"In 1995 D'Souza published The End of Racism, in which he claimed that exaggerated claims of racism are holding back progress among African Americans in the US. He defended the Southern slave owners and said, "The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well."[52] D'Souza also called for a repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and argued: "Given the intensity of black rage and its appeal to a wide constituency, whites are right to be nervous. Black rage is a response to black suffering and failure, and reflects the irresistible temptation to attribute African American problems to a history of white racist oppression."[53]"
One thing he ain't, is woke.
There may be some truth to at least some of what he writes.
Black immigrants, who come to America seeing it as the land of opportunity, find it to be so (unlike those held back by exaggerated claims of racism, which represents an industry and career for some people.)
How is ChatGPT related to, or different from, earlier algorithms that were quite effective in selecting inmates to be approved for parole who did in fact have a low recividism rate? I recall its handlers were embarrassed by some aspects of its work.
