If these Google asswipes really wanted to help the black community, then they would build another office in high density black neighborhoods (which they won't do cuz these neighborhoods have high crime rates lol).

I remember watching a rant from Eli the Computer Guy and in summary, building these software engineering offices will attract high-paying folks to come into these areas for the jobs, which in turn encourages them to spend money towards the community and education, which will then create a new generation of black people that don't have the mentality of "im a nigger, gimme gimme" that will create business in a positive feedback loop.

But Google won't do that because such an endeavor has financial risks. They much rather ask other fucking developers to spend their own hard-earned money to "a Equal Justice Initiative" that basically wants black people to not be responsible for their actions.

Man I fucking hate how high up their asses these tech companies are.

That's called gentrification, and it's bad because reasons.

True, the best way for the black community to get help is from within, but I also don't see that happening anytime soon lol

Tulsa became black wall street because there was a concious effort to keep money in the community. A dollar would change hands a dozen times before leaving. The spinning wheel on India's flag is symbolic of Ghandi promoting Indians making their own clothes to remove dependence on British textiles.

I think the problem is the managerial state won't allow people to easily invest in their own communities, since it directly threatens power. The people have accepted that the government can arbitrarily shut down whatever it wants.

I wouldn't want to lionise Ghandi's economic policies (or anything about him to be honest but that's another discussion). His autarkic and economically traditionalist pushing kept India impoverished for decades and was part of what made it worse off for so long than it had been under British rule.

Ghandi wasn't good for material wealth, but he did achieve his political goals.

Honestly this was figured out as soon as slavery ended. Booker T Washington told those niggas to cast down their bucket, and even made himself an example of how to do it. But they've routinely disregarded it more and more as time goes on. Kind of doubt that's going to change any time soon.

One of the things black employees of Google kept asking for when I was there was an Atlanta engineering office. Google talked big about a lot of racial bullshit, but though there are offices in Atlanta, there's still no Atlanta engineering office.

It's something of a software desert, as far as I can tell.

I bet Google Employees get to put links to the top of the NRA on their developer pages, right?
