Off topic.... The [sic] used numerous times after the word “white” is ridiculous. It should have been used after the word “Black”.
Neither word is a pronoun; they are only colors.
I’m reminded of a song I learned in vacation bible school back in the 1940s....
Red and yellow, black and white
We are equal in his sight
Jesus loves the little children in the world
(No offense to “brown” folks intended)
You saw that too, eh?
Yes, but I’m not sure why the white is [sic’ed]. Does she (the writer reading ehr propaganda points from the NYTimes style sheet) use “verbal quote marks” when speaking?
