Equestrian Helmets

This is just more stupidity. You can get a helmet of any size. They are bringing this up as an "issue" because there's plenty of people that ride motorcycles and bikes, but few people that ride horses, so they are depending on the ignorance of their audience.

All of our media is just stupid clickbait stupidity. The only reason you noticed this, was because how ridiculous it is. Our "news" at this point is just trolling assholes.

That was from 2017 though.

its real!!!

“I finally freaking feel like myself, and now society is asking me to change,” Ms. Robbins, 27, of Alliston, Ontario, said as she choked back tears. “I just want to be able to ride.”

Black equestrians have long felt virtually invisible in a sport that remains overwhelmingly white. For those with natural hair, which for many is a declaration of pride and Black identity, finding a helmet that fits properly can be nearly impossible, creating yet another barrier to full inclusion. Some are now lobbying for change, mindful that horseback riding is among the leading causes of sports-related traumatic brain injury. The helmet companies say there isn’t a simple fix.

It's NOT a story. It's just another piece of clickbait.

My aunt used to wear a beehive hairdo back in the 1970's. It didn't prevent her from riding.

I would love to see ONCE a piece in "mainstream news" that's worth actually paying attention to. How many people ride horses? Maybe 1 out of 10,000 people? They're super expensive to keep up, you hardly actually ride them, they are a money sinkhole. It's worse than owning a boat, but QUITE a measure.

Horses are a serious pain in the ass. You can't just have one, they have to be in a herd of some sort. You can have a donkey or perhaps even cattle, but generally, you need to have two.

Literally. Ride horses long enough and you will be able to crack walnuts with your butt cheeks.

That is like saying that pro basketball is overwhelmingly Black because basketball pants do not fit White asses.

LOL! They are trying to make being white a form of 'original sin', which in itself is racist. The snake eating its own tail, or just another Satanic inversion KommieKunt oxymoron?

To give a sense of just how ridiculous this has gotten, I’ve compiled 50 examples of things that have been declared “racist” over the past few years. You’ll notice in some of these the notion that mere cultural differences are evidence of racism, as well as the implication that because something was once used for racist ends or at the center of a racist incident, it is somehow permanently contaminated. The brilliant John McWhorter cites two real-world examples of such strained usage of the term “racism”: the rarity of the black oboist, as if this demonstrates anything more than the fact that most black Americans just don’t have much interest in playing the oboe; and declaring the filibuster racist, with Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour speech against a 1957 Civil Rights bill often cited as an example of the practice being employed to further racism (never mind that Obama readily supported use of the filibuster).

Yeah Booger, the Chicoms are at the master level of manipulation and gaslighting.

This is a perfect Woke Wash play to get any remaining Democrats to distance themselves from the legislative effort to ban Tik Tok.

Fuck Google. I'm tired of this division, I'm too old for it. Racism is a thing of the past and it's being stoked now only to divide this nation to weaken it.

I love the black owned labeling at the stores so I know what not to buy.

Booger says

I have no preference. When I go to purchase something, I don't even have in my mind who owns it.

I purchase the majority of my food from an Indian store, NOT because they are Indian, but they have the lowest prices and the best quality. You can't get decent pepper from a chain for example, or rice. They source locally as well for fruits and vegetables. A single lemon is $1.00 at my local Safeway, it's 4 to 6 for a dollar at this little Indian grocery I go to.

NOTE: Indian rice MUST be washed. It contains dirt and even small pebbles of stone. Basmati rice (real Basmati) is delicious. Honestly it is.

Whenever I see an Indian in Safeway buying food, I'm always tempted to ask them "why are you here?" but I know how that can be taken the wrong way. I go to Safeway to buy beer, cheese, eggs and milk. Everything there is over-priced there, and low quality in comparison. I would say almost any small grocery is better than a nationwide chain. The onions I bought today were weirdly shaped, but they taste fine, and were 1/5th the cost at least. I can't even get fresh garlic at Safeway - it's all dried and in a plastic container. Dehydrated garlic is fine, but fresh is better although inconsistent in strength and flavor. Depends on the time of year and how fresh the vegetable/spice is.

Check out your little local market if you have one. Mine aren't only cheaper, but they are superior as well.

It just occurred to me that "racism" is like "climate change"; if you have nothing to say about something, you can make shit up and say one or the other is responsible, depending on the circumstance.

Academics and scientists have to find something to say or they're irrelevant or worse, broke.

We all need the courage to recognize our irrelevancy. My initial job was to create this communication system, I'm no longer needed, and it remains my expertise.

There were people in the 1960's working to end racism and segregation. The people who were successful at this were all killed, the ones that lived just continued on to be race baiting assholes. Al Sharpton is one. Louis Farrakhan is another, although I have some amount of respect for Farrakhan. I don't think he's entirely a bad man, but I think he was part of the conspiracy plot to murder Malcolm X, who I also respect.

Sharpton is garbage though. A race grifter. He's been obsolete for 40 years. I've only been obsolete for 10.

Juneteenth is the most racist holiday I've ever heard of. The name of the fucking holiday does not use proper English. You hear Mexican's saying CincoMayo? Do American's say Julyourth? If I was black, I'd be fucking embarrassed, or pissed.

What characteristic of white supremacy culture has been the hardest for you to unlearn??? For me, "sense of urgency" has been the hardest since I'm naturally impatient too.

@monitoringbias
Thanks for asking, Shana.

I'm having a hard time trying to unlearn the following characteristics of white supremacy culture (as listed by the National Museum of African American History in 2019):

strong work ethic
planning for the future
objectivity
rational linear thinking
respect for Western civilization
self-reliance
the written tradition
the nuclear family
being on time
speaking grammatically-correct English
the scientific method
private ownership of property
action orientation
competitiveness
delaying gratification
decisiveness
politeness
celebrating Christmas
respect for authority
understanding cause and effect

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a support group I can go to to help me unlearn these harmful traits?

Blonde families are racist!

Funny, as an increasing number of successful Black woman are talking about dating White men since the White men are more likely to marry and stick around.

These black womyxn are raycist as well.

BTW one of my students was a very black and very intelligent womyxn from Caribbean. Her parents prohibited her from dating local blacks threatening with excommunication from family.

that’s because black guys know black women and hence avoid them. white soy boys are kind of clueless so they fall for that.

Competence is racist.

It is not Black women are dating White men because Black men will not date them, it is that successful Black women are spurning Black men and going after White men. Better long term values.
