Gang of six thieves are arrested for 177 robberies: Accused of 'hunting' elderly Asian women in year-long crime spree in San Francisco Bay Area
Police in San Jose announced six arrests Wednesday in year-long robbery spree
Cops say the crew targeted elderly Asian women for violent robberies
IMO he briefly uncloaks, and you can see that he's actually an NPC:
Most functional Americans of all ethnicities try to act what is lazily labeled “white.” As University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax and Judith H. Katz have indicated in radically different ways, much of the anti-white critique is merely anti-bourgeois. Making a case for “bourgeois culture” four years ago, Wax drew intense censure for “assertions of white cultural superiority."The history of Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C. illustrates this principle to perfection. Founded in 1870 as the first high school for "coloreds", the students were treated to an unapologetic regimen of high standards and with the exhortation to "act white", as that was the sure way to succeed in society. A beautiful building was constructed in the classical style in 1916 and served until 1975. With the cultural melt-down of the late 60's, the earlier attitudes were thrown away and such was the hatred towards them that whenever multiple former classes met simultaneously there was literal hatred directed towards members of the earlier classes from the early 60's back. Just to mention the word "Dunbar" in conversation was to invite hatred and ridicule.
Much of the bluster about combating systemic racism, it turns out, doesn’t have much, if anything, to do with actually addressing poverty, incarceration rates, and illness in racial minority communities. Indeed, if an increased number of racial minorities in commercials for Coke, McDonalds, and Coors persuades them to buy more of those products, that would likely result in increased levels of obesity, diabetes, and alcoholism in populations already disproportionately suffering from those maladies. Not exactly a win for anti-racism.
Or consider an example from professional sports: the emphasis on changing the names and logos of teams associated with Native Americans. The NFL and MLB have taken pride in their ability to persuade the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians respectively to abandon their “racist” mascots. Yet “how these changes might do anything to reduce the poverty, violence, and lack of educational opportunities that plague reservations is unclear,” writes Naomi Schaefer Riley in The New Trail of Tears: How Washington Is Destroying American Indians. ...
“We have reached a point where black multimillionaires like LeBron James seem to really think that they’re being hunted like rabid dogs by racist cops,” writes Loury.
This ideologically provoked alarmism identifies all manner of racist bugaboos for perpetuating systemic racism, among them standardized tests and the police. Yet abandoning IQ tests or the SATs and ACTs — which offer an important, if imperfect means of evaluating cognitive ability — because they are racially biased is a “laughable” example of shooting the messenger, says Loury. And Murray reminds us that blacks and Latinos already get through the educational pipeline “with preferential treatment in admissions to colleges and to professional programs.” ...
The narrative from media and entertainment elites elides the reality of race in America in favor of the easier, the more visible, and the self-congratulatory.
So, here’s the good news. On what sometimes seems the inexorable course towards progressive capture, we can see multiple fronts of resistance, and the early congealing of independent-minded forces, from the rational Right to the traditional liberal-left. Our society may never regain the feistiness of previous eras, and our new elites might continue marching through our institutions. But as they become increasingly discredited, they would be unwise to forget that all long marches one day come to an end.
Virginia Governor Bans Critical Race Theory, Names Anti-CRT Advocates to Key Education Posts
On his first in office, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin fulfilled his campaign promise by prohibiting public schools in the state from teaching critical race theory, which he described as an “inherently divisive” concept.
Youngkin, who was sworn in as governor Saturday in Richmond, signed nine executive orders and two executive directives to address some of his admiration’s hot-button issues, with the first on the list aiming to end “the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education.”
“Inherently divisive concepts, like Critical Race Theory and its progeny, instruct students to only view life through the lens of race and
presumes that some students are consciously or unconsciously racist, sexist, or oppressive, and that other students are victims. This denies our students the opportunity to gain important facts, core knowledge, formulate their own opinions, and to think for themselves,” the order states.
Youngkin said in one of the orders that, in 2021, Loudoun County Public Schools was made aware of a sexual assault that took place at a district high school, with a decision made to transfer the assailant to another Loudoun County school, “where the student was able to commit a second sexual assault.”
Both Loudoun County Public Schools and school administrators “withheld key details and knowingly lied to parents about the assaults,” Youngkin said, adding that no one has been held accountable.
Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1983, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed into law a bill designating the third Monday in January a national holiday honoring the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., who was born on January 15, 1929. ...
Despite the fact that the Democratic Party claims King’s legacy, and Democrats argue they are the sole protectors of his ”dream,“ they have turned this iconic sovereign’s message upside down, as if King had said, "I have a dream that my children will one day be judged by the color of their skin, not the content of their character.” They’ve converted it from a dream into a nightmare, and their failed statist “Great Society” programs have enslaved generations of poor, mostly black Americans on urban poverty plantations.
But poor blacks have been a staple Democrat Party constituency, having been inculcated with the belief that they are perpetual “victims of injustice” who must depend on their Democrat masters to take care of them. ...
In 2009, Obama was heralded as the savior of black America, promising to take them from suppression to black supremacy, precisely what was drilled into Obama’s psyche by his Marxist mentor Frank Marshall Davis and his religious mentor Jeremiah Wright ....
In 1901, King’s most notable predecessor in the fight for civil rights, Booker T. Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Institute, wrote in his seminal work, Up From Slavery: “[I] resolved that I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. … I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice. … In the sight of God there is no color line, and we want to cultivate a spirit that will make us forget that there is such a line anyway.”
He added, “Great men cultivate love. … Only little men cherish a spirit of hatred.”
Washington was a critic of those who made a practice of fomenting racial division. In his 1911 book, My Larger Education, Washington wrote racial agitators words that are even more applicable to their present-day brethren: “There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. … Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.”
Washington continued: “Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. … There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”
And that sums up today’s Democrat Party haters, who want the patient to remain ill in perpetuity, and thus have killed King’s dream.
In 1957, King wrote of loving your enemies, “Time is cluttered with wreckage of communities which surrendered to hatred and violence. For the salvation of our nation or mankind, we must follow another way.”
In 1960, King noted: “Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy, and God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race and in the creation of a society where all men can live together as brothers.”
In his 1963 book, Strength to Love, King centered his message on this theme: “Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.” ...
In 1964, King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. In his acceptance remarks, King acknowledged “the profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence WITHOUT resorting to violence and oppression.”
On July 4, 1965, preaching at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, MLK declared, “Love is the only absolute. … I’ve seen too much hate to want to hate myself; hate is too great a burden to bear. … Hate does something to the soul that causes one to lose his objectivity. The man who hates can’t think straight; the man who hates can’t reason right; the man who hates can’t see right; the man who hates can’t walk right. And I know now that Jesus is right, that love is the way.”
One of the most outspoken detractors of the Left’s orthodoxy is King’s niece, Alveda. She was 17 at the time of her uncle’s assassination, and she recently recalled a conversation with her father, King’s younger brother Alfred, on the day MLK died.
Alveda told him, “I hate white people. They killed Uncle M.L.”
Her father, also a pastor and civil rights leader, replied, “No, white people didn’t kill my brother; white people didn’t kill your uncle. White people march with us, pray with us, go to jail with us, live with us, die with us. No, no, the devil did this. You have to forgive; you have to forgive.”
Such forgiveness is anathema to most of today’s Democrat leaders — and the black community leaders in their stable.
Alveda added, “Acts 17:26 says, ‘Of one blood God made all people, to live together on the face of the earth.’ So we can be brothers and sisters because we are one blood; we are the human race. And I believe if my uncle were here today, he’d like for us to consider ourselves as human beings, not different races. One race, colorblind.”
We should all remember that Liberty is colorblind.
Despite questions about King’s personal character and his proper place in history, I encourage you to read his letter from a Birmingham jail, which provides a window into the soul of King’s vision for all Americans.
For four years after the Obama regime, there was greater hope for the poor black Americans MLK wanted to lift up. It came from somebody who Democrat Party leaders, their Leftmedia propagandists and their supporting cast of race-bait profiteers derided daily: Donald Trump. Black Americans are among the major beneficiaries of the Trump/GOP economic policies. Before the coronavirus pandemic, household income among blacks increased, while unemployment hit a record low. The Trump administration’s economic policies proved to be the rising tide that, in the words of John F. Kennedy, “lifted all boats.”
We believe that MLK would have recognized and acknowledged this good — but today’s Democrat Party is all-consumed with its message of fear and hate.
In 2021, the ascension of Obama’s former VP, Joe Biden, heralded the return if the Democrat Party’s race-baiting, economic-stifling policies.
The Democrat Party was, is, and will continue to be the agents of Black oppression. Demonstrably, the socialist Democrats are now, simultaneously, the historical author and political beneficiary of the systemic racism which they have institutionalized over the last century. It is Democrats who have kept generations of poor non-White Americans ensnared and enslaved on urban poverty plantations — which they both seeded and institutionalized over the last century. The Democrat Party platform has, by design, kept poor people in bondage to the welfare state and consequently, is the blueprint for the most enduring racial exploitation architecture in America.
Midwest Hospital System Stops Using Race-Based, Anti-White Covid Treatment Plan After Legal Threat ...
Attorneys at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) issued a letter Friday to SSM Health warning that it is illegal to distribute monoclonal antibody products (mAbs) based on race. The letter cited a Dec. 31 email to physicians by SSM Health that referenced a risk scoring calculator, in which non-White patients received a 7-point head start out of 20 total and were therefore more likely to receive life-saving medical treatment over White patients with medically recognized co-morbidities or symptoms, the attorneys argued.

I have a related "struggle session" at my woke employer today. These quotes are very helpful to me. Thanks.
THE FIST AND THE SWASTIKA
by Romo1979
Posted onJanuary 31, 2022
In a country of one-third of a billion people, anything can, and will, happen statistically. So indeed, we are a land of endless opportunities. All one needs to do is wish upon a star, wait, and eventually, the odds will be in one’s favor.
And so last weekend it finally happened! An antisemitic rally! In a red state! Woohoo! When blacks play the knockout game with religious Jews, it’s a bit uncomfortable. When Muslims beat up Jews, scream at Jewish diners, and even shoot Jews, we don’t really know how to react. But finally! It’s here! Big, bad, and SUPER WHITE people have finally rallied against God’s chosen people! Start your engines, everybody!
At last, an opportunity for the Jewish world to unite! The ADL, StopAntiSemitism.org, Ultra-Orthodox media, non-Zionist Jews, can all clamor together like in the old Shtetl again. Oh, the joys of brotherhood and cohesion.
But you know, not so fast. First, Jews should be grateful that a minor rally of what seems like less than ten individuals results in so much condemnation. The thousands of victims of black violence, and especially the white ones plucked by black violence before their time, receive no such media coverage and no politician’s attention. Rest in peace, Cannon Hinnant. As far as I know, only one news outlet, VDare.com, keeps track of black-on-white violence at all.
So yes, Jews should be singing hymns of thanksgiving that minor incursions against them reverberate out of every sensible proportion.
Second, aren’t many of the Jews now shouting “Antisemites!” in unison actually guilty of the same crime of ethnic hate? How many Jewish organizations have supported BLM’s summer of firey but peaceful love (answer: about 70%)? How many Jews have participated in BLM rallies, excoriating white America as “racist, sexist, privileged, blah, blah, blah?” Answer: More than a few randos in Florida.
Alas, many Jews themselves are guilty of participating in racist and anti-ethnic violence. Against whites. What are resentful screeches about undeserved “privilege” and “systemic racism” if not calls to undo Anglo-Western America? What is the BLM fist if not a cry to undo and dismantle traditional America? Is it not as bad as a swastika?
I definitely think so. And as the sages of old have taught us: Prior to accusing others of having a splinter between their eyes, look in the mirror and remove the beam that’s between your own eyes.
Sen. Ted Cruz: "Racial discrimination is wrong. Period, full stop. One of the most depressing things about Democrats today, they're very comfortable discriminating based on race. ... When Joe Biden throws out a quota ... [he is] rejecting regardless of merits everybody else."
There was also the obnoxiously pandering pronouncement from the White House that President Biden would commit to nominating a black woman to fill the post. No one disputes that there exists a significant pool of qualified, exemplary jurists who are not black or female. In a country that regards sex and race discrimination in the workplace as immoral and illegal, it's a bit unsettling to see the highest profile CEO in the country admit he will be happily engaging in it to make his next hire.
The other people that were there and saw what was happening but was too chicken shit to say anything. Were looking at me like "So that's how it's done?"
And those same chicken shit people may be glad you stood up but would cowardly take the other persons side if the discourse spread to involve them.
I'll gladly show my ass, and show my co-shoppers how to handle assholes that have no consideration for other's or their time for standing in line waiting their turn.
. I had my 20 year old daughter in line with me. Damn if she didn't try to embarrass me about "manners".
To paraphrase, the liberal America that dominates our elite institutions communicates a blatantly paradoxical message to immigrants: please come to America, a land budding with economic, educational, and political opportunity, where you will experience unprecedented prosperity…but you will also be oppressed and victimized by a systemically racist system. It’s the latter part of that narrative that is patently absurd and untrue. But it’s one that many Americans now believe as gospel because it is preached so constantly.
This is how someone can claim with a straight face that an internationally recognizable celebrity athlete and model is somehow a victim of the country that provided her with the opportunities to succeed. Perhaps the scariest thing for the future of the American republic is that so many Americans — who as citizens are supposed to believe in their nation and its founding principles — really believe this drivel.
Miami middle schoolers attack white classmates as revenge for what whites "did in the 1700s for slavery" ... I wonder where they got THAT idea!

did 4 years in prison
Originally Answered: What did you learn from going to jail or prison?
I learned about REAL racism. (the kind where people are physically violent, not the college “systematic oppression” b.s.)
