I’m still with Dr King who urged us to judge others by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. Words to live by.

I wonder if Grant believes Dr. King's followers should be open to changing their opinion of his teachings "based on the data we have today."

And “Frederick Douglass, Bayard Rustin, and Martin Luther King. They succeeded not because they made people more aware of race but because they did the opposite, by persuading us to look beyond mere complexions to our vast common humanity“

Judging people by anything other than the color of their skin is White Supremacy(TM). Or something like that. I lost interest after I heard that fitness is extreme right wing, math is racist and men are women if they say so. Trying to have a rational, reality based conversation with these insufferable people is like trying to teach a pig to read. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Grant and Anderson seem to be arguing the opposite here. That we must judge people by the color of their skin; that's the only path that's properly enlightened.

just read today that marriage is a "White privilege concept"

Wait until I tell my Hispanic wife that she is emotionally hurting me in this white institution.

My advice after 38 years of marriage is tread lightly.

By coincidence, my wife and I are in Zaragoza Spain at a craft beer bar as I type this. No shortage of muy bonita Hispanic women around here. Por favor, don't tell mi esposa that I said that
