Fordham professor fired for apologizing after mixing up two black students who arrived late for class. I think. But he was fired.

100 bux says the second student who declined to comment through an intermediary thinks he hit the jackpot and is going to sue the school. So now, not only do blacks get jobs because they are black, white girls can't refuse to date them without being accused of racism and they are permitted to steal anything they want with no fear of jail time, we have to make a special effort to remember their names. Well what if I can't spell Shanaynay, Teshondo or any one of the other doofus names they get from their ghetto mommas? When is it enough? Equal rights home boys, not special rights.

Here is the perfect example of how this whole racism scam has gone too far. I can tell you for a fact the huge roaming groups of thugs are blacks. Anyone with eyes that work can see it. But nobody is permitted to say the truth.

I stumbled cross this article today: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news ... ovitz?s=09
The Turn

For many years—most of my politically cognizant life, in fact—I felt secure in my politics. Truth and justice, I believed, leaned leftward. If you were some version of a decent human being, you cared about those less fortunate than you, which meant that you supported a whole host of measures designed to even the playing field a little. Sometimes, these measures had unintended consequences (see under: Stalin, Josef), but that wasn’t reason enough to despair of the long march to equality. Besides, there was hardly an alternative: On the other end of the political transom lurked despicable creeps, right-wing orcs who either cared for nothing but their own petty financial interests or, worse, pined for benighted isms that preached prejudice and hate. We were on the right side of history. We were the people. We were the ones giving peace a chance. And, no matter the present, we were always the future.

That is a GREAT read! Thank You for posting that. I do believe I have a few people I will be sharing that with. Now if only they will read it with an open mind. It seems one of the first things that happens in the development of a leftist loon is to build a wall rejecting any ideas that just might challenge the leftist creed.

When “the left” becomes the party of wealthy elites and state security agencies who preach racial division, state censorship, contempt for ordinary citizens and for the U.S. Constitution, and telling people what to do and think at every turn, then that’s the side you are on, if you are “on the left”—those are the policies and beliefs you stand for and have to defend. It doesn’t matter what good people “on the left” believed and did 60 or 70 years ago.
Outstanding article!!!

The Republican's have had mighty issues with RINOs and neocons, but truthfully the democrats are also fighting for their soul as the leadership has completely sold everyone but the wealthy elite and security state that supports the elite out. The democrats should be the first to recognize this, and I'm glad these things are finally being said.

Are you an American Kulak?

Kulak, a Russian slang term for a rural peasant, white, who worked hard, achieved some success, maybe owned a small business or farm and opposed the oppressive communist government.

A term that changed over time, so that anyone who was not part of the collective would be a Kulak. Most farmers in Russia and Ukraine were Kulaks. Russia murdered all the Kulaks. As many as 8 million died in the famine of 1932 in the Soviet Union. The press kept it hidden.

Maybe the most important article you will read today.

Scout leaders apologize to a woman after investigating her for two years after she called a bearded man “he” instead of “they” on social media.

Apparently it became a big deal in England. J. K. Rollings got involved and defended the woman.

England is weird. I hope we don’t get this bad.

How dare her make such a blatant and radically sexist and defamatory remark as to call this person "he"! This should be investigated as a hate crime!

Robert E. Lee, Sheila Jackson Lee’s namesake, statue is being removed to be melted down, not preserved or displayed somewhere else in Virginia.

https://news.yahoo.com/again-crews-appa ... 21233.html

Great interest is being generated because a second time capsule has been discovered.

With breathless anticipation they hope to find more civil war confederate artifacts that can be destroyed.

Teddy Roosevelt statue removed from the NY American Museum of Natural History. It has been there for 80 years.

He created the National parks. He was an environmentalist and Naturalist before it was popular.

His father was a founder.

Picture shows museum before removal.

It’s going to North Dakota, a place no one will complain for now.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/whoopi-goldbe ... d=82613265

Whoopi suspended from the View for two weeks after her comments on the holocaust or the Jewish people or something like that. She gave her view on the View and I guess no one liked it.

A childrens book has been banned about the Holocaust. It’s a fictional story where the Jewish people are portrayed as rats. But everyone is a rat except Hitler is a cat. Sales of the book have taken off. I don’t think I will buy this book for any children I know.

And just now. And not for terrible ratings and terrible accuracy.



Update: Whoopie Goldberg (some are saying she should pick a different stage name) has threatened to quit. Sorta wish I had a list of all the times she has wanted people fired or boycotted for what they said.

Freedom of speech is down the toilet! Freedom of speech is suppose to protect words that people hate. Not what the social media determines is satisfactory for consumption. Whoopie should not have been "punished" and that book should not be banned. The first amendment is in serious danger.

More on Zucker's resignation from CNN: https://abc13.com/cnn-jeff-zucker-resig ... /11532509/
In an email to staffers sent shortly after Zucker's [announcement], Jason Kilar, the CEO of CNN parent WarnerMedia, said, "I have accepted Jeff Zucker's resignation as Chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports, and President of CNN Worldwide. We thank Jeff for his contributions over the past 9 years."

Kilar added, "We will be announcing an interim leadership plan shortly. Both of these organizations are at the top of their respective games and are well prepared for their next chapters."
Emphasis mine, but where's the Beavis snarky chuckle emoji?

From January 12 and the New York Post (well before Zucker's resignation):

Scandal-ridden CNN sees ratings dive by 90% after 2021 coverage
https://nypost.com/2022/01/12/cnn-sees- ... -coverage/
CNN’s ratings took a nosedive by a massive 90 percent both overall and in the all-important demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year....

CNN’s longtime boss Zucker was slammed last month over the network’s low ratings and dealings over scandals concerning network stars Cuomo and Don Lemon.
