Using it satirically to point out hypocrisy is one thing, and that’s fair (but you need to make it obvious). If people don’t get it’s a particular person’s actions you’re mocking then you’re doing it wrong
He’s incorrect because it’s not founded in racial inferiority, it’s grounded in unequal access to resources and opportunities.
By denying racist policies being in place to create and maintain inequality he helps ensuring the kids can’t escape racism.
These people are arguing it’s racist to acknowledge reality, centering the logic around denying that their racist policies have any racist outcomes, and accusing the kids of being at fault for circumstances outside their control.
These same people would never agree that nepotism driven preferential access for rich white kids is a sign of “racism of low expectations”, but when the kids are poor they will scream that same argument at the top of their lungs.

There’s been more solar and battery storage capacity installed this year+last year in USA than all prior years combined. And those investments are happening because the return of investment is huge. Those batteries are there to smooth out the supply and helps keep the grid stable.

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...
There’s a million different ways “third party” can go. Sometimes they take the job seriously and have enough mandate to get it done, sometimes they don’t. The latter is especially risky and problematic when they’re hired by the party accused.
The only way to ensure you get the former is to let somebody not involved in the accusations make the choice of which auditors to hire
Interestingly enough it’s the same kind of historical relationship with Russia and Ukraine, where Russia claims rights over Ukraine due to “shared history”, when in fact the details of that history supports Ukraine claiming Russia instead.
Would I try to make things better even for strangers if I had no empathy?
I know why plenty of them feel what they feel. But they’re assigning blame in the wrong directions, in large part due to propaganda, and that propaganda needs to be countered or else there won’t be enough support to actually implement the fixes.
That won’t be a copyright issue, but if you’re deliberately making it indistinguishable from somebody else it can be a publicity rights issue by (false) implicit support from the one impersonated.
Do you not remember that the Republican majority SCOTUS declared his attempt to unilaterally forgive student debt to be illegal? That’s why they’re going through different categories of loans type by type and doing it in batches to ensure each one is on solid legal ground that even this SCOTUS would find difficult to overturn. His first batch after the SCOTUS ruling literally cited a legal basis that SCOTUS had affirmed!
Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You’re blaming them for things they have no power over.
Trump would be worse on all metrics you mentioned. He WAS worse on them during his presidency! Even the best policies you might cite was introduced by democrats!
When loudness is described there’s often lists with examples of things with their typical loudness specified in dB, so you can compare against things you may have heard.
Destructive interference is a thing. The energy of the vibrations doesn’t go away, however you CAN shift that energy into different frequencies and destructive interference done correctly will effectively shift it into so high frequencies that the vibrations are better compared with heat than with sound (what is heat convection anyway if not extremely high frequency sound? :)
