I feel so guilty

This morning on the radio I heard the president of the A.C.L.U. Deborah Archer, a law professor at New York University, saying how the entire highway system in the U.S. is raycest. The whole thing was planned to disrupt and if possible destroy black neighborhoods. Are there any statues of Dwight David we can remove?? I bet there is at least one in Kansas. Biden is aware and is going to set aside some of our money to make things right, somehow.
Oh by the way, United Airlines says that at least half of the new pilots they hire must be either women or people of color. I don't ever remember boarding a plane wondering about the sex or color of the people up front. I would be happy if they were just good pilots.

I think Deborah Archer is raycist because she is a law professor and we all know laws are raycist.
Yes.....here in Austin they are talking about reworking I-35. One of the main contentions for years has been that it was the dividing line between the affluent side of the city and those neighborhoods of poor disadvantaged souls.
Funny thing is...........now the East side is being "gentrified" and the poor lost souls are up in arms about being priced out by property taxes. The neveau riche are buying up all the properties with little 100 year old shotgun shacks on them, bulldozing them, and building new homes for the neckbeard crowd working high-tech jobs here.
Everything is raycist if you look deep enough.

Thanks for pointing out United's affirmative action plan for pilots.
I would think training the best candidates, regardless of race or sex would be a good thing when people's lives are in their hands. When one searches for the best pilots regardless of race or sex, one can reasonably expect to get the best pilots. When one excludes a group from 50% of the search, it is logical that United will no longer get the best pilots.
No thank you, United. I will choose an airline that strives for the best, not the diverse.
It is disgusting that we are having these types of conversations in America today. I have never doubted the qualifications of a female pilot or a non-white pilot in my life, and many is the time I have flown in aircraft with them. (Even landed on the deck of the Carl Vinson in a C-1 with a woman pilot).
Were I to fly United in a couple of years and notice a female or a non-white pilot, there would be no way I could help but wonder of this person was put ahead of someone better because of race or sex.
