"‘Extremely offensive’: George Washington students launch petition to change Colonials nickname. They prefer ‘Hippos."
You have got to be kidding me?
LOL. What a crock full of shit. Learn some U.S. history at GW kid.
LOL
"In February, Chua said, the Student Association held the first “Hippo Day,” handing out cupcakes and stickers of hippopotamuses. “It was a fun event,” Chua said. “We tried to amplify calling ourselves the hippos rather than the Colonials.”"
It is hard to believe how far our universities have fallen; most are little more than psychology clinics and brainwashing centers.
A white ATF Officer was shot in the head yesterday in the south side of Chicago by a black man. The local news is on at my work and about 20 min into the start of it, they talked for about 30 seconds about it.

Sad state of affairs.

I saw a blurb on national news.....sounded like he was undercover.

Pretty much. It certainly seems like this country is going further left and toward more socialism. Some polls seem to show maybe millenials are starting to shift, but I think that shift is overwhelmed by the growing minority voters the Dems are attracting. That's why they continue to double and triple down on identity politics, because they've already convinced those people they can't vote for racist Republicans, so all that's left is to convince them to turn out to vote.

Have you been watching any of the Kanye West saga play out? It's hilarious. Except for not all of it, unfortunately. Snoop Dogg's cousin apparently put a Crip hit out on Kanye:

LOL....yeah, it's very rather Trump of Kanye.
I'm shocked. Who da thunk Kanye was an Uncle Tom? I mean, when I joked about Kanye running in 2020 I always assumed it would be as a Democrat.

A couple of hundred years ago when a slave escaped the plantation their masters called out the dogs and put a hit out. I guess not much has changed.

But wait, if he runs in 2020, and not as a Democrat, would he be opposing Trump in the primaries?

That would be funny. Trump makes sense even if he's goofy. Kanye can't get his thoughts in order enough to make sense in a common sort of way. You have to listen intently to figure out what he's trying to say. But he's still goofy in some ways.

Most of the festivities surrounding #CincodeMayo in the US are textbook examples of cultural appropriation, relegating the history and culture of Mexican people to novelty items. Mexican culture cannot be reduced to tacos, oversized sombreros and piñatas.
That should scare you, as social media groups let splc determine what are “hate” groups.
Reminder, cultural appropriation isn’t a thing. Bet the Mexican restaurant owners are ecstatic white people celebrate a made up holiday.
A new study found that 39 percent of "top-tier liberal arts colleges" in the United States don't have any Republicans on their faculties.
The study by the National Association of Scholars also found that the Democratic-to-Republican ratio was 10.4:1 among 8,688 Ph.D.-holding professors.
The ratio is 12.7:1 when two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis, are removed from the sample.
Yeah, let's pay $50k a year for a 'well-rounded' education.

Those numbers are kind of hard to believe, especially for PhD candidates (many of whom will go to the private sector, so there's no real pressure to support a certain agenda).
As for the faculty numbers, my guess is the Republicans are in the closet. I don't doubt they're a small minority, but I think it's more the case that they just aren't registering or identifying as Republican in order to avoid issues with colleagues.
Or is the study trying to say that the average Democrat is better educated and have higher IQs? :b

You might be on to something.....smart Repubs - enterprising capitalists - trend toward the private sector. The communist/liberals trend toward academia and public service.

76 people were wounded in shootings last week alone in Chicago, including children, and 9 deaths. Blame ARs though, amirite?
