Your response exactly proves my point and show that you are not really trying to understand the author’s perspective. > “Street vernacular aside, my guess is the article would have been better received if the author weren't "one of the world’s greatest software developers" who "paid a substantial price to achieve my high level of greatness". I agree. It’s damn obvious that he’s not the best programmer in the world. But man, he made it out of a poverty-stricken environment. Don’t you think he’s allow to brag? I think so. Him being arrogant still doesn’t mean you should disregards his perspective. > It's that extreme arrogance coupled with calling all these coworkers bitches and hos that makes me "uncomfortable”.” Calling people bitches and hoes is definitely part of street vernacular in a poor black community. He had to adapt. I’m sure if he used proper english, he’d probably be called out for trying to be white. It’s one of the vicious cycle that most black communities are trying to combat within their own communities. So yeah, he’s gonna call people bitches and hoes. > “Also being broadly racist against white people isn't strengthening the message.” Again, you refuse to understand his perspective. He’s black. He grew up in a poor black community and based on history, white communities haven’t really been nice to them. So yeah, dealing with “white” is a big social issue for him. He tells you this at the beginning of his post. All I’m saying is why is everyone disregarding this guy’s perspective just because he used street vernacular that’s consistent with his upbringing and character? Why is his perspective less than any one else? Sure he called some people bitches and hoes. Sure he has an ego almost as big as Kanye. It still doesn’t discredit his point. I mean, have you never experience what he pointed out about ‘uncomfortable’? I have definitely experience what he’s saying. I have even used the same excuse as well in the past. I’ve seen colleagues use the same excuse. He’s not wrong. It’s just fucking disappointing that everyone here is so privilege that they can’t even conceive his perspective.
