Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??

LOL.

 

 

BREAKING NEWS FROM 1348: PLAGUE HITS LONDON; WOMEN, MINORITIES HARDEST HIT! BBC: 

 

Black women most likely to die in medieval London plague. But there’s a slight problem with the story, revealed in the second to last paragraph:

 

Dr Rebecca Redfern, from the Museum of London, said: “We have no primary written sources from people of colour and those of black African descent during the Great Pestilence of the 14th Century, so archaeological research is essential to understanding more about their lives and experiences.

 

On the other hand:

 

So if the black population of London was not statistically significant in the 14th century, then of course it affected them “at a higher rate.” If you have 50 black women in London and 45 of them died of the plague, that is definitely a higher percentage than how many white men or women died of the plague when their numbers were insanely higher.

 

But the other problem with their conclusion is that it’s a scientific conclusion you can’t test or challenge. There isn’t going to be a massive outbreak of Bubonic Plague in London in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-three, and the last pandemic we had (the COVID-19 one) wasn’t a racist one either, despite what the social scientists would like to say. Co-morbidities, socioeconomic status, and access to healthcare were bigger factors (when you look at the actual data), but it’s easier to blame “modern structural racism” than those factors.

 

Again, though, one point needs to be made clear: Plagues, bacteria, and fleas are incapable of being racist. That didn’t stop these researchers — from Michigan and Colorado, by the way — from claiming that they are.

 

 

In 2023, isn’t everything?

Hate Crime Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Is Going Back to Jail After Losing His Appeal

 

9876028b-fad5-4461-a565-e6c81b2f04d1-105

 

 

An Illinois appeals court upheld actor Jussie Smollett's conviction for a staged hate crime in an opinion filed Friday.

Quote

 

The decision was 2-1, with Justice David Navarro and Justice Mary Ellen Coghlan agreeing. Judge Freddrenna Lyle dissented, according to court documents

Smollett's legal team will file an appeal with the Supreme Court.

"We wish to highlight that the decision was divided, with Justice Lyle offering a detailed analysis in favor of Smollett," his rep Holly Baird told Fox News Digital." We are preparing to escalate this matter to the Supreme Court, armed with a substantial body of evidence."

 

 

Smollett, who is a gay black man, created the controversy when he told Chicago police that he had been beaten by racist and homophobic assailants who happened to be supporters of former President Donald Trump. “This is MAGA county,” the actor claimed his attackers said while beating him.

 

What started out as a manhunt for the alleged attackers soon shifted to an investigation of Smollett himself. This led to his arrest on charges of orchestrating the attack and deceiving police.
