    Now, I think the outrage is a bit disproportionate to what was likely a stupid mistake by an ignorant, but still..

      Well, it's not as I said - this was deliberate, and done by an all-black board.

      "Rueben Hays, the CEO of Juneteenth GVL Inc., remarked that the intention of the banner was to promote unity for the event and that there were nine other designs which included Black, Asian and Hispanic residents. The idea, he also said, came from his all-Black board with no pressure from the city to diversify the promotion."

          The outrage is just manufactured and propagandized by the media. I'm not sure the extent to which it exists on the ground.

          I like these conversations I find on youtube, this one featuring Glenn Loury doing an appearance on a b-level podcast. Four black people, all basically socially conservative and entirely against the race narrative, blowing off steam. Chicken soup for the soul of those of us who know the race narrative to be insidious abuse of black people, created and propagated by progressive whites, mostly of the female variety. The black woman barely stops herself from using the N word to describe the sorts of blacks who she considers the problem. The black community doesn't always use that word as a term of endearment or solidarity.
