    Race, gender, sexuality β€” these aren't matters of shame or pride. They aren't the substance of anyone's identity. They're happenstance. I honor the dignity/potential of every individual, but real pride is derivative of character and achievement. Pride isn't trivial; it's earned.

    This is the only way I shake hands now. Prepare yourself.

    I’m in the house by myself, just laughing out loud. It's been about three minutes. I can't stop.

    Lots of these tonight: Ad hominem. Crude racial slurs. Assailed for my *youth*. Derided for my *obvious self-loathing*... and my overconfidence? LEGIONS of strawmen.... Largely absent from all of this; direct rebuttals of particular arguments I made. I need better haters.

    Most people throughout most of history have been subjugated. Your ancestors incl subjects/slaves/servants/serfs. Despite *any* societal defect you can imagine, being a citizen of RIGHT NOW –the most free, literate, prosperous epoch in human history– is an incalculable privilege.

    When a lunatic goes on a deadly rampage, maybe wait 24-48 hrs before co-opting the tragedy to malice your political enemies.

    Folks keep telling me, 'this is progress.' I'll never believe it.

    AOC BREAKS IT RIGHT DOWN: **If you're uninspired by talk of "socialism" or appeals to "defund" the local police dept, this isn’t a matter of honorable disagreement; you're just a racist.** How could anyone not love her!?πŸ˜πŸ€•
    Replying to @AOC
    So the whole β€œprogressivism is bad” argument just doesn’t have any compelling evidence that I’ve seen. When it comes to β€œDefund” & β€œSocialism” attacks, people need to realize these are racial resentment attacks. You’re not gonna make that go away. You can make it less effective.

    "Our past is one of slavery, racism, and injustice. Our systems were built to oppress people of color." The history of humankind is a dense catalog of inhumanity, subjugation. The American project isn't the apogee of that awfulness; it's part of a sharp deviation from the mean.
    CA just became the first state in the nation to mandate the study and development of proposals for reparations. Our past is one of slavery, racism, and injustice. Our systems were built to oppress people of color. It’s past time we acknowledge that. latimes.com/california/sto…

    Nothing screams, "END WHITE SUPREMACY" like a segregated field designated 'blacks only.' They mill about, taking in the sun, surrounded by a cordon of white guardians. Beyond parody. Also, more than a little disturbing.
