Raceology

https://www.newsweek.com/math-racist-crowd-runs-rampant-seattle-portland-opinion-1701491 Jason Rantz Judging by East Coast liberals' attacks on Florida Governor  Ron DeSantis  for fighting against woke math textbooks, you'd think the battle is a new one. But the math war has been raging for years on the West Coast, where progressives have almost total control over school curricula. The governor's critics were skeptical, arguing this move was little more than contrived political theater. They immediately demanded examples of problematic textbooks. Progressive writer Judd Legum, for example,  claimed  DeSantis was overstating the presence of critical race theory (CRT) in curricula, noting that it "is not something you typically find discussed in a K-12 math textbook." Though DeSantis  pointed to some specific examples  of CRT-inspired teaching materials, it's not as simple as pointing to math problems in a textbook. CRT is a lens that tints every subject, and...

Posted on April 5, 2022 Sam Francis on Conspiracy Theories Chris Roberts, American Renaissance, April 5, 2022 Credit Image:  Christian Cable via Wikimedia In 1996,  the great Sam Francis  wrote  a long essay on conspiracy theories . After noting that not since the 1940s “has the American presidency been as engulfed in distrust and suspicion as it is today,” he wrote: Whatever else conspiracy theories prove, their prevalence at certain periods of history invariably shows the impending collapse of public trust in the way things are, a readiness to ascribe to the occupants of a society’s most visible and respected positions of leadership the most villainous purposes and the most ruthless means of attaining them. None of the Presidents who followed Bill Clinton managed to regain the majority of the public’s trust. During George W. Bush’s presidency, leftists spun tales about how both the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen, and warned of a looming authoritarian evangelic...

Thanks Mr. sonofseawolf. This article is complete nonsense. All I have to say really.   © Provided by Salon Donald Trump Donald Trump Scott Olson/Getty Images One of the most popular lies being circulated by the Republican Party and the larger white right is that white men are somehow oppressed in America. To say that such a claim is absurd would be an understatement. To be white is to have access to unearned advantages in almost every arena of American society and throughout the world. And to be male is also to have access to resources and life opportunities that in general are de facto still denied to women and girls. By almost all indicators, men as a group dominate and control America's networks of power, influence, wealth and other resources. Of course many individual men who happen to be white experience life hardships and other disadvantages. Moreover, the group advantages enjoyed by men overall do not trickle down equally to all men on either side of the color lin...

  he California Department of Justice recently issued a notice to Black Lives Matter not only that it was in violation of state law over the failure to disclose financial records, but also that its leadership could be personally liable for the resulting fines for failing to account for $60 million in donations. How Black Lives Matter went from a hashtag to the largest movement in US history Indiana also is questioning  the organization, and Amazon has  suspended BLM donations  due to concerns over the handling and reporting of donations by the group's leadership. The problem is determining who that leadership is on an organization racked by internal conflicts, resignations and scandals. The move, however, highlights a glaring contrast to how state officials have treated BLM as opposed to the far more aggressive efforts targeting organizations like the National Rifle Association. New York is seeking to  dissolve the NRA  for som...

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56720589 Russia has launched a devastating attack on Ukraine, a European democracy of 44 million people, bombarding its cities and closing in on the capital, Kyiv, prompting a mass exodus of refugees. But why did Russia's authoritarian leader tear up a peace deal with his neighbour and unleash what European leaders have labelled "Putin's war"? He has shattered peace in Europe and thrown the continent's entire security structure into jeopardy. Why did Russian troops invade? In a pre-dawn TV address on 24 February, President Putin declared Russia could not feel "safe, develop and exist" because of what he claimed was a constant threat from modern Ukraine. Immediately, airports and military headquarters were attacked, then tanks and troops rolled in from Russia, Russian-annexed Crimea and its ally Belarus. Big cities have been shelled, neighbourhoods razed to the ground and millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes....
