Some thoughts.



I just have a few thoughts before I let you get back to you regularly scheduled life.

Remember when riht-wingnuts were trying to tell us all that climate change wasn't a thing and it's all a hoax?

"Record-breaking temperatures have soared well past 100 degrees across the Pacific Northwest, where the area is trapped beneath a blistering "heat dome."

In a region where average temperatures are closer to the 70s this time of year, houses can be seen with blacked-out windows covered with blankets to help with the heat. The area's normally mild summers mean many households don't have air conditioning."

The historic heatwave is bringing with it fears about what could follow over the rest of this summer. "

It's not only the Northwest, the entire country is gripped in a serious heatwave. It's hot as hell (no pun intended) in damn near every state in America right now, and we're still in June. 

Isn't it funny how republicans are outraged about Gwen Berry, but were totally cool with the January 6th insurrectionists? 

"Sen. Tom Cotton is calling for Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry to be removed from the Olympic roster for turning her back on the U.S. flag during the national anthem over the weekend.

“I don’t think it’s too much, when athletes are competing to wear the Stars and Stripes, to compete under the Stars and Stripes in the Olympics, for them to simply honor that flag and our anthem on the medal stand,” the Arkansas Republican and former Army infantry officer told Fox News. “If Ms. Berry is so embarrassed by America, then there’s no reason she needs to compete for our country. She should be removed from the Olympic team.” 

These are the same folks who were down with MAGA rioters beating police officers with the American flag, and storming the capitol of the United States. The former guy's supporters are threatening to start a civil war and this clown is worried about an Olympic hammer thrower exercising her Constitutional right. 

Finally, there is a new imaginary threat to America, and it's called critical race theory. It's funny, because I'm pretty sure that ninety percent of the people crying a river about it have no idea what it is. It's just the latest tool in the right- wing arsenal to create a wedge between the American people and throw red meat to their base. And, as it turns out,  this isn't new. 

In the mid-1960s, in Orange County, California, a consortium of right-wing groups went to war against a textbook. Their ranks included concerned parents, right-wing members of educational societies, and members of the John Birch Society, a far-right extremist group that had risen in prominence by fearmongering about an internal Communist threat in the United States. The textbook in question — "Land of the Free: A History of the United States" — was the work of three progressive historians in response to a 1963 call from the Congress of Racial Equality’s Berkeley chapter to teach more inclusive history in elementary schools. It was a time when the Civil War was almost exclusively taught as a “states' rights” issue, a framing that elided or whitewashed the realities of slavery.

According to historian Elaine Lewinnek, who memorialized the controversy in a 2015 Pacific Historical Review article, "Land of the Free" sought to integrate the struggles and triumphs of minorities throughout U.S. history. Critically, it opened with an admission that the United States had not lived up to its purported ideals from the very beginning, excluding Black people, Native Americans and women from the franchise, and from representation in office for the vast majority of its existence.

Once the book became a mandatory part of the California state public school curriculum, the backlash from right-wing groups was swift and fierce. One John Birch society representative told The New York Times that the book would give white schoolchildren “a guilt complex.” Hundreds of parents aired their grievances to California’s educational authorities, Lewinnek found, protesting at school board meetings. They denounced the book for “stirring up past injustices,” “overrepresenting” Black contributions to American history, and being “unpatriotic” and “communist.” A shadowy extremist group funded a filmstrip attacking the textbook’s lead author, and called their work Education or Indoctrination?

Fifty-four years later, that exact title would be reflected in a headline for the right-wing website The Daily Signal: “Education or Indoctrination? ‘Anti-Racist’ Teaching Sweeps K-12 Schools Targeting ‘Whiteness,'” the site blared in December of 2020." [Link]

Whenever you tell the truth about American history you risk pissing off some folks who would like us to forget the ugly side of it. It's not un-American to tell the truth. It's un-American to run away from it and pretend that aspects of our history that we don't like didn't happen.  

That's all folks.

Yeah, I went to school in California in the sixties and seventies and I never saw that book.
I did well in school, and I don't remember ever being taught about slavery or the civil war.
Republicans are afraid of the truth being taught because it makes them look bad.
It makes them look bad because they are bad.
Perhaps if they sucked less, they would have fewer things to be afraid of, but that's not gonna happen.
CRT is just one of the latest trigger words the goddamn Republicans use to keep their idiot hordes het up, terrified, voting and donating.
They don't give a rat's ass about it any more than they do about abortion, and you can confirm that with their mistresses if you like.

Conservatives are such snowflakes. Can’t teach real history because it hurts their fee fees. I mean let’s grow up, we can criticize our country because believe it or not it isn’t perfect. Just a bunch of thin skinned goofballs.

$$ to donuts wingnuts will never say die on climate change denial. Such mass hysteria surely qualifies as some phenomenal mental health pandemic. But with wingnuts there is no psychosis. They live their lives in relative calm unperturbed by the cognitive dissonance that defines them. Just to rub it on the rest of the country, there is a small belt between Los Angeles and the border along the coast that is experiencing the same overcast, moist and cool weather as San Francisco. The humidity is high, but temps are so low that it is downright chilly at night. Daytime highs range from 72-73 degrees. I wish that I had known today was the lowest temps of the week. I would have taken my family to Dripping Springs Nature Area near Temecula and Vail Lake. Thinking of going tomorrow. Highs in the low 80s. Plenty of sun.

I honestly can't even understand how the "family" can deny the truth of the Capitol insurrection and the accompanying police beatings. Beating fucking cops with clubs? That's madness! Deviltry. The idiot club refuses to acknowledge any problem exists. Guys who have been studying wingnuts for decades are dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it initially. It makes no sense. But there it is. They refuse to watch videos put together by journalists and "lefties" as if somehow the videos are faked? WTF? Just as many believe the whole thing was Antifa. I tried making fun of them. But you just can't get through to them.

As far as Critical Race Theory... All I can say is way to prove that it should be mandatory for grades seven and above. We are dealing with another pandemic. What do you do when so many people have lost their minds? Can we blame Trump for giving them the final poison draft that destroyed their minds utterly? It's as good a theory as any.

Flying Junior said...

Doug is right. They didn't even really cover the Civil War in public schools.

I remember one or two textbooks in 1975-1977 that briefly touched upon slavery. They talked about how slaves were auctioned. They talked about runaway slaves, the Fugitive Slave Act and a little bit about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. They mentioned Douglass. And of course Abraham Lincoln and the profound sadness that haunted him as he fought to preserve the union. These were brand new editions. They included drawings and reproductions of posters depicting slaves and auctions. But the first time most people saw anything that really taught the story was Alex Haley's Roots. Even Roots didn't go very far in depicting abject suffering and cruelty. For decades we were told to read Uncle Tom's Cabin. Seriously.

I think I learned more about slavery studying the music of the slaves in college, 1978-1984.

This is the textbook from the class taught by Cecil Lytle in 1982. It was first published in 1977.

Sinful Tunes and Spirituals.

I was there for the great black awakening of the UCSD Music Department. That year we brought in pianist and scholar, Cecil Lytle to be our department head. Because it was his first year, I had the joy of taking two classes from the great man himself as an undergrad. Soon he brought in some black faculty. I enjoyed a great class about jazz taught by trombonist Jimmy Cheatham. After he led a fun concert by some faculty guys that could still show off some chops and his wife on Fender Rhodes and vocals in the Muir Quad, UCSD was never the same. They even played A Night in Tunisia. You should have seen those old professors playing their asses off. lolz. Jeannie Cheatham sang a raunchy blues that had everybody on the edge of their seats. We even got a visit from Ed Bland to tell us about the music business. At this time the only university in the country that had a jazz curriculum was North Texas University.

Critics of the defund the police movement in Oakland, California, are highlighting a recent attempted robbery as the perfect example of what inevitably happens when a local government decides to slash its police budget.
What happened?
On Monday, a local Bay Area news crew, KNTV-TV, was interviewing Oakland's violence prevention director on the steps of City Hall when a pair of armed robbers approached the group with guns and attempted to steal the camera equipment.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a scuffle ensued during the attempted robbery before a security officer brandished a firearm and drove the would-be burglars away.

Only days earlier, Oakland's City Council voted to reallocate $18 million of police funding to community violence prevention programs. The bulk of that money will now go to the Department of Violence Prevention, a group that reportedly aims to counter violence in the city by sending out "civilian violence interrupters and life coaches."

A spokesperson for KNTV-TV later confirmed the incident to the Chronicle.

"Our colleagues were conducting an interview at Oakland City Hall when they were approached by two armed individuals," said Liza Catalan, a spokeswoman for the station. "Thankfully our colleagues are safe and unharmed."

The suspects fled without any equipment and no injuries were reported, but given the irony of the situation, news of the incident quickly spread online.

What are people saying?
After the Oakland Police Officers' Association shared the story on Facebook, several followers derided the city's defund the police campaign by posting snarky remarks in the comments section. Such comments included:

"Irony defined......"
"Ironic"
"Karma"
Liberal stupidity at its finest."
"This kind of liberal stupidity has failed miserably every place implemented. They should be adding 18 million to the police budget."
"Would have been a great opportunity for Mr. Cespedes to jump in and demonstrate how to handle a situation like this rather than relying on an armed security guard."
"Officers eligible for retirement nows the time. Current officers go work for an agency where the government supports its police!"

There was a 350 billion package of funds available for cities to use to hire more police, buy equipment, etc. and not a single magat in the house or senate voted in favor of it.

"Critical race theory" has something in common with the "theory of evolution." Both are bolstered by some many facts, facts, facts as to remind us that "theory" doesn't necessarily mean "unproven," merely an overarching reality that aligns with overwhelming proof. And as to white kids developing guilt complexes? To worry about that is not to understand kids. They are reading about the world YOU made, not one that THEY had anything to do with. It takes two uptight parents to make the kid IDENTIFY with CAUSING the horrors of the past, and even then the kid'll only likely feel angry about being blamed! Just teach facts, and go light on the really gory parts until high school.

The judge, James Patrick Hanlon, was appointed by Donald Trump. I think this goes to show that judges' decisions are frequently unpredictable by party affiliation.

This incident proves nothing. In order to discover if a new method of policing is at all effective is necessary to track the incidents over time and to compare the results to a previous time period. Even this method has serious limitations because correlation does not prove causation. You are indulging in a common false logic called hasty generalization.

"Critical race theory" has something in common with the "theory of evolution."

They are precise opposites.  Evolution by natural selection assumes a change in the distribution of inherent traits.  Critical "theory" assumes that there's NO SUCH THING as inherent traits, only miasmas like "structural", "cultural" and "implicit" racism.

In Critical Race "theory", you are not allowed to consider inherent traits such as IQ, impulse control and propensity to violence and other crime.  You are not allowed to consider differences in conscientiousness and empathy.

Both are bolstered by some many facts, facts, facts as to remind us that "theory" doesn't necessarily mean "unproven," merely an overarching reality that aligns with overwhelming proof.

There's overwhelming proof that CRT is simply Maoist class war with class replaced by race.  A survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution was kind enough to point this out at a Loudoun county school board meeting.

And as to white kids developing guilt complexes? To worry about that is not to understand kids. They are reading about the world YOU made, not one that THEY had anything to do with.

Ah, but they do when so much is attributed to "Whiteness".  Actually, when anything is.

It takes two uptight parents to make the kid IDENTIFY with CAUSING the horrors of the past

Like the horrors of Reconstruction?  The Knoxville Horror?  The Wichita Massacre?  Louis Till's (Emmet's father) rapes and murders of Italian women after the surrender of Italy?  The same pattern of rapes and murders which led to the Cave of the Negroes in post-war Japan?

YOU no doubt identify the responses which ended these things or brought perps to justice as "racism".

and even then the kid'll only likely feel angry about being blamed! Just teach facts

Facts like "White supremacy" has nothing to do with Africans killing each other every day in Chimpcongo.  It's the nature of you beasts.

With regard to critical race theory:

The owners of the pen A.K.A. "white owned and operated book publishing companies" always get to write their own history. And when you write your own history you get to paint yourself as an angel and every other culture as "SAVAGES."

History books have always been filled with lies, distortions and omissions. They have always been falsely written to make it appear that Europeans are the only ones with a "civilization" and that civilization began in Europe and that every other culture (especially Black Africans) are savages and ignorant. This is the narrative that the "dominant culture" would like everyone (especially their own kind) to believe. Because it allows them to raise their children to show black and browns folks no HUMANITY and to think of blacks and browns as "less than animals."
Remember, the brain is a very easy tool to manipulate.

Science, math, medicine and art all began in Black Africa and Asia. Hell, the Egyptians invented geometry, and fractions (NOT EUCLID). And Egyptians and other Africans invented surgery, brain surgery, embalming and anesthesia....

While Europeans were still living in caves (because they didn't know how to build their own homes) and eating raw food because they didn't make the connection that you could cook using fire. The fact is that ASIA and AFRICA have always had a rich civilization and a rich culture.

When Europeans began to travel the world on their boats, (and couldn't even use a compass correctly) it didn't take long for them to realize that THEY are the true minority and THEY had no culture of their own. And so began the "all out mission to lie, and distort and re-write history." Marco Polo wrote of how civilized and advanced the Asians are, and the jealousy of other explorers caused them to destroy the full lips and noses of the Egyptian Sphinxes because they were jealous that Africans possessed so much knowledge.

What most people don't know is that Europeans have always stolen from Asia and Africa to "create a culture" where they didn't have their own. Hell, look at any map. Europe really didn't even have their own continent. They created one. Their "continent" is really a part of Asia. Hence the name "EurAsia."

Llies, distortions, omissions and the re-writing of history to suit a racist agenda has been allowed to continue for centuries.

It was only after years of protest that "some" history books began to devote a paragraph or two to Black history (and only to say that slaves came her without a skill, or a culture and without any intelligence and that they would be nothing and no one without the white master). More lies that they would like everyone to believe.

You even have white teachers telling elementary, and middle school students in history classes that the slaves were "happy because they sang and danced."

In short, not many who are guilty of atrocities against others are willing to point an accusatory finger at themselves.

The cell phone and the electronic media make it harder and harder to keep the racist agenda perpetuated. In order for the "dominant culture " to remain in power they can't afford to have too many whites sympathizing with the Black struggle in America. If too many of them begin to believe that "BLACK LIVES MATTER" just as much as white lives have always mattered, then they believe they will lose the power to dominate and oppress.

When most people that don't play fairly in the first place are losing a fight they will do anything to win... "Don't teach the little white kids about slavery in America. We can't have our young ones knowing about that. It might end racism in America and we can't afford to lose our power. It took us 400 years to build this empire and we aint' about to give it up without a FIGHT."

This young lady exercised her rights as an American citizen in a "peaceful" way and did not hurt anyone.

The inusrrectionists had "MURDER" "SEEK AND DESTROY" on their agenda. They murdered a police officer, caused one to commit suicide and put other police officers in the hospital

The republicans say that they are for the police and law and order but give the insurrectionists a PASS when they murdered the police and destroyed the capitol.

"HYPOCRITES!"

I guarantee you that when the white history book publishers write the story they will make the riot look like a peaceful protest and slavery in America will look like a "relief effort to help those poor black folks escape from Africa."

What makes you think that MODERN Egyptians have much in common with ANCIENT Egyptians?

They don't.

https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15694

"Particularly, in the first millennium BCE Egypt endured foreign domination leading to growing numbers of foreigners living within its borders possibly contributing genetically to the local population. Here we present 90 mitochondrial genomes as well as genome-wide data sets from three individuals obtained from Egyptian mummies. The samples recovered from Middle Egypt span around 1,300 years of ancient Egyptian history from the New Kingdom to the Roman Period. Our analyses reveal that ancient Egyptians shared more ancestry with Near Easterners than present-day Egyptians, who received additional sub-Saharan admixture in more recent times."

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/ancient-mummies-finally-give-their-genetic-secrets-180963518/

"This suggests that the invading peoples from Nubia and Rome didn’t significantly intermix with the ancient Egyptians during the centuries before the year 0 AD—but that sometime since, a mass influx of African genes entered the Egyptian population."

It should be no surprise that Egypt's civilization was well past its peak by 1000 BCE, and it's a shithole today.  Blacks ruin everything.

It is most obvious that a large segment of the population believes that when it comes to the US Constitution and Racism....that the Constitution takes "SECOND PLACE."

Let me break it down for you.

When it comes to how the "non-whites" are handled and treated over in America (including all those hispanics who worship the great white father, aspire to be white and are hoping to be accepted into whitedom) They all need to remember the following:

"KEEPING RACISM ALIVE 'TRUMPS' THE CONSTITUTION." ...literally and figuratively.


...Remember folks...The Constitution was never written with "people of color in mind."
Duuuh. Any rights that people of color get in America had to be fought for. And the minute their backs are turned anything that people of color achieved gets taken away with the "sweep of a pen."

When will ya'll ever learn?

SCOTUS apparently thinks it's fine to deliberately create an obstacle course to make it harder for brown people to vote. As long as you don't come out and explicitly tell them, "No, colored folks, this whole voting business is not for you," that's good enough to satisfy the Voting Rights Act.

Does anyone really think that the previous POTUS will be charged or indicted with anything?
The answer is "Hell NO."

He has been playing the "Catch Me If You Can!" game.
So far, he''s been winning.

I'm betting that the same thing happens again. Someone else will be the fall guy but not the ex POTUS.

He has nothing to worry about.

Prior to his presidency, he got away with it because, like the classic bully he is, he picked on people weaker than him.

During his presidency, he got away with it because he had cash and prizes and pardons to hand out to keep his henchmen loyal.

But neither of those things are true anymore, so, yes, I do think he's in trouble. Trump is arrogant and stupid enough to thing his misdeeds won't catch up with him. I wouldn't count on it, though. Even the Republicans will abandon him, once they've found their new, replacement Trump. That party isn't short or racists and thugs and they'll easily find someone equally scummy to be their standard-bearer for 2024.

Fifteen felony counts brought against Weaselberg and Fergus Org. with mention of an unindicted coconspirator in a fifteen year scheme to avoid taxes that kinda resembles the NYT reporting about Ivanka last year.
Grand jury still seated, meeting three times a week until the end of the year, so likely more to come.
Fergus still thinks he's untouchable, but he may find out different.
Perhaps his anxiety was a factor in his revelation that he has made his decision about 2024?
Or more likely he's just freaking out about his waning media status and needed a hit of the attention he's addicted to.

The NYT video chronicling the details of the 1/6 attack is an excellent piece of journalism.

Anyone who crosses the border into America has not committed a criminal act until determined by trial.

Illegal alien is certainly not a federal term.

Illegal is a description of status.

"There are resident aliens officially permitted to live in the country and illegal aliens who have sneaked into the country or stayed beyond the time allowed on a visa."

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Illegal+alien

Unlawful entry into the US is a crime.

"(a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts

Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

(b) Improper time or place; civil penalties
Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of—
(1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or
(2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection.

Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed."

So Massachusetts cops roll up on some heavily armed meatheads off for militia training in another state who apparently ran out of gas on the way. The meatheads were not compliant at first and tried to escape into the woods, unsuccessfully.
Now this kind of thing happens on a regular basis all over the country, and we've become so used to it that nothing ever happens to the meatheads, see also Bundy, Cliven, Ammon et al.
But as these Rhode Island meatheads in distress in Massachusetts were Black, the cops freaked right out and brought in the armored vehicles and paramilitary reinforcements.
Shouldn't we have some sort of standardized meathead response criteria or something? I mean there are currently lots and lots of heavily armed meatheads, so the cops have had lots and lots of practice at dealing with them.

It wasn't a slave ship, at least not once it hit Virginia.  The Africans who debarked there in 1619 were treated as indentured servants, working for a period of time to repay the cost of their passage.

It wasn't until 1655 that Anthony Johnson (himself an African who had worked off his indenture) was declared to be the owner of John Casor for life, which established chattel slavery in the first English colony in the Americas; that means slavery was a multi-cultural import.  From 1655 to 1865 was only 210 years.

YOU DO THE MATH.

I did the math already; from 1776 to 1865 was only 89 years.  We're now 156 years past 1865.
