NOTE: At some point, before bed, I read through 50+ news sources and share my findings here. If you like it, share it. If you don’t, share it. Follow my blog now to support my work or to find new reasons to complain about it. My opinions are my own. All tips are welcome as well as comments on my video series - The Jim Stroud Show.
In an earlier post, I talked about how support for Black Lives Matter is in the decline. Today I am sharing 2 more events that might make that decline all the more profound.
First (add this to the pile of news stories that you won’t see in the mainstream media), check out the testimonial of Rashad Turner, Founder of the St. Paul chapter of Black Lives Matter. In his video, “The Truth Revealed about BLM,” he explains why he quit BLM.
And this is the other event I was alluding to, the Co-founder of the national org – Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors, resigned recently, but for a different reason. Here is a quote from the NY Post.
Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal. Her last day with the foundation is Friday.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” Cullors said. “It feels like the time is right.”
But her resignation comes amid controversy over the group’s finances and Cullors’ personal wealth — including an alleged real estate buying spree in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US, according to property records reported last month.
But Cullors said her departure has been in the works and is not tied to those “attacks.”
Will others in leadership resign as public support further dissipates? Time will tell. If they do however, it will not be because Hollywood did not back them up! Breitbart reports that since George Floyd died last year, 127 TV episodes pushed a BLM agenda. Here is a quote.
Since the death of George Floyd last year, Hollywood has devoted significant air time to promoting far-left racial ideologies. A new report has found that in the last 12 months, 127 TV episodes have pushed Black Lives Matter, the “defund the police” movement, and the belief that America is “systemically racist.”
To be clear, the “systemic racism” that is alleged is white people discriminating against black people. The reverse is not the case according to BLM. So, please ignore the following stories (as the mainstream media often does).
No White People Can Eat Here
According to Post Millennial: Police are investigating an incident at a Popeyes restaurant in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, after an alleged sign announced that the fast food restaurant reserved “the right to refuse service to white people.” Authorities report that the restaurant and its employees had nothing to do with the sign.
No White People Can Live Here
Gateway Pundit reports…
Black activists from the New Black Panther Party and other groups staged an armed march in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday. Organizers held a Second Amendment “March for Reparations” and marched through downtown Tulsa.
“The struggle for Reparations must be escalated,” a news release from organizers read. “We must fight on every front to achieve redress and Reparations for the atrocities committed upon Tulsa Massacre descendants; and we must intensify the fight to achieve Reparations for all 40-million Blacks still grossly affected by racism, inequality, wealth disparity, police brutality and the like. Tulsa will mark a new beginning in the upgraded fight for Reparations for Black people.”
In the tweet below is a video (2) from the event where an activist says, “… black Americans will kill everything white in sight.”
Let’s Treat White Businesses Differently than Black Businesses
Discrimination is still illegal. But not for lack of trying. – Mish Talk reports:
On March 12, president Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan into law. Part of the rescue plan designated $29 billion for a Restaurant Revitalization Fund grant program for small privately-owned business. The grant program gave priority status to specific racial and ethnic groups and women. Today the 6th Circuit Court Rules Race Priority Unconstitutional.
If You’re White, You Ain’t Right
This tweet has been going viral on Twitter. Its a video about a teacher urging her fellow teachers in Portland to teach “anti-racism” which (in fact) teaches you to become racist.
When its our fault, its still your fault
Now here is an interesting headline from RT.
And to quote from the article…
The main event commemorating the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot, featuring singer John Legend and politician Stacey Abrams, had to be canceled because lawyers for the survivors demanded more money than previously agreed, organizers said.
The ‘Remember and Rise’ ceremony was canceled on Friday, with the organizers blaming “unexpected circumstances with entertainers and speakers.”
Some activists were quick to pin the blame on threats of “white terrorism,” pointing to reports of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bulletin alleging possible violence at the event.
Racism is wrong.
No matter who perpetrates it.
No matter how it is excused.
No matter how justifiable some people think it is.
There is no reverse racism, in my opinion. Only racism.
It is evil and evil should be called out at every turn.
I will call it when I see it. Today, tomorrow and every day after.
But, I digress.
Other Things I Read Today
No jab, no job? Big problem. – I am confident that I will see an increase in lawsuits as people return to the office. Some companies will try to make their employees take a vaccine shot and employees will sue those companies in refusal. Consider these 2 news stories. This one from NPR says “Under recent guidance from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), employers have the legal right to make such a requirement [covid vaccine shots]. Conversely, this story from Washington Examiner talks about 117 employees who filed a joint lawsuit against Houston Methodist Hospital, alleging top brass in the medical facility planned on firing unvaccinated staff by the first week of June if they refused a shot.
Go woke and go broke. It never fails. – DailyMail reports: Piers Morgan has claimed ITV want him to return to Good Morning Britain after his bombshell exit from the show back in March. The presenter, 56, quit the breakfast show following his comments about Meghan Markle and subsequent onscreen clash with co-star Alex Beresford. He said bosses have ‘reached out’ about a possible return and that he believes he could ‘take the ratings back to where I left them’ after a slump in viewing figures. {And may I add: Hahahahahaha… Way to go Piers! You are allowed to have your own opinion in a free country. Good for you.}
Kudos to the patriots of London! – Click here to see a video of thousands gathered in Central London to protest against Lockdown and restrictions. Starting at Trafalgar square the Crowd walked through Oxford Street to Marble Arch in London.
