I'm not afraid of delusional and spoiled Coleman Hughes. I didn't have the opportunity of being born with a silver spoon in my mouth and a mixed protective upper-class neighborhood.
If you knew anything about him you would know that he actually addresses the very petty and weird complaint you are making. Please listen to and read more from him. You may end up very surprised and satisfied.
I'm 72 years old---three times his age. He's going to tell me what? Becky is here at my second home on the beach. She is satisfying me. And, her tan is looking better. I seriously believe that Coleman is gay. Lol!!!!
I was smart enough to retire successfully at the age of 55 and travel the world. I worked in a very ruthless and Machiavellian environment before retiring.
Colorblindness belongs in the “ideas” category, not “contraversal ideas” category. I am connecting the dots backwards from Coleman Hughes and I reach the Google HR scandal a few years back, where a liberal employee’s normal sentences were allegedly “sexist”, but actually were not. My personal goal is to make 2024 “The Year of HR” in terms of reckoning and reform. Coleman Hughes - keep doing what you are doing. You may become president some day.
This is so strange. It was a great talk. I still find myself uncomfortable with discussions of ‘colorblindness’, I worry that it risks furthering subtle forms of racism, but Coleman’s TED talk is the best thing I’ve heard on the subject and offers me significant reassurance that it’s okay to be ‘colorblind’. Thanks so much for sharing this clip. It motivated me to become a subscriber.
Normally, one might put pressure on an institution that has behaved unfairly - think corporate boycotts, etc. Interestingly, however, TED TALKS is owned by the TED Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable entity, which makes it tougher to target unfair behavior because they have no public product or service, and are not subject to the level of scrutiny to which American for-profit businesses are. The Clintons and others figured this out a long time ago. However, their officers, directors and donors are all disclosed in their most recent 990, available here: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/821934592/202242949349100909/full . Perhaps Glenn, John and Coleman, as well as some of my fellow readers, know some of these people (mostly in the NYC area, it seems) and can ask them how they feel about this incident.
Everything Ted produces must fit the narrow NPC talking points or support a limit world view - or it’s not on the stage. I don’t expect ANYTHING objective from Ted, ever.
I don't expect anything objective from you, especially with a gross meritorious manumission slant. Colorblindness is a white reactionary response to avoid dealing with race problems.
I listened to Coleman's podcast about the TEDtalk...What TED talk did was bizarre! I suppose TED talk has a right to do what it wants, but clearly it is not interested in either presenting unusual unpopular opinions about important things, nor in allowing such ideas to be presented in a free manner. I am glad that Coleman stuck to his guns, but man...what a PIA for him!
White men castrating black men during Jim Crow for just looking at or whistling at a white woman was very weird. I was living when two white guys entered
Emmett Till's uncle's home and kidnapped him while he was visiting from Chicago. A white woman flagrantly lied, and this 14-year-old black boy was savagely murdered by two low-IQ white males. They were found not guilty by an all-white red-neck jury despite the overwhelming evidence. They later admitted to the murder to a major magazine which paid them. The bitch who lied was never held accountable. She died this past year. His relatives have held high offices in Mississippi.

Do you think you will be 33% smarter when you're 96?
As a percentage of world inhabitants, the white population will plummet to a single digit (9.76%) by 2060 from a high-water mark of 27.98% in 1950.

I'll most likely be in the abyss, worry free🤡🤡🤡

It appears you're smoking some good crack bro. Is Becky sharing it with you, and then back on code? 🦝🦝🦝

Htf would a concept like 'colorblindness' further 'subtle racism?
Seriously? Isn’t that what this is all about? Isn’t that what the POC on the TED staff are upset about? If this isn’t the issue then what is?
Apologies...I think I misconstrued your comment while skimming thru quickly. Not wise. I would surmise we are largely on the same page here.
Thanks, I appreciate that. I understand.
Jesse Singal has just sent out an article regarding Adam Grant, the social scientist who questioned the issue of race blindness as used by C. Hughes.

We all know why.

What I wonder (see my post nearby) is whether a non-profit can effectively discriminate thusly.
