I love how Silicon Valley Bank is being portrayed as a "woke" bank, and their failure is blamed on being too woke.
There is absolutely nothing that the US won't try to blame on Black folk.
Less than 2% of VC money even goes to Black folk. By assets, it was an anti-woke bank.
Black. Woke means Black.
@mekkaokereke They're trying to throw us queer folks under the bus too, for good measure. Fuck these racist-ass, bigot-ass motherfuckers. I'm so sick of it. I'm so sick of reading the words "woke" and "diversity hire" in these opinion pieces, in comments sections... everywhere. It makes my fucking blood boil. And a national paper has the audacity to publish some fool saying "I'm not saying white people would have done this better but"? Fucked. It's all fucked.
Wall Street Journal - unsurprising in their asshattery, once again.
@ronja @mekkaokereke It's certainly nothing new, but you can see the shift from dog whistle to air horn in real time.
Yeah. That 2 veterans are on the list of identities that WSJ implies are "under qualified" to participate in leading a bank is unexpected and, frankly, somewhat shocking.
