finding women software designers to motivate promising young women

Women tend to dislike writing software. I think it's genetic.

When women are completely free to do what they want, as in Sweden, they avoid writing software.

Of course there are exceptions, but the notability of the exceptions proves the rule.

HeadSet says

We have something like that in my area. Black students from Hampton University go to the underprivileged Achievable Dream Academy in Newport News

You live near NPN? Interesting. I've never been in the area. I have a cousin-in-law though who insisted on a career as a type-setter maybe 15 years ago when he was laid off from doing just that. They live there. He didn't work for years because well, interwebs mostly replaced newspapers.

Finally, in the last couple of years or so he became a high school janitor. My cousin was a glorified dishwasher at a hospital (ran the autoclave) until her fatness started affecting her health. They've been bleeding my aunt and uncle dry. The drove a used car out there last year from TX to drop it off during the pandemic b/c their car died and they're losers.

These losers are late 40s..

If they'd moved to TX it would have been much more affordable for my aunt/uncle to manage them. I think Newport News is a somewhat expensive area, no?

Didn't we already have an entry about water being racist because "people of color" are being disproportionately drowned by it?\

UPD: Yes, #157

No, Newport News is very affordable. It has everything from Section 8 types to condos to nice waterfront homes on the James River. Even now, $225k will buy you a nice 3 bedroom 2.5 bath 2 car garage in a good neighborhood. I used to own a few of these as rentals. Newport News has the shipyard that builds the aircraft carriers and submarines.

Sounds like you cousin worked at the Daily Press. The DP was a great paper until recently, with excellent local, state and national coverage and excellent guides on local interests. It was not the interwebs that took this paper down, it was the new management that came in, laid off the local reporters, and used WP and AP for national news. The paper was always a bit left leaning, but it became an absolute left wing shill that managed to find a way to dis Trump in every article. I cancelled my decades long subscription, and know many others who cancelled as well. I miss that paper (what it used to be), but like some Patnetter said, "if I want to pay for lies, I will go to a strip club."

Mason's ass needs to be sued.

I consider this Popeye's policy a public service. A white person would be insane to consume anything prepared in that place (the "extra" ingredients are countless). The policy just protects unaware whites.

Once again, it's whitey. And, this time with delivery apps.

Not sure what the equivalent of /etc/hosts is on Windoze.

Amen.

The article says it's OK as long as they spit in everyone's food.

Another thing that is racist:

Suggesting that the Wuhan Virus came from the virology lab in Wuhan which was doing research on exactly that kind of virus.

https://www.newsweek.com/american-journalists-shielded-china-erased-wuhan-lab-leak-theory-opinion-1595400

It appears that for the past year, our media seemed to lock arms in shielding the Chinese government from the scrutiny it deserved for failing to control COVID-19. Whether or not the lab leak hypothesis bears out, it is clear that our nation's journalists did not approach this question with an open mind.

In a Tweet that she later deleted, Apoorva Mandavilli, a New York Times science reporter who has been on the coronavirus beat, offered a window into the mindset of much of the media: "Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not yet here," she said.

Heat is now racist:

It's basic physics: dark surfaces absorb more IR radiation.

Which makes physics racist too, I guess.

Stamps
Geez. I love this one.



Spain's postal service has been accused of racism after issuing a set of unequally priced skin-coloured stamps.

State-owned Correos Espana introduced the set of four stamps on the anniversary of George Floyd's death, saying the "Equality Stamps" would "send a message against racial inequality".

The stamps are priced differently, with the lightest colour costing €1.60 (£1.38) and the darkest €0.70 (60p).

Critics said the initiative was racist as it suggests that darker colours are of less value.

Antumi Toasije, a historian who leads the Spanish government's Council for the Elimination of Racial or Ethnic Discrimination, called for the stamps to be scrapped.

2nd Amendment:

Interestingly, some argue that gun control is RACIST!!! and in this case I tend to agree with them:

Gun control dates back to laws before and after the Civil War that prohibited or restricted African Americans from owning firearms, a group of black leaders said Friday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

“History is rife with examples. There’s a direct correlation between gun control and black people control,” Stacy Swimp, president and CFO of the Frederick Douglass Society, said at the event.

Swimp compared the call for universal background checks for gun purchase to the time when blacks were required to register with the government.

“The first gun laws were put into place to register black folks, to make sure that they would know who we were – that we could not defend ourselves,” Swimp said.

“I think if you look right after the Emancipation Proclamation--what was going on down in the southern states, it’s very clear that the Dixiecrats wanted to disarm black people to keep us from defending ourselves against the Klansman, who were murdering white and black Republicans to control the ballot box,” Swimp said. “So I think history is rife with examples. There’s a direct correlation between gun control and black people control.”

https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/frederick-douglass-society-president-direct-correlation-between-gun-control-and-black

Anyone calling for gun control is a RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a chaser, quote by Frederick Douglas:

Douglass's address was entitled "In What New Skin Will the Old Snake Come Forth?"

"...while the Legislatures of the South can take from him (the black man) the right to keep and bear arms, as they can ... the work of the Abolitionists is not finished."

Beer Brewing

Sake is clearly racist as well, being brewed almost entirely by ethnic Japanese.

Yoga is racist, too.

Apple Pie.

"As Woke Culture Gains Momentum, Apple Pie Has Now Apparently Been Branded 'Racist' Too."

"The Guardian piece by Raj Patel linking American sugar-crusted apple pie to the “vast and ongoing genocide of Indigenous people” is causing both fury and surprise among readers, who are questioning whether the popular dessert is next in line to be cancelled as “racist”."



https://sputniknews.com/us/202106091083108740-as-woke-culture-gains-momentum-apple-pie-has-now-apparently-been-branded-racist-too/

Fuck it. I’m a racist SOB.

Now get in the kitchen and bake me apple pie!

Mmmm, apple pie.

Sleep.

Yikes! This "racist" stuff just will never end.

Like the late, great George Carlin said, "When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front row seat".

"You Won't Believe The Newest Form Of Racism"

https://freedomupdates.com/the-latest/you-wont-believe-the-newest-form-of-racism/

"a new form of racism has been found in systematic racism in sleep. The argument is black people have inherited sleep deprivation from their enslaved ancestors. Who comes up with this nonsense?

"Teen Vogue writes of Fannie Sosa and Navild Acosta, who created Black Power Naps, that they “were tired, but it wasn’t just any old fatigue. Yes, they experienced a lack of sleep, but they were specifically experiencing a generational fatigue familiar to Black people and people of color.”

Teen Vogue says Black Power Naps is “also a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that Black people and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to pushback against the false stereotype that Black people are lazy, and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest.”"

I hear Blacks also need comlpimentary grape drank and watermelon from their employers, too.

LOL.
