It’s not unfortunate at all, because the effectiveness is weak.

No, it’s a complete thought, and it’s entirely correct. It’s the same basic interaction that’s helped Daryl Davis get 20 KKK members to hang up their robes and disavow their hatred. He’s indirectly responsible for 200 KKK members walking away from their racism.
Yeah, it’s not our job. White folks need to work this out.

Since you were un-grayed. Here is a list of over one hundred STEM programs for teenagers not targeted at girls or POC. Perhaps you were not searching hard enough. The reality is the majority of STEM programs are open for all kids and there is a tiny number that focus on girls and POC
Woof. I mean the dude’s career already was buried, but this response — never apologizing to the guy he stole from, Streisanding his FIFA review while attacking an actual journalist for “needing clicks” even though he works for a site whose traffic runs laps around his — is like pouring concrete on top. Filip, I know…
I’ve watched my sons get turned down for jobs and opportunities for years. Told to their face that it was because they were not a POC or a woman. Universities are building facilities that are only for POC. Universities have entire days were white people are not allowed on campus. Those are facts, not some ‘motivators’…
Brown Shirts would be scary - they were willing to deal out violence even if they had to take some themselves.
The Greys are upset. No wonder they are having a rally. I answered this same question on another post as well. Feel free to add to it or remove or not use at all.
“I could tell you stories for hours about the programs and jobs they were not eligible for because they were not a POC and/or female.”
As a white male I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had other white males mention something to me along those lines, thinking somehow that I’d agree with them. Every single last one of…
Your sons issues with finding opportunities - which I will not dismiss out of hand - are more an outlier rather than the norm. It could be the area you live in or the education level or the fields they are trying to enter that is making it difficult to find their desired employment. I would offer you a couple of…
Well, it’s not “lies,” it’s just incomplete truths. Affirmative action IS a thing, and it DOES involve institutional preferences for POC. The problem isn’t that this isn’t true, it’s that there is complete ignorance of the disadvantages faced by POC that justify the affirmative action.
Nobody is denying that affirmative action is a thing. But this is where the ignorance comes in: If you complain that these things make it hard for you, it only shows that you don’t appreciate the extra challenges that many minorities have to go through just to potentially be considered for that job or for being…
No, Kanye may have paused but it wasn’t because he was stumped or had nothing to say. You could see him trying to formulate whatever other bullshit he was going to pontificate about but mercifully Jimmy decided to not let him further make a fool of himself after such a biting question. I’m a master bullshit artist and…
I don’t disagree. Either which, my point stands, I think. He knows.
I can’t help but notice that only one side shows up to these things dressed like they’re planning to get into some serious violence.
As much as I’d love to rant about the need for a system of proportional representation and the utter failure of the two party system, he’s right. I mean it would be nice if we had proportional representation and parties had to form coalitions to get shit done, but we’re in emergency mode currently, so that discussion…
But that would require any work outside of just filling in a nomination form every 4 years and whining about how shit the Dems are when they do zero fucking work themselves.
