“‘Everyone wants equity as long as it doesn’t inconvenience them,’ said Eric Moore, senior officer for accountability, research and equity for Minneapolis Public Schools.”
What do you pay taxes for if not to be inconvenienced and sometimes put in danger? nytimes.com/2021/11/27/us/…
“Racially segregated schools.. are associated with larger gaps in student performance, because they tend to concentrate students of color in high poverty environments.” Which is why high poverty zones like all of China never have been to able to achieve anything academically.
“There was no direct bus, and Isabella’s commute could take up to 55 minutes. She would also have to walk from the bus stop to school through an area where frequent gun shots are a problem.
But Ms. Wulfsberg, who described herself as a lifelong Democrat, felt..” You can guess!
White Americans needing to pretend to be very into Japanese and sign language because they’re too afraid to say they don’t want their kids to get beaten up or sexually assaulted.
Oh you thought you could move to the suburbs? They have a plan for that, and don’t worry the “state would pay for transportation.”
White lifelong Democrat holds on to her tiny daughter for dear life as she tries to convince you it’s all about the Japanese program.
Could’ve sworn the Supreme Court did away with this stuff?

This has erupted into an important story on conservative, neo-con and Russiagate Twitter, as they've found common cause. Story is fake news from African papers. Nat sec propaganda moved on from Middle East to China, there's too much there to even shoot it all down.
Don't blame people for getting caught up in this, most can't investigate everything. So you should start with prior that the same people who were lying about Russiagate and GWOTr are lying about China, and propagandizing to make everyone "independently" arrive at same conclusions
I don't do a thorough independent fact check for every tweet. At least, if I see a story from an unfamiliar news source, I will do 5 secs of googling before sharing. Check out how many people don't meet that standard, blue checks across political spectrum.
“They’re not inclined to let politics order their daily life, and certainly not their lifestyles or personal aspirations.” Inside the “Let’s Go Brandon” fest. politico.com/news/magazine/…
Indications they’re now naming everything in their life Brandon.
Journalist puts on Detroit Tigers hat to fit in with the Brandons.
Facebook’s algorithm was problematic because it treated expressions of hatred for whites and men same as for other groups. It therefore had a “disparate impact” against minorities, which it should’ve revealed to “civil rights leaders.” washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Facebook rejected a plan to treat speech directed against people who were “Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, Muslim or of multiple races” more harshly, another sign of their “racism.” They finally agreed though to stop automatically taking down criticisms of whites, Americans and men.
It’s clear here that Facebook was taking into account conservative considerations, but was being pushed by the media and civil rights orgs. Focusing on big tech and woke capital are a mistake, they’re all being pushed by the same people in the same direction.
I remember @jneeley78 made the joke that this would happen after the vaccine was available, and I thought it was funny but an exaggeration. Nice job, anti-vaxxers, I didn’t think you could pull this off, you’ve been a uniquely “effective” movement. wsj.com/articles/u-s-c…
Finally an intellectually coherent case for being anti-vax.
CNN analyst saying he had a strong self-defense case. MSNBC has a black reporter on very angry. Going to Jacob Blake’s uncle for some reason. Because he goes around trying to convict all white people now?
Finally reading The Afghanistan Papers, by Craig Whitlock. Attempts to train Afghan forces sound like something out of science fiction, where modern people travel back in time and meet medieval peasants. Afghans didn't know their colors and mistook urinals for drinking fountains.
Children thought the color on a black soldier's skin would come off.
US Army Major: “I hate to say it, but there was a lot of inbreeding. The district chief had three thumbs."
"US troops referred to the practice as 'man-love Thursday'... Maj. Randy James... recalled a tense encounter in 2003 when an Afghan man approached a baby-faced male American soldier in his unit and declared, 'You’re my wife.'"
