Here's an example I just got in a newsletter 15 minutes ago. PS: Bari Weiss is a lesbian, feminist writer who resigned from the NYT last year because she could not endure it any longer.

Will white people ever return to TV commercials?
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
If I'm listening or interacting with someone and they use the words: fraught, colonialism, systemic, internalized, or climate change I immediately know where they are coming from and not to waste time on them.
Intersectional, privilege, whiteness.
“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”
Speaking of language, I just got this newsletter a few minutes ago (a lot of timeliness today):

Using the words of the late Rodney King can't we all just get along!
He said that, what, almost 30 years ago? And it seems things are worse now than then. And the poor guy drowned at 47!
From Wikipedia--
>>On August 23, 2012, King's autopsy results were released, stating he died of accidental drowning. The combination of alcohol, cocaine, and PCP found in his system were contributing factors, as were cardiomegaly and focal myocardial fibrosis. The conclusion of the report stated: "The effects of the drugs and alcohol, combined with the subject's heart condition, probably precipitated a cardiac arrhythmia, and the subject, incapacitated in the water, was unable to save himself."
Al Sharpton delivered the eulogy at King's funeral.<<

Lately I see commercials geared for specific types of people. So when I see a commercial advertising a product, & at the end of the commercial I see 2 guys kissing, I vow to never purchase that product. GARY

America is an idea, not an ethnic group.
I can’t stand yankees for a reason.
