White teacher interrupts anti-racism talk to argue, swear at Black presenter in front of students
…On Thursday, Newton had reached the part of his workshop that dealt with a book by author Pierre Vallières, the title of which contains the N-word. Vallières was a leader within the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) who committed acts of terror.
Vallières’ book drew parallels between the plight of French-speaking Quebecers and the civil rights struggle of African Americans.
According to Newton, he started explaining to students that the parallel was not a fair and valid one, and that’s when he says the white teacher cut him off and began to argue.

“Starting today, guests who show a valid COVID-19 vaccination card at any Krispy Kreme shop in the US can receive a free doughnut—anytime, any day, even every day—through the remainder of 2021,” the company wrote in a press release on Monday 22 March.

Federal Judge Laurence Silberman dared to break the liberal Omerta of the D.C. Circuit for the Court of Appeals to slap down the far-left network media. He actually called the well oiled propaganda mills “a threat to a viable democracy.” The cancel of conservative thought must end or we’re doomed. “The first step taken by any potential authoritarian or dictatorial regime is to gain control of communications, particularly the delivery of news,” Silberman warns. 1984 is here at last and the surveillance microphone can have a pizza delivered.
Slate — the online magazine known for its provocative content—has indefinitely suspended one of its star podcasters, Mike Peska, for debating with a colleague, on an inter-office messaging platform, whether it is ever appropriate for a non-Black person to use the N-word in the context of a discussion about race.

In defending Slate’s decision, a Black staffer argued that “For Black employees, it’s an extremely small ask to not hear that particular slur and not have debate about whether it’s OK for white employees to use that particular slur.” Not have debate?
