sias Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Whats the score with Coca Cola. Is there a news headline I missed?Yes, apparently they want the white workers (read racists) in their company to be less white.

Edit: While I do think most of us whites are a little unaware of our "we ruled the world for for centuries" inherent attitude equating "white" directly to arrogance, ignorance, oppression etc is ridiculous.

Shebeen Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Cool. Can you imagine the relief in the room when the main 'shute opened?I love that stuff. All those dudes (and a few dudettes) are awesome nerds to the maxx.and there is didly squat they can do about what's going on as the craft is automated and there's a huge delay in signal so everything has already happened before they even see it. , they might as well be watching it on the imax instead of tweaking their machines. but none of that matters. NERDS getting airtime and victories like this is so rad. ps. total nerd. jimmycool, Bonus, Warthog and 2 others 5
Eldron Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Apparently all us old white guys are! Sadly I think that is true - white guys in the age group 50-70 have not served us very well as role models. Between kiddie fiddling priests, gropey rapey hollywood stars, underage hooker providers, the old national party, locker room heros, scientists and authors blatantly stealing female work etc etc etc we don't have a lot to be proud of on the social front. Edit: This is not the thread for this kinda talk so here is a meme as an apology. Edited February 25, 2021 by Eldron fanievb 1

Neither does focusing exclusively on the negative - I'm sure you could find a positive for every negative you posted, but you chose not to. Anyway, looks like tandem is not for me then... BarryH 1

That's why I added the "socially" - some amazing achievements in many other fields of course. It is, however, impossible to find a positive to match centuries of apartheid, colonies, plundering, slave trade etc.
