I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometimes
This can’t be real … right?
The human race isn’t THIS stupid yet, right?
RIGHT?!
Seriously, this could be a damn SNL skit.
White veganism is apparently the new white supremacy because it only focuses on the lives of animals while ignoring colonization and stuff.
Don’t ask us, we just work here.
Watch.
Just when you thought vegans couldn’t get ANY more annoying : White veganism is the new WHITE SUPREMACY and OMG-LOL (watch)

You know what's racist/white supremacist?
Everything I do, say, think, or am.
Not due to any overt action on my part, but because of the proclamations of those members of society who have self-identified as being woke enough to actually pass those judgements.
So, simply by the fact that I exist, but with no actual proof or basis to back up those assertions, I have been lovingly and tolerantly judged and condemned.
Thus, I have literally nothing to lose, which means I have no *expletive deleted*s to give.

I think we should do flush toilets next. Western, ignores the hygiene (lack of) practices of traditional BIPOC cultures, nobody needs three bathrooms except a capitalist oppressor, we pay people who are usually undocumented vacationers to clean them and oh yeah, they are white! Toilets are racist and you heard it here first.

The defining instrument of white racism is the smart phone. Invented and developed by white men and made with slave labor.
To combat white racism, one MUST destroy the phone.
This would cause woke heads to detonate.
I would bet most of the woke crowd would define their phone as the single most important object they possess.
By far.

The first part of that (up until you not caring) is functionally equivalent to the ideology of critical racism, oops, critical race theory. They actually do say that white racism is baked in, it's everywhere, and if you're white, you're part of it.
That's supposed to make you feel all guilty and compliant, though, Mike. Bad Mike! Bad!

i seem to recall something on chess along those lines for a while now
After a quick google search
The notion that somehow the ancient pastime of chess is inherently racist due to the rule of white pieces moving first has been broached on an Australian taxpayer-funded national radio network.
The controversy arose when the national broadcaster ABC proposed a radio slot on the matter Tuesday and sought an interview with John Adams, an economist who represented the Australian Chess Federation in 2015.
Adams later told a different radio host the argument has been circulating in chess circles for years.

She defines privilege strangely. Is it a privilege to have band aides that are lighter colored? Really? Would I care if they were all brown? No. She acts like all "white people" let out a maniacal laugh every time they pull out a band aide since they know it is made for them.
Will they demand that the actual bandage pads and gauze pads be changed to black?
-
Band aids were mentioned 30-some years ago, in the "knapsack" article that first brought attention to the idea of white privilege.

I didn't think teachers were allowed to provide medical treatment in the classroom (or outside of the classroom). That would have been a HUGE no-no back in the stone age when I was making my way through grammar and high school. Any injury that required treatment meant a trip to the school nurse.
Why doesn't she just buy the clear bandages and avoid all the drama about the color of the strip?

I thought this was going to be that forensic science is now white supremacy:
https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=17047
I love this line of thinking:
Looking at biological markers that correlate to the things we call "race" is white supremacy.
Also, not thinking that a person's race is the most important thing you can ever know about them is also racist. But you can't tell that person's race from biological (often skeletal) markers, because doing so is racist.
I guess, truly, SKIN COLOR is the only matter of any importance to these race hustlers.

Re Chess:

"Ecru?" By golly I looked it up as a color: greyish-beige, the same color as my "whitey-tighties" when they come out of the dryer.

Racism makes black women fat
Apparently, there’s a show on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network called “Black Women OWN the Conversation,” and from the small sample we’ve witnessed, it might be worse than “The View.” In a recent episode, Brittney Cooper explained why black women don’t lose as much weight on the same diets as white women, and the theory is that the racism that black women experience — the struggle — makes the diets not work for them. We’re not members of the party of science, so we’re not going to judge.

I'm thinking of starting an all-male singing group called The White Supremes.
I'd change the arrangement of the other Supreme's songs to attract a different audience and I think this would bring us together as a nation.
We would finally be healed of our differences.
Peace and calm would be our default status both as groups and individuals.
No need for anyone to call me a hero; I'm just a normal, concerned American like the rest of you.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the objection. Is the problem identifying any race at all is racist? Is anthropology inherently racist? Is the concept of race racist?
I think I must be too old to understand. Maybe the part of ones brain that could possibly figure out why this is a problem is the first part to be affected by Alzhiemrs.

Since I've adopted tribalism as a world view this stuff doesn't really bother me.
I expect folks to support and advocate for that which advances their "tribe".
If gays and trannies are pushing their agenda I understand. If Blacks or other races are pushing agendas that help them at the expense of others, I get it. If Asians, Jews, Indians etc. have "in group" networks that promote their people over others, I know that is the way of the world.
You may not care for tribalism but at least know this, the other tribes really don't care for you and will kick you to the curb if they can.

Someone (Larry Elder?) has said, the demand for racism far exceeds the supply. Of course, that was before our Black Supremacist Summer, and he was talking about the racism (such as it was) of whites toward non-whites.
These days, strictly speaking, that pithy observation is no longer true. The supply of anti-white racism is at least equal to the demand. Yet, to sustain anti-white hatred, the elites must continue to supply evidence of the white supremacy at the center of their narrative. In other words, they have to keep making things up. There is no white supremacist structure in the U.S., nor even a credible attempt to impose one, so "white supremacy" must be found in every passing cloud, and under the bed, and all the other places where it isn't.
Since I've adopted tribalism as a world view this stuff doesn't really bother me.
Good luck with that.

Most ethnicities demonstrate in group loyalty.
Living in the USA doesn't magically sever those bonds.
Some ethnicities are a better fit or naturally assimilate.
There used to be at least some pressure to assimilate to American culture and political ideology.
Not any longer.
We also have ideological tribes, but ideology can be a bit more fragile than ethnicity.

I agree with most of that, differing only in that I'd say some cultures are a better fit or naturally assimilate.
It's certainly true that immigrants should understand the pressure is on them to fit into our culture; not on us to accommodate all of their cultural traits or expectations. Of course, when our leadership seem bent on demolishing America's historic culture and politics...

Our major political and public institutions have been subverted and are now the actual source of tribal/racial/ethnic/ideological strife.
I guess what I was trying to say earlier is I'm not taking it personally that the coalition of the minorities is ganging up on the majority population of "whites" and normies. They are rationally using the system to further their perceived best interests.
Remember the phrase that was bandied about some years ago?
"Don't hate the player, hate the game"
That's where I'm at, I'm not hating on the players but the game. The game, the system, is evil and needs to be overturned. The game is actually corrupting the players, on both sides.
Meanwhile, as much as is possible, I'm not playing the game.

"There's a good chance you pictured letters made from the swingy, wedge-shaped strokes you've seen on restaurant signs, menus, take-away boxes and kung-fu movie posters. These ‘chop suey fonts,’ as American historian Paul Shaw calls them, have been a typographical shortcut for ‘Asianness’ for decades," reporter Anne Quito wrote.
I wonder if that's the case because they work to accomplish the purpose of conveying the idea of "Asianness."
"It's hard not to cringe at the Chinese stereotypes bundled up with each font package -- especially when seen through the lens of today's heightened vigilance toward discrimination and systemic racism. Critics believe that using chop suey typefaces is downright racist, particularly when deployed by non-Asian creators," she wrote before struggling to find examples of White politicians using the fonts.
Right. I, for one, would much prefer to see Chinese food in the ethnic aisle at the supermarket labeled using a Victorian or Olde English Gothic font. It would make my food shopping much easier, and it would be ever so much less racist.
Question: What percentage of the Chinese-American population is complaining that these "chop suey" fonts are racist?

I hate to use logic in this analysis, but if a font is racist because it can "perpetuate problematic stereotypes", then how is calling it a "chop suey font" not also racist?

Pushing racial strife and sexual confusion on the public keeps the public from looking at the real source of societal misery, the power/money guys behind the curtain.
If the public gets bored with the above strife and confusion the "masters of the universe" can always start a pandemic or war.
"Masters of the universe" is tongue in cheek. They are small corrupt humans, money grubbing, power hungry liars.
I'm not sure one can be too cynical these days.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is declaring racism to be a “serious threat” to public health.
The CDC made the announcement this week, saying that racism “negatively affects the mental and physical health of millions of people” and “consequently, affecting the health of our nation.” The CDC director also said that minorities experience higher rates of illness and death across a wide range of health conditions and cited the covid-19 pandemic and its disproportionate impact among minorities as another stark example of these enduring health disparities.

They're correct. I am sick and tired of reading about all this racism, especially when the alleged anti-racism diatribes are inherently racist themselves. From where I sit, this country has become more racist in the past six months than it has been for at least 20 years. I would definitely say that I have been affected negatively.

The current trend of everything is racist actually started with the election of Obama. If you didn't vote for Obama or opposed anything he said or did it could only be because of racism. That mindset was then applied to everything and has been gaining speed ever since.
They've gone into plaid latey if you catch my drift.

At least the Democrats (read: socialists) will have all the minority groups neatly cataloged when their socialist plans fail and they need a scapegoat. Socialists always find a minority, or several minorities, to blame when their schemes go gunny sack.

They attacked gun rights in the 90s, and now they've done such a fine job eliminating the pandemic, they want to fight imaginary racism. Next, they should take on the public health menace of government bureaucracies abandoning their intended purpose, so they can promote autocratic, socialist nonsense.

From our Transportation Secretary
“There is racism physically built into some of our highways, and that’s why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor told reporter April Ryan this week in an interview discussing President Joe Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan.
Buttigieg explained that several major highways in the United States negatively affect minority communities.

Blonde hair
Fox News and Donald Trump have given blonde hair a new chapter: Now, blonde is the color of the right, for whom whiteness has become a hallmark. Over the past decade or so, as inclusiveness became the hallmark of Obama-era liberals, the left found feminist icons in Rachel Maddow, Samantha Power, and Michelle Obama, who make no apologies for their failure to fit traditional ideals. But #MAGA, Fox News America is a place where all the classic signifiers of privilege and wealth work on overdrive: country-club-issue blue blazers with brass buttons and khaki pants, and above all else, for women, that yellow-blonde, carefully tended hair — a dog whistle of whiteness, an unspoken declaration of values, a wink-wink to the power of racial privilege and to the 1980s vibe that pervades a movement led by a man who still believes in the guilt of the Central Park Five.

In an effort to learn how racist blonde hair was, I Googled "cnn anchors and reporters". The page pops up with pictures/links of all of them in a banner across the top (strangely, most seem to be blonde). Not merely images, that's further down the page, these are links to searches of the individual reporters. If you do the same search for "fox anchors and reporters" or "fox news anchors and reporters" there is no such banner. Is this proof that Fox News is so racist that they have infiltrated Google and skewed the search results against themselves?

I finally watched the video. The video they played essentially said former slaves like eating meat so if you cook meat, you are taking meat away from a person whose ancestors were slaves. I am trying to make sense of that, but I really can't. I am going to assume this person who said it is completely ignorant the history of who settled the US and where they came from. I guess they assume the white folks were all rich aristocrats.

The 2021 Edward S. and Melinda Sadar Lecture in Writing in the Disciplines will host Vershawn Ashanti Young, past chair of Conference on College Communication and Composition (2018 to 2021) for a talk titled “Say They Name in Black English: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Atatiana Jefferson, Aura Rosser, Trayvon Martin and the Need to Move from College Writing Instruction and Toward Black Linguistic Arts.”
His address will argue that the exclusive focus on writing and standard language ideology in First Year Composition replicates and fosters state-sanctioned violence against Black peoples

Add automatic soap dispensers to the list
You know, the contraptions in public restrooms all across the fruited plain that magically emit gobs of liquid soap soon after you place your hands underneath them?
Anyway, Israel said one student said the dispensers "don't see her hands" because of her skin's dark pigment.
Oh, but it gets better. He added that another student said the dispensers force "black and brown bodies" to show their palms — which are "the only light areas of the skin" — before the soap will come out.

This article explains that people of color are more exposed to all types of air pollution than whites.
“It doesn’t matter how poor, it doesn’t matter how wealthy, the racial disparities exist for all African-Americans and other people of color,” said Paul Mohai, a professor of environmental justice at the University of Michigan who was not involved with the study.

Being a Christian and they throw in a good dose of TDS
The election of Donald Trump intensified certain strains of Christian nationalism. He fanned fears of pluralism with Islamophobic and anti-immigrant rhetoric. He often invoked Christianity, albeit in terms that were largely about ethnic identity rather than faith. “The greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with is ‘Christian,’ because it means ‘people like us,’ it means white,” Samuel Perry, a sociologist at the University of Oklahoma and co-author of “Taking America Back For God,” told me.

White Vietnam vets, white POWs, Rambo, and Trump
Another potent channel of this emerging dynamic of white blamelessness was the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action movement, which also managed to transmute a cross-racial vets’ issue into a politics of white grievance…. “The whiteness of the Operation Homecoming vets, the most visible and distinguished former prisoners of war, made the POW/MIA movement a vehicle for white racial grievance,” Darda writes, “and the POW/MIA flag has been a common sight at white supremacist rallies ever since. When a 1985 Newsweek headline declared ‘We’re Still Prisoners of War,’ some readers, whether conscious of it or not, would have taken that ‘we’ to mean white America.”

First problem is the POW/MIA flag is also prominent at many post offices and military installations.
Beyond that though I find the thing idiotic. We have no living POWs. We do good finding skeletal remains of MIA. Why it is a political movement at all mystifies me. Not the racial aspect but I could buy the idea it was the product of a generation trying to be noticed and affirmed. I guess they won't call my old ass up but if I am ever MIA don't put up a stupid flag for me, the prospect is baked into the deal when you sign up. The sentiment behind the flag leads to things like pulling out of Somalia after getting a bloody nose instead of the proper response of razing everything to be remembered for centuries and then promptly leaving.

If I'd freaked out, like some of the folks, I could be sitting at home on unemployment-plus, which would pretty much equal an assistant manager's pay rate. And is more than our starting pay rate.
They've been paying a bonus about once a quarter, which is about equal to a week's worth of the "plus."
Probably too late to freak out. I missed 10 days due to having something that tested negative (but had 101-102 fever for most of it), and one day since then. I had a week and a half of vacation go bye-bye, because it is use it or lose it, and we couldn't get anyone to cover. Some guys lost a lot more.

If it's use it or lose it, you take it whether anyone is there to cover or not. If management doesn't hire enough people that's their problem not yours. Otherwise they have an incentive to understaff just so they can steal your vacation. (as if they don't have enough incentive already)

Nice if.
They take your vacation and you get to hope they might like your acquiescence so much they reward it.
With that sort of arrangement they have maximum incentive to give you the shaft while stringing you along with a promotion that never happens.
-
They do promote/source almost exclusively from within - and have been rapidly expanding - I want to say something like 20 stores/month... I started as a driver, with zero knowledge of how cars and the repair stuff really works, four years ago, part-time. I'm an assistant manager now. Thanks to the 'rona reaction, we're severely understaffed. Right now, I'm trying to turn a store around regarding customer service, and that's hard, because there are some folks who discovered that telling the customer "no" is the easiest way to slide through the day. So... Trying to build an actual team.
-
As a test, ask them if they will buy back your vacation since you're too understaffed to take any days off. If they are honest, they should be happy to do that.
I don't know if any of this is actionable through the state Dept of Labor, especially since you're in management, but it will let you know what kind of people you are dealing with.
Good luck.

^^^I have been blessed with good health all my life and consequently take very little in the way of sick leave. As with most healthcare systems nowadays, a few years back, my employer went to paid time off such that you use your hours for vacation or sick leave as you see fit and any unused hours were paid off at the time of separating from employment. They now have a cap in the number of unused PTO hours that are paid off. Some employees with long service were cashing in hundreds of hours and some of the smaller facilities were running into cash flow issues.
-
Every large corporation I ever worked for had some kind of vacation clause to buy back vacation if for business needs you couldn't take it. Vacation time is an agreed upon component of your compensation package. If your company denies your vacation without compensation they are essentially stealing X numbers of days pay from you.
Dig into your corporate policies and look into the vacation issue.
Do you really want to work for a company that will routinely *expletive deleted*ck over their employees over vacation? If they will do that they will find ever more profitable ways to *expletive deleted*ck you.
Might also look into your states labor laws, it may be an actionable offense in your state.
-
^^^The stated rationale for capping either the number of unused PTO hours paid off, or capping accumulation at a certain number of hours is to encourage the employee to use PTO. Sort of a 'use it or lose it' philosophy. That would be different than not being able to use PTO due to business demands, and I think someone should not be penalized for that.

The employer should be penalized for not having enough people; and it's really not that much of a penalty having to buy back the unusable PTO. Its cheaper than paying the overhead costs on another employee. Versus a severe penalty (lost wages) pushed down to the employee for no fault of his own.
"Use it or lose it!"

A T-Bone sounds really good right now
No. 3: Meat is a symbol of white-male privilege
According to Carol Adams, a feminist-vegan advocate and author of the book The Sexual Politics of Meat, the myth that you need meat for strength is “traceable to this intersection of colonialism, white supremacy, and masculinity.”
Historically, Adams says red meat was a luxury reserved for aristocrats, who, at the turn of the 19th century, were largely male and white. The bourgeois didn’t hunt or raise the cattle they ate; servants and peasants did all the physical work, though they themselves couldn’t afford to eat meat on a regular basis.
Regardless, Europeans upheld the concept that meat equals strength, masculinity, and ultimately, superiority. Adams notes that the English bragged about how they were able to colonize India because their soldiers ate red meat unlike the native men. She also mentions that in World War II, the US and UK rationed meat at home so that soldiers on the front lines would have more fuel for the fight. The governments also launched a victory-garden initiative using propaganda that featured only women planting and harvesting vegetables.
People think beef is manly, and that’s a big problem

yoga and everything
The book explores the existence of white supremacy and cultural appropriation in American yoga. “I would venture to say that everything in our collective society is rooted in white supremacy. I am sure there are many people who would disagree with that, and honestly I don’t care because I believe that and I know it’s the case,” she says.
“I think that we see it show up in a lot of different ways. In the same way it’s everywhere else and it has polluted everything else, it’s polluted yoga. It’s very much a part of how yoga has spread in America. The popularity of yoga really came down to wealthy white people wanting to learn and explore in a very specific way, and that’s why yoga has been so white for so long in America.”
Detailing the cultural appropriation in yoga, Stanley says it’s “rampant because we are still living in the legacy of colonization.”

Reporting a rape.
A lawyer today accused Oxfam of suggesting reporting rape is 'contemptible' after a training document said 'privileged white women' were supporting the 'root causes of sexual violence' for wanting offenders jailed because it disproportionately affects minorities.
The charity, which has been hit by a slew of sex scandals including claims that employees used teenage prostitutes in Haiti, compiled the PowerPoint presentation through its LGBT network after the group complained to bosses that the debate about women's rights was part of a 'patriarchal and white supremacist narrative'.
Accompanied by a cartoon of a crying white woman, the PowerPoint claims that mainstream feminism supports 'the root causes of sexual violence' by painting white women as 'victims' and that this in turn justifies excessive punishment for 'black and other marginalised people'.

To be fair, she's using it as an analogy, not actually talking about wi-fi. Though if you took that analogy and actually applied critical race theory, white people are paying double for stuff (i.e., taxes) so POC can get free stuff.
That's of course a generalization. It's more fair to say that working people pay double so welfare slackers can get free stuff, and welfare slackers come in all colors. But if you apply CRT, then you would have to say whites are paying more, not working people are paying more.

Regarding the above:
In a response to LeFevre and Lipson, the Seattle Human Rights Commission – which describes itself as "22 representative residents of Seattle appointed to serve in an advisory capacity to the Mayor, City Council, Seattle Office for Civil Rights, and other Seattle City departments" – said "the unique nature of your situation does not in fact violate any of your human rights as stated in the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights, which is the charter by which our Commission operates."
Aren't they just saying that the UN is racist? I'd actually be curious about what the official response (not that they'd give one) from the UN would be? I'm pretty sure even the really socialist countries in the world aren't as whackadoodle as the US is regarding this racism against whites stuff.

What's racist now?
Well, according to the latest salvo from some idiot in my community who thinks that she's a historian, the history commission I used to serve on, the committee that oversees historic markers (that I used to sit on), and the text of a particular marker that I helped craft an approve.
She's made those claims to our county's Board of Supervisors.
Old hat, though, as she's been claiming we're racist for years.
Only now that I'm no longer on the history commission, I wrote a VERY strongly worded rebuttal to our Board of Supervisors calling her out on her crap.

I tent wonder if a lot of what these people are complaining about is white leftists. IMO, most of those people are cronies who would happily steel internet access or other stuff if the could use their connections to get access. I am sure plenty of the political operatives on the right (or who claim to be) would do the same.

Well, for years she's been screaming about the supposed lack of accuracy in activities by the History Commission. She claims to have all of this information disproving various projects... every time she's asked to present her primary source evidence that backs up her claims, she won't, most likely because she can't.
Her latest crusade is regarding the text on a historic marker in the county. She claims that it's both incorrect AND part of a racist agenda by the history commission. Again, she claims to have proof that the marker text is wrong, citing two descendants of the individual cited on the marker (it marked the location of a home). Once again, however, absolutely ZERO primary source material that can back up her claims.
She knows the requirements for verification of the text that goes into a county marker, yet she refuses to accept that it applies to her. When she doesn't get her way she starts papering the county supervisors and local newspapers in incendiary accusations.
Now that I'm no longer on the history commission I felt that it was time to speak out to the county supervisors. I sent a very strongly worded letter to the supervisors defending the History Commission's activities and processes and pretty much called her a reckless liar, slanderer (she very publicly accused two very respected members of the Commission of racism and promoting a racist agenda) and basically an insane woman.
For your reading pleasure, my letter to the board of supervisors...
"Dear Chairman McKay:
Over the past few days I have been reading, with great interest and growing anger, a series of e-mails from Ms. Corazon Foley regarding, among other things, the Huldah Coffer House Marker in Burke.
I served as the Providence District representative to the Fairfax County History Commission for approximately 15 (2005-2021) years. For part of that time I was a member of the Markers Committee, which was led by Jack Hiller, who laid out many of the guidelines for the scholarship required to establish provenance for the text on Fairfax County markers. I was part of the committee that vetted the Coffer research, done by noted historical researcher Debbie Robison, that resulted in the text on that marker.
The Coffer marker’s text, as with the text on ALL Fairfax County History Commission markers, is based on verifiable documentary evidence that was uncovered during Ms. Robison’s research processes. The standards to be met for the text for any marker are listed in section III of the History Commission’s Historical Marker Guidelines (https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/history-commission/sites/history-commission/files/assets/documents/historicalroadsidemarkers/fairfax_county_marker_guidelines_071116.pdf).
When she began her campaign against the text on the Huldah Coffer house marker Ms. Foley was asked to produce primary source documentary evidence to bolster the claims she has made – to date she has not done so, but continues to press her case for using oral/family history from modern-day descendants of the Coffer family. Oral histories are valuable tool for any researcher but, unless claims made in an oral history can be backed up with primary source materials, they can only be viewed as an individual’s (potentially faulty) memories or their recounting of stories (also potentially faulty) that have been passed down through the family.
I also take exceptional umbrage to Ms. Foley’s veiled insinuation that the marker’s text is essentially driven by a racist agenda. Ms. Foley has a long history of crying racism when asked to provide primary source documentary references to back claims that she has made or when she feels that her claims are not being given sufficient attention. Several years ago, she publicly accused a sitting member of the History Commission of racism. Her claims were found to be baseless, but to date she has not even as much as apologized for slandering that individual. This is but the tip of this iceberg. There is much more to the saga of Ms. Foley’s recurring accusations against the History Commission and its members, both past and present, but they are outside of the scope of her current claims.
Serving on the Fairfax County History Commission is one of the proudest accomplishments of my life and I refuse to stand idly by while an individual with a long-standing grudge levies such baseless accusations and impugns the reputations of the individuals with whom I was privileged to serve. Thank you for allowing me to share my side of this sorry story.
With appreciation for your time and attention"

Heat injustice

Extreme heat is a justice issue. Within the same city, some neighborhoods can be up to 20°F hotter than others. Studies have shown that heat risk is disproportionately distributed to communities of color in patterns associated with segregation and redlining.

In my experience, many of the biggest (most polluting) fireworks displays are in the wealthy communities that can afford the fancy displays. Also, here in rural white Idaho, the neighbors have been shooting off fireworks for days now. I demand government issued air filtration.
These were not real scientists doing this "study" and National Geographic hasn't been a science magazine for years now.

Large dark rocks
The University of Wisconsin–Madison moved the former Chamberlin Rock, an object that had become a painful symbol of racism to generations of students, to a site off the main campus on August 6.
The rock had sat at the crest of Observatory Hill since 1925. That same year, it was referred to in a newspaper headline by a deeply offensive nickname that included a racial slur. The derogatory nickname was commonly used at the time to refer to any large, dark rock.
UW–Madison historians have not found evidence that the racist term attached to the rock in the 1925 newspaper article was used in any capacity by the university

Karens
Likewise, today’s Karen contains multitudes. Her bias isn’t necessarily overt; she may believe she doesn’t have any. She’s the liberal white girlfriend perfectly at ease dissing the cop who asks her Black boyfriend for I.D., counting on her whiteness to prevent violence, and simultaneously a psychopath who sees Black people as mere vehicles for white self-actualization, as in Jordan Peele’s 2017 film, “Get Out.” She’s bipartisan, at once the conservative TV show host Megyn Kelly, waxing nostalgic in 2018 for a time when blackface was “OK,” and the progressive senator Elizabeth Warren, who, as a law professor in the 1980s and 1990s, identified herself as Native American (and was accorded minority status) based solely on family folklore about a distant ancestor at least six generations removed.
Widen the lens and any white woman — every white woman — could be a Karen, if she’s perceived as taking for granted the advantages bestowed by her skin color and ignoring the labor and suffering of others.

Halloween
EXCLUSIVE: A Seattle elementary school canceled Halloween over "equity" concerns.
The district claims that black male students don't celebrate Halloween–it marginalizes them.
Instead, the school will provide "thematic units of study about the fall." https://t.co/lfHNIqaZMJ
— Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) October 13, 2021
“Historically, the Pumpkin Parade marginalizes students of color who do not celebrate the holiday,” the spokesperson claimed. “Specifically, these students have requested to be isolated on campus while the event took place. In alliance with SPS’s unwavering commitment to students of color, specifically African American males, the staff is committed to supplanting the Pumpkin Parade with more inclusive and educational opportunities during the school day.”

Which is really interesting, given that President Brandon was begging the brown people to pump more oil because he's waging a war against domestic production.
Yet nary a peep about how racist that is.
I wish I had been a major oil exec and she made that statement to me. I'd have just started laughing at her and ask if the company should stop selling its violence liquid to black and brown communities to protect them?

Yeah, I watched a few minutes of that, and I understand why they have to be polite. If it were me though, I would be hard-pressed not to use words like "idiot" and "liar". Especially when addressing employees of the voters. Especially when addressing Cori Bush.
On the other hand...

I generally hate these hearings, because people from both sides of the aisle will use them to grandstand, and their outraged pontifications are just the epitome of overacting. Donalds was clear, composed, logical, and smart. Personally, I think that does a lot more damage to the other side than grandstanding and table pounding.

I don't remember what the "tiki torch" origin is, but it is apparently white supremacist. Also, apparently Virginia dem operatives and the Lincoln Project faked a tiki-torch demonstration at a Youngkin event to "link" him to racists. Sadly for them, they were discovered. Then the usual suspects continued to spread the fake news, with the fake story being spread a bajillion times, vs the dozen or so times the correction has been passed on.

I believe the Tiki torch association comes from their use at the so-called Unite the Right rally.

The Daily Beast is always serious (and crazy).
I might have to do business with that company. The Daily Beast lamented:
The Daily Beast attempted to contact the people behind Mighty White Soap Co for comment via email and social media accounts associated with the brand, as well as email addresses and numbers associated with an individual linked to the company. We did not receive a response. However, after we reached out they did release a new bar of soap, “Journalistic Integrity,” with a particularly long product description criticizing the press.

I guess it's just as well to put this here vs starting a new thread.
The Salvation Army has gone woke for their biggest donation period of the year, which I suspect will now be much smaller. They have put out a new "racism guide". It's apparently aimed at the SA itself, versus the people who donate to them, but you would think they would have learned a lesson from the big corporations who do this, demanding their white employees apologize for being white. Once it gets out they do this internally, a lot of people will be turned off by the organization, and I would submit that the vast majority of dollars dropped in the holiday kettles come from white bread white people. Progressive white people hate the SA, and I think the minority contributions are a pretty small percentage.
I used to write a big check to the SA every Thanksgiving (actually credit card on their website), but haven't done so for a few years now because I already didn't like how they seemed to have started concentrating the general donation funds to substance abuse. Not to be callous, but I prefer my charity money go to people who are in dire straights through no fault of their own. I have still been dropping C-notes in the local kettles during the holidays, but I think I'm going to cut that off too.
I've already been switching my contributions to local charities, and I think now I will be doing that 100%. I can choose organizations for which I can get on the ground data, and know the funds are going to good deeds by people who don't cave to loudmouths on social media.
It's too bad. I have always liked that the SA used their money much more efficiently than organizations like the Red Cross, who spend half their donations on donor parties.

( ^ Heh, heh. Maybe you should have started a new thread. A possibly hot-button, triggering, subject.)
Quite a while ago, after being disgusted with the abuses of most of the large charities, I adopted a policy of finding my own (local) needy folks and contributing to my church with instructions to the Deacon to advance that amount to the folks I had found on my own. This had the dual benefit of maintaining my anonymity and "making points" for the Church.
The one exception to this was at work where the United Fund campaign was guilting everybody into 100% departmental contributions, and I found among the listed United Fund charities one I felt was "reliable" so I could designate them as the recipient.
So I'd throw in a couple of bucks with that designation to satisfy the 100% departmental United Fund bullshit.
Nowadays I severely limit any contributions, especially to foreign charities. This, on the theory that they should solve their own damned problems; we have our own damned problems to worry about.
Gettin' a little tougher about charities in my old age and dotage, I am, I am.

Correction: United Fund should be United Way.

I've not seen anything like that from my local chapter of The Salvation Army. There's nothing about it on their web site...
I guess I will need to ask them about it before renewing the monthly checks I have my bank send them for another year (sent to the local office, not their corporate office)

When I was new to the company, I let them bully me into giving $5 to the United Way campaign so they could claim 100% participation. And I hated myself afterwards for allowing myself to be taken advantage of like that. (the company wanted us to put-up the money so they could claim they donated it; I assume not for tax purposes but for PR) I never donated to United Way again.

It could very well be that local chapters will ignore the "corporate" policy, much like my local Costco seems to ignore their corporate "no guns" policy. If I read or hear something from the local SA on this, I might change my mind about the kettles, but I'm still sticking to "no money to the national site" for now.

This is eerily similar to my experience when I first joined the workforce.

Designating your donation to go to a specific UW charity doesn't mean much. If UW was going to give Charity A $100, and you designated your $10 donation to go to A . . . . well, YOUR money will go there, but they'll shift $10 of the original $100 somewhere else. So A gets the same $100 planned before you donated your money.
Sad to hear the Salvation Army is going woke. My Dad and two uncles on my Mom's side of the family - all WW2 vets - all had good things to say about the SA. On the flip side, all three of them had difficulty talking about the Red Cross without a lot of profanity.

I saw a great comment on breitbart:
I guess what they're saying is... Instead of putting money in those buckets this year - drop in a little note that says 'I'm Sorry'.
-
I listened to some debate this morning that might have me moderating my thoughts on the SA and possibly still putting money in a local kettle, It does seem something happened at their national level that made local chapters unhappy regarding the blowback from this. It was suggested (no proof) that national SA might have, like so many corporations and large organizations, hired a "diversity and inclusion" executive that needed something to do.

Until the national un-hires their "diversity and inclusion" executive, the SA is off my list.
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." The obvious corollary is, "If you're part of the problem, you're not part of the solution."

Reminds me of when the local rag still had a website where people could debate one another and the paper's editorial writers. One weekend the topic was how to save money in local schools - I wrote a short note the gist of which was concentrate on academics - and start by firing every employee who had the word "diversity" as part of their job title or job description. To the horror of staffers, this opinion gained several times more support than the contrary opinion, which was that we needed more diversity pros.
Because of this and many, many other instances where the readership and editorial staff parted ways, the paper discontinued their forums.

The very same thing happened with The Rocky Mountin News in Denver maybe 15 years ago. I guess the publishers forgot that while there is a Freedom of the press, there's also a freedom of the public.
I remember back in New York every once in a while the New York Daily News would have a letter to the editor that either started or ended with "I'll bet you don't publish this."
I always thought that was funny and I wondered how many "I'll bet you don't publish this" letters they actually got.

Farmer's markets and food charities
She took particular aim at farmers markets as being too white. She uses a quote from Rachel Slocum (“a preeminent researcher on whiteness and food”) as a jumping-off point.
“What that does is it erases the past and present of race and agriculture. What whiteness also does is ‘mobilizes funding to predominantly white organizations who then direct programming at nonwhite beneficiaries,’” she said. “And we’ll talk about that a little bit more when we talk about communities that can’t take care of themselves. Also, what this does is it creates inviting spaces for white people. Then program directors or farmers market directors are scrambling because they’re trying to add diversity to a white space. So what whiteness does is center whiteness.”

I just a few days ago gave a big chunk of change to the Idaho Food Bank, and lo and behold, once again it appears that I'm a racist. I should just keep my money and buy stuff for me if every time I give to a charity I'm a white devil for doing so.
Also, the Farmer's Markets back in Santa Barbara were heavily Mexican in a city known for its rich white liberals.

Wow!
So a POC claims that music theory is White supremacy, a professor of music theory puts out an academic journal in which some articles support the White supremacist view while others rebut it (sounds like a healthy intellectual exercise to me) ... so the school
- Orders him to submit a report about his actions
- Without waiting for the report, cancels his position as head of the journal
- Cancels funding for the journal
- Cancels the center that the journal was associated with
... and then, when he sues, claims his assertions are "baseless" and that the university didn't take any adverse action against him.
You want cognitive dissonance? I give you ... cognitive dissonance.

"The defendants have formally notified the court of appeals that we are appealing the district court’s decision to deny our motion to dismiss," a spokesperson for the school said. "Dr. Jackson’s faculty colleagues have not harmed him in any way, and federal court is not the place to try the plaintiff’s baseless allegations against them. Further, neither the Board of Regents nor the university have taken any adverse action against Dr. Jackson."
So they have taken action against him, but not any adverse action. Sounds like they are saying they have done stuff aimed at him, but none of it actually hurt him so please dismiss the suit.

That does appear to be their argument. Apparently that university must not have an English Department:

adverse adjective
ad·verse | \ ad-ˈvərs

Essential Meaning of adverse
: bad or unfavorable : not good adverse criticism/remarks He had an adverse reaction to the medicine. [=he reacted badly to the medicine; the medicine had a bad effect on him] See More Examples

2a : opposed to one's interests an adverse verdict heard testimony adverse to their position especially : unfavorable adverse criticism

Well, my point was that, as I read the definition, the university's actions very much were "adverse" to the professor. Doing things that meet the definition in multiple ways while claiming the opposite hopefully won't get them far in court.

And now physical fitness
The intersection of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body, training, masculinity, testosterone, strength and competition. Physical fitness training, especially in combat sports, appeals to the far right for many reasons: fighters are trained to accept significant physical pain, to be “warriors,” and to embrace messaging around solidarity, heroism, and brotherhood. It’s championed as a tool to help fight the “coming race war” and the street battles that will precede it. Recruits are encouraged to link individual moral virtues such as willpower, decisiveness and courage, with desired collective traits such as virility and manliness. This also works in reverse, with white supremacists encouraging potential recruits or activists to stay in good physical shape as a way of managing self-presentation to the public. The neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin advised his followers that “fat people” should be required to commit to losing weight if they are to stay involved with groups or in-person gatherings, noting that “continued obesity should not be tolerated.”
Physical fitness has always been central to the far right. In “Mein Kampf,” Hitler fixated on boxing and jujitsu, believing they could help him create an army of millions whose aggressive spirit and impeccably trained bodies, combined with “fanatical love of the fatherland,” would do more for the German nation than any “mediocre” tactical weapons training.

BMI is now racist and was designed for white European men.
My complaint with BMI has always been that it stuffs everyone into one box, and will generally, if not favoring lighter framed individuals, will penalize larger framed, muscular individuals. But no, it only favors white European males. ;/

Earlier than that - my Dad told me during WW2 basic training they had an unarmed combat instructor who was well versed in karate, so that was in the early '40s. (Don't know how they represented it since there was still a prevailing mindset that the Japs were all sneaky nearsighted idiots with buck teeth. Combat changed a lot of minds in a hurry.)

According to the BMI they want me to be an emaciated beanpole.
I lost around 25lbs during hospitalization. That put me into the middle of "normal" BMI weight. When a friend came over to visit me she started to cry I looked so emaciated.

Theodore Roosevelt practiced jiu jitsu. And he was not the first one. There was also bartitsu, a mixed martial arts system developed by a Englishman named E.W. Barton-Wright, that combined judo, boxing, canne de combat, savate and Swiss wrestling. This was in 1898. But the real popularity began with returning servicemen after WW2, and it really picked up in the 60s and 70s.

. . . The neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin advised his followers that “fat people” should be required to commit to losing weight if they are to stay involved with groups or in-person gatherings, noting that “continued obesity should not be tolerated.”. . .
. . . Physical fitness has always been central to the far right. (National SOCIALISTS were not far right!) In “Mein Kampf,” Hitler fixated on boxing and jujitsu, believing they could help him create an army of millions whose aggressive spirit and impeccably trained bodies, combined with “fanatical love of the fatherland,” would do more for the German nation than any “mediocre” tactical weapons training.
And of course, Nazi leaders led by example, as you can see from this high-ranking lean, mean, fighting machine. (That's Hermann Goering, by the way.)

Making fun of Kamala's outfit
All of a sudden, the Kamala tweet was being re-framed as racist and dozens of Twitter accounts were bragging about contacting my employers about my “bigotry.”
They told me that the tweet I sent about Kamala was “racist” and that subsequent follow-ups defending myself and making fun of the efforts to cancel me were unacceptable. I had violated the company’s social media policy, they said, and I was terminated effective immediately.

I didn't see what the joke was. Meanwhile:
Despite multiple appeals, during which company officials admitted that the perception of racism was more important than whether or not my tweet was actually racist, the company has refused to reverse its decision. Meanwhile, my image and bio is still being used on the WMAL website and social media channels to promote their programming. I am racist enough not to be paid, but not so racist that my likeness cannot be affiliated with the station, apparently.

I didn't see what the joke was. Meanwhile:
About a month ago today, I posted a tweet during the State of the Union address poking fun at Vice President Kamala Harris’s outfit. Harris wore a chocolate brown business suit that was panned on social media — some users compared her to a Hershey’s chocolate bar, while others wondered why she wore the same color as her chair. I went for a UPS joke, featuring the company’s now retired slogan:
“Kamala looks like a UPS employee — what can brown do for you? Nothing good, apparently.”

I thought Harris's racial affiliation was Buffoon-American.

No surprise. Late to the game, but I've been poking around Reddit of late, and their "moderators" don't appear to be any better than the Twitter nitwits.
As an example, I went to the Reddit thread on "Resident Alien" to see if others, like me, were feeling that Season 2 went woke. I read posts from one of their moderators or reditors or whatever they're called boasting / complaining about the work involved banning something like "50 bigots in the past week" who had complained about one of the episodes being over the top woke.
"Free speech" as long as it aligns with the woke jerks that work at Reddit.

The word obesity and "weight-based approaches to health.
A dietitian at the University of Illinois Chicago is pushing for the word “obesity” to be removed from public health discourse.
Montgomery’s first complaint against the current “weight-based approaches to health” is that focusing on body size is rooted in racism. “Around 81 percent of societies historically have favored people in larger bodies,” she claims, citing research. “Larger bodies signified wealth and prosperity while thinness signified poverty and weakness. However, this began to change due to racism and eugenics

Nature is racist now
While this may be a relatively new phenomenon within the modern far-right, white supremacy has deep roots in the U.S. wilderness and recreation movement, which long excluded people of color from its national parks and green spaces. And that history has made America’s national parks attractive destinations for white-rights activists trying to stake their claim to the land.

The phase "Your community"
If Chick-fil-A uses it
On September 9, the fast-food company responded to a user querying when the chain will add spicy chicken nuggets to its menus
'Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!' Chick-fil-A wrote
The chain was immediately hit with a flood of tweets, accusing it of being racist, and with users asking whether it was referring to the black community
A Chick-fil-A spokesperson said the response was 'a poor choice of words' and was meant to refer to the areas the chain serves
Other Twitter users discovered the company has used the phrasing multiple times in the last two weeks

(CARB) stated that the state is considering new regulations to ban the sale of all diesel semi-trucks by 2040 to fight climate change and to amend a history of “racist” practice.

If it's because of the old racist zoning laws it seems like it would be easier to just forcibly relocate some folks. Have the .gov seize 30% or so of the houses in Malibu and Beverly hills and move some families from Compton in. Problem solved. All those good little white lefties would cheer the equity from their new porches in South LA, right?

They always seem to find a way to bypass the liberal rich conclaves and hit the "rich" middle class with those plans instead.
I still recall my Junior High school years. My immigrant parents worked hard for years to move us into a house in a good part of town with good schools. Three years later, when I started Junior High, they had instituted school bussing (Hi Kamala!) and instead of going to the school my parents worked hard to put me in, I was bussed to a school in the worst part of town, and spent three years (along with most of the other bussed kids) getting beat up by up and coming gang banger gangs (they never fought one on one). Probably the most hated three school years of my young life. I would have been better off if my parents had just stayed in the run down part of town and had gone to that Junior High. But hey, diversity and equality, amiright?

The lottery
A Wednesday CNN piece spoke with critics knocking the lottery system as a form of systemic racism that targets poor Black and Brown communities across America.
Researches told CNN that despite the extreme low chance of winning, state lotteries still aggressively market the lottery and sell tickets to low-income communities at higher rates, thus misleading Americans to believe it will help them quickly generate wealth.
POWERBALL JACKPOT: LUMP SUM OR ANNUITY PROJECTION PRODUCES SURPRISING RESULT
People wait in line to buy their Mega Millions lottery tickets at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Chino Hills, California, July 28, 2022.
"These communities are disproportionately made up of Black and Brown people. Critics say the consequence is that marginalized people will be driven into deeper debt by a system that is transferring wealth out of their communities," CNN’s Nicquel Terry Ellis and Justin Gamble wrote.
Of course if those communities are buying more tickets aren't the odds of someone in those communities winning higher? Hmm?

CPR mannequins
Mannequins used to practice life-saving CPR aren't diverse enough, doctors have claimed.
Researchers want to ditch the reliance on default 'lean white male' models.
Doing so will help overcome 'bias' among bystanders and help improve the survival of other groups, they say.
This, the team claim, would be done by 'changing the perception of sudden cardiac death' — meaning people recognise it doesn't just happen to white men.

Daylight Saving Time effects POCs the most
As the United States rolled back the clocks one hour this month to observe the end of Daylight Saving Time, many people got a bit more sleep than usual – but some not as much as others.
Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in Black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities, and these inequities can have long-term detrimental implications for physical health, even raising the risk of certain chronic diseases.
Meanwhile, Daylight Saving Time itself – enacted in the US to reduce electricity usage by extending daylight hours – has long been controversial in the United States.

Shark Week has too many white men
[Allegheny College biology professor Lisa] Whitenack led a team of researchers to examine hundreds of “Shark Week” episodes that aired between 1988 and 2020. In a study published last month by the Public Library of Science, their research claims that Discovery’s programming emphasized negative messages about sharks, lacked useful messaging about shark conservation and overwhelmingly featured White men as experts — including several with the same name.
The programming featured more White experts and commentators named “Mike” than women, said David Shiffman, a conservationist at Arizona State University who was a co-author of the stud

What I remember from grammar school art class is that white is comprised all ALL the colors, whereas black is the absence of any color. So, unless my grammar school teachers were lying to us, it would seem more logical for whites to play blue people than for blacks to play blue people.
And if black is the absence of color ... how are blacks "people of color"? Shouldn't blacks be "people of no color"?

Brown is actually a dark yellow. Many people of European ancestry would be considered pink, making them light redskins. (Until they spend some time in the sun.) Albinos would be an extremely light shade of pink, and I don't think they tan very well.

Apple watches
New York man filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple on Dec. 24, alleging that the Apple Watch's blood oximeter has a "racial bias" against individuals with darker skin tones.
The Blood Oxygen app is available on Apple Watch Series 6 and newer and can "measure the oxygen level of your blood on-demand directly from your wrist, providing you with insights into your overall wellness," Apple explains.
New York resident Alex Morales alleges that he purchased an Apple Watch between 2020 and 2021, and was aware that the watch "purported to measure blood oxygen levels and he believed it did this without regard to skin tone," according to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Southern District of New York.
Without knowing more my guess is in reality it's just harder to get an "accurate" reading with darker skin tone so racism!

Washington Post discovers that there was slavery in the US
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2022/12/28/washington-post-discovers-that-there-was-slavery-in-the-us-n520326
I stumbled upon the existence of this series by running across a deeply reported investigation of the artwork in the Capitol. In a stunning revelation, the author exposed that many of the artworks displayed at the capitol include depictions of slaveholders, or as she calls them “enslavers.”
The word “enslaver” shows up 98 times in the story, which must be some sort of record. This must be the new politically correct term for slaveholder.
"Enslaver," because the Left is obsessed with changing terminology. And in this case, inaccurately. The majority of US slave-holders purchased (or inherited) already-enslaved people. Even if they got them fresh off the boat, the boat was usually coming from the West Indies, with a load of "seasoned" (previously enslaved) people. They certainly weren't (in most cases) going to Africa to slap chains on people.

False. Slavery was invented by Christopher Columbus, and only white people have ever enslaved anyone. Famous enslavers include Abraham Lincoln, William Lloyd Garrison, Sarah Grimke, William Wilberforce, Elijah Lovejoy, Clarence Thomas, and Mitt Romney.

I think that is the biggest problem. The woman should have just said that recommending this product helps a black owned business and if they only wanted black people to use it, they wouldn't have made it good for "all hair types". Add in that they will continue to support black owned businesses (or POC owned) that make good products. I am sure there is a way to say it to fit her audience. More than likely, few if any of these angry people represent the actual audience for her videos.
That said, I have heard these influencers that have a decent size following can pull in some really huge sums for advertising or highlighting products. I imagine someone not expecting a controversy can panic for fear of bad press destroying their income.

And I suppose the spectacle of (mostly) black men competing in an athletic contest in front of a largely white audience means the NBA is racist as well.
Of course the success of Venus and Serena Williams means tennis - watched by a lot of white people - is also racist.
And don't even get me started about white fans of Tiger Woods.

Ironically, several years ago I decided football was racist because of the BLM aspect so I quit watching it. I may be guilty of being super double racist because I think what is essentially a mandatory protest is too woke for me, I don't know what those rules are. Maybe the rules say I should watch it anyway but feel guilty that I am exploiting the players that only earn a paltry few million a year and have to work weekends.

Space is racist
A Colorado astrophysicist has claimed her field is steeped in white supremacy and sexism because 'hypermasculine' and 'violent' language is used to describe stars.
Natalie Gosnell, an assistant professor at Colorado College, takes an unconventional approach to physics by comparing stars with humans to turn science into an art.
In an interview with the college newspaper she claimed she has struggled to overcome a division between art and science that is rooted in 'systemic racism.'
As an astrophysicist, I am a product of institutions steeped in systemic racism and white supremacy,' she said.
The way in which stars burn through their fuel and die is viewed through a 'hypermasculine' lens and the metaphors used are often 'very violent,' she claimed.
I feel dumber just reading that.

Ski bums.
Previously I did not know that the elite guild that controls
access to the profession of ski bum was discriminatory, but I have been educated and now I understand that even being voluntarily poor is out of reach for all people but white people.
You really have to give those white people credit. They are so much better at everything, even being bums. It's really amazing how they can control every aspect of the economy, including not participating in it.
https://www.skimag.com/culture/opinion-stop-celebrating-the-white-male-ski-bum/
Now if you wrote an article about how skiing is expensive and not accessible to poor people, I would agree with that and everyone knows that already.

https://www.skimag.com/culture/opinion-stop-celebrating-the-white-male-ski-bum/
Let's see - this POC hasn't been able to participate in skiing the way she wants because she went on a protest march instead of a ski vacation, she used her ski savings to bail out an acquaintance who'd been arrested, she helped fund a cousin who'd been incarcerated, she helped another cousin rent an apartment, her mother shook her down to fund a cousin's house in Jamaica, she's afraid of the consequences should she be caught trespassing, she may not find a good job in ski country, and she's afraid people - WHITE people - won't like her. There seems to be a bit of a common thread running through her excuses.

As an amazin caucazin, I'm glad I never have Other Things get in the way of fulfilling my dreams. I'm glad we supremely white people never feel the need to sacrifice our whims and wishes, because we have to instead get involved in political activism to protect our lives and liberty. Or because we have to fight a civil war that benefits other people. Nothing like that, thank goodness.
I think the closest I've ever gotten to skiing was the one time I was invited on a ski trip. I was a working college student, and ended up at some hip, urban church, for the hip and urban (not that kind of urban). And obviously more well-heeled than I was. Since I'm white, of course, I felt not the least bit out of place. We're all the same, of course.

Taxes
A recent study by the Tax Policy Center, for example, found that Black couples on average face higher tax costs associated with marriage than White couples. It is part of a growing body of research that shows the tax code can create or reinforce economic disparities between Black households and White households.
The TPC study comes after the US Treasury released details on how to impute race and ethnicity on to tax data — an effort made in response to an executive order from President Joe Biden directing government agencies to better measure and advance racial equity.
However, there is “no easy solution to the racial disparities in the tax treatment of marriage in a tax code that doesn’t explicitly refer to race,” the TPC authors noted in a blog post.
Wondering how they "impute" race and ethnicity on to tax data
Black couples pay a higher tax penalty for marriage than White couples. Here’s why
https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/success/taxes-racial-inequity-married-couples/index.html
-
So reading that link, there is no actual penalty. It is only a result of the average family income and size and the actual tax codes have no racial component. I would be curious if by the raw numbers of black/white families show more actual white families are affected, but as a percentage it skews toward black families.
It seems to me that the tax code could get really screwed up if they started chasing these statistics with the tax code. I guess that is probably the point.
The best solution is to just ban the income tax and eliminate the 16th amendment.

White people denying that they’re racist is literal violence because all white people are racist . . .
What they're trying to do is set the stage to justify their initiation of physical violence as self defense.
Deny you're racist, that's literal violence, and I can punch or kick you in self defense.
Admit you're racist, and that's so horrible I can punch or kick you, because you deserve it. Oh, and it's self defense, too.
They haven't quite managed to figure out that when they initiate actual physical violence (as recognized by most sane people) there's a good chance they'll get a whole lot more back in return than they're comfortable with.

https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2023/02/21/white-women-advised-that-denying-their-own-racism-is-violent/
OK, assuming this also applies to white dudes, I'll just deny I'm white, and identify as race-neutral.

Case in point?
Mother of two fatally shot in the back of the head during Kroger supermarket argument SPAT on the suspect seconds before incident in front of children, says police chief
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11777309/Woman-fatally-shot-head-Kroger-supermarket-argument-SPAT-suspect.html
It's a poorly-written article. Who initiated contact? It looks like the "victim" Borys started it. (if Harrison approached Borys at Borys' car, why would B be walking away after spitting on H?) I think she got what she was asking for, (not what she deserved; that would just be a beating) and the rest of the article tries to paint her as some kind of angel. I don't have much sympathy for anyone but the kids and the husband.
The lesson here? Don't start an argument with someone and spit on them.

Just dropping this here
As we celebrate a Black History Month like no other, people are now faced with the reality that in places like Florida, books that discuss Black history or even mention Black people are now illegal.
Doing his best impression of a white segregationist from the 1950s South, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a war on books that may cause white tears — topics such as race, gender, sexuality, LGBTQ+ people, class, oppression and social justice. Under Florida’s Stop Woke Act, teachers cannot discuss these topics in class under the threat of felony charges, forcing them to remove books on these subjects.

“zip-a-dee-doo-dah”
Disneyland has removed the “zip-a-dee-doo-dah” lyric played during its park parades because it comes from a movie that has been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans.
The lyric initially appeared in the “Magic Happens” parade when it debuted in March 2020. The parade recently returned after a nearly three-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Upon its re-introduction last month, spectators of the twice-daily parade, described as “celebrating magical moments from legendary Disney stories” on its website, now hear the lyric — “think of the happiest things” from “Peter Pan”— in its place.

An actor who just wants to be known as an actor and not as a black actor
Idris Elba has hit back after facing mass criticism last month for revealing that he no longer describes himself as a 'black actor'.
The Luther star, 50, who is of Ghanaian and Sierra Leone Creole heritage, sparked a social media backlash when he detailed how he thought the 'black actor' label put him in a 'box', and that an 'obsession' with race can hinder aspirations and growth.
He told Esquire: 'We’ve got to grow. We’ve got to. Our skin is no more than that: it’s just skin. Rant over.'
He added: ''Racism is very real. But from my perspective, it’s only as powerful as you allow it to be.
Now the actor has doubled down on his remarks in a new interview with the Guardian, slamming fans who accused him of 'denying his blackness' with his controversial comments.

'Let's be clear what anti-woke means. It's anti-black,' Li, who served on the Asian American outreach team for President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign, said.
'And I think people are very reluctant to say it, but I don't mince any words, and that's the truth.
'That's their way of, you know, sounding the dog whistle without being extremely explicit,' she added.

White adoptive parents
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kapernick accused his adoptive parents of "perpetuating racism" in an interview that aired Thursday.
Kaepernick talked about coming to terms with his racial identity while growing up in a White family in his new graphic novel, "Change the Game." The former football player recalled disagreements with his parents that he attributed to racism, calling his upbringing "problematic."
"I know my parents loved me. But there were still very problematic things that I went through," the biracial quarterback said to CBS News.

The movie Zulu
Also note LOTRs is on the list
His film was featured among texts attacked by a British government study on content associated with far-right extremism. The "Prevent" program has also reportedly flagged the complete works of Shakespeare, "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien and the "Great British Railway Journeys" documentary series as works that could lead viewers toward right-wing extremism.
The Daily Mail noted that "Zulu" in particular "had been listed as a 'key text' for 'white nationalists' and 'supremacists' by the Government's beleaguered anti-terrorism Prevent scheme."
Despite this bit of sanity
The Daily Mail added that actual living Zulu royalty has defended the film as well, as the "leader of the Zulu tribe Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, now 94, who played own his great-grandfather King Cetshwayo in the film, said it should not be viewed through a 21st-century lens."
"Even if the past is uncomfortable, and perhaps especially when the past is uncomfortable, it needs to be examined and unpacked rather than hidden away. Of course race is a central theme in the film," he reportedly told British newspaper The Times.

"Shakespeare’s work, the collection argues, was central to the construction of whiteness as a racial category during the Renaissance, and white people, in turn, have used Shakespeare to regulate social hierarchies ever since." https://t.co/1a1I0B9H4d

Coffee. If you're white that is.
And in case you were thinking the below is from The Babylon Bee it's not, they're actually serious.
Created by Black people for Black people—and now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism. If you consume coffee, you are helping an industry built on racism.
If you’re a person of color, you know what I’m talking about. You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens. The white hipster barista lines herself up between you and the bathrooms, ready to tell you non-customers aren’t welcome.
If you have a white coffee drinking friend, he or she may have even let you in on the old coffee joke white coffee drinkers share when PoC aren’t around: “there are three things that are necessary in order to make a cup of coffee, and they are: first, a black man to roast the coffee; second, a yellow man to grind it; and third, a white man to drink it.”
Well, I’m here to validate your lived experience; coffee is in fact horribly racist, and there’s data to back it up.

For one thing, that "joke" is not the least bit amusing, even if it were half as verbose. And what does it even mean? Who even thinks about the race of the people who roast or grind coffee beans? In America, at any rate, Juan Valdez is the "ethnic" that comes to mind, and he ain't black or yellow. At any rate, he only picks the beans.
Just a big fail, all around.
-
I've been a coffee drinker for decades and I never heard that joke before this thread. When I was on the Big Island of Hawaii I toured a Kona coffee operation and didn't see any black, brown, or yellow people working there, picking, roasting, or packaging the coffee. Unless what may have been native Hawaiians working alongside the white devils count as some other color?

White people don't season their food? Like you said, are they actually that stupid or are they just trolling?
Ancient Greeks and Romans used and were familiar with salt, garlic, pepper, cassia, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, thyme, coriander, mint, marjoram, and silphium, just to name a few. (silphium isn't easily found now.) All these and more are used today.
Hmmm . . . what about all the white people who keep a lot of seasonings they use to cook with in their well-organized pantries?

I never put extra salt on my food, usually it's more than salty enough as is. The black stuff, pepper, on the other hand i use quite a bit.

Ancient Greeks and Romans used and were familiar with salt, garlic, pepper, cassia, cinnamon, ginger, saffron, thyme, coriander, mint, marjoram, and silphium, just to name a few. (silphium isn't easily found now.) All these and more are used today.
Hmmm . . . what about all the white people who keep a lot of seasonings they use to cook with in their well-organized pantries?
Racist cultural appropriation.
-
I thought seasoning was racist because we came up with a whole colonial oppression scheme to secure the spice trade then didn’t use any.
They might have us on the sugar in coffee thing, industrial sugar ruined the Caribbean.
-
I hate to say this for the simple reason that I believe actual racism is wrong. But here goes: As this thread seems to show, what I do from the time I open my eyes in the morning to when I fall asleep at night* has been redefined as racist. Unless somebody can tell me of one action that a typical white person does that is not racist, I'm going to stop worrying about it.
* maybe while I'm asleep as well?
-
* maybe while I'm asleep as well?
If there's even one POC not asleep while you're asleep it's racist for you to be getting sleep while they're not.

I'm pleasantly surprised Republicans aren't taking the bait on this. No one should be condemning or denouncing something that died a long time ago, and has no hope of coming back. We certainly shouldn't be pushing the lie that the Democrat's Great Replacement strategy is all in our racist heads. ;/
Pleasant surprise # 3, a corporate media rag actually quoting a black and a Hispanic Republican on why they didn't sign. Funny how they didn't point out the ethnicity of the people they were quoting.

Police dogs
The California Assembly's Public Safety Committee has approved a bill that would ban the use of police dogs for arrests, apprehensions and crowd control, apparently a first-in-the-country measure. The authors of the bill cited the need for the removal of police dogs due to racial bias and violence against Black Americans and people of color.
Assembly Bill 742 seeks to ban the use of police dogs for arrest, apprehensions or any form of crowd control.

With a disarmed police force, they really couldn't work as a security detail and protect the Antifa/BLM/Gang hooligans now, could they? (Paging rooftop Koreans . . . paging rooftop Koreans)
-
A disarmed police force would only be cable to enforcing the law against compliant people. They would just be glorified tax collectors and ticket writers. They could only intimidate people who allowed it. Kind of like the old Death Wish movies where cops were more than happy to seize guns from law abiding citizens but wouldn't touch the gang members threatening them.
On top of that, we would see gangs looking to attack police in groups....intimidate them at the very least. I don't care how well trained a cop is, if 20 gang members attack as a group, the cop is not going to come out well.
That said, even if the street cops were disarmed, the police would keep a core of armed officers and SWAT teams to protect the politicians and take care of anyone they perceived as a vigilante.

A Mississippi morning news anchor appears to be out of a job after saying a popular Snoop Dogg phrase on air earlier this month.
Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle,” when the idea of a Snoop collaboration with a newsroom journalist was raised.
“Nizzle” is slang for the N-word. Bassett, who is white, also tweeted the phrase in 2011.
I didn't know that and I would bet good money neither did she.
But it's okay when Snoop Dogg says it.

Black people give themselves a pass on the exclusive right to use the 'N' word.
More than 20 years ago, when the guy who now owns the range where I shoot still had a small gun shop in the city, he told the story of a particular handgun. As he related it:
One day a young gentleman of color came into the store wanting to buy a box of 9mm ammunition. My guy sold him a box of 9mm ammunition, and the young man left. Later in the day the young man came back, and said that my friend had sold him the wrong ammo. Owner asked what kind of gun. The kid said it was a Beretta, and he pulled a Beretta out of his belt.
Shop owner popped the magazine and tried to load the magazine, but the ammo wouldn't go in. Owner picked up the gun, and on the side he saw "8mm" -- from which he was able to figure out that this young gentlemen of color had bought an Italian blank-firing replica of a Beretta, thinking that he was getting the real thing. The kid left the store. [But that's not the end.]
Several days later two young gentleman of color came into the store and one of them asked for a box of 9mm ammunition. My guy sold him a box of 9mm ammunition, and the young men left. Later in the day the young men came back, and the buyer said that my friend had sold him the wrong ammo. Owner asked what kind of gun. The kid said it was a Beretta, and he pulled a Beretta out of his belt.
Owner said, "We've done this before," and proceeded to show the yoot that the rollmark on the side of the gun said "8mm," not "9mm." The second young gentleman [of color] started razzing the now not-so-proud owner of the "Beretta," calling him "You dumb [N-word]. You paid good money for a toy gun."
Owner says, "Hey, cut that out, You can't call him that!"
The second yoot responded, "Sure I can. YOU can't call him a dumb [N-word], but I can."

Racism pays especially when you're faking data
A criminology professor at Florida State University suddenly left his $190,000-a-year position after being accused of fudging data to make racism seem more common.
Eric Stewart has had six of his studies - one of which dates as far back as 2006 - retracted amid allegations that he fabricated data by altering sample sizes.
Stewart has denied such criticisms but after the sixth incident in 2020 an FSU committee reconvened to address his record and findings.
Since last month, the professor has been absent, perhaps marking the end of his 16-year career at the school and a years-long investigation into his academic malpractice, the Florida Standard reported.

If you don't like body odor or bad smells in general.
Bizarre new research claims that people with a sensitive nose for disgusting smells are more likely to be xenophobic.
In a study across nine countries, scientists have linked a repulsion to sweat, bad breath and smelly feet with heightened disliking for refugees.
Steering clear of stenches is a natural mechanism that helps us avoid illnesses, experts at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm explain.
But when working into overdrive, this may trigger hostility towards refugees who are perceived to have 'dissimilar' hygiene and food habits.
'Individuals more easily disgusted by body odours are also more prone to having negative attitudes towards refugees,' the scientists wrote.

He's right that the true driver of our road death problem is road design, as well as federal efficiency standards. I still don't get why either one disproportionately impacts POC.

He's right that the true driver of our road death problem is road design, as well as federal efficiency standards. I still don't get why either one disproportionately impacts POC.
Are our roads particularly unsafe? Seems that when I have traveled internationally I saw a lot of what I took to be much more dangerous roads in countries with much lower deaths per population or deaths per vehicle.
What should be changed about our roads to improve safety? Obviously reducing speed would increase survivability, but given the size of our nation and the fact that we like to spread out, I don’t think people would like to double their commutes and travel time.
To steel man the opposition, it would be easy to believe that older and less well developed infrastructure is more common in poor areas. Since (some) minorities are heavily represented in poor areas, if it is true that older and less safe road design is the cause of increased fatalities, perhaps that is the connection they are trying to make.

Are our roads particularly unsafe?
Yes, our roads are particularly unsafe.
Seems that when I have traveled internationally I saw a lot of what I took to be much more dangerous roads in countries with much lower deaths per population or deaths per vehicle.
Isn't this a contradiction? The roads are safer by all metrics, but you "took them as more dangerous"? What does that mean except maybe you are a poor judge of what makes roads dangerous (most people are)?
What should be changed about our roads to improve safety?
Simply implement current best practices in road design and stop building to 1960s standards in 2023.
Obviously reducing speed would increase survivability, but given the size of our nation and the fact that we like to spread out, I don’t think people would like to double their commutes and travel time.
There is a lot, lot more than speed. It's possible to have roads that are both slow AND dangerous, which is often what we currently have. But assume for a moment that we can make our roads safer by reducing speeds (it's not that simple). Why not do that?
Are the tens of thousands of deaths and tens of thousands more maimings that happen on our road routinely, not to mention the millions of dollars in ruined hardware, is worth it if you get there slightly faster (if you survive that is)?
This attitude fits the behavior pattern we see daily on the road, where it's OK to violently threaten others with death or mutilation, not for money or power, but usually simply to avoid having to wait a few seconds. Just stand on my neighborhood road any given morning and watch school kids trying to get to school.
Some people say that guns turn people violent and I think it's wrong and baseless. If they said it about cars, I would believe it and you could probably prove it.
In reality most road safety improvements have nominal impact on travel times or even improve travel times, so this is a strawman anyway.
To steel man the opposition, it would be easy to believe that older and less well developed infrastructure is more common in poor areas. Since (some) minorities are heavily represented in poor areas, if it is true that older and less safe road design is the cause of increased fatalities, perhaps that is the connection they are trying to make.
The racist roads argument is usually more straightforward... during postwar misguided urban renewal frenzies, the road-building grift decided we needed to build freeways everywhere until our whole environment looked like roads (they continued this philosophy more or less in many places). When they stole the land needed to build these roads, guess where they stole ot from...the rich white areas or the poor black ones? No need to guess, and this isn't a conspiracy or a theoretical. Over a million people had their homes bulldozed to make way for roads, most of them unneeded and just make traffic worse anyway. Unlike a lot of bogus claims of racism the roads one stands as pretty legitimate. It's important to realize that a version of this happened in every country and the key difference being who got bulldozed, and also which countries realized it was a dumb idea and stopped, reversed course, or went broke, and which one(s) decided to keep doubling down.

5.2 deaths per 100,000 people

United States

16.1 deaths per 100,000 vehicles
45,000 deaths per million km.
What's that, about 13 times more dead people per km in the US than in Italy.
Given these figures, do you think the US (Canada is just as bad) would think about maybe learning something from them and doing something smarter? Probably not. We haven't even figured out that dedicated turn signals are a good idea.
US road design follows a pattern that is becoming familiar in post-peak, declining-period of the republic:
1. Invent something or steal and vastly improve it (i.e. automobile, air travel, the transistor...)
2. Achieve a position of world leadership and technological dominance
3. Give away all of it China, allow MBAs to value - engineer it to irrelevance, or allow the industrial - government complex to ossify it into an overlapping tapestry of grift -- sort of an American version of the keiretsu system, but with negative feedback instead of positive
4. When rest of the world moves on and continues to innovate and execute, refuse to steal back their ideas purely to avoid admitting failure; simultaneously torture the facts to try to paper over the gaping and growing holes.

What's that, about 13 times more dead people per km in the US than in Italy.
I blame the NRA

Isn't this a contradiction? The roads are safer by all metrics, but you "took them as more dangerous"? What does that mean except maybe you are a poor judge of what makes roads dangerous (most people are)?
Sure, that could be. Or it could be that we have a lot of really sucky drivers. Or the low-quality roads in other countries force people to drive more slowly which does save lives. Could be a lot of things.
But assume for a moment that we can make our roads safer by reducing speeds (it's not that simple). Why not do that?
Because the US is big. I understand that some people really love the idea of forcing everyone into very small urban areas for maximum efficiency but the ability to more quickly cover longer distances allows people to live in a larger area and enjoy more of the country.
In reality most road safety improvements have nominal impact on travel times or even improve travel times, so this is a strawman anyway.
Not trying to make a strawman argument. With the exception of mixing non-motorized and motorized traffic and the possible exception of edge cases (heh) like mountain switchbacks, speed is often the biggest determinant of the severity of an accident.

Because the US is big
Sigh not this again.
The vast majority of car trips are only a few miles. The supposed vast distances are therefore mostly irrelevant to the statistics or even contradictory...a supposedly vast and sparse country should result in fewer deaths per km, not vastly more. How are these Americans finding 13 times more people per km in their supposedly sparsely populated mythical land?
Most of the deaths aren't coming from the freeways. US freeway design is pretty good, deaths per mile on our freeways is moderate and US sort of set the standard for freeway design. On top of that US freeway speed limits are not typically higher and many countries have equal or higher speed limits to the US (the Autobahn being a famous example but 130kph/80mph has been normal on global freeways for a long time even when US freeways were more often 70 or 75). Speed is only a small part of the equation. Most of the people dying in the US are not dying on freeways but on other roads at moderate speeds with egregiously bad designs. This comes from failure to follow the pareto principle and common sense, which would suggest figuring out where people are dying and fixing those problems. But nobody in the US is doing that because there is no transportation engineering happening in the US, basically. Just a highly tuned system for siphoning public money with roads as a byproduct/excuse. People will sit back and debate reducing a speed limit from 35mph to 30mph. It won't make a big difference when Becky plows over a kid she didn't even see. A tragic accident, just another isolated incident, if only there were something we could do.

So you've never driven in Italy. =)
I've driven in Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, and Italy. Italy was by far the worst. I had to run my Cousin's Golf off the road and up a hill so we wouldn't be killed by a truck. Many more close calls that I was told was, "just how it is here". Those people are nuts.

It's far less about the design of the infrastructure than it is about the training, skills and mindset of the people that are using it.
Distracted driving, chemically impaired and fatigued driving, excessive speed for conditions including road design and traffic density and a general lack of driving skills coupled with a lack of give a damn are IMNHO are the biggest contributors to our high rate of death and injury on the roads.
-
Distracted driving
Definitely a danger in any country. Do you think this is worse in the US? Why? What could we do to reduce it?
Chemically impaired and fatigued driving
Definitely factors in any country. Do you think it's worse in the US? Why? As you know, US has quite strict laws on alcohol impaired driving already.
Excessive speed for conditions including road design
Yes, you got to road design, but it should have been first, because it is the common factor to all the others. You found the real reason for the differences:road design. You can't change human nature, but you can design to it.
Or you can not, and just let the bloodbath continue and blame the drivers as if it saves anyone.
-
just let the bloodbath continue and blame the drivers as if it saves anyone.
Sure, let's just take personal responsibility completely out of the equation. :facepalm:
Back to road design, sure our roads aren't perfect, they never will be but if 16 year old Joe Dumbass is breaking 100 Mph on a state highway that is perfectly safe at 65 Mph do you blame poor road design or Joe Dumbass?
Our required driver training is abysmally lacking. As are the repercussions for repeat offenders of both impaired driving and just plain old careless/reckless driving.
Hold offenders accountable for dangerous acts to the point that A: It hurts them financially and B: Is a deterrent to others.
How often do we see people getting busted for their 7th, 8th, 9th DUI? If we shut them down HARD on the 2nd one might slow them down. Take away their vehicle, make it a felony for them to operate any vehicle for an extended period of time, sober or not.
Same for reckless and dangerous driving. 2nd time you get caught engaging in monumental stupidity behind the wheel on public streets you lose your driving privileges for an extended period of time and your vehicle is seized, not impounded.
-
Sure, let's just take personal responsibility completely out of the equation. :facepalm:
Please elaborate what you mean by personal responsibility. The only angle I can see on this axis is to enforce traffic violations more harshly. Basically charge people with manslaughter and murder more often. Maybe this would help a little bit, I'm not sure. Improving road design is already proven to help. Why one or the other? Yhe number of deaths based on intersection parameters is already known basically. Why not do both?
Back to road design, sure our roads aren't perfect, they never will be
Yes but they can be better. It's possible for things to be better or worse, you know. And it's usually easier to do things poorly or make them worse than to do them well or make them better.
If 16 year old Joe Dumbass is breaking 100 Mph on a state highway that is perfectly safe at 65 Mph do you blame poor road design or Joe Dumbass?
Joe dumass of course, but blaming Joe doesn't save anyone. The best that can be done is removing Joe from the road preemptively or mitigating the damage Joe can do. I still don't understand why you wouldn't also make better roads, or why the presence of Joes is a demotivator to improving the roads rather than being neutral or a motivator.
B: Is a deterrent to others.
Citation needed. I think people are pretty stupid and aren't thinking about speeding fines or legal penalties because they aren't planning to get in an accident and they think they are better drivers than everyone else, etc. Etc. I would want to see data that higher penalties can really overcome human nature. And even if they can, good road design that accommodates human nature is still a smarter solution.
how often do we see people getting busted for their 7th, 8th, 9th DUI? If we shut them down HARD on the 2nd one might slow them down. Take away their vehicle, make it a felony for them to operate any vehicle for an extended period of time, sober or not.

I would get behind all of these, except why the second offense? Why should one time be ok...my forklift driver got his cert revoked after only one failed drug test. Why do forklift drivers need to be regularly drug tested, recertified every two years, and zero tolerance, but we give drivers a pass? So yeah, crank down those penalties and requirements. Maybe a small subset of crashes can be reduced. But If the roads are still designed to crash cars into each other systematically, why not fix that too?
-
But If the roads are still designed to crash cars into each other systematically, why not fix that too?
In the first place your premise is flawed. Our roads are NOT designed to crash cars into each other systematically. Of course they are far from perfect and ins some cases pretty FUBAR and I am not saying we shouldn't fix problems. I fully support improvement but you cannot make anything, roads included, idiot/ahole proof. Every time you try they just come up with a "better" idiot.
By personal responsibility, yes I mean drop the big hammer on people that through acts of negligence, DWI/DUI or carelessness cause death and/or serious injury. Wipe out a family of four in an "accident" and if you weren't intoxicated you'll probably walk. A good friend of mine has been in a wheelchair since the night of her senior prom back in the '70s because of a repeat offender drunk driver. The driver has had several additional DUIs but is still a free woman.
Another friend of mine was killed when a county dump truck ran over him as he was turning into his driveway on his motorcycle as his wife and kids watched. Driver was on his cell phone. Judge wouldn't even suspend his license for 30 days because he didn't want to burden his ability to make a living.
As to why the 2nd offense? Barring the DUI driver causing death/injury/property damage then a severe but not life long insurmountable punishment for a 1st offense. I'm willing to give most people a 2nd chance if they didn't completely screw the pooch the 1st time around, some people are capable of learning.
As to severe punishment being a deterrent... There are any number of things I refrain from doing in large part because of the penalty for getting caught far exceeds the benefit of the act. Not everyone has that same mindset.
Another option is to mandate governors on vehicles that prevent people from exceeding the posted speed limit. Nobody needs a car capable of exceeding the highest posted speed limit in their state.
-
Fatigue could be higher in the US simply because we have a big country (geographically) along with large cities (by square mile).
It would be helpful if we had statistics on the causes of the accidents cross referenced with things like speed limit. I was wondering if road construction and other things like that have an effect, but I don't know.
On road design, if someone is exceeding the speed limit by a great amount, how would road design help? Are you designing the road for the much higher speed limit?
Did road deaths fall off when a lot of people were working from home in 2020/2021?

And where did you get those numbers? ;/
I was going to say that zahc's numbers are correct but I hadn't looked at them carefully. I'm not sure how he is getting to the "deaths per million km". Comparing deaths per mile driven (probably the most meaningful figure from a safety perspective), the US rates are around 8 deaths per billion vehicle-kilometers. Italy doesn't produce that figure, but some numbers for comparison:
Norway is about 2
The UK about 3
Germany about 4
Japan about 5
New Zealand about 7
Korea about 9
Czech republic about 10
https://www.itf-oecd.org/sites/default/files/docs/irtad-road-safety-annual-report-2022.pdf
It is my observation that zahc tends to very confidently believe that most complicated things are in fact extremely simple, that there is a singular root cause of most major issues that could be easily corrected if someone like him were in charge, and is much more comfortable than I am with the idea of forcing people to live lifestyles he approves of.

Simply implement current best practices in road design and stop building to 1960s standards in 2023.
How about 1930s standards?
When I was growing up, traffic circles were found everywhere. And they were dangerous, so newer roads and highways eliminated traffic circles.
And now my state's department of transportation is bringing them back. They recently installed on on the road I take to the shooting range.

Frankenstein among other "horror" works
As part of the African American Studies class, titled "Black Horror, White Terror," students are instructed to analyze horror books and movies through the lens of "racial identity and oppression" using materials about "the power and horror of whiteness," "black feminism" and "queering personhood," according to a fall 2022 syllabus obtained by The College Fix.
"We will also consider the relationship between horror and Black literary modes and traditions focusing on key moments that depict fears of Blackness and/or the terror associated with being Black in America," the syllabus reads. "This course will study the works of Black authors and producers as a way to explore racial identity and oppression."
One of the academic articles titled, "Frankenstein's Monster and Images of Race in Nineteenth-Century Britain," offers a "racial reading" of Frankenstein through "the Marxist and the feminist location of the novel in the social and psychological context of the times" with the thesis that "Shelley's portrayal of her monster drew upon … contemporary attitudes towards non-whites."

I think the vastness argument has a lot to do with the reality that so many Americans rely on automobiles for nearly all our travel, instead of mass transit, or walking. We get a lot of opportunities to be in car accidents, whether our fault, or another's.

"Supposed" vast distances? I'm on vacation and yesterday drove from Second Mesa AZ to Teec Nos Pos. That's about 200 miles. Most of it straight, two lane, and rough. You may consider that area irrelevant, but people live out there. That corner of Arizona is vast even though the population probably adds up to only what is found in a small town in my home state of Virginia. Do you really think it's practical to make drivers on those roads drive 35 just so city dwellers will not feel picked on?
By the way, I agree that type of road is probably several times more dangerous than an interstate, I just don't think it's practical to make everywhere a full day's drive away for the residents. That would make as much sense as outlawing cars in Washington DC in order to entirely eliminate traffic deaths. They's got the Metro, Bicycles, and can walk in safety

Really? I don't know of any major metro area where you can "walk safely", especially not after dark. :facepalm:

I don't think those roads are more dangerous. They usually have less traffic. I ended up driving from the Texas border through Lubbock and Austin last year. The roads were almost all 2 lane and mostly 70 to 75 MPH speed limit. I didn't feel unsafe. Near Austin was the worst part as I got into highways with lots of traffic.
-
Really? I don't know of any major metro area where you can "walk safely", especially not after dark. :facepalm:
There are lots. Of course, a "major metro area" has a LOT of component areas. Some are safe, high priced havens, while other component areas are complete and total crime ridden *expletive deleted*it holes.
For example, Philadelphia. But wait, that's a crime ridden *expletive deleted*it hole of monumental proportions, right?
Again, it depends on WHERE in Philadelphia.
Nicetown (actually Tioga and Nicetown) in North Philly. You don't want to be there at any time of the freaking day OR night. Or ever.
The crime rate is over 2,600 per 100,000.
Safest neighborhoods, where it actually is safe and family oriented?
Try Chestnut Hill, Upper Roxborough or Rittenhouse Square.
Sure, there's crime there, too, but it's not bad for a major metropolitan area.
So yeah, you CAN walk safely in many major metropolitan areas, as long as you know where you are.
-
. . . So yeah, you CAN walk safely in many major metropolitan areas, as long as you know where you are.
That was ABSOLUTELY the case in Chicago when I still lived there. I expect it still is, but the "no go" areas have certainly expanded.

All neighborhoods in our major cities are safe. Talk of high crime rates is nothing but MAGA fear-mongering.

The "climate crisis"
Jane Fonda blamed men – and racism – for climate change during a conversation at this year's Cannes Film Festival, arguing that without the patriarchy, the crisis allegedly of epic proportions would cease to exist.
"This is serious," she said Saturday. "We’ve got about seven, eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels, and unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest — Global South, people on islands, poor people of color. It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men — they’re all men [behind this]."

Not really, but it's never clearly stated, and it's certainly possible. In the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien only vaguely describes Aragorn's physical appearance:

Bugged me at first but you got to admit that over time she made that character her own and it stands on it's own. As a side note saw something that said they considered having Benedict appear as her father.
I'm surprised the left didn't scream bloody murder when the two main black characters from the original were race swapped, Col. Tigh to a White male and Boomer to a Asian female*. They may have I just don't remember hearing about it.

In the otherwise excellent Dune film, Liet Kynes was transformed to a woman. The actress attempted to play the role in a macho manner. It was just dull. The character was written as a man, and did not fit a woman, at all.
It was a particularly unnecessary decision in the light of Dune's already excellent female characters (Jessica and the Reverend Mother Hellen Mohaim), both of which were done extremely well in the film.

There's a director's cut or extended version (or several) or something floating around out there. I remember many years ago watching one of them.

The new Little Mermaid movie
Yeah you heard that right.
While many (on the right) were bashing the movie for race swapping the main character apparently not everyone on the left is pleased with the film
Disney’s new live-action update of "The Little Mermaid" has been slammed for not acknowledging slavery in its 18th-century Caribbean setting, with one critic likening it to ignoring the Holocaust in a 1940s story set in Germany.
So apparently if your film is set in the 18th century and doesn't acknowledge black slavery it's racist.
When are they going to learn you can never win with the left?

I suspect that films that don't acknowledge slavery are racist for that reason and films that do acknowledge it are also racist because they glorify slavery. Films not set in the 1800s are also probably racist for avoiding the issue.

So the wokesters would have liked Ariel to emerge onto shore with legs, be immediately captured, chained up, and shipped to Mississippi, where she can spend the rest of the movie cooking for and being raped by Leonardo DiCapprio's character from Django Unchained? That doesn't seem very "Disney Princess"

Maybe they would. From what I have heard, there would be more demand in the Caribbean or Brazil.

Today's wokesters believe in strong & heroic female characters in movies, so maybe Ariel would break her chains, knock off Leonardo's character, and then mete out summary justice to Simon Legree . . . while (as a mermaid) pausing to help Eliza as she's crossing the ice.

When I try and put the parts of that guy's story together, I wonder what's left out. He's a normal guy, and then gets into a frat with [sinister music, sinister political ad voice] Republican Men. And then he's suddenly reading anti-Semitic stuff, and turns into a white supremacist? And then Donald Trump is somehow a part of the process?
Cut to when he loses his job, and is so hard-up he's doing drug trials for money. Yadda-yadda, he's now hiring a DEI trainer, and somehow paying for therapy?
I guess if you believe voting Republican is a gateway drug to bigotry, that first part makes sense. If. But the second part just sounds absurd, without more context.

The English language
Note: We're only hearing one side in this so far
A professor is suing Pennsylvania State University for race discrimination after he was subjected to instruction that the English language is racist and the embodiment of "White supremacy," along with additional tirades against White people in professional development trainings, according to a lawsuit.
Professor Zack De Piero "was individually singled out for ridicule and humiliation because of the color of his skin," the lawsuit, filed by The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR), said.
Oh, and throw in white teachers while we're at it.
Some of the workshops included a presentation captioned "White Teachers are a Problem," according to the lawsuit.
"The ‘White Teachers are a Problem’ video imposed on Penn State faculty… associated ‘White supremacy’ with all the evils of the world," according to the suit.
Say hello to their equity admin
An equity administrator named in the suit, Alina Wong, engaged in breathing exercises in one session and suggested White staff needed to hold their breath longer than people of color in order to "'feel the pain’ that George Floyd endured," according to the lawsuit.

I happened to come across this article, not realizing it is from the much-ballyhooed 1619 Project. I'm guessing it's one of the more reasonable installments, but look at this little gem I found:
Earlier this year, while looking up some information about my grandmother, I stumbled upon her father, my great-grandfather Nap McQueen. There he was in a black-and-white photo, looking straight into the camera, in a long-sleeve shirt, slacks and a hat. He was enslaved as a boy, and he was one of more than 2,300 formerly enslaved people interviewed for the Federal Writers’ Project’s Slave Narratives. He was vivid in his recollection — how he was born in Tennessee and taken to Texas by wagon. His enslaver, he said, “was a good massa,” in part because he allowed McQueen to go fishing and hunting on the weekends, and his enslaver wouldn’t draw blood during whippings. His enslaver treated his property so well, he said, that they were the envy of enslaved people on other plantations.
Nap McQueen’s words disappointed me. I was embarrassed. My great-grandfather had echoed the “lost cause” ideology.
He talked about how his enslaver lined up all the enslaved people and announced that they were free. They could leave, his enslaver said, or they could stay, and he would give them some land. My family stayed, making a life in Woodville, Tex.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/19/magazine/slavery-american-schools.html?mtrref=duckduckgo.com&gwh=B64739563BDEE5448022BEA23201303D&gwt=pay&assetType=PAYWALL
Speaking of ideology - "Is the lost cause in the room with us right now?"
Her own ancestor WHO WAS THERE had the gall to say that his master was "good," at least as slave-owners go.
But it's OK. Great-grandbaby is there to tell us what it was really like. Nevermind that her family chose to stay in close proximity to this Simon Legree. That tells us nothing at all. Like all slave-owners, he was basically Satan. It reminds me of a comment Candace Owens made, when we she was trying to talk to some "anti-racists." I can only paraphrase, but she said something like, "You're more emotional about it than the people who went through it!"
-
I have read many slave narratives recorded by the Federal government during the great depression. The former slaves who hated or loved their owners were relatively rare (and made the most interesting reading). The large majority of them when asked said something to the effect that their owner was "good" but didn't appear have much feeling in the matter... kind of like how someone might describe their boss at work.
I've also read some modern commentators who appear to be angry that slaves ever had a good time (like the one you mentioned). It is like they think slaves should have been miserable constantly. Many of the former slaves described their holidays (usually two or three times a year), the food they ate, music and so on. That appears to be offensive to some people today.
Slave owners typically lived in close proximity to their slaves, and spent much of their days with them. Just imagine what it would be like to live surrounded by people who hated you. You had to work out ways to get along with each other... I mean, if you didn't you could easily end up dead.
The most disturbing element that was common in the slave narratives was separation from family by sale. That was something that they dreaded. I read a couple of narratives that said their owners wouldn't whip their slaves, but any that didn't work would be sold, which was considered to be unpleasant fate, as you may never see family again. The most vivid narrative I read was of a former slave who described how she was sure her former owner was burning in hell for selling her away from her family as a child.
*edit* Oh and though I think were was close to zero that was positive about slavery, old former slaves saying they were "better off" as slaves wasn't particularly rare in the narratives. They were all aged, and most were in poverty. Quite a few had most of their families dead or gone, which was tragic.

Being informed about history, and pretending that slave owners were human beings, are both forms of white supremacy.

I just found this gem in a slave narrative... slaves defying traditional sterotypes... :lol:
Fight with Master
My mother's first master was named Rasly, and her second was named Neely. She and her young master, John McNeely, who was raised with her and who was about the same age as she was, got to fighting one day and she whipped him clear as a whistle. After she whipped him that fight went all over the country. She was between sixteen and seventeen years old an he was about the same. She had never been whipped by the white folks.
She was in the kitchen. I don't know what the trouble started over. But they had an argument. There were some other white boys in the kitchen with her young master, and they kept pushing the two of them up to fight. He wanted to show off; so he told her what he would do to her if she didn't hush her mouth. She told him to just try it, and the fight was on. So they fought for about an hour, and the other white boys egged them on.
She said that her old master never did whip her, and she sure wasn't going to let the young one do it. I never heard that they punished her for whipping her young master. I never heard her say that anybody tried to whip her at any other time. My mother was a strong woman. She could lift one end of a log with any man.
I've read some other "unexpected" dimensions to slave life... it wasn't rare for slaves to run away temprorarily... not up north, but just to hide out in the woods, sometimes just temporarily. The slave owner would sometimes use go-betweens to try and convince them to return... which would involve negotiations. The go-between might say, well, she's ready to come back, but she is afraid of getting whipped. The owner would say "Whipped? No, no no I'm not going to whip her! Just tell her to come on back, and we let bygones be bygones."

The . . . person . . . in that video is clearly mentally ill - and not just because of it's position on masks.
I rarely - RARELY - see anyone wearing a mask in public any more. And it's usually someone elderly who I suspect may have other health issues.
Once or twice a month I see someone driving in their car - alone - wearing a mask. The rationale behind THAT is something I don't understand.
As for white supremacy - the word "racism" has been applied literally to everything for so long now, even the lefties know it's lost its meaning, to say nothing of its impact. So "white supremacy" is the latest pejorative upgrade they're trying out.

I'm going to so no, there aren't. I am on a work trip and in the last week have been in LA, Sydney, and Brisbane. Mask wearing is under 20% in all those places, and I would say that it's under 10% in LA. If SoCal and Australia have backed off this far from the height of crazy, I don't think there's anywhere left in the world with universal masking.
That mentally ill lady is just trying to force folks to cater to her preferences by throwing out buzz words that have always gotten her capitulation in the past.
FWIW, if I had to guess based on aircraft passengers China, Korea, and Japan probably have the highest masking rate left, as folks with those passports seemed most likely to still be wearing something. Followed by white western Europeans.

Seems like Asian country mask wearing was a thing even pre-covid, both to avoid illness and pollution, so they probably have a different baseline. If 20% of them are wearing masks now, probably 20% were wearing them before.
-
For clarity: Masking seemed (SWAG) under 20% for the whole of folks I saw in those places. The Asian passport holders were well above 50% for masking.
I agree, that they had a much higher baseline acceptance for masking, but I think they are also still COVID bumped above that baseline. China specifically didn't come off of their Zero COVID policies smoothly, and their tourists seem to be more concerned. There are also just a lot les Chinese tourists since I was last in this part of the world.

My wife and I just got back from a cruise that visited Norway, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and England. Almost no mask wearing in those countries, and the ones who were appeared older or in poor health.

Blacks need their own outdoor safe spaces
“There is trauma related to being outdoors,” the founder of an organization working to provide safe spaces for Black people to enjoy outdoor activities says.
“There's a lot of healing that we as a Black community must do.” https://t.co/pGFNa6gJQO
— NBC News (@NBCNews) July 26, 2023
They don't feel safe outdoors because they might see a Trump flag. Oh the horror.
And Jan 6 is drug into this of course
This sense of community is common when it comes to Black outdoors enthusiasts. Toyin Ajayi launched Outdoorsy Black Women in 2021 in Atlanta because she was looking “for a space for Black women like me.” Ajayi, who lives in an RV, has loved being out in nature since she was a child, frequenting butterfly gardens and flower fields. Ajayi said the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot all bolstered conversations about safe spaces for Black people.
“There were a lot of Black people looking for safe spaces to go camping and just experience the outdoors. People would go to campgrounds, and there would be Trump flags flying everywhere,”Ajayi said, citing the many mental health benefits of being outdoors, like alleviating depression and stress. People around her wanted to know where they could safely go camping without being harassed or discriminated against. “I wanted to build a safe space for that. I figured if I needed a space like that, there were other Black women who probably needed that space too.”

Nooga
A minor league baseball team discontinued selling a t-shirt it was after fans criticized the graphic for looking like a racial slur.
The Chattanooga Lookouts, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds, tried to combine its "Nooga" nickname and its logo of two eyes, and it did not go well.
The team replaced the two O's with their eyes logo, and fans thought it closely resembled the n-word.

Being a little closer to the situation and the news organizations that reported on this incident, I don't believe Brown was a "career thug criminal" - yet.
What he WAS was an over-sized teen bully that used his size to bully and strong-arm people. He thought he could get away with strong-arming the cop too, but found out differently.

A Danish movie set in 1750s Denmark is apparently too white.
Yeah.......
A Danish movie star and filmmaker were stunned when a reporter asked about the lack of diversity in their new film, "The Promised Land," which takes place in Denmark in the 1750s, during a recent Venice Film Festival press conference.
An unnamed reporter from Denmark asked, "This is a cast and Danish production that is entirely Nordic, therefore has some lack of diversity, you would say, there’s also new rules implied in Hollywood."
Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, who stars in the film made by his fellow countryman Nikolaj Arcel, cut off the question while shaking his head in disbelief.
"What? From the get-go," Mikkelsen said while laughing.
The reporter then evoked "Parasite" — which won Best Picture for the 2019 movie year — a South Korean film with a prominently South Korean cast and crew. It would be eligible for the top prize under the new rules, while he said an "all-Nordic cast" is not.

Completely agree with Mads, but I feel bad for the reporter. Having some knowledge of how the Germanic languages "interpret" thoughts into English, the reporter wasn't calling them out. It seemed to me that he was agreeing that it was stupid that Hollywood says a South Korean movie with a 100% Korean cast meets their diversity requirements, but a Danish move (SET IN THE 1850s!!!!!!!!!!!) with an all Nordic cast is racist. He was asking them how they will handle Hollywood not accepting their film for the Oscars. These Hollywood people are whack.

Word limits
You can't make this *expletive deleted*it up
Harvard's student newspaper has claimed that a new admissions test is racist and discriminatory, because the 200-word limit for the essays do not give applicant from 'non-traditional backgrounds' enough space to explain themselves.
The Crimson this week, run by Cara Chang, published an op-ed written by its editorial board.
They argued that replacing the previous one optional open-ended essay and two optional short essays with five compulsory 200-word segments was discriminatory.
'Shortening the essays has a disparate impact that falls heaviest on those from marginalized backgrounds,' the board writes.
'Learning to package yourself within a shorter amount of space is a product of advanced education; longer essays more equitably allow applicants to discuss their experiences in full, particularly if they are from non-traditional backgrounds and require more space to elaborate on nuanced qualifications.'

No hoodies
No saggy pants
No sleeveless tank tops on men
A St. Louis restaurant has sparked a massive backlash after enacting a lengthy list of new rules including 'no hoodies', 'saggy pants' and 'sleeveless tank tops on men' - despite its own staff being scantily-clad in tiny uniforms.
The restaurant, Social Bar and Grill Soulard located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri posted their new policy outside the bar's front window and on an easel at the host stand earlier this month.
According to the new dress code, masks, hoodies, saggy pants, backpacks, men's sleeveless tank tops, and overly revealing outfits are now forbidden in the establishment.
Okay, I understand how the rules could be considered hypocritical but racist?
Some claimed the rules were racist or anti-LGBTQ, while others appeared amused asking if this was the same establishment that once had their servers dress topless and adorned in body paint.
In response to these rules someone wrote: 'F*** this place! Implicit racism and right wing bulls***.'

In an urban setting the uniform of saggy pants, wife beaters and/or hoodies belongs to a specific subculture, that is very predominantly black. Attempting to exclude that subculture is buy dress code is going to very neatly fit the "disproportinate effect on one race" test lots of folks (and governments) use as a litmus test for racisim in policyies. Reading that rule list in it's entirety, it appears they are trying to exclude gnagbangers. But how many non-black gangbangers are there in downtown St. Louis?
Kind of like if you opened a restaurant in LA and your dress code banned chinos and button-ups with only the top button fastened, it's not explicitly racist, but you also only banned Latinos.

-

No, because drive-bys are themselves an illegal act. The two are not comparable.
A better comparison would be wanting to cut down on drive-bys, so you pass a law that bans 24" spinners on sedans in Chicago. Can anyone put spinners on their cars? Sure. Are them some white and latino dudes in Chicago with 24s? Also sure. Are the cars you just banned almost completely driven by Black males? yes. Whether that makes you racist is open to argument, I just pointed out that it meets the current definition of a racist policy in American jurisprudence, so calling such a policy racist is not completley out of left field.
Bogie can correct me if he thinks I'm wrong, but I still thing that in the context of a club in downtown St. Louis over 90% of the people that policy turns away will be black folks, just based on population and cultural fashion. Put that policy into place in other places, and the demographics change.

Trump visiting PSA
A lot of the media has focused on whether Trump actually purchased a gun and violated the law, but less attention has been paid to Trump’s decision to visit Palmetto State Armory, as opposed to any other gun store in South Carolina.
In late August, a white man opened fire in a Dollar General store in a predominantly Black Jacksonville neighborhood, killing three people, all of whom were Black. The shooter, who then killed himself, used a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, at least one of which was painted with a swastika. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said the shooter “hated Black people” and acted alone.
At least one of the guns came from Palmetto State Armory, a store in Summerville, South Carolina. The Jacksonville sheriff’s office shared photos of the firearms used in the attack on its Facebook page. One of the guns is clearly engraved with the Palmetto State Armory logo. The shooter had also drawn swastikas on the gun.
When the Jacksonville shooting happened, Trump did not issue any statement on the tragedy. But you could argue that this campaign stop is a kind of tacit statement. He put the spotlight on Palmetto State Armory, praised its inventory, and tried to offer it business.

Pumpkins and Pumpkin Spice
When Lisa Powell and Elizabeth Engelhardt published a peer-reviewed research article titled “The Perilous Whiteness of Pumpkins” in 2015, many conservative, White scholars responded with outrage and disdain.
For instance, Margaret Wente, a Canadian columnist for The Globe and Mail, suggested the scholarly article reduced White people’s affinity for pumpkin spice lattes to “the ultimate expression of white privilege” and that it intended to inspire feelings of “shame,” in White people who buy them to fulfill their caffeine cravin
Why is it so hard to believe that pumpkins have a connection to whiteness in America? Perhaps it’s because so many feed into the myth of meritocracy and believe that resources in our community are made equally available, that those who work hard are able to succeed, and that blaming anyone struggling as having a poor work ethic. They need a pumpkin to be just a food item and nothing more to feed the myth that we live in an equal society, but we know that’s not true. As Powell and Engelhardt point out, to understand the “racial politics of pumpkins,” we should realize that they are more than a food item but also a symbol.
Furthermore, pumpkins are a common symbol of pranking culture in America, which is ultimately White since Black teenagers are not allowed to make mischief without it being viewed through a criminal lens. As City Ott, an American studies professor, told Mic, “shaming pumpkins and misrule at this festival are seen as an affront, but an affront that lets people let loose without challenging norms. The white kids here are just acting out. Black people are actually trying to change a violent political system.”
It then goes into the aspects of the white "Pumpkin spice latte culture"

Right to repair
Because hospitals might start doing their own repairs and that will effect POC the most. :O
One report from researchers with UCLA, Johns Hopkins and Harvard shows that hospitals with a large share of African American patients have significant funding disparities and receive lower payments for care from programs like Medicare. Unfortunately, these facilities are the ones that will most likely use the unregulated repair option to fit necessary maintenance into tight budgets. Therefore, we could be unintentionally putting our community on the front lines of the increased risk a broad right-to-repair policy would enable.

Apropos of nothing, I was just checking my Vanguard account, and saw that the scrolling pictures on the home page had zero white people in it. For kicks, I started clicking through all the Vanguard pages, and the models they use for "clients" are easily 95% POC. There are some clearly white women, and a couple of old white couples. Otherwise, any younger "white" man that shows up is ambiguous enough to be of European descent or of Middle Eastern descent.
I'm curious as to how that relates to their actual client demographics.

The traditional right wing is dead, they've abandoned nationalism for globalism. Sold the birthright for a box of plastic Chinese etc crap.

The country is run by folks who are either foreigners at heart or they are in league with them that have no loyalty to Americans. The right wing are fellow travelers these days.
The traditional right wing is dead, they are simply the not so quickly and lets work the evil orderly under color of law party.
Globalist economics rotted out our manufacturing base through global trade, minimalist (un)ethics based on freedom ie (lasciviousness) and equality of outcomes (modern equity). All that along with the final wave (starting in 1965) of cultural diluting mass immigration has destroyed the nation called America.
Mass immigration, looting of resources and demoralization of citizenry = WAR. "Our government" has been waging war on the America they claim to represent most if not all of our lives.
The traditional right wing have given only token resistance, if any at all, to the very vectors where the nation was attacked. They believed the lie of "the proposition nation". Nations aren't propositions. They are people, people with a shared history, culture and yes, normally a majority race or ethnicity. We are an empire run by globalists. The concerns of the people in the USA have become bothersome, so they have decided to get new people and sideline the annoying heritage Americans.
We ain't in Kansas anymore Toto.

Anti-plagiarism policies and plagiarism monitoring software
Yeah.....
On June 30, Antar A. Tichavakunda, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati (UC), published an article on Inside Higher Ed that argued exam surveillance, zero-tolerance policies, and fraternities and sororities harm “Black and Latinx” students.
On the issue of technology, Tichavakunda claims that “proctoring software built to monitor students during remote exams… perpetuates racial biases and stereotypes.”

Boston mayor doesn't apologize for her no whites allowed holiday party instead she apologizes for them finding out about it.
Boston's Democratic mayor has apologized for causing offense with a holiday party invitation that excluded White people.
Michelle Wu drew criticism Wednesday after her aide sent a holiday party invite to all members of the Boston City Council for an "Electeds of Color Holiday Party," even though seven of the officials are White.
Wu told reporters on Wednesday that the invite was not meant to be sent to White council members, who had their invitations rescinded about 15 minutes after the original email was sent.
"We had individual conversations with everyone so people understand that it was truly just an honest mistake that went out in typing the email field," Wu told reporters.

I would be forced to point out that, on an individual level, she has actively handicapped her child, and set them up for a less successful adulthood. Whatever you want to argue on a societal level, the kind of schools rich white people send their kids to have measurably better outcomes on an individual basis. She has harmed her child for her cult.

I'm not sure the causation is as even remotely as strong as you imply. I'd argue that it's much more a case of correlation and signaling than causation.
The type of parents with the inclination and resources to send their kids to private schools tend to be ingrained with a culture that emphasizes the importance of education (i.e. some European and American subcultures, many Asian cultures, some recent African immigrants, Jews, Mormons, etc.), tend to have a higher genetic baseline for intelligence, and often have more time and energy to dedicate to working with their kids at home. The kids of such parents are likely to do very well later in life even if attending a mid-rate public school or doing home school. Conversely, you could drop a single mom's kid from an Appalachian mining town who doesn't want anything more than to get on the dole as soon as possible - or his urban equivalent - in the best possible private school and they're going to do far more to drag down the kids around them than be improved by the school.
Granted, the potential negative impact of a bad school is nearly unlimited, but the potential positive impact of a really good school is solidly capped by the critical factors of culture, inherent capability, and parental involvement.
-
Sure but culture, inherent capability, and parental involvement are not variables here. (I might argue that parental involvement might be a variable, as hanging out with the involved parents of the good school might shift the cultist's Overton Window, but let's set that aside)
The variable is the good school, and making friends with other kids likely to be successful, or not. While the factors listed might very well make the child not as successful as some of their peers in any situation, removing them from a good school and putting them in a lesser one has no chance of helping the kid.
So for THAT kid, changing schools to one that doesn't have "too many rich white kids" is almost certainly harmful, compared to where THAT kid would have been staying in a private school.

Tangentially, and making a thread all about Ben again, I have a little "good school / bad school" experience myself, albeit it all in the public school space. In Elementary school, I was pretty much a straight A student, always being picked for whatever they called the "advanced placement" classes back then. Part of that was because my parents, besides things like my dad teaching me to read at 3 by using encyclopedias instead of kids books, was them working multiple jobs to get us money to move into a neighborhood where there were good schools.
Then in the 7th grade, me and Kamala were both put on buses. Hers went to good schools. Mine went to the worst junior high school in the city in the worst part of town. But hey, it was diverse, and as a white kid, it was what I deserved. I got beat up a lot. That was only one of the things that caused my grades to drop. And drop and drop. I became a C student for most of Junior High. It wasn't for wont of intelligence, and I'm not trying to brag, but I have a 151 IQ, and was always reading and doing experiments as a kid just for fun. That intelligence didn't disappear in Junior High, but I had no desire to apply it there. One of my first beatdowns my first month there was not letting a Mexican gangbanger cheat off me in math class. He and his buddies jumped me at lunch and beat the crap out of me. I didn't see the point in being a "good student".
For High School, I got to go back to the one my parents worked to get me to, but I never became more than a B student, which, looking back now was because my younger self never got past my terrible junior high experience. My attitude was that school sucked and was a waste of time. I mean, I recovered, in that after high school I did blue collar stuff learning life lessons, and went back to college later in life with the same dedication and interest that I had in elementary school. But I could have just as easily continued the downward slide from junior high.
There is no education through diversity - at least in the direction of "good schools are bad for equity". It will only create worthless people. An "underrepresented student" may have a chance to do better being put in a good school, but taking a white kid out of a good school and putting them in a crap school to "even things out" won't lift up the bad school, it will only drag down the student.

I'm not saying that she's making a good choice or for good reasons, I'm just pointing out that modern, factory schooling (private or public) isn't as impactful or important as we sometimes pretend.
Assuming the kid transfers into even an average school, the degree to which that fancy private school can help her child in the long run is likely to be insignificant and completely eclipsed and overshadowed by all the other choices the family makes. While the choice probably wasn't for the better, short of dumping them into a craphole like Ben describes, it likely doesn't really matter in the long term. I'd also note that even private schools often take in kids on scholarships who can trash the performance of those around them. For someone who can afford a private school, she probably lives in an area with at least halfway decent public schools.
As a kid I mostly attended public schools but attended at a private school for a couple of years. I'd argue that my success has little to nothing to do with my time in the private school, except inasmuch as it kept me out of southern Californian public schools when gangs were a significant problem.
With the possible exception of extremely high-end private schools which might serve a beneficial signaling purpose in the future, for schools above a relatively low threshold, the potential positive impact of a primary school system on eventual individual performance is negligible.
Now, if mom thinks the best thing to do is to stick the kid in an inner-city school for the sake of diversity and such, of course it'll work out badly.

Same thing they're doing with housing. Reather than try to improve the bad neighborhoods they force low and no rent housing into well to do neighborhoods and then transport in people from the bad ones claiming the people living in those low/no rent housing will be brought up by the more well to do people in the neighborhood. All that ever happens is that the low/no rent people just dragged the neighborhood down into being basically being the same kind of neighborhood they were transported out of.

Which is of course, racist to say. I occasionally look at the Reddit prepper thread, and yesterday someone from the UK made a post asking for help. They are in a village of 700, and the UK is importing 1100 (I think - the post is gone, but somewhere in that range) North African "asylum seekers" to their area. He was concerned with an increase in crime, as he should be, and was asking for suggestions on home security. The moderators removed his post and locked the thread because 'racism" for assuming that there might be a crime increase. This is the thread:

Years ago they decided our neighborhood didn't have it's fair share of crime so they put in a stretch a Section 8 apartments in the area. We now have obvious as F drug houses in the area and crime has gone through the roof. Stores are closing in the local shopping center because they can't handle the shop lifting. Murders have gone from being pretty much unheard of in the area to 5 in just the past 1 1/2 years. Looking at a crime map just one of the apartment buildings had 19 police reports attached to it in just the past 6 months. City has announced that since the program has been such a roaring success more are headed our way.

Super Bowl champion running back Rashard Mendenhall had enough with NFL analysts, specifically "average white guys" as he explained on social media.
"I’m sick of average white guys commenting on football," he wrote. "Y’all not even good at football. Can we please replace the Pro Bowl with an All-Black vs. All-White bowl so these cats can stop trying to teach me who’s good at football. I’m better than ur (sic) goat."
Imagine a white guy making comments like this. The media would go nuclear and he would be fired by that afternoon.

Obviously it's (bad) fiction, but I am intrigued by the "Loyalist" states. Of the Low Hanging fruit, there's already an existing independence movement in Hawaii (https://www.nationofhawaii.org/), and Alaska only barely considers itself part of the US now. Hawaii would be gone, and Alaska would only be loyalist until it was inconvenient.
I'm also skeptical of what, besides brute force, could make Kentucky and West Virginia side with DC and New England over the "FL Alliance" (Except maybe that name). It would show better writing, world building, and some effort to have researched the situation if they had VA split roughly on the I95 corridor, and western VA, WV, and KY side with the Alliance. The same might hold true of the Appalachian Carolinas.
Out west, depending on their political lean they could have had the NCR 'scuse me the Republic of California lose some of the Mojave to loyalist Nevada, and pick up a couple hundred miles of coastline up through Seattle.

Yeah, there's no way the Western portions of Oregon and Washington become part of the "Western Forces". Certainly the Eastern parts of those states, but the coastal areas would go California all the way. Those two states would do a split, or else end up with their own intrastate civil wars.
I mean, this could end up being a good movie, but I'm just doubting it, and going back to Dogmush's predictive programming, it's interesting that it's coming out in the same election year in which even parts of the MSM are declaring that Trump will create a dictatorship if he wins.

They started declaring menthol cigs racist a while back so of course any delay in banning them is racist.
Our nation’s health regulators were ready to take the important step of banning menthol, the only tobacco flavor that is still allowed on the market — that is until the Biden administration stepped in to delay the ban.
This delay is not without consequence, as I told the White House in a recent meeting. A delay means more deaths — more deaths of Black people and especially Black children. We have seen a delay on voting rights, a delay on living wages and now a delay of a moral rule to regulate menthol.
Has anyone seriously looked into really if and if true why are blacks especially impacted by menthol cigs or is this an imagined, like far too many, problem?
I recall them going after Math Liquors (Colt 45 ect..) for somewhat similar reasons saying blacks are impacted more by the fact they have a high alcohol content than reg beer and I can testily by working in my younger days in a convenient type store 90+% of Malt Liquors buyers were black. But how is that the fault of the product?

Things were simpler when there were two sexes and black meant African American. Now the only things I'm sure of is that everybody thinks everybody else is a racist.
BTW, there was a news report several years ago that covered a dispute in Africa. The reporter ended up stuck because she first referred to a white person as a white African, then was painted into a corner to refer to another group as African American Africans. It wasn't black or white to her.

There isn't very much "African" at all about "African-Americans", and when the cultures collide it's going to leave a mark.

Where I worked there was a Nigerian woman who I asked once if she ever experienced racism in America and she said yes but not from whites but from the blacks here. She said many blacks here are very rude to them. She said she walked into a black church and was told to leave, she wasn't welcome there, while she said she could walk into a predominantly white church and they would welcome her.

Yes that MSNBC
Tiffany Cross said MSNBC executives favored White men and planted negative stories about her. (MSNBC)
"The network’s philosophy was Trump, Trump, Trump. They wanted me to be part of the echo chamber," Cross said.
Cross also said that her scripts were scrutinized and nitpicked by MSNBC executives who don’t treat White males the same way, accused the network of planting negative stories about her in the press that were "filled with outright lies," and referenced reports that MSNBC president Rashida Jones tried to control the narrative about Cross' firing with a surprise visit to the set of "The View" in 2022.

How can it be discrimination when they are "supporting" all those shoplifters? It just got to be too expensive to "give away" all their products. >:D :facepalm:

Just like in the 1970s. Rampant crime drove many retailers/services (banks, gas stations, etc.) out of minority neighborhoods, creating "service deserts."
Cue the screeching that this is just a ploy by whitey to kill off POCs.
Community leaders work with retailers/services to return to service desert areas.
In quite a few cases, those new locations are immediately targeted by criminals.
Now we're seeing the cycle repeat itself.
No, Ms. Presley, this isn't racism causing this. It's the feral animal nature of the people who view these services as "free" that are to blame. In other words, you and yours.
-
Walgreens should ask Ms Presley whether she's stupid enough to believe what she's saying, or if she thinks her constituents are that stupid. Because it's one or the other.

Not standing for the "black national anthem"
A Democratic congressman raised some eyebrows online Sunday when he took a shot at the Super Bowl crowd in Las Vegas, saying very few fans stood for the singing of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," calling it "not a very pretty picture."
Known colloquially as the "Black National Anthem," Grammy winner Andra Day performed the song as part of the pre-game festivities for Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
"Very very few stood for ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing,’" Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. wrote on X. "The Negro National Anthem. Not a pretty picture of Super Bowl crowd." Cohen represents a majority-Black district in western Tennessee.

Yeah, it's a sportsball game, so who cares if that's a song they play, and who cares if anyone stands for it or not (other than, as Dogmush alluded to, the argument that I don't stand for a foreign country's anthem either)?
So let them have their little song at the sportsball match, but if you play it at official government functions and expect me to stand for it or otherwise honor it, we've got a big problem, commie.

I might even harvest a *expletive deleted*ck or two from my nearly barren field if they were to replace the Star Spangled Banner with this song, or any other "anthem"* at a big sports event. Adding it to the playlist can't make me care. Nor do I care about the race-baiter's scolding except to point out that if indeed it's the "Negro National Anthem" as he claims, it's not mine, so why would I treat it differently from any other "not my" song?** In reality that dick is engagement farming on Twitter, successfully. He probably managed to screenshot some responses in the dumpster fire to put on the powerpoint at his next fundraiser highlighting ascendant white supremacy.
* Except maybe "The Anthem" by Good Charolette. That song's a banger.
** Were I to be at a sporting event in another country, and they played that country's National Anthem, I would probably stand quietly out of respect for my hosts, but no hand over the heart or anything. That seems like the polite thing to do.

Leaving your curtains open
They focus primarily on rich vs poor but I couldn't help but notice the "wealthy young white people living in gentrified urban areas" comment.
Uncovered windows have quietly become a fixture of high-end homes across America. The New York Times recently referred to the “obligatory uncurtained windows” of Brooklyn Heights, a rich enclave in New York City, and The Root pointed out that this seemed common among wealthy young white people living in gentrified urban areas. On TikTok, onlookers have been baffled by the trend—and, sometimes, tempted to pry. Although this phenomenon is most visible in cities, the link between wealth and exposed windows extends across the United States. Most people do still close their shades, but Americans who earn more than $150,000 are almost twice as likely to leave windows uncovered as those making $20,000 to $29,000, according to a large 2013 study for the U.S. Department of Energy—nearly 20 percent of the first group compared with just over 10 percent of the second. The line isn't smooth as you slide up and down the income scale, but the overall trend is clear: The choice to draw or not draw the curtains is in part driven by class.

Anyone who appropriates good things from another culture is only doing the smart thing, of course.
I think rock was inspired by a combination of black R and B music and white country music (with some black influence to country as well... Hank Williams was taught guitar by a black man).
It is my understanding that Elvis always gave credit to black musicians that inspired him.
I've always thought it was funny that poor Southerners (white and black) invented most of the popular music styles in the country. I have heard it said that oppressed cultures make the best music, and this may be true.

Mary Poppins
Well, THAT'S a Relief: UK Board Raises Rating for Mary Poppins Due to 'Discriminatory Language'
https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2024/02/26/mary-poppins-rating-n2393312
On Friday, the British Board of Film Classification upped the Disney movie’s cinema rating from U, meaning it contained 'no material likely to offend or harm,' to PG for 'discriminatory language.'
In a statement to Variety, a BBFC spokesperson said that the film 'includes two uses of the discriminatory term ‘hottentots’. While ‘Mary Poppins’ has a historical context, the use of discriminatory language is not condemned, and ultimately exceeds our guidelines for acceptable language at U. We therefore classified the film PG for discriminatory language.'
In case you're wondering what's the "discriminatory" language they're referring to?
Use of the word "Hottentots" Twice!
Apparently it means and I had no clue it meant and I would bet 99.999999% of people had no clue either and it's use is actually pretty darn harmless IMHO even if you did know and besides it wasn't considered derisive in the first place.
But was used commonly by the Dutch in the 17th century to refer to the African Khoikhoi people. It has no known derisive etymology, but over the centuries, it began to be used as a general term for dark-skinned people, specifically those from African nations.
'Hottentots' is used a couple of times in Mary Poppins as a reference to young chimney sweeps because of the ash all over their faces from their work.
That's right: child chimney sweeps in slavish conditions are not a problem, but using the word 'Hottentots' to describe them is DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN.

Black people paying taxes
Actor Terrence Howard reportedly said it is "immoral for the United States government to charge taxes to the descendants of slaves" after being ordered to pay nearly $1 million in back taxes.
Oh and while your at it
"In truth, the entire United States should, by default, become the property of the descendants of slaves," Howard said. "But since you do not have the ability [or] the courage to do it, let’s try this in court… We’re gonna bring you down."
Hmm, I would bet good money 99.99% of Americans are descendants of slaves.
But you're dealing with people who know for a fact only blacks were ever enslaved.

White supremacy is to blame for power grid problems according to Cori Bush. Because you know the KKK is going around blowing up power plants. Then she throws in climate change for good measure which we all know is because of white supremacy as well.
Surprise she didn't include the NRA
She's a broken record stuck on stupid.
While reliability assessments regularly find that increased reliance on wind and solar, increased demand from electrification, an underbuilt electrical delivery network, and rapid retirements of on-demand generators are creating an increased risk of blackouts, Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., ranking member of the subcommittee, instead blamed other sources of the problem, namely, white supremacy. She also threw in "climate change" for good measure.
“For years, law enforcement and researchers have been monitoring violent white supremacist groups and their targeting of our country's power grid,” said Bush. She also claimed that impacts of increasing extreme weather from climate change was another factor impacting the nation’s grid reliability.
“It's unacceptable for our children and for our grandchildren who will inherit this mess if we don't address the horrors of climate change,” Bush said.

Black people paying taxes
Oh and while your at it
Hmm, I would bet good money 99.99% of Americans are descendants of slaves.
But you're dealing with people who know for a fact only blacks were ever enslaved.
Actor Terrence Howard ordered to pay almost $1M in back taxes after saying ‘immoral’ to tax slave descendants
https://www.foxnews.com/media/actor-terrence-howard-ordered-pay-almost-1m-back-taxes-saying-immoral-tax-slave-descendants
Thinking about this some more, maybe Terrence shouldn't have to pay for anything. He should move in with a white person who will then pay for all his room and board. They can pay for other stuff as needed as well. And of course, since he is living there, he should help them out with whatever else they need him to do. ... .. I guess that sounds sort of like slavery.
Citizens pay taxes and take responsibility for their own actions/needs. If you don't do those things, then what are you?

It's hard to keep track of what's racist. I normally get along OK with my next door neighbor even though she and I are 180 degrees apart politically - we just avoid politics. But one day we were chatting and she remarked that in her opinion the most handsome man in Hollywood today was Idris Elba - and she said she'd bet I didn't know who he was. I told her she was wrong - so she asked me who I thought he was. So I started, "Well, he's the black guy who played the gunslinger in The Dark Tower, and . . ."
Her face contorted in utter rage, she shouted "HE'S NOT SOME BLACK GUY YOU F****** RACIST!"
Huh?
She repeated herself, and called me a racist (that's F****** RACIST) again.
I told her I don't take that BS from anyone least of all her, and walked away. We haven't spoken for over 3 weeks now. I suspect she forgot she gave me a key to her house just in case of some emergency when she was away. I did a little research with other friends and on line, and it seems that in normal context, "black guy" isn't racist anywhere but in her warped little brain. But who knows, the way things are going, it might be the next "N-Word." (Oops, forgot that N-Word is itself an N-Word. Sorry.) :facepalm:

The Bar Exam
ThePublica
@ThePublicaNow
The Supreme Court of Washington has ruled that prospective lawyers will no longer be required to pass a bar exam to practice in the state.
The decision was reportedly made because the bar exam was too difficult for "examinees of color."
https://twitter.com/ThePublicaNow/status/1769790584422560248
According to The Spokesman-Review, after appointing the task force in 2020 to assess “disproportionate impacts on examinees of color and first-generation examinees,” the courts agreed to substitute the exam with “experiential-learning alternatives.”

If she knows or just suspects you are right-of-center, then it really does not matter what you say about race. This has been true for decades. Look at how the Left responded any time Rush Limbaugh said anything about anyone who was black, whether he mentioned their race or not. The racism is just assumed.

Kidneys
Woke doctors thought a tool that accounts for ethnic differences in kidney function was racist, so they removed it and screwed up the entire kidney transplant database 😑https://t.co/hRcl7rJzR1https://t.co/hRcl7rJzR1
— Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) March 20, 2024
https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/03/20/kidney-dei-messed-up-transplant-list-n2394186
Modern medicine has known for years that there are some basic physiological differences between ethnicities that require different types of healthcare.
One of those differences is that black people tend to have higher serum creatinine concentrations than white people: up to six times higher. What is normal for a black person might be end-stage kidney disease in a white person.
When determining the advancement of kidney disease, doctors use an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to determine how fast the kidneys are removing excess creatinine from the body, and the kidney transplant list uses the eGFR to determine the order in which patients would receive kidneys.
Rationally, the eGFR included an ethnicity-based calculation to account for the different normal levels of creatinine, so that really sick people would get transplants first, and people who were not sick would not get a transplant that they did not need.

What was left unsaid is that Don Lemon was arguing that minority medical students are too dumb to meet higher standards to become a doctor. He seemed to be arguing that higher standards were a barrier to more minorities becoming doctors.
-
The True Believers tm , of which I'm sure Don Lemon is one, will tell you that the standardized tests have incorporated systemic racisim in them so the "lower" scores of minorities are not in fact indicative of lower competence, intelligence, or whatever is being tested, but rather they are a testament to how deeply the racisim is embedded in our society.

Many years ago back when Richard J. Daley was still mayor of Chicago, someone decided that the Chicago Police Department's written police entrance exam was racist since too many black applicants were failing, and ordered a new one created. They did do it (the new authors were mostly black officers) and it was approved and applauded. A police captain - a white guy - administered the written exam to his 11 year old daughter.
She not only passed it - but aced it.
Damn racist.

Shakespeare
Not the first time but this one steps it up a bit more
To be racist or not to be racist
The “disproportionate representation” of William Shakespeare in the theatre has propagated “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives”, according to researchers in an £800,000 taxpayer-funded project.
The claim has prompted critics to accuse the Arts and Humanities Research Council, which has funded the study by academics at the University of Roehampton, of promoting “cultural clickbait”.
The project, devoted to “centring marginalised communities in the contemporary performance of early modern plays”, is due to be completed in two years’ time.
The researchers want to challenge the “normative trend” in “classical theatre” arising from “the disproportionate representation of William Shakespeare in scholarship and performance”.

In other words, a "brain dead moron" could pass the new test.
There was a radio DJ in the St. Louis area that got in trouble for bringing up a NYC case where an applicant did well on the test but wasn't hired as he was "too intelligent" according to the testers. They didn't want to pay for all that training only to have him become disillusioned and resign. The DJ pointed out that most PDs were looking for people whose IQ rating was about 105 - barely average.
Is it any wonder the cops can't seem to solve anything?

That's a longstanding urban legend that's probably true. Everyone knows Robert Moses was blatantly racist, and everyone knows he made racist decisions. And it's a fact that the Staten Island bridges are built lower than similar bridges. But did he specifically build them lower because he was racist? You'll never prove it, but there's no reason to doubt it.
What I don't understand is why people would get upset about the bridges and not about destroying entire black neighborhoods, which is way worse and also not disputed. Actually I do... it's because everything you see in the media is a smokescreen for something else, always.

NOT BEER! NO! EPIC Thread Using Mainstream Media Headlines to List Racist Foods Funniest Damn Thing EVER
https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/04/21/racist-food-thread-n2395345
And you're surprised? I've been seeing this *expletive deleted*it everywhere for years.
YOU CAN'T EAT (insert ethnic food here)! THAT'S CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!
YOU'RE ACTUALLY COOKING (insert ethnic food here)??? THAT'S VIOLENT WHITE SUPREMACIST RACISM!
People can crow about this, that, and the other thing being racist, but as far as I can tell all the screaming isn't having much, if any, effect on people at all.
Never once have I been approached by a coworker or a stranger and been told that what I'm eating, what I'm talking about ordering for lunch, etc., is blatant racism.
They people are like geese. They just squawk loudly and try to *expletive deleted*it everywhere, but most people recognize them for the fools that they are and ignore them.

I have, in a "trendy" spot near the college in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. Basically the perfect storm of retired liberals and college students. I was told that the Asian food truck I was in line for was enabling cultural appropriation. (It seemed like she (the young prog) had been arguing with the proprietor of the truck and had now shifted to trying to shame the patrons.
It's one of the few times in my life I've dropped the hard C on a woman to her face. She left, and I enjoyed some really good Singapore Mei Fun.

"It's one of the few times in my life I've dropped the hard C on a woman to her face."
Ah, the nuclear option.
Sometimes it is the only option.
Well played.

I'm afraid that if anyone ever confronts me over something like that I'm literally not going to be able to stop laughing.

??? "Hard C??" ???

A word that rhythms with hunt

In Britain, the C word isn't nearly as bad as it is here in the United States.
I've even seen it used on British TV.
Friend of mine, British, has a T shirt...
What do we want?
A cure for Tourettes Syndrom!
When do we want it?
C***!
He sent me a picture of it and I just couldn't stop laughing.

At least 75% (probably more) of the people in this country wouldn't get it.
