Of course. We always lose.
What’s AP or ap? Let them mess themselves up. We don’t need them. They are showing their true colors or as the saying goes.
This Country has officially jumped the shark.
Bait. Ignore the lefttards.
systemic racism = affirmative action
fine....I’ll be saying “ap” reports...etc.
People laughed at me back in the early 90’s when I said “Civil Unions” would lead to gay marriage, then Transsexual acceptance, and eventually pedophilia as a lifestyle. They also laughed when I told them the being white would eventually be the equivalent of being a criminal.
What ever happened to UPI?
What about Asian, Hispanic, Arabic?
Something tells me there will only be racism toward “whites”. Which fits because it isn’t about equality, it’s about revenge.
I capitalize the word Negro because the spell checker in my browser gives me a little red squiggly line under the word negro. I also like to make it prominent in my posts which are nearly 100% of the time negative about Negroes and their supporters. Lastly, Negroes keep changing the rules on me. Through out my life the following terms were used: Negro, colored, black, African-American, black-American, and of course the one that only they can say. By the way, I’m being nice by using Negro, it’s a lot better than stupid $hit.
“and don’t have the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.”
Tell that to the Irish, Italians and Poles...
But instead of picking at old wounds how about we move towards a color blind society?
But then a certain political party couldn’t gain any power by doing so.
“Irish need not apply”.....does that ring a bell Associatedpiss
You might be interested in this, from old-new-Orleans.com:
“In 1830, American businessmen in New Orleans decided to build a shipping channel from Lake Pontchartrain to the American sector of the city to compete with the established
Carondelet Canal in the French section. Construction of the New Basin Canal began in 1832 with a work force consisting almost entirely of Irish immigrants. (Newly arrived and desperate for jobs, these were the men who would work for the least amount of pay.)
The work was back-breaking, the hours long and, because of the canal’s path through the swamp, yellow fever, cholera, malaria and other diseases were rampant among the laborers. The pay was one dollar a day. By the time the canal was finished six years later, between 8,000 - 20,000 Irish immigrants had died in the effort. (The exact figure will never be known because no records were kept, but some have estimated the toll may have been as high as 30,000.)
The men worked when they were sick, fearing the loss of the job if they missed a day. For this reason, many of the deaths occurred at the work site. They fell where they worked and, usually, the bodies were left there - just pushed to the side and buried in the canal’s levee
or in the roadway fill next to it. No family member to whisper goodbyes, no priests to offer prayers and no marker to indicate that a life had ever been lived.
The canal was a success for the business interests who invested in it. It was used until the 1940’s, when shipping methods had changed and it was no longer needed. It was filled in and now serves as the neutral ground between Pontchartrain and West End Boulevards.
In 1990, a memorial in the form of a Celtic cross was dedicated to the memory of the workers. The Irish Ambassador to the U.S. attended the ceremony. The cross stands at the end of West End Boulevard, a memorial to the thousands of men who perished in the 1830’s.
It reads: ‘In memory of the Irish immigrants who dug the New Basin Canal, 1832-1838, this Celtic cross carved in Ireland has been erected by the Irish Cultural Society of New Orleans.’”
The reason Irish were used was because it was concluded that blacks were too valuable.
Anyway, just thought you’d be interested in this bit of history.
I can remember when the AP was actually respected; when they reported rather than provoked..
Thanks ap for your public service.
So, you have not been threatened with amputations of fingers -
Specifically those used for “N”, “E”, “G”, “R”, “O”?
= =
Soon the only fingers remaining will be the ‘middle fingers’.
“We agree That white People’s skin Color plays Into systemic Inequalities and Injustices, and We want Our journalism To robustly Explore these Problems,” John daniszewski, the AP’s Vice president For standards, Said in A memo To staff Monday. “but capitalizing The term White, as Is done By white Supremacists, risks Subtly conveying Legitimacy to Such beliefs.”
They’re right. Random capitalization is fun and adds to the readability of their gibberish.
Well it is a brand like it or not.
Rubbing it in only makes it more worseer.
Reverse racism, Why am I not surprised?
