Many trade unions have functioned like whites-only fraternal organizations where insiders helped ease the way for certain applicants, particularly relatives. The good news is that some of the trade unions today work with community groups that prepare minority applicants to take and pass union aptitude tests. However,…

“In reality, having a seat at the table looks like we get to be instruments of our own oppression.” Best I have seen in a long time

It’s pretty darn brilliant. And so remarkable and diagnostic on his part to show every one that this can happen to a 240-lb, six and a half-foot tall man with a body like a Mack Truck. I hope everyone who reads this story can take this away from it: It’s not about attractiveness, or garments, or even sexuality. …

Clearly your cousin doesn’t know that having the brains to do to school doesn’t change the fact that you’re poor and it tends to show in the University setting. So those networks that the upper class kids use to get jobs coming out of school end up eluding you as the poor person. So you have a degree but have…

We want to dismantle white supremacy by going to schools funded by white tax payers, with white corporations making the textbooks with white children in mind, so that we can go to the best institutions, which are predominantly white, in order to work at corporations and institutions primarily run by white people?

Haha, cute. I work in this industry. Literally none of my industry friends were surprised by news of Weinstein’s abuses. Not because they necessarily knew first-hand, but because it’s so commonplace and Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. Stating this fact does not in any way diminish the fact that more…

This is one of the most disgusting decisions made by a “jury of his peers”. It is why I firmly believe that black men shot by police officers should have their attorneys move the case to another venue. It was a very useful tactic of the movement. For federal cases, move them to cities where the demographics work in a…

This sudden realisation that ACT or SAT tests overwhelmingly favour the Middle-Classes

But NFL Players are the real problem... riiiiiight, Jerry Jones.

My brother was hired to work at a major television studio because our cousin had pull there. My son was offered a no-interview high school tech internship at my job (I’m a lawyer) because I’m cool with the IT director. Neither of those positions were advertised. Both my son and my brother are highly qualified in terms…

You’re very nice in calling Ray J a current artist. We all know I love Ray, but I mean even I can’t name a song he’s released in the last 5 years.

so wrong.... yet so accurate.

Ray J. Because somehow, someway, the Kardashians would profit from it.

Evidently, your cousin has bought, hook, line, and sinker, the right-wing, racist PROPAGANDA, that “Black people are lazy” or “Black people don’t work” or “Black people don’t try”, etc. etc., instead of believing his own lying eyes.

Oh wow - it’s like a porridge. I thought it was like fried meat or flour deep fried with - dunno - something to make them gritty. Lol

A cup full lol.

Lol, we have also known for a very long time, we’ve just done absolutely nothing to change it until literally the last two or three years when some private colleges stopped using them in admissions. Do not expect to hear good news on that front again anytime soon. ‘Murica!

We all know you weren’t hugged enough as a kid so we’ll excuse this tirade and lapse of sense.

I’ll allow tarter sauce as long (as it’s homemade) if I never have to see somebody dunking a piece of catfish in ketchup again.

So in his entire coaching career nary a black athlete groused within hearing distance about unfair treatment? Riiight
