The Voting Rights Act makes our democracy stronger, giving every American, from all walks of life, the right to vote. But the work is far from finished. Join me and @WhenWeAllVote for a Week of Action to get folks registered and ready to spread the word. https://t.co/C4obhrVHLp
@DinaPomeranz From a psychological perspective, we understand that feelings are extremely important in helping to determine behavior. Not advocating handing out cash necessarily, but giving hope to people who feel hopeless is a legitimate strategy in empowerment!
@DinaPomeranz Almost every technological advance has changed the jobs that are available, but not significantly reduced the number of available jobs as I understand it. The same should be true of AI and robotics.
@earbatli@JohnHolbein1@nberpubs If you are Black and standing in front of a Republican judge you don’t really care what bias the gap is driven by. For that person it is not an academic exercise, but a matter of actual incarceration or freedom!
@DinaPomeranz The US categorization of race has never really made sense. It has always been more about who to exclude than who to include. It’s more about entitlement versus disadvantage than origin or even melanin.
@RealCandaceO@KingJames@RealBenCarson@CondoleezzaRice All three are very accomplished in their own fields. Why do we have to choose sides? Can’t we just appreciate them all for who they are and what they have done? Unnecessary divisiveness is what really breaks us!
@WordSmooth@arneduncan Absolutely! I believe we should make the person who last legally owned the gun as legally responsible for the shootings as the person actually pulling the trigger.
@DinaPomeranz Why do U.S. politicians like President Trump and others focus so much on trade deficits assuming they are all bad when there is so much evidence to the contrary? Why are they not held accountable by media and other politicians?
@Sunset_USA@nytimes We are so divided these days that it is really scary. Our real enemies are without and not within. You and I have way more in common than we do different. My hope is that we can focus more on our common goals and grow stronger! Blessings to you and yours!
@Sunset_USA@nytimes I get that you don’t like BO, but is it really necessary to hate him. I disagree with much of what President Trump does and says, but I will never hate him. United we stand but divided we fall as a country.
@GoodHombres @nytimes So, I believe the place where the article and most of society goes wrong is in not seeing that everyone has both advantages and disadvantages no matter there ethnicity. If I see my disadvantages as opportunities for growth I overcome them!
@GoodHombres @nytimes I think I understand what you are saying. But you don’t really believe the issue to be about who has more or less melanin in their skin do you? Obviously it’s about who has privilege and who has disadvantage.
@LisaThornton50 @samlaganini @nytimes I think that’s a great idea! Let me start. Hi I’m Tim and Lisa I apologize to you. See that didn’t hurt at all! I believe forgiving helps the forgiver way more than the forgiven. All the best to you and yours!
@BamaBelle119 @nytimes I’m sorry you have been mistreated that way. No body is perfect. We are all just doing the best we can to do the best we can. All the best!
