You can get mad and have a tantrum. It is what it is. Afrika, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Americas, etc. Europe has spread more death and disease then anyone. The minute you stand up to them INSTANT GENOCIDE!

Banning the teaching of systemic racism is actually a perfect example of systematic racism

Willie Earle is shown in a police mug shot. Accused of robbing and killing a white taxi driver, he was lynched by a group of whites in 1947. On February 17, 1947, Willie Earle, a twenty-four year old African-American man, was being held in the Pickens County Jail in South Carolina, on charges of assaulting a white taxi cab driver. A mob of white men, mostly taxi cab drivers, seized Mr. Earle from the jail, took him to a deserted country road near Greenville, brutally beat him with guns and knives, and then shot him to death. When arrested, twenty-six of the thirty-one defendants gave full statements admitting participation in Earle’s death. A trial commenced, and at its start, Judge J. Robert Martin warned that he would “not allow racial issues to be injected in this case.”During the ten-day trial, the defendants chewed gum and chuckled each time the victim was mentioned. The defense did not present any witnesses or evidence to rebut the confessions, and instead blamed “northern interference” for bringing the case to trial at all. At one point, the defense attorney likened Earle to a “mad dog” that deserved killing, and the mostly white spectators laughed in support. Despite the undisputed confession, the all-white jury acquitted the defendants of all charges on May 21, 1947, and the judge ordered them released. Some Greenville leaders cited the trial as progress in Southern race relations: “This was the first time that South Carolina has brought mass murder charges against alleged lynchers. This jury acquitted them. If there should be another case, perhaps we may get a mistrial with a hung jury. Eventually, the south may return convictions.” In 1948, when Earle’s mother attempted to collect under a state law ordering counties to pay two thousand dollars to the family of a lynching victim, her claim was denied on the grounds that, due to the acquittals, there was no proof her son had been lynched. In 2010, an historical marker was erected near the site of Willie Earle’s murder. #BlackHistory #WhiteHistory #criticalracetheory #reparations https://www.instagram.com/p/CoyOuTBrYKH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Long Way Down” by Jason Reynolds Review [Warning: Contains Spoilers]

Long Way Down broke a trend for me, and also didn’t. I wanted to read something that wouldn’t be classified as “fantasy” or “horror” or “science fiction” just so that I could say that I did. This book was on a reading list for a class I’m taking. It’s about a young man who sets out to avenge his brother’s murder. It’s a gangbanger story told like a romantic tragedy, and when our main character…

Continuing my review and summarization of Project 2025, Chapter 18 covers the Dept of Labor and related agencies

1. Reclaim the role of each American worker as the protagonist in his or her own life and to restore the family as the centerpiece of American life

2. Reverse the DEI revolution in labor policy. 

3. Eliminate racial classifications and critical race theory training. 

4. Eliminate disparate impact liability. 

5. Restrict application of sex discrimination protections to sexual orientation and transgender status in the context of hiring and firing, rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis

of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, and sex characteristics, and focus enforcement of sex discrimination laws on the biological binary meaning of “sex.”

6. Protect life and promote pro-family policies

7. Pass a law requiring equal (or greater) benefits for pro-life support for mothers and clarifying abortion exclusions

8. Keep anti-life “benefits” out of benefit plans

9. Provide robust protections for religious employers and issue an executive order protecting religious employers and employees

10. This actually makes sense: Enact the Working Families Flexibility Act to allow employees in the private sector the ability to choose between receiving time-and-a-half pay or accumulating time-and-a-half paid time off 

11. This actually makes sense: Equalize retirement savings access across married households and work- based retirement savings accounts should be double the limit for individuals, regardless of the allocation of work between the couple

12. This actually makes sense: require that the Consumer Price Index market basket include measurable family-essential goods.

13. Allow employers and employees to set a two- or four-week period over which to calculate overtime. 

14. Amend hazard-order regulations and allow teenage workers to work in regulated jobs with proper training and parental consent.

15. Remove ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) compliance regarding climate change, decreasing greenhouse emissions, racial quotas, abortion, and other “liberal” issues from TSP, the federal pension plan

16. Cap then phase down the H-2A visa program and phase out the H-2B visa program

17. Mandate that all new federal contracts require 70% of employees to be US citizens

18. Maximize hiring of political appointees in the DOL, implement a hiring freeze for career officials. NB: Political appointee ≠ qualified appointee, simply a Trump "yes" man.

"Critical Dilemma"-Autoren Shenvey und Sawyer bei Alisa Childers

https://youtu.be/LjndIRsQS0M?si=AhJU7qIE_6jalveI Ist die Bewegung für soziale Gerechtigkeit Mit dem Evangelium vereinbar? Neil Shenvi und Pat Sawyer zu Gast bei Alisa Childers Wer mittlerweile Carl Truemans Standardwerk "Der Siegeszug des modernen Selbst" zum Thema Trans-Ideologie vs. Evangelikalismus durchgearbeitet hat und auf diesem so wichtigen Gebiet weiterarbeiten möchte, dem sei eine aktuelle Folge aus Alisa Childers großartigem Podcast empfohlen. In dieser Episode sind Neil Shenvey und Pat Sawyer zu Gast bei Alisa Childers Podcast und diskutieren deren neues Buch "Critical Dilemma: The Rise of Critical Theories and Social Justice Ideology Implications for the Church and Society" vor. "Critical Theory" und "Contemporary Critical Theory" sprechen verschiedene soziale Ungerechtigkeiten an und gehen letztendlich auf die neomarxistische Frankfurter Schule zurück. Die Autoren heben hervor, dass, obwohl einige Ideen daraus wertvoll sein können, die Kritische Theorie dazu neigt, das Denken zu dominieren und mit einer evangelikalen Weltsicht letztlich nicht vereinbar ist. Die Autoren warnen jedoch davor, dass diese Theorien aber nichtsdestotrotz in unsere evangelikalen Gemeinden einsickern. Die Verbindung zwischen Queer-Theorie und kritischer Theorie wird ebenfalls diskutiert, wobei toxische Auswirkungen auf gesellschaftliche Normen beleuchtet werden. Die Autoren betonen die Wichtigkeit, berechtigte Anliegen von problematischen Aspekten zu unterscheiden und kritisieren Ideen ohne Verurteilung der Menschen dahinter. Das englische Buch "Critical Dilemma" erscheint voraussichtlich am 3.10.23. Im Chat heisst es, wenn man es bei Amazon vorbestelle, erhalte man derzeit 37 % Rabatt und eine kostenlose Diskussionsanleitung auf der Website des Autors. Diese Anleitung eigne sich gut für Buchclubs, Sonntagsschulklassen und College-Kurse. Read the full article

Mark Twain & Pudd’nhead’s Satire: The One Drop Rule

Welcome back Everyone!! It’s me again with the deep thoughts. For this week of the blog, we are discussing Pudd’nhead Wilson. Not just the novel, but the underlying tones of issues within the book. Hopefully I won’t get side tracked this week with a philosophical “What does it all mean” posting again.  Either way, thank you for reading!

Mark Twain published his book Pudd’nhead Wilson in 1893. Twain had already written other works and had them published before then. He also had already earned his title of a worker of satire by this point. Pudd’nhead WIlson follows three plot lines within the same town: A northerner named David moved to a Missouri town to be a lawyer who gets shunned from the small town and nicknamed Pudd’nhead, A slave woman named Roxy makes a hard decision in the beginning of the story to save her child by switching him with the master’s newborn who looks equal skin tone as her master’s child and born around the same time, and by the end of the novel- An untimely murder mystery that blames innocent men. Twain laces satire throughout the story to master his invested meanings. 

There are two things to remember when reading Pudd’nhead WIlson. The first thing is to remember that this is a society that focused on  ‘The One Drop Rule’. Outlandish ideas and uneducated Psuedoscience held people of this time in a choke hold about the concept that if a white person even had ‘one drop’ of African American blood in them, that they were considered themselves as a black person (which in this time ties them to a life of enslavement and oppression). While the readers are to sympathize with Roxy as a mother, she makes an unbelievable choice in the name of protecting her child. She switches her child for the master’s child who is just a couple days different in age and have the same skin complexion.  The fact that both children are the same color of skin complected with different family lineage shows just how diverse genetics can be. The master’s child was born from two white people while Roxy gives birth to a child 1/16 of Black Ancestry. (A modern day example is looking at pictures of Tamara Mowery’s son who is ‘a quarter of Black Ancestry’ has the same amount as White Passing Actress Troian Bellisario). Genetics work in multiple different complex ways, and children can look the same or different from the counterparts. It were the adults of this time that bothered doing the work to investigate the lineage of each person to strike them out as they do others with Black Ancestry. 

Another thing to take into consideration is the conversation of Nature vs. Nurture. This topic feels like it holds reservation in every conversation these days. However, the way that Twain describes the lives that the switched individuals puts a spotlight on the subject as he dissects it for satire.  The Nature vs. Nurture concept was coined in the Enlightenment Period by Francis Galton. The subject covers the debate or whether it is either your physical environment (Nurture) or your genetic ancestry (Nature) that describes who you become. 

Twain opens this conversation of Nature vs. Nurture with satire with talking about how the swapped children grow out. Roxy’s child (now named Tom) grew up to be a criminal and a murderer after being saved from the life of a black, enslaved person. The master’s child (now named Chambers) was raised as a slave with torture and oppression just to grow up to be a civilized man. Once the truth was exposed, Chambers was recognized as an heir to his estate and legally in charge of the entire plantation.  

Mark Twain places Satire in each aspect of this novel showing the immoral practices ‘Blood Searching’, Racial Speculation, and the Enslavement of Black People. While Twain gives his audience and readers something to sit and think of, they enjoy the laughs that come with solving a murder by accident. 

I do not feel like this kind of approach would work in modern day society. How we could find plenty of stories with symbolism and skewed meanings that underly bigger issues. Showing someone with 1/16 of Black Ancestry as “naturally violent and a town hassle” would only add to the list of many harmful stereotypes that white people have created against the black community.

N3gro Boys Industrial School Fire of 1959 AKA: Wrightsville Fire of 1959 On March 5, 1959, twenty-one African American boys burned to death inside a dormitory at an Arkansas reform school in Wrightsville (Pulaski County). The doors were locked from the outside. The fire mysteriously ignited around 4:00 a.m. on a cold, wet morning, following earlier thunderstorms in the same area of rural Pulaski County. The institution was one mile down a dirt road from the mostly Black town of Wrightsville, then an unincorporated hamlet thirteen miles south of Little Rock (Pulaski County). Forty-eight children, ages thirteen to seventeen, managed to claw their way to safety by knocking out two of the window screens. Amidst the choking, blinding smoke and heat, four or five boys at a time tried to fight their way forward through the narrow openings as the fire began to devour them. Survivors never forgot the horror of that fire. The wife of one of the survivors later said, in an interview before her husband’s death from cancer, that he had continued to dream about the fire. The event brought attention to this largely forgotten institution that was operating during the Jim Crow era in Arkansas. Founded in 1923, the Arkansas N3gro Boys Industrial School (NBIS) was, for most of its existence, a juvenile work farm located first outside Pine Bluff (Jefferson County) and then, in the mid-1930s, outside of Wrightsville. #BlackHistory #CriticalRaceTheory #WrightsvilleFire #WrightsvilleMassacre https://www.instagram.com/p/CpfetM9LDNn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Francis Howell School District school board in #Missouri has stirred controversy by voting to eliminate two high school courses, "Black History" and "Black Literature," designed to address discrimination within the district. These courses were introduced in 2021 following reports of discrimination experienced by students and staff. The decision to remove the courses has sparked debate, with some claiming that the curriculums contain elements of #criticalracetheory (#CRT) and are based on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Learning for Justice project, which aims to combat white supremacy and promote human rights. Parents and students protested the removal, arguing that it limits education and infringes on their right to learn about various topics without ridicule. Others supported the board's move, stating that they would only back the courses without a "progressive political agenda." A petition with over 3,000 signatures calls for the reinstatement of the courses, emphasizing their importance in understanding American history and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Earlier this year, the school board also rescinded its "anti-racism" resolution, which had been established in response to #GeorgeFloyd's murder in 2020, citing a lack of evidence that it benefited students. The Southern Poverty Law Center criticized the decision, stating that it harms all students and defended its Learning for Justice standards as a roadmap for anti-bias education. The school district did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
