Ms. Groves is a victim of racist bigotry in this sense.

Ms. Groves is a victim of racist bigotry in this sense. She wasn’t taught the reality of racist bigotry. Racist bigotry, often I’d say, includes hiding its own existence. It gets you “asking” the wrong questions. It seems a shame that the nameless faces bureaucrats at the University are allowed anonymity. They, in their own way, I see as reprehensible as they are only concerned about face. I believe that had Ms. Groves not allowed herself to be pressured into “yielding the field” she could have prevailed. She violated no law and what she said weren’t really her words in the sense that she was a kid and you cut kids slack. What an awful and cowardly institution of higher learning she won’t be attending. That may be a good thing.

Trumpfukery… such a loser

There is little doubt that Trump will be adjudged the worst president ever and one hopes that it is a record he keeps for a long time. In a week or so it’ll be a daily 9-11 death count. And the fix was available from the beginning. Trump has firmly established the falsity of the assertion of white supremacy.
