I think the idea is if enough of us white folk self-flagellate with Robin D’Angelo’s book it’ll fix the schools in Philly.
Most white folk don't even know who D'Angelo is. Most black folk either.

Are you trying to tell me that the schools in Philly won’t be fixed this year?

Bud, you don't count.
He'd better count.
Why should he? Jon is white, upper middle class to lower upper class, socially liberal, but financially centrist and he will sometimes surprise you with a conservative opinion on an issue. He's not the poster boy for "woke" at all.
In the world of"Woke", he doesn't count.

If you want to go belly up before the woke barrage, feel free. I say Jon had better count because he has a functioning brain, and the more dysfunctional things get, the more vital he and others like him will become. Forget his politics, his race, his class and everything else. None of that matters in this business. What we will need is his vision.

I've been told jon functions well, when he builds up pressure.

Aqua’s sister can’t keep her mouth shut.
But then we ALL knew that.

Note the word riots in my post. They may have started out as protests, but they devolved into riots very quickly.
George previously commented that he doesn't care how many of the protesters are demonstrating peacefully, because to him the rioting negates that.
That's a fair position. Saying though that all of the peaceful protesters just disappeared and none of that exists anymore is completely untrue. If you believe that then you're only listening to your preferred echo chamber.

Don't need an echo chamber, just a set of Mark I eyeballs...You're bending over backwards so far to be fair, you're letting the hogs stampede through the lot gate.

No, I'm more or less siding with George at present. The peaceful protesters are still out there, and I think there are legitimate gripes, but the peaceful don't seem to be doing much to speak out against the woke racists and the rioters, which needs to happen.
Otherwise, yeah. Being objective takes work. Extracting an accurate understanding from outrage porn confirmation bias on both sides takes work. That's what's required.
