On Monday, the conservative internet was rife with stories about a video of a Community Education Council meeting in New York City during which a white woman, Robin Broshi, screamed that it was racist for a white man to hold his friend’s nephew, a young black child. However, there’s much more to the meeting than the way Broshi exemplifies the hysterical white women powering the BLM movement. The meeting is a microcosm of the civil war between people genuinely concerned about improving conditions for minorities, and virtue signaling leftists who are useful idiots for the Marxists.
New York’s Community Education Councils are parent advisory bodies. On June 11, a meeting revealed fissures in District 2. During the four-hour meeting, some people got offended by remarks about race and about a white man holding a black baby on his lap.
When the Council met again on June 29, the hysterical Broshi told the man who held the baby that what he did was racist:
It hurts people when they see a white man bouncing a brown baby on their lap, and they don’t know the context! That is harmful! That makes people cry!Broshi, a white Jewish Democrat, knew this because, as she said, she had educated herself by reading Ibram Kendi’s How to be an Antiracist and Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility.

Imagine being married to that harpy. What a nightmare. My sister and her husband adopted a black baby girl. We are as lily-white potato-eating Irish as you can get. I guess I’m not allowed to hold my niece in public now?
The only response to this woman that is needed: “Thanks for your concern, but I think you need professional help.”
In fact, that might be part of the problem. Too much therapy.
Wow, I didn’t know the multiple bi-racial families I used to go to church with were hurting people and making them cry. We just always thought their kids were cute same as any others.
Fricking New Yawk idiots.

No. I am a government employee who is permitted to only use the computer in my basement office. There is no search feature as the holdover obamaites still rule the roost.
"They think you're not good enough or smart enough....Well, I do !"
It would hit home with minorities and embarrass the lefties.
The smallest minority in the history of civilization is the individual.
The greatest collective in the history of civilization is the family.
The greatest danger to the individual, the family, civilization, in the history of civilization is the gang, the mob, the tribe, the horde, the party, the government.

“Civilization”...
...Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.
The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

The Demagogic Party is and has been made up of violent rival street gangs.
Pass the popcorn.
Maybe they’ll try to outlaw popcorn because it’s white.
What a warped, twisted, illogical observational conclusion. Her brain leaped into hysteria instead of easing into and using deductive reasoning and logic to explain what she is observing. There are so many valid reasons someone would be holding a child, who has a darker or lighter skin color then their own skin color. Yet this woman chose a conclusion based on hysterical irrationality over unbiased logic.
I remember when they went after Romney for holding a black child.
Judaism is quite amazing and the founding of Israel is nothing but extraordinary. But then I am a Christian looking in from the outside. It seems among Jews in the United States it is very avant garde to criticize Israel and side with antisemitic groups like BLM. BLM is pro-Hamas and overtly anti-semitic, yet young Jews pander to them, why? The ADL seems to have become so liberal it would rather attack conservative supporters then confront real anti-semitism. Socialism and Judaism do not mix. In socialism, there can be only one God and that God is the State. Maybe these woke Jews should read how being woke ended for Jews under Soviet rule. Those Jews were like them, all woke and pro-bolshevik. Then came the purges and guess who was at the head of the line? Who do they think will be the scapegoats if the economy goes south under the power hungry socialist democrats in Congress or a social democrat President. What usually follows failed socialist experiments? The far right Nationalists will be no more friendly to Jews then their predecessors the socialist. They had better hope Israel survives their self-hating.
Woke as a political term of African American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke”, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues.
By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics, socially liberal causes, feminism, LGBT activism, and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes, ironic usage and criticism from some commentators. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.
