    I note with interest there wasn't much diversity on those slave cruise ships bringing all those slaves vacationers to their plantations BNBs in America.

    How weighted is it? What are the different standards for minorities? Do you know them?
    They must be really different to support your claim:

    Excellent post, thank you. Honest Q and feel free to PM if you'd rather not respond here - to what degree do you feel free/safe to share this sentiment openly at your institution?

    Pffft! Holy shit. You went for it? Your wife voted for Kamala and is feeding you this line to massage your ego.

    This is a much more balanced and reasonable response than mine, but I still like mine better. :p

    To my way of looking at things, race has nothing do with "woke".

    How thoughtful. I appreciate you checking on us, Bluke. We’ve definitely had some ups and downs. We still don’t really have insurance money and aren’t back into our house yet, but we are finally making some forward progress. The kitchen is coming along. Our goal is to be back in the house by Christmas. Hopefully that isn’t too optimistic.

    That was a pretty revealing post wasn't it? Lot of anger and hate.

    I appreciate that davis, and yours is a perceptive question. I don’t feel super comfortable sharing this sentiment openly. I may probe this topic in one on one conversations, but little chance I would voice such views in a faculty meeting. How are you feeling at your place?
