That’s a string. Try again.

As a software engineer, I call bullshit.

I read all the time about this shit.

Another Black person in SF recently invited me to hear a talk given by some major companies about diversity in tech. The companies had trotted out a couple of Black people to gloat about how they support getting more underrepresented groups in the pipeline, training, yada, yada.

Fuck…

Actually this is false.

I never thought I’d be supporting Bieber.

Lip Balm.
Ilp Balm.
Ill Bapm.
Illuminati.

I still use it sometimes though. That just shows you how deep this all goes.

Dude, if an article is hurting your feelings too badly and you’re not (yet) ready to reevaluate your entire life, you can always stop reading the article.

Programming is much more akin to writing than math. I mean, we literally write programs.

Steve Yegge and David Heinemeier Hansson would concur.

Clearly, then they’ve also invented/discovered irony.

At this point, I think the only case that can be made for not banning fraternities and sororities is that they offer us a shortcut to quickly find out who is racist, homophobic, sexist, classist, or some combination of the four (usually all four for frats).

However, I live in a winterless city. Life sucks. (OK, so I’m like 25% curmudgeon.)

At least Bristol was consistent and also lambasted Google, Facebook, and MIT for “encouraging victimhood”. I mean, it’s not like she just singled out the Black guy who happens to be president.

(Sarcasm.)

Honestly though, white people, at some point in your friendships with Black people (which, as an aside, are a statistical anomaly), you have been Iggy and your Black friend has been TI.

Like, we cover pretty fucking hard for you.

Every time I hear a white artist™ talk about how creative white people are, I think about American music.
Rock, blues, jazz, hip hop, gospel, soul, funk, techno, house, disco were all largely created by a group that has never been more than 20% of the population.
