Zyahna Bryant Monetizes Obesity Still More

Militant racist Zyahna Bryant — who ruined the life of Morgan Bettinger for being white — has monetized her morbid obesity via cultural Marxism by presenting it as an oppressed identity. Dove is driving away costumers with sensitive stomachs by presenting this monstrosity as the face of its products. Thanks to the willful stupidity of liberals, the greedy Zyahna is wringing still more cash from being fat:

An online fundraiser has been launched to pay for security for Black Lives Matter activist Zyahna Bryant — whose partnership with Dove to promote “fat liberation” sparked controversy after she was accused of getting a white student expelled over “misheard” comments.

Zyahna’s whole schtick is to pretend to be a victim. Now we are told her life is at risk because racism and fatphobia. So pony up to show what a devout liberal you are. Others have:

The GoFundMe — which had raised nearly $10,000 by Sunday – was created last week by Erica Chapman, a Charlottesville, Virginia, woman who claims she is Bryant’s cousin.

Zyahna claims to have received threats.

The nature of the threats against Bryant was unclear. It also wasn’t known was kind of security measures she may be receiving.

Reads the pitch:

“Please help Zyahna’s friends and family support her by ensuring she’s SAFE and protected as she continues her important work assisting and elevating marginalized people and communities.”

Moonbats and their money are easily parted, as the fortune that was flushed down Black Lives Matter and into oblivion testifies. This is fine, when they limit the politically motivated profligacy to their own money. Usually, they use Big Government to waste ours.

ESPN Features Professional Racist Ibram X. Kendi

Even the moonbats running Boston University are starting to back away from professional racist Ibram X. Kendi. But he can still find support even further on the left. What’s out there past academia? ESPN:

“Skin in the Game with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi” will debut on ESPN+ on Sept. 20, according to a news release from the network. The series “delves into and challenges racism in the sports world, and will reveal how pervasive racism is in sports.”

They mean racism against blacks. In the sports industry. Next, they should do a show on the epidemic of Islamophobia in Iran.

It is doubtful that he is getting $333 per minute for this, as he has for vomiting Critical Race Theory onto children. ESPN’s owner Disney has deep pockets, but not infinite resources like the government, which can always print more money when it runs out.

Kendi is associated with the term antiracism. He explains what it means:

“An antiracist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial equity between racial groups.”

That is, antiracism is the failure to impose his racist ideology.

As for what “racist” means, Kendi can’t say.

The purpose of ESPN is to deliver leftist propaganda sugar-coated in sports. When the mind has been lulled into a stupor, there is less resistance to indoctrination. However, it has been getting so ham-fisted in its moonbattery that only someone who has already been brainwashed can watch it. Imagine trying to sit through this:

Ibram X. Kendi Wearing Out His Welcome?

Race hustler Ibram X. Kendi has had tremendous success monetizing his hatred of Caucasians. But his low IQ, vile personality, and general uselessness might be catching up to him:

The Boston University Center for Antiracist Research fired between 15 and 20 employees, multiple outlets have reported.

“Antiracist” is Liberalese for “racist against whites.”

Kendi began the center in June 2020 at the peak of a movement to defund police…

The liberal establishment-backed mania for extolling Black Lives Matter and crippling local police predictably drove crime rates through the stratosphere. It appears to be subsiding — at least until Democrats find nationwide race riots expedient again.

The move marks a dramatic shift compared to the research center’s staffing in August, which listed 45 employees just one month ago, according to a since-deleted page on the center’s website.

Despite his lofty stature as a professional racist, Kendi cannot define the term racism. He is such a jerk that he denounced Amy Coney Barrett as a committer of colonialism for rescuing Haitian children from poverty by adopting them.

The winds might be changing. Not long ago, Kendi was raking in massive donations from white liberals eager to virtue signal how much they loathe themselves. Former Twitter head Jack Dorsey gave him $10 million. The Rockefeller Foundation kicked in $1.5 million. Public schools have paid him as much as $333 per minute to vomit Critical Race Theory onto children.

If Kendi is wearing out his welcome even at hyperliberal Boston University, we may have the high water mark of moonbattery behind us.

Antiracist Perspective on Atomic Mass of Boron

Leftists have managed to subvert the education establishment even in fields that have nothing to do with politics because professors have been keeping their heads down in terror of being denounced as racists or homophobes and losing their jobs. But there are a few with the guts to defend their field of study from being reduced to Lysenkoist rubbish:

Six California college professors are suing the state over diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) requirements they say force them to take the government’s view on “politically charged” topics.

Such requirements are so absurdly intrusive these days that applicants must demonstrate their devotion to moonbattery to be considered for a position as a cancer biologist.

“I’m a professor of chemistry. How am I supposed to incorporate DEI into my classroom instruction?” said Reedley College professor Bill Blanken. “What’s the ‘anti-racist’ perspective on the atomic mass of boron?”

Anyone who would have to ask must be a racist and is subject to cancelation — unless enough people push back for sanity to be restored.

The professors are concerned that they will face disciplinary action or termination if they don’t align with California community college DEIA requirements.

The guidelines specifically denounce the concept of “merit” as being an aspect of whiteness, which of course must be abolished in the name of inclusivity.

Under the guidelines, professors must develop “knowledge of the intersectionality of social identities and the multiple axes of oppression that people from different racial, ethnic, and other minoritized groups face.” Professors are also directed to teach using a “collectivism perspective” and “social justice lens,” according to the lawsuit.

Imagine trying to get a teaching job after you have been fired for being racist. The first to show backbone are always the ones with the most of it.

Ilham Omar Calls for Muslim-LGBT Solidarity

Since Ilhan Omar likes Islam so much that she trivialized the terror atrocities of September 11, why did she come to the USA instead of an Islamic theocracy like Iran? Because in Iran, instead of being a powerful member of the nomenklatura, she would likely find herself dangling from a construction crane along with the sexual eccentrics she promotes:

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota wants American Muslims to practice “solidarity” with homosexuals and gender-confused people…

Omar (one of four female minority Democrats in Congress collectively known as “the Squad” for their leftist solidarity) suggested that, because Muslims and people who identify as LGBT are both supposedly “marginalized communit[ies]” in the United States, the former should not “punch down” against the latter.

Considering that LGBT militants sit atop the power structure, it would be impossible for anyone to “punch down” at them — except that Omar is speaking Liberalese, an Orwellian dialect in which everything is called the diametric opposite of what it is. For example, murdering babies before they are born is called “reproductive healthcare.” Gender-denying sex change procedures are called “gender-affirming care.” Resistance to LBGT bullying is “punching down.”

The American Left has anointed itself an “ally” of both Muslims and LGBTs, as part of their claims to a monopoly on representing the interests of all racial, religious, and sexual minorities in a society supposedly rigged against them.

This defines Cultural Marxism, the leftist strategy of destroying American society by inflaming identity groups and playing them off against the core population. The glue that holds the Cultural Marxist coalition together is hatred of normal Americans. It is not sticky enough to adhere Muslims to the Alphabet People.

Islam teaches that homosexuality is a grave sin punishable by death, and to this day, majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East subject homosexuals to criminal penalties, violence, and alleged abuse unheard of in America…

You can only worship one god. The Church of England proves that you cannot be both a Christian and a moonbat. You can’t be both a Muslim and a moonbat either. However, Omar should hang onto the headscarf, because it enhances her popularity among liberals.

Moonbattery as a Disability

Instead of pretending that every identity group that votes for leftists is somehow oppressed so that each can be granted special privileges at everyone else’s expense, why not cut to the chase and declare moonbattery itself to be a disability? Europe shows the way:

A high-flying banker’s obsession with avoiding germs and eating organic food amounts to a disability, an employment judge has ruled.

The London executive, who worked at Swiss bank UBS, was ruled to be disabled after claiming she was discriminated against at work.

In outlining her case, the finance exec, who was described as having a ‘successful career,’ claimed anxiety and a panic disorder saw her become fixated on her health.

This saw her obsess over the negative effects of germs, chemicals, non-organic foods and take ‘extreme steps’ to avoid them. …

A judge at the London Central Employment Tribunal said this fixation should be considered a disability under the UK’s Equality Act 2020.

She’s wacky, all right — even if not any wackier than the judge.

The City banker’s fixation with health saw her drive for two hours to buy groceries from a specialist organic farm shop, Daylesford Organic Farm, in the Cotswold’s on the weekends. …

Anxieties around contaminated air saw the executive buy a £1,000 air purifier, which she dragged ‘up and down the stairs’ each day.

In short, the banking exec has been granted precious victim status for being a neurotic kook.

On this side of the Atlantic, we call neurotic kooks “Democrats.” Why not declare all of them disabled and then abolish all other identity group privileges?

This would prevent conflicts in the Oppression Olympics, whereby groups that should be allied against regular Americans in accordance with the principles of cultural Marxism instead fight each other over who is more pathetic and therefore more deserving of favoritism.

Better still, it would prevent the bestowal of privilege upon the undeserving. If we are to judge by skin tone, Clarence Thomas is blacker than Barack Obama, but who would want the former to lay claim to the same special treatment when he openly flouts the ideology that has been assigned to his race?

By establishing moonbattery as the one and only disability, we can ensure that only the deserving receive privilege. This general principle has already been applied to our legal system, creating the two-tiered justice system that allows the Biden crime family to rake in $millions through influence peddling without consequence, whereas Donald Trump is repeatedly indicted for nothing much in particular.

There is of course a downside. If moonbattery is the only measure of who is oppressed and therefore deserving of privilege, entire academic fields will wither away. What’s the point of incurring a lifetime of debt to earn a PhD in Intersectional Victimhood Studies when the very concept of political intersectionality has been abolished?

Cultural Marxist Brainwashing Now Mandatory at SUNY

Leftism has subverted every college subject, including even medicine (see here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.). But that’s no reason not to put each and every student through reeducation bootcamp. If North Korea’s rulers were in charge of American universities, they would run them like SUNY:

The State University of New York will institute a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice course into its core curriculum across its 64 campuses beginning next fall for every incoming student.

There is to be no escape. Only by taking other classes in leftist radicalism can students avoid this one.

Students are not there to receive the education they want in exchange for tuition payments (plus lavish taxpayer subsidies). They are there to be put through a meat grinder and come out the other end as intellectually homogenous moonbats ready to serve the liberal establishment.

The new course will “explore race, class, and gender identity,” according to SUNY officials.

They will not be told anything bad about favored groups (blacks, homosexuals, women, Muslims) or anything good about disfavored groups (whites, nonperverts, men, Christians). They are to be trained on who to love and who to hate. Unless they spout the correct rhetoric, their GPAs will suffer.

Professors are not allowed to deviate from the socially corrosive leftist viewpoint. According to a fact sheet provided by SUNY educrats,

In fulfilling the learning outcomes for the DEISJ category, courses must explicitly address how institutional and societal structures lead to inequities across groups.

Dissident professors who stress forbidden concepts like liberty, individuality, merit, and personal responsibility are likely to lose their jobs.

The stated purpose is “closing racial equity gaps.” That can only be achieved by holding us down to a lowest common denominator. Refer to the black majority country of your choice to see what the social engineers have in mind for America’s future.

Mandatory diversity/equity/inclusion (i.e., cultural Marxism) indoctrination is already imposed on the 23 campuses of the California State University system.

Some ideologies can’t stand on their own. They have to be imposed by force.

Small wonder that recent college graduates are unprepared for work. Work is oppression anyway.

Liberals Find Transgender Lesbian of Color They Hate

When combined with also being a moonbat, being a Woman of Color qualifies people for impressive positions like Supreme Court Justice and even Vice President of the USA. Add lesbian to the résumé and you can be the mouthpiece for the White House. Imagine how impressive a Transgender Lesbian of Color must be. Stand back in awe of Delaware, Indiana County Councilmember Ryan Webb:

“After much consideration I have decided to come out and finally feel comfortable announcing my true authentic self,” Webb wrote. “It is with great relief that I announce to everyone that I identify as a woman and not just any woman but as a woman of color as well. I guess this would make me gay/lesbian as well, since I am attracted to women.

“Whew, that felt good to finally get that out there and start living life as my true self,” he wrote. “I’m excited to bring some diversity to the county council. Until today we didn’t have any females of color or LGBTQIAPC+++ on the council. I’m glad that now we do!”

There is so much here for progressives to celebrate. Yet they disregard his lived experience as a Transgender Lesbian of Color and callously refuse to affirm his identity.

True, Webb is a Republican. But why hate him for being who he is? How do they know he wasn’t born that way?

Charlize Jamieson, himself a Person of Transgenderness, went so far as to denounce Webb as a bigot. Others have expressed their liberal tolerance by doxing him:

“It is unfortunate, but a group called Indiana Progressives has decided to organize a hate and harassment campaign against me and my family,” Webb said in a statement to WISH TV8, “by publishing my address and encouraging people to unlawfully congregate at my home. … I have to look out for the safety of my family, including our 6 children. There are people with serious mental health issues encouraging people who are unwelcome to come to my home…”

Unsurprisingly, Webb has received death threats.

Best wishes for the safety of Webb and his family. Even a guy who identifies as a member of the opposite sex could get caught up in the ongoing wave of transgender violence (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, etc.).

Privileges Demanded for Flying While Fat

Make room — and plenty of it — for the next belligerently oppressed identity group: the grotesquely obese.

Real news spinoff Not the Bee pulls ahead of the Babylon Bee in the race toward absolute absurdity:

Morbidly obese “plus-size influencer” who goes by “JaeBae” has started a change.org petition demanding the FAA and airlines give fat flyers as many free extra seats as they need to accommodate their girth.

From the petition, which over 5,400 have signed:

Air travel should be comfortable and accessible for everyone, regardless of size. … The lack of a uniform customer-of-size airline policy is unacceptable and must be addressed.

That is, government coercion must be applied through the FAA. Demands include:

All plus-size passengers should be provided with an extra free seat, or even two or three seats depending on their size, to accommodate their needs and ensure their comfort during the flight.

Looks like airlines will need a whole new fleet of redesigned planes:

Airlines must provide additional airport assistance to plus-size travelers if necessary, including wheelchair assistance and priority boarding. Airlines should also create accommodations for larger passengers, such as larger bathrooms, seat belt extenders, and alternative seating arrangements.

Indoctrination in CRT and LGBT victimology is imposed throughout society. JaeBae wants something similar:

Airlines and government agencies that regulate the airline industry must train all employees on how to accommodate plus-size travelers, including handling sensitive situations and providing appropriate customer service.

Surprisingly, she doesn’t mention free seconds, thirds, and fourths on inflight meals.

The rest of us will have to pay more to provide free seats to those who let their weight get out of control. It’s what we deserve for not being clever enough to find a way to qualify as victims.

As always, “fair treatment for everyone” means “special treatment for us.”

Professor Eric Stewart Appears to Be Race Fraud

Not all of the racial fraud in academia relates to phonies claiming privilege by pretending not to be white. Florida State University Associate Professor and 2005 W.E.B. Du Bois Fellow Eric Stewart looks black enough. Yet he appears to be a race fraud:

The Florida Standard reports that Eric Stewart, a fellow of the American Society of Criminology, has had six studies retracted in recent years, after being accused of falsifying data first in 2019 by a professor named Justin Pickett from the University of Albany.

Stewart’s focus has been on racial data and research. That’s where the grant money is.

Pickett says he asked that a study he was involved with be retracted because the data was altered to the point of mathematical impossibility.

The study reported that as populations of black and Hispanic Americans grew, the public desire for discriminatory sentences also grew. However, Pickett later noticed that the sample size of the study somehow grew from 500 to over 1,000 and the number of counties polled dropped from 326 to 91.

Sometimes you have to cook the numbers so they come out politically correctly. That’s how we know math is racist.

Stewart responded by squealing that Pickett “essentially lynched me.”

Pickett told the Florida Standard that there is a “huge monetary incentive to falsify data and there’s no accountability. If you do this, the probability you’ll get caught is so, so low.”

Even so, academics have not been able to fabricate a factual framework for Critical Race Theory to rest upon that passes the laugh test. But at least they are trying. That proves they are good people, not lynchers like Pickett.

Unintended Consequences of DEI Brainwashing

John Stossel observes that all major companies require employees to undergo indoctrination in cultural Marxism — a.k.a. diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Utopia has been achieved; we now live in a climate of totalitarian political correctness. It isn’t working as promised:

For the $billions per year thrown at irritating DEI moonbattery, the return on investment would be negative — if liberal social engineers really wanted to help blacks and reduce racism. Actually, they deliberately keep down blacks and create racial resentment where it didn’t exist, because the ideology of our degenerate ruling class requires an underclass of floundering losers righteously oppressed by the alleged racism of the white middle class.

That pernicious ideology needs to be rejected in favor of EMC (equality [as opposed to equity], merit, colorblindness).

Here’s someone who gets what DEI and Critical Race Theory have been doing to blacks:

Los Angeles Times Blames Whites for Car Smog

According to the media and education establishments, whites are bad because they are oppressors; identity groups favored by Democrats are good because they are oppressed. This applies to all aspects of existence, even the smog that characterizes Los Angeles, according to a recent excretion of the LA Times:

The article, by Sammy Roth, comments on a recent study by scholars at the University of Southern California who found that “all else equal, tracts whose residents drive less are exposed to more air pollution, as are tracts with a less-White population.”

State and local government alone spends hundreds of $billions per year on higher education. This money is extracted from us forcibly through taxation and inflation. You can see why so much of the funding has to be on a coercive basis; few would pay for this pernicious nonsense voluntarily.

The study blamed urban planning that put freeways through black and Latino neighborhoods (though there may be a cause-and-effect problem, as neighborhoods with freeways may be more affordable and convenient for black and Latino households migrating to the city to find jobs and opportunities).

The effect of this moonbattery is not only to whip up hostility against scapegoated whites in accordance with cultural Marxism, but to cause economic dysfunction:

Recently, a major cargo freeway expansion was canceled in L.A. due to the supposedly racist effects of building it, despite the possible negative effects on the local economy.

The tasteless joke serving as Secretary of Transportation agrees that roads are racist, as are bridges. The malevolent lunatics who rule over us are driven by a bizarre ideology.

Crybully Sues University of Bristol for Microaggressions

If it is true that some hesitate to hire members of allegedly oppressed identity groups, it could be because no one wants to deal with the crap Christabelle Peters put the University of Bristol through:

A black university lecturer sued the faculty for race discrimination because her nameplate on her door didn’t have her ‘Dr’ title on it.

Other microaggressions Peters claims to have been subjected to include that her office furniture wasn’t delivered fast enough, that like coworkers she didn’t always get her pay slips in her pigeonhole, that someone expressed lack of interest in Africa, and that educrats racistly pushed her to take ill health retirement after she suffered a disabling stroke.

Even now, sanity sometimes prevails, even in academia:

The lecturer, who is black British of Guyanese origin, has lost all her claims at an employment tribunal.

This followed a week-long spectacle at which she denounced everyone around her as a racist.

As for the nameplate,

The tribunal found the nameplate issue was an ‘admin error’, that another lecturer had the same problem happen to him, and that the nameplates are often prepared by junior workers who don’t even know what they look like.

Regardless of her qualifications — which thanks to Affirmative Action could be nonexistent — would you want Christabelle Peters working for you?

Peters practices what she preaches: cultural Marxist moonbattery.
