Race should have nothing to do with naming schools or any other award recognition. True social justice should be as blind as legal justice. If you want actual equality, real parity, then there can be no double standards, not in 2023. We're seeing what happens when those are applied all over Wokedom.

If Thomas has violated ethical whatevers, he takes the fall for it — he certainly needs to be investigated, just as Epstein did, and countless other Whites, Asians, Latinos. Anita Hill had a right to be heard, but if Andrew Cuomo goes down for the same thing, so should have Thomas. I don't approve of America's extreme puritanism — but I don't take the blame for my Puritan ancestors any more than I do a Southerner's slave-owning ancestors — but that's the way things are here. If you want double standards, that's okay, but there can never be true equality as well — equality is about balance, across the board.

Also, anecdotal fallacies — "I know him; he's a great man; he's not like that" — are no argument, I'm sorry. I was raised in an establishment Republican household. There's plenty that people on the outside don't see.
