A RACIALLY OFFENSIVE TEAM LOGO OF OUR OWN
Ostensibly mocking the recent well-orchestrated and well-oiled push to force the Washington Redskins football team to repent and renounce a name they”ve been using without incident for 82 years, a San Francisco T-shirt company called Headline Shirts accomplished a clever détournement of the team’s iconic logo by issuing shirts featuring a stereotypical “redneck” with a piece of straw in his mouth and a mullet haircut. According to Jake Ginsky of Headline Shirts:
You can basically keep the same logo. Just change a few letters, trade the feathers for raccoon tails, swap out the red-skinned caricature with a rustic Caucasian, and bam! Done…. After all, why should Native Americans have a monopoly on all the culturally insensitive team names? What about the white folks? When is it finally going to be their turn?
WHITES NO LONGER A MAJORITY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
According to a report released by the National Center for Education Statistics, this fall’s crop of public school students will be less than 50% white for the first time in the nation’s history. “We like our diversity,” said Pennsylvania school superintendent Barry Tomasetti to the Associated Press, adding that parents are realizing “it’s not a homogenous world out there” anymore. The AP noted that despite all this glorious diversity, “schools are becoming more racially divided.” Imagine that.
LAUREN BACALL: 1924-2014
Legendary film actress Lauren Bacall has died of a stroke at age 89. Born Betty Joan Perske to Jewish parents in the Bronx, Bacall went from being a teenage glamour model to one of Hollywood’s most enduring female sex symbols, first gaining fame in a series of films starring alongside Humphrey Bogart. In 2005, Bacall told interviewer Larry King that she was “anti-Republican…A liberal. The L-word….being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you’re a liberal. You do not have a small mind.” In its Bacall obituary, the Guardian needlessly injected Cultural Marxism, noting that Bacall rose to fame at a time when Hollywood was “aggressively white and morally repressive” and generating harmful “propaganda about gender.”
