I would be more inclined to think that people like Thomas truly believe that if anyone ever expressed the thought that white people must face doubts that they have earned their achievements rather than getting them because people of color face massive discrimination.

I'm going to say the same thing I just said in a different way. He seems to think AA is a problem because it gives people an ostensible reason for bias. That only makes sense if you really think bias is caused by government programs, and not by all the other things that have caused bias ever.

I can see how you and ggg think that way, but Bezos’s penis is actually smaller than most (nttawwt) so it could have worked.

He thinks AA harms "them" because it demands more of them than they can handle.
Arguing with racists is hard.

I have one ex relative who got cane on by her movie son in an American Pie direct to video episode. Your relative and my ex relative have equal import to the point I was making.

I just finished Bad Blood, and the last quarter of the book is about David Boies's firm trying to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing the articles that took Theranos down. There was some shady, shady shit involved there, and the PI industry is well paid to dig up dirt in these cases.
ETA: This article on Boies's fall from grace is pretty interesting. I didn't know about the book litigation.

Re: Doesn’t Matter Who Wins the K Race; We’re All the Same
Awkward thought that these boards are sorta for: I’ve always thought Jessica Williams, who is smart and super funny, was quite attractive and never thought of her as having a lighter complexion (was gonna say “light skinned” but that seemed weird from me even though you hear it that way). Then Lupita was on 2 Dope Queens and made me question everything.
Anywho, Lupita is absolutely stunning and has completely stunning skin (yeah, that last bit is likely a bit racist).
