Is this a real woke moment, or just more of the same?

TWEET METhe NFL has announced that before every game they will sing the black national anthem, the AP will now capitalize the B when referring to black people, food brands are changing their "racially insensitive" names, and the football team in Washington is finally considering changing their name because of corporate pressure.

 Some folks would look at this and be impressed, but I am not one of them. These types of gestures and platitudes that go along with them, are all just window dressing that fails to address the real issues that can bring about meaningful change in society when it comes to matters of race.

If the NFL really wants to contribute to the fight for equality they will stop giving lip service to the Rooney Rule, and start taking serious steps to make sure that people of color are given a chance to be head coaches and general managers in a league that is seventy percent black.  They can also do a little soul searching and come to grips with why they black balled Colin Kaepernick and ran him out of the league. The same for all these corporations who have all of sudden found a conscience. 

Honestly, when it comes to all of these "gestures" of goodwill from corporations and organizations, I take the Missouri position. You have to show me. Talk is cheap, and it will get you to the next news cycle after America's woke moment is over. I am pretty sure, that as it has in the past, we will be going be back to square one, and we will have to visit these types of battles all over again.

Indeed as John Rice eloquently wrote for The Atlantic, there are degrees of racism. I think the days of witnessing first degree racism, while not over, thanks to cell phone cameras, are becoming less widespread. The other degrees of racism, however, will not easily go away.

Rice wrote:

"The final, most pernicious category undergirds the everyday black experience. When employers, educational institutions, and governmental entities do not unwind practices that disadvantage people of color in the competition with whites for economic and career mobility, that is fundamentally racist—not to mention cancerous to our economy and inconsistent with the American dream. For example, the majority of white executives operate as if there is a tension between increasing racial diversity and maintaining the excellence-based “meritocracies” that have made their organizations successful. After all, who in their right mind would argue against the concept of meritocracy?

When these executives are challenged on hiring practices, their first excuse is always “The pipeline of qualified candidates is too small, so we can only do so much right now.” Over the past 20 years, I have not once heard an executive follow up the “pipeline is too small” defense with a quantitative analysis of that pipeline. This argument is lazy and inaccurate, and it attempts to shift the responsibility to fix an institution’s problem onto black people and the organizations working to advance people of color. When asked why they have so few minorities in senior leadership roles, executives’ most common response is “There are challenges with performance and retention.” To reinforce their meritocracy narrative, white leaders point to the few black people they know who have made it to the top, concluding inaccurately that they were smarter and worked harder than the rest.

Organizations cannot be meritocracies if their small number of black employees spend a third of their mental bandwidth in every meeting of every day distracted by questions of race and outcomes. Why are there not more people like me? Am I being treated differently? Do my white colleagues view me as less capable? Am I actually less capable? Will my mistakes reflect negatively on other black people in my firm? These questions detract from our energy to compete for promotions with white peers who have never spent a moment distracted in this way. I wager that 90 percent of the white executives who read these last sentences are now asking, particularly after recent events, “How did we miss that?” This dimension of racism is particularly hard to root out, because many of our most enlightened white leaders do not even realize what they are doing. This is racism in the third degree, akin to involuntary manslaughter: We are not trying to hurt anyone, but we create the conditions that shatter somebody else’s future aspirations. Eliminating third-degree racism is the catalyst to expanding economic power for people of color, so it merits focus at the most senior levels of education, government, and business.

Employers whose efforts to increase diversity lack the same analytical and executional rigor that is taken for granted in every other part of their business engage in practices that disadvantage black people in the competition for economic opportunity. By default, this behavior protects white people’s positions of power. The nonprofit organization that I have built over the past 20 years, Management Leadership for Tomorrow, has advanced more than 8,000 students and professionals of color toward leadership positions, and we partner with more than 120 of the most aspirational employers to support their diversity strategy, as well as their recruiting and advancement efforts. Yet I have not seen 10 diversity plans that have the foundational elements that organizations require everywhere else: a fact-based diagnosis of the underlying problems, quantifiable goals, prioritized areas for investment, interim progress metrics, and clear accountability for execution. Expanding diversity is not what compromises excellence; instead, it is our current approach to diversity that compromises excellence and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We can increase the cost of this behavior by calling on major employers to sign on to basic practices that demonstrate that black lives matter to them. These include: (1) acknowledging what constitutes third-degree racism so there is no hiding behind a lack of understanding or fuzzy math, (2) committing to developing and executing diversity plans that meet a carefully considered and externally defined standard of rigor, and (3) delivering outcomes in which the people of color have the same opportunities to advance.

Companies that sign on will be recognized and celebrated. Senior management teams that decline to take these basic steps will no longer be able to hide, and they will struggle to recruit and retain top talent of all colors who will prefer firms that have signed on. The economic and reputational costs will increase enough for behavior and rhetoric to change. Then more people of color will become economically mobile, organizations will become more diverse and competitive, and there will be a critical mass of black leaders whose institutional influence leads to more racially equitable behavior. These leaders will also have the economic power to further elevate the cost of all other types of racist behavior, in policing, criminal justice, housing, K–12 education, and health care—systems that for decades have been putting knees on the necks of our most vulnerable citizens and communities.

Third-degree racism can be deadly. For at least the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mandated that in order to get tested, you had to go to a primary-care doctor to get a prescription and then, in some areas, also get a referral to a specialist who could approve a test, because they were in limited supply. That process made it much harder for minorities to access tests, because they are much less likely to have  primary-care physicians. This is one of several reasons the hospitalization and death rates for minorities are disproportionately higher than those for whites. If the people who designed that process knew up front that they would be exposed as racist, fired, and ostracized if their approach put minorities at a greater health risk than white people, they would have designed it differently and saved black lives. Just having a critical mass of minorities in decision-making roles regarding that test-qualification process would have also saved many lives.

Rooting out third-degree racism is what will ultimately change the narrative about race. When white people see more black people on the same path as they are, when white people are working in diverse organizations, and when they are proximate to black leaders beyond athletes and entertainers, only then will they stop fearing and feeling superior to the black people they don’t know." {Source}

All these so called changes being made in corporate thinking is fine, and it all sounds and looks good from a public relations standpoint. But unless there is a real effort to tackle the type of institutionalized racism that has been implemented over decades, this too shall pass. And years from now, long after Donald trump, we will be right back to square one wondering how we ever got back to this point.

    47% of adults in Detroit are functionally illiterate, and the White fraction of that 47% is probably close to nil.  That's why your pipeline is so small.

    Detroit has an illiteracy rate comparable to some African countries.

    Mathematically speaking if what you say is true, 53 percent of the adults in Detroit are literate. That's a pretty big pipeline. And if 14 percent of them are black, this is a source of potential employees. Recruiting qualified Blacks to fill positions requires some effort on the part of the companies doing the hiring. That's where it all starts. Until employers are willing to do this, not much will change.

    I recommend you read "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin.

    "For four weeks Griffin, his skin chemically darkened, posed as an itinerant black. He wandered the South, hitchhiking, seeking work, and talking and listening to people black and white. His journal of those weeks became a series of magazine articles and then a book, Black Like Me. In passionate first person prose it brought home to millions of American whites the misery and injustice daily endured by American blacks. It opened eyes and seized hearts and changed minds." https://www.americanheritage.com/man-who-changed-his-skin

    If you walked for one day in a black man's shoes, you would change your attitude.

    Right On Field....
    This is why you're one of the best!!!!!!

    You get it. Unfortunately, not enough Blacks get it. You'd be surprised (or maybe you wouldn't be)
    at how many Black folks believed that just because Obama was elected as President that all of a sudden
    racism in America went away.

    Well, surprise, surprise.

    They throw a few "meaningless crumbs" at Black folks just to "quiet them down" and make them forget.

    But in the case that's going on right now they are just trying to "quiet down the millions of Whites that are marching with Black folks. Because they know that White folks vote and White folks also know how to "put them out of business!"

    For example: Native Americans have told them for years that the Red Skins is a racist term and that the name of the team should be changed. But they didn't give a damn. Because, "as usual" the slave master gets to decide what is racist and what is not...rather than respect and listen the people that they are offending. Go figure: Your ancestors slaughter and wipe out an entire nation of Native Americans and then name a team and then they have the audacity to design a logo with a picture of an Indian Chief and a racist name for the team.

    For example: Blacks have been calling out police brutality ever since policing in American came into existence. It fell on "deaf ears" until Whites marched and protested it. Now, all of a sudden the "powers that be" are scrambling to "do something about it." Really, oh really.

    But because Black folks continue to be the most accepting, forgiving, and trusting race of people...they will continue to be duped and taken advantage of.

    So, Therefore, all of this "window dressing" is just more of the same. There will NEVER be any real change because throughout the 400+ history of America, the overwhelming majority of European Americans have never wanted to and still refuse to share the wealth of the nation with anyone that doesn't "look like them."

    ...notice I said "that looks like them" because both your mammy and your pappy could be Black but as long as you "look white" they're comfortable with that.

    But that's another topic in itself.

  11. I have to agree with Bishop Barber on this one: the chance for lasting change here depends largely on our ability to convert passion into policy.

    Attention spans are short here in America, especially in the media.
    From watching the media you would think that the protests are all over and there weren't tens of thousands of folks still in the streets.

    But they really are still out there. How much longer they will stay there remains to be seen, but they want change here and now, and the only way they'll get it is to turn their momentum into statute.

    The bit about third degree racism reminded me a little of something Jon Stewart said the other day about how he confronted the ingrained rich white maleness of the management of the entertainment industry.

    He said that it took them a while to figure it out, but the "pipeline" to higher responsibility positions in TV is usually filled by the interns they hired, and since they were unpaid positions, they were filtering staff by applicants who could afford to spend three months with no income in New York City, and those folks will indeed tend to be rich, white, and male.

    So they started paying their interns, and all of the sudden their entire staff had diversity of backgrounds, which he said raised the overall quality of their output, and you have to admit, alums of the Daily Show have taken a major chunk of broadcast entertainment, so perhaps he was onto something.

    He did mention that attempts at diversity for diversity's sake tended to put those hires into positions of pressure to "represent" for whatever group they were hired from, and that did present obstacles to their performance that the rest of the staff didn't face, so it wasn't the real solution, which was to just get a real diversity of backgrounds in hiring to be the norm so as to present everyone with roughly equal opportunity to perform at their ability levels.

    "Wow! Thanks, Mike. Now watch the Republicans do an about face on gun-control laws! Their motto has always been, 'Guns for everyone except Blacks.'"

    Why would they do an about-face? "Guns for everyone except blacks" is still absolutely their motto.

    Well, not their official motto, which is something more like: "The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" or some such garbage. But they don't really believe it. Many of them actually think most black guys are by definition bad guys, and we shouldn't actually wait for a good guy to stop them; they should just be forbidden to purchase weapons.

    So if armed parades of black guys toting AR-15s, redneck-style, become commonplace, they won't enact general gun control measures like liberals keep hoping. They'll concoct some crafty backdoor way to selectively invalidate black people's ability to buy guns.

    Maybe they'll just trump up more reasons to arrest and convict black people of bogus felonies so that they're not eligible to own firearms. Listening to R&B and drinking Hennessy will probably become felonies, LOL.

    Never underestimate the ability for racist Republicans to invent new sleazy tactics. It's the one thing they're good at.

    “Could this be the reason Breonna Taylor was murdered?”

    The government wanted to clear all the criminals out of a blighted neighborhood as part of an economic plan to turn that neighborhood around? And busted a drug dealer from that neighborhood in the process?

    File that under “so what?” Even if true, most citizens of Louisville would find that perfectly acceptable and legitimate. I don’t see a problem there, since the guy apparently was an actual drug dealer. Until drugs are totally legalized, the government is free to go after dealers at will.

    The only relevant legal question is whether the cops had probable cause for raiding Breonna Taylor’s house in connection to the drug dealer. It sounds like the basis for carrying out the raid was pretty flimsy if the sum total of the evidence provided to obtain the warrant was that cops had seen the drug dealer exit her home with a package the cops merely believed had contained drugs or other contraband.

    Well, the statue-toppling mania is getting ever stupider.

    It's one thing to demand that governments, by public consensus, take down statues of Confederate generals and other people whose only "accomplishment" was unsuccessfully attempting to defend the institution of slavery. But it's another thing to let angry mobs get away with pulling down whatever monuments they damn well feel like.

    We've since moved on to lefty dimwits attacking the statues of white slavery abolitionists, and Ulysses S Grant, allegedly in the name of fighting racism.

    And, inevitably, now we've reached the next stage, where Nazis have decided to join in the fun by taking out statues of anybody black. A statue of Frederick Douglass was knocked off its base in Rochester, NY. Expect statues of MLK to get dynamited soon.

  58. So it would appear that Mitch McConnell believes he's going to lose the majority in the senate. He may be an evil asshole. but nobody ever accused him of not being able to count votes.
    He's a point down in the polls himself, but it's fucking Kentucky and he cheats, so polling within the margin of error is nothing to get excited about.
    But the despicable bastard is up there warning Democrats not to mess with the filibuster.
    Mitch the fuck McConnell doesn't want the Democrats to mess with his best weapon to rule from the minority.
    Mitch the fuck McConnell is the one who turned the filibuster into a senate rule that nothing can pass without a 60 vote supermajority.
    Mitch the fuck McConnell can fuck right off.
    I'm really not a vindictive person, but I do admit that I will enjoy the look on that despicable fuck's face when he loses his majority and has to start dealing with the Democrats in a majority-rules environment in which he is in the minority.

    I say that there _is_ a powerful communist movement in this country, one that has been in control of our political system for decades. It enforces communism for the rich, and anarchocapitalism for the poor.

    Like communism everywhere, communism-for-the-rich relies on terror and double-think; it destroys the economy; it cannot tolerate dissent; it is highly class-conscious, in this case in favor of the rich; and it degrades the morals of its beneficiaries, in this case the rich.

    And, like communism everywhere, communism-for-the-rich foments revolution. Against itself.

    The Irish weren't considered white at first, they had to _become_ white. Their method was the long march through the institutions. First they were laborers and cops, then athletes and mayors, then singers and Senators, then judges, CEOs, and the President.

    My question is: what were the Irish-American crime statistics, then and now? They had a bad rep back then, one not much mentioned now. My guess is that nothing calms a people down quicker than getting a piece of the action.

    The troll's unproven criminal-essentialism was used against the Irish too; that's part of why the British looked the other way during the Potato Famine, and also during the Troubles. It's only after the IRA bombed the City of London that the Queen took ending the Troubles seriously.

    Wrong.

    Racial differences go far beyond skin color.

    Forensic scientists can tell a person's race by examining their bones or teeth.

    DNA analysis can tell exactly where your ancestors came from.

    Different races are prone to different diseases (e.g. sickle cell anemia). Organ transplants between people of different races have considerably higher rejection rates.

    Different races exhibit talents and predispositions. Dark skin is not why West Africans run faster than anyone else. Light skin is not why Europeans and East Asians are better at science and math.

    Human populations inhabiting very different environments that have been separated for 70,000 years develop considerable differences. All dogs are descended from wolves and have been domesticated for maybe 30,000 years. Dogs have less genetic variability than humans. No one would argue that "breed" is only a 'convention' or social construct rather than a way to recognize genetic differences. A Great Dane is not a Chihuahua. A Golden Retriever has a different disposition than a Pit Bull. But they are all dogs.

    Likewise, we are all equally human. But we have different traits. Denying reality doesn't change it, rather it leads to tragedy.

    True, the idea of "race" has no basis other than skin color. Race is a sociological concept that evolved from human's need to classify everything they see and hear. Classifying is a necessary trait that promotes survival. But opportunists have used it in a negative way for political, material and social gain. I hope we can get past it someday.

    Bullshit. Spike in cases is due to the Floyd riots and a surge of people coming from Mexico into border states.

    George Floyd's family attorney, Benjamin Crump, previously fabricated a witness (Witness #8) out of thin air named Rachel Jeantel [Trayvon Martin case].

    A complete fabrication. Jeantel was not a witness. ABC Matt Guttman knew and sat silent. Truth Has No Agenda

    The key witness against Zimmerman at his trial, Rachel Jeantel, was a fake witness pretending to be Diamond Eugene, the 16-year-old girl who was on the phone with Trayvon in the last minutes before his death.

    Diamond Eugene, who only reluctantly and belatedly came forward under what Crump in a TV interview admitted was pressure from the Trayvon camp, had now balked, whether because she did not want to commit perjury under oath or because she did not want her boyfriend to know she had also been romancing Trayvon — or both. The “solution” was to substitute Rachel Jeantel, whom Gilbert believes (on the basis of DNA evidence) is Diamond Eugene’s half-sister, although she is poles apart in appearance and intelligence and proved a terrible witness on the stand.

    The media, for all its obsession with the story, showed no interest in exploring even surface aspects that should have aroused suspicion. Crump had repeatedly emphasized that Diamond Eugene was a minor, only 16 years old. Rachel Jeantel was 18. Nor did anyone puzzle over the oddity that someone named Rachel Jeantel should be nicknamed “Diamond Eugene.” The media are equally lazy and irresponsible this time around. Their reaction to having their narrative upended has been to bury the story, and when that has proved no longer possible, to heap scorn on it — they’ve done everything but look into it."

    Not nearly half but a huge chunk of folks. That's just the rough estimates, I'm sure the numbers will go up or down as we get closer to October. Thanks for caring.

    In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!

    Yeah, Donald Trump does not understand the part about how someone named Donald Trump fucked up and failed to reduce infection rates nationwide, which is why other countries can safely open their schools this fall and America can't.*

    *Side note: Sweden's government also fucked up and are also in denial about it, much like Trump. They shouldn't be opening their schools, either, until they can get viral levels under control.

    Brazil's Trumpian President Jair Bolsonaro has mocked his staffers for wearing masks, coming out and literally saying they are "for fairies."

    Bolsonaro is now infected with COVID, and his country has one of the worst infection rates in the world.

    It's such a weird coincidence that most of the countries with failing responses to COVID-19 happen to be ruled by far-right pieces of shit who think they can create their own reality by lying constantly.

    "True, the idea of "race" has no basis other than skin color."

    Such astounding ignorance can only be achieved by extreme effort. Bravo White Woman, you really work hard at being wrong.
    -----------------
    Well, I know a couple of things: Regardless of your views, the so called "races" share common blood types, can donate and receive "inter racial" organ transplants, and can produce fertile off spring when they mate with members of another "race." So I have concluded that we are all one "race: the human race. We are all God's children.

    Please don't try to convince me other wise. You will just be wasting you time.
