44 Black students got into Yale Medical School and people are losing their minds.
Folks outraged about Black students in medical school are either just plain racist or do not a good answer for why the NBA is majority Black, why Koreans dominate esports, why Soviets have historically dominated chess, or why White Americans are overrepresented in business schools.
Nobody is calling for diversity quotas in the NFL offensive line. This is why that inconsistency exposes everything.
It is culture. The answer is CULTURE! It’s not IQ, it’s not genetics. Culture!
When a career path becomes a visible route out of poverty and into dignity for a particular community, that community gravitates toward it. African Americans poured into basketball and football not because of biology but because for decades those were among the only arenas where excellence was rewarded regardless of race.
Business ownership concentrated in White families across generations because White were the ones allowed to own businesses, build equity, and pass wealth down. It is not because they are just naturally entrepreneurial. They tend to go to business school and inherit the family business.
Asians dominate STEM fields in America not because of some inherent intellectual advantage but because immigrant Asian families identified education in technical fields as the most reliable path to stability and drilled that into their children for generations.
Culture explains everything that race cannot to us.
The quarterback position in the NFL was considered a “IQ position” for most of the twentieth century, and was subtly understood to be reserved for White players. Now Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts are the best players in the league at that position. They are a result of what cultural shifts and are not exceptions.
Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time. Serena Williams is the greatest tennis player of all time. Both dominated sports historically called White sports due to so called high IQ requirement . It wasn’t like there was a sudden genetic mutation. It was cultural change, and culture changes who shows up, and who shows up changes what is possible.
The 19th century European anthropologists who invented the framework of racial hierarchy and eugenics were not scientists. They were ideologues in lab coats, producing justifications for colonial extraction. Even though their pseudoscience has been thoroughly discredited, its ghost still haunts conversations like this one, dressed up as concern for merit.
Here is what merit actually looks like. A Black kid from a community with no doctors grows up, sees Ben Carson on television, decides medicine is possible for someone like him, works for it, earns it, and gets into Yale. That is culture catching up to potential that was always there.
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
In 2026, Liverpool have 0 wins in 9 Premier League games in which Mo Salah hasn't started.
Six points from a possible 27.
In all comps, it's 1 win in 12 without Salah starting this year - that win was against Barnsley in January.
They've won 12/17 when Salah has started.

Everyday I look forward to seeing Arsenal fans cry. I use their salty tears for my seasoning. I use their failures for my success. I use their agony for my joy. I am alive today because of this.
Thank you Arsenal for keeping me alive for another day.
Seeing Arsenal fans cry is everything to me. It’s my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Their loss is the only reason i’m still alive. If they never lost, I may as well be dead. I was made to love and enjoy the failures they achieve
@nik8000@lucas_allen07@paulsatvik@WilcoFtbl@LFC But it’s not rocket science to figure if Klopp had a bit more quality depth, we would have won the treble at least. Mr Nik just doesn’t seem to want to get that . Have a nice day
@nik8000@lucas_allen07@paulsatvik@WilcoFtbl@LFC Once again we came close, The thing is give Klopp a bit of more quality depth and we just don’t come close, we actually win more. How is that hard to figure, other teams who failed after spending all those millions do not have Klopp. Like I said I don’t care if we spend.
@nik8000@lucas_allen07@paulsatvik@WilcoFtbl@LFC That is the point Wilco is making, I don’t know why it is so hard to understand that. Like I said whether we sign players or not, it’s still “YNWA”, but you resorting to lowkey insults to sound smart doesn’t make you smart. Just saying.
@nik8000@lucas_allen07@paulsatvik@WilcoFtbl@LFC Exactly we came close. As usual resorting to insults to make coming close sound like a trophy. I don’t mind if we sign players or not. The main thing is a little bit of more quality depth investment could have turned coming close to winners. Learn to communicate without insults
