    Good for you. I mean that sincerely. I've personally had my color be an issue at 2 different jobs. I left those jobs. The reason that I mention ratios is that I think that people (…

    I don't have to imagine. I've been the first or only Black person in more than one company. I'm already the change I want. I'm just waiting for the rest of y'all (not necessarily y…

    Not sure why there's such a sympathetic write up in this article. People who sell guns and drugs get ripped off, and worse, all the time. I get the Bitcoin angle, but still...

    You cant say that it is an empirically proven fact, anc then concede that it is a possibly flawed measurement. I'm all too familiar with racists, and you sir/mam look familiar. htt…
