That's because everyone else was excluded. To overcome this pervasive and hostile environment takes exceptional ability.
- Thorentis 6y agoThen solve the exclusion problem. Don't pretend it has already been solved by naming things after black people. It's like taking a painkiller and thinking your broken arm is fixed. Fix the problem, not the symptom.
- philistine 6y agoThat is one important way you fix the problem, by honouring again and again the few examples of minority success. Stop trying to prevent black people from receiving praise.
