"Terrifying"

A lot of those things, I find trying to find an alternative is more negative than what's listed:
Be #1 - just be average
Plan for future - just say f it and live day to day
respect authority - lmao

I like how "objective, rational linear thinking" is on there. is that intended to be a criticism of white culture?

Suppressing the data is definitely the best way forward.
Suppressing the data is definitely the best way forward.
Previously public data has already disappeared from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website after the Trump administration quietly shifted control of the information to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Since the pandemic began, the CDC has regularly published data on availability of hospital beds and intensive care units across the country. But when Ryan Panchadsaram, who helps run a data-tracking site called Covid Exit Strategy, said he tried to collect the data from the CDC on Tuesday, it disappeared.

There are some things you can take from that, and while I don't trace them back to "whiteness" I think it shapes people's beliefs and moral structure that has bled over to society in general and government institutions specifically.
I think a lot of individualism and defining winners & losers comes out of the Prosperity Gospel for instance.
But to take Morkle's examples and phrase their counterparts in a more constructive manner:
Be #1 is much like win at all costs, as though life is a competition with winners and losers. Typically we see the scoreboard as possessions, power, or money. Rather than simply happiness or joy or self content.
Plan for future and delayed gratification - Good things come to those who wait. Work hard and your day will come. But so many do that at the expense of enjoying, witnessing, and being present in the moment. You only have one today, why would you waste it in favor of days you might not get.
respect authority - this one is a bit more of a stretch. Because the Founding Father's didn't in some cases, and we saw this spring that there were still plenty of white conservatives that didn't either when it came to shut down orders. There is a deification of police/fire/armed services, but I see that more as a masculine trait of authority by might/power than as a color or spiritual differentiator.
I'm not saying one is better than the other. Just that there's a Ying & a Yang to it, a balance between the two sides that people should strive for.

I expect even more f*ckery with the data now.Since the pandemic began, the CDC has regularly published data on availability of hospital beds and intensive care units across the country.
But Ryan Panchadsaram, who helps run a data-tracking site called Covid Exit Strategy, said that when he tried to collect the data from the CDC on Tuesday, it had disappeared.
When reached for comment Thursday by CNBC, HHS spokesman Michael Caputo said in a statement that the CDC was directed to make the data available again.

There's been a lot of doom and gloom on this saying Trump will be fudging the numbers. Could somebody explain to me how this is actually not a big deal and HHS is a better source for this info?https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/16/us-coro ... o-hhs.html

I think the explanation originally given was that CDC's data collection method was antiquated?
