I wonder if they are gonna cancel Jimmy Kimmel for using the N-word. Oh wait, Jimmy is an anti-Trump guy so he'll probably get away with it. The Cancel Culture selects who/what they want to cancel, that is, anti-liberals and Republicans.

Until conservatives and anti-leftist liberals organize and start pushing back with boycott threats and lawsuits they will continue to lose their jobs and freedom for expressing opinions that make the left uncomfortable.

I can't tell whether he's crazy or he's just punking the BLM protesters Sacha Cohen style

Bishop George Berkeley (of Berkeley California fame) personally owned slaves and created Yale's first scholarships with the profits from his Rhode Island plantation. Berkeley donated the plantation itself to Yale University, which means that Yale owned the land and the slaves that worked said land.

Shouldn't both UC-Berkeley and Yale be forced to pull down statues, rename buildings, and remove their names from the universities? And for that matter, we should demand that Berkeley change it's name to something more PC!

I think Berkeley should be required to give their Head Football coach back.

Even though BLM is a Marxist terrorist group that built a movement on lies, they nevertheless have truth on their side when they say that America treats blacks like their lives don't matter.

This is the truth if we are to face it for real. No other demographic has such a large percentage of their young men in jail or dead. This is harmful to the black community and the entire country. A hundred people shot in Chicago during father's day weekend. This is the symptom and the disease for all to see.

BLM is right. The pain real. The system has too many black men trapped in a cycle of violence and incarceration.

None of the black toddlers that are shot will receive an Al Sharpton blessed funeral with national media coverage. Those souls truly don't matter. BLM is right again.

Now we're starting to see why it doesn't matter that "Hands Up Don't Shoot" was a lie. As the old saying goes -- you can't argue with success. The underpinning emotion of the movement (that's all they're going on) is true.

Black people, and those people who truly care and wish to see improvement, should rightfully question the people in charge of the "systems" that keep black men in the cycle. All run by Democrats... often with key black Democrats controlling the levers of power. Everyone of these precincts that were closed down were run by black police chiefs. This is why the political rhetoric on the left removes racism from people (it's rightful home) and instead they apply the problem to the abstract -- a system.

Long time Democrats know that they're the real racists. Now the the radicals are using that racism against them... as they should. It's a sort of ... "give us what we want or we will expose you" approach, and as we can see, it's been wildly successful.

Life in the Army is the best Cultural Anthropology class of all . The Army is as color blind a society as there is. Well in fact the Army bends over backwards to promote / nuture Blacks in practice. We all got the same hair cuts, the same basic equipment issued, the same battery of IQ / aptitude tests [that take all day to complete], were given the same rank to begin with, the same promotion schedules and opportunities, the same food to eat, the same housing, the same medical, the same GI Bill, and the same pay. The Army I spent 5 years in was roughly 40% White, 40% Black and the rest were Latinos. There were very few Asians.
Even though we were all "Born Again" with a fresh start in life after getting sworn in and with NO CULTURAL ADVANTAGES of any sort...the Blacks led the way with those who failed to assimilate within this SOCIALIST UTOPIA because of their own stupidity / lack of impulse control. If you can't "make it" in the Army..your chances of making it anywhere else aren't very good. All you need to make it is a good attitude and dependability. No matter how much special treatment society throws your way, if it isn't in your blood to honor your oath, to earn your keep, to obey authority and to stay out of trouble, there is no amount of special treatment that SHOULD protect you from failure.

I have a brother-in-law nerdowell who's never been able to hold down a job and assimilate. That was until he went into the army, where all of sudden he excelled. After he got out, people were amazed. He was in excellent shape. He had money. A new car. Confidence... everything rolling for him. But then he rejoined society... had nobody to tell him exactly to do and when... and now he's back to exactly where he started -- no job, although he's getting a stimilus check, no prospects. Some people just don't adjust to society because they don't want to... it's not worth the effort for them, I guess.
