Lizzo is facing yet another bombshell lawsuit by one of her former employees over toxic workplace conditions. (snip) Daniels, who is black, claims in court docs that Nomura would mock both Lizzo, 35, and backup dancers on multiple occasions by doing an “offensive stereotypical impression of a black woman.” Nomura also allegedly called black women on the tour as “dumb,” “useless,” and “fat,” the lawsuit claims. In one incident, Daniels claimed in the suit that Nomura ran her foot over with a heavy rack of clothes, and pushed her into it when Daniels informed her that she was in pain....

Author Christopher F. Rufo does wonderful work explaining how the irrational and innumerate leftist radicals took over the institutions and political structure of the USA in his book, America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything.It was planned. It was executed. It was through the deliberate and calculated use of lies, fraud, hypocrisy, and coordinated rejection of truth, morality, rationality, and science. The strategy was to conquer the universities from within as a power base and then to use them to destroy culture, morality, ethics, and history, as they conquered the media, bureaucracies, and government. As a final step,...

Andrew Young has worked for XBox, DreamWorks, and other kids entertainment companies. He has seen firsthand how deliberate decisions to insert specific scenes and vocabulary take place. We talk about his experiences and why they choose to deliver these messages under a cloak. I've seen Andrew give examples from The Lego Movie, Frozen, and many others. He shows how these movies use "social engineering" as propaganda to your kids.

Deferred’ compensation not on record – anywhere U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the Georgia Democrat who’s been involved in a scandal over his church evicting residents from a government-subsidized housing complex it owns, now has another apparent ethics breach to face. The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust is insisting that the Senate Select Committee on Ethics “immediately investigate” Warnock for his $155,000 payday in 2022 from the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where he apparently still is a part-time pastor. The Washington Examiner reports the problem is that the Senate has a $30,000 limit on outside income for senators. And...

A year ago, the city of Philadelphia selected an artist to design a statue of Harriet Tubman that would stand in front of City Hall. However, the sculptor, Wesley Wofford, was unable to complete the statue. The city fired him shortly after his selection. Philadelphia fired him for being white. According to the New York Times, “incensed artists and community members argued that the city should have used a public selection process rather than awarding a commission, in part because the artist Philadelphia had selected was a white man.” The critics demanded Philadelphia find a black sculptor instead, no matter...

A student earning her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Alabama says she left the school after a professor brought Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) ideas into the classroom.

However, she changed her mind after taking the multicultural and social education for leadership personnel class taught by Dr. Nirmala Erevelles.

In almost every state, law students who pass their state bar examination, which allows them to practice law, take an oath to support the U.S. Constitution. But the country's top law schools teach future lawyers and judges the opposite. Many now teach that the U.S. Constitution, the supreme law of the nation since its ratification in 1788, is broken and should be scrapped. At least that's what two members of conservative think tanks believe after reviewing courses at the country's Top 10 law schools, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report in 2022. They examined the teaching at Yale,...

Why don’t more people of color ride bikes? There is no singular reason; however, safety is often cited as a primary concern. In communities of color with a high concentration of low to middle-income residents, the lack of cycling infrastructure elements, such as bike trails, bike lanes, or even shoulders, make cycling unsafe and impractical. “The lower a metro area’s median household income, the more dangerous it’s streets are likely to be for people walking,” according to a Smart Growth America Dangerous by Design 2021 report. “This is unsurprising, given low-income communities are less likely to have sidewalks, marked crosswalks,...

In July, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that an internal memo targeting Catholics as domestic terrorists was "an outlier from a single field office and does not represent the Agency's thinking or policy." This week, Congressional Republicans obtained an unredacted memo indicating that several field offices were advised to take measures to thwart the threat of white supremacy among Catholics who attend Latin Mass. These measures were to include further infiltration into Catholic communities using various kinds of informants. Caught in his lie, Wray blamed these Republicans "for compromising the confidentiality of a vital security operation. Many people are unaware...

In a recent article, we considered the claims of Brittney Cooper, a professor at Rutgers University. She believes that all "white people," whom she also refers to as "m------------" who are "committed to being villains" — in a word, racists — need to be "taken out." One of her arguments is that, whenever non-whites try to have a "reckoning" with whites, the latter say, "It's just human nature. If y'all had all of this power, you would have done the same thing," right?To this, Cooper insists,No, that's what white humans did, white human beings thought there's a world here and...

Ohio voters on Tuesday will decide on a ballot measure to make it harder to amend the state constitution, a change conservatives say is needed to protect the state from a radical anti-gun, abortion and education agenda that could soon find its way to other states. It's an issue that has already prompted a massive early vote turnout – one that has some election offices straining to manage the load. "This is gubernatorial-level turnout," said Regine Johnson, deputy director of the board of elections in Stark County. As of Wednesday, more than 533,000 people had voted by mail or in...

LOS ANGELES — Emily Drabinski took over as president of the American Library Association in July with plans to tackle the pressing issues facing her profession, such as shoring up funding and fighting a record number of book ban attempts nationwide. She said she wants to make sure that the LBGTQ community and Black people see themselves reflected in the books on their library shelves. And she’s planning to prepare libraries for the consequences of climate change, pointing to the severe flooding this summer. But some Republicans have focused on a single tweet Drabinski sent over a year ago to...

The Temecula Valley (California) School District's board is facing legal challenges over a ban on critical race theory instruction after its then-new conservative majority voted 3-2 to end the allegedly divisive curriculum in its schools last December. "The vague Resolution hinders Temecula educators’ ability to teach State-mandated content standards, prepare for the coming academic year, and support rather than stifle student inquiry. In turn, Temecula students are deprived of the opportunity to engage in factual investigation, freely discuss ideas, and develop critical thinking and reasoning skills," the lawsuit reads. "While harming all schoolchildren, the Resolution in particular injures children of...

Black groups, including the largest Black fraternity, announced that they will pull their conventions out of Florida over its “harmful, racist, and insensitive policies against the Black community.” The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity General President Dr. Willis, L.

The sessions included concepts from critical race theory. Before his death, Richard Bilkszto, a 60-year-old former principal, sued the Toronto District School Board for emotional distress after he attended a training where he was accused of being a racist. Bilkszto alleged in his lawsuit that Kike Ojo-Thompson – who runs an equity firm called the KOJO Institute...

Self-proclaimed “Demon Buster” Florida Rep. Kimberly Daniels, D-Jacksonville, made controversial statements in the past that are now coming back to haunt her. Daniels, now a member of the African American History Task Force, is in the hot seat, along with the rest of the task force this week, regarding newly adopted standards for Black History education that some partisan politicians believe downplay the horrors of slavery. Daniels has tried to distance herself from the controversy and the DeSantis administration on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris’s loud and inaccurate criticism. Still, past comments she’s made thanking God for slavery,...

Now, the discussion has continued to rage on the airwaves and interwebs.The debate centers on a line in Florida’s standards which reads: “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some cases, could be applied for their personal benefit.”Democrats in Congress are now taking a questionable step in response to Florida’s curriculum. The Congressional Black Caucus is now calling on the Biden administration to use federal power to possibly compel...
