The Macro Subjectivity of 'Microaggression' Studies | RealClearInvestigations

Part 2 of a Series on 'Social Justice' Research (Part 1 here)

"Ever since the most blatant forms of racism and discrimination in America faded, what are called microaggressions have, in the view of leftist academics and social justice activists, taken their place. These are “a form of racism,”  the slights and insults that, though subtle and small and typically unconscious, are insulting and harmful to their targets.

As noted by Edward Cantu and Lee Jussim -- respectively, a law professor at the University of Missouri and a professor of social psychology at Rutgers -- microaggressions are a hot topic, as universities, diversity trainers, and others are “operationalizing” the microaggression idea “as if it were the product of rigorous science.”

Are you dissing me?

SHVETS production

But in an exhaustive analysis of the research supporting the “current microaggression construct,” or CMC, Cantu and Jussim find that a microaggression is basically what a microaggression researcher subjectively believes it to be, with almost nothing in the way of scientific evidence that racism is embedded in it or that its alleged victims even see it as racist or harmful...Read all.

Biden Admin Wants UN to Investigate America's 'Racism' - Louder With Crowder

Biden Admin Wants UN to Investigate America's 'Racism' - Louder With Crowder: Joe Biden is going to spend the next three years calling America racist. That's the administration's plan, facts be damned. There is no other way to look at it. He calls voter integrity laws just like the Civil War even though his party lost the battle of telling people voter ID laws are racist. His education department wants to teach children how racist America is and has always been, ignoring all the non-white parents fighting back over it. If Joe Biden wants to find racism, he should consider looking in the mirror. Instead, he has his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken calling for the United Nations to investigate us.

Warning to young folks!

 

"What if the real purpose was to get to the point they are at today..."

John F. Di Leo
"From the beginning, there has been a conspiracy theory, of sorts, that the China virus was put out there essentially to defeat the Trump administration.
But what if that was just a side issue for them? 

What if the real purpose was to get to the point they are at today, having built up such a complete cult of fear, all around one specific virus, so that they could completely control speech, by labeling any question about it misinformation?
The clamor in recent weeks to use the fascist approach of the federal government ordering big corporations to do their bidding.

Claiming the right to directly order big tech to shut down all communication with which they disagree.

This may be the most anti-American, authoritarian move yet.--John F Di Leo"

"“The Second Amendment from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. … Well, the tree of liberty is not [watered with] the blood of patriots, what’s happened is that there never been, if you want, if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons,” said Biden at a recent speech.
...According to The Reload, Smith & Wesson’s sales were up by more than 100 percent from 2019. Smith & Wesson was not the only firearms manufacturer to make record revenues in 2020.

The “Taylor Swift Study Day: Eras, Narrative, Digital Music, and Media” event was organized by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute ethnomusicologist Kate Galloway who said of Swift’s music “There’s a tendency to not study, or discount, your ‘guilty pleasure’ listening […] Why not take it seriously? Why not unpack why that is?”
According to the Times Union, the conference features an “international panel of researchers and experts” who will pontificate on “digital fandom and collaboration[,] genre negotiation, identity, and the business of music stardom.”...Read all.

'Complete bulls**t': CNN's Erin Burnett gets no bleeps as she blasts vaccine-hesitant conservative politicians, journalists - TheBlaze

'Complete bulls**t': CNN's Erin Burnett gets no bleeps as she blasts vaccine-hesitant conservative politicians, journalists - TheBlaze: 

During her Wednesday "OutFront" show, CNN's Erin Burnett decorated her disgust with conservative figures' vaccine hesitancy with a "bulls**t" cherry on top. Burnett began her segment by highlighting "deadly disinformation about COVID vaccines, much of it coming from Republican lawmakers and right-wing media." With that she showed clips of GOP lawmakers such as Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado stating their disagreement with getting the shots.

Cuba lies!

Rafael Viego
"Food and medicine has been excluded from the embargo for the last 21 years when President Clinton signed Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (TSRA) law. 

According to Amnesty International, in 2008 alone, Cuba imported $700 Million worth of food and agricultural products. 

So this talking point about the US preventing food and medicine to Cuba is a lie and propaganda. 

• This claim that the US embargo is the cause of misery for Cubans is BS. 
• Cuba trades with much of the world and has many natural resources. 

And let’s add what many of us in Miami already know:
— The US embargo does not prohibit fishers in Cuba from fishing; the dictatorship does.
— The US embargo does not prohibit the Cuban people from eating meat; the dictatorship does.
— The US embargo does not confiscate the food they harvest from the peasants; the dictatorship does.
— The US embargo does not allow animals to die, and fruit and vegetables rot in the countryside while Cubans go hungry; the dictatorship does...
...Last year alone, the U.S. exported $176 million of goods to Cuba. 

In the first six months of 2021, Cuba imported $123 million worth of chicken from the United States — just as an example.
The Cuban government has an internal blockade on its citizens. 

It has the Cuban people imprisoned in Cuba, hostages of a totalitarian government....Much more. Read all.
