Dark Thoughts

Newberg school staff member wears Blackface to work ... Pefferle was soon removed from school grounds and placed on administrative leave, according to a district statement. [More]

Why? Democrat "leaders" Northam and Herring were given passes and rewarded with awesome political power, so why the inconsistency? And how hard is iodine to remove?

I also see a bit of a "progressive" journalism dilemma: If you are supposed to capitalize the "b" in "black" as a form of cultural restitution for discrimination, why would Portland's KOIN See-BS 6 ("Woking out for you") also do it for the actual discriminating practice of "blackface"?

Way to undermine an act of protest by fliping the script.
“It is important to remember how Blackface has been used to misrepresent Black communities and do harm. We acknowledge the violence this represents and the trauma it evokes regardless of intention."
"The whole point of protesting is to make people uncomfortable. To those who complain that protest demands make others uncomfortable, that's the point." -- AOC
Iodine has to wear off; it's an actual skin stain. Bill Maher might be able to help her out with some leftover anal bleach.
