Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

A couple denied being neo-Nazis. Their photo of baby ‘Adolf’ with a swastika proved otherwise. The group hoped to start a race war that would rid Britain — or at least the county of West Midlands, halfway between London and Liverpool — of anyone who didn’t happen to be white, according to police. When National Action was banned, after popular anti-Brexit campaigner Jo Cox was killed by a far-right extremist, the group re-branded, calling itself the TripleKMafia, a not-too-subtle allusion to the Ku Klux Klan. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/2018/11/12/couple-denied-being-neo-nazis-their-photo-baby-adolf-with-swastika-proved-otherwise/?noredirect=on&__twitter_impression=true

Colin Kaepernick’s Jersey Is Among The NFL’s Top Sellers Even though colin has been out of the league for years, his #7 san fran Jersey is still among the most sold amoung nfl players. Colin Kaepernick is still dealing with being blackballed by NFL owners and general managers, but at least he continues to get love from some from fans. 20 free agent quarterbacks have been signed ahead of him during the offseason, and even the blind can see that it’s a direct result of the stance he took when he refused to stand during the national anthem to protest against police brutality and systemic racism in America. The quarterback who threw for 2,241 yards and 16 touchdowns last year while starting 12 games has only been able to secure one workout with the Seattle Seahawks, despite being a few seasons removed from starting in the Super Bowl. But his fans are showing their support. Among last months best-selling jerseys released by the NFL Shop, Kaepernick ranked 17th ahead of quarterbac

Kansas official known for racist rants tells black citizens he’s ‘part of the master race’ A Leavenworth County official with a history of bizarre racists rants during debates at County Commission meeting has struck again. According to a video posted by Kos Staff, Commissioner Louis Klemp brought up his thoughts on the “master race” during a comment to a black constituent. “I don’t want you to feel like I’m picking on you, because we’re part of the master race. You know, you’ve got a gap in your teeth you’re the master race, don’t forget that,” he said. While the comment was meant to be a joke, it seemed a little off-putting from an official known for overt racism. He and the constituent both have gaps in their teeth, so it appeared as though he was attempting to make some kind of connection with her. The term “master race,” however, comes from Nazis seeking to create an Aryan race with blond hair and blue eyes. In the United States, the term arose from the master-slave re

Indigenous women kept from seeing their newborn babies until agreeing to sterilization, says lawyer Canadian province of Saskatchewan: Sterilizations happened as recently as 2017, Saskatchewan lawsuit alleges At least two women involved in the lawsuit were surgically sterilized after giving birth at the Royal University Hospital, which the Saskatoon Health Region oversees in Saskatoon. (Trevor Bothorel/CBC) As a senator calls for a nationwide review of the forced sterilization of Indigenous women , a lawyer representing a proposed class action detailed the women's accounts of being sterilized without proper and informed consent. "In the throes of labour ... they would be approached, harassed, coerced into signing these consent forms," said Alisa Lombard, an associate with Maurice Law, the first Indigenous-owned national law firm in Canada. The women would be told that they could not leave until their tubes were tied, cut or cauterized, she added, or that "

Anger erupts after drag king performs as Muddy Waters in blackface A Hawaiian drag king show went awry after a white performer donned blackface to depict bluesman Muddy Waters, reports Queerty . The show was an anti-suicide youth fundraiser at Kauai Beach Resort and happened last Friday during a show called “A Show Fit for a Queen.” A short video clip of “Muddy, The King of Memphis” performing to “Mannish Boy” surfaced online and organizers and participants said they cut it off after protests. Event promoter Matt Sagum said he arrived late and had to go on stage himself before he could put a stop to it. “I arrived 20 minutes late,” he writes. “When I got backstage I didn’t notice her at first. Once I got settled in, I looked up and saw… One of the other queens pulled me aside and was like ‘WTF is that?!’ To which I had no response other than ‘That is not going to fly’. By the time this conversation ended it was my turn to go on stage.” “I finished my number an

Racist teacher won’t back down after she’s busted for calling man the N-word in front of his kids A black mom in Maryland confronted the white woman who hurled the N-word at her husband because of the way he pulled out of a spot, and the racist woman turned out to be an employee of a local school district. On Monday, Dawn Lennon shot video of a confrontation following the racial insult, which she posted to Facebook. “So while leaving the Walmart parking lot my husband was called The N Word, because he didn’t move out the parking spot the way she wanted him to,” she wrote. “The thing I thought was so profound is that she was proud of it and didn’t try to deny it.” In the video a white woman wearing a jacket from the Washington football team is seen parking her car before the confrontation. “Did you just call my husband the N-word, in front of my children?” Lennon asks in the video. “Yeah, I did,” the woman says. According to WJLA , the woman has been identif

JEWISH STUDENTS 'TAKE A KNEE' DURING HATIKVA IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINIANS “Taking a knee,” meaning to kneel on one knee during the playing of the national anthem, was adopted in 2016 by NFL football star Colin Kaepernick in protest against police brutality. Two Grade 9 students at the United Herzlia Middle School in Cape Town, South Africa “took a knee” in solidarity with Palestinians while Hatikva was sung during an award ceremony last week, and were disciplined by the school for their protest. “Taking a knee,” meaning to kneel on one knee during the playing of the national anthem, was adopted in 2016 by NFL football star Colin Kaepernick in protest against police brutality against African-Americans. Some Americans perceived the athlete’s protest during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner as being disrespectful to the national anthem, armed service personnel and veterans. In a letter sent to parents of all pupils at the school, United Herzlia director of ed
