A primary school teacher who accused colleagues of 'blackophobia' after they complained they were too scared to use the word 'black' around her for fear of being called racist has won a discrimination claim. Andrea Mairs was let go from her job of 20 years at Kings Road Primary School in Stretford, Manchester, in 2022 after six of her fellow staff claimed her 'relentless complaining' about racial issues in the classroom left them feeling 'intimidated', an employment tribunal heard. In one instance, Miss Mairs objected to a visiting magician referring to pupils as 'little monkeys' - which resulted in any...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr argued Wednesday that Colorado’s ruling disqualifying former President Trump from the state’s ballot will be “counterproductive,” as he is a person who “feeds on grievances” and will use the decision to reinforce his narrative. Asked on CNN for his initial reaction to the ruling, Barr said: “I think this kind of action of stretching the law, taking these hyperaggressive positions to try to knock Trump out of the race are counterproductive. They backfire.” “As you know, he feeds on grievance, just like a fire feeds on oxygen. And this is going to end up...

Trump Rally California Live!

A third suspect was arrested on Saturday in connection with the 'gang related' murders of three teenagers which shook Florida last week. Police vowed to find Tahj Brewton, 16, after his suspected accomplices Christopher Atkins, 12, and Robert Robinson, 17, were arrested on Friday in connection with the slayings outside Ocklawaha. The US Marshals teamed up with the Lake County Sheriff's Office to help capture Brewton after Layla Silvernail, 16, Camille Quarles, 16, and an unidentified 17-year-old boy were found shot dead and discovered over three days dumped in separate places within a 5-mile radius. Brewton was arrested on several...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said he is “tired” of hearing former President Trump’s grievances in his latest media appearance this week. “I think that no leader who is backward looking is a leader who can be victorious,” Christie said on “The Hugh Hewitt” show on Thursday when asked about Trump. “And I’m tired of hearing about his grievances.” Christie, once a friend and former ally to Trump, has kicked his attacks against the former president into high gear this week as he considers a potential bid for the White House. He also said during the Thursday appearance...

"Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay in Louisville, Ky., on Jan. 17, 1942, grandson of a slave, began boxing at the age of 12, and, by 18, had fought 108 amateur bouts." In the very first sentence on Ali's life in her essay, "The Cruelest Sport," noted author Joyce Carol Oates shares with the reader one observation beyond the superficial: Ali was born the "grandson of a slave." Oates apparently sees this as the defining fact of Ali's existence. More influential than Oates or anyone else in interpreting Ali to the world was sportscaster Howard Cosell. In his 1973 book,...

The disclosure that a song making fun of Michael Brown—the young man shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson last August—was played at a party at an Elks Lodge in Glendale California has inspired the Los Angeles Police Department to open an investigation. “Michael Brown has become an icon of the Black Community,” LAPD information officer Jesus Santos asserted. “Many see him as a martyr who died defending the rights of their race. White people have no right to mock him. We need to find out who is behind this song and bring him or her to justice.” Santos speculated...

Of the hundreds of panels available at Comic-Con, which drew to a close on Sunday, none are more respected than the long-running Black Panel, hosted by the comic book creator and Milestone Media co-founder Michael Davis. Unlike most of the other panels at Comic-Con, the Black Panel has nothing to sell, and features guests who also have nothing to promote. Instead, it is a discussion between audience and panel members about black culture, a way for prominent figures in African American entertainment to reach out to those who hope to emulate their paths to success. Davis started the panel in...

Why Iggy Azalea’s music is so popular and problematic.hen asked about Forbes’ claim that hip-hop is run by a white, blond, Australian rapper named Iggy Azalea, incumbent queen bee Nicki Minaj laughed hysterically. The financial magazine may be qualified to calculate the $250 million valuation of Nicki’s Myx Fusions Moscato wine coolers, Nicki reasoned, but only the hip-hop community can bequeath the throne to Iggy. One week later, Iggy Azalea became the only artist since the 1964 Beatles to have her first two singles occupy the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the fourth female emcee to hit...

Why we went to war against King George and why we need to IMPEACH Obama

REM: This is from Chicagonow, and is just one more example of 'urban culture' that makes me shake my head in disgust. -------------- " ... to celebrate this special time of the year, here are 10 things that my White friends better not discuss with anybody, AT ALL, during the month of February:"

The United States today has slipped toward race-based socialism: That's the true name for an overwhelming bias for one race above others, in employment, promotion, and educational opportunities. Our media are constantly stirring the witch's brew of racial grievances, constantly making black people feel aggrieved and white people feel accused. Our schools drive that lesson home with young and innocent kids in a totally ruthless way. Repeat that for twelve years of schooling and TV, and you have a brainwashed kid.

There is an ugliness in America, never before seen, and I am not talking about Pelosi’s botox or Biden’s hair plugs, I am talking about the manner in which our government is treating its citizens. B. Hussein Obama demands a takeover of the health care industry and despite wide public outcry against it, Pelosi and Dingy Harry push for obamacare. Why? Because the bill does away with our rights and abolishes private insurance. Effective in 2013, after the next presidential election, private insurance policies are illegal. States can “opt-out” of obamacare, but they will still have to pay for it,...

Below is a preview of The American Writ of Grievances. It is the first of a set of documents currently being written, and the start of a process we've undertaken here at UniteOrDie.org to step outside of the rhetorical debate and work for actual reform and resolution of grievances. In the coming months we will work towards the goal of writing and introducing actionable legislation. If you're ready to rise above the fray and appeal to the sensibilities of an emerging post-partisan America, we invite you to join and be a part of this process. The American Writ of Grievances...

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over...

WASHINGTON — The Texas Department of Transportation, long viewed as hyperpartisan and arrogant by some members of the state's congressional delegation, has been trying to soften its image by reaching out to lawmakers of both parties in the nation's capital. But while state transportation officials are having some success in easing the personal animus, they still face a stiff challenge in selling their policy agenda to the state's elected officials in Washington. Many Texans on the Potomac cringe at the agency's embrace of toll roads, the controversies surrounding the Trans-Texas Corridor and TxDOT's resistance to many of the highway earmarks...

Blacks object to cows roaming near tribute to former slave By Olivia Munoz ASSOCIATED PRESS December 21, 2006 ALLENSWORTH – Basque immigrant Sam Etchegaray had two seemingly perfect swaths for two large dairies: 2,000 rural acres of dusty fields in the Central Valley where thousands of cows would be at home in the No. 1 milk-producing county in the nation. The only problem is the pastures were next to a state park that pays tribute to a freed slave who founded the community, raising the ire of environmentalists and blacks who objected to the pollution and stench that would come...

Former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith took her 11-year-old family feud to the Supreme Court yesterday. But another case about sex and deception that the Court decided yesterday will surely matter more to most Americans. We're talking about the 8-0 decision (new Justice Samuel Alito didn't participate) barring the use of federal extortion and racketeering laws, or RICO statutes, to prevent public antiabortion protests. The case of Scheidler v. NOW goes back nearly 20 years, to a suit by the National Organization for Women to harass abortion opponents who demonstrate in front of abortion clinics. RICO was designed to go...

Concord — A New Hampshire commission established to help Killington secede from Vermont and join New Hampshire didn’t have much to discuss at its first meeting yesterday. That’s because Vermont hasn’t established a similar commission to work out the details, and strongly opposes secession. Regardless, commission Chairman John Hunt insists the New Hampshire panel’s existence sends a clear message to Vermont — or any other state — that citizens have a right to seek other alliances if their complaints aren’t addressed. “They (Vermont officials) might see this as a joke. I don’t,” said Hunt.
