Word Association Test

In psychological assessments they sometimes have you take a test where they throw a word out and you are to respond with what first comes to mind

for example, to see if someone is mentally ill or instead fit to stand trial in a murder, say, they might throw out 'red' and if you say 'blood' they go hmmmmmmmm

here are some words,

• Perfectionism
• Sense of Urgency
• Defensiveness
• Quantity Over Quality
• Worship of the Written Word
• Paternalism
• Either/Or Thinking
• Power Hoarding
• Fear of Open Conflict
• Individualism
• Only One Right Way
• Progress is Bigger, More
• Objectivity
• Right to Comfort

for *each* the first thing that should come to mind is "this smacks of white supremacy". If you don't believe me, check out the manual "A pathway to equitable math instruction: dismantling racism in mathematics instruction" that soon may be guiding California math teachers.............
PS: I guess if you are white you typically flunk the test and aren't Woke. Something tells me the average Af/Americans doesn't do so good either though
I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me]

I could look at those words 1000 times a day for 10 years and white supremacy would never occur to me on any of them, nor I'm guessing will it occur to anybody. They are trying to build an agenda where there is none. They are trying to rebuild society with their stupid ideas from the ground up. It won't work it's never worked, it will never work. There is no white supremacy, there is white majority. They are not in any way the same thing. The smartest people will always rule and skin color has nothing to do with it.

I remember back in my taxi cab days picking up people who worked at General Motors and taking them to a med station. They would always tell me the thing they hated most about General Motors was they kept promoting unqualified minorities to management positions and then they would have to pick a smart person (pick a race) to oversee all the decisions the unqualified minority made. This turned management into a continual cluster frick and it drove the employees crazy.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
