We now live in the Intersectional State of America.
Goodbye, Federalism. Goodbye, Bill of Rights. Goodbye, American Culture.
Mackenzie Scott had shown herself to be a megalomaniac in the best white cisgender male heteronormative way. Good equality lens.
When people liked Linda Oubre, a vicious and hateful black woman with a cup the size of a skyscraper on her shoulder come to power, they wield it like a scythe. I never used to feel this way about people with whom I disagreed. But I've been poisoned, too. I seek the antidote daily through sites like this, and the amazing books in my library.
Look at it this way, we would have never known who these people really, really are without this gauntlet, as well as who we are. This is a chance for everyone to grow beyond. It's what we are here to do.
This is a great point, and certainly true as far as it goes. But at a certain point, the spread and coverage of people like Linda Oubre are too vast to counter. It's not "one and done" anymore with these people; it's a full court press to limit options for those who don't share their toxic worldview.
But I surely do take your point to heart and appreciate the reply!
You'd think someone like Oubre, who has achieved positions in business and academia than anyone of any race would envy and admire, would have little reason to have a racial chip on her shoulder. But then she probably got her cues from the most accomplished African American with a meteor-sized chip on his: Barack Obama.
