Awarding a Pulitzer Prize to Kendrick Lamar's album, "DAMN," was a move to reinforce the status quo.

It has nothing to do with recognizing or supporting black culture or black people. It's a reward for these things:

-black people treating white culture as if it is superior, as if achieving the status symbols of white culture is not only an achievement but is the ultimate achievement for black people who, the underlying assumption is, have created nothing, and could create nothing, from their own culture that is equivalent 

-every racist stereotype about black men

-every racist stereotype about black women:  the saintly mother, the girlfriend who spends her time worrying about whether her boyfriend can be faithful rather than dating someone about whom she doesn't have to worry, and, of course, "hoes."

This picture was a joke about me, wasn't it?

This is another page from which what I wrote vanished from the page when I tried to publish it.   I have to write it all again.  I am outside, in the cold.  I can pay more money, to buy something and be indoors so I can write the page again, or I can stand outside in the cold and try to remember everything that it already took me half an hour to write.  While I figure out what I should do, I'll add the address for the term "Orange is the New Black original promotion" at the Images section of Google.  That's the picture that the title of this page is talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+Is+the+New+Black+original+promotion&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLpNeBkavaAhXE1IMKHS3wDW0Q_AUIESgB&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=w6jZASmCt6OFiM: White people.  Black people.  Latino/a people.  Asian people.  People of all races and religions.  Young people.  M...

This article is one of the few Google results for "North Korea" today that doesn't immediately blame President Trump for everything; it does that later, even after paragraphs that seem to prove that the problem is China.

I don't tend to think that I'm particularly educated, and it is upsetting that being relentlessly targeted for harassment and other abuse has prevented me from being able to obtain advanced degrees and start a professional life. However, my perhaps uneducated opinion about the Councilor's remarks is that I think that the U.S. and Chinese governments are understanding each other.
