Unsafe Space Q&A
I was born with pale olive skin that turns golden brown in the Summer. What color am I?
My grandfather came to America from Italy in 1931. Am I responsible for the atrocities of slavery that happened in this part of the world in 1776? Or 1619? Or 1050? Or 5000 BC?
All perspectives are equally valuable, except the perspective that does not value all perspectives as being equally valuable. Does that make sense to you?
It is claimed to be impossible to understand the perspective of a black American without being a black American and also that every white American has hidden racial biases. The naked claim of being clairvoyant aside — is it really possible to claim that any one group of people think the same way, especially when grouped by skin pigmentation? Can any one black American speak for all black Americans?
Nature has a systemic bias favoring the physically strong, able and intelligent creature. Nature is good. America has a systemic bias favoring the strong, able and intelligent citizen. America is bad.
What is the salient difference between a corporate diversity program and a biological eugenic program? Both seek to create a world of “better” people; eugenics uses genetic selection/manipulation while diversity programs use racial selection and linguistic manipulation.
Is it possible to have a room full of olive colored people discuss a topic and there be diversity of thought between them? And if so, what exactly is the need for a diversity program?

Do you know what Article 58 said in the former Soviet Union?
Does saying White Lives Matter make you uncomfortable? Why? Is it no less true than Olive Lives Matter? To whom do they matter exactly? In what way do any of us matter to each other? Afterall, I love and cherish my wife — not yours.
Oprah Winfrey’s net worth estimated at 2.6 Billion and she grew up in a poor and difficult household. Oprah good. Jeff Bezos net worth is estimated at 180 Billion and he grew up in a broken home raised by his immigrant stepfather. Jeff bad.
Our vocabulary controls the range of possible thoughts that we can have. Limit or control the words and you limit and control thoughts. Our thoughts control our actions. Orwell called the process newspeak; I call it Activist Media. What do you call it?
Why do we speak of health insurance when we speak of healthcare, as though it were impossible to have one without the other?
If the current administration started issuing universal basic income checks, would you be offended if they demanded that you do/say/believe something?
Should we decolonize every country — or is it only America that needs to be decolonized?
Why did President Biden in his first day of office overturn the 1776 commision and embrace the tenets of the 1619 project? Do you know what each contains?
The American experiment only works when paired with informed, intelligent citizens — otherwise it's just the mob run amuck.
