I flagged it because it is an article written to promote further bias, while under the guise of 'exposing racism'. If you think promoting race politics is the goal of HN, I will find a different forum. My time in SV could not have been more different than what this boased article proports. Fuck identity politics and fuck bloomberg, and fuck you for promoting this drivel.

> It's not race politics or gender politics. It's simply a fact of life for people who aren't white males.

Or you can simply find a viable business model and remain bootstrapped without running to VCs for capital all the time, which is just like begging to have another boss, when in reality, they're creating a gigantic exit scam IPO or may pull out with their cash at anytime. [0][1]

Nothing stopping them and no excuses here.

What I find interesting among the woke crowd (white leftys): they believe any claim a black person makes - especially when it is "their experience." They don't question what that person says - because they are black. It is particularly interesting that the education system is actively teaching our youth - especially black youth - that racism is prevalent today. Teaching young people that they are hated by others (albeit whites) simply because of their skin color (without evidence to the claim) is the reason why we have a race war - not because "the majority whites are keeping blacks down/killing them/etc."

It’s remarkable that some people would rather believe an entire race has a victim complex than that they might be facing a legitimate injustice.
