@Salamek well i dont know about that. but all i know is this (2020) is really weird year and it showed us some things that we need to change on

  1. Stop Racism
  2. Improve Hospitality
  3. Respect Mother Nature
  4. Best leaders & worst leaders. and more.

I think it is a good idea. Let's ignore current political climates right now and understand... master is a stupid name for the main branch. It doesn't control anything, as the name "master" would imply. While technically grammatically correct, from a developer's eye it gives the wrong idea.

Main branch, default, core, whatever else makes more sense in my mind than a "master" branch, as it gives the idea that it "controls".

I also prefer allowlist and denylist to whitelist and blacklist, the words make more sense in my mind.

In my opinion, it's a good idea whether or not the cause is motivated by racial justice.
