I've been reading a book about Pauli Murray It's called Polly Murray's Revolutionary Life and their life definitely ahead of their time. Today invention Lloyd games and his victory at the supreme court To de segregate the university of Missouri law school
He came up because Pauli Contemplated filing and similar suit against the University of North Carolina. Lloyd Gaines won one of the 1st lawsuits desegregating a public education institution. Lloyd wanted to go to law school And applied to the university of Missouri
Missouri state law prohibited The admission of black students So they offered him a scholarship to go to law school elsewhere. He sued In lost at the state supreme court but won at the US supreme court. No let me quote directly from the book
"When the day came for Gaines to enroll he disappeared. Perhaps he slunk into obscurity because he did not want to endure the lonely hardship of being where he was not wanted, perhaps he received threats to his life or maybe he was actually murdered.
That mystery has never been solved."

What the hell?
You can read more about him here. Does anyone really think he was not murdered?

Does anyone know why so many of the game ads are so awful. So I do "Happy Color" and solitaire on my Kindle & there are ads for Lily's Garden, Matchington Mansion, etc that show a pregnant woman being cheated on and going off to a dilapidated money pit in a snow storm with infant
Why would that scenario make me want to play the game? It really makes me want to break things. I will never play the Homescapes, Garden, etc games because of this shit.
Then there are the 4patriots ads for MREs to last x months...and they show them being cooked in the kitchen. The stove works but not the fridge?

Not to mention 4 patriots is such a polarizing name and you know they're insurrectionists who think treason is patriotism

I have tweeted a few times how the country needs a Black Liberation version of ALEC - the white supremacist think tank producing racist model legislation that spreads throughout the country. Well, @itsafronomics has made a start with a book

I know journalism is unlike other professions in critical ways but one way baffles me because it seems counterproductive to their employers and to society. It is a damaging difference that privileges reporters in ways that cause active and substantial harm to the country
If Maggie Haberman or Bob Woodward worked for 3M and if, in the course of their regular job, they learned something or discovered something, that discovery would belong to 3M to decide what to do with it.
If they decided to sell it later to someone else to profit from it, they would be sued and 3M would win. After all, they were paid to do the work and saving it for later cheats their employer.

Very few people in the media will support any sort of consequences for abhorrent & 'offensive speech, even the consequences of you & I deciding not to subscribe to their platform. Why? They see themselves in the same place. They imagine themselves being boycotted.
Ana Kasparian & Marianne Williamson make their living by getting people to listen to them, so any consequence that involves NOT listening to someone scares the socialist out of them & they become grubby capitalists who only care about their own income stream.
And of course, with Kasparian, you get the usual progressive denial of racism as the central organizing principle of America. These are class-not-race folks because they believe the errors of someone who never experienced US racism rather than actual history and experience

If an artist deciding not to stream their music on Spotify is really "the most despicable efforts in [a] lifetime" then what is the answer. Do Jon Steward and Saagar Enjeti, et. al. want artists to be forced to stream? Should we consumers be forced to subscribe to Spotify?
I mean, everyone is using their free choice as artists and consumers. There is no government involvement here. But these men so desperate to protect Joe Rogan think we don't have the right of free association, to disassociate if we choose. Jon Stewart & Saager Enjeti etc
Saagar Enjeti are upset that artists are willing to risk loss of income to disassociate from someone who is killing people with misinformation and adding to the racial animus in the world with blatant and unabashed racism. Enjeti says its the most despicable thing in his lifetime

I like Below Deck but there were a few major failings this season. No white person has any excuse for using the racist epithet or its adjacent form used in rapping, even if they are rapping. No white person has any excuse ever. Not even to tell a story about someone saying it
And a Black person who is offended by a white person using that word does not have to forgive that person, no matter how many times they apologize. That can be a permanent bar to any relationship with complete justification.
But Rayna should have had the wherewithal to tell Heather she is not forgiven and will never be forgiven. That's a perfectly justifiable reaction and she has no need to forgive her.
