Kanye West Says Planned Parenthood Was Arranged By ‘White Supremacists To Do The Devil’s Work’
Race, Welfare, and Media Lies - "When you talk to leftists about race, it doesn’t take long for them to bring up some variation of “most people on welfare are white.” As we’ll see, this is simply not true. And you don’t even have to delve into the grade-school concept of per capita welfare rates to explain this. In absolute terms, whites are a minority of users. But this doesn’t stop lefties from making claims like this... Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is what most people think of when they say “welfare.” It pays cash directly to users. The amount varies by state. In 2018 (the most recent data available), there were over 2.27 million recipients, who got nearly $17 billion. Here’s the racial breakdown... Whites are clearly an absolute minority of recipients: just 27.2 percent of the total. There are more blacks and Hispanics on welfare than whites. On a per capita basis, blacks are 4.8 times more likely than whites to get TANF, and Hispanics are 4.7 times more likely. Asians are only two-thirds as likely. Interestingly, over 85 percent of TANF recipients are single or divorced, and only 13 percent are married. Conservatives have long argued that marriage reduces poverty... whites are an absolute minority of food stamp users... Poor whites do use welfare. But contrary to what the media say, they use it at low rates. There is some evidence whites are more likely to be too proud to take handouts. The Washington Post cites a Mississippi study that found poor whites were twice as likely as poor blacks to forego benefits. It is not inconceivable that at some point there could be affirmative-action welfare, or different, more stringent criteria for whites... fewer whites means fewer taxpayers, while a burgeoning black and Hispanic population means more welfare consumers. When the shrinking white middle class complains it is overtaxed, non-white politicians will call their complaints “racist.” The overclass may leave the US or hide its money as they do in the Third World."

After YouTuber Casey Neistat Falls Victim To Car Break-In, Seth Rogen Dismisses Concerns Over LA Crime: “I’ve Never Really Felt Violated Any Of The 15 Or So Times My Car Was Broken Into” - "According to actor Seth Rogen, YouTuber Casey Neistat’s recent criticisms of and frustrations with the crime rate in Los Angeles – made after his car was subject to a criminal break-in – are completely unfounded, based on the grounds that the Invincible voice actor never personally “felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken into.”... Taking it upon himself to defend LA’s reputation, Rogen soon pushed back against Neistat’s justifiably angry assertions, saying of the city that’s seen a 49% percent increase in homicides alone since 2019, “Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha. It’s lovely here.” “Don’t leave anything valuable in it,” Rogen added, simultaneously excusing the thief’s behavior and blaming Neistat for his own victimization. “It’s called living in a big city.” When asked by Neistat if he could “still be mad tho right?” because he felt “so violated” by the experience, the multimillionaire celebrity condescendingly dismissed the YouTuber’s safety concerns and sense of vulnerability, telling him, “You can be mad but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself and I’ve never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken into.” “Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat,” he bizarrely joked."
Democrats Boast That Their Donors’ Most Common Profession Is Teacher - " An Education Week survey in 2017 found that 27% of teachers identify as Republicans, compared to 41% as Democrats and 30% as Independents. The National Education Association reported spending $48 million in the 2020 election cycle, nearly 94% of which went to Democrats. Direct donations reported by unions only represent a small portion of unions’ political spending, according to a 2012 investigation by The Wall Street Journal. Teachers unions also played a major role in influencing government institutions to keep schools closed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to reportedly pressured the CDC to implement stricter mask guidance for schools after it announced Americans did not need to wear masks indoors."

Charity apologises for asking supporters to donate $14.92 because the number is offensive - "A women’s charity asked supporters to donate $14.92 in an email - and it quickly received flak due to the offensive connotations of the number. The organization, which developed out of the 2017 march and now conducts the yearly event, sent out an email with the subject line “$14.92.” “We have an important favor to ask,” the email read. Subscribers on the email list were then asked if they’d like to donate the $14.92... Former George W. Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer tweeted, “‘Let’s all chip in and raise the amount to $17.76. Then they’ll really lose their minds.” “They don’t want your $$ (because they hate America SOOOO much), but please feel free to contribute $14.92 to our campaign! Or $17.76.Or $20.24. Happy Thanksgiving!” wrote Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On the other hand, the organisation Indigenous Women Rising wrote that “this is not a good look at all.” “This proves that Indigenous people are inherently not even thought of in this movement. We are yet again another afterthought and IT IS F****** HURTFUL.”"

Philip E. Tetlock on Twitter - "Andrew Yang’s use of Asian stereotypes is reinforcing toxic tropes. His one-liners about “math” and “doctors” ultimately send a troubling message."
"Culturally, Asians strongly encourage their kids to pursue academic areas & career paths (e.g. math, medicine). They believe that effort plays a key role in determining a child's level of achievement. Beliefs lead to outcomes. What's so 'troubling' about @AndrewYang 's rhetoric?"
"People who protest “toxic tropes” care more about identity-damage/hurt-feelings Those who violate toxic-trope taboos care more about statistical accuracy. That's why there are "forbidden base rates" & why some love the forbidden fruit"
Is it racist to rap along to the Notorious BIG? - "Do you like hip-hop? If so, you’d better be careful, because rapping along to songs can now get you into trouble. A student is being punished by his college for using the n-word when rapping along to the Notorious BIG. The first-year student at Christ Church College, Oxford was reported for racial harassment by a fellow student... Listening to rap would be a deeply painful and challenging experience if it carried the same weight in this context. Why isn’t that obvious to the college authorities? Similarly, students at Durham University were ‘reprimanded’ in 2018 for a karaoke performance of the Kanye West song ‘Gold Digger’. But perhaps the students got off lightly. In Britain, where police are forever on the prowl for offensive language, an autistic teenager was arrested and even convincted of a hate crime for posting lyrics containing the n-word on her Instagram account. Thankfully, the conviction was later overturned by an incredulous judge."
Escape The Echo Chamber - Posts | Facebook - "A follow up to a story last month from Minnesota.

There is no evidence that the school is punishing the girl for creating a national news story."

University of Michigan-Dearborn apologizes for segregated 'virtual cafes' meant to spur discussion about race - "University of Michigan-Dearborn Chancellor Domenico Grasso apologized on Wednesday after the university's Center for Social Justice and Inclusion hosted two segregated virtual conversations about race and society, with one of them meant for "Non-POC."... One virtual cafe was meant for people of color to gather and discuss their experiences, while the other was meant for "non people of color." The latter received backlash, as many criticized the idea of hosting a space for only White people to discuss race without the presence of any people of color."

The Singapore Grip: ITV drama called 'harmful' and 'deeply upsetting' - "A new ITV drama set in Singapore during World War Two has been called "harmful" and "upsetting" by an advocacy group for British East and South East Asians. Beats called The Singapore Grip "a kick in the teeth" to those it represents. Based on JG Farrell's 1978 novel, the six-part drama follows a family of wealthy Britons living in Singapore. In response, its writer said it was actually "an attack on colonialism" and showed "the corrupt practices and casual racism of the ruling elite". Screenwriter Sir Christopher Hampton said "any fair-minded viewer" would "easily understand" this. The trilogy of books to which The Singapore Grip belongs is "perhaps the most celebrated attack on colonialism by a British novelist in the 20th Century"... The promo prompted widespread criticism on social media, with one commentator calling it "colonial history told through a white gaze" and another dismissing it as "a rose tinted soap"... "Every time we see the sole East Asian female character and every time we go into what feels like an Asian setting, we get these kind of keening erhus and guqins and flutes," he continued, referring to Chinese musical instruments. In his statement, Sir Christopher described the character in question - "mysterious Chinese refugee" Vera Chiang - as "the most sympathetic and resourceful of the central characters". It is she, he went on, who educates Treadaway's Matthew Webb "to the corrupt practices and casual racism of the ruling British elite"."

"We have had a lot of letters saying it is time to get rid of Rule Britannia and I must admit that I am not completely comfortable with playing it"... "Rule Britannia does seem a little militaristic, and though it's wonderful to celebrate who you are and have faith in your country, I don't think we should exclude others.""

Rule Britannia was 'opposition anthem', says Oxford historian - "Rule Britannia may have been written as a song of opposition to King George II, rather than a patriotic anthem, according to an Oxford historian. Oliver Cox unearthed letters believed to be written by audience members of its first performance in 1740. They suggest the song, performed each year at the Last Night of the Proms, reinforced beliefs of politicians who supported the Prince of Wales. Mr Cox described it as a "very potent attack on the king"."
The Rule, Britannia! row is too important for anti-racists to ignore - "Over the past few days I’ve found myself feeling at odds with writers on the left that I normally agree with. Ever since the Sunday Times reported that the BBC was discussing ditching Rule, Britannia! at this year’s Proms, these voices have been almost united. They’ve treated this as a non-story – a confection by the Murdoch press – and pointed out that no one has been demanding the banning of this song, so we should move on and talk about the things that really matter. Faced with a rightwing backlash, the BBC first said it would be played but not sung due to Covid restrictions, with the words reinstated next year; and today, under its new director general, Tim Davie, (a former Conservative organiser), it has completely U-turned and announced that the words will be sung this year after all... Organisations and institutions everywhere are now, rightly, looking at themselves and reassessing their practices and cultural icons – whether or not they’re on the Black Lives Matter to-do list... anyone who believes in race equality should welcome the corporations’s move, and the chance to have a discussion – rather than abandoning the BBC to the rightwing jackals in the media and losing the chance to end this annual supremacist indulgence once and for all."

Student seen throwing away 2,977 American flags for 9/11 - "A Washington University student was caught on camera tossing thousands of American flags commemorating the lives lost in the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the garbage — calling the display a “political prop upholding American hegemony.” Fadel Alkilani was seen stuffing blue garbage bags with the flags Saturday on the campus in St. Louis, Missouri, before he’s confronted by another student who is filming him... “[Alkilani] said that [the display] was in violation of school rules. He was also saying profanity”... Alkilani, vice president of finance of the university’s Student Union, defended his actions, saying his protest was to bring attention to the rise of Islamophobia and criticize US military intervention in the Middle East. “Any memorial of 9/11 that does not contend with these facts is not only incomplete, but it also amplifies pro-imperialist sentiment and actively disrespects those who have died because of American Invasion,” he said in a statement... He added that the 9/11 victims “deserve better than to be used as a political tool by those who seek to excuse American imperialism and Islamophobia."
Jemele Hill tweets that new book shows US as bad as Nazi Germany - "Controversial liberal journalist Jemele Hill caused waves of shock on Twitter Sunday when she tweeted that America is just as bad as Nazi Germany. She tweeted: “Been reading Isabel Wilkerson’s new book, ‘Caste,’ and if you were of the opinion that the United States wasn’t nearly as bad as Nazi Germany, how wrong you are. Can’t encourage you enough to read this masterpiece.”... Former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind said: “REMINDER for @jemelehill about just a FEW of the differences between AMERICA and NAZI GERMANY!” Earlier this month, Oprah Winfrey announced she had chosen Isabel Wilkerson’s exploration of race and hierarchy in the U.S., “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,” as her latest book club pick... Hill, now a writer for The Atlantic and a podcast host, famously called President Trump a “white supremacist” on Twitter in 2017. She was an ESPN host at the time. ESPN initially declined to punish Hill but then sidelined her for two weeks in October 2017 after she violated the company’s social media guidelines again... Last year, Hill deleted a tweet that jokingly referenced the assassination of the president during his State of the Union address."

Facebook - ""Singapore is treating our foreign workers badly!
SG govt is doing a terrible job in managing foreign workers!
We are not treating foreign workers right! They shed their blood and sweat for our nation-building!
It's inhumane to house so many workers in a small place!
How can the govt not be providing enough food for workers under quarantine?"
These are some of the harsh headlines and comments about how employers and government is treating foreign workers in Singapore. Are they true? I share my opinions here, and debunk the myths and explain some of the half-truths from my viewpoint and direct experience. Unfortunately, a lot of these falsehoods and deliberate harsh comments are politicized to attack the authorities and employers to make a molehill by manipulating the workers.
๐๐๐๐;
1. Reports on poor living condition in quarantined dormitories are likely to be temporary lapses due to sudden lockdown instructions but have since stabilized
2. Photos of poor condition and portion of food given to workers are proven to be fake, and MOM has since shared sample photos of actual food provided. Fake news are propagated and politicized by people with other agendas, including anti-government
3. It is unfortunate that the government is unable to cater for 20k indian and bangladeshi food. In Singapore, most official catered food are "Chinese style food" but we pay attention to whether it's halal, non-halal, vegetarian. Hopefully authorities are able to find another bangladeshi/indian food caterer with excess capacity to cook for 20k pax - not easy.
4. Previous claims of foreign workers provided with lousy food is half truth. They pay very little ($1.33 per meal) for catered food, and while there are better external catering options available, most workers rather eat poorly but save more for their family. I've provided some sample photos of their acceptable food, which is part of their culture and norms. Not very far off in variety and portion, it's more of countering the problem on maintaining the taste and freshness of food when caterer has to cook for 10-15k pax per meal.
5. Food - if you think 1 veg + 1 meat + rice and gravy from Chye Png / Nasi Padang is adequate, the workers have it too and maybe 3 times more rice.
6. Accommodation - details of personal space and facilities is strictly regulated by MOM. If you think army bunk is acceptable, approved dormitories meet the requirements too.
7. The real problems that foreign workers are facing is the attitude from Singaporeans. People shun them, speak rudely to them, judge their culture, complains about their eating/resting behavior, complains when their dormitories are too close to hdb, complain when a bus has too many foreign workers on Sundays, Grab drivers speed off and cancel the bookings when they know they are picking up foreign workers...
8. Yet, some Singaporeans trying to stand on higher moral grounds claiming these foreigner workers deserve better
9. My suggestion: let's not start with food and accomodation. Let's start with our day to day attitude towards them. Else, we're just hypocrites...
i'm Aloysius and i run an interior design and renovation contracting firm, or classified as a Construction Firm by MOM. Including workers from various nationality, we employ about 40-50 workers. I also work with a large number of foreign workers from partners, sub-contractors, main contractors, supply labour firms, etc...
people like Jolovan Wham and Kirsten Han who are regular critics of the government, including getting themselves in trouble with law over previous incidents of spreading deliberate falsehoods, continue to spread fake news. Attached is the post shared by Jolovan, also by Kirsten (they may not be original authors), alleging that the workers are provided with terrible food at one of the dormitory. It is however, later proven that the photos they've used are from elsewhere and the workers are provided with food that doesn't look like that at all. In fact, MOM has included a set of photos in the press release of the sample of food provided to the workers... these workers typically earn a basic salary of $18 to $40 per day, before overtime and allowances. Before you complain with disgust how lowly they are paid, consider for yourself if you're willing to pay more for your roads, town management, BTO flats, renovations... Workers earning lower salary will have no choice but to pay for the cheapest catering. You expect some better paid workers ordering from external caterers, but many of them will still choose to pay for the cheapest caterer so that they can send more money back. My opinion: You can kill those $120 caterers, but that'll mean the youngest and lowest paid workers will not be able to afford their basic 3 meals. You'll also be forcing others to spend more on their food, when you're actually depriving them from the chance to decide whether to eat better themselves or for their families back home to lead a better life...
Trust me, my workers are all very happy with 1 dish meal. They are happy enough to have 1 properly cooked and tasting veg on Monday, then just mutton meat and curry on Tuesday, Fish curry with onion/tomato/radish on Wednesday, etc. Don't project your own expectations on food quality onto them, it's difference. To them, it's really not just about the variety. We do enjoy our 1-dish meals too isn't it?...
or regular dormitories, it's just bunk beds. Typically 10-12 pax per room, with general ventilation by fan and each person has his own locker. Some properties may have bigger rooms, so they house 15-20 pax per room instead. The area of space per pax is controlled and guided by MOM. Not worse off than SAF bunks. Don't complain, cos you will not be willing to pay more for their services so that they can sleep in individual rooms."
The liberal solution is to pay foreign workers a lot more, so a lot fewer of them get jobs, and then when prices go up blame greedy companies for over-charging
