Engaging in something faces unlimited downside when you don't know what you're doing is beyond reckless. I don't know how you could prevent stupid people from taking stupid actions though.

you can't..that said i read into it and seemed like there was a 'glitch'in robinhood that allowed people to get unlimited leverage. you had to deliberately go out of your way to do this. and it looks like the display that the guy saw only showed one part of the transaction settled. that said robinhood should be more like traditional brokers and you can't just lever yourself out the wazoo with zero collateral

This is a long, powerful, and sobering read.

Racism is not mine, it is yours, and what you do is not called “help” when it is your mess we are cleaning.

yeah sounds like the author wants segregation, which we fought to outlaw decades ago (Biden’s ally and HRC’s mentor Robert Byrd (D) did not though, he filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was in the kkk)




this apply to people like me as well? im of a diverse family with first gen immigrants and right now after another day out in the sun my complexion is gonna the same as the authors

but i guess since im not the “correct” skin pigmentation then im just a white ally aka a racist, per the author

That's not what she's saying. She's saying that it's incumbent upon you (and me, and other whites) to clean up our own side of the street (re: racism/racist thoughts, actions, tendencies), and to not expect to be handheld through the process by blacks, or expect an 'attaboy' from them for doing so.

so i and millions of people like me are “at fault and creators of racist behavior, and “have racism flowing in my diverse family” because of my skin color. and so do millions of other families like mine. thats quite a damning assessment of millions of different people who the author has never met or cultures the author may have never experienced

If you’re not being racist, no one is going to come looking for you. Blacks have neither the time for, nor the interest in, dragging people minding their business out of their own lane and into ours. Our plates are full with actual racists — nobody here is manufacturing anything special for you, ok?

Quote

Are we crowd sourcing accountability for Black hate, insisting you share in your brother’s scorn? Do we suggest you’re interchangeable, answerable for the crimes of any bad actor, and name you the ambassador for all?
Don’t be ridiculous — that’s not our team, that’s yours. Stop projecting.
We are not stupid, or even spiteful. Nor do we act from that weird, altruist Stephen King-thing (I love you Stephen!) of the selfless Black folk with the shining. And, as my fire and brimstone shero said just days ago, be content it is not revenge we seek. It is a simple matter of self-preservation: making you Bubba’s crime-proxy leaves his threat free to roam the streets. Nothing about that is of any value to me.
So no, you are not vicariously liable for the acts of strangers, your clan, or your kin. Deal with them as I assume we all do: shepherd from risk those who matter to you. Don’t you worry, we’ll handle Bubba.
