Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Aubrey Lynch, an Indigenous elder from the Goldfields area, said: “This study confirms our beliefs that we have ancient connections to our lands and have been here far longer than anyone else.” Claims that Indigenous Australians are the most ancient continuous civilisation on Earth have been backed by the first extensive study of their DNA, which dates their origins to more than 50,000 years ago.

SENATOR BLAMED ATTACK ON MUSLIMS: SO BOY HITS HIM WITH EGG #whytheracecardisplayed

“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x74... #THEARTOFMGTOW

The racism of technology - and why driverless cars could be the most dangerous example yet Self-driving cars are by no means the first technology to fail when confronted by other ethnicities: Google’s image-recognition system notoriously failed to discern black people from gorillas. Almost every product design has failed to grapple with the reality of humanity, from Kodak colour film that reduced dark skin to a pitch-black smudge; to motion-activated taps and driers that refuse to acknowledge the presence of a brown hand but will trigger for a white one.

BREAKING: An Australian gunman was involved in the mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, which left multiple dead.

The young mother in this video, Dyma Loving, called 911 when a man pulled a gun on her and her young daughter.

Understand the trauma that simply being Black and calling 911 can cause.  #whytheracecardisplayed

Nooses, Confederate flags and monkey imagery: 19 black UPS workers say company ‘encouraged a culture of racism’ “African-American employees come to work each day not knowing whether a racist comment or conduct will confront them, being concerned that smirking or laughing white employees are ridiculing them because of their race, and walking on eggshells to avoid triggering a problem,” the lawsuit said.

Alabama Lawmaker Wants To Drug Test Food Stamp Recipients Republican state Representative Tommy Hanes  drafted the bill , which targets SNAP beneficiaries who have a “reasonable suspicion” of drug use.

Will Black Voters Still Love Biden When They Remember Who He Was? “I’ve been around so long, I worked with James Eastland,” Biden  said  at a rally for Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones in the fall of 2017. “Even in the days when I got there, the Democratic Party still had seven or eight old-fashioned Democratic segregationists. You’d get up and you’d argue like the devil with them. Then you’d go down and have lunch or dinner together. The political system worked. We were divided on issues, but the political system worked.”

Despite some people’s insistence that we live in a “post-racial” society, racism is still very real. People of color deal with oppression in almost all settings—and sadly, many students even face it at school. Now, a group of high school students in the Bronx is taking action against discrimination. The New York Daily News reports that yesterday, March 11th, students at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in the Bronx staged protests over the administration’s failure to address persistent racism on campus. In particular, the protesters—a group called Students of Color Matter—were unhappy with school officials’ response to a video in which students yelled “crack” and the n-word. Students of Color Matter chronicled their demonstration on Instagram, writing that they emailed administrators about the protest at 6 a.m. and that administrators later notified parents. The group shared a list of demands with administrative officials, held sit-ins in the school, and held a lockout at the adm

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - Officials with the College of Charleston are investigating and promise “appropriate action” after they say a social media video surfaced showing what appears to be students making racist statements. The video appears to show three people in a truck at the Francis Marion National Forest making statements regarding visiting a “slave farm.” CofC Interim President Stephen Osborne wrote to the campus community on Thursday saying the college’s Division of Student Affairs is investigating the matter and will take the appropriate action. “This week, I learned of a social media video that was deeply offensive and featured racist statements that made light of our country’s historical wrongs regarding slavery,” Osborne said."These disturbing comments run completely counter to our core values of integrity, respect for the individual student, diversity and community." http://www.live5news.com/2019/03/08/c... #whytheracecardisplayed

“All my jokes are quite racist lol,” he apparently said in one exchange in October 2017. “What do you call 2 old black people sitting on your front lawn,” a follow-up message said. “Antique farm equipment,” was the punchline. From the exchange, it appears that Berube tried to change the conversation, but eventually lead to Bouchard commenting on a woman’s weight, and then said, “I’m so sexist. Lol.” #whytheracecardisplayed

HOW TO DEFEAT RACISM AS A MINORITY IN AMERICA My name is jonathan. I was in jail. For what reason is not important. Jail teaches you things. And it taught me how to defeat racism in america as a black man. The days pass slowly in jail. Many things are done to past the time. Some play cards. Some watch television. Some sleep. Or workout. Others play chess. It was this game that taught me how to achieve victory over racism in america. And although this action could not be achieved by minorities many decades ago, because of the shift in power, it can be done far more easily during this day and age and beyond. I was one of those inmate who passed the time by sleeping. But this day i was restless. So decided to come out of my cell and sit in the day room. Another inmate whom i did not know asked me if i knew how to play chess and if so would i play against him. I said i did and that i would play. And the game began. After a few ceremonial moves by our pawns, we began to sp
