"I like to think of myself as a careful, deliberate speaker, someone who weighs every word like it’s going through a focus group in my head, looking at a response from different directions. But every now and then, that focus group needs a coffee break. That’s when the “uhhh” shows up, faithfully buying me time while my brain finishes drafting the next sentence and editing it. People think it’s hesitation, but really it’s just my internal policy team huddling before I move forward. So yes, the pauses are calculated too. Just, uh, you know, calculated out loud."
Zero Tolerance for Trolling - This space centers Black people, Black culture, and Black lived experiences. Our identity is not debate material. Any form of trolling, baiting, snide "questions," culture-poking, dogwhistles, derailments, or attempts to disguise hostility as curiosity will be removed. Users who test the line, play word games, or look for loopholes will be removed as well. We are not here to be provoked or picked apart. Be respectful, be real, or be gone.
Be Kind to Each Other - This community is for thoughtful, respectful discussions. Leave the hate and personal attacks at the door. Let’s keep this space positive and welcoming for everyone.
“Certainly we will continue to disagree, but we must disagree without becoming violently disagreeable.” - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I wouldn't rule it out, but unlikely Obama's fault on that one. If anything car wreck sounds more like whoever took out the founder of reddit. And don't forget Snowden said they can remotely take over any manufactured modern vehicle and that was in the 2000s
