Princess of Tap Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 20 minutes ago, mr6666 said: IHOP pulls ads from Tucker Carlson's show after immigration comments spark backlash More than a dozen companies have stopped advertising since, according to various media reports. The first company to pull the plug was Pacific Life, which ran an ad shortly after Carlson's "dirtier" comment, The Washington Post reported. Others include Bowflex, Indeed and Ancestry.com. Others, including Mitsubishi, Farmers Insurance and John Deere, have said they will not pull their ads from the show, and a Fox News spokesperson said Tuesday the yanked ads would be placed elsewhere within the network, meaning no revenue would be lost. "We cannot and will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts," Fox News wrote in a statement, blaming left-leaning advocacy groups for pressuring advertisers.... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/18/tucker-carlson-ads-boycott-immigration-ihop-1068671 Unless these companies promote racism and hatred, they never should have been an Advertiser on this show to begin with. It's not just a matter that they're trying to take The High Ground, they bloody well know that they will lose their clientele if they continue on a show that promotes such filth. Just what took them so long to see the light? Money is where their heart is. Link to post Share on other sites

It is signed “Sincerely, Donald and his Crew, specifically Mike Pence.” It also includes a “#MAGA,” referencing Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” Students at local Strath Haven High School are reportedly suspected of writing the threats and separately posing for a photo wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods, ABC 6 News reported.

In October, Right Wing News was pulled down by Facebook in a sweep of more than 559 pages that the company said were “using fake accounts… to drive traffic to their websites” or “were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate.” Days after the pulldown, Kolfage created a group called Fight4FreeSpeech, which accepts donations, and is also not referenced in the GoFundMe..... The sites often trafficked in false, inflammatory and racist content, including headlines like “Obnoxious Black People Lose Their Minds When Victoria Secret Models Say This 1 Word On Live Video” and “Trump Just Released Embarrassing Vids Of Obama’s Muslim Friends That He Never Wanted Seen.” FreedomDaily and VeteranAF frequently ran identical stories by users with different bylines. Several stories on FreedomDaily written by “Liberty Belle” also appear on “VeteranAF” under the byline “Lady Liberty.” Following Facebook’s takedown, Kolfage’s story drew considerable interest from right-wing media sites including Breitbart and WorldNetDaily. He has since appeared on Fox News to tout Fight4FreeSpeech, a group against “social media censorship.” Meanwhile, Kolfage’s new crowdfunding effort is thriving. He said if there’s another major conservative cause in the next two months, it will have to be someone else’s problem. “If there’s another big thing that comes up, somebody else is gonna have to take it....." https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/founder-viral-fundraiser-trump-s-border-wall-has-fake-news-n950636?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma The wall's GoFundMe founder is a documented conspiracy promoter and an extreme right-wing racist who has previously run afoul of Facebook.

Christ was very specific about this. Shame on all of you. With a sizable number of white American Christians: racism, bigotry and xenophobia have always trumped Christianity. When Rev Martin Luther King Jr tried to appeal to the southern Christian ministers to back his non-violent Civil Rights Movement to kill Jim Crow and treat black Americans like human beings, He did so for the record -- you might say for history -- because he knew where they already stood anyway.

mr6666 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Adults Come Under Scrutiny After HS Wrestler Told To Cut His Dreadlocks Or Forfeit "A week after a white referee told a black high school wrestler that he needed to cut off his dreadlocks or forfeit a match, the referee has been suspended. But people in town — and on social media — are asking why other adults didn't do more to prevent what happened: A school official cut the student's hair as the crowd watched and the clock ticked down..... A local sports reporter tweeted video of the incident, and outrage followed. "This is not about hair. This is about race," tweeted the ACLU of New Jersey. "How many different ways will people try to exclude Black people from public life without having to declare their bigotry? We're so sorry this happened to you, Andrew. This was discrimination, and it's not okay." Sports N.J. High School Wrestler Told To Cut His Dreadlocks Or Forfeit Match The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association said in a statement that it had suspended Maloney while the incident is investigated by the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights.... wrestler Jordon Burroughs called the incident "sickening." "I've been wrestling for 25 years, at every level, and I have never once seen a person required to cut their hair during a match," he wrote. "My opinion is that this was a combination of an abuse of power, racism, and just plain negligence. As heroic as it was for Andrew to step up in the midst of what was happening, it shouldn't have got that far. The parents and coaches of the Buena wrestling team should have intervened. This young man should have been protected in this moment...." https://www.npr.org/2018/12/27/680470933/after-h-s-wrestler-told-to-cut-his-dreadlocks-or-forfeit-adults-come-under-scrut?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=2057 Link to post Share on other sites

The alleged racial harassment happened at a DoubleTree Hotel in Portland Oregon. Reportedly others on the internet are citing problems with this particular Hotel chain which is managed by Hilton. Also what it has done on the Internet is to bring out a discussion about treatment of black people in general at hotels in America by staff. A number of people online are calling for some kind of sensitivity training for hotel staff like what Starbucks did after their unfortunate racist incident. Link to post Share on other sites
