We’re soon entering the moment when the Washington part of the NFL team’s name will be considered more offensive than the Redskins half.

Email me at SteveSlr *at* aol*dot*com (make the obvious substitutions between the asterisks; you don’t have to capitalize an email address, I just included the capitals to make clear the logic — it’s my name without a space and without the vowels in “Sailer” that give so many people, especially irate commenters, trouble.)

I always appreciate my readers’ help, especially monetary. Here’s how you can help:

Fourth: You can use Bitcoin:
I’m using Coinbase as a sort of PayPal for Bitcoins.
The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.
Payments are not tax deductible.
Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.
Pay With Bitcoin (denominated in U.S. Dollars)
This second is if you want to enter a Bitcoin-denominated amount. (Remember one Bitcoin is currently worth many U.S. dollars.)

Fifth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.
Sixth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Seventh: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address(that’s isteveslrATgmail .com — replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don’t need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone
app (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service. Here’s how to do it.

Former Labour MP says Coco Pops are racist.

Okay, that’s brilliant.
When the Redskins start the season 6-0, all that talk traditionally has stopped. Winning cures all.
From the Associated Press:
Supreme Court rejects several gun rights cases for next term
As things get kicked up another notch—from cold to lukewarm civil war—at least the gun-rights crowd can say with a clear conscience that they did everything they could by peaceful, legal means to seek redress and compel local tyrants to obey the Constitution.
But as the rule of law rapidly falls, as statues go by the wayside, so goes the obeying of statutes, by all sides.
Ukraine deputy: Deport African BLM protesters
https://www.joshwho.net/five-african-students-hold-black-lives-matter-protest-in-ukrainian-city-city-council-minister-asks-for-their-names-so-he-can-deport-them/
We need to get ol’ George and the other slave-owning white dudes off our currency, stat. Their statues are already coming down. Soon all traces of their existence will be eradicated.
The state north of Oregon will need to be renamed, obviously. Does “Upper Liberia” work for you? And the capital city will require a new moniker, as well. “New Wakanda” fits the bill, methinks.
As for the Washington Monument, we needn’t tear it down. Just paint it black (with a rainbow trim) and rename it the Obama Obelisk.
If only we had hyperinflation … who would object to seeing George Floyd’s portrait on the $1,000,000,000 bill?
Hey Sailer three of my posts June 16 between 8:07 and 8:20 showed up under Aristippus’ name , What’s up with that ?
My impression is a few Jewish thought leaders are feeling anxious about where BLM may take us.
I suspect a lot of Jews – maybe especially Jewish males – don’t really like having to grovel before Blacks. And maybe it’s just having to recognize another groups’s strong identity. Someone said, most Jews are hostile to anybody having a group strong identity (except themselves).
They supported Blacks when they were weak and could be used as a cudgel to attack Whites. But their natural instinct is to subvert anyone else’s identity (Black, Asian, Whites, Southerners, Russians, etc).
I don’t know.
Sorry.
Statues, names, movies, this kind of thing they actually can do. So they’ll do it.
Getting rid of police is a new wrinkle to 2020 I didn’t expect, since I almost felt like I would get arrested if I went outside without a mask and ran into the hymen inspectors.
Anyway, good luck “unarmed professionals”:

Potentially, the destruction of the Founders could be useful. Without “All Men are created equal”, we could treat criminals and the less competent the way they need to for society to function.
Been predicting since 2008 that I would live to see Washington DC renamed “Martin Luther King City” , now I think the timetable on this has been sped way up.
That girl with her back to the camera is probably getting all worked up. She’s seen lots of euro-american television.
May just mean they accidentally used the same [fake] email address.
lol isnt ‘beltway bandits’ more appropriately an appellation applied to congress and the rest of the DC swamp?
on an unrelated note, my favorite DC oxymoron is ‘intelligence community’
So, what are we going to call Washington State? They originally wanted to call it Columbia, but I guess that is right out.
Then there are all those mountains and towns, many of which were named after British
explorersoppressors, like Mt. Rainier and Mt. Hood. Then there’s that pesky Columbia River. I guess we could use the names given by the Indigenes ante-Britain, but wouldn’t that be cultural appropriation?As for DC, I think Trump seized upon something when he tossed out the expression ‘Sh!thole’, which we can abbreviate as SH, though the more timid among us might settle for calling it The Capital (TC), as in The Hunger Games … I realise that place was run by an old white man, but he sure got his comeuppance from Jennifer Lawrence and a bunch of other woke folks.
Isn’t it great!
Plausible deniability.
“The House That Ruth Built”?
Boston Celtics to Boston Tsarnaevs?
“Detroit Red Wings” sounds too much like “Red States” – change to Detroit Dindu Nuffins
Washington Redskins to D.C. Deep State Stalinists or Beltway Baader Meinhofs or Beltway Bader Ginsburgs (aka The Ruths)
“Pittsburgh Panthers” might remind some of Nazi Panther tanks – so rename them the “Pittsburgh Pol Pots”
“New York Jets” could evoke images of the white “Jets” gang from “West Side Story” – or the ME 262 – let’s go with the “Crown Heights Rioters [or Sharptons].”
And last, but not beast: “Knoxville Ice Bears” promotes the false narrative or subarctic trope that whites and Asians have been “victims” of the “Knockout Game” or “Polar Bear Hunting.”
The “Knoxville Horrors” would be fittingly honorific.

About the Coco Puffs mascot. They should have stayed with the cuckoo for Coco Puffs bird.
Kellogg’s should have known better.
A rule I learned long ago:
Don’t ever mention monkeys. Those people will always think you mean them. And that goes double for mentioning gorillas.
Native Americans don’t really want to have the “offensive” sports teams names changed because the truth is that these days that’s about the only thing keeping them alive in the public consciousness. Cowboy and Indian movies are so 1950s, and we haven’t really even had a good “Dances With Wolves”-type movie since, well, “Dances With Wolves.” That came out round about 30 years ago. I guess there was Disney’s “Pocohontas,” but that movie was shit and everyone knows it.
Other than bitching about Columbus stealing their land – but never doing anything at all to give it back – the Left doesn’t really give a shit about them because they aren’t a rapidly growing demographic whose votes will do much to help them win elections. The Left is more interested in bringing in people who will steal land from the current owners than in returning land to the natives, and they only hate Columbus because he was a white dude.
But yeah, stripping the names of slave owners off of cities and states is the next big move, and at this rate it will probably happen in the next decade, and don’t expect your average Mitt Romney or George Will type to say a damn thing in opposition to it. If people don’t realize by now how ugly our “diverse” future is going to be there probably isn’t much helping them. They are well and truly brainwashed.
Does anyone ever question what were they doing there in the first place?
If they are in Ukraine, why aren’t their signs written in Ukrainian or Russian?
How about Swamp Skunks? The cheerleaders can dress up like the plant. However they’ll have to change their colors to green and sludge. Pity since the dark red matches Swampville’s warmonger mindset. However in the perfect woke world shouldn’t football be banned due to being invented by whites? As should basketball and soccer.
The Ukraine either will make its peace with Russia and begun resisting the Anglo-Zionist Empire with everything it has, or the Anglo-Zionist Empire will fill the Ukraine with blacks and Moslems who are allied with Queers and financed primarily by Jews, and the end result will be the utter perversion of any surviving Ukrainian culture.
Poland faces the same choices.
That is one red-pilled lady.
But maybe she should have been saying something twenty three crimes ago.
Won’t happen until Dan Snyder is offered as a sacrifice to the spirits of the haunted burial ground that FedEx Field must be built on top of. Only then will they be appeased.
Aside from numerical inferiority, their culture(s) tends to be on the introverted, “a real man doesn’t talk much” side-the polar opposite of hyper-extroverted black culture-and they also tend to be clustered in rural areas, often in red states, and far away from the Paper Belt. They are thus not in a position to make the same impact on the consciousness of the bien-pensants. It doesn’t help that the actual martial history and tradition of many of the native peoples of the US (look at their rates of military service) tends to diverge drastically from the 1970s-onward progressive conceptions about them being proto-hippies.
Weirdly enough, Richard Nixon is a popular President to this day among many tribes despite the Wounded Knee incident, because he was the one who ended the widely hated forced assimilation system. I recall they even named a town after him.
I’ve been writing Washington, FS for years, at least since I started my blog. Now, people ought to get what the FS is for. The mail still gets there, with the right zip code.

You people delude yourselves that we got to this end-of-history moment because women and minorities kept voting away the Constitution until all that was left of the original US was its offensive place names and monuments to human rights violators. The truth is that white men weaponized minority rights while vying for power against other white men. In this regard, Bush and Romney have shown themselves to be typical by siding with BLM.

Ghost, San Framcisco’s experiment with “trained professionals” will end terribly when some petite social worker intervenes in a domestic dispute and ends up on life support after a beat down. My friend’s daughter works for CPS in Baltmore and she carries a service revolver and often has police back up. Mother bear and her cubs sort of thing.
Rumor has it that the large East/West arterial road here in L.A., Washington Boulevard, will be renamed George Floyd Parkway. The street runs parallel to MLK Blvd, formerly the very racially offensively named “Santa Barbara Avenue.”
al, you are so yesterday my friend. According to Roxanne Gay, all 450 pounds of her, RACISM causes obesity in black women. And, hmmm, Oprah shills for Weigh Watchers and she is obsese and way far from poor.
The ruling added a another “protected” group of potential employees who can bring a law suit against their employer for discrimination. The safe route for employers might be to just hire from the only non-protected group left, white heterosexual Christian males.
I’ve never owned a gun and I’ve never particularly liked them. Now I’m researching which one I want for when it’s time to join the fight.
Unfortunately we have a “conservative” party that refuses to wholeheartedly support police, or to find a way to defend freedom of speech while people lose jobs left and right for not pledging 100 percent fealty to BLM. So we need to defend ourselves.

Oddly, Washington DC will be a majority white city within the next 10 years. The new ‘hot’ real estate in DC is Anacostia. For those in the know, its been a long time since Anacostia was a desirable location to live in.

It seems to me that the LGBTs have had standing to sue for discrimination for quite some time now, SCOTUS ruling or not. Did anything substantially change?
The Republicans have a spotty batting average when it comes to appointing strong conservatives, but the Democrats bat 1000 when it comes to appointing radical leftists. So we’re still better off with the Republicans.

Stonetoss had a perfect prediction of this where Trump and a supporter look at a burning American flag falling to the ground in a broken ghetto, and muse, maybe the real victory was the black unemployment numbers.
We recently had some kind of attack or technical issue (the thread is full of deliberate double posts, “testing” posts, and people talking about it), and during that a reply of mine showed up as “MEexpert” (which must bother him), and allowed me to see his email.
Can John Roberts possibly be more worthless?
He’s owned. I don’t know what the hold is, but he’s owned. Look at his eyes in the pics taken around the time of the Obamacare ruling. The images are still all out there.
Yep the anti-feminism trafficked here is very much of the way can’t I fuck hot chicks variety. In addition to their catalogue of flaws the fact that boomers combined low testertone fecklessness with insatiable frustrated horniness is frankly hilarious.

Kavanah (spelling?) And the others like Alito are pretty OK, John Roberts has always been a centrist for as long he has been there, so this is somewhat expected. And the Judiciary is the weakest branch anyway, unless they can actually find somebody to uphold and enforce compliance with their rulings.
Just a thought, if the protestors and the BLMers don’t call out Joe Biden’s past then you best throw Cancel Culture and #ME TOO in the dumpster. This is all about fairness, right?
What are the Indians whining about, at least they still have their own autonomous homelands that they can control with respect to who they let im, do white people have their own homeland, even under an Ottoman millet system?

If you’re addressing complaints, why do some commenters’ posts get through right away, while others’ comments (like mine) have to wait for hours, and sometimes never get through at all—as though some commenters were “Teacher’s pets” and others (like me) were second-class citizens. Is this fair?
Remember, in order to use Jury Nullification you have to get on a jury. A relative was called for possible jury duty, but unfortunately, was not called for a gun case. Blacks use JN all the time; so can 2A supporters.

One advantage to selling books is that it is the commodity least interesting to the looting fraction.

Possibly then. Probably not.

They can’t use that name or at least they better ask permission from Tampa Bay. Remember the old Tampa Bay Bandits from the long ago defunct USFL. I always liked the name Baltimore Bullets who later became the Washington/Capitol Bullets who later became the ridiculous Washington Wizards. Bring back the NBA to Baltimore and call them the Baltimore Bullets again. Maybe the NBA can curb all that violence in the Washington/Baltimore area by having an interstate rivalry with the favorite “urban” sport of “youths” everywhere, the game of basketball. Maybe they can use the old baseball team’s name of the Washington Senators. The Washington Monuments? Oh, wait a minute, Frank Howard aka “The Capitol Punisher” aka “The Washington Monument” might have dibs on that one, plus the word “Washington Monument” might be considered “racist.”

So you can have your statue removed because of the actions of your father, like what happened to William Gladstone in England, but having an honorary non white son-in-law like Alexander Hamilton doesn’t spare you in the case of Philip Schuyler. It would be a lot easier to keep track of if they just said, “we hate them because they are white men.”
You might consider other courses of action. If you haven’t owned any guns before now and don’t particularly like them, it’s probably not your calling and you may end up doing more harm than good. I hope you can receive my suggestion in the good spirit that it’s intended. I love guns, but I think owning one should involve a bit of self-examination as to what you’re capable of.

This kind of thing has been tried many times in many cities and abandoned for pretty much the same reasons. Often the social workers themselves drop out of the program after finding out just what is involved. The oldest program of this type that I know of was actually tried in Chicago in the late 1970s. The most recent was in Portland, OR just a couple of years ago.
This one of those liberal/progressive fixations that is impervious to experience. Again and again they try stuff that has not worked in the past.
Change the name to the Washington Rednecks. America’s Team.
Completely predictable. It’s not ‘if’ but ‘when’ for these social workers showing up at heated domestic incidents, unfortunately.
You need not even do that. In the alphabet soup that is LGBT+, the A stands for asexual. Asexual covers damn near all men in their fifties who have been married 20-30 years and who sired children while in heat. Methinks a lack of equality is about to appear under the LGBT+ umbrella thanks to this latest stroke of SCOTUS genius.
I’ve long thought that Washington ought to change their name. I have no problem with Indians, Braves, etc, but Redskins has an insulting tone to my ear.
If natives don’t mind it, then who am I to tell them that they should. But that is my opinion.
He’s one of the many jock sniffers who won’t say the words “Washington Redskins” because he is sure they are offensive to some Tonto somewhere. Surveys have shown that real Indians (feather not dot) don’t give a damn about teams with Indian names.
ESPN’s rating are the lowest they have been in 41 years. Half the programming is millionaire blacks complaining about racism, and the other half is white rump swabs (h/t the Zman) like Easterbrook kissing their butts. It is unwatchable.

Hold your horses there bud before you get carried away. You seem to be drastically misinterpreting the situation. As far as you and your kind is concerned, the rule of law is not going away one bit. If anything, now that the police state is giving the favored classes free license to run riot, there are more resources than ever that have just been freed up to focus on second class serfs such as yourself. For every extra bit of anarchy the other side gets to enjoy, there is a corresponding bit of tyranny placed on your side to ensure you cannot interfere with the other side’s enjoyment of said anarchy. Who whom buddy.
OneSixNine, most people have cell phones and no land line and you can’t hang around in a mall and poll people so where do these numbers come from. I my life, 74 years, I have never been polled.

Did you see the video of the black cop in NYC I think KO-ing a black mama after she slapped the white officer who didn’t dare to respond? One punch and it was lights out. She probably got hurt slamming into the asphalt like a dead tree.
Question for those with a bigger brain than mine:
Can someone rationally explain how BLM is NOT essentially antithetical to the #metoo movement? The women I know who are pro #metoo and BLM haven’t convinced me.
Nah, all you gotta do is make a rap musical where Washington be a homey. Just aks Hamilton. He be cool now.
They will be destroying cemeteries soon. Because… names.
Can white men please stop watching the kNeelFL.
First for your health and self-respect.
But secondly, a white strike against just one of these corporate goon squads would be huge.

Just in case Mr. Sailer does not reply to your post with a definitive answer, there are certain qualifying criteria for instant posting that I have actually forgotten, although at one time I qualified as a teacher’s pet, and apparently remain qualified in spite of frequently disagreeing with Mr. Sailer.
I think you have to have over 50 posts, and perhaps meet some kind of standard of not needing to be edited, whether in terms of correct grammar and punctuation, as well as issues like not making ad hominem attacks on other posters, and possibly also making substantive posts that add to the discussion, not just one liners.
There may also be an issue regarding the choice of posting pseudonyms. Mr. Unz prefers plain names and not names that are designed to attract attention or be offensive. I have no idea what Desanex means to you, but it somewhat resembles Desenex, which is the brand name of a jock itch medication containing a common active ingredient called miconazole. Maybe this is accidental.
There is probably a post somewhere explaining what you have to do to qualify for immediate posting, but I’m blowed if I know where it is, but see this also:

I would change the name for politically-incorrect reasons. Whites are the only race that would name sports teams, cities, states, etc., to honor savages who scalped and otherwise mutilated, tortured, gang-raped, and slaughtered and ate the flesh of their ancestors.
They need to take down that statue. Matin Luther was a conservative WHITE clergyman after all. And WHITE = HATE. Tear it down NOW.
> What about the US Army naming their helicopters after the more martial Indian tribes? How long until the tradition is given the boot?
The reason I object to one and not the other is that Redskins sounds like a slur to me. You wouldn’t name a team the Dagoes, etc. A tribe name isn’t a slur.
If you don’t think the name is a slur, then you will naturally disagree. If you agree it’s a slur, but don’t care, then we disagree more fundamentally.
No, but I am willing to take up cannibalism if I can eat Tim Kaine.

Why don’t you link to such an image then? Seems like a pretty crazy task to set other people on.
But it’s obvious somebody has something on him. I believe he wrote the original decision against the PPACA, but then switched. Maybe in the future, the GOP should only nominate conservative women to the court. Much less likely to have records at the NSA of them downloading the wrong kind of porn.
…
By the way, the whole “what to rename the Redskins to?” is an old joke. The Washington Taxeaters, the Lobbyists, the Parasites, the Bureaucrats, the Washington Collateral Damage, etc.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with Apache or Comanche helicopters; Just as USS Houston is welcome but not USS Redneck.
This is also a symptom of a non functioning press. If this was tried a couple of years ago in Portland and failed, to the left this can’t be true. Left wing press simply doesn’t report it. And right wing press reports it in peculiar ways, namely everything they report just so happens to support their narrative. When Fox News reports that social workers are failing in Portland, to the left that is just evidence that conservatives are meanies. It can’t be true. Likewise when “NBC Nightly News with Mongo Jerry” reports that covid-19 deaths are up in all states due to relaxing of guidelines, to conservatives that just can’t be true.
I’ve been hearing that for twenty years. The name will only change when he sells the team, if then. The NFL is very serious about billion-dollar brands.
AND, the brain-dead zombies looking to hang their hats on changing the Redskins brand.
You have NO idea what’s gone on for twenty years. THAT particular brand is never changing.
The subversion instinct is directed primarily toward talented groups, groups that are capable of self-sufficiency. Jews sense that blacks are not much of a competitor to them and that blacks’ ostensible power derives almost entirely from Jewish power.

There is some movement on social media about black women resenting black men and saying they’re not worth a protest, especially after a video in which three laughing youths place a crying frightened black girl in a trash dumpster.

Thanks for trying to help. I’m sure I won’t get a reply from Sailer. My comments to Audacious Epigone and Derb sail right through, so it’s just Sailer. By the way, what Desanex means to me is that Philbert Desanex is the secret identity of Wonder Wart-Hog, a cartoon character created by Gilbert Shelton.
Why didn’t that phenomenon kick in about 20 years ago when the Crown Heights riots happened? Sure, it has kicked in, to a certain extent, at certain times past in certain places, such as Forest Hills approximately another 10 years back. But look where we are now.
I realize your comment is supposed to be ‘trenchant’, but you contradict yourself:
You described localized rule by man (aka Democrat mayors), not rule of law. The former type of rule is extremely fragile, e.g. the panicked firing of Democrat police chiefs in those jurisdictions, and the calls for resignations of said Democrat mayors by the mob.
Liberal editors and journalists are getting canceled by the dozen. Liberal Karens are getting shamed, mocked, and fired. The left ‘establishment’ is losing control in general, but they don’t understand how badly they’ve set themselves up, because they’re distracted by and beholden to their most extreme drama queens.
Like what? More money for social workers? LOL.
Eh, why would I? Given demographic trends and MSM propaganda, that anarchy was a long time coming, and is (for now) mostly afflicting Democrat-‘controlled’ cities. The more the mob pushes, the more interesting it all gets.
They do if they’re in a locality and/or state that has an LGBT rights ordinance or statute, or section of a wider civil rights statute or ordinance.
They’re a very strong branch because they have the last word.
I live in the greater DC metropolitan area and I do not now, nor have I ever, cared about the Washington NFL franchise. But it has become so much easier to care less since Dan took over. I did not think it could be easier still but Kaepernick and the owners have done the impossible!

Hoax confirmed: NYC medicos refuse to ask if people were in “peaceful protests” as part of contact tracing. Is this disease real or not? If it’s real, and if contact tracing is an important part of controlling it, then explain this behavior.

You cannot be both.

Speaking of football, is the BLM takeover going to affect the white American addiction for football? For the first time ever, white players are siding with BLM. Brady and Brees are supporting anti-police policies. Baker Mayfield says he will kneel.
And then we have the college players getting a strength coach fired at Iowa and making all sorts of demands at Texas.
The inmates are now fully in charge.

Careful. Germans spent centuries in the Ukraine writing, speaking, and worshipping as they would. There is a village in the Crimea called Zolote Pole. It was once called Zurichthal.

Re: social workers dealing with domestic violence 9/11 calls.
Great idea! I think this should be made mandatory for all government social workers and parole officers. Right out of college, get the woke-st social “science” and diversity studies majors (and would be teachers) and require them to perform this service for a couple of years.
Knock off some loan obligations in return. There needs to be more mandatory Reality Therapy going on. Okay, maybe have some uniforms out at the curb with radios on. But let the “feelings” police deal with angry, drunken, high parents and co-habitators. They can all wear body cams too. Let them show the cops how kindness and understanding and non violence really works.
And send the white women to minority homes, the minority women (and the handful of men in both cases) to white households. That will teach everyone to respect others!

Long time reader, first time emailer.
While the rest of the world is absorbing college protesters’ tactics, the college protesters themselves are taking things to a new level. If we judge by how things have progressed over the last few years, soon enough we all will be living in this world I am about to describe.
An attractive sorority girl at Duke (she dated Zion Williamson) posted a dumb video on the social media platform TikTok in 2019. In this video, she purposely got pulled over for speeding in order to flirt with the cop and see if she’d get off. To my knowledge, this video has since been deleted.
This week, some other Duke students found the video and started shaming her in a Facebook group for Duke students, Duke Memes for Gothicc Teens. (Many college meme pages use the format [University name] Memes for __ Teens.) This group, ostensibly for funny memes about life at Duke, has been completely taken over by anti-racism posts in recent days. This seems to happen periodically in all elite college meme Facebook groups periodically, if a campus or nationwide race-related incident happens.
Despite this video having no racial content whatsoever, she was shamed by the other students for having white privilege. Black students, they said, wouldn’t have taken that chance encounter with the police and therefore she’s a bad person because she could afford to do it. Or something like that.
The shaming became so intense that she received death threats. The students emailed the administration demanding she be disciplined. They implored her to write a research paper detailing her white privilege.
Presumably not wanting to get lynched by the mob, she complied and actually wrote a f***ing research paper. She wrote an entire 8 page document, which I attach here. She posted it with the caption, “I am so genuinely sorry and I know this isn’t enough, but I promise to continue to try and be better.”
But even that wasn’t enough!
They kept attacking her AFTER she posted the research paper.
After demanding she write a research paper, one student comments this on her post of the research paper:
Screen Shot 2020-06-06 at 8.26.15 AM.png
That comment got 188 likes! And no push back!
Here’s another comment thread:
Screen Shot 2020-06-06 at 8.25.40 AM.png
Remember, there was nothing even racially insensitive about the original TikTok! Immature, sure, but nothing racial about it at all!
All this for the grave crime of attempting to flirt with a police officer.
I wish I was making this up but it’s all real. The world has gone insane.
Best,
Philip
Well, there would be some historical karma if Mt Rushmore was renamed; after all, it’s smack-dab in the middle of the land covered by the Black Hills Treaty, which the US government reneged on the day after it became convenient to do so. (It’s properly the Black Hills Treaties; the US government reneged on both of them).
In New Zealand provinces where the local tribes are reasonably militant, there have been mountains that have been reverted to their historical (i.e., pre-Whitey) names reasonably recently.
After all, all we’re arguing about is the fact that some cunts turned up and took it upon themselves to rename things – usually in order to curry favour with some other cunt.
.
One that’s particularly redolent for me (since my grandfather’s tribe has a significant presence in Taranaki, and I am a part owner by dint of that) is that Mount Egmont is now Taranaki Maunga (which has a meaning similar to, but not the same as, Mount Taranaki).
From 1986 to 2019 it was known as both Mt Egmont and Mt Taranaki: a Dec 2019 agreement with the tribes from the area declared that from 2020 onwards it would be called Taranaki Maunga and Egmont National Park would be Te Papakura o Taranaki.
Its pakeha name (Mt Egmont) was bestowed on it in 1770 by James Cook as he sailed past, for fuck’s sake: that would be like me renaming the United States to “Fucktardia” while flying over it.
Furthermore, the cunt he named it for (John Perceval, 2nd Earl of Egmont) never set foot in New Zealand – so fuck him.
And to think… the Romans thought that the people of Germana were uncultured savages whose propensity for violence made them unfit to be citizens. “Est barbarorum corpore pingere”.
Arminius sure taught those uppity self-centred guinea SPQR motherfuckers what’s up: Rome’s 3 most famous legions (XVII, XVIII and XIX), lured into the Teutoberger Wald and subjected to can after can of Whoop-Ass (roughly 95% losses, including auxiliaries and 3 cavalry squadrons.
Odd how frequently throughout history, the ‘dominant’ race/tribe/people cast aspersions on some other group whose shit they were stealing or had stolen. Then a bunch of time later, the ‘dominant’ guys make Fiats and the ‘savages’ make Mercedes.

Good. I’m glad she’s catching all this flak. I don’t wish her physical harm, but I hope the stress and pressure drive her from the campus. This is a stupid, childish stunt, meant primarily to illustrate her alleged cuteness and manipulative wiles (I am assuming she wasn’t able to talk her way out of the ticket).

Married Jewish men voted for Trump over Hillary 51%-49%. They may have put him over the top in MI and WI.
The student body voted to change the name to “Robber Barons” around the Jim Plunkett era if I recall. In those crazy old days college administratios actually disregarded student antics instead of pondering and caving. Thus the Cardinal.
In the 90’s there was a white comedian who did a bit about an old timey sportscaster announcing the traditional (fictional) thanksgiving Howard vs. Yeshiva football classic. Can’t remember the nicknames he made up but I do remember … (sounding like Howard Cosell) “we’re tied here with three minutes left in the contest Howard down by four. You may recall in the first half when Yeshiva fumbled on their own ten but Howard couldn’t cash that welfare check due to a stingy defense and got jewed down to a field goal. You can’t be lazy with this Yeshiva team.”etc.
The set-up had to do with the Fighting Irish and how other schools could work this angle.
Such cuteness and adorability!

There is no “Jewish community.” There’s a vague, porous group with a lot of excess money sloshing around among the least religious*, run by older atheist Jews whose kids have mostly out-married, thus many non-profits with vague “Jewish” agendas and zero Jewish content, except whining. They don’t really stand up for Jews, they stand up for their own fund raising.
Never heard a Jewish org say a damn thing about this:

Big kerfuffle at Oklahoma State (I think) where some Dindu player saw a picture of the coach wearing an OAN t-shirt while he was on vacation. OAN is a conservative TV channel. Said Dindu decided that this was racist and he needed to have a “conversation” with the coach. The entire offensive line sided with him.
Naturally the coach debased himself as fast as he could, probably because most of his team is black and he knows that he will get no help from his school.
Someone with balls would have told the player politely that everyone was entitled to freedom of speech and he could leave the team if he didn’t like it. Then pull the scholarships and expel the miscreants as needed.

I’d at least take some preliminary steps before buying a gun f0r defensive purposes. A good thing to do would be to go to a sanctioned gun range that rents pistols to the public (if a pistol is what a person is looking for) and try out a moderate but potent caliber, like a 9mm or .38 Special or even a .380 auto. That will give a prospective gun owner an inkling of the devastating power that an effective firearm will unleash on an attacker…and give him an idea of whether he is psychologically capable of shooting someone. Then take a class.
Frankly, however, I’m wary of the “I’ve never owned a gun and I don’t like them, but I’ll buy one anyway because things are getting bad,” mindset. Obviously, it isn’t the lack of experience that I have a problem with, because everyone starts with a lack of experience. Most people are raised to treat other people kindly, and it’s my impression that that’s where the dislike for defensive firearms comes from. It’s a cultural trait that’s difficult (for everyone) to overcome, but it must be overcome. Hesitating for humanitarian reasons in a confrontation with an armed attacker will get you killed.
Also, when you don’t like guns, you never practice. Recoil and maintaining a proper sight picture are the main things that keep firearms from being the science fiction ray gun point-at-someone-and-they-die devices that non-gun people sometimes think they are.

A: “I’d like to work really long hours convincing 17 and 18-year old dimwits to come play football for me. Then I’d like to spend the next few years hanging around with these dimwits, learning their music and talking like them, while trying to get these same dimwits to remember the plays, not rape fellow “students”, and not violently assault people. Granted I know periodically they will get themselves all worked up into a lather over nothing and I’ll have to kiss their asses, but it seems like a small price to pay”.

When I was a child I was a fan of the Oakland Raiders. Ignoring the NFL is a trivial exercise for me. I personally think it would be a great idea if the black lives matter folks put 2 and 2 together and realize how much of the ruling class they could take out in one fell swoop on super bowl sunday with the 1500 dollar minimum ticket prices they are collecting there. I actually suggested this on another board with the opposite political faction to this one here and all the respondents there shrieked like I had pissed into their bowl of cocoa puffs.
Now I sort of root for the Houston Texans. I like Watt but on the other hand when they blew that four touchdown lead to Kansas City I thought it was hilarious and laughed out loud every time I loaded the browser tab in real time while they were folding.

College football should dump the phony “scholar athlete” trope. The teams/programs should be considered minor league pro. Players would not need to enroll in college classes; maybe training in a trade could be encouraged instead. The relationship between the team and the school would be strictly a business matter.
Moreover, amateur teams of enrolled students—following scheduled games quite apart from the “pro” team associated with the school—could revive the old-school experience of the true scholar athlete
It used to be infuriating, but now its just sad. What is it with these middle aged white guys that they put so much importance on the children’s game?

Plainclothes police, because they blend in, are able to observe and make arrests in crimes that would otherwise go unpunished. You’re not going to mug someone if you see a uniformed officer but as soon as he leaves you might. They also do things like drug buys that are crucial for getting drug dealers off the street. You’re not going to sell drugs to a uniformed officer either.
The 8.5 million citizens of NYC are Americans too. We should all be rooting for each other’s survival and prosperity. New Yorkers should be rooting for yours and vice versa. We are all in this together. The US has plenty of external enemies and frenemies. Hating some of your fellow Americans is only going to make the job of those enemies easier – divide and conquer is the oldest play in the book.
Is NY good for America? If you think that we would be better off without a financial industry, without a publishing industry, without an arts capital, etc. you are wrong. As satisfying as it might be to see the fat cats and loud mouths get their due, YOU would end up worse off too.
