"Fine. That's Not Scalable."

 Brilliant remark, about radical racist deprogramming, from Talia Lavin, an expert on white supremacist groups and culture here in "color blind" and "not as badly racist as it used to be,"  America.  I heard this in a chat she had recently with Briahna Joy Gray  on her Bad Faith YT channel.

As well as that is a brilliant stand alone, and capable of applying to many things and ideas, I point that like a loaded super soaker squirt gun at the plague on the nation that is the anti anti racists.  Talk about a group of people who need to be told their ideas are about as likely to do any good as crossing your fingers to cure cancer, or global warming.  Telling people that black and brown people do not need to be told they are being victimized is really, literally stooge level stupidity.  Stooge level, because the person being raped knows it and does not need to be told it.  Likewise people on the bad end of any kind of abuse (usually.  Let's leave Stockholm Syndrome for another day.)

Stop pretending that labeling theory applies here.  There.  Black and brown folk who live below the poverty line, and are still suffering racist bullshit  . . . wait, wait for it, fucking, motherfucking wait for it, don't need to be informed of that.  24/7/365?  Them brothers and sisters know that fucking shit already.

And motherfucking just stop with the re fried Booker T. Washington bullshit.  It is one thing to teach a person how to fish.  But to say to them, hey  you need to learn how to fish, and walk away from them?

Well that is no solution. You are not helping anyone.  Just fucking stop.  And if you really want to help, for starters,  fucking stop podcasting and go out and do some public service.  You don't have to do or stop doing shit because I say so.  But I am fucking right about this, and if you read this you are going to know  I am right.  The question is will you change your, even if not evil, definitely not at all helpful ways?

You might be thinking, hey.  Maybe I can figure out how to work that re fried Booker T. Washington,  self esteem building message and make it scalable?  Nah. Don't even think of it.  That is my point with the quote.  that shit is not scalable.  But if you insist, try and start a single charter school. Takes a good 10 or so years to figure out if you are doing  a good enough job.  Then go ahead and start another.  But you are not going to stumble on some magic formula that allows you to replicate that system city to city, and state to state, with predictable success.

That is what not scalable means!
