  1. Evidently the counter argument to that position is “quit blaming minorities,” and “bringing back racial covenants.”
  2. If this means that it was something I thought was worth talking about, indeed that’s why I wrote that. No. That’s not what that means, which is only what it says- if I personally were a millennial male who was denied opportunity, I would be bitter about it, and I have to imagine a subset of those people (ie “a few”) were radicalized by the experience. Thank you for a close read, however: That is not my worldview or anything like it, so let me make this clear: - I very much do blame our current situation on affluent white progressives for abandoning majoritarian middle class economic interests in favor of narrow social issues and reinforcing their own economic security and social status. - I have NEVER proposed giving back goddamn inch on anything, particularly when it comes to opening up opportunities in the workplace. - I spent a good bit of my career working on this stuff, which is why I’m trying to be thoughtful about how we could have done more and better. Hope that helps. As for the screed at the bottom, it’s got nothing to do with me, what I think, what I said, or what I do, but if it made you feel better to get it out, I’m glad.
  3. I can’t find it, but apparently they had DOJ and DOD on the record. That’s the executive branch, ie, the White House. Meanwhile, Megyn Kelly can’t decide who to be today:
  4. Yeah I was like “don’t give up on the ticket scalping.”
  5. “That’s not the game these days” because elite 3s that can attack the rim through traffic are so rare.
  6. Totally agree, and it illustrates how intellectually captive we’ve become. Fixing this is a handful of pretty straightforward changes to the tax code. But in order to do that, you need a major political movement to capture a political party and put the economic solidarity of the middle 60% of net worth ahead of literally everything else. I don’t mean it has to exclude everything else. The opposite- it can’t exclude anyone as long as they are willing to put economic solidarity first.

  8. Worth mentioning that the English who invaded were also French
  9. Is that right? Wow
  10. I should hope so. I repeatedly said it did. My viewpoint “started” because what the author of the essay described aligns with my (and others who also posted) first hand experience as an older person watching/involved in the hiring/promotion/layoff process while we tried to correct historical underrepresentation of women and minorities. I questioned how much we accomplished at the time because it seemed like the people benefitting were already mostly products of extraordinary privilege and it had zero impact on the power structures involved, but I really hadn’t thought about the cost or negative impact in generational terms. Indeed, so I’m not sure what it has to do with what I posted. It would be asinine to suggest that diversity efforts are the primary reason millennials or even millennial males struggle, and it would also be inconsistent with hundreds or perhaps thousands of observations on the labor economy I’ve posted here and in previous incarnations of this community over the last 20+ years. I’m not sure what you think my worldview is. That’s why I asked about my angle.
  11. Ouch: a thread

  13. I have no idea what this means. What’s my angle?
  14. Where’s the fun in that?
  15. Neither. It means to sit with them in their feelings, listen, and not argue with them or attempt to explain them away. It’s what separates empathy from sympathy.
