After years of contemplating how we can resolve and “fix” racism I keep going back to this quote from 1938
The answer seems to be that white folks need to help other white folks to change and evolve
Challenge it all you want but change is the only solution I can find
Also, now’s the time to start

A quote:
“Let the white [people] make a supreme effort in their resolve to contribute their share to the solution of this problem, to abandon once for all their usually inherent and at times subconscious sense of superiority, to correct their tendency towards revealing a patronizing attitude towards the members of the other race, to persuade them through their intimate, spontaneous and informal association with them of the genuineness of their friendship and the sincerity of their intentions, and to master their impatience of any lack of responsiveness on the part of a people who have received, for so long a period, such grievous and slow-healing wounds.”

~Shoghi Effandi, 1938

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

“But it’s fun and it makes my life easier”

Is it and does it? Or are buying into the bullshit? Are you okay burning shit to the ground so you can generate some bullshit picture that probably already exists on the internet?

Will I use AI? No

Do I think the use cases are worthwhile? Absolutely not

Do I think it’s immoral to use AI, a biased, guessing machine with data centers that destroy Black and brown neighbors? Yeah, and if you don’t, reread the question

Every year Musk tells his shareholders a bunch of made up shit so they give him money
Altman does the same thing
It’s all smoke and mirrors to get them money. They are flimflam men

I think that folks need to stop giving credit to AI grifters

By this i mean stop assuming they desire to build what they are SAYING they want to build

And start accepting they are selling exactly what they want to sell.

Gaza has around 20,000 unexploded Israeli bombs amid up to 70 million tonnes of rubble, posing a massive threat to Palestinians, as removal is blocked by Israel’s ban on heavy equipment, according to the Government Media Office.

What I’m saying is there’s a cat-solution to this cat-problem and it’s horrifying

On the plus side, you still have these horrors

a hairless cat with big blue eyes is laying on a blanket

Dear white folks,
This needs to be you. The communities you live in need you to defend them, to fight for them

My wife was staring at that word, trying to figure out what it meant
“Something fire show” she says
And then she looked it up, “fireplace inspection”? Fun

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

You're telling me its more civilized now than when we stood next to 25 drunken men and children (the children were drunk, you can't prove they weren't) and peed on dumped out, ever replenished bags of ice
This is shocking
