Seen enough of Bree’s posts that I wanted context for what drives somebody to be one of the dumbest people alive.

She made a short film in 2010. Then transitions to activism, because of her claim

Speaking as part of a panel at Spelman College in 2014, she said: "The space that exists for many of us, as a young black girl, is so extremely limited so that you really can't go very far without being an activist, without being in defiance of something."

In 2015 she finally got noticed for taking down a confederate flag. Since then, nothing she’s done has caught on. She being loud and stupid for attention to regain that high. She has 460,000 followers and rarely the engagement to match. Her pinned tweet (from 2018) sums it up.

Whenever I die, please don't allow my image to be co-opted by the power establishment. Don't let my name & likeness be used to argue for peace in the absence of justice. I believe uncompromisingly in the liberation of the black, poor and oppressed from systems of white supremacy

Activism as vanity. Desperate to be somebody history won’t forget.

What the fuck? “Grandfathered” as a term predates the voting usage.

What the fuck? “Grandfathered” as a term predates the voting usage.

Companies prioritizing inclusiveness can encourage a move away from problematic terms in materials and/or learning sessions – recognizing that calling out the need for change isn’t about shaming but about removing barriers to productivity and success. Inclusive replacements companies may use instead “grandfathered” include “exempted,” “excused,” “preapproved,” “preauthorized,” or “legacied.”

of these, only "legacied" perhaps begins to approach a similar definition

I get shit in the mail that says I'm preapproved for a credit card, that doesn't mean that I owned that card previously and due to my long continuous usage I am afforded privileges based on old rules that new subscribers don't get

Oh no, the original usage of the term "may" have been racist, therefore I'm so fucking stupid that I can't divorce myself from that possible legacy 100+ years later and I immediately believe that ALL usage of this term is racist.

I am very smart.

May, being one of the spring months, was a time when (according to the US's southern slave owners) their slaves would start to become particularly lazy

when you say "it may happen," expressing doubt, you are subconsciously summoning up the spectre of the slave owners' doubt that they'll be able to get their slaves to do any work

normally I might recommend that you use the term "possibly" instead, but new research coming out of Harvard seems to indicate that the term has connections to the word "posse," meaning lynch mobs, so it is recommended to avoid terms that indicate doubt altogether until a suitable alternative can be found

[HaughtyFrank]

These people make their money by "solving" issues but unlike most jobs where problems arise naturally they have to go out and look for new ones or else their job is pointless.

I figured grandfathered was because at a certain point you let old people just do whatever they fuck they want.

Nice to know it was specifically about priveledge.

That doesn't make any sense? Hillary would have been a box-office disaster considering how much was spent on production.

Everyone is a working class socialist until their grift hits hard. Then things get interesting...
