"When scientists unveiled the first draft of the Human Genome Project 25 years ago, it seemed to deliver the final word on some antiquated myths about #race. It provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct."

Here's a gift link about the Harvard Reparations Project. Unsurprisingly commentors are against reparations and their arguments are weak. "Why should we be accountable for things done centuries ago?" But it's not centuries ago. Stop prejudice. Stop redlining. Stop lynching. Stop all the things you do to hold black and brown people down. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/25/metro/harvard-identifies-descendants-slavery-massachusetts/?s_campaign=8315:varf

Why would Target think this was a good idea in the first place?
#Target "apologized on Monday and said it had pulled a Halloween costume from sale depicting a circus clown that critics said evoked Blackface and minstrel shows.
"The product, sold as the "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown Halloween Costume," prompted a backlash on social media, with some consumers saying it resembled a #racist caricature."

Jews were legally considered a separate race in the US through WW2. The 1987 S.C. decision in Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb is based on it.
All of my people's migration documents list their race as Hebrew. This isn't moving forward. I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's just not new.
"The state of #California is poised to become the first in the nation to recognize being #Jewish as an #ethnic and #racial, not just a #religious, identity.
On Aug. 13, a key committee of its state #Senate passed a bill that would add “Jewish” to its long list of recognized identities. This is an important step forward in a longstanding debate about whether that label denotes just a religion or is an #ethnicity or #race. As The #NewYorkTimes observes, it is “a first step toward acknowledging and demystifying the multifaceted nature of Jewish identity.”
But it comes at a dangerous moment for #American #Jews, a moment of rising #antisemitism and anti-Jewish #hatecrimes."

Oh, boy, they are welding manhole covers shut in Washington for the race.
Isn't it a bit extreme to spot weld the diapers to the Donald even for a day?
