We have programs like Head Start, school meals, etc. but they’re currently being defunded.

You seem to be reasoning from the standpoint that anti-black racism is no longer a factor today. This is not the case. Once you understand this, it is easy to see that actual, first-order racism is what destroys the dream of a colorblind so

I need to read more details on this because everything I’ve seen in the past 30 years has involved industry shutting down basic research. Maybe it’s more true in some fields (biotech?) How is this counted? If it’s based on tax figures, ther

Of course it exists in the hiring process. How is that question? Maybe the real issue is people don’t actually know what DEI is.

I like to imagine a world where the institutions that were supposed to protect us had done their jobs, and enforced the gentleman’s agreement we had, that worked so well these past 50 years.

I’m calling it now: in a few years the amalgamated style of AI headshots will look desperately uncool. Even lighting, defocused background, too-perfect hair, senseless focus on the wrong details, etc. All it will take is one trendsetter to

> just forge a signature Hard to do in practice. Arouse any suspicion and now the authorities are contacting the real voter asking them why their signature doesn’t match and the jig is up. And you have to scale up 1000x to make an impact

Yes of course they’ve been told this. But that is delusional since there has been no left-wing coup in the United States government.
