U.S.—There is a long-successful narrative about race in this country: Racism of the past has led to structural racism, which keeps minorities from being successful. It seems really, really true, but one group continually causes problems for that narrative: Asians.
Asians in the U.S. have faced terrible discrimination in the past and continue to face discrimination today, and yet they continue to do even better academically and financially than white people -- the bad race that oppresses everyone. Woke activists are trying to put an end to this with a campaign urging Asians to be less successful so the simple racial narrative can prevail.
“It’s really inconsiderate,” said activist Howard Morrison, a white person who prides himself on caring more about racial issues than even most minorities. “No minority is supposed to be able to succeed until all white people learn to check their privilege. If minorities are successful anyway, it gets harder to guilt white people and just makes things more difficult for everyone.”
The new campaign is called, “You’re Not Allowed to Succeed Yet.” It’s specifically aimed at Asians but also applies to any minority doing well before structural racism is ended. The campaign has a phone number to report any successful minority, who will then be educated on how important it is that minorities wait for white people to fix things before any of them do well. A number of top universities have already signed on to the campaign and are helping out by limiting the number of Asians they admit.
Conservative councillor suspended for post dressed as a woman to mock idea of curfew against men
Mark Deacon, a conservative councillor in the UK, has been suspended from his role for posting an image of him wearing a dress in protest of the idea of a 6PM curfew on men following the murder of Sarah Everard. The councillor faced backlash for being “insensitive” to violence against women.
On Sunday, Deacon posted a picture of himself in a long black wig and floral pink dress. He said he would dress like that if a 6PM curfew against men was imposed.
BEIJING—The Chinese military has announced that they will no longer be investing in weapons, tanks, aircraft, or traditional warfare training techniques. Instead, the People's Liberation Army will simply be trained to shout the wrong pronouns at U.S. soldiers, who will collapse and shake uncontrollably at the advanced maneuver.
"Brave soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, prepare to launch a pronoun assault!" cried one platoon leader in a training exercise. "Go!"
The Chinese soldiers then began shouting "He/Him!" and "She/Her!" at American soldiers, whom Biden had loaned to the Chinese government for the practice session. They immediately collapsed to the floor. "No!!! I'm a xe/xer; it says so right on my dog tags!" cried one weeping American soldier huddled in the corner in the fetal position, rocking back and forth. "You can't call me the wrong pronoun -- it's literally violence! It's against the Geneva Convention!"
"President Biden will be hearing about this!" he shouted as he ran away.
"See? That's all we need to do to defeat the puny American soldiers," said the sergeant. "We don't even need to fire a shot. We just need to say the mean words they don't like."
A recent computer simulation predicted that using this tactic, the Chinese military would defeat America in approximately seven minutes.
I don't think Muslims can be condemned for 9/11 - even if I accept the conventional story.
In the same way, I don't think white people, or Jewish people, of today, can be condemned for slavery today when white people largely eliminated it. And by "largely eliminated it" I mean the US still has slavery - read the 13th amendment. Prisoners are used for slave labor today.
Not only did I have no control over my ancestors, at least 1/2 of my ancestors weren't in the United States until 1900. 1/2 of my family escaped Poland just before Nazi Germany invaded it (that's where my genetically programmed paranoia comes from) the other half is from the potato famine in Ireland - that predates the civil war, but none of my ancestors had black slaves. My father's side of the family is a bit ambiguous. My father was adopted from Kentucky, my father's parents, grew up in Northern NY. My great grandfather had a schism in his family - he could not read nor write, so 1/2 the family decided to spell their name "Weeks" and the other half is "Wicks". We don't know the history beyond him and his wife. They were poor farmers.
Islam demands the murder of all infidels who refuse to convert or pay the jizya, and demands the murder of Muslims who try to leave Islam. This has been part of Islam from its very beginning.
I don't condemn all Muslims for 9/11, but I do blame Islam the religion. It's the worst religion by far.
Without Islam, there would have been no 9/11. They were Islamic fanatics motivated by Islam to die in order to kill Americans.
Slavery has no particular relation to white people. All people, everywhere on earth, have had slavery. Most of the blacks imported into the American south were enslaved in Africa by other black people and then sold.
Even freed black people in the south owned black slaves. American Indians owned black slaves.
The word "slave" is derived from the many Slavs who were captured by Muslims and enslaved.
Saint Patrick was a Romanized Celt captured from what is now Britain and enslaved by Irish pirates. He learned the language, escaped, and came back on a mission to convert them, which worked.
My father's side of the family is a bit ambiguous.
Still, it doesn't matter what your ancestors did or did not do. They are not you.
The bible is not consistent about this, but here's a verse I definitely agree with:
Ezekiel 18:20
The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

Makes a better looking woman than Rachael Levine.
Not even a little bit.
Not new but still funny.
It just goes to show the near impossibility of disarming people.
I'm curious about your opinion on this @Patrick.

You could do one of those DNA tests to find relatives, but of course you then also give up a lot of privacy.
