...we is just an affinity group.
An Illinois high school principal is defending his decision to exclude white students from a “Black Lives Matter” event held at his school.
On February 27th, Oak Park and River Forest High School principal, Nathaniel Rouse, hosted a “Black Lives Matter” event exclusively for black students. The assembly was intended to culminate Black History Month with a discussion on race relations. Approximately 350 black individuals attended the event. When white students attempted to attend the assembly, however, they were denied entry.
Rouse defended his decision to keep non-black students from the assembly by referring to the concept of “affinity groups.” According to the school’s statement, “Racial affinity groups are often used in learning communities to help facilitate positive identity exploration and provide people with similar experiences a space in which to pose questions and process topics.”
Affinity groups. I'll have to remember that one.
The principal, though, has a small point; ever since Ferguson, the "Black Lives Matter" movement, and especially the protests, has been co-opted by white leftists trying to earn street cred by marching with the brothers. (then, of course, they return to their exclusive white neighborhoods and do very white things)

He Regrets Forming the Thought Police
"We were wrong to try to ban racism out of existence, says former equality chief."
A former equality chief has branded his years working to stamp out racial discrimination as 'utterly wrong'.
Writer and broadcaster Trevor Phillips said efforts made under the Blair government turned anti-racism into an 'ugly new doctrine'.
Mr Phillips is the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and has waged a 30-year campaign to tackle issues around discrimination and equality.
In an upcoming Channel 4 documentary, called Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True, he says attempts to stop prejudice instead encouraged abuse and endangered lives as well as contributed to the rise of parties like Ukip.
'Campaigners like me seriously believed that if we could prevent people expressing prejudiced ideas then eventually they would stop thinking them.
'But now I'm convinced we were utterly wrong.'
Mr Phillips, a Labour party member, says anti-racism began with good intentions but turned into 'thought control'.
Click the link to read the whole thing. I'm reminded of a famous passage from Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn: Huck, told he'll go to Hell for helping Jim flee slavery, says "All right then, I'll GO to Hell." If you put a man's (or a boy's) back up with constant accusations, very often they'll accept the accusation and wear it proudly out of spite.
This present regret by the developer of UK's Though Police comes because the common people of UK, fed up with having accusations of racism hurled at them constantly, have been leaving the Labour and Conservative parties to join UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party), which is the only party that seems to care about what commoners really think about immigration and political correctness.

Look Up "Smug Bastard" In the Dictionary...
...and you'll see a picture of this guy:
A Nigerian woman filed for divorce from her husband because his penis was too big, according to media reports.
Aisha Dannupawa, a housewife and mother-of-three, asked for her marriage to husband Ali Maizinari to be dissolved due to his large manhood.
After their first unsuccessful attempt at making love, she took medication given to her by her mother.
'I told my mother the experience but she told me to endure and that with time, I will be able to cope. She then gave me some drugs,' she said to Nigerian media.
According to Dannupawa, the couple had sex again but it was 'too much to bear' and the couple concluded that no drug could help their sex life or their marriage.
Maizinari did not deny the accusation and told the court he was willing to dissolve the union if his dowry and money spent during the courtship was paid back.
He just has to find the right woman:

As For Me, I Go and Wash My Hands
"After You Shake Someone’s Hand, See If They Do This Afterward."
A handshake can be used to interpret a lot about a person, but there might be even more of an exchange of information going on than you realize, according to a recent study.
The next time you shake someone’s hand, see if they reach up and touch their face at some point shortly afterward. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel found that some people are unconsciously sniffing subtle chemicals from the other person’s hand.
I occasionally get a guest at the hotel that wants to shake my hand, and it always seems to be the grungiest, nastiest individuals that do it. I'll usually finish the check-in/checkout process, then go to the restroom to wash my hands.
Even worse, though, is one of those individuals that pulls an ancient, smelly wallet out of his back pocket, licks his fingers, and then counts off the cash to pay for the room, rather than present a credit card. One of these days I'm going to snap and either hold out a tray for him to place the money on, or don housekeeper's gloves to receive it. Disgusting!

Funny, But Unethical
And the painting should be replaced, or the "shadow" painted over.
A cursory glance at the official painting of President Bill Clinton that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery would easily miss an ode to the lowest point of his presidency — Monica Lewinsky.
But it’s there, the artist revealed in an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News. Philadelphia area painter Nelson Shanks cunningly included a shadow over the fireplace cast from a blue dress on a mannequin.
"If you look at the left-hand side of it there’s a mantle in the Oval Office and I put a shadow coming into the painting and it does two things. It actually literally represents a shadow from a blue dress that I had on a mannequin, that I had there while I was painting it, but not when he was there. It is also a bit of a metaphor in that it represents a shadow on the office he held, or on him."
That's the unethical behavior right there: if you're going to have a blue dress in the room, have it there while the former President is there posing, so he can punch you in the nose or have you fired, as you deserve. Don't go all passive-aggressive and do it behind his back, ya little pussy.

"Treasure hunt: NC authorities search for $4M in missing gold."
WILSON, N.C. - The FBI and the Wilson County Sheriff's Office said an estimated $4 million worth of gold was reported stolen during an armed robbery on Interstate 95 over the weekend.
At around 6:50 p.m. Sunday, Wilson County deputies responded to a report of an armed robbery on northbound I-95 near mile marker 114.
Authorities said two armed security guards working for Transvalue Inc. of Miami were transporting gold and silver from Miami to Massachusetts when they began to have mechanical problems.
The sheriff's office said when the security guards pulled over they were approached by three armed men in a white-colored van. The robbers ordered the victims to get down on the ground.
The robbers then tied the security guards' hands behind their back backs and made them walk into the woods, authorities said.
Authorities said the robbers took several barrels of gold worth an estimated $4 million and fled the scene.

If You Were In a Zombie Apocalypse...
...and were such a bad-ass that you once tore a man's throat out with your teeth, would you accept the position of "constable" for a post-apocalypse community and walk around the streets of the town wearing a necktie?
Well, that's what Rick Grimes was doing last night on The Walking Dead. I don't believe it was a cop's clip-on tie, either, so any walker or murderous survivor that came along could just seize Rick by his necktie and choke him to death.

Quote of the Day
Michael Z. Williamson: I love Che shirts. Capitalism produces T shirts in sweat shops in Guatemala, prints a dead Commie on them without having to pay any licensing to his family, and makes a fortune selling them to retards who wear them to protest that same capitalism.

Just Down the Road!
"Queen City Q plans to open a second location, at Plantation Market Shopping Center in Matthews, in early summer. The original opened in uptown nearly three years ago, and began selling barbecue at the Knights' ballpark last season. The new location will seat about 120, including space on a covered patio. Queen City Q smokes pork, brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage."
I think that's the spot currently used by Mario's Pizza, a long-time resident of the shopping center that is moving to a stand-alone restaurant site a few blocks away. Another nearby BBQ choice is good, hope it succeeds.

Pure Meanness
Fueled by alcohol and the resulting stupidity, a llama owned by a Union County, NC family is dead, killed by three man-children for the novelty of it.
According to Luke, the three men had been drinking and they said they just wanted to know what it was like to kill an animal.
Should have bought a hunting license, then, and shot a squirrel. Or a deer. Or gone to a slaughterhouse and had one of the workers let you help out with a pig. Now you're going to prison, because you destroyed someone else's private property in an act of cruelty.
One the three men - - Bray - - has a previous criminal record, for drugs and assault on a female. The other two aren't in the NC database.
This is where adult corporal punishment is indicated, if we still had it in the US. Give these men each a dozen lashes on their back with a whip and they'll likely not offend again, and the taxpayer doesn't have to fund the period in prison that they'd be subject to otherwise. All finished in a half hour, except for restitution, repaying the cost of the killed animal.
