All things Racist...USA edition (5 Viewers)

TORONTO (AP) — Decades after many other rich countries stopped forcibly sterilizing Indigenous women, numerous activists, doctors, politicians and at least five class-action lawsuits say the practice has not ended in Canada.

A Senate report last year concluded “this horrific practice is not confined to the past, but clearly is continuing today.” In May, a doctor was penalized for forcibly sterilizing an Indigenous woman in 2019.

Indigenous leaders say the country has yet to fully reckon with its troubled colonial past — or put a stop to a decades-long practice that is considered a type of genocide.

There are no solid estimates on how many women are still being sterilized against their will or without their knowledge, but Indigenous experts say they regularly hear complaints about it. Sen. Yvonne Boyer, whose office is collecting the limited data available, says at least 12,000 women have been affected since the 1970s.



“Whenever I speak to an Indigenous community, I am swamped with women telling me that forced sterilization happened to them,” Boyer, who has Indigenous Metis heritage, told The Associated Press.

Medical authorities in Canada’s Northwest Territories issued a series of punishments in May in what may be the first time a doctor has been sanctioned for forcibly sterilizing an Indigenous woman, according to documents obtained by the AP.

The case involves Dr. Andrew Kotaska, who performed an operation to relieve an Indigenous woman’s abdominal pain in November 2019. He had her written consent to remove her right fallopian tube, but the patient, an Inuit woman, had not agreed to the removal of her left tube; losing both would leave her sterile.

Despite objections from other medical staff during the surgery, Kotaska took out both fallopian tubes.

The investigation concluded there was no medical justification for the sterilization, and Kotaska was found to have engaged in unprofessional conduct. Kotaska’s “severe error in surgical judgment” was unethical, cost the patient the chance to have more children and could undermine trust in the medical system, investigators said.


The case was likely not exceptional.…..

The follow-up video was even worse. He did an impression of Sheila Jackson Lee and named two hypothetical African American men Ramon and Cadillac.

When Black Ivy League graduates aren't as good as college dropouts

"But at least I dropped out of a college I got into on my own merits"
============================================

............Obama graduated from Princeton University and then Harvard Law School. Jackson graduated from Harvard then got her law degree there.

Reid graduated from Harvard and became a fellow at the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism. Jackson Lee graduated from Yale and earned a law degree from the University of Virginia.

Kirk, on the other hand, dropped out of college.

Of course, that didn’t stop him from carrying his racist screed even further, envisioning a fantasy scenario on an airplane in which an announcement is made, saying, “in the spirit of affirmative we have Ramon and Cadillac as your two pilots,” adding, “they’ve never flown before but they are Black.”

Then Kirk mockingly pretends to respond in a fake, shrill, panicky Jackson Lee voice.............

You know it's the end times when Republicans become adversarial with the DOJ, the FBI, the military and corporate America.

“There’s no racism in America if leftists would stop taking about it.”

For some current events:

Is calling this song, about riots and violence, racist in fact actually racist? Meaning, the lyrics talk about car jacking, sucker punch (the knock out game) and armed robbery. The left's attempt to virtue signal that this is racist is actually showing that they believe these crimes are a specific to a certain race. I think their (the left's) true colors are showing. What is the saying, 'when people show you who they are, believe them'? As most on here know and have been discussed, the violence and riots of the summer of Floyd were not just the black community. Are there even black Antifa members?

I think the answer is that they know the song is not racist but they don't like the song, so as we have also seen here on this board, if someone says something the left does not like, that thing is then considered racist thereby making anyone who disagrees with them, a racist in return. Also works with 'white supremecy' and 'nazi'. Just my take on this whole thing.

Good song too btw.

Do you not agree that the song is clearly alluding to vigilante justice in small towns full of “good old boys” with guns? Taking care of “their own”?

I don’t see how you could say that isn’t what it’s about - that’s clearly what it’s about.

Starting with that undeniable fact, the lyrics themselves aren’t racist. But if you don’t recognize that vigilante justice in small towns in America where “good old boys” go around with their guns has a deeply troubled racist history in this country, you need a history lesson. And it isn’t ancient history either.

It’s too intense to deny that singing proudly about small town vigilante justice at the hands of good old boys who take care of their own conjures racism.

I saw a great thread on this from Michael Harriot last night.

“Lynching carol”

Rural America has higher rates of just about everything bad. They need to get their act together and take better care of each other. Nobody wants to go to a small town, that's why they're all dead.

- From a life long city and suburban dweller.

And Aldeen isn't even from a small rural town. The right sure loves its posers .
