Some Stray Thoughts
If everyone “gets it” you aren’t saying anything

People won’t understand everything you do. It means you are different. Different is good. Different is difficult.
The idea that racism is solely from the poor and or southern is peak class-ism and gives plenty of people an out to escape their complicity. I’ve dealt with more racism in Manhattan among the “educated” than South Florida “hicks.” https://t.co/b5YZgaIJBn

People love to blame the south and/or poor people for racism when the truth is racism is an issue we all have to deal with. Also, personally I’ve caught way more hell from people who graduated from Harvard and Stanford than people who are working class.

Sketchy is a word I heard a lot while serving on a Jury and like clockwork, the same people saying it pushed to convict, even when the evidence wasn’t sufficent (or not even there).
I love @tom_peters for blessing the world with his work – timeless.

I’ve fallen in love with Tom Peter’s work over the last eight months. His latest, “The Excellence Dividend” is an absolute leadership tome and a lock for my EOY book list.
Every time I see someone talk about nba defense in the 90’s like it was some sort of golden era I puke a little bit

NBA defense in the 90’s was pure intimidation and hand checking. Once that left the leauge you had to think on defense. Drop Kawhi Lenoard, Lebron James, or Al Horford in the leauge in 1990 they are reeling off 10 consecutive Defensive Player of the Year awards.
