Oh the irony.

That modern "social justice" means to reinstitute segregation.

their vision of "equality" means turning the tables on the "oppressors", in order to get even for historical wrongdoings. that won't help in any way. :?

never mind that the vast majority of these folks are millennials, who never experienced jim crow and similar practices for themselves....though that doesn't mean they couldn't have experienced racism elsewhere. individuals are mostly clean, and that's how people should be judged.

it's this stupid fixation on victimhood and revenge that fuels nonsense such as that. the specific example in Umich is open to all students, as the editors note clarified, but i'm sure it happens elsewhere.

I didn't like it that the center of the Tootsie Pop was a Tootsie Roll. I didn't like Tootsie Rolls. It would take me three licks, just like the owl LOL

They had this other lollipop I liked----I forgot its name--but it would have taken at least 1,000 licks to get to ITS center.

I find some of this PC stuff to be absolutely absurd, frankly.

Yep....but it had nothing to do with racial "whiteness."

Nobody is THAT white.

Sounds like you're on to something. Could be a PHD thesis paper. :D

Quote:
The White House blocked The New York Times, CNN, and Politico from attending a press briefing Friday, potentially exacerbating an already contentious relationship between the Trump administration and the reporters who cover it. The New York Times said Sean Spicer, the White House spokesman, denied access to the organizations, which CNN added also excluded the Los Angeles Times. The Associated Press and Time, which were allowed to attend, boycotted the gaggle, as such briefings are unknown, in protest.

The organizations allowed to attend Friday’s gaggle were Breitbart News, The Washington Times, and One America News Network, all conservative outlets. Also attending were journalists from ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Fox News.

A very fascistic move by the administration there. One that his supporters will probably cheer on.

Just this morning, Alt Right white nationalist posters, encouraging racial purity for whites, had been discovered in downtown Spokane, having been put up by someone during the night. This sort of sh*t didn't happen before Trump got elected.
F*ck the Alt Right!
f**k white nationalism!
F*ck Trump, Bannon, and the whole cesspool of 'em!

I suggest you calm down and go to your corner to cool off.

NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, ran a half hour show on Richard Spencer and the alt-right, complete with comparing and contrasting them, the KKK, and neo-Nazis. They had a panel discussion, but didn't draw any parallels between the US and the growing racist right in Japan. They had a lot of interviews of people in the US, and were present at the Nazi Punching Incident, so they had a lot of stuff to fill that half-hour. It was in Japanese with English voice-over for the international broadcast, but was originally made for a Japanese audience in order to inform them about our situation. Maybe they implied a connection in some subtle ways that I missed.

Almost everyone seems to agree that Obama's presidency and Trump's rhetoric have drawn racists out of the closets and then made them more vocal. Trump is so awful at disavowing them, it's like he's not even trying.

I found this :

"However, as the New York Times itself reported in 2015, President Barack Obama met privately with liberal reporters and columnists frequently throughout his tenure in office — “more than a dozen” times. And although he occasionally invited conservative columnists, “Liberal-leaning columnists from newspapers tend to dominate at Mr. Obama’s secret sessions.”

Obama’s private briefings for liberal members of the media, which excluded conservatives, were well-documented. A few:

December 2012: Several journalists reported that MSNBC hosts were meeting privately with President Obama to discuss the impending “fiscal cliff” fight.

May 2013: NPR’s Ari Shapiro reported that President Obama was meeting privately with “lefty columnists,” but hastened to add that there was “nothing nefarious” about it.

November 2013: President Obama met again with liberal journalists, as Obamacare struggled with the failure of healthcare.gov and other problems.

March 2015: Politico’s media reporter, Hadas Gold, reported that “a group of journalists and columnists,” all on the left, met privately with President Obama, but the White House refused to say “who else was at the meeting or what was discussed.”

"the New York Times‘ claim that “[n]othing like this has ever happened” is simply false — or “fake news.”

How did you get to that conclusion? The certainty that comes with a total lack of information?

I guess it's OK when Obama does it.

The Media Is Outraged That Trump Criticized CNN. They Must Have Forgotten When Obama Did The Same To Fox News.

Obama attacked Fox once and got widely pilloried by all sections of the media, forcing him to back down. Trump repeatedly criticises anyone who runs a story he doesn't like and refuses to back down. Hard to accuse the media of hypocrisy on that one.
