Black Valedictorians and the Toxic Trope of Black Exceptionalism
I want these stories to be so common that they are unworthy of such coverage.
Is a very great sentiment.  Most people would like that.
...being the only Black student in the room is not for every student.
Why not?  Would it be the same for a Asian student?  For a Hispanic student? For an White student?
If you focus on race, isn't it another kind of group think?

Race Manners: Which Black People Should I Believe?
Pretty good advice....BUT
"Do I generally consider this person or media outlet to be smart and trustworthy? Do I see eye to eye with this person or media outlet on issues about which I feel more clear and confident?" 
    Couldn't this just get us into a bubble: right-wingers believing in their version of reality and left-wingers theirs. It sounds like a recipe for QAnon: I will see that when I believe it.

99% Of People Killed By Covid Last Month Were Unvaccinated, Analysis Finds
News from Forbes, AP and CDC

Matt Hancock, the Health secretary accused of ‘affair with close aide

So what? What does that have to do with his job? Or do you just like to gossip about affairs?
Are there any affairs in the Independent staff, and if so, why haven't we heard about them?

Labour demands inquiry into Hancock’s alleged office affair
Because Labour people don't ever have affairs, right?

US to miss 70% vaccination target by Fourth of July, White House admits
All because the MAGAts and Trumpettes don't like Trump's vaccine.
We are not sure why they don't trust Trump.  Perhaps he lied to them too often?

Three-quarters of domestic abuse investigations closed by police without charge, watchdog finds
What is the right number that should end with charges, Lizzie Dearden?   
55% of domestic abuse were discontinued because the victim did not support prosecution.  
Should we ignore the wishes of the allegedly abused?
 A further 20% were stopped because the police found “evidential difficulties”.
Should we prosecute and lose the cases regardless, just to annoy the abuser
    
The UK has been arrogant and entitled about its culture for too long.

The UK is arrogant and entitled in its multiculturalism and the European can't stand that. 

They like things white in Europe and think people of colour should know their place.


A Gay N.F.L. Player Broke a Barrier. Will Others Follow?

Who cares?  We care whether he can tackle, not who he likes to poke in his spare time.

Billie Eilish ‘appalled and embarrassed’ by video showing her mouthing an anti-Asian racial slur
Of course the BBC and the Grammy's will suspend her, just like the CBC did to Ollie.  Right? 

Parliamentary report’s attack on use of term ‘white privilege’
White working-class pupils ‘let down’ by decades of neglect, MPs say
Does that mean people of colour are not the only victims?

Capitol attacks on police in newly released videos
The new videos show a Marine Corps veteran and former New York City police officer wielding a flagpole as he attacks police, as well as rioters crushing another officer into a door as he screams in pain. Still another video shows a New Jersey man punching an officer in the head.
The Republican party used to support the police and true conservatives still do.
But Trump’s RINO Republicans and MAGAts think the police are trash.

Stephen Hawking says humans must colonize another planet in 100 years, or face extinction
May 5, 2017  In his upcoming documentary Hawking says Earth is becoming “increasingly precarious”
True! The reason why we seem to be alone in the universe is that advanced intelligent life doesn’t survive for very long.   If we consider humans, we started producing radio waves 126 years ago.   Imagine solving Drakes equation if every advanced culture in the galaxy lasted only 250 years.

‘We are deeply ashamed’: Government apologises to the thousands of rape victims 
Thousands of rape victims have been denied justice because of failings by police and prosecutors, the government has admitted.  Only 1.6 per cent of rapes recorded by the police are currently prosecuted in England and Wales – the lowest proportion for any crime.
And that is mostly down to Alison Sunders. It was her watch.

Unvaccinated West Point cadets face growing and severe retaliation, FOX news sources say
Good.  The cadets are supposed to set an example for other citizens.

About time!

‘Sausage war’: UK asks for three-month delay to Brexit ban on meat exports to Northern Ireland

Why? On what basis? That Johnson didn't read the agreement before signing it?

Or that Perfidious Albion, led by liar Johnson, needs a chance to figure out a loophole.


Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard review: Salma Hayek is aggressively objectified

Objectify?  

To treat a person like a tool or toy, as if they had no feelings, opinions, or rights of their own.

Sounds like any actor or actress to me.


Federal Judge Rules That Jewish Baker Must Make 'Death To Israel' Cake For Arab Customer

“He wanted me to bake a cake with the words “DEATH TO ISRAEL” on the top in bold lettering,” Greenstein said. "He offered me extra money if I could put a few Jewish dead bodies on the sides. I thought it was offensive since I’m an Israeli Jew, so I politely declined.”

“The American right to cake is just as sacred as the right to kill unborn babies, choose your own pronouns, and vote by mail without showing ID or proof of citizenship,” the judge said in his scathing 12-page ruling. “As such, I decree that Jake Bakes Cakes must bake the ‘Death To Israel’ cake."

Greenstein said he plans to appeal the decision all the way to the supreme court if necessary, but that he’s having trouble finding a lawyer. “Most of the law firms I’ve talked to said they're refusing to take my case because I’m Jewish,” he said.

U.S.

Congress Passes Law To Recognize Juneteenth, The Day Republicans Freed All The Democrats' Slaves

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Senate has unanimously passed a resolution to recognize Juneteenth as a federal holiday, commemorating the glorious day Republicans freed the last of the Democrats' slaves. 

"We are so proud to show the world how not-racist we are by officially recognizing the day the Republicans came charging in to free all our slaves," said Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer. "Yeah-- we Democrats did a little 'whoopsie' with that whole slavery thing, but the Republicans corrected it. Thanks, Republicans!" 

During this year's Juneteenth, the nation will gather to celebrate the American political party that was founded on protecting human rights of people of all skin colors. Democrats around the country will write letters of apology and organize celebrations for the vast network of Christians, Catholics, Quakers, and Republicans who fought and died to end the scourge of slavery in America. 

Congress has also approved the building of a giant elephant statue in D.C. to honor the party responsible for the freeing of slaves from Democrat plantations.

G.O.P. Bills Rattle Disabled Voters: ‘We Don’t Have a Voice Anymore’
Of course the GOP doesn't want disabled people to vote. They may vote in their own interest, not the party's.

Threatening to tear up a treaty is a poor way to negotiate
But it is the only way Boris knows and Britain's word just isn't worth much now, it it? 
Perfidious Albion again

Billie Eilish isn’t problematic — your obsession with her sexuality is
But it is YOU obsessing about her sexuality. How are you different from them?

 
Booing those who take the knee is racist – it really is as simple as that
In fact, anybody who disagrees with me is racist.

Demonizing Critical Race Theory
Interesting article but, having read it, I am still not sure if CHARLES M. BLOW knows what Critical Race Theory is.

Q: Will incorporating critical race theory into education curriculums lead to a less racist society? 
A: No, but we might as well mix it up a bit in history class.

The Real Tax Scandal Is What’s Legal
The step-up-in-basis rule is a con that only a rich person can love.
Any bequest above $1 million should be treated as income.

People must be allowed the space to change – but offensive tweets, however old, cannot be ignored

Obviously, the ECB doesn't think that Ollie is sorry and ashamed enough and they want to be considered as "woke," so suspending him served two purposes. But what are they "investigating?" Whether he posted the tweets? Or are they going through everything he ever wrote to see if there are any other remarks that can be construed as sexist or racist.      

Of course, Chris Stevenson still believes in everything he said and did when he was 19.

Otherwise he would be reported to Thinkpol for thought crime.

Biden Justice Department Seeks to Defend Trump in Suit Over Rape Denial
"Justice Department argued that he could not be sued for defamation because he had made the supposedly offending statements as part of his official duties as president."
So being a rapist and slandering women he sexually assaulted is a part of Presidential duties?
Didn't know that.

England players agree to bring back racism following particularly persuasive booing
     The England football team have announced that, following some particularly persuasive booing at the start of the match against Romania on Sunday, they will be reinstituting racism.
     For nearly a year now, British football players have taken the knee before kick-off in an effort to highlight racism faced by black players. This small protest has been increasingly greeted with boos from those who wish to remain free to enjoy racism.

Ollie Robinson suspended from England pending investigation into historical offensive tweets
There are two possibilities: Either
The ECB doesn't believe Robinson is sorry and ashamed OR
The ECB will punish him so they can prove that they are considered politically correct and woke.
There are no other choices.
             If the latter, the only thing the ECB can do is ban him from ALL cricket from now until the end of his life, because we all know that no one can learn from the mistakes they made as stupid kids. It doesn't matter how sorry and ashamed you are, once you did something that make you sorry and ashamed, it is fixed for all time.
             Or, do we want to get into an argument of how long a suspension should be: noting that for woke people, absolutely nothing will be enough.

Steel fencing erected outside St Ives homes ahead of G7 summit: ‘They’ve built a cage around us’
Good idea. Keep those G7 delegates away from normal people

GOOGLE DIVERSITY HEAD REMOVED AFTER ANTI-SEMITIC POST ‘IF I WERE A JEW’ 
"If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired."
It is not nice to tell the truth

DC delegate for Transport calls for gender equality – in crash-test dummies
Federal researchers use only male crash-test dummies, and carmakers face no legal requirement to use both male and female dummies, the delegate's office said
How do you tell which dummies are Transgender?
At least the dummies are not exclusively White: definitely multi-ethnic

From the desk of a has-been.

Were My Criticisms of Israel Fair?
There is no peace in Israel/Palestine, because neither side wants it. Oh, many of the people do (on both sides), but their leadership (on both sides) likes to ride to office on the fear they create.
