June 22, 20205 yr Why do some people get cancelled and others do not? JK Rowling is being cancelled for saying that trans women are not like biological women, but Kimmel gives himself a vacation and he can keep plugging along despite being in blackface.
June 22, 20205 yr Quote Theodore Roosevelt statue will be removed from the front steps of the Museum of Natural History CNN)A statue of President Theodore Roosevelt in front of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City will be removed, a statement from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's office said Sunday. Following the museum's request to remove the statue, which features the nation's 26th President on a horse with a Native American man standing on one side and an African man standing on the other, the mayor's office announced the approval. The announcement comes as several state's grapple with how to handle removals of confederate monuments and other controversial statues. "The American Museum of Natural History has asked to remove the Theodore Roosevelt statue because it explicitly depicts Black and Indigenous people as subjugated and racially inferior," de Blasio's office said in a statement to CNN. "The city supports the museum's request. It is the right decision and the right time to remove this problematic statue." While it was meant to celebrate Roosevelt as a "devoted naturalist and author of works on natural history," the statue also "communicates a racial hierarchy that the museum and members of the public have long found disturbing," a press release on the museum's website said. No date has been set for the removal and the mayor's office is still working to determine next steps, a spokesperson for the mayor's office told CNN Sunday. The statue, titled "Equestrian Statue of Theodore Roosevelt" was commissioned in 1925 and made its debut in 1940 as part of the state's larger memorial to Roosevelt, according to the museum. "To understand the statue, we must recognize our country's enduring legacy of racial discrimination -- as well as Roosevelt's troubling views on race," the press release said. "We must also acknowledge the museum's own imperfect history. Such an effort does not excuse the past but it can create a foundation for honest, respectful, open dialogue." Last week, in neighboring New Jersey, trustees at Monmouth University voted to remove President Woodrow Wilson's name from the campus's Great Hall. "Wilson was a controversial politician, who never actually set foot in the current building," university president Patrick Leahy said in a statement to students on Juneteenth. "Removing his name, and incorporating these earlier names, connects the centerpiece of our campus more accurately to our historical roots and eliminates a symbolic barrier to the important work of creating a truly welcoming and inclusive space in the Great Hall." The school will instead honor its lead designer Julian Abele, one of the first professional trained African American architects, according to a statement from the university. Wilson, for whom the Princeton University Public and International Affairs school is named for, once called racial segregation "a benefit" and defended the enslavement of Black people by saying slaves "were happy and well-cared for." He also denied admission to African American men and sought to exclude them from the school's history when he was president of the university in 1902. Princeton was forced to reevaluate its relationship with the embattled president but did not rename the school. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/22/us/new-york-theodore-roosevelt-statue-removal-trnd/index.html

June 22, 20205 yr BLM is a scam that raises money for dumbocrats. Go on BLM’s website and drill down from the "Donate” button. It’s a ukn’ scam that uses people’s anger on racial issues to fundraise for Democrat. I would rather cut my dong off then kneel to that scumbag "organization.” BLM can suck my BLD!

Maybe BLM could use their millions to help their black lives that matter so much instead of donating those millions to white politicians instead. Just now, binkybink77 said: Not sure, but electing Democrats certainly has done nothing to help Amen, Sister!

It’s hard to say considering that many major cities with these issues have had Dumbocrat mayors for decades now. Maybe if a Repug got a chance In office we’d know the answer to that question.

Give less incentive to claim to be under the poverty line could help. I know a bunch of people white/black/Hispanic that work under the table so they can claim welfare, food stamps, and public housing. I know one guy that will work less hours after a raise just so his rent doesn’t go up because it’s based on how much he earns. Meanwhile he has another job under the table making decent money.

You do realize that’s illegal right? If you know people breaking the law you can turn them in. There’s welfare fraud hotlines and other ways to report it.
