I don’t like to advocate the profiling of any people. I support it, however, when it comes to the safety of others. As usual, Muslims deserve more scrutiny than others. We already know that young men of middle eastern decent should be watched with very open eyes. Now, we should also be aware of doctors and other medical professionals who are Muslim.

When Iram Qureshi of Dublin, Ohio was dismissed from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine last month after having to repeat her first year and then failing two “systems” in her second year after she stopped attending classes, she did what any normal American Muslim woman would seem to do these days – she called the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and sued.

Tragically, perhaps fatally one day for one of her future patients, a Kanawha County Circuit Court judge has granted her a temporary restraining order so that she could resume her “studies” and clinical rotation beginning this month while her dismissal appeal is reviewed, the Charleston Gazette reports. Curiously, the Charleston Gazette waits until half-way through their article before telling readers that the cause of her dismissal was poor academic performance, not religious discrimination.

Her academic failure, however, hasn’t stopped her attorney, James McQueen, from making a series of allegations of religious discrimination in her defense, including her reluctance to conduct chest and pelvic examinations on male subjects. She claims that her alleged persecution grew so bad, she stopped attending classes altogether and is now forced to take anxiety medication.

Oh puleeze. If a person who wishes to be a doctor (or a nurse or any other medical carer) refuses to “work” with certain classes of people, they need to re-think their career choices. Think about this for a moment: A Muslim doctor is treating you. How can you be sure this person is qualified to do so? After all, they can claim religious discrimination in their training and still manage to get their degrees and credentials…and licenses to practice. All without the absolutely vital hands on training and skill sets required. We can thank CAIR for this.

Beware of the health care providers who appear to be of middle eastern decent.

Two articles of interest here. One points out how the US is one of the “few” developed nations in the world that doesn’t ban “hate speech”- because it is protected under the First Amendment (as all speech should be.)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A couple of years ago, a Canadian magazine published an article arguing that the rise of Islam threatened Western values. The article’s tone was mocking and biting, but it said nothing that conservative magazines and blogs in the United States do not say every day without fear of legal reprisal.
[...]
Two members of the Canadian Islamic Congress say the magazine, Maclean’s, Canada’s leading newsweekly, violated a provincial hate speech law by stirring up hatred against Muslims. They say the magazine should be forbidden from saying similar things, forced to publish a rebuttal and made to compensate Muslims for injuring their “dignity, feelings and self respect.”
[...]
In the United States, that debate has been settled. Under the First Amendment, newspapers and magazines can say what they like about minority groups and religions — even false, provocative or hateful things — without legal consequence.
[...]
Canada, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia and India all have laws or have signed international conventions banning hate speech. Israel and France forbid the sale of Nazi items like swastikas and flags. It is a crime to deny the Holocaust in Canada, Germany and France.

Well, “hate speech” is subjective. What offends me might not offend others. I’ve been called all sorts of names; I’ve been included in groups that I am not a member of (that Bible thumping redneck 40 something woman who is oppressed and dumb…) I have some thick skin and most things don’t bother me. And for the few that do, I IGNORE IT. As for stirring up hatred: I call BS. Groups like Muslims do enough to stir up the very hatred coming their way with their own actions- they don’t need to point fingers at anyone else except themselves. Pot meets kettle.

The second article shows an example of what most liberals and the like consider to be free speech- even though it clearly shows otherwise. I have no issue with this school- so long as tax payers aren’t footing the bill.

McLEAN, Va. -Textbooks at a private Islamic school in northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday.

Other passages in the school’s textbooks state that “the Jews conspired against Islam and its people” and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed “polytheists.”

The passages were found in selected textbooks used during the 2007-08 school year by the Islamic Saudi Academy, which teaches 900 students in grades K-12 at two campuses in Alexandria and Fairfax and receives much of its funding from the Saudi government.

Now some people will be really upset with this. It is a form of Islamification. It is wrong and dangerous and those who attend this so called school should be monitored by the government- watched forever as they are potential terrorists. But they won’t be. Because of free speech. Which is guaranteed by our Constitution and should always be free of guidelines, perimeters and exclusions. Human beings are not robots; we’re not perfect; we have feelings and emotions which we cannot always keep to ourselves. No one should be punished for expressing how they feel or what they think.

One of the Marines charged with dereliction of duty has been found not guilty of all charges.

For the record, he is a REAL HERO and everyone should strive to be like him.

Stand up for the right thing. Even when doing so will make you unpopular.

The long, painful ordeal of Marine 1st Lt. Andrew Grayson came to a sudden end Wednesday when a jury of seven fellow Marine officers found him not guilty of trumped-up charges that should never have been leveled against him in the first place.

As Newsmax reported on Sept. 11, 2007, Grayson earned the enmity of prosecutors when he turned down their offer that would spare him from prison if he would agree to testify against fellow 3rd battalion, 1st Marines.

“I was asked by the prosecution to fall on my sword for the greater good of the Marine Corps,” Grayson, 26, recalled. “The prosecution wanted me to distort the truth to fit their end goal.”

The greater good of the Marine Corps has been served well by 1st Lt Grayson. He did the right thing in spite of the pressures he received from those above him, who were seeking the wrong thing.

Another perfect example of Semper Fi.

Too bad the brass of the Marine Corps no longer understands these two words.

Has anyone here, seen my old friend Tom?

Well, no. But we hear about him now and again:

Congressman Tom Tancredo joked yesterday that he would like to take being GOP to the next level … Grand Old Professor.

The Colorado conservative said he would make an excellent candidate for the University of Colorado’s proposed $9 million program that aims to recruit prominent conservatives to teach on the liberal Boulder campus.

“I should be the clear favorite for the job,” quipped Tancredo yesterday in a joke news release. “Who doesn’t want a slightly used congressman, with a 98 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, educating their children?”

Tancredo said if he was chosen as a Visiting Chair in Conservative Thought and Policy, he would teach a curriculum that includes “Western Civilization and the Threat of Islamofascism, English Only 101, and American Assimilation,” which would replace “Chicano and ethnic studies.”

Good syllabus. I think American youth would become better citizens if they could learn from conservatives vs. liberals all the time. Fair and balanced…a foreign concept to most university campuses.

Men, beware.

ELKTON, Md. (AP) - Starting next year across the country, rape victims too afraid or too ashamed to go to police can undergo an emergency-room forensic rape exam, and the evidence gathered will be kept on file in a sealed envelope in case they decide to press charges.

Things you do on a date can come back to bite you years later now. I suggest everyone start videotaping sexual encounters to provide a way to prove a rape didn’t occur. Or something like it anyway.

Read this:

It is with no pleasure that I put in writing what I have long believed: Though many individual liberals have only goodwill toward black Americans, the liberal world since the late 1960s (i.e., after the major civil rights legislation of the mid-1960s) has done incalculable damage to black America and to race relations in this country. Whether out of guilt or because of its own racist views (i.e., the unspoken but regularly implied belief in the inferiority of African-Americans), the left-of-center’s general attitude toward black Americans has been that they cannot be judged by the same standards as others.

It’s refreshing to read the truth once in awhile. This article offers many examples of how the left plays the race card on behalf of people who have been brainwashed into playing some game that they can never win. Race is not an issue- and the only time it is, is when liberals do the crying. When will they learn?

As the world starves…

WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush called on Congress Thursday to approve $770 million to help alleviate dramatically escalating food prices that threaten widespread hunger and increasing social unrest around the world.

In a surprise appearance at the White House, Bush announced he is asking lawmakers to approve the additional funds for global food aid and development programs. The money is being included in a broader $70 billion Iraq war funding measure for 2009 that the White House sent to Capitol Hill on Thursday.

“In some of the world’s poorest nations, rising prices can mean the difference between getting a daily meal and going without food,” Bush said. “The American people are generous people and they’re a compassionate people. We believe in the timeless truth `to whom much is given, much is expected.”

…the US runs to the rescue.

And the UN sits on tons of cash.

Just weeks before it announced the onset of a global food crisis and the urgent need for donors to provide at least $775 million in additional funding, the World Food Program was sitting on a cash and near-cash stockpile of more than $1.22 billion.

The startling figure is contained in the latest audited statements of the WFP, which were endorsed by the WFP’s executive director, Josette Sheeran, on March 31, just a month before Sheeran announced at an international aid conference on April 22 that a “silent tsunami” in rising food prices demanded the huge infusion of cash for the WFP’s latest budget.

In a May 1 International Herald Tribune op-ed, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon further declared that the WFP had just “$18 million cash in hand” in the wake of its appeal for emergency funding.

So why are we wasting so much of our money on this? Why are we not insisting the UN be accountable for every penny it has and then some? Cause we have a government full of stupid, bleeding hearted soft kneed polcats who aren’t interested in helping hungry people. Nope. It’s all about being politically correct. And we can afford to continue funding this foolsihness international group of idiOts known as the UN?

Some things simply amaze me.

I love the Marines. Everyone knows this.

But when I read this I wanted to go smack them upside their high and tighties.

In a special ceremony, the Pentagon recently promoted a Wahhabi-trained Muslim chaplain who catered to al-Qaida detainees at Guantanamo and fought to establish the first mosque in Marine Corps history.

When we cater to enemies, they stab us in our backs.

Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England personally promoted Navy chaplain Abuhena Mohammed Saifulislam from lieutenant to lieutenant commander. Saifulislam also received a Joint Service Commendation Medal at the Pentagon ceremony held on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The Pentagon has gone completely PC. Like it was before 9-11.

England also earlier this year personally dedicated a new Islamic center at Marine headquarters in Quantico, Va., on the advice of Saifulislam, a Bangladesh immigrant who became a U.S. citizen in 1995.

The Muslim chaplain, who is stationed at Quantico, recited verses from the Quran in Arabic and English at the summer dedication ceremony, which included representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, several leaders of which have been convicted on terrorism-related charges.

Uugh. How can a Marine do this knowing the very people he is praising are actively killing his comrades in a war that is one against an ideology seeking to kill freedom as we know it?

Saifulislam, which is Arabic for “Sword of Islam,” received his religious training at a radical Islamic school raided by federal agents after 9/11. The Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences, based in Leesburg, Va., is run by Taha Jaber Al-Alwani, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Sami al-Arian terror case. A federal affidavit used to obtain a warrant to search the school alleges Al-Alwani gave at least $50,000 in jihad money “to support suicide bombings.”

The Marines have a sword as well. Here, the evil sword takes precedent. All to appease those who cry and make noise when we stand up to them, ready to fight back.

“With the Quantico mosque, the Pentagon is facilitating the study of the holy text the enemy uses, heretically or not, as their manual of warfare.”

Saifulislam’s promotion along with the dedication of his new Quantico mosque – the first of its kind in the 230-year history of the Corps – comes on the heels of a Muslim spy scandal at Gitmo involving another Muslim chaplain.

Army Capt. James “Yousef” Yee, who ministered to al-Qaida detainees, was charged with mishandling classified information. Yee, a convert to Islam, quit the Army and the charges were dropped. But two of his Muslim military friends at Gitmo were convicted of espionage-related crimes.

Some say it’s just a few. It was only a few who planned, plotted and carried out those attacks on September 11th.

It’s ironic this these few chaplains and their followers have joined the Few and Proud.

Read the entire article and ask: What’s going on here? And weep for those who truly stand for freedom and who directly fight for it.

Earth Day’s up and coming. And the Climahysterics are frothing at their green tinted lips.

EARTH DAY is a week from today, so brace yourself for cuddly, hug-the-planet blubbering from the presidential candidates. John McCain will tell you we must be the “caretakers of creation” even though he received a zero rating in 2007 from the League of Conservation Voters. Hillary Clinton will tout her 10-step personal home plan on global warming, such as recycling and using efficient light bulbs. Barack Obama will surely tell us we “cannot afford more of the same timid politics when the future of our planet is at stake.”

Ah, but what about hamburgers? When the candidates tell us to stay out of McDonald’s, then we will know their light bulbs are on. The end of timid politics is when they say that with the planet being at stake, you must eat less steak.

With fatal food riots in poor nations, and with China rapidly approaching Western levels of consumption, we in the obese United States must redefine what constitutes, to borrow from McDonald’s, a “happy meal.” Scientists are concluding that along with more fuel-efficient cars and curbing industrial pollution, the simple act of eating less meat could help slow global warming.

I have Earth Day off from work and you know what? I’m hosting our weekly cookout. And guess what is on the menu? HAMBURGERS. Lots of them. In every shape and form. Of every variety of ground beef. So do the same thing next week. Let’s create the Global Burger Awareness Day.

Isn’t this just dandy.

Muslims students at the University of Miami have organized for the Islamic call to prayer, broadcasted each Friday afternoon this month from Richter Library’s clock tower in commemoration of Islamic Awareness Month.

The call to prayer, or Adhan, is spoken in Arabic and is meant to resonate throughout the area.

“It serves as constant reminder of when we have to pray, because prayer itself is a reminder of our religion and how we practice it,” said Selima Jumarali, the vice president of the organization.

According to the teachings of Islam, Muslims are to pray five times a day. In Muslim-majority countries, the call is usually performed live by an individual and is heard before every prayer.

Do we have a Christian Awareness Month? Or a Jewish Awareness Month? How about a Buddism Awareness Month? No, of course not.

“It brings true variety to the university and open appreciation to diversity, especially in these times when people have misunderstandings of Muslims and who we are,” she said.

I don’t know about others, but everything I ever wanted to learn about Islam I learned on September 11 2001. That was enough for me. I’m really getting sick and tired of all the pandering to Muslims. I don’t want to have any more awareness of their religion, because it’s not peaceful.

OUCH!! Just dammit. I KNOW this must have HURT.

LOS ANGELES — A Texas woman who said she was forced to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an airplane called Thursday for an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation.

“I wouldn’t wish this experience upon anyone,” Mandi Hamlin said at a news conference. “My experience with TSA was a nightmare I had to endure. No one deserves to be treated this way.”

Hamlin, 37, said she was trying to board a flight from Lubbock to Dallas on Feb. 24 when she was scanned by a Transportation Security Administration agent after passing through a larger metal detector without problems.

Yeah….

The female TSA agent used a handheld detector that beeped when it passed in front of Hamlin’s chest, the Dallas-area resident said.

Hamlin said she told the woman she was wearing nipple piercings. The women then called over her male colleagues, one of whom said she would have to remove the jewelry, Hamlin said.

Hamlin said she could not remove them and asked whether she could instead display her pierced breasts in private to the female agent. But several other male officers told her she could not board her flight until the jewelry was out, she said.

Okay, permanent nipple rings don’t pose ANY threat to anyone. Trust me on this. Fercryinoutloud. Talk about following stupid rules even when faced with a situation that’s obviously not a threat!

She was taken behind a curtain and managed to remove one bar-shaped piercing but had trouble with the second, a ring.

“Still crying, she informed the TSA officer that she could not remove it without the help of pliers, and the officer gave a pair to her,” said Hamlin’s attorney, Gloria Allred, reading from a letter she sent Thursday to the director of the TSA’s Office of Civil Rights and Liberties.

Hamlin said she heard male TSA agents snickering as she took out the ring. She was scanned again and was allowed to board even though she still was wearing a belly button ring.

Snickering? I’d have kicked them in their damn balls after removing those things, with PLIERS. Bastards!

I’m sorry- but I think this is just plain STUPID. We let real threats board our planes every day (young angry Muslim men…) but a woman with pierced boobs is treated like this? BULLSHIT. I say SUE THE TSA.

When I was in 5th grade my class did a project about racism. We learned all about the personalities of those who brought forth this issue in American history, and how they came to be who they were. And, what happened to them throughout their lives. Dr. King and others were subjects of study.

Once upon a time there was another Reverend Wright, who stood up for racial justice. With the modern day Rev. Wright, of Obama fame, I see a very different but similar series of events taking place. Racism could end in America, if only those who chose to use it as an excuse for their shortcomings would stop doing so.

Once upon a time, America’s soul was stirred by a brilliant man whose words provoked a national conversation about race, a black man who firmly believed in so-called “social justice”, a man of consequence whose struggles and achievements formed the backdrop of a quintessentially American story.

Who was this man? Not Barack Obama, but the late Richard Wright.

Wright, the author of the iconic 1940 novel Native Son, bore witness to the horrors of the pre-civil-rights South; the anti-black violence of his Mississippi childhood left emotional scars that took decades to heal. Like Obama, Wright settled in Chicago as a young adult and began a long march to national fame; by the mid-1940s, Wright became the most famous African-American author in the United States, a man hailed worldwide for his vivid depictions of racial injustice.

Like Obama, Wright aligned himself with a politically radical entity–in Wright’s case, the American Communist Party. Wright spent years
writing for Communist publications and defending the party’s doctrines. His commitment to Communism was not just professional, but personal; in 1941, shortly after a failed first marriage, he wed Ellen Poplar, a New York Communist Party organizer.

Yet, unlike Obama, Wright gradually opened his eyes to the deep flaws of the radical group he had joined. Wright realized that despite the party’s proclamations of colorblindness, an inflexible racial caste system existed in the organization. He was denounced when he tried to question the party’s orthodoxy, and was rebuked when he raised questions about the treatment of those living in the Soviet Union. Slowly but surely, Wright realized that Communism was oppression disguised as freedom; by the late-1940s, he had severed his ties to the Communist Party.

Wright remained a liberal until the end of his life, but he understood that Communism was poisonous, corrosive, dangerous to the ideals of freedom upon which his vision of liberalism stood. He was loathed by former Communist colleagues for his apostasy, but he never apologized for seeing the truth behind Communism’s lie.

Obama and Hillary and their supporters are seeking a form of communism for America. They’re using examples of social injustice as reasons for this. Do we ever learn from our history? Do liberals even know of it? I don’t think so. Why does a conservative author such as D.R. Tucker write and remind some of us about the other Rev. Wright? Why the silence from those on the left? Do they not want this history recalled and it’s lesson’s re-taught? I think so.

With Geraldine Ferraro’s forced departure from the Clinton campaign, we appear to be entering a new phase in American politics, where reality TV threatens to merge with political campaigns.

In ye olde days (perhaps a year ago or more), political advisors who mispoke got assigned to a purgatory where they had to work off their miscue with requisite apologies and perhaps absolution from key party figures. This, of course is the established routine for celebrity mishaps, e.g. Mel Gibson.

But now the rules have changed: no longer does purgatory suffice; now nothing but complete perdition will satisfy the blood lust of the audience. We’re moving to politics as a reality show: the next step will be participatory polling of viewers as to whether the hooked advisor wiggling under the kleig lights should be thrown off the island.

While those on the Republican side may feel some glee as the Democratic campaign teams trade cast-aways, in the longer run (i.e. the general election) I don’t believe this lowered barrier serves well our political process.

With any offense potentially opening the trapdoor to the political gallows, we face a threat to vigorous debate in which advisors and supporters may take the path of less resistance and give in to self-censorship pressures rather than risk offending the sensibilities of their opponent, egged on by a gladiatorial media delighting in throwing another public figure to the lions.

Or perhaps we should view this new trend as a metastasis of PC.

But as more and more statements and topic are consigned to exile beyond the pale, this will further reduce debate on issues of substance and further the degradation of politics to impotent entertainment devoid of substance.

So beware, the worm may turn against us in the general as the MSM returns to their usual Bash the Republicans fare. John, I hope you will stand fast against this tide and not let your team be swept away to oblivion by media breakers.

Can I say WOW?

Each candidate is carefully pandering to a smorgasbord of special-interest groups, ranging from gay, lesbian and transgender people to children of illegal immigrants to working mothers to evangelical Christians.

There is one group no one has recognized, and it is the group that will decide the election: the Angry White Man. The Angry White Man comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America, from urban sophisticate to rural redneck, deep South to mountain West, left Coast to Eastern Seaboard.

His common traits are that he isn’t looking for anything from anyone — just the promise to be able to make his own way on a level playing field. In many cases, he is an independent businessman and employs several people. He pays more than his share of taxes and works hard.

The victimhood syndrome buzzwords — “disenfranchised,” “marginalized” and “voiceless” — don’t resonate with him. “Press ‘one’ for English” is a curse-word to him. He’s used to picking up the tab, whether it’s the company Christmas party, three sets of braces, three college educations or a beautiful wedding.

He believes the Constitution is to be interpreted literally, not as a “living document” open to the whims and vagaries of a panel of judges who have never worked an honest day in their lives.

I’m an angry white woman too- who understands the angry white man and wishes she could change some of this.

One in four Britons don’t believe wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill existed, according to a recent survey.

Churchill is compared to Florence Nightingale and Sir Walter Raleigh, seen by many survey respondents as a mythical person, the London Daily Mail reported Monday.

The survey, conducted with 3,000 respondents to test their general knowledge, reported other historical figures such as Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, Cleopatra and the Duke of Wellington were made up for books and films, the Mail reported.

The survey, by UKTV Gold, also found that Sherlock Holmes was a real person.

Young Britons under 20 lack a basic historical education according to the survey results, historian Correlli Barnett told the Daily Mail.

“This suggests a complete lack of common sense and respect for our greatest heroes of the past,” Barnett said.

This is what happens when schools start worrying about be politically correct. They teach ’bout “fweewings” and how to put a condom on a bananna. Curriculums focus on revisionist history with multicultualist attitudes that place one’s home country (ya know, the one created and run by old, white, aristocrats) beneath all others in an attempt to placate perceived wrongs.

It was good knowing you Great Britain, hate to eventually lose an ally..

When I was a little kid I always liked the story of the Three Little Pigs. It was cute and funny and it showed me that DOING THINGS the RIGHT WAY FIRST is always best…and that using the BEST MATERIALS would always pay off.

So what the hell is this shit now?

A children’s story based on the tale of the Three Little Pigs was rejected for an award after judges became concerned that it would offend Muslims, the Times of London reported.

The animated virtual book for primary school children, The Three Little Cowboy Builders, was also criticized for its potential to offend builders.

The row centered on the Bett awards, which were supported by Becta, the Government’s technology agency for schools. The judges’ remarks, reported on the education technology Web site Merlin John Online, included: “Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?

“The idea of taking a traditional tale and retelling a story is fine, but it should not alienate parts of the workforce. Judges would not recommend this product to the Muslim community in particular.”

Bite me. I am SO SICK of people worrying about offending the damn Muslims. Tough shit if they’re feelings and pride are hurt. They need to grow some thicker skin and get over themselves. And to those who pander to these feelings and pride: GO FUCK YOURSELVES. You’re creating more problem with this stuff; you’re tearing down bridges by alienating those of us who are not offended and can separate the real issues with the dumb and petty ones.

Whoa…a letter to American feminists.

We are encouraged by the fact that these American feminists feel the need to respond to our challenge over their silence as a movement on violence against Muslim women and to assert their opposition to these barbaric practices. We challenge them now to put actions behind their words.

Go read all of this to get context. I have been unable to find words to describe my feelings on THIS article that the NYT published the other day.
This article at FPM describes some of how I feel.

Well duh.

Most diversity training efforts at American companies are ineffective and even counterproductive in increasing the number of women and minorities in managerial positions, according to an analysis that turns decades of conventional wisdom, government policy and court rulings on their head.

A comprehensive review of 31 years of data from 830 mid-size to large U.S. workplaces found that the kind of diversity training exercises offered at most firms were followed by a 7.5 percent drop in the number of women in management. The number of black, female managers fell by 10 percent, and the number of black men in top positions fell by 12 percent. Similar effects were seen for Latinos and Asians.

The analysis did not find that all diversity training is useless. Rather, it showed that mandatory programs — often undertaken mainly with an eye to avoiding liability in discrimination lawsuits — were the problem. When diversity training is voluntary and undertaken to advance a company’s business goals, it was associated with increased diversity in management.

The origins of diversity training trace back to the civil rights movement and the belief that education, sensitivity and awareness are key to reducing discrimination. While many companies have embraced such training as a way to make workplaces more inclusive and to cater to an increasingly diverse customer base, trainers and researchers note that other companies use “sensitivity training” superficially — as a cosmetic response to complaints from internal and external critics.

I’ve attended those “sensitivity/diversity” training sessions at work…all aimed at trying to force me to respect and like and coddle people who may not deserve my attention…or those who are called “disadvantaged” and “underprivileged”. Being a woman, I was supposed to really LIKE these sessions and go away feeling empowered.

Not. I don’t care if you’re a woman…who is black…with one leg…who started in the gutters and worked your way upward. If you don’t have the qualifications for a job, you shouldn’t get it. I could also care less if you’re a man, who is white, with all limbs and lots of money and a big ego…if you’re not qualified for the job you shouldn’t get it. Questions as to who gets the job- the perfect man or the not so perfect woman, are muddled by race and sex baiting failures in this world. It’s pretty simple if you ask me.

These “trainings” are really a form of mind control I think…The race baiters forced all this upon us. No one can be “trained” to be diverse- that comes naturally within people. Some of us are more tolerant than others. And it goes both ways folks…people who fill the description of being diverse are just as prejudiced and biased as anyone else. It’s called human nature, and we’re born with it. When these people drop the bait, or when I can claim my race/sex as a relevant factor I will look upon them as being equal to me. Until then, STFU.
