I wasn't aware this was a thing on social media after Charlottesville, likely started by some very fine people. People change over time. Some regress. Some progress. trump went from a D to a Nazi. Lincoln became more sympathetic after meeting Fredrick Douglas. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-lincoln-racism-equality-oppose/ -

I can’t imagine any of the professional or management blacks that I know using the word. I think it’s used by the same socioeconomic strata in both races. There are more poor, uneducated blacks than whites as a percentage. -

"We wanted to better understand the culture of Whiteness and support parents to challenge it" how many of the racists here had/have parents who used the n word within their home on a regular basis? racism begets racism. stupidity begets stupidity. -

they being mike davis and nc. I'm partial to this definition: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3941081/ Definitions are given in an attempt to identify phenomena and to delineate examples from non-examples. Expertise is consensually defined as elite, peak, or exceptionally high levels of performance on a particular task or within a given domain. One who achieves this status is called an expert or some related term, such as virtuoso, master, maven, prodigy, or genius. These terms are meant to label someone whose performance is at the top of the game. An expert's field of expertise can be almost anything from craftsmanship, through sports and music, to science or mathematics. People usually agree on examples of expertise, like Yo-Yo Ma (musical performance), Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (ballroom dancing), Antiques Roadshow Appraisers, Albert Einstein (physics), Tiger Woods (golf), Bette Davis (acting), Nelson Mandela (politics), or Hillary Rodham Clinton (international relations). Why different terms? Each term carries with it a slightly nuanced meaning. Shaded meanings vary in their emphasis on experience or constitutional factors as the source of high levels of performance. The term chosen to characterize superior performance carries with it an implied cause. Like expert, virtuoso or master is the result of hard work and long training. If talent is involved, it is a talent for hard labor. In contrast, prodigy, like genius, results from an endowment, which shows up early in life without the benefit of training. It might be appealing to the layperson to believe that a genius is just born that way. Elite performance just comes natural to a genius; you don't have to invest all that time and effort on training, because if you don't have what it takes you'll never get there. Moreover, you don't have to explain why you never had a significant insight, because you just didn't inherit the right abilities or genes. But the facts seem to be that, although people do differ in something called ability or talent, in sports or medicine or any area of human endeavor, talent is a necessary starting point, a platform from which to begin. To become an elite performer one has to capitalize on his or her abilities. Training is the sine qua non. -

It's varied greatly in the last 10 years More typical numbers recently https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/9/17/HLS-Black-Student-Enrollment/ At least now, we can ignore sour grapes from white applicants. -

tells everyone all they need to know about your lack thereof. Almost every SCOTUS justice is Ivy League. Brown is. Davis is not. But tell me how that's all due to her and his race.... -
