So it is “common sense” to believe the amount of melanin in a person’s skin is a determinative factor in their ability to meritoriously achieve positions of power and influence?
“So it is “common sense” to believe the amount of melanin in a person’s skin is a determinative factor in their ability to meritoriously achieve positions of power and influence?”
Yes.
How ignorant of you.
The shame of this is you can hide behind a keyboard and remain anonymous. I sincerely doubt you would spout such a hideous opinion if your true identity was attached to it.
You seem confident in your statement. But are you confident enough to see the error in it?
Let’s start with this assertion which I believe to be true and which contradicts your claim:
There is no black person in a position of authority or influence that didn’t get their by their abilities.
“You seem confident in your statement.”
I am.
“I sincerely doubt you would spout such a hideous opinion if your true identity was attached to it.”
Oliver Wade.
So she suffered from severe mental illness, like anorexics. Odd nobody would have picked up on this in conversation.
You’re not engaging with me due to what seems to be fear.
“You’re not engaging with me due to what seems to be fear.”
I did.
I’m wondering if it really was suicide. I’ve read of many cases initially labeled suicide and years later shown to be homicide.
Well if she was privy to BLM’s recent financial shenanigans, who knows. We need Jim Rockford on the job.
There is no black person in any position of authority or influence who doesn’t have abilities pertaining to that position.
If they had no abilities for the position, they wouldn’t be there.
“If they had no abilities for the position, they wouldn’t be there.”
Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris is probably the least capable person anyone’s ever even thought of for vice resident, or even for sweeping the bathroom or the street corner, but her ability level is still higher than zero.
The point is, a person can squeak by on 70% ability and 30% affirmative action, or even 30-70.
“Kamala Harris is probably the least capable person anyone’s ever even thought of for vice resident,”
Affirmative action.
You and I agree on the problem of affirmative action.
But we disagree about the abilities of black people.
By the way, there’s lots of white people in positions of authority and influence who got there by another, informal kind of affirmative action, not their abilities.
Coincidentally, Kamala Harris allegedly also used this kind of back door affirmative action.
Biden proves your point. I never imagined that a person who has even difficulty putting together a sentence would become POTUSl
Good post. Yes, there are a lot of accomplished Black people.
I have seldom, if ever, had a prejudice, a pre-judgment, involving black Americans. However, sometimes I have concluded after the fact.
My boss was a black woman. She was two promotions ahead of many white men who had the same education as she and many more years of experience. That is all objective. Now for the subjective.
A few of those white men were duds. They accumulated years, not accomplishments. I have no problem with their lack of promotion(s). The vast middle were average performers, as was she. A few of the white me were exceptional performers.
Because of affirmative action white men who performed exceptionally well and had years of experience were passed over twice in favor of a less experienced and accomplished black woman. I don’t blame her. I do feel sorry for those men. They either took other jobs elsewhere or retired.
The organization itself suffered. One brick does build a wall and one mistaken promotion usually does not kill an organization. Unfortunately, this was the first, not the last, affirmative action choice, and the organization subsequently went downhill.
The jokes on her. She likely jumped from the 28th floor because many tall buildings don’t usually have a 13th floor.
Was she really under consideration by Uncle Joe?
I will respond to some of her detractors. I think she was pretty enough. It is hard to be analytical about female beauty, it can depend on so many things. Apparently photo shoots take many, many pictures, to choose the one that works to greatest affect. Also, some women are more attractive in motion (in life), than can be captured in a photo.
I am struck by this death and the recent death of Zoe Bethel. Both were highly accomplished beauty queens, black, and now dead. Zoe had strong conservative connections. I don’t know about Kryst’s political leanings.
