When these dudes were in university, Black people and women were driven out of computer science programs.
When these same dudes were software engineers, running hiring committees, Black engineers and women suddenly couldn't get hired, despite being all over the early industry.
When these same dudes became Venture Capitalists, Black people and women couldn't raise any money or get on any boards, even though Black women disproportionately start small businesses.
Now that these dudes are centi-billionaires, they're open and vocal about their explicitly ethnic cleansing policy positions, and get alt-right presidents elected, and end DEI, and roll back civil rights, and say that giving women the right to vote was a mistake, and talk about white birth rates.
And I have to read nonsense from journalists saying that the extreme money turned them fash?🤡
No.
You turned fash into extremely wealthy people. By being asleep at the wheel while the worst people on earth amassed untouchable levels of wealth.
