why are we pretending that race shouldn't be predominant when remedying racism?
it's the same problem I've always had with affirmative action being about "diversity" rather than quotas.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SHOULD BE ABOUT QUOTAS.
REMEDYING RACISM IN VOTING SHOULD CONSIDER RACE PREDOMINANTLY.

The US is experiencing corruption the way they are experiencing measles. So many institutions had been inoculated against it that they thought it was no longer necessary to be afraid of it and now the outbreak is here and not enough institutions have immunity.

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Hey Pandora, I know I said like that one country song, but you don't have to insert it every time, regardless of genre I'm listening to at the time. Kinda spoils the vibe sometimes.
