Ready to hold your breath – if you are white – for George Floyd? [Penn State professor says school forced him to teach English language is ‘White supremacy:’ ‘Religious cult’, FoxNews.com, June 25, 2023]:

A professor is suing Pennsylvania State University for race discrimination after he was subjected to instruction that the English language is racist and the embodiment of “White supremacy,” along with additional tirades against White people in professional development trainings, according to a lawsuit.

Professor Zack De Piero “was individually singled out for ridicule and humiliation because of the color of his skin,” the lawsuit, filed by The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR), said.

De Piero was an English professor at Penn State Abington.

“When he complained about the continuous stream of racial insult directed at White faculty in the writing department, the director of the Affirmative Action Office told him that ‘There is a problem with the White race,’ that he should attend ‘antiracist’ workshops ‘until you get it,’ and that he might have mental health issues,” the lawsuit alleged.

Some of the workshops included a presentation captioned “White Teachers are a Problem,” according to the lawsuit.

“The ‘White Teachers are a Problem’ video imposed on Penn State faculty… associated ‘White supremacy’ with all the evils of the world,” according to the suit.

De Piero explained in an interview with Fox News Digital that he was expected by the university to submit to antiracist brainwashing and doctrine, particularly that he as a White person was inherently flawed on the basis of history.

He said the university wanted him to believe that “as a White individual, I’m somehow responsible for all the injustices and suffering currently in the world and in the history of the world.”

De Piero continued, “I think there is almost a religious, cult-like environment where you had this Original Sin. In this case, I’m White. I need to repent for that sin. I need to keep going to these [trainings], keep doing the work… I think they were waging a psychological war campaign and they’re trying to break people. And they almost broke me. But they didn’t.”

His direct report in the English department, Liliana Naydan, “expressed her view that racism practiced against White faculty and students is legitimate,” according to the lawsuit. Naydan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit alleged Nayden tried to coerce faculty to introduce equity into the grading process to ensure there weren’t disparities by “penaliz[ing] students academically on the basis of race.”

“Defendants’ bigotry manifests itself in low expectations. They do not expect Black or Hispanic students to achieve the same mastery of academic subject matters as other students and therefore insist that deficient performance must be excused,” the lawsuit said. “Second, Defendants’ bigotry manifests itself in overt discrimination against students and faculty who do apply consistent standards, especially White faculty.”

An equity administrator named in the suit, Alina Wong, engaged in breathing exercises in one session and suggested White staff needed to hold their breath longer than people of color in order to “‘feel the pain’ that George Floyd endured,” according to the lawsuit.

ORDER IT NOW

“De Piero and other faculty were thus singled out, caused to experience discomfort, and feel ‘the pain’ on the basis of their skin color,” the lawsuit said. Wong no longer works at Penn State; she is currently the vice president for institutional equity at Macalester College. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“An equity administrator named in the suit, Alina Wong, engaged in breathing exercises in one session and suggested White staff needed to hold their breath longer than people of color in order to “‘feel the pain’ that George Floyd endured,” according to the lawsuit.”

It’s all such a joke…

    There are so so so many ways to ask people to empty their pockets besides exploiting the Black man. But alas, a Walmart in Providence, R.I., thought it was clever to put a Black employee in a makeshift jail asking customers to contribute to his “bail,” according to The Providence Journal.

    I’m sure this incident would have been kept local until Angela Ankoma, leader of the Rhode Island Foundation’s Equity Leadership Initiative, posted a picture of this nonsense to Twitter.

    A19-year-old man has been charged in the killing of popular California bakery owner Jennifer Angel who was dragged to her death by a getaway car during a robbery gone wrong.

    But her family is calling for no jail time because it “goes against her social justice beliefs”.

    Ishmael Jenkins Burch was arrested in Oakland on suspicion of felony murder with robbery enhancements on June 5, court records show. He was first taken into custody in San Francisco on June 2 on battery charges.

    “Anarchist” baker Angel was robbed while in her car in the 2000 block of Webster Street, in Oakland, on February 6.

    The robber ran to a waiting car to flee. Angel attempted to retrieve her belongings and was knocked to the ground during a struggle, according to police.

  6. OT: My last comment here on SBPDL was about the story of thirteen-years-old Ashton Rickard, a Caucasian girl who was clothes shopping with her mother at the Walmart in Aiken, South Carolina when a .45 ACP round was “randomly” fired from a 1911 pistol went through one of her arms and into her abdomen. This happened during the early evening hours of June seventh of this year.

    The alleged shooter was thirty-two-years-old Stephen Christopher Foreman, a quadroon-looking guy who then placed his 1911 pistol on a Walmart store shelf and then he fled the Walmart. Stephen Christopher Foreman then went to a nearby KFC where he called 911 to claim responsibility for the Walmart shooting, and then he waited there for law enforcement to arrive.

    The authorities in Aiken, South Carolina have said that they do not know the motive of their “random” Walmart shooter suspect. What they do know about this quadroon-looking guy is that they had him in their custody back in 2019 for an incident at his home which involved him ordering his brother at gunpoint with a sawed-off shotgun to bind his parents with duct tape, and then he fled the home with some other guns that did not belong to him in a vehicle that did not belong to him. All of these charges were apparently dropped later for some reason though. (I thought that possession of a sawed-off shotgun is supposed to be a big deal to the feds? Hello, ATF?)

    https://theaugustapress.com/aiken-walmart-shooter-also-tied-up-parents-brother-in-2019-report/

    Anyway, why does it seem so much that whenever a Caucasian person gets “randomly” shot somewhere, it is some sort of non-Caucasian person who is holding the gun that fired that shot?

    Also, even though the good people of Aiken, South Carolina all rallied together for the benefit of young Ashton Rickard, doing things such as holding a blood donor drive in her name, and selling items as a fundraiser for her, the page in her name on the gofundme website has only received just a bit above $10,000 while its target goal is $100,000.

    https://www.gofundme.com/f/mznbz-with-medical-cost

    I guess this is just what we can expect now when some nutbar mystery-meat-looking guy with a previous violent criminal history shoots a Caucasian teenage girl inside of a Walmart: The reporting on the story will not receive extensive nationwide coverage. There will not be any free publicity for her page on the gofundme website, either.

    The worrying thing about the anti-White cult of “woketardation”in western societies is its diffuse and leaderless nature. Unlike the jonestown cultists who had a central figure calling all the shots, this is more like a systemic, metastasized infection that has no central root. I’m not sure how this thing can be dealt with, but the louder more upper echelon adherents, at some point, need to be taken out, so the tards further down in the pecking order get the picture. It’s going to to take multiple, massive doses of chemo to effectively deal with this infection.

    As with the human body, so too our social institutions.
    There are certain things that have to be done to maintain them.

    Without going into detail here about exactly what those things are*, it’s enough to point out that the dominant ideology of the West today, Identity Politics, actively works to prohibit the learning of those things.

    To the extent the hostile elite is “successful” in using Identity Politics as a weapon to beat the white population into submission it will undermine the very social institutions its power now controls. A process already well underway. A fact this article makes perfectly obvious.

    And speaking of undermining and Identity Politics, the fact that it’s the dominant ideology in the West today completely undermines the Oppressor/Oppressed argument upon which it is based. Begging the question: How can anything dominant be oppressed?

    Correspondingly, whites as whites, have no institutional power or cultural control.
    Begging the question: How can the powerless be oppressors?

    From this perspective it couldn’t be more obvious that Identity Politics is being used by the hostile elite to deflect attention from the fact that they are incompetent at social management. Which is the one thing they need to be competent in if they are to maintain their power.

    *The one thing that can be said about our social institutions is this:
    Explanation is to a social institution what blood is to the human body, especially the brain.
    Poor ciculation starves the cells of nutrients, quickly leading to malfunction.
    And that’s the situation we’re in today. Blood, so to speak, is not going to the brains of our social institutions. Which would explain why they are literally being run by the brainless.

    As I have said elsewhere, since it takes a far greater capital investment to revitalize a deteriorating social institution than it does to start a new one, it would be better to simply let the university go its declining way and instead start new academic institutions dedicated to inculcating values that are essential to human survival.

    Anything else is state-imposed insanity and, to use one of their favorite phrases against them, the only real existential threat to humanity.

    https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-report-black-expo-funds-green-tyeastia-i-am-my-ancestors-wildest-dreams/600285689/

    Minneapolis’ first Black Expo was troubled from the start, according to a city-funded report released Tuesday.

    The event, held earlier this year, had no detailed plan or budget, directed more public money out-of-state than to the local Black community for which it was intended, and contained numerous “contracting anomalies” that have raised the eyebrows of forensic accountants.

    The report, prepared for the City Auditor’s Office by consultant Baker Tilly, marks the first step in a multistage effort planned by city officials to get to the bottom of what happened with the “I Am My Ancestors’ Wildest Dream Expo” held in February at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

    Anyone remember the big Oberlin College law suit? Their compliance officer (black) moved on to another high paying position, but left the school in bad shape financially. I’d like to know if alumni donations went off the proverbial cliff.

    So now another bastion of higher learning shoots itself in the foot. I hope the injury is crippling.

    Wong has to be Asian, and I’m guessing Naydan is black. Schools pay bíg bucks for these compliance officer types, and this case is typical of the abuse they heap upon White people, just for being White. It appears PSU, like many schools has given them free reign to give vent to their hate and bigotry. I’m picturing Naydan enjoying forcing White people to grovel before her. I hope this professor has a fair judge, not some socialist Democrat, and several other corroborating witnesses, so he can win big, and others can start a class action against the school.

    We (White people) are just starting to scratch back in small ways. So far the defense is non violent and being done in the court room. I hope the sleeping giant is slowly awakening. Many have taken great advantage of my race because we are so law abiding and slow to anger. I pray that changes, and we develop a racial consciousness equal to that of blacks. When that happens, Whitey takes back his nation, and secures it for future generations.

  18. … he as a White person was inherently flawed…

    Using this logic, then, inheritance, which involves genetics, means that Whites must be genetically different from blacks. And any other race “insensitive” to blacks must also be genetically different from them.

    But the standard discourse (when it suits the purpose) is that, “We are all alike.”

    It cannot be both ways.

    Such reasoning is as “flawed” as the people who generate this nonsense.

    Whites are different, and thank God for the difference.

    I agree completely. Our elite, government, ruling class is terrible at social management. This nation is drowning in unintended consequences. We are bankrupt, less safe than ever, we have no borders, and our social priorities have made us a laughingstock.

    Top down management cannot work in a republic created to maximize individual liberty by limiting government. Still, the fools in charge keep trying to control more of our lives as they lurch farther left toward a communist model, attempting to subvert our constitution. They’ve created a racially divided, mongrelized nation that can only be controlled top down with force. They will try to disarm us, because they are brutish.

    Obviously, diversity is not a strength. Anyone who ever believed it to be anything but a problem to overcome was a total follower and useful idiot.

    In short, this is a hollowed out shell of the orderly society, based on Western thought, that I was born into 76 years ago.

    I am ok with the family of a murdered victim deciding if & how the perp is dealt with. Let these soft headed idiots who want to forgive the animal(s) who killed their son/daughter forgive them and lobby for no jail time on their behalf.

    If the courts allow that, then they should also allow for the family of a victim to deal with the perp on their own terms as well, whether it is by rope, bullet, burning, or baseball bat.

    Emmit Till and George Floyd: saints and symbols, mythical and sacred “victims” of “systemic racism” and “white supremacy, who will live, forever, hundreds of years after their deaths.

    And I’ve never heard anyone on Fox News debunk the lies and canards and mythology. Not only Geraldo Rivera, the Jewish “Hispanic” left-wing soi-disant republican and close friend of Sean Hannity, but also Jeanine Pirro and Laura Ingrahm, referred to the death of Floyd from a meth-and fentanyl-induced heart attack as a “murder” and “homicide.”

    And I suggest you watch and listen to Laura’s obsequious, even worshipful. interview with the radical leftist and Marxist, Cornel West, who supports open borders, limitless nonwhite immigration, legal and illegal, Hugo Chavez, Louris Farrakhan, the abolition of prisons (at least for blacks), critical race theory, and leftist insanity generally.

    Some blacks are having a hard time adjusting to the existence of written history. Since they don’t have much nobody knows which African tribes were slaughtering each other 200 years ago. They were of course being awful to each other because that’s how people are much of the time. If that history existed, or if they looked into history in general they’d realize their historical experiences aren’t exceptional.

    Nope. Smart affluent kids, though the school misuses their time and money. They reject 70% of their applicants and 85% of their matriculants finish on time. Pretty much everyone there majors in an academic subject; not sure any occupational subjects are offered. FWIW, US News ranked it 27th out of all the private colleges in the United States.
