Elihu Yale was a slave trader.
Leland Stanford was a racist.
These are the schools we tell our kids to kill themselves over, for parents to cheat over and for society to fawn over.
But their founders were scumbags.
Chamath who, you wonder? He is a pretty big deal in the Silicon Valley circles.

I am calling on both parties in Congress to pass the Strip University Credentials Act for every American university like Yale, Georgetown, and Brown who are founded by slave owners. I’m calling it the SUC Act.
End university racism and these monuments to slavery. #SucAct

Imagine a world without Harvard, Yale, or Stanford.

Won’t have to imagine it soon.
Thing is, these universities will change their names with pride. They’ll sincerely believe they are championing a progressive future by doing so. Then they will wash the feet of black people and apologize until their lips bleed.

Louisiana State University has the same initials as Leland Stanford University.
Change is never comfortable but we need to be brave and demand that our University in Baton Rouge change its name.

Yeah. Let’s destroy top flight schools in the name of social justice. You know what, why don’t we just go all Thanos? You know who committed atrocities? Humans. Therefore, all humans are bad. Kill all humans.Posted on 6/22/20 at 7:21 am to DeafJam73
Do those schools rely on federal gov?

Haha. Everyone in state/national politics is a scumbag. It's funny you believe otherwise.

Chamath is a really smart dude. He blamed a large portion of the economic collapse for COVID on hedge funds and has been calling for regulation of hedge funds

So his conclusion is we need more!
Need less police, but more rules?
Lemme guess who this guy advises to oversee these additional regulations. Someone like himself no doubt.
Dude is an absolute genius!
