How’s That Hopey Changey Thing Working Out For Ya?

Sarah Palin;

“We do know this much for certain: Had the races been reversed, the usual suspects would have had much to say. White teens beat up an elderly black veteran and leave him for dead? White teens shoot a talented black athlete visiting from another country? Riots. I make these observations not to exacerbate a problem but in the hope that we can stop this craziness before things escalate.”

Whoops again! That’s the Washington Post.

The W Word

Black Rod;

Way back in February, the Black Rod uncovered the fact that one of the founders of Idle No More, Sheelah McLean, is an academic who specializes in the study of Whiteness.
You read that right. Whiteness.
Whiteness is an actual field of study into—well, being white.
That’s a bad thing, according to the specialists of Whiteness. You see, white people are privileged because they’re white and they benefit from the fact that whites make the rules of society. So even if they claim to be “do gooders”, they’re bad because they’re whites and they don’t even realize they’re actually racists.

But let’s back up a little … “Manitoba deputy premier sorry for ‘white people’ remark”. Apology not accepted.

“An honest conversation about race? Bring it on.”

We’re not allowed to discuss, during this “honest conversation”, the motivations of both people involved in the incident that caused the “honest conversation.” If we were, we’d be discussing the hip-hop culture and its macho bullshit. We’d be discussing broken families. We would be discussing street fighting. We would be discussing how a kid gets suspended three times from school. We’d dive into the world Trayvon Martin lived in to see what transpires during 17 years of life that would give someone the idea that jumping a guy you didn’t know was a thing you could do without serious consequences.
But we’re not having that conversation. We’re not being honest.

Read it all.

A division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was deployed to Sanford, Florida in 2012 to provide assistance for anti-George Zimmerman protests, including a rally headlined by activist Al Sharpton, according to newly released documents.
The Community Relations Service (CRS), a unit of DOJ, reported expenses related to its deployment in Sanford to help manage protests between March and April 2012, according to documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch.

Why Not A White Star Sewn On Their Clothing?

CNS News;

[The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction] devotes an entire Web page to “Power and Privilege,” including links to racial justice workshops and online tests where VISTA volunteers can “learn about your personal bias.”
One “diversity” document linked to DPI’s Web site suggests that white people “wear a white wristband as a reminder about your privilege, and as a personal commitment to explain why you wear the wristband.”

What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

University!

During his testimony Wednesday, Thandiwe suggested that his reason for even purchasing the gun he used in the shootings was to enforce beliefs he’d developed about white people during his later years as an anthropology major at the University of West Georgia.
“I was trying to prove a point that Europeans had colonized the world, and as a result of that, we see a lot of evil today,” he said. “In terms of slavery, it was something that needed to be answered for. I was trying to spread the message of making white people mend.”

A reader writes;

I was at the Toronto District School Board “Futures” conference on Equity the last 2 days and it was every bit as frightening as you would imagine. 300 teachers gave race huckster Tim Wise a standing ovation after he concluded his idiotic rant (via Skype because his flight was fogged in) about how al the ills in the education system are caused by “white privilege” and we need to focus on and accommodate non-whites the way we do disabled people.
