Systemic change? Let me call my buddy who's an expert on social justice. Sorry, best I can do is (checks notes) blame COVID on BLM protests.

One of those is really hard and will take years, maybe decades, of consistent effort, while the others are relatively quick and easy.

Without dealing with the grotesque failures of the USA's entire socioeconomic model, those in power will offer nothing of value until forced
GenStrike
Wholeheartedly agree. Without a strong protest movement, a vote in and of itself is insufficient. We need to ORGANIZE!

Honest question, what changes do you want? I am not willing to accept the BLM change because it is Marxist (refer to their website).

Thought the template was a continuation of the commentary. Was very effective.

Larry from Parks and Rec was a truck driver on Malcolm in the Middle.

Ok, we get what you’re saying. Well take those Golden Girls episodes off air where they are getting mud masks. Happy blacklivesmatters to u!
jimmyriba
In times like these, we must stand together to change programming language and github terminology. It's what George Floyd would have wished!
jimmyriba
If he wasn't dead. Happy BLM!
cowboyshooter
github terminology?
jimmyriba
Github wants to replace the "master"-branch, because of its connotations to slavery. Utterly useless symbolism.

wait until someone finds out that hard drives used to be called Master and Slave!

I'm as white as Dracula's ghost and think we need to stop celebrating bastards like Cecil Rhodes and various slave traders and imperialists.

But which directionless fools are painting the murals, knocking down statues and removing black faces from posters & products?

James Baldwin has basically covered why things pretty much won't change. They may change on an individual level but that is slow and right->
LincLoud
now we need some quick, dramatic change.
HCBailly
How do you suggest doing that when one presidential candidate won't do anything and the other only wants incremental reform?
GenStrike
Good question. Keep poking at that one.
LincLoud
No clue. We could stop giving so much power to one office since the president isn't even responsible for drafting laws, that's Congress. ->
LincLoud
It's why his office isn't called the "legislative" branch, but the "executive". The president isn't a king or a god and we should stop->

seeing anyone in said office as such.

If it applies to all people equally. Don’t replace one poor system that allegedly benefits one group with another one.

Nobody. It's a strawman.

Because those areas are already overrepresented by rich white people. That's why affirmative action exists.

Affirmative action is a band aid, not a cure. If we fix the problem, Affirmative action won't be necessary any more. But fixing the problem

Inherently, this is systemic change. You tear down the supremacist authority displayed in public spaces, and begin to heal rhetorical wounds

Next involves developing community organizations that invest in equitable solutions that heals social debts to historically marginalized—

As a whole. For those in power, equity looks like oppression. It’s not.
