Their revolution isn’t about scholarship—it’s about “social justice” aka Communism, so Tupac is their chosen symbol.

This falls in line with honoring and idolizing people like George Floyd, and all the other hood rats killed just minding their own business. Pillars in their community, advocating for change. Next we'll see a Biggie Small wing in a library that's named after Snoop Dogg, because this is the direction they want our intellect to go. Into the gutter propping up people who keep all of us unintelligent, underinspired, and lazy. The people you suggest probably read books, or wrote essays. They probably had jobs and supported their families and were respected in their community. In other words they were acting white, and we can't have that. I'm waiting for a George Floyd stamp to come out.

The list of possibilities is long. One man that fascinates me, along with his siblings and parents, is Father Patrick Healey, the "2nd founder" of Georgetown University. Another is Vivien Thomas, the developer of the technique for open heart surgery on a child. Amazing men.

I saved this one so I could come back to read it later. I don’t have much to add, but you make me think that, as a society, it seems like we are too anxious to embrace and praise the least deserving these days. Young people have energy, and they need direction. We aren’t doing them any favors by encouraging this kind of mindset. Their futures depend on better ideals and ideas.
