Of course, Grok has no problem with this. Quoth Grok:
The full context of the quote is usually rendered as:
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved…. After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.”

Over 330,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired last year and were not replaced.

This is good news but one wonders how many of these fired or retired employees were replaced by contractors. This is a standard trick: re-hire or replace federal workers with Beltway Bandits.
But unsurprising, right? Given the behavior and signaling by Asian politicians, they are indistinguishable from other minorities: almost identical to Hispanics. These data make me an honorary White man. You too.
The model minority is a deleterious myth
This is 99.9% nurture (political indoctrination) and 0.1% nature.
Now, now. Let us not succumb to the fallacy of the blank slate.
That settles it then, light is a wave.
Further proof, as if any were required, that the law is an ass.

Yes! And let’s hope it has the same tonic effect as the 1980 victory had.
I dk if anybody else remembers the 1970s. A sad decade, overshadowed by Watergate, Ford did his best but in 1976 Carter got elected. In 1979 the staff of our embassy in Iran was taken hostage. And STAYED hostage for 444 days! Carter tried and agonizingly, horribly, muffed a military rescue. Stagflation. The entire world trembling whenever OPEC sneezed.
Then in 1980, the US hockey team WON!!! We felt good, so good, outta all proportion, really. But a few years into the 1980s, everything took off! And by the end of the decade, the Berlin Wall fell! Okay at this point that may not seem like a big deal, but to those of us who had grown up with The Wall, a symbol of alienation and oppression and of the power of our great enemy— it WAS!
The hockey team victory was the break of dawn in 1980. So mote it be in 2026!
It was the worst. As bad as the Biden (almost) half-decade was, the 1970s were worse. Since I was in school for all of that decade, the bad economics, the gas lines, and the stagnflation were only minor annoyances. When you’re young and stupid, all the warnings about how horrible life is going to be simply wash over you. And, miraculously, by the time I was ready to go to work, the nightmare was over. My thesis defense was on Election Day, 1980. After that, it was Morning in America — even though the ad came out four years later.
Yes,it took a while. In 1982, the DJIA was in the 700s. I recently mentioned that to a 30ish friend who works on Wall Street, and she politely suggested, obviously thinking I was having a “senior moment”, that maybe I meant 7000? It took till mid-decade for things to really gin up, and then we had October 1987…..the first few years of the 80s were not good economically. I read somewhere that it was when the price of oil fell that the Reagan economy really took off.
Also—interest rates! I couldn’t believe it when I heard people commenting that 6% is “the highest mortgage interest rate ever!” In the 1970s the interest rate on a mortgage was always around 9%. You might have the good luck to get a few %points lower, or the bad luck to get stuck with a few points higher, but 9% it was. In the early 1980s, somebody came up with Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs). A lot of people re-financed. Incredibly, it was like betting that rates would drop,Then the rates went to like 18%. Oh, yeah, and unemployment increased . People were losing their homes to foreclosure. It was so dire that in Pa the legislature actually proposed giving people a “right” to their jobs: in addition to unemployment comp, people would have had a right to administratively challenge their firing, even though all employment is traditionally “at will” in the absence of a contract to the contrary. Insane, but the legislature felt it hadda try SOMETHING! Anything! It was a nightmare.
Why did Reagan even WIN in 1984? Well—people then remembered the 1970s, and Carter’s VP just wasn’t an appealing choice to anybody. And by the end of the decade, it seemed we had mаde the right choice.
Gavin Newsom says the quiet part out loud. Some reactions to this video are along the lines of, “See! Newsom is really as stupid as he says he is.” Newsom is not a low IQ guy, even though he makes some stupid choices. The reality is that leftists like Newsom view minority individuals as inferior to them: stupid and illiterate in this case. The Left views them as pets whose principal value is to provide votes to keep the Left in power.
