    ‘Culchie’ among 400 words to be banned in Scrabble as game becomes more politically correct.

    Mattel said its intervention, which is the first time it has sought to remove words, was a political decision in response to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
    What is wrong with Culchie.

    I'm proud to be a Culchie.

    Judging by recent events, they also want no red areas.
    Quick search, I found the following about the drop in prices in New York city, due to Covid-19 AND the BLM nonsense.


    http://housingbubble.blog/?p=4669
    “Still, New York City landlords are digging out of a deep hole. The city has estimated that the value of Manhattan office buildings will drop 25%, with hotels worth 31% less. Apartment rents have slid amid a flood of vacancies, while key retail corridors are plagued by empty storefronts. New York commercial mortgage-backed securities saw a surge in delinquent loans over the past year, reaching a total balance of $5.8 billion in March, according to data firm Trepp. That equates to an overall delinquency rate of 5.77%.”
    “Office availability, meanwhile, is at the highest level in at least 30 years, worse than it was after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the financial crisis.
    A report from Patch New York. “New Yorkers on the hunt for deals on one-bedroom apartments might want to start looking near the closest subway stop. Rents fell around 418 out of 473 stops across the city during the coronavirus pandemic

    Black Lives Matter protesters in Minnesota dropped to a knee and set off to march over a fatal police shooting.

    But they stopped after they learned the victim was white.

    The irony of doing so to fight against racial discrimination and then changing attitude because of the victim race LOL!

    BLM will go down in history as the most ridiculous social movement

    Some sense from the Olympics? (If it happens at all) https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/taking-knee-raising-fist-be-punished-tokyo-games-ioc-2021-04-21/

    Taking a knee, raising a fist to be punished at Tokyo Games
    Taking a knee during the Tokyo Olympics or lifting a fist in support of racial equality will be punished as the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday maintained its ban on athletes' protests inside stadiums, at ceremonies and on podiums.

    The IOC's Rule 50 forbids any kind of "demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda" in venues and any other Olympic area and the Games body concluded the rule should be maintained following an athlete consultation.

    It's unclear why BLM keeps attacking patrons at restaurants.
    Here the patrons are pushed up against a wall and yes, one has a derringer.

    I am curious as to what the equipment in question is. It can include clothes or typewriters.... Everyone always assumes guns and armored vehicles, but they constitute the minority of the transfers.

    BLM in action.

    A shooting happened on Interstate 225 in Aurora on a 2020 Saturday evening in the midst of the chaos when a Jeep drove through a crowd of protesters who were gathered to protest the death of Elijah McClain.

    The vehicle didn’t make contact with anyone.

    Samuel Young is accused of shooting at the Jeep as it came down the interstate and two protesters where the ones who were hurt.
    He is tentatively charged with four counts of attempted murder.

    What was different between what Young did, and what Kyle Rittenhouse did, in your view?

    Kyle Rittenhouse shot people who were actively engaged in committing an assault against him. Kyle was retreating each time he shot someone. Self-defence in my book.

    Young fired on a vehicle that wasn't a threat. Young shot two bystanders, Rittenhouse only shot attackers.
    Rittenhouse was under attack when he fired. At least one assailant was armed with a handgun.

    What's your own opinion of the difference? Something must have caused you to make that specific connection.

    Here we see the car at speed driving towards the crowd that had gathered on the road.
    The jeep doesn't try to hit anyone, but also it doesn't slow or stop. The people are moving to the sides.

    Protestors throw objects at car and then also fire shots at it.
    This is when Samuel Young fires his gun but misses the car and instead hits people across the road.


    The lesson here? Don't stand on an Interstate.

    Got to love that headline . "Jeep mows into crowd...", Jeep doesn't come within 5ft of anyone as it escapes people attacking it.

    Young missed and hit people who weren't perceived a threat, for starters.
    It can also be argued that there wasn't a threat in the first place. The helicopter footage seems to indicate that the road ahead was clear and the jeep wasn't a threat to anyone.

    She's may not be the nicest person in the world and I find her views abhorrent but she's entitled to express them. Making a martyr of someone is never a good idea.

    Also, given the content of the tweet above, why do Sky News call her an "Equal Rights Activist". She clearly isn't.

    But she's not entitled to a platform - isn't this what it's said to the conservatives?

    I'm not a fan of censorship at all but that tweet is disgustingly racist and if the playing field is to be equal, I'm ok with this getting her banned.

    Hardly a martyr.

    No indication as yet the shooting was politically motivated. From the initial police statements, it seems much more likely she was collateral damage in some local feud.

    Ms Johnson, who got a first in social care at Oxford Brookes university, has "an immense passion for implementing change and justice and has been actively supporting the eradication of injustices in society by attending and leading protests", according to her page on the TTIP website.

    Supposedly wanting to make white men slaves is eradicating injustice. While the woke clearly hate the white man, they seem to hate proper usage of the English language even more.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Yeah, the "far right", or whoever may have issues with her on the other side, aren't known for their use of guns. No in the UK at least.

    I'm not a fan of censorship at all but that tweet is disgustingly racist and if the playing field is to be equal, I'm ok with this getting her banned.

    That's not her real account though. Here it is:

    https://twitter.com/Sashapanther93

    Someone on Reddit did some digging and found it:
    That was a fake Twitter account opened in her name.

    Sasha Johnson herself claims the tweet has been fabricated by trolls, that she never said that and would never say that.

    I did some research on it. Here's what I found:

    This is the first reference to the tweet that can be found, on Aug 26, 2020. It comes after the ban.
    There is only this one screenshot, taken 6 hours after posting, leaving out the number of retweets, comments etc.
    If you google sashajohnsonblm which is the account name used for that tweet, there is no mention of it before Aug 26, 2020 at all, no other tweet, no link, not a single outraged reaction. Seems unlikely.
    She doesn't use the "blm" as part of her account name on any other platform, on Instagram for example she's thesashajohnson. The "blm" in the account name is very useful for propaganda purposes against BLM though
    The profile image used for the account seems to be this Shutterstock image. Would she use a stock image as her profile image? Seems unlikely.
    This is her actual Twitter account, it was opened directly after news of her alleged ban got shared throughout the internet. In her first tweet she corrected the record. The account is still active.
    Update:

    Here's the archived version of the account which has some more very obvious hints at it being fake:

    Describing herself as "Oxford Black Lives Matter Leader" which she never was, she just spoke at BLM rallies in Oxford
    No activity except for a flurry of racist tweets on a single day and a retweet of an old white man with a Hong Kong flag in his profile criticizing a self-described socialist journalist - yeah that's totally what a BLM activist would do
    Based on her denial and all the circumstantial evidence suggesting manipulation, I'm very convinced it's fake.

    If anyone can provide evidence to the contrary, I'm open to it.

    https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/njgx8w/black_lives_matter_activist_sasha_johnson_in/gz7mt7d/

    The account has been suspended by Twitter suggesting that it is some sort of far right disinformation tool.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    The death threats she claimed to have received are not deemed credible by police (at least not yet).
    It appears she was just shot by mistake.
