For black CEOs in Silicon Valley, humiliation is a part of doing business

Whoa! I didn’t realize Leland Stanford was racist. And blatantly so. Makes you wonder if the university should be renamed.

It's named after his only son, who passed away from Typhoid at 15: https://facts.stanford.edu/about/

Did you realize that Abraham Lincoln was a racist? Did you realize that almost everyone who hasn't undergone a lifetime of "anti-racist" propaganda is a racist?

Anyway, as to the subject of the article, I think it was covered in an episode of "The Jeffersons".

The zealots won't care.

There are plenty of statues and a mausoleum for Leland Sr. on campus.

I think signing the Emancipation Proclamation, prosecuting the Civil War, and ultimately paying for it all with his life, give him a pass for his personal views that would be considered "racist" by today's standards. In Lincoln's case, actions really spoke far louder than words.

Wasn't one of his primary motives to cripple the Confederacy by signing the Emancipation Proclamation? In other words, he didn't simply do it because it was the right thing to do.

Any move to cripple the Confederacy would be good right? Considering their aims?
