Kendra James spent her summers playing with all kinds of toys:
On labor, automation, and race: "Depending on strategic interventions, automation could increase or decrease racial inequality. Recognizing that a disproportionate share of African American and Latino
workers are employed in jobs that are at high risk to automation, automation could increase
racial inequality.
Displacement of half of the African American workers in just the 30 largest occupations at high-risk to automation without transitioning them into new employment opp...ortunities could increase the African American unemployment rate from 7.5 percent to over 20 percent. In contrast, economic disruption can, if properly harnessed, create new opportunities that address long-standing social inequities. For example, strategic interventions by policymakers that increase connections between educators and employers,
equip workers in African American and Latino communities with premium skills for new job opportunities, and provide pipelines to help them secure and succeed in these positions
can help reduce racial disparities. In 2018, the Joint Center’s research will explore the most effective solutions." http://jointcenter.org/…/Race%20and%20Jobs%20at%20High%20Ri…

A video about Sports and Beyoncé by the R's Kendra James.
Why the Olympics are the celebration of black excellence that everyone needs right now:
"IN 2013, AFTER Biles won a bronze medal on the balance beam at the world championship in Antwerp, Belgium, Italian gymnast Carlotta Ferlito told an Italian interviewer, “I told [teammate Vanessa Ferrari] that next time we should also paint our skin black so then we can win too.” A spokesman for the Italian federation tried to clarify, saying “the current trend in gymnastics … is going toward a technique that opens up new chances to athletes of color, well-known for power, while penalizing the elegance typical of Eastern Europeans.” Both later apologized." http://theundefeated.com/…/the-difficulty-of-being-simone-…/
