It seems that the CDC has been doing firearm homicide studies. The study found that the rate of gun homicides among Black males between the ages of 10-24 was 21.6 times higher than white males of the same age. I guarantee you that this means the CDC is about to have its gun violence budget cut.
The CDC also claimed that the study showed that planting trees and grass on vacant lots reduces firearm violence by nearly a third.
A few days ago, I posted about Florida refusing to buy certain math textbooks because they contained CRT and SEL propaganda, and the state is trying to keep political topics out of elementary school. No groomers allowed, to put it bluntly.
Now the state has finally given some examples and reasons for why they rejected some textbooks. Take a look:
It’s subtle, but they are grooming the kids in their care, so that they grow up to be good little communists.
Grooming kids to become little communists. That is why these books were rejected. I took the Implicit Association Test, and it is garbage. It asks questions like “Are those that you are sexually attracted to mostly of a similar skin tone?” and “Do you think that certain skin tones have an advantage over others in making money?”
Garbage. This isn’t math, and it isn’t science. It’s propaganda.
According to this article, everyone should tip 20% no matter what.
You cannot will yourself to be blind to physical differences. Remove those biases by deciding to tip 20% before ever laying eyes on your server. Don’t even bring the quality of your service into the equation.
First, they attempt to quote scholarly sources like the characters in Harry Potter:
The sometimes-wise Sirius Black tells always-garbage Ron Weasley, “If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” Well said, dog stars!
The odd part is that this moron doesn’t even know that JK Rowling plagiarized that line from numerous historical figures.
Then they appeal to your leftist cred, because if you don’t tip at least 20%, you are a racist or something.
The tipping system also opens up opportunities for us to flex our unconscious biases. Racism, sexism, ageism, and ableism decimate the earning potential of many competent servers.
Not to be appropriative, but: you’re woke, aren’t you? A big part of being woke is admitting that you have unconscious biases.
Then they proceed to make flawed analogies:
I work a salaried job. I have bad days—days where I am grouchy, disorganized, and distracted. You know what my company doesn’t do in response? Send me a smaller paycheck that month.
Here is the flaw in your argument, cupcake: I am not your employer. You don’t work for me, I have absolutely no contractual obligation to you. If you don’t like your job or what you get paid, get a different job. To show you exactly how asinine and flawed your position is, I could use your same logic and apply it to my own job: If I have a great day at work and save your life, will you give me extra money in appreciation? If I have a bad day and kill your mother when I accidentally give her the wrong medication, shouldn’t I still get paid the same amount as when I saved a life?
This mental midget then goes on to make the classic threat that they always make: threaten to spit in your food.
You need an ID to open a bank account, use public transport, receive welfare, food stamps, or even enter many Federal buildings. However, asking to see ID to make sure someone only votes once is racism or something.
So many things are racism now that even claiming that you aren’t racist makes you a racist in the eyes of the Federal government. According to recent CRT training given to Federal employees, the things that make you racist include:
So pretty much anything you do or say, including doing or saying nothing, makes you a racist, if you are white. In other words, if you exist and are white, you are a racist who wants to keep minorities from voting.
The boxcars will be coming soon. Refusing to get into them is racist.
A college admissions officer is surprised to learn that more minorities get into college when the only factors that matter are inflated grades and the color of your skin.
JKB over at GunFreezone posts about lefties who want to have “an honest, tough conversation about race.” You’re kidding me, right? It seems like that’s all we ever do is talk about race. I’ve been posting the inconvenient facts for well over a decade.
OK. Let’s start here:
A recent shooting in an Orlando area high school is a perfect illustration. An 18 year old student’s father wants him to be a football star. He gets shot because reasons by a 16 year old student who attends the same high school. Both are black.
Now you think that I am going to talk about the shooting. Nope. One black teen shooting another is so commonplace, it’s become cliché. No, I am going to talk about the McIntyre’s father pushing him to be a football player. See, according to MaxPreps, the kid only played for one season. He is 18 years old, and still only has enough credits to be a junior. He should be graduating this year, but has failed too many classes to do so.
As an 18 year old, fifth year senior with only 4 solo tackles and 5 games played, he is a bench warmer. His father hasn’t made him value education, and has settled on the last refuge of a failed high school career- “I’m gonna be a sports star.” The truth here is that he isn’t going to be a sports anything. At 18 years old, he has already become a cliché. He didn’t attend school, tried playing football for a month or two, and is now facing a life of poverty, minimum wage, and joblessness. He is more likely to spend his life in jail than he is to earn an above average salary. Because of all of this, he will blame police, white people’s privilege, gun violence, and everything else OTHER than his own actions.
In the eight years that I was a teacher, I can’t tell you how many young men, especially black men, told me that they were going to be sports stars. Hundreds. My wife has been a teacher for 18 years. She has seen thousands make the same claim. In all of that time, we have seen exactly five of them make it past the high school level and into a division 1 sports program. Only one has made the pros.
One student out of the thousands of students. Your odds of getting a good job are better if you go to school and learn a trade. Don’t expect that you can skip school, get nothing but failing grades, then play a sport for a few weeks and become a millionaire. That almost NEVER happens.
Blacks need to stop using and selling drugs, stop impregnating their young women before walking out on them, they need to stay in school. Stop calling the few blacks who DO become successful “Oreo”, “Uncle Tom”, or “Carlton” and encourage success in a profession other than Rapper, Athlete, or Drug Dealer.
You aren’t going to do that by demanding that the police be defunded. You can’t do it at the point of a gun, nor while a member of a street gang.
How is that for an honest, tough discussion?
The city of Orlando is out to help local businesses that have been hurt by COVID the government’s lockdowns and restrictions. White owned businesses need not apply.
American Airlines and Delta are scrapping the requirement that their pilots have a 4 year degree, because requiring people to be educated is racist or something.
Remember what happened last time major airlines were flown by pilots without degrees.
In Tennessee, a black man was granted a new trial because the room where the jury deliberated had historical displays in it that contained a portrait of Jefferson Davis and an example of the Third Flag of the Confederacy (which was only in use for 36 days before Lee’s surrender).
Ivy league schools no longer use testing to see if applicants know stuff.
