An eye opener for me

I’m in the weather business and we ran a seminar Saturday for people who want to pursue a weather broadcasting career.
12 people attended and 7 were young black women ranging 20-27 years old. These girls were utterly non hoochie mommas, educated, motivated, solid family backgrounds, religious, Go getters
BUT they were incredibly emotion driven in what they feel life should be offering. Obsessed about making humanity fair and equal for all. And not equal opportunity but equal outcomes.
If the best and brightest are so absorbed in this “cumbayah” outlook for life then we thinkers are in for a more formidable challenge than I realized

It's the current MODE-----in the communities of
"PEOPLE OF COLOR" Be optimistic. MODES
come and go. Remember the micro-mini?----very
rarely seen now------but I recall shortening EVERY
DRESS AND SKIRT I owned -----even those unwieldy
pleated things-----anything with a length greater than
15 inches from waist to UPPER THIGH looked awkward. It was a SELF DEFEATING MODE as is the
UPPER MIDDLE CLASS FOR ALL ethos----the mode of
today. It works like a mini------damned uncomfortable in cold weather on a metal chair---eventually the ass chills

So then, to you, these women are not "thinkers"? Even though you seem to admire their motivation and upbringing?
Some of it is that these young black women have grown up seeing how people from their race are treated. Some of it is the idealism that the youth growing up today espouses.
Face it, demographics are changing. The young people growing up today would like to see a more idealistic world than the one that has been just about handed to them...by us.
....you mean the perceived treatment of their race ....they teach their kids to hate whitey/cops/America

Oh Come On man! NO ONE is teaching anyone to hate anybody.

pffffft
