- VA Elects GOP Governor -

So the youngster tried twice to get a ballot and vote, even after being told the first time he was ineligible. Not only is he thick or determined to be corrupt, if he had been "immigrant-looking" then he would be in jail already.

Also , this begs the question: Was he the only one? How many OTHER GOP voters, including underage thickheads, tried the same tactic of voting twice or more, and succeeded without being detected?

Answering my own question: It appears that a couple of the youngster's friends did exactly that. Yo! High five, dudes!

It's actually kind of reassuring. We know Warp12 isn't hanging around in the kind of ignorant white people echo chambers where that kind of idea might be commonplace.

Well, of course some people are going think that. Why wouldn't they? I mean you have people like Robin DiAngelo suggesting that white people need to behave in ways that are "less white". Whereas you don't often hear people suggest that black people behave in ways that are "less black".
A lot of people are not going to get behind that use of language.

You know exactly what I am saying. It's not like people are generally celebrating books and training materials that are telling people that "blackness" is defined as a group of all negative traits.

For example, if a black person goes to work, they are not likely to be presented with training materials that say, "to be less black is to be less murderous", or "to be less black is to be less lazy". I doubt you will see a best-selling book on "Black Fragility and Thugishness" anytime soon.

These stupid racial generalizations have gained a lot of popularity when targeting whites, lately, however. Hence, as I say, you are going to get some pushback from people who equate such stupidity to CRT. Of course, the Democrats just know they are the smartest people in the audience, and they make that clear to voters. I hope they keep it up.

In the meantime, we can all celebrate Youngkin's victory.

Nobody suggested that we did not understand what you meant...we were quite sure exactly what you meant. Thank you for confirming...though it was really not neccessary.

Because most of us here are grown-ups.

Meanwhile, there's still some manky brats getting about with confederate flags and guns who have yet to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election. Some even live in big houses in Florida. Perhaps you might tell them that it is OK to accept these sorts of things and to stop pouting.

 

[ahhell]

I haven't seen much evidence of that.

Yes, we all know exactly what you are saying.

I haven't seen much evidence of that.

I did say "most" of us here are grown-ups. There's some notable exceptions.

These days, young black people are more likely to be told to act "less black" by their parents in an effort to reduce the chance of being shot by the police during a traffic stop.
I remember a TV show from the early 90s in which a black character was embarrassed to admit that, whenever he interacted with the police, he would hike up his pants and act like Steve Urkel to make sure he seemed harmless.

I don't know whether to be relieved or irritated that white supremacists have no notion of code switching.

Not to mention the things black women have been coerced to do to their hair in order to get and keep jobs.

How exactly does this figure into the election results?

 

[Carlotta]

Pardon me. I thought someone said something about being told to act less black for jobs.

Not to mention the things black women have been coerced to do to their hair in order to get and keep jobs.

True. From WAPO:

"In 2017, at a gala luncheon hosted at the opulent Cipriani 42nd Street in New York, Minda Harts found herself seated next to a recruiter for corporate board positions. Over cocktails and a plated fish entree, the two talked about race in the boardroom; the recruiter, a white woman, complained about the challenges of finding black women to be corporate directors.

To test how she’d respond, Harts, who founded a career development company for women of color and had a book on the topic released in August, asked the recruiter who she would feel more comfortable putting forward as a candidate for a board: a woman of color with a sleek ponytail, or one with a natural hairstyle such as locs or an Afro. The recruiter said the woman with the ponytail, Harts recalled. “The phrase she used was ‘clean-cut,’ ” Harts said.

“I’ll be honest with you: I wear my hair straight probably 99 percent of the time because, being in corporate America, I’ve seen how clients who have braids and natural hairstyles can be looked upon.”

You want a job? Change your name from Jamal to James or LaKeesha to Laura:

"Every day, a black-name resume is 50 percent less likely to get responded to than a white-name resume," Ross said. "Right? That’s everyday racism."

While white-sounding names spurred 50 percent more callbacks than the ones with black-sounding names, black-sounding names were 33 percent less likely to get responded to.

"We find little evidence that our results are driven by employers inferring something other than race, such as social class, from the names," their paper states. "These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market."

Politifact rated this Mostly True.


Yeah, blacks aren't being told to be 'less black and more white'.

Stacy, your comment has nothing to do with Youngkin's victory, or why some may find CRT to be controversial at election time. You have not refuted my above statement in any way.

And what the hell does less black mean anyway?
