Separate But Equal: The New Norm
First paragraph: "Columbia University is planning to hold six additional graduation ceremonies for students according to their race and other aspects of how they identify."
Sounds like something from The Onion, but sadly, it isn't.

Follow the money. As in keep a close eye on the members of the "Black Congressional Caucus" and what minority small companies they get chummy with. Buy long when a connection develops and sell short as soon as the con-gress critter bails or the enterprise becomes yesterday's news. The same applies to small green companies.
I've spent a lot of my investment time looking for and researching good companies, but now in the winter of my lifetime I realize all I really had to do was closely follow the politicians and speculate the hell out them. Alas, I don't do the market anymore so I don't care anymore, but for a younger person this strategy is probably worth pursuing.
I saw him twice in concert in Las Vegas.
He always hit the nail on the head.
PS - I will also note that these people are not "African" Americans. Africa is a continent - not a nation. "African-American" is a contradiction as it attempts to pair two different continents. It is also an oxymoron as less than 1% of these people have ever been to Africa, let alone hold dual-nationality with any of the various nations of Africa. We don't call people "Chinese Americans" or "Japanese Americans" or "Canadian Americans" or anything else. If you are American, it means you are a citizen of the United States of America no matter what your racial heritage or ancestry. Let's put away the divisive terms that encourage people to self-segregate. Or encourage them to simply leave and see how great it is somewhere else.
But why? We don't use that nomenclature for any other ethnic group. The entire point of America was that you LEAVE the culture and heritage behind and come to America. You adopt America's heritage. You adopt America's culture. And in turn you become American - and just American.
"And yes, I do call people "Chinese-Americans"
Why? (Honestly asking.) Aren't you merely making an assumption based on their physical characteristics?
The leftist solution to racism? Racism harder.
Right on point. Back during the civil rights movement’s in the 60’s ,the main focus was on prejudice. Judging a group of people on the actions of a few...sound familiar you deplorable white supremacist. The left loves to invoke the great Dr MLK, but they never talk about
“Do not judging people by the color of their skin but on the content of their character.” So in effect King knew it was ok to judge someone just to have a basis for that judgement. That would make
Michael Brown and George Floyd and others like them punk criminals and pariahs of society.
But, THEY do it, and they call it being "woke".
Well, you just can't fix "stupid".
....I should be a nuclear engineer if I want that outcome. Educating myself to be such is irrelevant and discriminatory....
