To paraphrase Trading places

McCarthy “I told you I could get Kinzinger out and a black guy into a Republican Congress”Scalise “A bets a bet. Here you are, one dollar. Now you aren’t going to give him any committee seats are you?”McCarthy, “Do you really think I’m going to let a “insert racial epithet” run our congress?”

No one does 'woke'. 'Woke' isn't a real thing.

Many of them still don’t. And for those who do get paid, almost none of them are fairly compensated fairly for their physical work, time, talent, and emotional labor.

They offer you "escape from the Democrat plantation" by hiring you as a house n*gr*.

It's a pyramid scheme, of course.

The NYT's did not allow comments for this piece of journalistic garbage. That's probably okay though since my comment would have unlikely been posted by them anyway. It would have gone something like this: BEING A RACIST WHO SUPPORTS RACISM DOES NOT EQUATE TO DIVERSITY, YOU DUPLICITOUS MOTHERFUCKERS!
