If she'd moved to some place where racism runs rampant and Confederate flags are routinely on display her commentary about Republicans and Rightwingnuts might be awfully similar.

The extremes on both sides of the political spectrum can be equally intolerant of those who don't fit their ideal.

But those people haven't infiltrated and essentially subverted America's education system, done their best to rig elections on state and national levels, haven't contaminated the government with their batshit crazy theories on shit like critical race theory, socialism/communism, 'White Guilt', and helped support a whole load of perverted shit involving children.

So, no. It's not really the same when she's seeing America fall apart due to a weird mix of Communism, anti-White racism, and anti-Right bias.

I've lived in trailer parks as a open jew, those people are actually a lot more tolerant then what a lot of media says they are.

Not everyone who lives in a trailer park is a bigot though.

true but even the confederate flag waving folks are often a lot more tolerant then people give them credit for.

Usually that's because they're not bigots; they just want to show respect for their southern heritage, even if they may not entirely understand it.

That reminds me of a picture I saw back when Obama was running against McCain. It was of a southern white guy wearing a "Yes We Can" t-shirt holding a sign which read "Rednecks for Obama". In the background there was a giant Confederate flag.

Jim Magoffin is a Science Teacher at Harrison High School in Missouri and facing allegations of racism, including use of the N-Word during an AP Biology class in April and defended himself in a Public School Board hearing attended by over a hundred people after the District and Superintendent requested he be terminated.

The allegations arose during a discussion about 'rap music' where three students 'confirmed' his use of the six letter world in discussion though Magoffin states he did not use the word but the phrase 'N-Word' instead. Another student then realized they too were victims of racism and stated the Teacher told her she couldn't join a 'Mask Break Walk' because she was Black and that he was 'fascinated by her hair.'

Other allegations that reportedly surfaced include that during a Physics class he supposedly said he didn't support 'Black Lives Matter' and other students alleged he stated 'racism doesn't exist in America' and that "Martin Luther King Day is Black Privilege Day."

White teacher fights for job after students accused him of racism

John Magoffin, a white science teacher, is being accused by students at Harrisonville High School of using inappropriate language involving race, including saying the N-word.

As of yet it's unknown if this occurred due to the gift of colorblind glasses he received from students back in 2017.

I'm guessing these kids are too "woke" to have been exposed to hip-hop long enough to understand it. The N-word is not censored but other profanities are.

Loudoun County school board has a meeting, and the parents make it clear they're not fond of CRT. The board promptly calls the sheriff and has him declare that the school meeting they called is an unlawful assembly and start arresting people.



The vile acts of the parents include singing the national anthem. The school decided to quit allowing people to comment at all since they weren't getting the answers they wanted.

Also Brandeis University's Oppressive Language rules are freaking hilarious.

Suggested Language List

www.brandeis.edu

Among the fun ones:

Picnic: Oppressive because it could have some sort of association with people eating while watching Lynchings so it's oppressive language to Blacks.

Freshman: Includes the word "man" so it's oppressive to all other genders.

Transgendered: Oppressive because the "ed" makes it past tense and genders change all the time, so gender language should only ever be referred to in the present tense. Ignore all the rules of grammar, this is more important.

People of Color: Oppressive because it treats all people of color equally, use BIPOC instead because it puts Blacks in front of other races, which is fair.

Victim: They don't have an explanation for why this is oppressive but they want you to use "Person who experienced..." instead. I have to note this rather horribly trivializes bad events because "experience" is generic and can be bad or good while victimization is always negative, so they're rather softening references to suffering here.

Take a Shot at it: Oppressive because it equates making an effort to murder.

And best of all: Trigger Warning: Associated with guns, it's violent and oppressive language. Yeah, they're getting triggered by the word triggered.

Honestly, this is one of few that I think make sense--even if I think they're being over-silly about it with including it in a list like this. Victimization is always negative, but the label also has somewhat of an attitude-assumption or casting? 'A [x] victim' and other constructions like that carries with it an assumption and...biasing?...of the attitude that person should have towards the thing--there's automatic implication that the thing suffered was and remains some central and defining THING that they and others need to have made the highlight of conversation. It's kind of irretrievably tied to victim-mentality both in a victim's self-conception and other peoples treatment of them?

Unfortunately, I've never really come across any of these alternatives that work. 'Survivor' has its own problems in kind've just turning the 'victim-mentality' implications up to eleven and is almost worse. Ditto with 'overcomer' which is one that the college I used to attend vaguely tried to popularize but...Yeah, it really doesn't work. 'Person who experienced...' might actually be the best alternative I've heard, but it's clunky and awkward at best.

So 'victim' is kind of just a bit of language with implications that just needs/should be lived with.

Rule of thumb

General rule

This expression allegedly comes from an old British law allowing men to beat their wives with sticks no wider than their thumb.

Should be called Rule of Wrist...

People are already trying to claim that the actions of parents critical of Critical Race Theory in that meeting has made them feel unsafe:

Residents left fuming, fearful after contentious Loudoun County school board meeting

Robert Norris Rigby, a Fairfax County Public Schools teacher and longtime LGBTQ advocate in Northern Virginia, said LGBTQ people he knows are terrified by what happened in Loudoun on Tuesday. Rigby, who is co-president of FCPS Pride, said people are watching videos of the Loudoun meeting and reading news coverage. “I think they were shocked by how violent the mob was,” he said. “It does feel like Loudoun is unsafe, and it makes people elsewhere worry about whether this is coming to us.”

This jackass is so spoiled he doesn't know what it's like to actually feel unsafe; but if he keeps pushing this regressive leftist bullhonky, I can almost guarantee that he will eventually. Because there is a limit to how much people are willing to put up with, and the state is more interested in protecting him from bad words than actual violence.

You counter with how they made you feel unsafe, and how their racist rantings should not be tolerated. Proving they are racists is a lot easier when they are pushing CRT.

Black Holes are racist.

Conventional wisdom would have it that the "black" in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there? Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection.

There is not a face palm big enough to describe how I feel about this bit nonsense.

I wouldn't be surprised if some special snowflakes needed an elective, didn't want to take something hard like "Basket Weaving", and roped a pair of professors into co-teaching it. That, or the professors involved were feeling lazy wanted to reduce their teaching load by coming up with a class they could share which would probably be cancelled due to lack of student interest.

I can see that. The weird thing to me is this automatic assumption that black equals bad. I mean, let's presume, just go with it, that black holes really are somehow a reference to black people. Black holes are also considered one of the most powerful and terrifying things in the universe. The go-to superweapon, power source, navigational hazard, etc. is a black hole. Black holes are synonymous with power incarnate. So why would being associated with black holes be a bad thing?

Because the special little snowflakes are so pampered they want to make controversy so they feel even more special? A few weeks at Paris Island would cure them of their ills.
