    It was that NJ recommended no non essential travel from out of state, ENY was fine with us going.

            All standards are inherently racist because they are grounded in norms about what is "good" and "bad" that whites have imposed over the hundreds of years in which they have been in charge. We need to eradicate all grades, standards, and evaluations - at school, at jobs, and in the athletic arena. Then we will achieve true equality.

              god damn. then we would have to execute all people like Michael Jordan, Elan Musk, Derek Jeter and Bill Gates.

              Kinda hard to have equality and standards when there are truly great and way above average people walking the earth.

                You are the beneficiary of standards that whites have imposed, so you think those standards are good. But I've got news for you. The college paper that whites think should get a C, might merit an A if evaluated by a person of color. An analysis that a white thinks is "brilliant" may completely miss the point if evaluated by a person of color. Whites may value showing up on time or working 60 hours a week and call those "virtues." But people of color may think those are artificial constraints designed to keep others down. Your support of white standards just shows that you are a white supremacist. Thankfully, the country is moving away from standards and towards equality.

                  interesting view. but don't dodge the question, answer me this. what will you do with great people like Michael Jordan, Elan Musk, Derek Jeter and Bill Gates?

                  You don't like Elan or Bill? lets replace them with perhaps Duane "The Rock" Johnson, Morgan Freeman and/or James Earl Jones.

                  What will you do with above average people?

                    Your idea that these are "above average" people is a delusion. You think they are "above average" based on your standards, but your standards are based on white values and therefore inherently racist. Musk and Gates are not "above average" as measured by the standards of at least many people of color. Equity requires that your racist notion of "standards" be abolished.

                      perhaps as men they are equal (we all have 10 fingers, 10 toes)....but there work ethic, creativity, enthusiasm and talent is undeniably way above average than say you or me.

                      Can you rap like Ice Cube or Eminem?
                      Can you dunk like MJ?
                      Are you funny like Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield?
                      Are you able to invent something great that can change the life of human beings for an eternity? (like inventing the camera, the automobile, Printing Press, The internet and your Iphone)?

                      We are not all equal. you get paid according to your worth and what you contribute. It has been this way since the beginning of time. even in Africa 1000s of years ago.

                      The more talented/powerful people put the others to work.

                        "Work ethic" is an artificial white construct that is grounded in the Puritan tradition. Many people of color value other things, like happiness and time to reflect about the world. There is no reason that whites should be allowed to force me or other persons of color to buy into their notions about a "work ethic" in order for me to participate in benefits of society that should be available to all. It is inherently racist.

                          Interesting, what benefits are you talking about? like having a big screen tv, an i phone, the internet? things things have value and cost money.

                          How would you have those things if others did not have the knowledge to create these? (what else is yet to come?)

                          No one is forcing you to do anything you don't want to do.

                          By your own definition, with every cd you buy, with movie you buy or go to see in a theater, with every bottle of coca cola and/or colt 45 you buy you are supporting racism and the very same system that allow the rich to get richer, the middle class to pay for it all, and allowing the poor to stay exactly where they are at the bottom just to scare the sh-t out of the middle class.

                            I agree with this. Evidenced by the great 20th century African American artist, Ice Cube, who's musical composition "It Was a Good Day" extolled the beauty of living within the moment and reflecting upon the bounties given to an individual by God or the Universe.

                            The message of that song stands in stark contract to the Anglo & Germanic ideas of an order and rules based society, which has become deeply ingrained in what we call "first world" society.

                              Read this is a fiction book recently. Seems to be just whats happening in America now.

                              “In fact, one of the most apropos political observations I have ever read is that a democracy can exist only until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From the moment that realization takes hold, history shows that the majority of the people will always vote for the candidate promising the most goodies from the public treasury.
                              “History also shows us that once a democracy goes down this road, things never end well. Each and every single time, the democracy collapses. It always happens. It collapses over loose fiscal policy, and democracy is always followed by dictatorship. And guess what the dictator promises?”
                              “Utopia?” Ralston replied.
                              Salomon shook his head. “No. When democracy collapses, fear, violence, and uncertainty fill the void. In essence, it’s chaos, and that’s what the dictator preys upon. The people are so terrified that they will agree to trade anything, even the most precious possession they have—their liberty—in exchange for a return to order. But when order is restored, freedom is never seen by those citizens again.”

                                Yep all for the price tag of $18 +/- for the cd for which Ice Cube received a few hundred million for. hes got a nice big house in a nice community. Definitely well deserved for his talent. None of us could have done the same and god bless him.

                                He most definitely earned everything he got.
