More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Whew. I would just pack my pens and go after this, Taylor.
You can discount that. You can say that I am wrong. You can say that I am poorly informed. But I think you should think really long & hard before you talk to me like I am a dog or a child, in public or in private. Ask yourself if you really want to do that with me of all people.

Haven’t read the paper yet but in the interest of rigor, I share an excerpt from a write up about the study. It finds that AI is better than humans at interviewing job candidates.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

This is me and my stress levels right now.
I’m just so angry. And hurt. It would be one thing if white people and white-wanna be people chose this for themselves, but they chose it for all of us. And now I’ve got as much hate in my blood as oxygen. Angry, hurt, and wise. This country doesn’t deserve to breathe.
