Ah yes, because the early civilizations in Africa and Asia waited till 4 pm to start the day.

It's almost like the article author has never heard of Christianity and the concept of suffering=purity.

I mean, the notion of waking up early being a sign of being more productive is outdated and stupid, but white supremacy? Come on world, stop it.


Exactly. Studies have shown that the exact opposite is true in schoolchildren. But there’s no racial element at all. The writer went off the rails with this one.

Yep. On top of that, the most productive time to have a meeting is between 10-noon. The best time to have a meeting for attendance is 2:30.

You're the equivalent as the person that called all black men "boy". Congrats

I guess I am a full blown white supremacist then. Even after being retired for 10 years I still get up around 5 AM.

By this notion, that means roosters are racist... waking everyone up at the arse-crack of dawn.

I mean, are you able to ignore it or do you think, "might as well get up because no one is sleeping through all that racket" ??

Wouldn't it be especially best to wake up early in Africa, before it gets too hot to work?


Well, that's what farmers, of all skin tones, in the South did. Start early before it gets too hot, rest during the heat of the day, then hit it again in the afternoon. Makes more sense than spending your entire day in the most heat.

But this snowflake is clueless.

My day started at least 2 hours before sunrise and went till at least 2 hours past sunset. It is called farming and you can be any color to farm but you do work harder than a mule so may seem like slavery.

Understandably, the comments are on point. Author is a clown.

We basically already have. The "8-5" doesn't exist anymore by and large. The only thing that really ties "standard hours" currently is the market and banks. If you work with anyone not within your timezone ther are no "standard hours".

This isn’t true for any job that requires real time coordination with other people, which is a lot of jobs.

I always thought I was waking early to beat the rush hour traffic. Thanks for setting me straight.

However, this seemingly innocuous concept is not without its historical and cultural implications. In this article, we will explore the origins of the early-rising narrative and how it is rooted in white supremacy, contributing to the perpetuation of racial inequalities.


So, is this person claiming blacks, by their nature, are non-productive, unsuccessful, and are lazy?

I don’t have a Black Studies degree from Howard University or anything. But that sounds pretty racist. Am I crazy?
