#Jeramey Whited

updated couples thoughts after finishing episode 6:

kenneth & brittany: ok idk her saying that he “identifies as black” was a very odd way to say it but i’m hoping it was just in a “white woman conscious of racism fumbles the phrasing.” i still think they’re cute, i don’t like christians in general but if i had to pick two i guess they fit together well and they seem nice AND way more mature than their ages

amy & johnny: tbh they’re just… there for me. which tells me they’re the healthiest and most genuine. but like… idk. they’re boring sorry 😭 but at least they’re not gaslighting each other and also i thought it was interesting that amy dipped out as soon as the other girls started chatting LMAO

ad & clay: clay is giving andrew tate and i’m not a fan. the gym comments were weird and ad feels more like his mom that he wants to fuck than a wife

jeramey & laura: they’re not gonna make it LOL jeramey is annoying as fuck (and also who spells jeremy like that) and laura is kinda weird ngl but still nice i guess 😭

chelsea & jimmy: please don’t speak to me about them (actually pls do)

[macaroni-rascal]

I’d like to share my predictions for the reunion show. In no particular order:

AD tried again with that POS after he begged and said he would go to therapy. This, of course, is all so he might fool some viewers that he’s not a pile of dog shit and save his pathetic ass. Anyone over the age of 25 will not be fooled. Meanwhile, his DMs crashed with sad women ready to settle for that shit and he couldn’t resist so it all fell apart again anyway (or will soon).

Jimmy hooked up with whatshername (the one with the kid that actually does resemble Megan Fox) since that’s all he cared about anyway. You don’t come on LIB and ask someone what they look like if you’re serious [see corresponding ref.: Clay talking trash in the pod about looks].

Amy and Johnny haven’t yet figured out that he’s a basic white boy and way too saltine for her. Or she’s pregnant. Or both.

That nasty ass robot bro who was totally fake and left after three episodes refuses to show up for the reunion.

I’m sure there’s more. Curious if you have any takes in advance of (what better be) the train wreck shitshow I’m hoping for.

My biggest wish is that AD never even entertained the idea of staying with Clay, but I am also worried about them continuing to try. I've said it once and I'll say it again: Clay is a little bitch. AD deserves about a million times better.

I'm honestly not sure about Jimmy, he's probably been busy getting chin implants.

I truly wonder if Amy and Johnny have fucked yet, I shudder to think the tone deaf and creepy uncle way the Lachays are going to inquire about their sex life. I hate it already.

No way Matt (aka nasty ass robot bro) makes an appearance, American is watching.

I want Laura to show up and just tear Jeramey a new one, that's gonna be fun. That's mostly what I want.

White-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) standing in tall grass, US. In New York state, wildlife managers, tasked with curbing the spread of a fatal brain disease among deer, have proposed a ban on deer urine used by hunters to lure their prey. But manufacturers of bottled deer urine say there is not enough evidence to deny hunters a product they have been using for decades.

Mississippi governor signs bill to retire flag with Confederate emblem

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/mississippi-governor-signs-bill-to-retire-flag-with-confederate-emblem/

Mississippi governor signs bill to retire flag with Confederate emblem

“This is not a political moment to me, but a solemn occasion to lead our Mississippi family to come together to be reconciled and to move on,” Reeves, a Republican, said before he signed the legislation.

The signing caps a swift referendum on the flag from the Mississippi state Legislature, which passed the bill on Sunday following weeks of racial justice protests across the country. The flag, first adopted in 1894, has red, white and blue stripes with the Confederate battle emblem in one corner.

A commission will now develop a new flag design without the Confederate emblem that includes the phrase “In God, We Trust.” Mississippi voters will vote on the new design in November.

“I know there are people of goodwill who are not happy to see this flag changed. They fear a chain reaction of events erasing our history — a history that is no doubt complicated and imperfect,” Reeves said Tuesday.

“I understand those concerns and am determined to protect Mississippi from that dangerous outcome.”

The flag of the Confederacy, its symbols and the statues commemorating Confederate leaders have long divided the country. Critics call the flag a symbol that represents the war to uphold slavery, while supporters call it a sign of Southern pride and heritage.

The symbols have increasingly become a rallying call for white supremacists.

In recent weeks, the police killing of George Floyd has spurred the removal — by protesters in some cases and city leaders in others — of contentious statues and Confederate symbols that have upset some residents for decades, if not longer.

Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died on May 25 in Minneapolis. While being arrested, Floyd was held down by a White Minneapolis police officer’s knee for more than eight minutes. His death in police custody, which was captured on video, has prompted widespread conversations about systemic racism.

“I reject the mobs tearing down statues of our history — North and South, Union and Confederate, Founding Fathers and veterans. I reject the chaos and lawlessness and I am proud it has not happened in our state,” Reeves said.

“I also understand the need to commit the 1894 flag to history and find a banner that is a better emblem for all Mississippi.”

The signing was praised by a bipartisan collection of lawmakers Tuesday.

Republican Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker tweeted, “This is a historic & long-awaited day for Mississippi.”

“I appreciate our state legislators for having the courage and conviction to make this necessary change to our state flag,” he said. “As I have maintained since 2015, Mississippians deserve a banner that unites us rather than divides us.”

That message was echoed by State Rep. Jeramey Anderson, a Democrat from Moss Point, who applauded the legislation but cautioned, “We’re not done.”

“The work continues to end voter suppression, as well as health care and education disparities in black & brown communities,” he said. “This is step one!”

The American Civil Liberties Union also celebrated the move as foreshadowing “a new day for Mississippi” in a statement to Appradab.

“It signifies to everyone to come work, play, and live in Mississippi, the Hospitality state.”

Still, Confederate Memorial Day and Robert E. Lee’s birthday remain official state holidays in Mississippi and continue to prompt a larger debate about how to recognize the state’s history.

Reeves acknowledged that debate Tuesday, declaring “there are people on either side of the flag debate who may never understand the other” but the state “must show empathy.”

“We must understand that all who want change are not attempting to erase history and all who want the status quo are not mean spirited or hateful.”

This story has been updated with additional information Tuesday.

Week 6 - Architecture

1. Lubar Entrepreneurship Center

The new Lubar Entrepreneurship Center on campus and reminds me of Bauhaus style architecture. Utilizing lots of windows with cross sections and a block style. The awning is also very similar to the awnings seen on the Bauhaus school building we see in our lecture and readings. I did some research and it was designed by a group of architects at Contiuum Architects + Planners. 

2. Merrill Hall

Merrill hall on campus is one of the older buildings on campus. It has red brick and a Neo-Gothic style architecture which I really enjoy.You can tell by the use of pointed arches over the windows, front facing gables, steep pitched roof, decorative crowns over windows and doors, and castle like towers. 

3. Milwaukee Intermodal Train Station

The Milwaukee Intermodal train station has a very modern style architecture. The entrance is entirely glass, with large white beams behind the glass windows crossing in different directions to create a geometric pattern. The use of glass allows for a lot of natural light to permeate inside the building making it feel larger and more welcoming inside. 

4. Milwaukee Art Museum

The Milwaukee Art museum is arguably one of the most beautiful examples of Milwaukee architecture. The most iconic part of the museum, the Quadracci Pavilion was designed by Santiago Calatrava. It has a huge vaulted ceiling and movable sunscreen. The vaulted ceiling is made of glass and metal and allows for light to enter the museum naturally. It overlooks lake Michigan and offers really stunning views of the lake and is one of my favorite places to visit in Milwaukee. 

5. Northwestern Mutual 

The new Northwestern Mutual building is a really cool example of architecture as well. At my internship, we have done projects for Northwestern Mutual and I was fortunate enough to be able to go there and shadow for a day. It is as stunning inside as it is outside. It is an amazing skyscraper that is 550′ height, making it the second tallest building in Milwaukee, next to the U.S. Bank Center. The old Northwestern Mutual building was a neo-classical style building, and inside the new NM building, they actually have an area where they I think built around the old building, so now the entrance to the old NM building is inside the new building and you can see the neo-classical architecture. Its really cool. They tried to preserve the neo-classical features throughout the building as well and it is also in their logo so its a big part of their branding. I think the old entrance inside the new building goes to the administrative offices if I remember correctly.

Mississippi Lawmakers Vote to Remove Confederate Symbol From State Flag

Mississippi lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to remove a Confederate emblem from their state flag on Sunday, marking one of the most dramatic repudiations yet of white-supremacist imagery during a wave of protests against racism and police brutality in America.The bill passed 128 to 37 and is now awaiting signature by Gov. Tate Reeves. It requires the current state flag to be removed within 15 days of passage. A commission selected by the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the House will design a flag including the phrase “In God We Trust” to be completed by September 14. Mississippi voters will decide on the new flag during the November general election. If the new flag is not ratified by voters in November, a new design will be created and voted on the following year. "Today’s vote is not a vote to erase Mississippi’s history or its heritage," Sen. John Horhn said. "But it’s an affirmation of Mississippi’s future, and that we intend to move forward together."On Saturday, lawmakers in both houses cleared an initial measure paving the way for a bill to change the flag, and Republican Gov. Tate Reeves tweeted that he would sign a bill to that effect.The initial measure lifted restrictions in place that prohibited the state government from changing or removing the state flag, which is the last in the United States to include an explicit homage to pro-slavery rebels.“The argument over the 1894 flag has become as divisive as the flag itself and it’s time to end it,” Reeves tweeted.The governor went on to say that changing the flag was not enough to fight the systemic racism the Confederate symbol represents. “We should not be under any illusion that a vote in the Capitol is the end of what must be done,” he wrote. “It will be harder than recovering from tornadoes, harder than historic floods, harder than agency corruption, or prison riots or the coming hurricane season—even harder than battling the Coronavirus.”State Representative Jeramey Anderson (D-Miss), the youngest-ever Black legislator elected in Mississippi at 28, applauded the decision to pave the way for change on Saturday. “This is a unique opportunity, one we should not squander,” he said. Confederate leader Jefferson Davis’s great-great grandson Bertram Hayes-Davis backed the change, telling CNN that “the battle flag has been hijacked” and that it “does not represent the entire population of Mississippi.”Rising college basketball player Blake Hinson said the Confederate symbol played a role in his decision to transfer from the University of Mississippi to Iowa State earlier this month. “It was time to go and leave Ole Miss,” he told the Daytona Beach News Journal. “I’m proud not to represent that flag anymore and to not be associated with anything representing the Confederacy.”Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-Miss) opposed the change and called for a state referendum on the issue, warning that changing the American flag was next. “I don’t see how that makes me a racist.” he said. “I don’t see how that makes me a terrible human being.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

He failed to mention Latinos: El Paso residents outraged by Trumps speech

EL PASO, Texas — President Donald Trump condemned white supremacy from the White House Monday, but left Hispanics and Latinos out of his speech.

It’s a significant omission and a stark difference from the written document that has been linked to the 21-year-old gunman who allegedly opened fire on weekend shoppers Saturday at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. The shooter’s alleged document mentions a Hispanic invasion, the increasing Hispanic population and a decision by its writer to target Hispanics after reading a right wing conspiracy theory asserting Europe’s white population is being replaced with non-Europeans.

The death toll in the El Paso attack, which is being investigated as domestic terrorism, rose to 22 on Monday.

“We’ve got dead bodies. The majority are Hispanic. Some are foreign nationals from Mexico and we got a manifesto describing what he intends to do and why,” said State Rep. Cesar Blanco, a Democrat who represents El Paso.

“I think it’s telling; he failed to mention Latinos,” Blanco said of the president. “He failed to mention that our community is majority Latino, but it doesn’t surprise me.”

The Mexican government confirmed that eight of the victims identified so far were Mexican citizens, not unexpected considering the city of El Paso and surrounding communities of El Paso County, Texas are about 83 percent Latino.

Add to that the number of shoppers and workers from Mexico who legally cross the international border each day to shop, dine, work and visit family. The Walmart is part of a complex of retail outlets, with a Sam’s Club and the Cielo Vista mall next door. There is also a theater close by along with many restaurants and hotels.

Trump did say in the speech that he had sent his condolences to Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, because eight citizens from Mexico were among the dead. But he didn’t make specific mention of El Paso’s residents of Latino descent, who comprise the majority of the community.

Jeramey Maynard, 26, El Paso.Suzanne Gamboa / NBC News

Jeramey Maynard, 26, a local artist and restaurant manager, said Trump’s response has been largely political, exemplified by the president’s call to combine gun regulation reforms with immigration reform.

“He’s choosing his words without saying Hispanic or immigrant and making it about other things,” Maynard said. “He’s been having these racist comments. When it comes time to defend the community, of course we are not going to hear him say anything about the Hispanic community.”

Maynard added that he thought Trump “would paint it with the broadest brush he can. Why would he say something he thinks supports the Democratic Party?”

“Target on our back”

Trump launched his 2016 election campaign with disparaging words, seen by many as racist, about people in the United States who have come from Mexico.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems,” Trump said to a largely white crowd at Trump Tower in New York. “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people …”

Some defended the president saying he was referring only to immigrants who commit crimes and not speaking of Latinos in the United States as a whole.

But then Trump went on to question the ability of a U.S. district court judge to be impartial because he is of Mexican descent.

Trump’s political rallies have often been filled with chants of “Build the Wall” in reference to his pledge to build a wall across the entire border and make Mexico pay for it.

He responded to the influx of Central Americans seeking asylum by separating children from their parents and allowing border officials to hold them in chain-link pens.

In the past several days, many Latinos have been vocal about what they see as a through line between the president’s rhetoric and the shooting in El Paso.

Rep. Veronica Escobar, a Democrat whose district includes El Paso, said she had hoped Trump would have apologized for his rhetoric, which she said put a target on the city’s back.

“I would encourage him to do that,” she said.

The city has seen stark evidence of fear that exists among families because of the Trump hardline on immigration, according to several residents.

Marisa Limón Garcia, deputy director of the Hope Border Institute, said the organization fielded calls from families who were directly affected by the shootings and families who were looking for loved ones.

They were afraid to go to the hospital or to interact with police and border enforcement, who responded to the shooting.

“If you are undocumented or of a mixed status household, the last place you want to go is where there is a tremendous amount of police presence,” Limón Garcia said. Immigrants often are part of families that may include a mix of citizens, legal residents and people without legal status.

Her organization has been working with families to help them get the help they need, but she said it is a daily occurrence for people without legal permission to be in the country to be afraid to go to the hospital.

“This is just another layer of psychological trauma that this community has to face when we have already been ground zero for so many other challenges,” she said.

“The illness is racism and xenophobia”

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus pushed Trump to commit to no longer using “invasion“ to describe Hispanic communities, immigrants or refugees to the country.

The caucus also asked the Trump administration to “acknowledge the threat of white supremacy and domestic terrorism” and to “combat this state of emergency head-on” with federal resources.

Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-Texas, twin brother of presidential candidate Julián Castro, said in a statement that the caucus is grateful Trump addressed the El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, tragedies.

But he said, “this does not make up for the years of attacks by President Trump on Hispanic Americans and our immigrant communities.”

“During the president’s address, he blamed the Internet, news media , mental health and video games, among others … Unfortunately, he did not take responsibility for the xenophobic rhetoric that he has frequently used to demonize and dehumanize Hispanic Americans and immigrants over the past four years.”

But Limón Garcia said the tragedy has not been confined to immigrants.

“Here in El Paso we are a community that is over 80 percent Latino and that means people that are immigrant themselves and then people who have been here for generations,” she said. “It’s clear it was not just a random attack. It’s clear that this cannot be called someone with a mental illness. This illness is racism and xenophobia.”

Mississippi state legislature passes bill to remove confederate symbol from state flag in historic vote

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/mississippi-state-legislature-passes-bill-to-remove-confederate-symbol-from-state-flag-in-historic-vote/

Mississippi state legislature passes bill to remove confederate symbol from state flag in historic vote

The bill will now go to Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, who has said he would sign it into law.

The legislation — which cleared the state House in a 91-23 vote and the state Senate with a 37-14 vote — comes as Mississippi lawmakers have been weighing a change to their flag for weeks amid ongoing racial justice protests across the country. The flag, first adopted in 1894, has red, white and blue stripes with the Confederate battle emblem in the corner.

The bill establishes a commission to develop a new flag design without the Confederate emblem that includes the phrase “In God, We Trust.” Mississippi state voters would then vote on the new design this November.

State Rep. Jeramey Anderson, a Democrat from Moss Point, applauded its passage Sunday as a “historic moment.”

“I thank those who came before us, who with courage and resolve nurtured the Civil Rights Movement that helped bring us to this day,” he tweeted. “What a beautiful moment of unity.”

That message was echoed by Democratic state Rep. Zakiya Summers, who tweeted, “I just through the deuces to the state flag that’s at the entrance of the house chamber!”

And NAACP president Derrick Johnson told Appradab’s Wolf Blitzer Sunday evening, ���This is a long time coming.”

“Finally, Mississippi decided to be one of the 50 states, and not the one state standing alone still bearing the emblem of a segregated society,” he said.

Sunday’s vote came after the Mississippi House and Senate passed a resolution on Saturday to begin the process of changing the flag.

Following those votes, Jefferson Davis’ great-great-grandson, Bertram Hayes-Davis, agreed with the potential change of the Mississippi flag, saying that the “battle flag has been hijacked” and “does not represent the entire population of Mississippi.”

“It is historic and heritage-related, there are a lot of people who look at it that way, and God bless them for that heritage. So put it in a museum and honor it there or put it in your house, but the flag of Mississippi should represent the entire population, and I am thrilled that we’re finally going to make that change,” Hayes-Davis told Appradab’s Ana Cabrera on “Newsroom” Saturday.

The flag of the Confederacy, its symbols and the statues commemorating Confederate leaders have long divided the country. Critics call the flag a symbol that represents the war to uphold slavery, while supporters call it a sign of Southern pride and heritage.

The symbols have increasingly become a rallying call for white supremacists.

In recent weeks, the death of George Floyd has led to the removal — by protesters in some cases and city leaders in others — of contentious statues and Confederate symbols that have upset some residents for decades, if not longer.

Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, died on May 25 in Minneapolis. While being arrested, Floyd was held down by a Minneapolis police officer’s knee for more than eight minutes.

He was pronounced dead shortly afterward. His death, which was captured on video, has sparked widespread protests across the US, with people calling for an end to police brutality against people of color.

This story has been updated with additional reaction from Mississippi legislators and the president of the NAACP.
