Race

Introduction

Nothing here yet.

DNA Differences

• From a tweet, "Even two San from different groups both living in Namibia’s Northern Kalahari desert, and speaking click languages from the same family, are more genetically distinct from one another, by a solid 20%, than a person from Stockholm is from a person from Shanghai."

Segregation

• "The Rise of Segregation in the Federal Bureaucracy, 1900-1930,"

August Meier and Elliott Rudwick, Phylon 2nd Qtr., 1967, Vol. 28, No. 2 (2nd Qtr., 1967), pp. 178-184.

• "Stripping the Word of its Power: Language taboos die when people stop being afraid of them," John Carter, Barsoom (2025)

The video went viral, as such videos will, and from there we all wearily knew what to expect next. Shiloh Hendrix was screwed. Her life was over. Initially it all went according to script. The mob descended. She was identified, doxxed, her Social Security Number and phone number leaked, her employer was contacted, her regular hangouts were contacted, the school her children attended was contacted. She would soon be unemployed and ostracized from her community. While I do not know Shiloh’s circumstances, she gives the impression of being, well, not exactly middle class if you know what I mean. There’s every reason to expect that her existence is economically precarious. Unemployment could well result in homelessness."

But then a miracle happened.

Shiloh started a GiveSendGo, initially asking for $10,000, a small sum to help her relocate.

The GiveSendGo campaign blew past that goal in 30 minutes, so the goal was extended to $100,000. Shiloh was apparently already in tears when the campaign reached the $10,000 level – that isn’t a lot of money, so we can assume she really is living on the economic precipice. In any case, the $100k goal was shattered too, so the bar was raised to $250k ... which was also reached and rapidly exceeded. As of the time of this writing, Shiloh has raised over $360,000 $380,000 $390,000, with a $1M stretch goal. It goes up a thousand dollars every few minutes or so.
