Today in labor history April 28, 1967: Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted to fight in Vietnam. Consequently, he was stripped of his boxing title and threatened with jail. His justification for refusing to go: "No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.”

How fascism unleashes the ignorant, racist, scared & revenge-filled men in our societies:
Report: A mob chanting ‘Death to Arabs’ shoved & threw objects at a woman in NY.
The men seemed to believe she was part of an anti-genocide protest, "but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident."

The mob kept up their attacks even as police tried to protect her (see video).

German “Aryans” with African kidneys. What a diabolical incentive to keep an African underclass for “parts.”

Dutton claims majority of veterans don’t want welcome to country at Anzac Day ceremonies
The views of veterans are not homogeneous. They are a diverse group just like the rest of Australian society. Dutton has absolutely no right to claim he speaks for the majority of veterans. He clearly doesn't even understand who Australia's veterans are.

I utterly deplore that the creep-peeps wot go on n on n on about Laura Norder, in election run-ups, never ever ever bother to mention or acknowledge upstream causal matters. For these nasty arseholes offenders just wake up & decide to do crime, without any factors explaining it. Ergo their pathological fetish to simply incarcerate greater & greater numbers, but do nothing whatsoever about the structural causal factors, plainly exposes their cynicism &/or idiocy. Fuck them sideways.

@timrichards Fwiw i would prefer fixed four year terms. I acknowledge potential downsides, but i balance that against the certain, demonstrated, age-old downsides of the stupid current system, wherein if we're lucky we get five minutes of governing & policy work, separated by over two years of electioneering. The current system is totes dysfunctional.

I'm still catching up with my timelines, but already have gleaned a sense that a swag of Oz fediversers chose to watch a show last night twixt a potato & a sellout.

There just ain't enough money, chocolate, nor coffee available to ever induce me to endure any of those pointless meaningless spectacles. Ugh. Dunno how you peeps could stomach it, much less actually want to

5. Objectivity.
Ignoring power-laden realities, while acting as though I'm ‘taking the higher ground’ (e.g. should anyone complain).
I take the much-valued claim of neutrality, when actually I'm both benefiting and biased.
I act non-committed, detached, moderate. An example, “I don’t favor anyone (minorities or not), I just hire the best.”

3. Assimilation.
Being incapable of seeing difference. Examples are ‘color-blindness’ or ‘not believing in labels’.
In effect, I can ignore the difference by reducing it to sameness!
(But if, say, I'm compelled to see it, I can make out that it’s ‘exotic’ – implying some uncanniness there, that perhaps would benefit from being shown some ‘truth’ and ‘logic’)

My biggest fit of -cynical- laughter in a while.
Macron saying that racism and hatred based on religion can have no place in France.
Meanwhile the son of the head of French national police is the leader of a neo-fascist group.
But "it's not an issue" according to the government.

We all act like our structures of oppression are only of interest to, and the responsibility of, those who are oppressed by them.
Today in Labor History April 27, 1882: Jessie Redmon Fauset was born. She was an African-American editor, poet, essayist, novelist, and educator. Her emphasis on portraying an accurate image of African-American life and history inspired literature of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. In her fiction, she created black characters who were working professionals. This was inconceivable to white Americans at the time. Her stories dealt with themes like racial discrimination, "passing", and feminism. From 1919 to 1926, she was literary editor of The Crisis, a NAACP magazine.
