That is a mightily impressive amount of reading into things and extrapolation, also some large assumptions on how the world works that may or may not comport with reality.
Would you like to correct me if I am wrong? I shocked this wasn't another one of your famous crazy long posts.

Read this for some other (crazy) perspectives:
Black lives matter exactly as much as they are needed to create advancements that will sell in the fast developing parts of africa, same as advancing females to promote innovation generation matters mostly for when we drive India to get through the same cultural advancements within a decade and get their female workforce in the higher education sector online.

Oh and they matter of course everytime, when you would want to prevent social uprising within your own country --

and they matter in self advancement strategies of people buying equality storytelling, or did so a while ago.

Apart from that they matter on the individual level.

But certainly not on the cultural level, where we'd like for corporate sensitivity training to take over please. Or facebooks new worldwide ethics. One of those would be fine. ;)

Everyone happy now? ;)

Oh - and apart from that there is potential in getting the right people into the right positions independent of certain prejudices - and always the hope, that if they dont manage to produce something astonishing right about now, they can still serve as rolemodels to pacify their constituency. ;)


edit: Oh, and there is a problem with police culture and racism in the US, that really ought to be solved by now - but please not by toppling the institutions, signed - the current administration.

edit2: Oh, and we didnt teach people in universities, how to deal with disruptive innovation, so if someone could come along and help us with that - that would be neat as well. Diverse leadership teams, probably would help.

On advancing the societal standing of POC you are correct. But making society equal - might not be all there is in terms of outcome.

Making it "more equal" (shedding prejudices, providing more opportunities to people on equal grounds) is a valiant and valid goal though.

edit: Here is another crazy persons opinion on why the corporate push for more diversity in leadership teams - can be prejudice as well:


The person speaking is not so much needed/wanted anymore, by current management standards btw - which are more targeted towards telling people how wonderful they are and manage themselves most of the time - as well as make them act as wanted by applying soft skills. (The person in the video might lack some soft skills, is what I'm saying.)

I can do a Venn diagram if you like. Pretty sure all encompasses all the hues of power rangers though.
Could someone want to say all and instead mean your list of exemptions and tweaks... sure. To presume all that would is... presumptive to say the least.
Almost as amusing as presuming those that can bring themselves to say the apparently magic words are inherently so pure of heart and not just capitulating to the demands of a mob to stay hidden.
By and large one does also tend to operate under the assumption that the plain meanings of the words are the ones that are meant. To do otherwise does rather make life complicated.

Equally the problem, or indeed lack thereof, of systemic would be one of the assumptions in that. I would still maintain it is more or less done, no great leaps left to make on that front. Far more to gain by sorting the poverty issue. However I believe that was otherwise deemed a boring discussing going nowhere fast earlier in the thread (I think I was being accused of having privilege or something).

Chauvin guilty on all counts.

Hopefully in appeals gets revoke and goes to trial again this trial was damage the moment Biden decided to tell the Jury what to do

Are you drunk? An appeals court isn't going to throw out a jury verdict over something the president said while they were sequestered. That just isn't how anything works. The judges will likely take one look at the video and rule the statement harmless error.

Offering an opinion on the trial is not telling the jury what to do. You also know juries are typically sequestered, particularly when they're jurors in a high profile case, right? You're talking more nonsense than usual, and that's a high bar for you.

The president and other demos telling it has to go a certain way is a sad day a day where the mob wins I don't think I have ever seen a president tell the Jury what to do what ta shamefully day I hope the lawyer appeals

Biden did nothing improper, and the jury was sequestered. Your desire for a convicted murderer to go free will likely go unfulfilled.
