Any time someone complains of hiring discrimination from now on, they should be forced to do a full shift in whatever industry they are complaining about.

I'm not going to be humble. I am so glad that everybody on Black Panther Blood Hunt was FIRE AF (including me), because I do think every bigot and their mother was waiting for it to suck given how mouthy I have been (AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE) about the lack of opportunities for black writers.
Us not being good would have given racists confirmation. Thrilled that they were robbed of it. I've always said that I just want to see black writers. It wasn't even about me. I always used the qualifier that "even if I suck, someone else black doesn't."
Sometimes you really have to let a loudmouth bigot fail. Openly and spectacularly. Because they truly believe that their overrepresentation is due to superiority rather than the cultural residue of segregation.
Sometimes you have to sit back and say, "Y'all got it." I mean--I don't recommend this when democracy is at stake, but I'm fine with some thoroughly mid person embarrassing themselves for an afternoon at Starbucks or an application review at Harvard.
AND there's also the possibility of finding a hidden gem that you hadn't considered before! Even when you lose, you win. Because the organization is improved with every qualified (or overqualified) applicant.

Guess what? I guess I don't suck after all!
