“So pathetic that there is a trial to prove that Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd when there is video of him doing so,” Handler wrote on Twitter.

Sports viewers shift habits as social justice messaging increases: poll
One-third of Americans say they are watching less professional sports due to social justice messaging from players, leagues and teams, according to a new poll released this week.
A YouGov/Yahoo News survey found that 34 percent of respondents said they are watching pro sports less frequently due to calls for racial justice from sports figures, with 11 percent saying they now watch more often.
A majority, more than 56 percent, said they are watching about the same amount of pro sports as they were before calls for racial justice were renewed.
The pandemic schedule interruptions also play a role in breaking what for many was mere habit. A lot of these ex-viewers will have discovered they had better things to do all along.

Everything is getting real stupid real fast.
I could leave it at that and go ice-fishing for the rest of the day. But I suppose I ought to flesh it out a bit. From a contributor to The New York Times and Esquire, Damon Young:
Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people—white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.

Writing music down like Mozart did is ‘white hegemony’, proposed reform of Oxford’s curriculum reportedly claims
Teaching music at Oxford may soon be less about writing notation and conducting orchestras, and more about which artists hated Donald Trump’s use of their works without permission, proposed reform reportedly suggests.
One of the most prestigious universities in the UK plans to overhaul its music courses for undergraduates to steer them away from elements of ‘colonialism’ and ‘white supremacy’, the Telegraph reported, citing internal documents. The supposedly problematic parts of the curriculum include the study of musical notation, described as a “colonialist representational system.”

CBC So Woke: Afraid to publish book title “White Niggers of America” by Pierre Vallières central to piece on “racism”
White teacher interrupts anti-racism talk to argue, swear at Black presenter in front of students
…On Thursday, Newton had reached the part of his workshop that dealt with a book by author Pierre Vallières, the title of which contains the N-word. Vallières was a leader within the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who committed acts of terror.
Vallières’ book drew parallels between the plight of French-speaking Quebecers and the civil rights struggle of African Americans.
According to Newton, he started explaining to students that the parallel was not a fair and valid one, and that’s when he says the white teacher cut him off and began to argue.
The CBC is a culture of woke self flagellants which they attempt to force on tax payers.

Weaponizing Race and Gender
Perhaps the most frightening thing happening in America is the weaponizing of race and gender. We need to be wary, because this is a war for power. This is a war to deny American citizens our Constitutional rights and to create a totalitarian society controlled by the woke left.
We must not allow this to happen, or it will mean the defeat of all the principles and all the freedoms that this country was built upon. The latest battle in this war is the media coverage of, and the Democrat talking points about, the horrific recent shootings in Atlanta. But I believe the war started years ago.

With Children Fully Indoctrinated, Schools Have A New Target: Parents
It’s no longer a surprise to hear about public schools using their access to impressionable children to push divisive ideas about politics and race. But now it has escalated to a new level: using their taxpayer-funded budgets to shape the views of adults who live nearby.

De Blasio’s Thuggish Plan Would Have Cops Pounding on Doors of Suspected Racists
Crime is up dramatically in New York City. The New York Police Department is spread thin because of retirements, leaving the officer’s union to say that the anti-cop sentiment among officials in city hall had left the “NPYD broken, almost beyond repair.”
So naturally, what Mayor Bill de Blasio thinks the NYPD should be doing is knocking on people’s doors if they’re suspected of saying something hateful.
