It's obvious that today, culturally, managers are both more empowered and more expected to regulate the non work-related conduct of employees than ever before. What do you feel is at stake on this question that leads you to deny it so stridently?

1) Buzzfeed doesn't have to approve of a boss firing someone for them to have the power to do it, and for this to be incredibly common For most of history it's been taboo to fire an employee for not sleeping with you; in the 70s it was made explicitly illegal; still very common

This discourse pisses me off so much because getting fired because people don't like you is a universal, constant, inescapable feature of having a job of any kind under capitalism But NOW it's suddenly a PROBLEM because it's "woke"

Were anti-racists in the 60s (MLK, SNCC, BPP) engaging corporations similar to today's blue wave 'anti-racists'? When MLK turned to economics and liberal racism, should he instead have asked how employment contract language could be a post-Jim-Crow weapon?

it's super easy not to run your racist mouth. she waited and then quit the hard way, so she could ride the "poor little victimised white supremacist" outrage wave they keep pretending is oppression.

I don't have any reason to defend her. But i would disagree that her not being in Star Wars going forward does anything at all for poor POC who are the major victims of systemic racism. Wouldn't want anyone to think that cheering it is doing anything particularly anti racist.

I don't think Nichelle Nichols being on Star Trek fixed racism in America - it didn't even fix racism on Star Trek - but MLK thought it was important enough to call her on the phone telling her not to quit

Whoopi Goldberg says Uhura is why she thought she could ever be an actor, and the first black female astronaut says her path to glory began with Nichols's role as Lt. Uhura.
