JMO - but I think your guess is wrong.

Here's a recent article about adopting transracially. (White parents adopting a black child.) It's 10 things you should know.

10 Things You Should Know Before Adopting Transracially

The first one: You must be comfortable talking about white supremacy.

The third one: Your child won't have the luxury of avoiding conversations of race, privilege and supremacy.

The ninth one: "Have you ever posted #BlackLivesMatter on your page? Do you have a sign in your yard? If not, why? If so, you may need to unfriend folks from your friends list, or educate them about why this matters to you. Those who feel defensive about these sentiments likely aren’t folks who your kiddos will feel safe around.”

My read, and maybe I'm wrong, is that "white supremacy" is part a reeducation campaign.

White supremacy is not being used to describe bad racists.

It's being used to describe America.

 

Indy is a lifer market and one where sports will always have a place. NFL/NBA, Indy, IU and even Butler and high school basketball mean the need for content is always there.

A lot of those guys are older than dirt and have been in the market forever.

Sage is excellent at what she does. Not surprised she has a lot of prominent roles. Paid her dues. Her job now is more traffic cop on the studio shows.

 

I believe - and I may be wrong - that white supremacy is morphing into a term that would be on the same level with, say, the word democracy.

In other words: "America is defined by its white supremacy."

I think one could be, according to some, an unwitting white supremacist. Or, more to the point, that whether one is or isn't a white supremacist isn't up to the white person's opinion, but a black person judging a white person's level of privilege awareness independent of what the white person thinks of it.

It's a state of being instead of a state of thinking or doing, with white people so unaware to the totality of their racist thinking, they don't even know they are.

 

In other words, all white people are supremacists.

 

Callabro is so fucking bad as the 500 P.A. guy every year I want to stab my eardrums. His track commentary is literally the most irritating thing I hear all year, and my 4-year-old watches "Wonder Pets."

I hope you aren't him.

If you are, though: You suck.

 

The last several pages have been rightly focused on a sports TV host calling the president a white supremacist, a term many people attribute to Nazis.

And, again, I think Jemele Hill's definition of white supremacy is part of an emerging definition among thinkers and writers - mostly black - that defines supremacy in much broader terms. I personally don't agree with this broader definition - actually, I think it's a little inappropriate - but I don't think she called Trump a Nazi.

 

Not sure where to put this. Might as well be here:

 

In a way, it's not wrong.

 

Everyone has tip-toed around this woman since she was at the Orlando Sentinel and didn't get fired for having a personal blog (that was public) that criticized men who didn't give good oral sex. If she was overly talented, I could understand.
