Whats racial discrimination

Tuesday, MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough reacted to President Joe Biden’s Buffalo speech. Biden criticized figures in the media or online for spreading lies for “political gain and for profit.” Scarborough praised Biden’s remarks about the Buffalo shooting and suggested there were pundits “on a powerful cable news network” that were no longer “selling republicanism anymore.” Instead, the host said the network was “preaching racial hatred.” “[I] thought it was so important for Joe Biden, President of the United States, to talk about politicians and commentators stirring up hatred for power and for profit,” Scarborough emphasized. “You see, because so many of those people online and on a powerful cable news network, they’re not selling republicanism anymore. They’re not selling conservatism. I know what conservatism is. I’ve been conservative my entire life. I’ve read Buckley. I’ve read Burke. I’ve read Russell Kirk. I read ‘The Closing of the American Mind.’ I’ve been … [Read more...] about Scarborough: FNC ‘Not Selling Republicanism,’ ‘Conservatism’ Anymore — ‘They’re Preaching Racial Hatred’

A state agency in New York has filed an administrative complaint against Amazon, alleging the e-commerce giant discriminated against pregnant and disabled workers by denying them “reasonable accommodations” and forcing them to take unpaid leave, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday. Amazon has more than 39,000 workers across New York in nearly two dozen worksites, which employ in-house consultants who evaluate accommodation requests, according to a statement from the governor’s office. But the New York State Division of Human Rights, the agency that filed the complaint, alleges the retailer has a policy that allows onsite managers to override recommendations from the consultants, which has led to denials in the worker requests. State law requires all employers to provide reasonable accommodation for pregnant and disabled workers. The governor’s office lists three separate employee requests from pregnant or disabled workers that it says were denied. The complaint also … [Read more...] about NY agency files discrimination complaint against Amazon

Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi have teamed up for a project that puts body and weight-shaming into perspective with a good dose of humour. Titled Double XL, A woman is so much more beautiful and complex than just being judged by a number on a scale, this is the core message of the movie. The teaser of the film was unveiled a few months ago. And in her recent interview with ETimes, the Holiday actress weighed on the topic of body shaming and what made her opt for the Huma Qureshi co-starrer. Sonakshi said, “It hit home so hard when the script came to both of us. I would never have done that film with anyone else but Huma. It’s so important to both of us. Body and weight-shaming have happened to both of us for years in our lives. It happened from the beginning of our careers in this line, and it still happens. It hasn’t stopped. No matter what size you are, people are always discussing it, which I think is bordering on the unnecessary now. We talk endlessly about cutting out … [Read more...] about Sonakshi Sinha Weighs In On Body Shaming: ‘No Matter What Size You Are, People Will Always Comment On It’

Several Black students who were suspended for trying to protest Confederate flag displays at their school in Georgia have filed a federal lawsuit against their school district and its board members, accusing them of allowing an extensive pattern of racism including “overt bigotry and animosity by some white students and teachers against African American students.” The students, joined by their mothers as plaintiffs, already made news when their protest at Coosa High School was stifled last fall. Now, in their lawsuit filed Tuesday against the Floyd County school district and its board members, they allege an extensive pattern of racism, including white students reenacting the murder of George Floyd and posting it on social media, and a student who carried what appeared to be a whip and told a Black student “we used to whip you.” They also allege unfair punishment: Students are banned from wearing Black Lives Matter shirts, but Confederate flag apparel is acceptable under … [Read more...] about Georgia students sue over blocked protest against rebel flag

Three years ago, when a white-supremacist fanatic killed dozens of people in El Paso, Texas, the reaction from the right was unreserved condemnation . When another white-supremacist fanatic killed 10 people at a supermarket in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, last week, the reaction from some figures on the right was to acknowledge that the guy had a point about this whole “replacement” thing. Large sections of the manifesto attributed to the Buffalo shooter were plagiarized from the El Paso shooter’s writings. Both share the premise that violence against nonwhite people is justified to prevent “white genocide” or the “replacement” of white Americans by nonwhite immigrants. As the alleged Buffalo shooter put it, he carried out the attack because “all black people are replacers just by existing in White countries.” I would offer to explain how Black people got to the United States , but who knows if “critical race theory” remains legal where you’re reading this.

The 18-year-old accused of allegedly killing 10 people and wounding three others in the Buffalo, New York grocery store shooting on May 14 that officials say is racially motivated wore a hazmat suit to class when his high school returned from its in-person learning pause due to COVID-19, yearbook pictures obtained by Fox News Digital show.

When Gendron and his classmates … [Read more...] about Buffalo mass shooting suspect wore hazmat suit to school once in-person learning resumed

Some 2,000 Black people were killed from 1865 to 1876, during the Reconstruction era, the result of a widespread effort to use white supremacist terror to maintain economic, political and social control over newly emancipated Black people, according to the Equal Justice Initiative . This reign of terror worked to stamp out any semblance of Black progress after slavery, working hand in hand with oppressive Jim Crow laws that enforced legal segregation throughout the country for decades. A white man is accused of continuing this legacy of white supremacist terror on Saturday when he allegedly traveled to a supermarket in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York, and killed 10 people , most of them Black. Experts say his act was not episodic or unprecedented, but is part of America’s violent history of using racial terror to intimidate and exert power over Black people. In the days since the shooting, conversations about hate crimes and gun control have consumed the nation. … [Read more...] about The Buffalo shooting was centuries in the making, experts say

Last year, Texas passed HB 20, a law that prohibits major internet platforms from discriminating against users on the basis of their viewpoints or beliefs. The law proceeds from a centuries-old legal tradition holding that some businesses—such as phone companies, airlines, restaurants, schools and hotels—must serve all people without discrimination. Claiming that it has a First Amendment right to discriminate against users whose views it finds objectionable, Big Tech challenged HB 20 through its trade group NetChoice, which represents the interests of companies ranging from Google to the Chinese state-affiliated platform TikTok. It secured an injunction from an Obama-appointed district court judge in December. But last Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit lifted a stay on the law, allowing it to go into effect while the court decided the merits of the legal challenge. Rather than allow the judicial system to work itself out, however, NetChoice made an … [Read more...] about Big Tech is making a desperate bid to avoid judicial scrutiny | Opinion

2020 Democrat White House hopefuls reacted angrily to chants of “send her back” targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) at President Donald Trump’s Wednesday evening rally in Greenville, North Carolina. “It’s clear that Donald Trump is trying to divide us by race and gender. It’s immoral. Our children are listening,” former Vice President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter. “These members of Congress — children of immigrants, just like so many of us — are an example of exactly what makes America great.” “Four days ago, the President of the United States suggested that four elected members of Congress, all women of color, ought to “go back” to the countries “from which they came.” And every day since he has repeated this ugly, racist refrain,” the 2020 Democrat frontrunner added. We’ve heard it before throughout our history, but it has no place in America in 2019. It’s clear that Donald Trump is trying to divide us by race and gender. It’s immoral. Our children are listening. — Joe … [Read more...] about 2020 Democrats Furious Over ‘Send Her Back’ Chants at Trump Rally

The U.S. Soccer Federation reached milestone agreements to pay its men's and women's teams equally, making the American national governing body the first in the sport to promise both sexes matching money. The federation announced separate collective bargaining agreements through December 2028 with the unions for both national teams on Wednesday, ending years of often acrimonious negotiations. The men have been playing under the terms of a CBA that expired in December 2018. The women's CBA expired at the end of March, but talks continued after the federation and the players agreed to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit brought by some of the players in 2019. The settlement was contingent on the federation reaching labor contracts that equalized pay and bonuses between the two teams. Led by Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, American women long have pressed for gender equity. “I feel a lot of pride for the girls who are going to see this growing up, and recognize their value … [Read more...] about US Soccer equalizes pay in milestone with women, men
