“Reason is not automatic and those who do not accept it, cannot be defeated by it” -Ayn Rand.
This story from Blazing Cat fur. I simply do not have the adjectives to express my disgust and contempt for what has become of our institutions of reason and learning. Seems we lost the cold war after all, and Russia certainly won it, as I doubt they would stoop to this level of Marxist political correctness.
Eeyore.

Racism:
While people in different contexts can experience prejudice or discrimination, racism, in a North American context, is based on an ideology of the superiority of the white race over other racial groups. Racism is evident in individual acts, such as racial slurs, jokes, etc., and institutionally, in terms of policies and practices at institutional levels of society. The result of institutional racism is that it maintains white privilege and power (such as racial profiling, hiring practices, history, and literature that centre on Western, European civilizations to the exclusion of other civilizations and communities). The social, systemic, and personal assumptions, practices, and behaviours that discriminate against persons according to their skin colour, hair texture, eye shape, and other superficial physical characteristics.

Yes, this makes perfect sense. Our own educators here in the States will be quick to inform you that racism must have an element of historical discrimination and/or “power” attached to it, ie. the power to inflict dominance over a lesser individual. The practical effect of this new standard is that those without “power” or PC victim status can express the most vile racist views imaginable without being called on it by the establishment elites. And by the way, from the viewpoint of the Left every group in the world except white males enjoys victim status to one degree or another.
Here’s just one spanner in the works of that fallacious statement (not to mention one in the claims of the BDS nazis, since Israel is the only country in the Middle East where blacks are considered human beings):
THEY are the lucky ones. Avishai and Yolanda Pinchas brought some 50 homeless Sudanese to the large tent and wooden huts in their back yard at the Kadesh Barnea kibbutz. The Sudanese now enjoy a steady stream of donated food and clothes, including a shipment of new top-of-the-line sports shoes from one of Mr Pinchas’s friends. Well-disposed doctors check up on them, and several student volunteers play with the children. At night they can hear the shooting as another group of refugees tries to cross the border a mile or two away.
Israel now has an estimated 1,200-1,300 Sudanese asylum-seekers, some 500 of them from war-torn Darfur. Most spent several years in Egypt, but even those officially granted asylum could rarely get work, and suffered slum living conditions and racist abuse (“chocolata, africaca [African shit], slave”, says one woman, recounting the epithets she used to hear). They began trickling across the porous border to Israel after Egyptian police killed at least 27 at a demonstration in Cairo in 2005. By spring of this year, the news that Israeli soldiers don’t kill Sudanese and that people hand out Nike trainers for nothing had spread, hyped up by Bedouin smugglers who, like Mexico’s coyotes, charge hundreds of dollars a head to deliver people across the wasteland of the Sinai desert. Hundreds more from other African countries are seeking asylum too.
Unfortunately, they are not racist enough.
