Gad Saad on X - "Important Progressive Logic: If 48,000+ terror attacks are committed by Muslims in nearly 70 countries since 9/11 alone, do not blame any Muslims for the attacks (including the perpetrators). If a white officer kills a violent black felon during an arrest, blame all whites because white supremacy. This includes your recently-arrived Croatian white cousin who is personally responsible for American slavery in 1793."
Derek Thompson on X - "This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics.
- At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled
- At Amherst: more than 30 percent
- At Stanford: nearly 40 percent
Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability—extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations."
Mike C ๐บ๐ธ on X - "I was at a teaching and learning conference two years ago, and asked: “Will the students that get 1.5 times longer on exams be required to work 60 hours or 40 hours per week when they finally graduate and get jobs?” The answer: work 40 and do less."
Elite Colleges Have an Extra-Time-on-Tests Problem - The Atlantic - "Even if students aren’t consciously trying to gain an unfair edge, some seem to have convinced themselves that they need extra help. Will Lindstrom, the director of the Regents’ Center for Learning Disorders at the University of Georgia, told me that the fastest-growing group of students who come to him seems to be those who have done their own research and believe that a disability is the source of their academic or emotional challenges. “It’s almost like it’s part of their identity,” Lindstrom said. “By the time we see them, they’re convinced they have a neurodevelopmental disorder.”... Most of the disability advocates I spoke with are more troubled by the students who are still not getting the accommodations they need than by the risk of people exploiting the system. They argue that fraud is rare, and stress that some universities maintain stringent documentation requirements... Soon, some schools may have more students receiving accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago. Already, at one law school, 45 percent of students receive academic accommodations... The ADA was supposed to make college more equitable. Instead, accommodations have become another way for the most privileged students to press their advantage."
When Average Is Not Good Enough: Students With Learning Disabilities at Selective, Private Colleges - "Adolescents with learning disabilities disproportionately come from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds, show normative deficits in academic skills, and attend 2-year, public colleges instead of 4-year institutions. However, students with learning disabilities are well represented at the United States' most expensive and selective postsecondary institutions. We examined the psychoeducational functioning of students receiving accommodations for learning disabilities at a private, selective, liberal arts college. We also determined whether students had objective evidence supporting their disability diagnoses and academic accommodations. Most students showed above-average cognitive abilities, average academic skills, and no evidence of impairment. Although nearly all students reported academic problems, most lacked objective evidence of academic difficulties prior to college as well as relative or normative deficits in broad academic skills or fluency. Results indicate a need for greater reliance on objective, multimethod/multi-informant data in the diagnostic process. Results also highlight limitations in the current professional guidelines for documentation decision making in higher education."
We need more awareness about invisible disabilities and even less stigma, because people do not respond to incentives. This has nothing to do with victim culture and we should trust the reality of lived experience
Police watchdog upholds demotion of senior Toronto police officer Stacy Clarke in cheating scandal : r/toronto - "I'm not saying she should get off I'm saying every white copy does the same thing should be treated in the exact same manner and they clearly aren't"
"Have white cops been accused of doing the same thing with proof and didn’t get disciplined?"
"You’re asking for proof of confidential police investigations? How exactly is something that isn’t public supposed to be used as evidence, and why is that being used to make a point in the first place?"
Left wing logic: "There's no proof that white people cheat. Therefore we know that they cheat"
Police watchdog upholds demotion of senior Toronto police officer Stacy Clarke in cheating scandal : r/toronto - "That could be true, but without enough data to know if its been done by a white officer or not that is pure conjecture. I will say they were within there rights to straight up fire her, she was warned to stop doing it before she was ever punished and she ignored the warning, and she wrecked the careers of six other officers, who maybe not be so lucky as to have another chance to rebuild their careers unlike her, and ironic set back diversity in the police force. So I remain unconvinced that a white officers would have gotten a lighter punishment then that, even if simply because its a very light punishment to begin with."
"You’re basing your conclusion on a lack of evidence. Not having data doesn’t disprove racial disparity, that’s an argument from ignorance. Pointing to what happened in one case and assuming it reflects how the system treats everyone else is also a leap. One outcome doesn’t negate broader patterns, especially in policing where racial disparity is already very well documented, yet completely ignored in your argument, strange."
Ironic. The argument from ignorance is what he is using. But then in left wingers' minds, the left wing worldview is correct by default, so if you challenge left wing claims the burden of proof is on you
Thread by @SwipeWright on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "๐จThis new doctoral thesis documents the purported harms that "Black women educators" (BWEs) endure "in schools with predominantly White staff."

Free speech: Patriotic Britons 'labelled a risk to children because of their political views' - "Patriotic Britons are being "branded a risk to children because of their political views", Britain's leading free speech group has warned. Lord Young's Free Speech Union has revealed it is dealing with more than a dozen "egregious" cases of Britons being shut down for their views following a bombshell report about a "silenced" ex-Royal Marine. Iraq War veteran Jamie Michael was banned from working with children after a social media video in which he likened some migrants to "scumbags" after the Southport murders. Mr Michael, 47, from Penygraig in South Wales, was barred from coaching his own daughter's football team... That came after he was charged with inciting racial hatred for his video - before being cleared by a jury after just 17 mnutes. Despite his acquittal, the veteran was pulled aside by his local safeguarding board, which ruled he is not "suitable" to work with kids. Mr Michael, a father-of-two, was told that a "child protection concern" made against him had been "substantiated". The Football Association of Wales then stopped him coaching after a meeting with a council safeguarding officer and South Wales Police... "It's a horrible feeling to have to tell people I am banned from coaching a girls' football team. What comes to people's mind is I must be a pervert or I’ve done something violent to children." Earlier this year, Mr Michael had told GB News of how multiple police officers had tracked him down to his workplace for his social media post. "They came to see me at work," he said. "I came out to meet them and I put my camera on to film them for my own protection and I asked them what it was for, they said it was ‘nothing bad’, then told me I was under arrest."... The safeguarding board then met - and was told how the veteran was "great with children" and had never received a single complaint, according to his High Court claim. South Wales Police, however, claimed he had posted a video "inciting racial hatred" - and he was suspended from coaching a week later. Then, after his 17-minute acquittal, the board met again. Mr Michael's lawyers claim that there was "no further discussion... of the trial or the evidence heard, nor consideration of any further evidence or the fact of his acquittal". They add that the video was "not discussed" - and the father-of-two himself claims it has never been seen by the panel that banned him. He said: "I think Keir Starmer wanted to send a message to anyone who he deemed far-right. He wanted to stamp out any dissenting views and I got caught up in that."
Pantone's 2026 colour of the year is white. Some critics say the optics aren't great - "as some people are pointing out online, it's also a loaded choice given the current political climate. On social media, some are calling the choice "dystopian,"and "pretentious." Others compared it to Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad controversy, in which she made a play on the words jeans and genes, which some internet users saw as having eugenic undertones. "It’s giving 'I've got good jeans,'" someone commented on Pantone's Instagram announcement. "I can't think of a more appropriate colour than klansman white," commented another person. Pantone, for what it's worth, describes its choice as "a symbol of calming influence in a frenetic society rediscovering the value of measured consideration and quiet reflection." Others have noted that it could symbolize peace, via the white flag or the dove. The Pantone Color Institute says the colour of the year, which it calls Cloud Dancer, is "a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity." Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said in a news release that Cloud Dancer is a "discrete hue" and one that we need in a time of transformation. "The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming," Eiseman said... Some people were surprised Pantone chose white given the potential implications during a time when U.S. anti-immigration policy and border patrol have dominated headlines. Just Monday, for instance, U.S. President Donald Trump referred to Somali immigrants as "garbage." As Vanessa Friedman, the fashion director and chief fashion critic of the New York Times said in its news story today, "given the recent political discourse, when I hear 'white,' less salubrious associations also leap to my mind — ones that I doubt Pantone took into consideration but that could be twisted to pretty uncomfortable ends." "White is a loaded colour. On many levels," added Alex Vadukul, a style writer, in the Times story, which also notes that white has traditionally been used to symbolize wealth. As Vanity Fair writes, "the whole thing sounds like it was lifted from a late-night show comedy skit." "After a year plus of efforts by the Trump administration and corporations to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion programs alongside aggressive immigration crackdowns, it feels bold, and dare I say out of touch, to utter the words 'white is the colour of 2026.'""

Nigel Farage attacks BBC over racism ‘hypocrisy’ - "Nigel Farage has accused the BBC of hypocrisy after a presenter questioned his “relationship” with Adolf Hitler. During an interview on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday morning, Emma Barnett, the Today programme presenter, asked Richard Tice, the Reform deputy leader, about Mr Farage’s “relationship when he was younger with Hitler”. Mr Farage has faced allegations that he engaged in racist and anti-Semitic behaviour while he was a pupil at Dulwich College. Mr Farage has always denied making any racist remarks. Asked about the interview at a press conference in London on Thursday afternoon, the Reform leader said: “I cannot put up with the double standards of the BBC about what I’m alleged to have said 49 years ago and what you were putting out on mainstream content. “So I want an apology from the BBC for virtually everything you did throughout the 1970s and 80s.” He criticised the corporation for showing the Black and White Minstrel Show, which featured performers in blackface as late as 1978. Mr Farage also took aim at several sitcoms and characters such as Alf Garnett of Till Death Us Do Part, as well as the BBC’s broadcasting of Bernard Manning, the comedian famous for his politically incorrect humour. “You did it in It Ain’t Half Hot Mum as well,” Mr Farage said. “And what about Alf Garnett? You remember what he called Marigold on primetime national TV. I’d better not repeat the word. “Homophobia? It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, Are You Being Served? And what about Bernard Manning… telling jokes that these days you’d probably get a knock at the door from our thought police and perhaps get a 31-month prison sentence.” It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, a sitcom set in a British Army camp in Burma during the Second World War, is now never shown on the BBC because of its out-of-date attitudes to race and homophobic language. Mr Farage also read out a letter he said he had received from a former pupil at Dulwich College who said he never heard the Reform UK leader racially abuse anyone. “I was a Jewish pupil at Dulwich College at the same time and I remember him very well,” the pupil wrote. “While there was plenty of macho tongue-in-cheek schoolboy banter, it was humour, and yes, sometimes it was offensive ... but never with malice. Never heard him racially abuse anyone.” The letter went on: “If he had, he would have been reported and punished. He wasn’t. The news stories are without evidence, except for belatedly, politically dubious recollections from nearly half a century ago. “Back in the 1970s the culture was very different ... especially at Dulwich. Lots of boys said things they’d regret today or just laugh at. Whilst Nigel stood out, he was neither aggressive nor a racist.”"
John Carter on X - "The Arabs, Turks, and Indians collectively enslaved three times as many people as Europeans, their slave trades lasted three times as long, and the only reason they ended was that Europeans - in particular the British - used military power to force them to stop. Yet we get the exclusive blame for slavery. Why? Simple. We're the only ones who felt bad about slavery. Even at the height of the slave trade it was morally controversial. It never sat right with us. We're genuinely ashamed of it. No one else feels bad about it. At all. And they know this. They know that the European soul is profoundly empathetic in a way that their own petty, clannish chauvinism is not. And in that universalizing empathic conscience they smell weakness, and in weakness, opportunity. They remind us endlessly of the role we played in continuing slavery, knowing full well that we will be either too courteous, or too distracted by guilt, to point to the much larger role that they played. By pressing on that sore nerve they sustain a moral assault on our conscience that they then exploit for financial benefits: welfare parasitism, preferment in admissions and hiring, open borders. The slave societies have found a way to take their revenge for the end slavery, enslaving us with our own conscience. And they don't feel the slightest twinge of guilt about that, either."

This is the case with *everything* though - there is no progressive absolute position on any matter - it's always just "more" As Ted K described it - "the leftist's real motive is not to attain the ostensible goals of leftism; in reality he is motivated by the sense of power he gets from struggling for and then reaching a social goal [...] the leftist is motivated less by distress at society's ills than by the need to satisfy his drive for power by imposing his solutions on society" Even more, the *worse* the results, the more the struggle motivates him since he's conditioned his mind to believe that the only cause for problems is insufficient leftism"

i/o on X - "Might the Trump administration's announcement today that it's tossing the "disparate impact" doctrine open the gates for prominent people to finally start explicitly discussing scientifically robust explanations (like the race IQ gaps) for group inequalities? I doubt it because the equalitarian ethos is baked into our culture and it doesn't matter how pernicious its effects have been or how far it departs from the empirical evidence — these types of discussions are widely thought of as icky and only things that bad and unsavory people engage in. Also, if this subject were to prominently enter the "respectable" public forum, I have little doubt that the debate would be scientifically illiterate and politically motivated and the people eager to engage in it probably not terribly qualified to do so. The other thing that comes to mind is whether it's even worth having the "race and IQ" debate as long as the question of what is responsible for the gaps has not been firmly resolved. At this point, we don't know with an acceptable level of scientific certainty the degree to which "genetics" drives the group gaps."

The irony here is that the Right were the original ones who championed liberal individualism, and we were attacked for doing so. We warned you guys what was going to happen when the Left began to embrace racial identity politics, and our concerns were shouted down as the utterances of serfs who didn’t know their place in the new aristocracy of the oppressed. Our fears were not merely worthless, they were proof of our own bigotry, of the moral righteousness of the Left, and of the need to wield state power to silence and punish us. In other words, the Left created the very monster you wish to slay, and convincing them to abandon the idea that anyone gets “special dispensation under the law because of their race” is like asking an alcoholic to put the booze down and vote for prohibition."

Celina10101 on X - "Joel Davis wrote an article shortly before he was imprisoned arguing that Australia no longer operates as a genuine liberal democracy but as a kind of multicultural police state. This has been completely vindicated by the AFP’s latest speech about new “social cohesion crackdowns.” Incredibly, they openly stated that they intend to target people who haven’t committed any crime at all, only those whose ideology might be deemed criminal or a supposed “threat” to cohesion. Curiously, this sudden enthusiasm for pre-emptive policing has never extended to left-wing extremists like Antifa. Not once have we heard of a comparable strategy aimed at the groups that have actually engaged in political violence. No, it’s Australians who simply recognise that their country is being steadily eroded who are now treated as the threat."
