My 50 th HS reunion is this fall . The fighting that occurred over the zoom call about the state of out country was toooo much . I honestly shut my mouth and listened, seriously I did . I wished everyone well and hung up. Kudos to all who fight this reverse discrimination… may the light of Our Maker shine brightly on this evil. Per Dr Simone Gold . When truth is replaced with enforced ideology, independent critical thinking disappears.
My 50 year reunion is also this year, for a school that was close-to-rural but transitioning to suburban while I was there. There will not be much wokeness represented in the class of '76.
The difference from 1976 to 2026 can be illustrated as follows:
In 2026, guns brought to school will be involved in "gang-banging" or mass shootings.
In 1976, guns brought to school in pick-up truck gun racks would be involved in squirrel hunting after school.
Now I know what I was missing yesterday morning. I was in a bit of a mood, writing angry texts in my head to my extremely woke sister—the one in Ireland, as opposed to the trump hating sister here. I came here way too late in the day. Laughter and a dose of solidarity does indeed take the edge off. 👍🏻😁
It’s the Sorting Hat…but for grown-ups. Blacks in this bucket, Spanish-speakers in this one, and the Whites get plopped into one of their own, too (yes, I capitalized the W…it would be unfair to the W to leave it lower case while the B and the S got the big-boy (girl?) treatment). The PROBLEM is…not all blacks come the same culture…Haitians are different than Jamaicans are different than black Americans. And don’t get me STARTED on Africa…different cultures in almost every country. And Spanish-speakers? Just try to call a Peruvian or Chilean woman Columbian and see where THAT gets you. And whites? American whites alone can’t be bucketed…think Southern whites compared to native NYC whites and watch their heads explode. Try to bucket them on an international scale…and good luck w that.
Stop bucketing people and start treating them like…people. All uniquely and wondrously made (ok. Not all, but most).
Genesis 1:27-28 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Darrin, otoh, I have come to prefer being called a reverse-reverse-racist. By the time that gets parsed, it doesn't sting so much, even though I am only a white black Uncle Tom.
"Humans are tribal lunatics and always will be." - this is a very essential concept to grasp! We are "tribal". We automatically sort into "us vs them". This is something humanity should be actively working to reduce. We need less conflict, not more.
Unfortunately, less conflict doesn't sell papers. Or in modern terms, being conflict-deficient fails to gather clicks or "views," or displeases overarching supreme beings at Vanguard, Blackrock, or State Street.
Yes, humans are drawn to conflict. "Good news" doesn't get a lot of "airtime". Informative articles are ignored which controversy is gobbled up and eagerly clicked on.
This is one reason I'd love to see Jenna post more "subscriber spotlights" and less "some bonehead did something awful". Jenna is hilarious and highly entertaining, no doubt about that, but I'd love to see more "Nice News".
Maybe we should be thankful DEI hires want jobs at all? It must be some sort of indicator that they need the money, and therefore probably aren’t in on the take for the Somali daycare, hospice, Medicaid, <insert any gov’t program here> fraud.
But do they actually WORK when they get those jobs? In the public school system, the answer is almost always NO. Just look at all the recently fired DEI hires from USAID. Making 200k or more and now can’t get a job at Starbucks…because THAT actually requires WORK.
Good question. I agree. Had a friend of a friend over once that worked for some NGO that received money 💰 from USAID, Latina, she was buying multiple rental properties in Playa del Carmen. No real job, just a ton of money syphoned from US taxpayers and setting this 40 year old Latina up for a great retirement. She couldn't even pretend to explain what she did or what her "job" entailed.
To be accurate, all of USAID was DEI hires. They didn’t care who they hired, and if they did, it was probably to hire the most corrupt who wouldn’t overexpose the grift.
Like Nick Shirley said, the Somali fraud was blatant, but the Russian and far eastern fraud was low key, trying to go unnoticed.
Ballooning a state budget line item by 10,000% in 10 years doesn’t go unnoticed.
The only thing that mattered is that the right people - the dems in office - got their palms greased.
THAT’S the forensic audit I want, by thumbscrews or water boarding or any means necessary.
Jenna: "...men working the third shift at tire factories while their backs slowly disintegrate like drywall in a flood." Oof. That's quite a sentence. You're such a good writer!
This is perfectly stated: "Treating whiteness itself as evidence of 'supremacy' is as racist as installing segregated drinking fountains."
I'm 70 and white, grew up in in the 50s and 60s in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia, and believe me, I do know what true racial discrimination looks like. I hate that all that actually happened, and to watch in recent times the woke left (which, sadly, my oldest daughter began to buy into in college 12 years ago and still espouses) spew their own brand of hate in this manner is utter stupidity and ignorance.
Same here. I grew up all across the gulf coast, settled in Louisiana and believe you me, racism was alive and not so well! When my kids were teens, that generation was laughing at their older racist parents and friends By the time they were in their 20’s watching all the interracial relationships, I remember thinking, cool, the racial question is taking care of itself! The mingling was there and good!
Bingo! We had NO idea exactly what that idiot had in mind when he campaigned on "Change." He (and his racist wife too!) assertively and intentionally brought about this divisiveness, and Trump is doing his best to change it. Can't imagine where we'd be without him in this present time.
Spot on brother! If a person is really good, they could almost write an entire post via memes. Did you hear that Jenna? Sounds like a challenge someone might have fun with.
Before DEI it was affirmative action and both of them are reverse discrimination. I always wondered why racism suddenly became okay when it was racism against whites. *We hated being discriminated against so let's do it to the whites and men to punish them for their privilege. We're the good guys so it's not only okay, this makes us superior to all you racists and mysogenists and if you don't like it, it's proof you're racist/mysogenist.* We are living in upside down world!
The leftists saw the disconnect almost as soon as you did and threw tax dollars at "social scientists" to write papers "explaining" how it's "impossible" for policies against majorities to be "racist." Spit-spot, narrative saved, problem solved. ...but the worst of it may have been that horrible "alternate reality" all that wordsmithing forced on us.
In the real world, not the self flagellating DEI world of the NY Times, I’d argue that race isn’t even the deciding factor for hiring. Rather, it’s one’s cultural background. Most employers will hire people of any race as long as they are intelligent, capable, and have a cultural background that conforms with the corporate identity they’re trying to present to clients. In every job situation there will be people who fit and people who don’t, and it’s typically not related to skin color.
Other- it's the system that is the problem and it's not going to fix itself. This entire white privilege nonsense is by design to sow more confusion and division amongst the masses while the very real predominantly white male psychopathic ruling class exists to perpetuate this top down system of control.
Normal everyday society in America used to be a meritocracy based system, but in one form or another, the tentacles of the anti-human system slithers through the cracks and finds a way to corrupt it. Literally every single industry. Hollywood, journalism, education, medical, etc. There isn't an industry that hasn't been corrupted by this kakistocracy system that we find ourselves living in and this is be design.

My school was more urban, over educated indoctrinated twits ….. in Jersey south of NYC … says it all probably.
I am from that area too....
Don't kill the squirrels:{. I have 2 of them I take care of. Peanut I and Peanut II. They are too darn cute.
Enjoy your 50th!
Squirrels? Diurnal tree rats with bushy tails. Not to be trusted.
They make good dumplings, though. 😁
They make better gravy! ;)
Ugh Skenny. Peanut I and Peanut II would change your mind!
Does this mean you are skipping the 50th reunion?
Now I know what I was missing yesterday morning. I was in a bit of a mood, writing angry texts in my head to my extremely woke sister—the one in Ireland, as opposed to the trump hating sister here.

Have the sister in Ireland have Rosie for tea and try to ignore the sister here when she starts babbling about Trump.

You mean the big-PERSON treatment (two genders? are you nuts?). (ETA: Sarcasm alert!)
Genesis 1:27-28 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
that was sarcasm Graphite!
Whoa, is that White Defensiveness?
Gotta be some sort of detogatory mental deficiency. 🤔🤷♂️😎
You are not being inclusive to those that identify as animals or mermaids! 🤣
fair point
Ugh NYC whites, no thanks.
Now, "white supremacy" means SPLC employee.
🤣
“…their dogs, and probably several brands of mayonnaise…” 🤣🤣🤣
Girl, I start my day with you and your wit and it’s the best!
I hope you get a zillion subscribers, you bad ass. 😘 🤬🍑❤️
I don't like calling it "reverse racism ", it is simply racism. Glad 91% that took part in the survey have common sense.

Poll answer: the NY Times is ALWAYS in the wrong. Always.
@NYTimes is akin to being Joe Biden on foreign policy decisions. Wrong. Every. Single. Time.

Then Obama cane along…

Obama, the guy that called his own grandmother a "typical white person" at a public interview.
Although Conspiracy Sarah puts them out en masse, you, Jenna, are the undisputed meme queen!
Meme queening (or meme kinging) is sooo underrated today.
Spot on brother! If a person is really good, they could almost write an entire post via memes. Did you hear that Jenna? Sounds like a challenge someone might have fun with.

"alternate reality" sums it up!

In civil service, it's a different situation. Black racists become senior managers, and openly discriminate against whites.
The mayor of Chicago is loud and proud about his discriminatory hiring practices, basically daring a confrontation.
Other- it's the system that is the problem and it's not going to fix itself.
