UC-Berkeley: Criticism of Black Lives Matter 'goes against our values'
UC-Berkeley: Criticism of Black Lives Matter 'goes against our values'...The author, who identifies as a person of color and addresses the letter to fellow faculty members, is highly critical of the conversation surrounding systemic racism following the death of George Floyd.
The author expresses fear over the potential consequences of publicly stating the arguments in the letter.
“I am worried that writing this email publicly might lead to me losing my job, and likely all future jobs in my field.
In your recent departmental emails you mentioned our pledge to diversity, but I am increasingly alarmed by the absence of diversity of opinion on the topic of the recent protests and our community response to them,” the author wrote.
In response, UC-Berkeley’s history department took to Twitter and roundly condemned the letter.
“An anonymous letter has been circulating, purportedly written by a @UCBHistory professor. We have no evidence that this letter was written by a History faculty member. We condemn this letter: it goes against our values as a department and our commitment to equity and inclusion," the department said."...

Bubba Wallace Goes Full Kaepernick – Despite Evidence Doubles Down on False “Noose” Claim… | The Last Refuge
Bubba Wallace Goes Full Kaepernick – Despite Evidence Doubles Down on False “Noose” Claim… | The Last Refuge
"Before NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared on CNN with Don Lémon to discuss his now disproven racial “noose” targeting, he had a decision to make.
Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL.
Bubba Wallace chose the latter.
The careful wording allows the statement to skirt on the fringes of common sense truth because they don’t ‘technically’ say it’s a noose; quite simply, because it isn’t.
Saying ‘we discovered a garage door pull-down rope that appeared to be fashioned as a noose’, would illicit eye-rolls.
So they carefully avoid noting their stupidity by ignoring common sense....In essence, weak organizations are a breeding ground for communal stupid; and every one of them ends the same way. Both the NFL and NASCAR are following the same woke business plan. Watch his interview, you’ll see it:

Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL.
Bubba Wallace chose the latter.
As a result of Wallace’s new identity, and his announced career goals, NASCAR will now fragment in the same way as the National Football League.
Social justice will now define Mr. Wallace professional effort; driving with NASCAR becomes a method to achieve his new career aspirations.
That inflection point, his identity choice, is clear in his interview.
However, before getting to the interview it is worth looking at how this entire fiasco was created, starting with the carefully obtuse explanation from Richard Petty Motorsports:
Obviously Richard Petty’s team are socially woke and enlightened to their obligations in a new era of racial sensitivity.
Notice the careful wording: “discovered a rope tied in the fashion of a noose”, key word “fashion.” The careful wording allows the statement to skirt on the fringes of common sense truth because they don’t ‘technically’ say it’s a noose; quite simply, because it isn’t.
If it were a noose it would be useless as a garage door pull.
That brings up the second obtuse aspect of the sentence: “discovered a rope”, notice they don’t say it was attached to the garage door pull (which it was) because that would make their misinterpretation seem even more ridiculous. Saying ‘we discovered a garage door pull-down rope that appeared to be fashioned as a noose’, would illicit eye-rolls.

George Floyd attorney says removing statues could be dangerous - TheBlaze
George Floyd attorney says removing statues could be dangerous - TheBlaze:
Mobs have even torn down a statue honoring Ulysses S. Grant, who defeated the Confederacy. The attorney for George Floyd's family isn't so sure that tearing down statues is a constructive idea, and it might be counterproductive.
Ben Crump is a prominent civil rights attorney who has represented the families of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown Jr., Tamir Rice, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. Crump isn't sure that removing controversial statues, even Confederate monuments, will have the positive effects that some activists think it will.

Not Denmark.

Philadelphia Election Judge Admits to Stuffing Ballot Boxes for Democrats in Three Separate Elections
Philadelphia Election Judge Admits to Stuffing Ballot Boxes for Democrats in Three Separate Elections
"Former Philadelphia Judge of Elections Domenick J. DeMuro was upbraided by federal prosecutors on Thursday for admittedly committing electoral fraud in three separate primary elections.
“Our election system relies on the honesty and the integrity of its election officials,” the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania William M. McSwain said in a press release.
“If they are corrupt, the system is corrupt, which creates opportunities for election fraud and for the counting of fake votes.”
According to unsealed criminal charges, DeMuro stuffed ballot boxes in Philadelphia’s 39th Ward, 36th Division “for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections.”
One charge resulted from those instances.
DeMuro pleaded guilty to both charges.

WATCH: John Oliver mocked Trump in 2017 for suggesting Washington and Jefferson statues would fall | The Post Millennial - News, Politics, Culture, and Lifestyle
"A clip has resurfaced on Twitter of comedian John Oliver mocking President Trump for predicting that the trend of removing statues would lead to the toppling of Washington and Jefferson.
First, Oliver plays video of Trump saying, "This week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?"
Oliver then scoffs at Trump's "slippery slope" prediction: "I'll tell you where it stops. Somewhere! Any time someone asks, where does it stop, the answers' always f*cking somewhere. You might let your kid have Twizzlers, but not inject black tar heroin. You don't just go, 'Well, after the Twizzlers, where does it stop?'"
