Modern Manners
Professor Abdullah, above, describes herself as “Chair of Pan-African Studies at Cal State LA, #BlackLivesMatter organiser, Pan-Africanist, Hip Hop scholar, womanist, truth-teller.”
We’ve been here before, of course. As when we were told, by an ungendered being named Sunny Drake, that if you should be mugged by a black person, or in a part of town where lots of black people happen to live, then you shouldn’t call the police, or allow others to. You see, reporting the crime would be proof of your “privilege” and “ignorant racism.” And if your refusal to alert the police subsequently results in someone else being robbed by the same mugger – say, a black person – then at least you can take comfort in the fact that you won’t be accused of racism by one pretentious pinhead. And any brown-skinned people who subsequently find themselves being mugged by that same person will doubtless be sending thank-you cards, praising your uncommon wokeness.
Update:
In the comments, Farnsworth M Muldoon steers us to an article in which Professor Abdullah, our self-styled “truth-teller,” claims that policing is “intentionally constructed” to “return enslaved people to their alleged owners.” It is, she insists, merely a tool of – wait for it – “white supremacist patriarchal heteronormative capitalist society.” A string of words that should remind us that regurgitating Marxoid phrases is merely an approximation of mental activity. And which in turn may explain the professor’s conceit that calling the police is a racist act if the criminal in question happens to be black – while conversely, being granted a license to commit crime with impunity and no fear of police involvement or any corrective consequences, on account of being black, is, somehow, rather mysteriously, in no way racist or a privilege.
Crap. Scold-O-Mat 9000, here I come.
Fixeded?
I coulda swored I previewed that…Apologies for the italics…
Unless of course it was Spiny…Good job, lad. What’s the secret?

You’ll be relieved to hear that, after much rummaging and some salty language, I discovered that it was Mr Norman who failed to close the final tag in his preceding comment.
Ahem.

Thank God. I ain’t been paid in 6 weeks and I ain’t got no funds for no fines…Spiny…
Wokeness is a mental illness.
Even if they DID manage to take over something as large as a military base, . . .
How would taking over a military base be any different?

I reckon this has been discussed before but worth another go.
1. Physically attractive workers are more confident, and higher confidence increases wages.
2. For a given level of confidence, physically attractive workers are (wrongly) considered more able by employers.
3. Controlling for worker confidence, physically attractive workers have better verbal skills (such as communication and social skills) that raise their wages when they interact with employers.
Markus M Mobius has written an essay on this theme. Wondering what the response will be from the perpetually outraged.

Income fairness policy because of looks, every body is a beach body, and on and on. The left, as has been pointed out elsewhere, appears to be taking Harrison Bergeron as an instruction manual
@frootfulharry should be consoled by the observation that it is MUCH easier to convert the hearing to the deaf than the reverse.
So guns should be banned and calling the police is racist. I’ll just wait to die then.

Ah, but yours will be a sacrifice for the cause.

There was a time, I believe, when it was not uncommon for parents to want the best for their children.
Is there a single Marxist and/or Black nationalist in the United States who is NOT a teacher of some sort?

Many are “journalists”, and some are politicians, but as it has been shown that schools of “education” are the easiest to get into and get fancy degrees out of with little to no work, it attracts them. Further, as the same schools are nigh the only place they can get “work”, it is a seemingly endless spiral of insipidness.

Can we please…please please please please please stop funding this idiocy? Why are people so afraid to say this? Why when the cry goes out for more spending on education are not these ass hats paraded before the public? You want more money for legitimate education? Start by firing the clown element. This ain’t rocket science.
