if you read this New Yorker piece:

He echoes a lot of radical black nationalism that I heard a lot growing up. Like my dad was very critical of a core premise of integration and brown v board, which is black kids needed to be around white kids to get a good education.

Anyway, I also agree with the idea that racism is permanent but I don't think that means you can't do anything about it. That is, we need programs like Affirmative Action because we know racism is real and permanant.

I call bullshit on Clarence Thomas because there is an underlying inferiority complex that pervades his thinking. I just don't see a love for his people in his thinking.

Anyway, dude is hella angry and I wish people didn't call him ABC, cause we paying for that billying with Supreme Court decisions.

It's a good read, check it out and let's discuss.
