The Lessons of Savannah and BLM

 Lessons of Savannah and BLMFrank Hawkins – A few years ago, a young Florida relative of mine went off to a prestigious northeastern college as a pre-med student. As a good athlete, she joined one of the girls’ sports teams and was a starter on the varsity squad as a freshman.

The team was a mixed group of black and white students who had come from all over the U.S. As the girls met for the first time, my relative was accosted by a black teammate from Brooklyn who, discovering she was from Florida, said to her face, “You’re a racist.” In other words, if you were from Florida (or the South) you must be a racist.

Equal Opportunity or Equal Outcome?

Jon Henschen – The financial services industry has evolved on the topic of equality over the last five years. Five years ago, firms were encouraged to bring greater diversity and equality to the workplace.  Over time the message became increasingly urgent and instead of encouraging, industry writers started to guilt firms to speed up the process of back-office employees and advisors hired reflecting greater diversity and equality.  More recently the tone of articles has shifted to shaming firms that haven’t made enough “progress” in equality/diversity advances.

New Chrome Extension Changes The Word “White” To “Black” On Liberal Websites-The Results Are Hilarious

Daniel Lang – One of the most glaring double standards of the left, is how they criticize the actions and statements of white people. At a certain point, liberals decided that only white people could be racist, so they could say whatever outrageous thing they wanted about them. You can see this in action on just about every liberal website, such as Huffington Post, Salon, or Buzzfeed.

They are completely unaware of their own hypocrisy, but it’s quite obvious to everyone else on the political spectrum. All one has to do, is imagine if a liberal said the same thing about another race. It becomes clear that if the shoe was on the other foot, than what they’re saying would be considered super racist.

Well imagine no more. You can now download a Chrome extension called the Racism Simulator, which will comb through left leaning websites, and automatically replace the word “white” with “black.”

According to the description of the Chrome extension: “Ever see articles bashing certain groups and thought to yourself how totally not okay it would be if the groups were replaced with another group? This extension swaps the groups being written about on HuffingtonPost, Salon, Buzzfeed, Jezebel, and Gawker to show how much racism, sexism, and outright nastiness they get away with because they chose to target an ‘oppressor’ group.” Continue reading
