Someone posted following link in another forum: 'Unintelligent' blacks 'brainwashed' to choose street cred over success: Charles Barkley: https://www.al.com/news/2014/10/unintelligent_blacks_brainwash.html So you can't simply blame racist whites, it's also blacks among themselves. And we have more do-gooders: Twitter engineers replacing racially loaded tech terms like 'master,' 'slave': https://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-engineers-replace-racially-loaded-tech-terms-like-master-slave/ |
