Black students going to progressive colleges and committing white supremacist hate hoaxes against their own community is a bizarre phenomenon. It happens several times a year now. I really want to know what is going on psychologically with a person who does that.
I have a theory—and this is just a theory. I wonder if black students come to college expecting to encounter the overt racism you often see in poor communities and instead encounter something worse-more insidious: white liberal coddling & condescending racism...
They enter the University, full of white progressives, who I think are the most racist people in our country right now. They deal with this babying, patronizing leftist racism that is just as dehumanizing as any other kind of racism, but they are in an environment where the...
...racism is called “anti-racism.” They are gaslit every day to believe the white liberal racism they experience is actually a good thing. Every one of these hoax attacks seem designed to paint the university community as racist. Well, they are. Maybe black students are simply...
trying to, in some weird, desperate way, to drag the insidious racism of white progressives into the open in a way that people will actually respond to. We should all be marching against the progressive woke racism of these universities, and calling it out for what it is.
...again, this is just a theory. You are welcome to pick it apart and offer alternatives. I’ve heard about the “supply to meet demand” idea, but I think there’s more to it.
There’s also the idea that we live in a narcissist culture and this is a cheap way to get attention. There’s something to that too. Many layers. (End thread)

How many bad pilots will be crammed through the flight program to meet diversity requirements? How many good pilots will lose their dream for not having the right skin color? How long until this causes an accident? How many women and people of color will die in that accident?
I went to college to be a pilot. Everyone in my program was a white guy, even though over 50% of the students in my college were women and people of color were over represented as a percentage of the local population. If United is gonna meet these diversity quotas...
They’ll have to address why some people FREELY CHOOSE to not become pilots, because no one is stopping anybody. The truth is, most women just aren’t interested in being pilots.

There has been an ongoing effort to classify The Babylon Bee as “disinformation” rather than satire. It has been a fight since Snopes started fact-checking us in 2019. They don’t do this to The Onion. This conversation between Wiki editors is illuminating. Image
They desperately want The Babylon Bee to be censored. I wonder why...
I should add that these “fact-checks” from Snopes, USA Today, and now Newsweek, are done with partnership/funding from Facebook. FB has wanted us gone ever since we started going viral on their platform. They’re paying journos to give their censorship the look of legitimacy.

Incredible. Two Facebook-funded researchers sent out @TheBabylonBee satire to trick people, but they hid the source, removed the headline and picture, and re-phrased the claim to make it sound more real. Then they used the data to prove that Babylon Bee is deceiving people??
@TheBabylonBee Here are the original authors of the study. Two of them funded by Facebook. Is Facebook using their crap research, laundering it through @snopes , then using that as an impetus for removing @TheBabylonBee content with invisible algorithms? Check this out...
@TheBabylonBee @snopes Here is another article written by this guy talking about fighting fake news algorithmically by recognizing "common word patterns" in "fake news" and assigning a credibility score based on data from...wait for it...
@snopes. They are trying to censor
@TheBabylonBee invisibly.
