- "Allowing young people with darker skin to grow up in a society that celebrates, rather than disparages blackness." The link you're making here is something I don't understand. If I'm black, and I'm at a funeral and everyone is wearing the color black, am I being disparaged? Or if I'm reading some code and the comment's talking about "blacklists"? Is that subjectively disparaging? Is that something I'd even notice at all, consciously or not? I'm unreasonably confident the answer is a universal "no". For the same reason that as I'm writing this HN comment, at no point has imagery of mothers and fathers crossed my mind—even though the word "parent" is right there in the commenting toolbar*. Is it different for other people? *( parent | context | edit | delete, etc.)
