Harvard preferences

vendredi 4 octobre 2019 à 02:00

43% of the white students admitted to Harvard College were given a special preference, often for being an athlete or the child of an alum, a faculty member, or a donor. Most of those would not have been admitted without without the preference.

Racial wealth inequality ensures that few black applicants have any of those preferences, except perhaps being athletes.

Polluter revenge

Human rights lawyer Steven Donziger won the lawsuit against Chevron for polluting part of Ecuador, so Chevron has destroyed his life with an unfair trial, apparently rigged by the judge.

Urgent: impeach

US citizens: phone your congresscritter and say, "Impeach the conman now."

Refugees DNA sampling for surveillance

vendredi 4 octobre 2019 à 02:00

When the bully ordered border thugs to take DNA samples from refugees, supposedly that was in order to reunite families after first separating them. That made no sense as a reason. Now it is overt: surveillance as such is the purpose.

DNA samples did not make sense for reuniting families because (1) the people in a family are not necessarily biologically related, and (2) there are much easier ways to do it.

Killed for sitting

The thugs that shot and killed unarmed black man Stephon Clark will not face charges.

However, Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing Botham Jean.

I don't think merely finding a man in what you believe is your apartment excuses killing him, if he is only sitting on the couch watching TV and eating ice cream.
