University Administrator Forced To Resign Over Study Finding No Racial Bias In Police Shootings

When they said "forced out of his role...", I am not sure if that means he was just kicked out of his leadership role or fired completely.

Crimes against the narrative. He should have chosen truth over facts.

This is great.  :rofl:

This apparently popular white band who I never heard of changed their name to be less racist - into a name that unbeknownst to them has been used by a black singer for over 10 years. They are now suing her for the name.

I've been following this one. He couldn't be fired as a professor because of tenure, but he was fired from his position as research administrator.

For posting about studies done by people at the university because the studies disagreed with the university's stance.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Asking all people to drive safely is a hate crime.

Well, then ... if only black lives matter, just change the sign to advise black people to drive safely. The rest of us are on our own. :duh:

That infers that only black people are bad drivers and need to drive safe.  So that is racist as well.  To the gulag with you!

Once the Gulags are full of white people, they'll complain we all live in gated communities, and demand integration.

Especially when crime is lower and the standard of living is higher in the new gulags than in NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc. that have come under new management and are running without police, fire, or EMS.

Now what about the Chiefs?
Guess they could always just drop the "i"

I have called them the chefs for years. My wife doesn't miss a game but I usually find something else to do.

In related news from KC area. The school district I went to is named after the Shawnee Indian Mission not far from the high school I went to. Of course the mascot was an Indian. They started the move to cancel it this weekend.

Wonder how long before they go after Savage Arms?

Doubt any of this matters to them

Quote
Savage Arms was founded in 1894 by Arthur Savage in Utica, New York.
Quote
In 1919, Arthur Savage was approached by Chief Lame Deer to buy rifles for his tribe in New York. Lame Deer offered to allow Savage to use his image as its logo in exchange for discounted rifles and an annual fee. As of 2018, Savage Arms was still paying the annual fee.[5]

Maybe Kansas City Chiefs should just change their logo to that of a Navy Chief and keep the same name.

Just rename Washington to Leningrad, it's no longer in use, and the Redskins to Communists

AOC would probably complain that the city was being named for a far right wing extremist

They should change the name to the Washington White Boys. The mascot can be a doughy sports fan wearing ceremonial headdress (batting helmet with a beer can attached to each side).
