— Christopher Columbus statue toppled, set on fire and thrown into lake in Richmond, Va. – AP (DIERSEN: This is a hate crime.)
https://abc7chicago.com/columbus-statue-thrown-into-lake-in-richmond-va/6240352/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A statue of Christopher Columbus in Richmond was torn down by protesters, set on fire and then thrown into a lake. The figure was toppled less than two hours after protesters gathered in the city’s Byrd Park were chanting for the statue to be taken down, news outlets reported. After the figure was removed from its pedestal around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday by protesters using several ropes, a sign that reads, “Columbus represents genocide” was placed on the spray-painted foundation that once held the statue. It was then set on fire and rolled into a lake in the park, NBC 12 reported. There was no police presence in the park, but a police helicopter was seen circling the area after the city-owned figure was torn down, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. The city’s parks department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the fallen statue from the Associated Press. Earlier during the day, Activist Chelsea Higgs-Wise and other protesters spoke to a crowd gathered at Byrd Park about the struggles of indigenous people and African-Americans in America. “We have to start where it all began,” Higgs-Wise said during her speech. “We have to start with the people who stood first on this land.” The Columbus statue was dedicated in Richmond in December 1927, and had been the first statue of Christopher Columbus erected in the South, the newspaper reported. Its toppling comes amid national protests over the death of George Floyd and several days after a statue of Confederate Gen. Williams Carter Wickham was pulled from its pedestal in Monroe Park by demonstrators who also used ropes to tear it down. Native American advocates have also long pressed states to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day over concerns that Columbus spurred centuries of genocide against indigenous populations in the Americas. Vanessa Bolin, a member of the Richmond Indigenous Society, told the crowd she did not come “to hijack” the protests against police brutality, but to “stand in solidarity” with the people. Another speaker, Joseph Rogers, declared the area “Powhatan land,” and talked about how white supremacy and institutionalized racism has impacted both groups.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Even in the opinion section, only approved thought is permitted. We’re in the dawn of a high-tech, bloodless Cultural Revolution; one that relies on intimidation, public shaming, and economic ruin to dictate what words and ideas are permissible in the public square. “Words are violence” has always been an illiberal notion meant to stifle speech and open discourse. Popularized by a generation of coddled and brittle college students, it now guides policy on editorial pages at newspapers such as the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Times, and most major news outlets.)

— Mandatory Groupthink: Dare to deviate from leftist orthodoxy and be damned – Patricia McCarthy (DIERSEN: Trump-haters promote BLM. How will the leaders of your municipal district, your municipality, your township, your county, and Illinois respond to BLM demands?)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/06/mandatory_groupthink_dare_to_deviate_from_leftist_orthodoxy_and_be_damned.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The stories of people in high office, or any office or job, being fired or forced to resign for past breaches of the prescribed dogma are multiplying by the day. Even the editor of the food and cooking magazine, Bon Appetit, Adam Rapoport, had to resign after his wife posted a seven year-old photo of herself and her husband dressed as Puerto Ricans for a Halloween party, wearing ‘brownface’ makeup. That was it; he was out. A Serbian soccer player, Aleksandar Katai, has been fired because his wife posted something in Serbian that was deemed critical of Black Lives Matter. Stan Wischnowski, 20-year editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer was fired for a headline: Buildings Matter Too! This was considered an offensive mockery of Black Lives Matter. James Bennet, the op-ed editor at the New York Times, was forced to resign after staff complained about his approving of an op-ed by Rep. Tom Cotton supporting the use of our military if needed to quell riots and looting. A majority of Americans agree with the senator but it was a serious transgression at the NYT that has from the moment Trump was elected vowed to dedicate their every published word to his destruction. A woman called radio host Dennis Prager to report that a woman she knew was called on the carpet by her boss for not posting support for BLM on any social media. Her silence was a crime. America has drifted into very dangerous territory. The First Amendment is seriously under attack with the wholesale approval of the Democrat party. The party of JFK is now the party of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the ignorant moonbattery of AOC and her Muslim gal pals Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become something of a joke who has entered Biden’s realm of fast-approaching dementia. Her photo-op stunt of kneeling for nine minutes in honor of George Floyd draped with kente cloth was a ridiculous bit of bad political theater. Kira Davis called it “political blackface.” They did this after excoriating President Trump for walking to St. James Church that had been set on fire by rioters, bible in hand. They called that a photo-op, but it was clearly done to draw attention to the senseless destruction that had occurred. Every corporation, large and small, every restaurant chain, every media outlet and anchor are twisting themselves into pretzels vowing their unctuous servility to what is perhaps just a DNC money-laundering scheme. It appears that contributions to BLM go directly to the DNC. Know that BLM is not what it appears to be. It is a Marxist-Leninist organization but in a way truly antithetical to the values of America that most of us hold dear.)

— The rotten luck of graduating into a recession – Jill Schlesinger (DIERSEN: What year did you graduate from college? I graduated in 1970 from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in management. What negatively impacted your job search? For me, it was my being draft bait. My father had died suddenly in October of 1969. Potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application to support my mother and brother in Crete would be approved. Further, potential employers were under tremendous pressure to hire minorities, females, and veterans. Consequently, I took the only job offer that got — retail sales manager for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. Advancement opportunities were limited and slow. The store’s manager did not approve of my demographics (draft avoider, German-American, and Protestant). He never would have hired me, but Firestone Stores headquarters forced him to take me.)

http://www.wicz.com/story/42219904/the-partisan-chasm-over-systemic-racism-is-on-full-display
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The throngs of protesters demanding systemic changes in policing are marching directly into one of the deepest chasms between the two political parties. The belief that widespread racism is no longer a problem in American society has become one of the core convictions uniting the modern Republican coalition, especially in the Donald Trump era, polls have found. Several academic studies found the belief that discrimination against minorities (and women) is no longer a problem was a far better predictor of support for Trump in 2016 than economic anxiety. Democrats of all races, by contrast, are much more likely to say that discrimination against African Americans, including in their interactions with police, remains a structural feature of American society. In surveys by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, Americans who support Trump were far more likely than those who don’t to say that police shootings of black men are only isolated incidents and to claim that discrimination against whites is now as great a problem as bias against minorities. This contrast looms heavily over the partisan reaction to the current eruption of protest. Since George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis last month, a chorus of prominent conservative voices have insisted it is a “lie” to describe racial discrimination as a pervasive problem. And, while some polls conducted amid the upsurge of protest hint that more Republicans may see discrimination as a problem, generally the surveys have documented the persistence of a huge gap between the parties on the issue. That divergence has big implications for both policy and politics. In policy terms, it helps explain why Trump’s Justice Department, while initiating an inquiry into the specific circumstances of Floyd’s death, has effectively shelved efforts under former President Barack Obama to examine systematic bias in city police departments through so-called pattern and practice investigations. Appearing Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Attorney General William Barr rejected such an investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department and argued that while individual “bad cops” remain a problem in forces around the country, “I don’t think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist.” Politically, the heightened focus on police behavior and racial inequities more broadly could compel Trump to squeeze out bigger margins and turnout from the white constituencies most skeptical that racism remains a widespread problem, in order to offset what could be a further decline in November among the groups in all races that do consider bias an enduring blight on American life. In that way, this latest crisis could force Trump to further double down on the underlying political bet he is imposing on the GOP: squeezing bigger margins from shrinking groups at the price of alienating groups in society that are growing. Brian Schaffner, a political scientist at Tufts University who has conducted some of the central research on the role of racist and sexist attitudes in the 2016 vote, says that prospect leaves Trump navigating a very thin path. Comparing the election results in 2018 with those in 2016, his research found that House Republican candidates lost more ground among voters who agree that racism and sexism remain problems than they gained among those who do not. “In 2018, Republican House candidates paid a pretty significant penalty for being tied to his racist and sexist views,” Schaffner says. Trump faces the same risk in November, he believes. Partisan opinion gap emerges — and widens American public opinion about race is complex and contradictory, and, particularly among whites, it has not moved in a straight line. But the general pattern is that for decades most Americans, especially whites, concluded — despite evidence to the contrary — that the civil rights revolution of the 1960s defanged racial discrimination and created a situation in which African Americans had equal opportunity with whites. . .Trump’s reelection chances could be affected Schaffner, the political scientist, says there is “a lot to unpack” to understand why many whites, primarily but not entirely in the GOP, reject the idea that discrimination is an ongoing problem.)
