There's gotta be a reason that James Baldwin interview keeps popping up on my feed.

Yes! It’s clear that the effort is to terrorize institutions into purging all of the Black people there, to force us back to the limited options we had before 1954.

I want them named and shamed

I agree, but how is this a puff piece/thread?

Making a reference to the general trend not this particular post/thread

I was actually piqued by your mention and looked into the "Free Enterprise Project" and could not find a single investigative journalism piece much less a media profile about it other than WSJ. Considering their mission, this was disheartening to say the least.

As far as I can tell its entire purpose it to "de-wokify" corporate governance and install conservatives on boards

Why are they all such losers

It is amazing the resegregationists targeting schools and workplaces aren’t ever referred to as an extreme ideological faction imposing their worldview onto others, guess that’s reserved for Black people asserting their humanity.

We know their names Robby Starbuck is one, Edward Blum is another, their work is just typically framed as a positive correction to those awful “woke” people.

I’m listening to this and see ur post. Both have similar thesis. Only his re: colonial German’s in Namibia early 1900s w/1st PLANNED genocide goal to segregate so the master race will have slave labor (apartheid). Later Hitler did to Slavs. Similar now. Shudder.

From auto generated transcript. FYI - eerily similar to prep work being done now and resolute are devastating. Reparations? None. Accept blame? ONLY if no one wants reparations.

It'd be great if we could send people after that cottage industry and send it's players and financial backers into the abyss where they belong.

Naming their names would be a start.

Naming, shaming, and loudly ridiculing these people and the publications that platform them is the only way forward, not hoping they go away without lifting a finger.
