"The County Council of Montgomery County, Maryland is seeking a highly skilled leader of people, organizations, and systems to serve as its next Executive Director. Top candidates must be exceptional communicators and relationship builders, grounded in deep emotional intelligence. They will bring demonstrated experience leading talented and diverse teams, managing large and complex budgets, and advancing racial equity and social justice. They will have a proven ability to lead by example with humility, transparency, and the highest ethical standards. Experience in Montgomery County or county government is not required, however an eagerness and capacity to learn quickly is necessary to thrive in our dynamic work environment."

If you object to this, that says a lot about you.

"Social justice is justice in relation to a fair balance in the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society where individuals' rights are recognized and protected." So Marxism. Got it.

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

-Karl Marx

Did you really just quote Jesus (Matthew 25:40) and attribute it to Karl Marx? Were you being ironic? Does the right wing know that Jesus was an early communist thinker?

He probably was. He could create whatever he wanted out of thin air or at least convert one element into another. If I had that kind of magic I wouldn't care what kind of society I lived in.

Racial equity requires racial discrimination. If you support this, that says a lot about you.

The way the county is doing racial equity is pretty ridiculous. There are programs out there that will help people of color, but because they benefit white people more, they are classified as having a negative impact on racial equity.

Here's the thing that no one is allowed to say. Until popular black culture starts adhering to traditional western enlightenment values, black people (as a whole) will not advance. Unfortunately, critical race theorists like Ibram Kendi are determined to doom black people to their current circumstances with their insane but fashionable takes like "trying to change black people so they value whiteness is racism." On its face that might make sense until one realizes that "whiteness' is simply western enlightenment values.

Exactly. The Enlightenment is itself racist. That's why we need to decenter Enlightenment values and return to the time before that. You know, the Dark Ages.

I'm just quoting the NMAAHC.

I hope this doesn't make me sound too white but that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen... and the contempt dripping from it is nearly palpable.

Melanin is not a moral virtue. It's genetics. Training a bunch of people to dislike another bunch of people isnt better when you do it because your dad was a wealthy Nigerian.

After some debate, the NMAACH eventually agreed with you and took it down. But it shows the sentiment in progressive circles. It also shows exactly which values critical race theorists would go after if they were to gain power. Imagine a society run without the values on this chart.

jesus that's crazy.

i think many formerly prestigious and/or useful positions in society (like this one or, say...president of harvard) will pretty soon be understood to be welfare programs for less talented people that happen to be "of color."

Talented people will just find new areas to be productive. Unfortunately, we'll be ruled by even dumber beurocrats that we historically have been.

Oh, honey.

All people. But the law should be focused on equality before the law and equality of opportunity, but not equality of outcomes. Or on “equity” — whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Equity is the opposite of equality.
