I would just ask myself “Am I dreaming?”

When I’m awake, I immediately answer “no,” but when I’m asleep, I’m not sure. That’s enough to know that I’m not awake.

I believe this is a reference to Emmett’s Sept 16 [1] post on X:

> I specifically say I’m in favor of slowing down, which is sort of like pausing except it’s slowing down.

> If we’re at a speed of 10 right now, a pause is reducing to 0. I think we should aim for a 1-2 instead.

Part of it may be social networks. Recruiting "everyone" usually ends up being recruit "everyone you know". And social circles are often not terribly diverse: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/08/25/t...

Older members of my family. They simply related to me their experiences living in the United States. Unfortunately the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was not that long ago and the world didn't change overnight with its passage. And they received similar teachings from their parents who dealt with even greater injustices before that.

Growing up in the United States, I was often told that there were certain things that I could not do because I would face a glass ceiling due to my skin color. Reading history books it was clear that this was true for the people who came before me. Looking at the people who were in the positions I wanted to attain, it was clear that something was preventing people who look like me from succeeding in those fields. And listening to the comments I received from my peers, it was clear that I was not perceived in the same way as others.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself. But, from my experience, it is helpful to know that people who look like you can succeed in this world.

The About section of the Black Girls Code site says that its goal is to provide girls of color the opportunity to learn about technology and computer science. It doesn't say anything about level of wealth. So it is unclear to me how the name "Poor Kids Code" would be better

I haven't read the paper yet, but from this snippet you've provided it sounds like the idea is to keep your blockchain private until some point in the future. At that point, every node that views your forked blockchain will accept it as the true blockchain because it is the longest.

Here's an article with Paul Rand's views on the subject (that extols black)

Where I disagree with you on "colour blindness" is that your statement assumes that gender and race are reasonable and obvious ways of categorizing people. How often do you group people by whether or not their earlobes are attached? Or by the curliness of their hair? We have made gender, race, etc important constructs. It would be difficult, but not impossible, to make them unimportant.

Accepting differences is a good thing. However the magnitude of the perceived difference can make accepting it either easier or harder

false. in the united states, as a result of the teachers' unions, it is very difficult to fire a teacher.
