, etc.). https://t.co/fx8oCUqKBp (10/10)

The TL; DR version is they, by military force, and illegitimate legislature, amended the constitution against the will of The People and legally tricked us into becoming unwitting indentured slaves of human capital and resources to THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the corporation)

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
