Yikes. I suppose the old guard will continue to block progressive change.

We can do better, folks.

Guess we all better start rewriting all of the documentation out there because some PC marketing snowflake wants to get extra brownie points and attention for classifying a color in RGB into a racial divide for which it never originated.blacklists are not always deny/block/disallow and conformed of things that allow you to take actions whatever your choosing upon their contents and your policies.What’s next ? redlisting ? Don’t offend the Russians ... blue ? Don’t want to offend the police ...Leave this crap off the list, it’s not helping anyone.SMH--  J.
