    To everyone telling me how courageous I am for appearing in the doc, it didn't feel risky at all. I believe these women and don't give a fuck about protecting a serial child rapist. Easy decision.

    This is a really excellent deep dive into how political reporters are ButHerEmailing Elizabeth Warren over her DNA test.

    This would make it virtually impossible for government agencies to enforce civil rights laws, as almost no discrimination these days is explicit. Disparate impact is how we got the record settlements against banks for discriminating against black and Latino buyers.

    2) It spoke volumes about how successful white Northerners have been in promulgating the lie of their racial egalitarianism and that legal, intentional and systemic racism and racial segregation was a backwards Southern corruption and not the organizing principal of the U.S.

    1) It takes a lot of nerve to suggest you, with no background in the area, have some inside knowledge on a subject someone has written about for 15 years and researched an entire proposal for.

    Funny story. I sold my book & applied for a fellowship to help write it and one of the reviewers, who had no background in education or racial injustice, questioned my assertion that codified and de jure school seg was a signature feature of the N and S. Called it an overreach.

    Working on chapt abt school segregation in the North pre-Brown. Does this sound familiar? A lawyer noted, New Jersey engaged in the "theoretical admission of colored children to white schools by terms of legislation & simultaneously actual exclusion by method of administration."
