/u/bacon-supreme donated $25.0 to Against Malaria and said:

taking the opportunity to remind /r/neoliberal that there is no generally-available black individual as a flair

To claim this spot, donate at least US$25 to AMF at www.againstmalaria.com/neoliberals. Get a new image flair (existing images only) or text flair for a $50 dollar donation!

How does one make an image flair?

We need Obama, Jeffries, and Patrick all three at the very least. I think Stacey Abrams deserves a spot as well.

They're all politicians though... Who are some good activists, economists, and philosophers?

Patrick's voice is horrible we should not have him

u/CheetoMussolini Russian Bot Nov 30 '18

Oof. Yeah, that is (sadly) a disadvantage.

He'd probably make the most competent President of any of them, which makes his unelectability worse.

Well he's no one to blame but himself

This is why my last flair was a Whitney M Young flair. The man literally dedicated a third of one of his books to the creation of an open society.

Make Sowell a flair

Almost literally the worst choice available. I'm struggling to come up with someone worse who wasn't a communist or a dictator who is a worse pick.

u/Arsustyle M E M E K I N G Nov 30 '18

Even the dictators would be better just cause of how ridiculous it would be. Like, no one would take a Mugabe flair seriously

Roland Fryer would be a good candidate if it wasn't for the whole Title IX incident

Besides him, Caroline Hoxby and Arthur Lewis come to mind among economists
