Yes. Because they are stupidly remaining in that room, thus giving credence to the yammering from the black fools. They should have shot them the bird, told them to go fuck themselves and walked out. Letting fools talk is a huge problem. Everyone's opinion does NOT have value.

Seriously, I can't understand how they don't say "You are mentally ill and you should seek help. Your opinion is invalid and every single bit as racist as the most racist example you can provide that you are upset over. Have a good day and if you want people to kill themselves, I suggest you go first."

Try reading my stated positions instead of shrieking about what you "think" I think.
I am vehemently opposed to this type of idiotic Political Correctness run amok. I have explicitly said that a billion times.
Being opposed to this type of shit is not equal to supporting Trump joking that his female adversaries are ugly and "bleeding out of their wherever" and talking about his dick, etc. etc. Anti-political correctness ≠pro-being a crude asshole.

You claim to have a great insight into the Trump mind, yet you only whine about he same things the left wing media whines about.
Where is your big bomb to sink the Trump ship? All I see is a lilly-livered weak ass whiny diatribe on how he is rude and crude and cannot possibly make good decisions. sounds like left wing media talk. I thought you were SOOOO above that...

Whut? The left wing media whines about political correctness? Are you having a different conversation other than the one we're having right now and getting confused? I think Trump's an idiot crude asshole, yes. Because he is. All one has to do to realize that is listen to him speak any time he does so publicly. Don't see how it's related to this topic at all though other than to say that him being a crass asshole is NOT the same thing as opposing "political correctness". By the way, it also sounds right-wing media talk. Anyone who isn't a braindead dipshit can see this. You need me to list the hundreds of anti-Trump conservatives and conservative publications again?

Actually, "honours" are destroying our country. Lawyers, noblemen, whatever you to call them, should not be allowed to hold public office. That's how we got into this mess. The feds claim the 13th amendment was not ratified by 13 states necessary, however, it was and should be LAW. Fucking lawyers. Can't live without them, can't kill them.

He just doesn't hurt my feelings.
And there is not alternative that can win. If Cruz can come from behind and take the nomination, I will vote for him. I'm not gonna sit around and whine. I'm gonna look for the positives.
I KNOW WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE!

If you think my problem with him is that he hurts my feelings (and I know that you do because you say it repeatedly) you completely miss the point (as per usual).
He can say and do whatever he wants. If he were still the host of the Apprentice I'd have zero problem with his antics whatsoever. I don't want belligerent vindictive idiots in the oval office. Why is this hard?

I think trump is insanely ignorant to policy. But he's equally brilliant in the game of manipulation and maneuvering. That's his wheelhouse. And he's played it well.

Then you don't disagree with me. I agree with that 100%. When I say he's an idiot I mean his positions on virtually any policy you can imagine are incoherent, make no sense, are wildly inconsistent, and it is clear every single time he talks about a subject that he doesn't have even a basic understanding of what the fuck he is ever talking about.
He's got the manipulation part down pat as evidenced by his cult followers in this thread and elsewhere. There's no disputing that. He's L Ron Hubbard + Hitler + Jim Jones combined in the ways of making people buy into to their insane bullshit. 100% agree.

Oh my FUCKING GOD, Chizad. Where is the disconnect? What is it you're not hearing?
There are no motherfucking Trump cult followers here. None. Not a single one. I don't think any of us even voted for him. I know I didn't.
But some of us have resigned ourselves to the likelihood that he's going to win the Republican nomination. That being the case, we're willing to look at what he says, take it for what it is and figure out what we have to do to help him beat the Hildawhore.
Throwing tantrums about whether he's a "conservative" or tells lies or is rude or whatever doesn't advance the only agenda that matters to me. Keeping her out.
The point I've made over and over and over for 50+ pages is that ANYTHING is preferable to her. Anything. That includes Trump. If he's going to win, I've got to be behind that. And when I look at the level of support he's getting from a huge swath of voters who feel disenfranchised, it's my personal opinion that he's the only person with the magnetism to draw enough people to take her down. "Polls" be damned.
That's all there is to it.

Anything is better than her.
Thanks for the picture of somebody else I'd vote for before I would vote for her.
Basically you can choose every photo on the googles that is not Hillary or Chelsea and I'd choose them. Even Barbara Streisand. Or whoopi goodberg.
I'd vote for Terrence Cody with a dog as his running mate. I'd vote for the ewok Saint with AJ mctatoo as his VP.
She is the devil.
So you can take the anti trump rhetoric elsewhere with me. Not interested.

PC IS part of the communist manifesto. Personally, I could give two shits about the liberal's declaration limiting the rights I personally defended through military service. The more this is enforced, the angrier I become and see my service to my country as meaningless. I need some ideas how to combat this on a street level. Fuck them all.
The following are 20 outrageous examples that show how political correctness is taking over America...
#1 According to a new Army manual, U.S. soldiers will now be instructed to avoid "any criticism of pedophilia" and to avoid criticizing "anything related to Islam". The following is from a recent Judicial Watch article... The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics†that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,†“advocating women’s rights,†“any criticism of pedophilia,†“directing any criticism towards Afghans,†“mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct†or “anything related to Islam.â€
#2 The Obama administration has banned all U.S. government agencies from producing any training materials that link Islam with terrorism. In fact, the FBI has gone back and purged references to Islam and terrorism from hundreds of old documents.
#3 Authorities are cracking down on public expressions of the Christian faith all over the nation, and yet atheists in New York City are allowed to put up an extremely offensive billboard in Time Square this holiday season that shows a picture of Jesus on the cross underneath a picture of Santa with the following tagline: "Keep the Merry! Dump the Myth!"
#4 According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against criminals because it has a "disproportionate" impact on minorities.
#5 Down in California, Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that will allow large numbers of illegal immigrants to legally get California driver's licenses.
#6 Should an illegal immigrant be able to get a law license and practice law in the United States? That is exactly what the State Bar of California argued earlier this year... An illegal immigrant applying for a law license in California should be allowed to receive it, the State Bar of California argues in a filing to the state Supreme Court. Sergio Garcia, 35, of Chico, Calif., has met the rules for admission, including passing the bar exam and the moral character review, and his lack of legal status in the United States should not automatically disqualify him, the Committee of Bar Examiners said Monday.
#7 More than 75 percent of the babies born in Detroit are born to unmarried women, yet it is considered to be "politically correct" to suggest that there is anything wrong with that.
#8 The University of Minnesota - Duluth (UMD) initiated an aggressive advertising campaign earlier this year that included online videos, billboards, and lectures that sought to raise awareness about "white privilege".
#9 At one high school down in California, five students were sent home from school for wearing shirts that displayed the American flag on the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo.#10 Chris Matthews of MSNBC recently suggested that it is "racist" for conservatives to use the word "Chicago".
#11 A judge down in North Carolina has ruled that it is unconstitutional for North Carolina to offer license plates that say "Choose Life" on them.
#12 The number of gay characters on television is at an all-time record high. Meanwhile, there are barely any strongly Christian characters to be found anywhere on television or in the movies, and if they do happen to show up they are almost always portrayed in a very negative light.
#13 House Speaker John Boehner recently stripped key committee positions from four "rebellious" conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. It is believed that this "purge" happened in order to send a message that members of the party better fall in line and support Boehner in his negotiations with Barack Obama.
#14 There is already a huge push to have a woman elected president in 2016. It doesn't appear that it even matters which woman is elected. There just seems to be a feeling that "it is time" for a woman to be elected even if she doesn't happen to be the best candidate.
#15 Volunteer chaplains for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department have been banned from using the name of Jesus on government property.
#16 Chaplains in the U.S. military are being forced to perform gay marriages, even if it goes against their personal religious beliefs. The few chaplains that have refused to follow orders know that it means the end of their careers.
#17 All over the country, the term "manhole" is being replaced with the terms "utility hole" or "maintenance hole".
#18 In San Francisco, authorities have installed small plastic "privacy screens" on library computers so that perverts can continue to exercise their "right" to watch pornography at the library without children being exposed to it.
#19 You will never guess what is going on at one college up in Washington state... A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a transgender man from exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents.
#20 All over America, liberal commentators are now suggesting that football has become "too violent" and "too dangerous" and that it needs to be substantially toned down. In fact, one liberal columnist for the Boston Globe is even proposing that football should be banned for anyone under the age of 14.

The UN agendas 21, 22 and 2030 must be eliminated. Moreover the permanent removal of the Establishment/Elitists pukes along with their people is a start. Fuck the two parties.

9 Cities And States Impose Travel Bans Over Anti-Gay Laws 9 Cities And States Impose Travel Bans Over Anti-Gay Laws
Some officials don't want taxpayer money spent on trips to Mississippi or North Carolina
By Brian Patrick Byrne and Leon Markovitz
Apr 06, 2016 at 5:41 AM ET
At least nine cities and states have banned state travel to Mississippi or North Carolina over fresh legislation critics have slammed as discriminatory.
In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill on Tuesday allowing religious organizations and some businesses to refuse service to LGBT people, sparking a wave of city mayors and state governors nationwide to declare a halt on travel to Mississippi. The bans generally apply to state employees and forbid non-essential travel on the taxpayer’s dime.
One of those bans emerged from New York State, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order banning travel to Mississippi for “all New York State agencies, departments, boards and commissions,†effective immediately. Explaining his decision, Cuomo on Tuesday said: “Discrimination is not a New York value.â€
Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray imposed similar bans on Tuesday, with Murray stating: “Seattle will continue to speak out against injustice and stand with those fighting for equality.†Vermont also announced a travel ban to the southern state, the Associated Press reported.
In Mississippi, Bryant signed the bill into law despite calls from the Mississippi Manufacturers Association for lawmakers to reconsider. The association said in a Monday statement it feared “that future economic development opportunities will be jeopardized†if the bill wasn’t vetoed, and noted how other states dealing with similar legislation have attracted “negative attention.â€
Much of that negative attention in recent days has focused on North Carolina, where a new law has been widely criticized as being anti-LGBT: It requires that people only use restrooms that correspond with their biological sex rather than the gender they identify with. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill, called HB2, on March 24, prompting legislators in New York State, San Francisco, D.C., Seattle, Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Vermont and Minnesota to announce state travel bans to North Carolina.
As part of the backlash, PayPal also announced on Tuesday it was canceling its planned extension in Charlotte that would have provided 400 jobs. PayPal’s president and CEO, Dan Schulman, said in a statement that the law “perpetuates discrimination and it violates the values and principles that are at the core of PayPal’s mission and culture.â€
Georgia recently rejected a bill that could have had similar repercussions. In late March, its governor decided to veto a bill that would allow religious groups to fire people who breach their “sincerely held†religious beliefs, amid a warning from the NFL that it would pull Atlanta’s bid to host the Super Bowl if the state’s laws did not reflect its inclusive policies.
Fuck's sake this is some 1984 shit.
"Want to visit your family in Mississippi? FUCK YOU HOMOPHOBE!!! NOT HAPPENING!!!"
The Mississippi law, I don't agree with. I think a company should have a right NOT to make a cake for a gay wedding or NOT provide any particular service they don't agree with...but a a store or restaurant shouldn't be able to have a policy of not serving gays. That's just bald Jim Crow type discrimination. That said, I think any business checks to see if someone is gay or not and then turns money away based on that is going to go out of business by natural selection of the free market anyway...
Backlash to the NC law I think is absurd. Men can't follow little girls into the bathroom under the guise of "identifying" as a female. Any 16 year old high school kid can't say "Yeah, I prefer to gaze upon tits & puss when I shower after gym class and also like chicks looking at my dick, so therefore I identify as female." THE HORROR!
The reaction to BOTH laws is ridiculous. State travel bans? Fucking seriously? You can travel to any Islamic country that throws gays off of buildings but not where they MIGHT get discriminated against by a pizza place? PayPal is saying they won't do business where men can't "identify" however they want in order to listen to women pee, but is perfectly fine operating where it is codified law that homosexuality is punishable BY DEATH or 20+ years in prison?

I've had enough of this shit.
I think we need to take out a map and divide the country up.
Just draw a dividing line somewhere through maybe North Dakota down through part of Texas. Everything west of that line will be Afri-Homo-Liba-Topia. Bernie can be its president. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson can lead the Congress. Elton John can be the Secretary of Song. Doogie Howser can be the Surgeon General.
Those of us over here in the East will wait about 25 years and then reclaim it all. Because there won't be anybody or anything left.

More of a north/South thing... Again!
It's different this time...East vs West
-
I've had enough of this shit.
I think we need to take out a map and divide the country up.
Just draw a dividing line somewhere through maybe North Dakota down through part of Texas. Everything west of that line will be Afri-Homo-Liba-Topia. Bernie can be its president. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson can lead the Congress. Elton John can be the Secretary of Song. Doogie Howser can be the Surgeon General.
Those of us over here in the East will wait about 25 years and then reclaim it all. Because there won't be anybody or anything left.

And the first citizen of Handoutville in the socialist state of Govteat in the nation of Afri-Homo-Liba-Topia speaks!
Too bad he lives in a cave and will have starved by June because all the evil rich moved east and there isn't anyone from which to extract his housing and food allowances. But doesn't he make pretty Bernie banners out of the dirt and rocks outside his hovel?

This forum will call me a liberal pink faggot, while mainstream culture will call me a hateful bigot for this reasoned central position, but I'm perfectly fine with saying I don't care what's on your birth certificate or your chromosomal arrangement. If you get the surgery and can no longer piss in a urinal, then fine, you get to use the ladies' room. Sorry Caitlyn, wearing a dress & makeup doesn't physically make you a woman. Cut it off, and you can piss where you like.
I get that it can be MORE off-putting for a post-op tranny to piss in the men's room. I get the intent of the people all up in arms about it. But it so very obviously and clearly can be abused to give free range to perverts to wave their dick at nude women & girls.
I can't believe there hasn't already been a scurge of trolling high school kids "identifying" as girls so they can shower with their female classmates, if for no other reason than to prove a point. This is not a wild hypothetical. This already happened in Washington.

Was the "Twitterverse" up in arms over this, or did the usual suspects interject racism into a situation where there clearly was none? I don't answer the critics. Don't even tell them to fuck off.

This became a huge national story after being picked up by the Washington Post.

But I'll post the original blog of the humorless bitch that doesn't get invited to parties and should have been left off the Snapchat feed.
https://jamaicaponder.wordpress.com/2016/04/06/drinking-games/
Hey again!
Today I’m coming to you live from the futon in my room with some fresh off the boat debauchery straight from the students of Princeton High School. This here is even more appalling than the usual stuff. Honestly, it’s ridiculous- but it would be even more ridiculous for me to come across such ignorance and not utilize it as an example for anyone else harboring the misconception that they can walk around doing dumb stuff like this and not get called out. So here we are.
(https://jamaicaponder.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/img_3601.jpg?w=768)
Right off of Snapchat in a harrowingly recognizable basement, with our classmates front and center. And no, your eyes aren’t playing a trick on you. Yes, that’s a swastika. Double yes- they’re playing Jews vs Nazis beer pong. No again, this isn’t a joke.
Well, perhaps it is a joke. But then I guess the punchline would be: genocide. Pardon me if I don’t find that to be hilarious. The real joke here is that these kids weren’t only insensitive enough to play the game, but also silly enough to post it on Snapchat and leave it there long enough for me, and several others, to take a screenshot.
Putting the picture on social media means that someone was proud enough of the game to want to show it off. Meaning that they must be trapped in the delusional mindset that making a drinking game based off of the Holocaust is cool. Or funny. Or anything besides insane. Because that’s what this is: insanity.
I’m not even Jewish and I’m still offended. This type of behavior makes me believe that this group of guys would readily play “pin the noose on the black,†just as readily as they incorporated an “Anne Frank†cup in their noxious little game of pong. Yes, that happened. No, you can’t just make this stuff up.
See, the thing is, if I were in the presence of a bunch of racist teenage boys, who thought it was a good idea to play drinking games which served as a direct reflection of exactly how racist they are, I wouldn’t hesitate to let them know that they’re being racist. But what’s odd is that here, there are Jewish kids partaking in the game. I kid you not- I went to one of these guy’s bar mitzvah. I think what’s most confusing to me is that they chose to participate in this heinous, anti-Semitic activity as opposed to trying to shut it down. I don’t get it.
And on top of that, why does the implication that this is even remotely okay exist in the first place? Who is permitting these deranged ideologies to develop and materialize in the form of beer pong? We are. Evidently, as a society, we have gone wrong in some way, shape or form. Because the moment that the Holocaust became a running joke was the moment that ignorance outweighed intellect- and that is the death of compassion for human life.
I know I’m not the only one who saw this Snapchat story. Yet here I am, the only one saying anything about it. I am unsure as to what’s worse: the static silence from my peers, or the fact that this happened in the first place.
This is indefensible. You can’t make excuses for stuff like this, just like you can’t make excuses for the KKK or 9/11 or the slaughter of 6 million people. Some things are just bad, and this is one of them. Maybe you think I’m overreacting, or that I don’t know how to take a joke. If this is the joke, if this is supposed to be funny- well then you’ll have to excuse me because I simply cannot drink to that.
Until next time,
-Jamaica☆
Comedy = Tragedy + Time. These kids weren't endorsing the Holocaust. This wasn't something some institution endorsed. This was high school kids fucking around as a joke that honestly I could see high school me doing something right along these lines and wouldn't have considered for a second that it could land me at the heart of a national outrage mob.
I like that Jewish people were there and thought it was funny and weren't offended and saw it as a fucking joke, which it clearly was and she is BAFFLED by their lack of outrage. She even italicized "get" in "I don't get it." Like, literally she can't even.

Reading stuff like that makes me so thankful that I grew up in the age prior to social media. It also makes me fear for my kids' future. How can you live from ages 13 - 25(ish) and not royally screw up? Now you have to worry about it being forever cemented on the internet where it can haunt you the rest of your life.

True. Its because:

Tulane students fire back at fraternity's pro-Trump wall
By Oona Goodin-Smith, Oakland University 9:00 am EDT April 13, 2016
A wall of sandbags constructed last Thursday and emblazoned with pro-Trump slogans, built by the Kappa Alpha Order chapter at Tulane University in front of its house, was dismantled on Tuesday. The rhetoric was a joke, the fraternity says, but many aren’t laughing.
According to a statement emailed from the campus’ chapter to USA TODAY College, the premise of the wall, built Thursday as part of the New Orleans school fraternity’s yearly tradition to have pledges erect a barrier, was meant to “mock the ideologies of a political candidateâ€:
“Our chapter takes KA’s values of gentlemanly conduct very seriously. This respect extends to every student of Tulane and every member of the broader community. The comment was written on a makeshift wall on our private property, normally used for a game of capture the flag, to mock the ideologies of a political candidate. This had an unintended negative effect and as such it has been dismantled.â€
However, students like freshman Khristyan Trejo, a member of student organization Students Organizing Against Racism (SOAR), say it was offensive.
“This really pushed it overboard for students of color on campus,†says Trejo. “It’s one thing to see an endorsement of Trump on campus — that’s freedom of speech — but it’s another to see the wall when it’s a symbol of racism and oppression. As someone with family across the (Mexico-United States) border and knowing people are murdered at the border every day, for (KA) to treat it as a joke and try to justify their actions with satire — well, it’s not a joke to students of color.â€
“It’s all just plain disgusting to see this happening in the U.S., the ‘melting pot’ of the world,†Tulane freshman Claire Cruz tells USA TODAY College. “As a Latina on a mostly all-white campus, I am constantly seeing little acts of racism and white privilege, but this huge act was a slap in my face. Not only do I feel as if my safety has been threatened, but also my humanity is being completely written off.â€
It’s unclear who took the wall down, but various campus multicultural organizations, including SOAR, protested it, and asked others to, as well.
In addition, a petition to “stand against the wall†posted on change.org circulated on social media.
According to the organization’s website, the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity, founded in 1865, cites American General Robert E. Lee, perhaps best-known for commanding the Confederate Army in the Civil War, as its “spiritual founder.†In 2001, the national KA established a law distancing itself from use of the Confederate flag, and in 2010, it announced a ban on its members wearing Confederate soldier uniforms to its traditional “Old South†ball.
A Tulane University spokesperson emailed the following statement to USA TODAY College: “Every spring the Kappa Alpha (KA) fraternity erects a wall around its chapter house, which is on private property. The leadership of KA’s local chapter says that adding Donald Trump’s name and slogan to this year’s wall was done in order to satirize the candidate’s campaign promise, not to show support for him. The wall has since been dismantled.â€
A) It is now considered objectively racist and against school policy to openly support one of the two main political party candidates on your personal property?
B) Pretty sure they weren't even supporting him. Pretty sure this was satirical mockery.
C) They have an annual tradition to build a wall around their house. It's a pretty fucking OBVIOUS joke to make a Trump reference right now if you're building a wall around anything...
:facepalm:
-
Also, the pledges objectively failed their duty to "protect the wall" since it was taken down.
Better not see them around the KA house.

This is in Australia. The US can't be far behind for this type of dipshittery.

QUT student faces $200,000 bill in Facebook post racism row
April 15 2016 - 1:32PM
A university student accused of racial discrimination over a Facebook post has amassed a hefty legal bill, which could blow out to $200,000 if the case goes to trial.
Alex Wood is being sued under the Racial Discrimination Act over a 2013 post he wrote after being asked to leave a Queensland University of Technology computer lab reserved for the use of Indigenous students.
"Just got kicked out of the unsigned Indigenous computer room. QUT is stopping segregation with segregation," he posted on a Facebook page called QUT Stalker Space.
The post attracted comments critical of both the incident and the existence of the Indigenous-only space.
"I wonder where the white supremacist lab is," wrote another student, Jackson Powell, who is also being sued.
The third student involved in the lawsuit, Calum Thwaites, has emphatically denied being responsible for a post that included a reference to "ITT N-----s" and has produced a volume of evidence supporting his denial.
The trio are being sued, alongside the university and two staff, by the administration officer who asked Mr Wood to leave the room, Cindy Prior.
An Indigenous woman, Ms Prior went on sick leave following the incident and reports she felt unsafe leaving her home because she was afraid somebody would say something offensive to her.
She also says she was unable to return to work in a role that required her to have face-to-face contact with white people.
Ms Prior is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
Lawyers for the students have sought to have the case dismissed in the Federal Court, citing a lack of legal basis to contend their clients had breached the act and labelling the lawsuit an abuse of process.
Judge Michael Jarrett has reserved his decision.
It is understood the trio's lawyers have spent several hundred hours defending the action.
A legal source told AAP the costs of defending the proceeding would have already run into tens of thousands of dollars for Mr Wood and could rise to about $200,000 if the case went to trial.
The cumulative bill for the students to defend the case at trial could be more than $500,000.
The trio have also hit out at QUT, claiming they were kept in the dark about Ms Prior's complaint to the Human Rights Commission and, therefore, deprived of having the matter thrown out earlier.
Under the Racial Discrimination Act, complainants must go through a conciliation process before a Federal Court action can be launched and the Human Rights Commission says more than half of all section 18C cases have been resolved at that level.
But the students were not made aware of the complaint until days before a final conference with the commission, despite the matter having been underway for 12 months, and Mr Wood claims a QUT lawyer told him he did not need to attend.
QUT's law firm, Minter Ellison, admits one of its solicitors told Mr Wood his presence was not required but denies she discouraged him from attending.
Like most "equality" stories like this, replace the white person's race with any other and see what stark raving lunacy this is.
-Kicked out of a computer lab for being the wrong race.
-Complained on social media that segregation is wrong.
-GOT THE SHIT SUED OUT OF HIM FOR COMPLAINING.

The Daily Caller News Foundation is attending the 17th annual White Privilege Conference in Philadelphia, held April 15-17. The following is part of a series of articles concerning events at the conference.
A professional education consultant and teacher trainer argued at the White Privilege Conference (WPC) in Philadelphia that great teachers must also be liberal activists, and described in detail her goal for destroying the “white supremacist†nature of modern education.
Heather Hackman operates Hackman Consulting Group and was formerly a professor of multicultural education at Minnesota’s St. Cloud State University, where she taught future teachers. On Friday, Hackman was given a platform at WPC to deliver a workshop with the lengthy title “No Freedom Unless We Call Out the Wizard Behind The Curtain: Critically Addressing the Corrosive Effects of Whiteness in Teacher Education and Professional Development.†The long title masked a simple thesis on Hackman’s part: Modern education is hopelessly tainted by white supremacy and the “white imperial gaze,†and the solution is to train prospective teachers in college to be activists as well as pedagogues.
In fact, Hackman argued teachers shouldn’t even bother teaching if they aren’t committed to promoting social justice in school.
“Education is not about the mere reproduction of knowledge,†Hackman said. “Education is the practice of freedom. And as a result, we have to have [teaching] students becomes activists as well as teachers.â€
Creating educators who are proper activists, Hackman continued, means training them to not only to encourage diversity but also to engage with the systemic oppression she says is pervasive in the entire educational system. In Hackman’s telling, virtually everything associated with being a good student in modern education is actually just a tool of racist white supremacy.
“The racial narrative of White tends to be like this: Rugged individual, honest, hard-working, disciplined, rigorous, successful,†she said. “And so then, the narrative of U.S. public education: Individual assessments, competition, outcome over process (I care more about your grades than how you’re doing), ‘discipline’ where we care more about your attendance and making sure you’re not tardy than we care about your relationships … proper English must be spoken (which is just assimilation into standard U.S. dialect), hierarchical power structure, and heavy goal orientation.â€
While the traits listed may simply be regarded as positive traits for success in the modern world, Hackman described them as specific cultural traits chosen and emphasized to favor whites to the detriment of non-white groups, who are forced to assimilate white traits such as good discipline and goal orientation or else be left behind.
Hackman’s natural solution, then, is to train teachers to move away from all these aspects of white privilege in education. She routinely touted the benefits of collective assessments (measuring student learning at the class level instead of determining whether each student knows the material), as well as eliminating all school grades entirely.
Hackman said when she was a professor, she freely employed these methods with her own students. She once let a student complete an essay assignment as a graphic novel, and allowed students to write in non-standard English or even foreign languages she herself couldn’t read.
“If I don’t know [your language,] frankly, that’s my issue,†she said. “All I need to know is that you’re thinking about it, I don’t really care how you do it.â€
But Hackman acknowledged in the current white supremacist system, there is some expectation that teachers will know conventional English and possess other basic knowledge. As a result, she admitted modern activist teachers should try to learn those things sufficiently to get a job, but only for the purpose of infiltrating schools to change them from within.
“My long game was, get you in, get you tenured, get you in that system and change that system,†she said.
The need for change is pressing, Hackman said, because the current white supremacist school system is literally killing off non-white Americans.
“Inside, I am screaming,†she said.
She predicted her approach will triumph, and the sinister force she dubbed “Super-Whitey†(and compared to the Eye of Sauron) will eventually be swept aside.
“Your time has come,†Hackman said. “If I was a white faculty member and unwilling to get with the program, I do not have any business in teacher education … We do see you, Super-Whitey. We’re coming for you.â€

White Privilege Conference Attendees Complain Conference Is Too White
The Daily Caller News Foundation attended the 17th Annual White Privilege Conference in Philadelphia, held April 15-17. The following is part of a series of articles concerning events at the conference.
Disaffected participants in the 2016 White Privilege Conference (WPC) have taken to Twitter to complain that the conference was, ironically, too white and was actually filled to the brim with white supremacy.
Adopting the hashtag #WPCSoWhite, inspired by the recent #OscarsSoWhite campaign, Twitter users claimed the conference that was supposed to battle white privilege instead served to entrench it.
The tag appears to have been started and pushed with particular vigor by Aeriel Ashlee, an education consultant who attended WPC and objected to several parts of a keynote address delivered by (white) historian James Loewen.
She said Loewen’s rhetoric, which was solidly progressive throughout, actually entrenched white supremacy, partly because his speech allegedly lasted too long. When Loewen attempted to defend himself, Ashlee said that any defense was invalid and only further showed his white supremacy.
Aeriel A. Ashlee ‎@aerielashlee
Great keynote by @JamesWLoewen, but going over time allotted is another example of white supremacy #WPCsowhite #PHLWPC17
James W. Loewen ‎@JamesWLoewen
@aerielashlee Dr.Moore told me, just before I started, to take one hour. I took exactly 53 minutes.
Aeriel A. Ashlee ‎@aerielashlee
A white man's defensiveness instead of accepting responsibility #WPCsowhite #PHLWPC17 @JamesWLoewen @jillmarette99 @TheeKWard @got_privilege
Others ganged up on Loewen for using the N-word during his speech, which dealt heavily with racist sentiments throughout American history. One even described Loewen’s comments as “deeply offensive and traumatizing.â€
Heather Heater ‎@heaterMPH
I'm not ok with using oppressive & racist language by a white man in the "service" of learning @JamesWLoewen #WPCsowhite
TastefulIntuition ‎@TheeKWard
We talk about taking action to dismantle white supremacy yet not much response on Loewen's use of the N-word #WPCSoWhite #PHLWPC17
Jill Poklemba ‎@jillmarette99
N-word NEVER acceptable from #whitefolks lips! Deeply offensive & traumatizing. @JamesWLoewen #WPCSoWhite #PHLWPC17 https://twitter.com/TheeKWard/status/721366267895136256 …
The #WPCSoWhite label was used to go after more than Loewen’s speech, though. Users also complained about everything from the hairstyles of white attendees to the “ridiculously unsafe†environment that apparently existed (TheDCNF noticed no evidence of any violence or otherwise dangerous behavior during the three-day conference).

A white woman telling a black woman to close the door at a workshop session. Another example of #WPCsowhite #PHLWPC17 @got_privilege
Another attendee even denounced a white male at the conference for selling a book that was, in her view, too expensive.
Immy White ‎@Immy_White
Angry all over again at white male facilitator from Friday AM has disgraceful book on sale for more than 2x cost of@any other book.
Immy White ‎@Immy_White
@Immy_White white men capitalising off #PHLWPC17 is one of the many examples of #WPCsowhite
TheDCNF estimates about 70 percent of attendees were white.
A regular ticket to the conference, purchased in advance, cost $375, and the cheapest ticket (for college students) was still $200. Attendees hoping to attend a special Saturday night dinner or special bonus sessions could end up spending hundreds more, and most attendees also had to cope with lodging and travel costs. Having the free time and money to attend a three-day conference, it turns out, may be the most privileged thing of all.

Sorry to do this to your boner, but...
So some free speech advocates Milo Yiannopoulos, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Steven Crowder went to The University of Massachussetts to give a co-panel event. Basically the dynamic is that Milo trolls with intentionally inflammatory criticisms of feminism, Sommers gives reasoned, thoughtful criticism of third wave feminism and "safe spaces", "trigger warnings", etc., and then Crowder was going to do a standup routine. Of course, ironically and yet predictably, the free speech summit was interrupted by people who wanted to shut it down.
This was Crowder's reaction.

From a scifi writer I like..
https://www.facebook.com/larry.correia?fref=nf
Many of you may have seen Trigglypuff. If you are unfamiliar, I suggest the link below.
I fully support her right to self identify as a screaming cartoon creature, but I do have to take exception with one thing. She says: "If I were an animal, I’d be a manatee because they’re basically giant sea teddy bears!"
Now, as someone who has worked closely with a manatee for many years, this offended me. So I brought it to the attention of CorreiaTech CFO, Wendell T. Manatee. We had an enlightening conversation about how manatee politics, as as usual, Wendell was wise and eloquent.
First off, they are not "giant sea teddy bears" and that is racist. Wendell pointed out that he is a proud Aquatic American, not some mere caricature of an Ursine American. Wendell was offended, but since he isn't a wussy SJW, he wasn't triggered, and quickly got back to pwning newbs at Call Of Duty.
But if she knew more about the proud Manatee culture, she wouldn't be so quick to identify as one.
Little does Trigglypuff realize that the noble manatee species is overwhelmingly conservative. For example, as a Florida Mammal, Wendell was an early Marco Rubio supporter, though they did disagree on immigration. (The manatees poll as very opposed to open borders ever since the invasion of the Deep Ones)
Yes, there are some outspoken liberal manatees, but the rest of the manatees don't put up with their crap. Liberal manatees are always whining "swooooooo" which basically means "Why should 1% of the aquatic mammals get 99% of the lettuce?"
But since Manatees vote about 80% republican (they are like Mormons that way) their response to Occupy Tampa Bay was "meeeeearp" which means "get a job, you lazy Narwhal". I'm a little fuzzy on the sociology here, but I suspect liberal manatees talk about Narwhals the same way Bernie supporters use Denmark.
I think Trigglypuff should check her privilege and quit culturally appropriating their look. But Wendell told me that much like the Japanese giving kimonos as gifts to westerners, the noble manatee does not believe in "cultural appropriation", and are happy when land mammals choose to cover their bodies in insulating fat so they may remain comfortable in the ocean.
Such wisdom...

We're socially engineering generations of mentally neutered, entitled, self-centered adult children who can only get angry at inconsequential bullshit instead of critically thinking about what's really wrong with the world happening all around them. Part of this includes the PC destruction of language for not being "inclusive" enough, turning otherwise harmless words into weapons of mass distraction. The entire reason for Orwell's destruction of language was to literally narrow the person's ability to think certain thoughts. It's beyond thought crime, and it's happening right here, right now. Doesn't matter what year your calendar says, it's 1984.

I've been reading that Declaration of Independence all wrong. I always thought it said:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
But it actually reads:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women, those who aren't sure what they are, those who think they are something different than how they were born, those in the process of changing their gender, those who prefer their own gender, those who are from other planets, those who identify as animals, and anything else under the sun are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, no, not their Creator, but the flying spaghetti monster or whatever they think made them with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, plus the absolute and undeniable right to never be subjected to anything that might hurt their feelings in any way whatsoever, as well as the right to consider themselves special and deserving of preferential treatment even when their own comfort inconveniences everyone else around them. This does not, however, extend to anyone who wishes to smoke tobacco, you will be ostracized. If you'll just vape, though, you can exhale massive stinking clouds with no recourse in any place you desire.

Oxford: Law Students Do Not Have to Learn About Rape or Violence Law If It’s Too Triggering
by KATHERINE TIMPF May 10, 2016 4:44 PM
Oxford University’s undergraduate law professors are providing “trigger warnings†before lessons about rape or violent crime so that students who might be made uncomfortable by such material can leave.
“Before the lectures on sexual offences — which included issues such as rape and sexual assault — we were warned that the content could be distressing, and were then given the opportunity to leave if we needed to,†one student said, according to an article in the Daily Mail.
This is, obviously, insane. Students are in law classes, presumably, because they have an interest in potentially pursuing a career in law. And the people in these fields — prosecutors, judges, attorneys, etc. — certainly cannot just up and leave the courtroom any time they feel uncomfortable.
After all, law jobs, by their very nature, in large part deal with things that are illegal — things which, by nature, are often uncomfortable or even downright disturbing. If you can’t handle talking about it in class, then you can’t handle those careers.
Now, this sounds like it should be obvious, but Oxford is far from the first place we’ve seen this idiotic logic at play. In fact, Harvard Law School professor Jeannie Suk wrote a piece in The New Yorker back in 2014 explaining that “student organizations representing women’s interests†have been so successful in pushing the idea that students “should not feel pressured to attend or participate in class sessions that focus on the law of sexual violence†that “even seasoned teachers of criminal law, at law schools across the country, have confided that they are seriously considering dropping rape law and other topics related to sex and gender violence . . . because they are afraid of injuring others or being injured themselves.â€
This isn’t just annoying or stupid — it’s actually dangerous. After all, rape law’s being too “triggering†to teach will result in fewer people knowing how to prosecute rapists. It’s putting the misguided, abstract idea of achieving an emotional “safe space†above actual safety in a real, tangible way. Clearly, it’s time to wake up and take a look at our priorities — fast.

Iraq War vet says he was brutally beaten by a group of teens after they asked him if he believed 'that black lives matter'
BY LAURA BULT
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Updated: Tuesday, February 16, 2016, 2:31 PM
An Iraq war veteran claims he was brutally attacked by a group of teenagers after he didn't respond when they asked if he believed “that black lives matter.â€
Police are investigating a report that Chris Marquez, a decorated Marine, was eating at a Washington D.C. McDonald’s when a group of rowdy teens approached him Friday night.
"They asked me if I believe that black lives matter," Marquez told WJLA News.
Washington D.C. police said the suspects, all of whom are black, were three young men and one young woman. They said they aren't currently considering the incident a hate crime.

"I felt threatened and thought they were trying to intimidate me, so I figured I'm just going to keep to my food, eat my food and hopefully they'll leave me alone. And because I wasn't responding back to them, they were calling me a racist,†Marquez said.
What happened next is blurry, according to Marquez, but he was told by the McDonald’s manager that the pack of teens followed him outside and jumped him.
“As soon as I walked out of the McDonald’s I got hit in the back of the head, or the side of the head. I just dropped to the ground, and he says I looked unconscious,†Marquez told WJLA.
The vet said that the teens took off with his wallet, including his credit cards, which they immediately used.
Marquez had signs of the beating — cuts on his forehead — and says he is still in pain from the attack due to head and neck injuries.

“My head really hurts. I get this sharp pain, straight down my face, and I haven’t really slept too well at all since it happened,†said Marquez, who served eight years in Iraq, who added that the attack reminded him of combat.
Marquez is the subject of the “No Man Left Behind†statues, at Camp Lejuene and Camp Pendleton, depicting him and another man holding up a wounded soldier at the Battle of Fallujah.
“Kinda brought back memories of the war and stuff,†he added.
Police said they are reviewing surveillance footage from the McDonalds but have not made any arrests.

A display at Dartmouth College honoring law enforcement officers was removed Friday and replaced with Black Lives Matter signs after just one day, members of the Dartmouth College Republicans said.
In place of the “Blue Lives Matter†tribute, which was created during National Police Week, were four fliers reading: “You cannot co-opt the movement against state violence to memorialize its perpetrators. #blacklivesmatter,†The Dartmouth Review reported.
“The next morning we got up and we saw that our display was torn apart and replaced with Black Lives Matter posters,†Dartmouth College Republicans President Michelle Knesbach told Fox News on Monday.
Mikala Williams, a student involved in replacing the police display with Black Lives Matter literature, said the tribute to cops undermined concerns about police brutality.
"By framing that as '[Blue Lives Matter,' it normalizes and naturalizes violence against people of color in this country," she told The Dartmouth. "And that is not okay. That is in no way okay."
Knesbach, however, said the activism went beyond the billboard revamp.
“Throughout the entirety of the day, 25 Black Lives Matter protesters were standing in front of billboards,†she told On the Record's Greta Van Susteren. “Not only did they replace our billboard with their display, they also replaced all of the other billboards in the student center with Black Lives Matter posters and posted pictures of our club members’ faces with ‘Sons of Old Dartmouth’ written over it.â€
School administrators reportedly didn’t respond or condemn the incident until two days later. College President Phil Hanlon sent a campus-wide email Sunday calling the initial remove of the police display "an unacceptable violation of freedom of expression." But Hanlon also equated the billboard drama to a November incident in which Black Lives Matter t-shirts were removed from a display.
Initially, the College Republicans were not allowed to replace the
police display due to “safety and security†concerns, Knesbach said.
But Collins Center director Anna Hall told The Dartmouth that the Black Lives Matter posters were taken down Saturday morning to allow the reposting of the police tribute.
A sign on the board Sunday night read "We will not be silenced, Blue Lives Matter,†according to The Dartmouth.

Scanning the front page of the foxynews and saw this little blurb. Some people thought referencing Baby Got Back was racially insensitive? :facepalm: These people walk among us, folks.
Blake Lively's Instagram post is causing quite a stir on social media.
The actress posted side-by-side front and back shots of herself on the red carpet in Cannes, France, with the caption, "L.A. face with an Oakland booty," a line from rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot's 1992 hit, "Baby Got Back."
The post has received more than 600,000 likes, but is also generating a flurry of comments. Some commenters say the actress' post is racially insensitive.
People magazine reported last month that the 28-year-old Lively is expecting her second child with husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. Her film "Cafe Society" made its premiere at Cannes last week.
An email sent to her representatives was not immediately returned.

Hate to be "well, actually...." guy.
But...
Actually, that lyric is from Mix a Lot's song "I Got Game" on his Seminar album. The line was sampled and included in "Baby Got Back", but a sample is not, technically, a lyric.
Fucking journalists get it wrong again.

You are racially insensitive for even posting this story. White bitch.

9 out of 10 Native Americans do not give a fuck about the "Washington Redskins" name.

Funny too that they had to write an entirely separate piece regarding their pretty relatively flawless methodology and posting a link to all the white guardian heroes questioning it (because they know better than the "victims" and they also know better than the statistical facts).

It's funny that this even had to be written, as the Washington Post of all people led the charge to change the name. They're the blowhards that declared they would henceforth refer to them as "the team from Washington".

Here's the insanity of it all. Missouri gives in to "activists" who are basically shutting the school down over false claims and flat out lies, force out those at the top and it's been biting them in the ass since. Donations and enrollment down. They're losing money and now, they want to spend millions on a diversity audit and hiring more people to police diversity? foxynewsdot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth.
The University of Missouri, which was rocked by race protests last year that toppled its two leaders, caused its biggest donors to retreat and dampened interest among prospective students, will spend more than $1 million to audit its diversity policies.
In addition to the $1.1 million audit, the UM System also plans to spend $2 million on other diversity initiatives, including the hiring of a chief diversity officer and systemwide task force, the Missourian reported earlier this week.
IBIS Consulting Group will conduct the comprehensive audit, interviewing students, professors and staff on all four campuses in the UM System, according to a news release.
“This assessment will help us understand where we stand in comparison to our peer institutions and best practices in higher education,†said Michael Middleton, the interim president, who assumed the position in November after the protests forced the resignation of Tim Wolfe.
In late April, Heat Street requested a comprehensive breakdown of Mizzou’s new expenditures on diversity, equity and inclusion, but it has not yet received a response, despite numerous follow-ups.
Several Mizzou students told Heat Street that while a handful of racist incidents on campus in recent years disturbed them, they do not believe there’s a systemic problem.
Other student activists said the administration had been willing to work with students to address racism, adding that the protestors last fall—which included a seven-day hunger strike by graduate student Jonathan Butler—did more harm than good. They added that the protests not only disrupted normal campus operations, including the cancelation of classes, but also hindered longtime collaboration between student organizations and university officials to improve diversity and create opportunities for minority students.

Well, we've officially arrived at the pinnacle of PC. Apparently, they are editing the word "jap" from some of John Wayne's WWII movies. We will hear a silence instead. WITF is wrong with people?
My source, is a friend who posted the following on facepages.
Last night. I was watching the Sands Of Iwo Jima staring John Wayne. Every time someone in the movie used the word Jap or Zip, it was silenced out. What the fuck? Have we really reached the bottom of the political correctness pit? Have we forgotten these slant eyed bastards sucker punched our nation at Pearl Harbor and lead us on a 4 year path of death and destruction? Have we forgotten the misery Japan inflicted on the indigenous people of the pacific? Have we forgotten the rape of Nanking China, or the horrors bestowed on the people of the Philippians? While im watching this political correct bullshit on my TV, our Magic Negro is over there apologizing to them. Instead of laying a wreath at Arlington this weekend, the Kenyan is placing a wreath over a 140,000 crispy Japs. Every Jap fried in those blasts deserved what they got. We have no reason to feel sorry for them. As far as editing movies to pander to the brainwashed morons here at home? Screw them too....The men that fought WW2, fought died hoping generations to come would never feel the horrors the victims of Japan and Germany felt. Little did they know their generation would produce something just as horrifying....The modern day Liberal Idiot

This is fucking Orwellian.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/6737/fbi-releases-part-orlando-terrorist-transcript-ben-shapiro
On Sunday, Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that the FBI would not be releasing the full transcript of the 911 phone call from the Orlando jihadist. That’s because it would offend people. Yes, really. “Well,†said Orwellian caricature Lynch, “what we’re not going to do is further proclaim this individual’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups and further his propaganda.â€
True to her word, Lynch and the FBI have now released a partial transcript. Here it is, beginning at 2:35 a.m.:
Orlando Police Dispatcher (OD)
Shooter (OM)
OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.
OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficial [in Arabic]
OD: What?
OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [in Arabic]. I let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
OD: What’s your name?
OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to [omitted].
OD: Ok, What’s your name?
OM: I pledge allegiance to [omitted] may God protect him [in Arabic], on behalf of [omitted].
OD: Alright, where are you at?
OM: In Orlando.
OD: Where in Orlando?
[End of call.]
There are two idiocies worth noting here. First, everyone on the planet knows that [Omitted] = ISIS. The only reasons to cut that out are to provide political cover for the FBI, which should have done a better job keeping track of the Orlando jihadist, and to provide political cover to the left’s push for gun control instead of the fighting radical Islam.
Second, the FBI releases a translated transcript here – and translated “Allah†as “God.†This, too, has a dual purpose: to pretend that “Allah†and the Judeo-Christian God are identical (they aren’t) and to link radical Islam with Christianity and Judaism. Is there any doubt whatsoever that if this shooter had used the terms “NRA†and “Jesus†instead of “ISIS†and “Allah,†we’d get the full transcript? Any doubt at all?
Lynch’s suggestion that she must censor facts in order to prevent propaganda demonstrates the nasty, propagandist nature of the Obama administration. And if reality won’t conform to their perceptions of it, reality must be silenced.
I think I solved the puzzle you guyz.

Why police were called to a South Jersey third-grade class party
by Emma Platoff
On June 16, police were called to an unlikely scene: an end-of-the-year class party at the William P. Tatem Elementary School in Collingswood.
A third grader had made a comment about the brownies being served to the class. After another student exclaimed that the remark was "racist," the school called the Collingswood Police Department, according to the mother of the boy who made the comment.
The police officer spoke to the student, who is 9, said the boy's mother, Stacy dos Santos, and local authorities.
Dos Santos said that the school overreacted and that her son made a comment about snacks, not skin color.
"He said they were talking about brownies. . . . Who exactly did he offend?" dos Santos said.
The boy's father was contacted by Collingswood police later in the day. Police said the incident had been referred to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency. The student stayed home for his last day of third grade.
Dos Santos said that her son was "traumatized," and that she hopes to send him to a different Collingswood public school in the fall.
And she wants an apology. She said she graduated from Collingswood High School and has two other children, a 21-year-old who also went through Collingswood schools, and a 3-year-old. Her husband, the third grader's father, is Brazilian, dos Santos said.
"I'm not comfortable with the administration [at Tatem]. I don't trust them and neither does my child," she said. "He was intimidated, obviously. There was a police officer with a gun in the holster talking to my son, saying, 'Tell me what you said.' He didn't have anybody on his side."
The incident, which has sparked outrage among some parents, was one of several in the last month when Collingswood police have been called to look into school incidents that parents think hardly merit criminal investigation.
Superintendent Scott Oswald estimated that on some occasions over the last month, officers may have been called to as many as five incidents per day in the district of 1,875 students.
This has created concern among parents in the 14,000-resident borough, who have phoned their elected officials, met with Mayor James Maley, blasted social-media message boards, and even launched a petition calling on the Camden County Prosecutor's Office to "stop mandated criminal investigation of elementary school students."
The increased police involvement follows a May 25 meeting among the Collingswood Police Department, school officials, and representatives from the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, where school officials and police both said they were told to report to police any incidents that could be considered criminal, including what Police Chief Kevin Carey called anything "as minor as a simple name-calling incident that the school would typically handle internally."
The police and schools were also advised that they should report "just about every incident" to the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency, Carey said.
Previously, the school district, following the state's Memorandum of Agreement Between Education and Law Enforcement Officials, had only reported incidents it deemed serious, like those involving weapons, drugs, or sexual misconduct. Both Carey and School Board President David Routzahn described the protocol set forth after that May meeting as a significant change in procedure.
"It was a pretty clear directive that we questioned vehemently," Oswald said.
But a month after the meeting, and after police investigations that parents consider fruitless had begun to gain attention, Maley wrote in a public letter that the May 25 meeting was intended to "reinforce the applicability" of the MOA, "not to expand its terms." Prosecutor Mary Eva Colalillo, in an accompanying statement, said she hoped Maley's message "clarifies" the responsibilities of school officials.
Maley said in an interview Tuesday that there had been a "misunderstanding" during the May 25 meeting. But Oswald said the Prosecutor's Office was shying away from its own instructions.
"At some point, it seems, they've realized that the intent of the MOA that they're leaning heavily upon is not what they directed us to do," Oswald said. "It went way above what that MOA says."
Another point of contention between the Prosecutor's Office and school officials is what prompted Maley's meeting in the first place.
In a public letter issued to parents Monday, Routzahn said he was "not aware of any single event" in the district that might have prompted the Prosecutor's Office to ask for a higher reporting standard.
But Maley said the Prosecutor's Office had been concerned about a "delay" in reporting an incident at Collingswood High School this spring. He would not comment further, noting that the incident was under investigation by the Prosecutor's Office.
Oswald said the high school incident had not been raised during the meeting May 25.
"I welcome discussion on that as well," he said.
Several parents said they consider the recent police involvement not only ridiculous but harmful.
Megan Irwin, who has two daughters who have attended Collingswood public schools and who teaches first grade in Pennsauken, said the police had been called to deal with behavior the schools could easily have handled.
"Some of it is just typical little-kid behavior," Irwin said. "Never in my years of teaching have I ever felt uncomfortable handling a situation or felt like I didn't know how to handle a situation."
And Pam Gessert, a Collingswood resident who works as a school counselor in Burlington County, said that because teachers have the best relationships with students, they are most qualified to determine what happened in a particular incident.
Most of all, parents said they were concerned that undue police involvement threatened their children's well-being.
"I don't want this to happen to another child," dos Santos said.

An indigenous woman in Calgary, Canada who yelled “I hate white people†before punching a white woman in the face and knocking her tooth out did not commit a racially motivated hate crime, a provincial court judge has ruled.
Judge Harry Van Harten’s written decision in the case argued that the motivation of the perpetrator, Tamara Crowchief, in the attack on the victim, Lydia White, was not related to racial bias.
The judge disagreed with the prosecutor’s argument that the unprovoked assault, which occurred in November 2015, rose to the level of a hate crime.
Van Harten said there wasn’t enough evidence to establish the claim that Crowchief attacked White because of her skin color, despite the fact that the perpetrator, who had never met the victims before the attack, yelled “I hate white people†before throwing a punch.
“There is no evidence either way about what the offender meant or whether … she holds or promotes an ideology which would explain why this assault was aimed at this victim,†the judge said.
-
She just meant that she hates people named White. Duh.

We Messed Up
Yesterday we published a review of Seth Rogen’s new animated film, Sausage Party. After we received feedback about it from our Trans Editor Mey Rude, the members of the QTPOC Speakeasy and Facebook commenters, we decided to un-publish the piece. Here’s how the review came to be published on Autostraddle, why it was a problematic decision, and what we’re doing to avoid mistakes like this in the future.
How The Review Came to Be Published
Because the time and resources of our small full-time staff are always spread very thin, we rely on freelance pitches to cover things we can’t or won’t experience firsthand. On Saturday we received a pitch from a freelancer who enjoyed Salma Hayek’s portrayal of the animated queer taco in Sausage Party; she found it to be surprisingly nuanced. Hers was the only pitch we received about the film. None of the senior editors saw the film or wanted to. I spent about an hour reading reviews over the weekend. Every review I read that made note of the film’s cultural caricatures also indicated that those caricatures were pushed so far beyond the point of absurdity that they actually became a subversive parody of stereotypes. In interviews, Salma Hayek expressed unbridled enthusiasm about the role.
Variety: “Racial, ethnic, sexual and sociopolitical stereotypes are shamelessly exaggerated and honed to satirical edges.â€
New Republic: “It throws joke after joke after joke, a high percentage enough of which land to make it worthwhile, if you can get through all the cheerful offensiveness.â€
AV Club: “…keeps returning to the network of religion-like beliefs and ethnic stereotypes that make up this food world [which] … the movie ridicules.â€
Screen Rant: “Anyone with even a passing knowledge of world history is sure to appreciate a majority of this content (though, the stereotypes start to become played out after a while).â€
MTV: “Sausage Party is ballsy and dumb and brilliant all in one bite. You can gobble it up like empty calories, snickering at satisfying junk like the way Salma Hayek’s lesbian taco shell Teresa leers at literal white bread Brenda’s squeezable behind.â€
Chicago Sun-Times: “At times Sausage Party plays into ethnic and gender stereotypes while making points about ethnic and gender stereotypes … Despite all the cursing and envelope-pushing and bat-bleep crazy sexual stuff, Sausage Party isn’t mean-spirited. It’s just stupid. But also pretty smart. And funny as hell.â€
HitFix: “Salma Hayek is surprisingly raw as a taco who tries to deny her feelings for Brenda the bun.â€
Rolling Stone: “Salma Hayek scores as a bi-curious taco with a thing for Brenda.â€
On Monday afternoon, I put the freelancer’s review into wordpress and was getting it ready for publication when I opened up a discussion about it in our senior editors channel in Slack. In the interest of transparency, I am copying and pasting the transcript of that conversation here.
heather: Salma Hayek Is a Surprisingly Endearing Lesbian Taco in “Sausage Partyâ€
how’s that [headline]?
i can’t see how a latina woman voicing a lesbian taco in a seth rogen movie could ever be a good thing, but this review says it is nuanced and sweet
riese: is the reviewer white
heather: i don’t know
a lot of reviewers are talking about how this is a really nuanced allegory about theology and faith? that feels so impossible.
will someone else read the sausage party post? i have made the few edits it needed for readability, but i feel uneasy because i haven’t seen it and it is a latina lesbian taco falling in love with a hot dog bun
Yvonne: lol i can read it
heather: thank you
[….]
Yvonne: i think it’s fine heather! i think i wouldn’t watch the movie because it’s in the category of movies i hate and i hope our readers can make that distinction for themselves. and it’s not like we’re endorsing this movie, just pointing out there’s a lesbian taco
heather: okay!
Yvonne: maybe we should include the trailer in there?
i had to go find it
and judge for myself
and was like oh eww
heather: i hope it’s not transmisogynistic. i went through ten pages of google results and tumblr and didn’t see anything about transphobia or transmisogyny
Yvonne: true
like if i think about it, of course i hate that they resorted to a stereotype, like making salma hayek use her accent for the voice of a taco but like this is seth rogan so my feelings are like :face_with_rolling_eyes:
heather: yeah, that makes sense!
Yvonne: do you think think the last paragraph is like an exaggeration? or does this fall into the thing of someone has an opinion different from yours type of deal?
Heather: i think the second thing. i mean, i don’t think it’s going to actually encourage queer rep in movies aimed at younger people; i don’t think that’s a thing that will happen at all. but i do think she’s right that having an animated lesbian character to sympathize with in a summer blockbuster aimed at the people who will pay money to see this is a big deal.
Yvonne: ok!
heather: also i wonder if the taco is bisexual
i can’t believe i am having this much of a crisis about this!
Yvonne: i get it though!
because sausage party is crass
heather: yes
Yvonne: like people in our community can critique the hell out of it
and pick it apart
heather: yes
Yvonne: because it’s meant for stupid fucking men
heather: yes!
thank you, yes
that is my feelings exactly
Yvonne: and it’s not meant for us
and we don’t need more media like it in this world
because that is the world
Heather: no!
we do not!
i have lost my mind, thanks a lot taco movie
Yvonne: hahahahaha
i had no idea this was a movie!
heather: i wish i didn’t
Yvonne: a summer blockbuster even
heather: i’ll bet it’s so gross
Yvonne: for sure
so lewd
heather: you have to read and write too much about donald trump to be forced to acknowledge that this movie exists!
Why The Review Was Unacceptable
After we published the review, we heard from Latinx readers who believe the portrayal of Salma Hayek’s taco was racist and that it reinforced harmful stereotypes. We heard from readers who were upset that we labeled the taco a lesbian when it seems more likely that she was bisexual. We heard from readers who questioned the consent of the sexual encounter between the taco and the hot dog bun. We heard from readers who found the taco to be a damaging portrayal of a predatory queer woman.
There are several reasons I should have listened to the alarm bells of unease I felt about the Sausage Party review. First and most damning: we allowed a non-Latina writer to cover a story about a caricature of a Latina, and while the review didn’t specifically mention the film’s stereotyping, by praising the film as a positive portrayal of a queer Latina, we allowed a white writer to, in effect, condone that stereotyping. Second, when I was looking for reviews, I trusted the opinion of mainstream newspapers and websites and didn’t specifically seek out reviews written by women of color, generally; or Latina women, specifically. Furthermore, if the review had been written by a staff writer we would’ve talked it out with the writer in Slack if we had concerns and asked them more questions. Since the writer was a freelancer, we chose not to reach out to ask follow up questions over email; instead, we plowed forward for the sake of a time-sensitive article. Third, we did not consult with our full team to see if anyone had heard anything positive or negative about the film’s portrayal of a queer Latina character. And finally, we put the burden on Yvonne of being the conscience and voice for all queer Latina women.
I want to personally apologize to every reader who was hurt by the Sausage Party review. I failed you as a senior editor of this website and I failed you as an ally. I am wholly sorry for the pain and anger I caused you. I offer you no justification. I was blinded by my own whiteness existing inside a system of white supremacy. I must do better. I will do better. I also want to take full responsibility for not working more closely with the freelancer. This was not her fault. This was an editorial failure. I should have asked more critical questions about the film, especially since no one I know had seen it.
A note from Yvonne: I want to apologize to our Latinx readers specifically because I could’ve stopped this from happening, especially when I recognized the red flags and didn’t stop to question them. I knew the taco was a racist caricature but attributed it to a systemic problem in media that wasn’t necessarily our problem. But it became our problem when we used our voice as a queer publication to write a positive review of that racist caricature and perpetuated a racist narrative for the sake of the queer representation in the film. I was wrong for not stopping this immediately, especially when it deeply effects my own people. I’m a Latina and I’m also susceptible to the racist, oppressive system we live in. I know how incredibly challenging it is to find genuine Latinx representations in media and I’m sorry I was a disservice to Latinxs by not demanding better. These aren’t our stories and we deserve better. I’m deeply shamed by this deplorable mistake and I will definitely learn from this and make sure I can provide the best representation for people of color going forward.
What We’re Doing To Stop Mistakes Like This From Happening
Again, in the interest of transparency, I want to pull back the curtain on our editorial process for a moment and talk to you about how we cover TV shows and movies. Like I said, we often rely on freelancers for film and TV shows we don’t have access to. Luckily, I was accepted into the Television Critics Association this year, which has opened up some doors to us as far as TV access. However, we still don’t have the “ins†other publications do when it comes to movies. We have to rely on our staff members paying to see a movie on opening weekend, or freelancers coming to us with pitches about movies they’ve seen. That’s how the Sausage Party review came to be.
I also want to tell you about how we cover things we do have access to. I think Orange Is the New Black is a good jumping off point. For the most recent season of Orange Is the New Black, we passed around a sign-up sheet and offered our staff writers and editors the chance to review individual episodes of the show, and we reached out to a handful of freelancers whose work we love and whose voices we want to amplify to ask them to join us in writing reviews. My main priorities in our OITNB coverage were: 1) Making sure the majority of our reviews were written by women of color. And 2) Making sure any writer who shared an identity with an episode’s feature character had first dibs on writing about that episode. I told all of our writers they needed to be willing to trade or give up their review slots, if necessary, to achieve this goal.
We were three episodes into our review schedule when we found out about OITNB’s season-ending death. At that time, I pulled reviews from two of our white writers and sought Black writers to cover the important episodes. Riese mandated that we read the widely circulated article “Orange Is the New Black is Trauma Porn for White People.†And I personally edited every review so I could make sure the opinions voiced by our white writers were in line with the voices of Black writers I was seeking out every day for their opinions on every episode. I am really proud of the diversity of voices we showcased in our 13-episode review schedule. We published reviews by two trans women of color, four Black writers, one Latinx, one Indian woman, two nonbinary writers, and two bisexual writers. The majority of our reviews were written by people of color.
I mention this only to illustrate the huge difference between the way we write about stories we have access to and stories that we don’t. We need to do even better with shows like Orange Is the New Black. The overwhelming majority of our reviews should be written by women of color. 2016’s coverage was just a stepping stone. I also mention this because while yesterday’s Sausage Party review was unacceptable, it’s not a fully accurate representation of our editorial thought process. We try to find writers with similar identities to minority characters to cover TV shows and movies that focus on those characters — our failure to do so in the case of the Sausage Party piece serves as a reminder to us of why that practice is so important, and why we need to redouble our commitment to it. Our extreme commitment to having topics relating to any marginalized identity — be that trans status, race, religion, physical ability — is why we have such an enormous stable of writers we work with regularly, which’s why we need five full-time Senior Editors to manage, edit and work with those writers. It’s also why there’s been no financial room to promote anybody into a part-time or full-time position for the past two years.
Several weeks ago, Riese combed through our archives and our payroll and created a document called Diversity Initiative, in which she laid out the ways we are succeeding and failing in making sure Autostraddle is a constant source of voices of people of color. The senior editors studied her report and spent several hours on the phone the following day to brainstorm and make an action plan — both as individual editors and as a company — to hire, promote, pay, and publish more writers of color, and to make sure the writers of color who are on our staff have the editorial support they need to create the content they’re passionate about publishing. This is far from the first time we’ve had meetings on this topic and discussed how to do better, but this time we have a serious outline to follow with concrete action steps and we hope the results of that work will be evident soon.
We understand that (like most online media for LGBTQ folks) the majority of our senior staff is white, and that because of that, we make decisions based on our conditioning by white supremacy. Yesterday’s Sausage Party review is a very hurtful example of what happens when our lack of access and that blindness and our weaknesses as editors due to our privilege and systemic racism collide. I take full responsibility for the pain and anger the review caused.
We’re not there yet. In fact, we will never get there because the work will never be done. And we’re going to keep fucking up along our way. But we are constantly working to get better. I will redouble my own efforts to unpack my role in the systemic oppression of people of color and to check the ways in which I benefit from that system. I love you very much, and I want to work with you to make the world better.
As always, we welcome your feedback. We are grateful for the accountability you provide to us, and the ways you push us to be better.
So hard to pick a favorite part, but I think it's the frequent use of Latinx, because using Latino to address both genders, though grammatically correct, is sexist.

My favorite part is making sure everyone knows that most of the reviews are written by "people of color" because they don't want their white supremacy to show.
And a very close second is the conversation of "yeah" "Like" "I know right"

So, are they trying to say that the white race isn't superior?

Speaking of PC'ness, a buddy of mine got slapped on the wrist by the Bookfaces. With the recent floods in Louisiana, there was apparently something posted on FB about blacks complaining that they were stranded and in need of help but BLM was nowhere to be found.
His post was "Who with an IQ above room temperature didn't see that coming?"
The Bookfaces removed his post and told him this was not in the community spirit that FB is all about. :facepalm:

Young African-American victims rarely get justice served to those who perpetrate the crime. Why? Because most witnesses will not come forward to testify.

Racist Gorilla Be Rapin' Err'body Up In Here. foxynews
The famed neuroscientist David Eagleman once said: “There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.â€
It seems that social justice warriors are demanding this third death for the sweet, gentle giant Harambe, the gorilla who was tragically shot at the Cincinnati Zoo in May.
The administration at Clemson University is banning students from publicly displaying references to Harambe, saying he promotes racism and rape culture, Campus Reform reported.
Following Harambe’s death, the Internet came together to immortalize Harambe in meme form, with timeless mottos like “dicks out for Harambe†and “Harambe did 9/11.†But it seems these cries of solidarity with the slain gorilla are misunderstood by certain colleges. A few weeks ago RAs at U Mass threatened Title IX investigations toward students using Harambe memes.
At Clemson, the ban was the result of an “incident†the university refuses to elaborate on, involving offensive use of a Harambe meme.

Here we go again. So, Good Friday is a day that exists solely because Christians recognize it as significant in the history of Christianity. Tell me Bloomington, who are you excluding in your inclusiveness? And now you think Americans shouldn't celebrate the "discovery of America" because of what happened after the discovery of America? Tell ya' what Bloomington, why don't you give up your little slice of this country, deed it back over to the Indians...I'm sorry, "Native Americans"...and sail your PC asses back to Europe. Fox
The city of Bloomington, Indiana, has renamed Good Friday and Columbus Day because the names imply a cultural insensitivity, according to the Bloomington Herald-Times.
The new, more politically-correct names will help make the holidays more inclusive, the mayor said.
"We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city," Hamilton wrote. "That diversity makes us stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve. These updated names for two days of well-merited time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity."
The Herald-Times reports that "all city employees receive paid time off for Columbus Day, a federal holiday ... and Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday. In the future, the city will be calling these paid days off 'Fall Holiday' and 'Spring Holiday.'"
Good Friday is not a federal holiday but is observed by many Christians as the day Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans.
Columbus Day is a federal holiday noting the arrival of the Italian explorer in the Americas, on Oct. 12, 1492. Columbus Day has come under fire from liberals who claim the discovery of the Americas by Europeans led to centuries of oppression of Native Americans.
Dissing and dismantling the holiday became more a left-wing cause when the late Howard Zinn, a political science professor at Boston University, spent the first chapter of his 1980 book, "A People's History of the United States," flaying Columbus.
"To emphasize the heroism of Columbus and his successors as navigators and discoverers, and to de-emphasize their genocide, is not a technical necessity but an ideological choice. It serves -- unwittingly -- to justify what was done," Zinn wrote in his celebrated left-wing tome.
The news likely does not come as a surprise to residents of the city of Bloomington. The city and surrounding Monroe County -- thanks mostly to the presence of Indiana University -- are overwhelmingly liberal. The county gave Clinton 58.6 percent of the vote -- almost a 14,000-vote margin over Trump.
The news of Bloomington's Columbus Day erasure came the same day that Columbus Eastern High School defeated Bloomington High School South.
Columbus, Indiana -- the home to Gov. Mike Pence, now the vice president-elect -- is Bloomington's eastern neighbor. It was so named in 1821

This may or may not belong here, but I'm dropping it here anyway. This is a bit from an article written on a "viral rant" from Louisville women's basketball coach, Jeff Walz. What is a viral rant anyway? Sounds like someone is pissed about being sick. Anyway, we need more peeps and/or attitudes like this. Fox...
Jeff Walz called out his team's lack of effort during a postgame news conference after No. 7 Louisville lost its second straight game to No. 5 Maryland on Thursday. He also suggested some players came into college hoops expecting to get cheered and celebrated when they didn't earn it.
"What's that teaching kids? It's OK to lose. And unfortunately, it's our society. It's what we're building for, and it's not just in basketball, it's in life," Walz said. "You know, everybody thinks they should get a job. Everybody thinks they should get a good job. No, that's not the way it works, but unfortunately, that's what we are preparing for, because -- you finish fifth, you walk home with this nice trophy, parents are all excited. No. Not to be too blunt, but you're a loser."

Anybody who snaps instead of clapping? Shotgun shovel to the forehead.
Why do we allow this? What happened to "sit your ass down and shut the fuck up??" Do these princesses not have parents?
This country is so, so, so fucked.

Mandatory military service
So, I guess the plate in my head which keeps me from qualifying for military service I got when I was 8 because the asshole down the street couldn't be bothered to watch where he was going in a subdivision would line me up for execution.
