THE THREE-YEAR-OLD HATEMONGERS OF MERRIE OLDE ENGLAND
Back in 2002, certain British grade schools”and even nursery schools”started keeping so-called “hate registers“ of students accused of making politically incorrect statements to other students.
The practice continues apace in certain English schools. A recent report titled Monitoring Playgrounds: The persistence of “prejudice-related” incident reporting in schools says that at one point, nearly 30,000 such reports were being filed yearly in England and Wales. And over the years, infractions have expanded to include far more than allegedly “racist” comments:
This revealed that the local authority has provided schools with a template “Bullying and Prejudice-Based incident report form”, which includes a classification of the incident into: “ethnicity/race”, “appearance” (hair colour, body shape, clothing), “disability/special needs” (including “derogatory language” such as “retard, spaz, geek, nerd”); “gender identity” including “someone who does not fit with gender norms or stereotypes”; “home circumstances” such as “class background” (calling another child “chav, posh”); or “sex” and “sexual orientation”.
In effect, British children are forbidden from insulting one another, a practice that seems to have been the wont among children in all places throughout history.
The report cites instances where a boy was cited for telling another boy he had “funny fingers”; a student was reprimanded for referring to another student as “doughnut,” a “fat bucket of KFC,” and “fat custard cream”; and, most appallingly, a student of only three or four years of age was referred to a counselor for saying “yuk”not black” when presented with images of black human faces.
Let’s all close our eyes and pretend there’s nothing Orwellian about any of this.
THE NORTH CAROLINA TARD HEELS
The University of North Carolina finds itself embroiled in an academic scandal involving “sham courses…solely in the African studies department“ that were apparently designed to boost the GPAs of underperforming students, specifically student athletes. A number of professors have already either been dismissed or have resigned as the scandal unfolds.
A report issued in October, Investigation of Irregular Classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, cites several “academically unsound classes” with “watered-down academic requirements,” many of which “entailed no class attendance and required only the submission of a single research paper.” Such “paper classes” included one called “Black Nationalism” and another called “Swahili 3″ that purported to be a language class but required absolutely no knowledge of the Swahili language. The report states that although a large quotient of research papers were significantly plagiarized, students who enrolled in these sham classes were rewarded with high grades that bore no relation to their term papers” relative merit.
According to the Associated Press, this alleged practice “allowed 3,100 athletes and other students to earn artificially high grades from 1993 to 2011.”
REVLON C.E.O. ALLEGEDLY CLAIMS MAGICAL ABILITY TO SMELL BLACK PEOPLE IN A ROOM
Alan Meyers, a former scientist at cosmetics giant Revlon, filed a discrimination lawsuit last week claiming that company CEO Lorenzo Delpani spewed an array of bigoted comments which left Meyers so stressed that he was hospitalized for chest pains.
Among Delpani’s alleged verbal sins was the claim that he possessed the ability to smell black people upon entering a room; that Americans are “dirty”; and the shocking, unforgivable claim that “Jews stick together.”
Clearly, this is unacceptable, problematic, and triggering. In fact, we feel some chest pains coming on and expect robust financial remuneration for our tremendous discomfort as a result of being exposed to such toxic notions.
ANOTHER ONE OF FERGUSON’s ANGELS FALLS TO THE GROUND ON WINGS MADE OF WAX
Joshua Williams, an apparently homeless and unemployed black 19-year-old, made a name for himself during the interminable Ferguson “protests” as a voice of nonviolence and cooperation against a brutal white police state which sought to beat and maim and murder him at every turn. He appeared at rallies nationwide and marched alongside Cornel West during one juicy photo op this past fall. MSBNC quoted Williams depicting himself as a virtual Chocolate Gandhi: “I learned that we have to stand up and that you can”t get nowhere with violence but you can always move people without it.”
What was far less reported is the fact that he taunted St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson at a public meeting by shouting “Can someone please get this lying motherfucking ho off the mic?,” allegedly causing the meeting to descend into chaos. He also burned an American flag on camera. He also taunted police during one of the “protests” with a decidedly non-nonviolent “Come on, I”m ready! Your time starts now. You have five minutes to arrest me, or we”re going to bang it out in the streets.”
On Friday Williams was arrested after surveillance footage allegedly showed him using lighter fluid to set fire to a QuikTrip store in nearby Berkeley, MO, on Christmas Eve. According to police, he has already confessed to the act. He is being charged with first-degree arson, second-degree burglary, and misdemeanor theft.
