THE COURAGE TO SAY NO

by John Hindraker

I wrote here about South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem, who is approaching heroic status. She stood alone against the tide of governors issuing stay-home fiats amid the coronavirus panic, taking the principled position that Americans are free people, not subject to arbitrary orders from their governors.
 
What a refreshing idea!

L'Oreal to remove the word 'whitening' from its products

The decision comes as beauty brands receive backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality.

By Vandana Rambaran | Fox News

 

Industry-leading French cosmetics company L'Oreal announced they will be removing words like "whitening" and "lightening" from their products after a number of beauty brands received backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality.

 

"The L'Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products," the company said in a statement.

 

The move signals a shift by beauty giants to stand up against racial stereotypes. L'Oreal's skin brightening creams are amongst the most popular on the market and are targeted towards Asian, African and Caribbean buyers who face a cultural stigma where lighter skin is perceived as more desirable.

 

L'Oreal's promise for change comes a day after consumer products leader Unilever announced they'd be changing the name of their "Fair & Lovely" cream that is popular in Asia for skin lightening

 

The product reportedly generated $500 million in revenue in India last year, according to Yahoo News, but the brand says they are working to acknowledge how their terminology and branding perpetuates racist stereotypes.

California Democrats pass resolution calling for John Wayne Airport to be renamed

The resolution calls for the reversal of the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke.

By Adam Shaw | Fox News

 

California Democrats in Orange County are demanding that the county’s John Wayne Airport be renamed and all likenesses of Wayne be removed from the airport, over “racist and bigoted statements” made by the American icon decades ago.

 

“The Democratic Party of Orange County condemns John Wayne’s racist and bigoted statements, and calls for John Waynes’ name and likeness to be removed from the Orange County airport, and calls on the OC Board of Supervisors to restore its original name: Orange County Airport,” the resolution, passed Friday, says.

The resolution, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, calls on the Orange County Board of Supervisors to reverse the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke, and cites remarks he made in a 1971 interview with Playboy.

“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in that interview nearly 50 years ago.

So, I am guessing that women can't get facials anymore because it is insulting to green people everywhere.

 

The porn industry will never survive.  Wait ... what?  Oh, you meant THOSE facials.  :doh:

 

Nevermind.

Woke censorship is basically a superstitious cult

by Rich Lowry

 

Original Article

 

We live in a society gripped by a quasi-religious fervor — and obsessed with symbols and irrational fears. Anything that is thought to have the slightest association with ­racism, no matter how attenuated the connection or how innocent the explanation, must be crushed and expunged. The mere presence of a possibly offending word is deemed a threat, whether it is truly offensive or any real people have actually taken ­offense. We are engaged in a war with shadowy forces that we can’t truly understand, but must exercise the utmost vigilance, lest they sneak up on us unawares.

or how about "Bullsh&5T Legitimatizes Means"......the true BLM folks are in the minority versus the parasites versus the goals and objectives of their majority....sadly I see many "Stop the Violence" causes launched here in Rochester with respected black clergy leading the charge....these are committed clergy folk from the black community who want the black on black violence to end.......yet they are ignored daily as reported shootings are the norm.....if THEIR leadership and pleas are ignored, now what??..........

.and I certainly agree.....we turned a blind eye to open society tolerance, allowing it to grow blindly to an injurious level, with plenty of blame for all 535 minions for not paying attention.....so here we are......

Christopher Columbus statue removed at Columbus City Hall

WJW-TV [Cleveland, OH], by Talia Naquin

 

Original Article

 

Columbus, Ohio—A Christopher Columbus statue outside Columbus’ City Hall was removed early Wednesday morning. The statue will be placed in storage, according to a press release from Mayor Andrew Ginther’s office, according to our sister station, NBC 4. “For many people in our community, the statue represents patriarchy, oppression and divisiveness. That does not represent our great city, and we will no longer live in the shadow of our ugly past,” said Mayor Ginther. “Now is the right time to replace this statue with artwork that demonstrates our enduring fight to end racism and celebrate the themes of diversity and inclusion.”
