.The “white” problem has been a topic of much debate in the Native American community for centuries, and community leaders have decided the time has come to properly address it.

…”We are prepared to offer White people the option of staying on this continent legally and applying for citizenship,” explains Chief Wamsutta of the Wampanoag nation. 

…Illegal white immigration has been rapidly increasing for nearly 400 years from the European countries of France, Spain and England.  These illegals have ravished the land and colonized areas occupied by the natives.

Derek Redmond’s Emotional Olympic Story – Injury Mid-Race | Barcelona 1992 Olympics 

On By peanutgallerynhIn Media and Culture,Leave a comment

In an act of true courage against adversity, Redmond could only hop on one leg towards the finish line. 

…Half way to the finish line on one leg and crying with desperation, Derek was joined by his father Jim. The moment Redmond crossed the finish line brought sixty-five thousand spectators to their feet in a standing ovation, many also in tears. 

Damn, I am such a sucker for this stuff…
What a great Dad!

Dear Hillary: How Very Dare You! 

On By peanutgallerynhIn Chick Stuff,, Domestic Affairs,Leave a comment

Let me be as candid and transparent as possible: I was a very strong supporter of Bernie Sanders, and until the past four weeks, held out great hope that he would become our next President. Over the course of the past month, I have had to do a great deal of reflecting and ask myself where does this seemingly irrational antipathy for Hillary Clinton come from? Why have I participated in it? After doing some research and looking hard at systemic misogyny, I have had to confront myself with the truth that I bought into a narrative about Hillary Clinton that has been produced, packaged, and perpetuated by mostly the GOP with the help of many democrats and independents.

Man, 55, ‘pulled a veil from a Muslim woman’s face’

Peter Scotter, 55, was in court today accused of ripping a veil from a Muslim woman’s face before throwing it on the floor of a busy shopping centre in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.

Man, 55, ‘pulled a veil from a Muslim woman’s face’

I have said more than once that I disapprove of women covering their faces in public. I also support bans on the practice. For me it is a matter of the rights of all women trump the preferences of a few.

That said…

In no way is this OK. This is assault. Pure and simple.

There is no ban on facial veils in the U.K. and even if there was one, it is not up to the citizenry to enforce such bans. Vigilante morality police that control how women dress are the province of backwards outposts, not civilization. This man violated this woman’s space and should pay a steep price for his actions.

President of Locarno Film Festival defends burka ban

In Switzerland, people show their face and shake hands, Solari said in an interview on Tuesday with newspaper Blick. “Whoever comes here should abide by our rules” he added.

The case of two teenage Muslim brothers at a school in Therwil who refused to shake the hand of their teacher before and after class – a common practice in Swiss schools – generated headlines around the world at the beginning of April.

…The legislation does not specifically mention burkas or Muslims, but states that “nobody in public streets or squares may veil or hide their face”. It doesn’t apply to headscarves.

Muslim woman asked to leave Gary Family Dollar store for wearing traditional Islamic garb

An Indiana Family Dollar manager asked a woman to leave the store for wearing a traditional Islamic veil known as a niqab.

Sigh…

Honestly, I think women who need to cover their entire face should just stay at home instead. The whole idea of a Niqab (and I’m only referring to the fact that it covers the entire face here, removing all individuality from the visage of the woman in question) is a huge slap in the face to those who fought for the advancement and equality of women in our – or any- society. It’s also rather insulting to men because it seems to imply that all men are toddlers who cannot control their impulses. The practice is an abomination.  (Not to mention disrespectful to the first wife of the prophet.)

But! I’m not trying to say women CAN’T go out like that, I’m just saying that I find it disgusting, immoral, and beyond inconsiderate of others.

That said… It’s a shame this woman was thrown out of the store.

I would hope that anyone in the clerk’s position would behave better than this person did to a woman who entered their establishment. Disapprove of other’s choices all you want but still treat people with respect!

Korryn Gaines shooting: US police kill woman as child watched

Korryn Gaines shooting: US police kill woman as child watched – BBC News

Calling this anything that 1st degree murder is a lie.

Any cop who is OK with this, or obstructs and investigation into this is culpable in this crime. Until the police drop the law-evading and law-flaunting thin blue line, very single one of them is guilty of every single sick, twisted, and violent crimes officers across this corrupt, racist, and increasingly fascist country commit. Every single one. Guilty of murder one.

Police have the right to shoot to kill when they are in danger? fine. If they shoot someone who poses no danger they should go directly to jail. Until then they are not upholding the law, they are disrespecting it, and deserve no respect (and no credit for serving the public.)

New study suggests pesticides could lower IQ

On By peanutgallerynhIn Environment,, Modern Parenting,Leave a comment

UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health measured the IQs of 7-year-olds whose mothers in the agricultural Salinas Valley in California. 

…For every 522 pounds of chemical pesticides applied less than 0.6 miles from where the pregnant mother lived, the child’s IQ declined by 2 points, and the child’s verbal reasoning score declined by 3 points. 

…A study published in the journal Pediatrics in 2011 found a link between pesticides in food and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Researchers took urine samples 1,140 children and evaluated them for the symptoms of ADHD. 

They found that the children who met the criteria for ADHD had significantly higher levels of a breakdown product of organophosphate pesticides in their urine.

Watch This CNN Panel Try to Hold It Together When Someone Says Voting For Hillary Is Sexist

On By peanutgallerynhIn Chick Stuff,, Media and Culture,Leave a comment

Right-wing pundit Scottie Nell Hughes appeared on CNN this morning to opine that if someone votes for Hillary Clinton merely because she’s a woman, that is vile sexism. “Why sit there and put favor on one [group]?” Hughes wondered. Now look at what fellow panelists Sally Kohn and Michaela Angela Davis did while she was talking. Look at the actual pain on their faces.
