White Guy Fired For Racism After Sharing Private Non-Racist Joke With Black Friend

We kind of got used to white people losing their jobs for being critical of Obama on social media, but this is the Trump Age and things should be different, right? Not as long as liberals are in charge of our colleges and universities. The University of Oregon fired a white guy for being a racist after he was overheard making a private non-racist joke with his black friend. The obvious message being sent is that it is racist for white people to have black friends, which actually sounds very racist to me.

Matthew Halls is an acclaimed British symphony conductor who had a 4-year contract with the University of Oregon to direct the Oregon Back Festival. Halls is white. Reginald Mobley is an acclaimed classical singer, who is a dear friend of Halls’. Mobley is black.

According to The Telegraph, here is the “racist” incident between the two old friends:

Halls and Mobley had been chatting at a reception held last month during this year’s Oregon Bach Festival, when the subject turned to a concert in London in which Mobley had performed.

The singer, who was born and raised in the southern state of Florida, said the concert had an “antebellum” feel to it, of the sort associated with Gone With the Wind and other rose-tinted representations of the pre-Civil War south.

In response Mobley says that Halls “apologised on behalf of England”, before putting on an exaggerated southern accent and joking: “Do you want some grits?”, in a reference to the ground corn dish popular in the south.

“I’m from the deep south and Matthew often makes fun of the southern accent just as I often make fun of his British accent. Race was not an issue. He was imitating a southern accent, not putting on a black accent, and there was nothing racist or malicious about it,” said Mobley.

Unfortunately, a white SJW who is presumably with the university eavesdropped on this private conversation. This unidentified white woman not only confronted the two friends, but then reported to the university that Halls had made a racist joke at Mobley’s expense.

The university conducted an investigation that didn’t involve speaking to either Halls or Mobley and determined that yes, there was some serious racism going on.

And I’m sure you can guess what happened next:

Shortly after Halls, who has worked with orchestras and opera houses across Europe and the US, was told by a university official his four year contract, which was to have run until 2020, was being terminated.

If this seems crazy, and it should, don’t worry, the University of Oregon gave this awesome explanation:

“The University considers many factors when deciding whether to continue a contract.  Regarding Reggie Mobley, it doesn’t appear he was involved in the University’s decision. Having said that, it would be inappropriate for the University to disclose details about a personnel matter. While I anticipate that more information will be available soon, I’m afraid that’s all I can say on the matter right now,” said a university spokesman.

They publicly fired a man for racism in an incident that was very clearly not racism, so it actually would be appropriate for them to disclose some details, like how in the hell is this racist? Or, why are they turning Mobley into a victim when he is very clearly not?

Let’s keep in mind that universities across the country are hesitant to fire black and liberal professors who wish death upon white people, the President, Trump supporters, and anyone who isn’t a whacko progressive Froot Loop. That’s cool, but two friends sharing a private non-racist joke is the most outrageously racist thing ever? Liberal bullshit truly knows no bounds.

Hillary Now Is Blaming The Women’s March For Her Loss

Via Fox News Insider:

Hillary Clinton blamed many people for her loss of the presidency to Donald Trump in 2016, even turning on some who support her.

Clinton mused on the Women’s March in her new book “What Happened” due to be released on Tuesday.

“I couldn’t help but ask where those feelings of solidarity, outrage, and passion had been during the election,” a teaser excerpt from the book reads.

The Women’s March in January was organized in response to the election of Mr. Trump, and many marchers were Hillary supporters.

Clinton will appear on television to discuss last’s year’s events and take a book tour covering 15 cities.

Several Democrats are recoiling from the idea of Hillary taking the spotlight again.

Migrants Prefer Germany Because Its Benefits ‘Are Quite High,’ Says Gov’t Minister

Hear that, California?

Vie Breitbart:

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière has said that his country’s generous welfare benefits act like a magnet for migrants, and called for a unification of standards throughout the European Union (EU) to better distribute new arrivals.

Since Germany offers migrants and refugees much more than other EU member states, it has become an attractive target for human smugglers, de Maizière said.

De Maizière told the Rheinische Post newspaper Saturday that Germany is the destination of choice for many migrants because in comparison with other European countries, its “procedures and reception conditions are generous” and “the benefits for refugees are quite high.”

“That’s part of the pull-factor to Germany,” he said.

Germany’s magnet effect on migration has taken on other forms as well, de Maizière said. In the summer of 2015, “we were under great pressure to make forecasts about the number of refugees to be expected so that the municipalities could plan,” he said.

When the minister released the figure of 800,000 migrants in August 2015, this sent a “signal” to prospective migrants and traffickers that Germany was willing to take in that many and this, in turn, acted as a “driver” of migration, he added.

GOOD LUCK: Shaun King Demands NFL Boycott Until Colin Kaepernick Is Signed

Sunday marks the start of football season for most NFL fans, but at least one man, Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King, won’t be tuning in: he’s vowed to boycott the league until medicore second-string quarterback Colin Kaepernick finally gets signed to a team.

He might be waiting a while.

On Friday, King provided his faithful followers with a thousand-word instruction manual on how to boycott the NFL in four simple steps, three of which – signing up on NFLBoycott.com, following the boycott on Twitter and joining a Facebook group – involve little but subjecting yourself to further Shaun King missives (the other one is turning off your television and refusing to watch games or highlights).

So, I’m asking you to join me in boycotting the NFL this year. We will end our boycott when Colin Kaepernick is signed to an NFL roster. It’s that simple. Listen, we have power,” King wrote. “Our money has power. Our viewership has power. Our buying power can sway what companies do or don’t support. But we have to unify and make this power mean something.”

Kaepernick, of course, has been persona non grata within the NFL since he began a campaign of protest against the national anthem. The campaign had twin effects: it propelled Kaepernick, who, despite his success in previous seasons, was a mediocre second-string quarterback doomed to warming the bench, to national promimence, and turned viewers off the NFL in droves.

Perhaps thinking his notoriety made him a commodity, Kaepernick opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers; he ended up unemployed, with at least one team turning him down because of his reputation as a political troublemaker Miami, as well, didn’t outright say they were dumping Kaepernick for Jay Cutler, but last year, Kapernick and members of the Dolphins got into a tussle over Kaepernick’s love of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, which Cuban refugee Miami fans just didn’t appreciate.

But Kaepernick also isn’t a really a commodity. He’s sort of a middling quarterback, and there are plenty of those to go around, even if Shaun King thinks Kaepermick is a superstart who’s been denied the limelight.

“These white team owners cannot believe that Colin took a stance against injustice in America without their expressed permission and blessing. And they particularly cannot believe that when they expressed their displeasure, that he continued to do it anyway — with players all over the league following his example,” King wrote. “That’s why they hate him. He is a quiet, peaceful man. To hate him says much more about you than it does about Colin.”

Weirdly enough, the NFL and its fans don’t seem to be losing too much sleep over Kaepernick’s unemployment, and given that ratings can’t get much worse, they seem willing to take the risk that Shaun King might tune out – especially if plenty of other people start tuning back in.

Newsweek hails Al Gore for predicting eventual-but-inevitable powerful hurricane

**Written by Doug Powers

Call him NastraDUHmus.

Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” was released eleven years ago. In the movie, the Goracle predicted man-made climate change would cause hurricane to increase in both frequency and intensity. Until late this summer, since that movie’s release, ZERO powerful hurricanes (cat 3 or higher) made U.S. landfall. But now that there have been a couple catastrophic hurricanes, the alarmists are back in business:

They’re reduced to praising Al Gore as some sort of eco-oracle for “predicting” something that’s been happening since the dawn of the planet. He really called that one!

The article at Newsweek might as well be a paid advertisement for “An Inconvenient Sequel” which had an inconvenient box office for Gore. Next up, the Left will hail Al for correctly predicting tornadoes in Oklahoma.

How Chicago is morphing into Detroit in one easy lesson

My heart is breaking for Chicago, and for all Americans, as one of our greatest cities crumbles before our (and the world’s) eyes. I don’t see any way out of the vicious circle of political corruption, irrevocable pensions obligations overwhelming tax revenue, vanishing public services, and a decline in civil order leading toward a third world level of crime.

 As a result, the city consumes itself, strangling business and entrepreneurship, and killing off precious assets. Now, comes a story that captures it all in one heart-rending example. Sam Cholke of DNAChicago writes:

BRONZEVILLE — Chicago’s top-rated bed and breakfast is selling its historic mansion home and leaving Bronzeville because it’s too hard to persuade people to stay in the neighborhood.

Owner Mell Monroe is closing Welcome Inn Manor, 4563 S. Michigan Ave., Trip Advisor’s top-rated bed and breakfast in Chicago, and putting the historic mansion up for sale for $794,000.

“I’m not happy about the situation, but I have to do what I have to do,” Monroe said.

Monroe and his wife have lived in the brownstone seven-bedroom mansion for 15 years, and five years ago they converted it to a bed and breakfast.

Monroe said he’s built the business up to serve about 250 guests a year. But, he said, for every three guests he books, one cancels. He said he rarely gets an explanation for the cancellation, but suspects people are lured in by the proximity to Downtown and McCormick Place and then cancel when they realize the bed and breakfast is in a largely black neighborhood with a bad reputation.

Take a look at the place:

 

This is the type of building that gives a neighborhood, and in larger numbers a city, charm, character, and a sense of place. Except for the fact that civil order has crumbled, everything about the Welcome Inn Manor would be great for all sorts of visitors to the city. Near downtown, full of charm, historic, and gorgeous. In San Francisco, this place woiuld sell for a large multiple of what the owners are asking.

The owners were what used to be called “urban pioneers,” who bought and improved properties in undervalued neighborhoods close to downtown or other attractions, but out of fashion. But they bet on the wrong city.

Hollywood Liberals Continue To Drop F-Bombs On Christians

Earlier this week Hollywood producer Danny Zucker gave a big “f*ck you” to Christians because he was upset that President Trump cancelled Obama’s unconstitutional DACA order. Now, actor/comedian Michael Ian Black wants Christians to go f*ck themselves because he’s pissed off about global warming or something. It seems to me that Hollywood is trying to scapegoat Christians the way they say conservatives do with illegal aliens and Muslims. Lucky for them they have written all kinds of carve-outs into the rules of tolerance or they’d seem like major hypocrites.

Black, who is most famous for…I have no idea. I think I saw him on TRU TV’s World’s Drunkest Stupid Assholes one time, but that could have been Danny Bonaduce. In any case, he went on an extended Twitter-storm today because he was upset about global warming or maybe people who don’t buy into the hoax.

I’m not going to imbed all of these tweets or even cut and paste his words; it’s simply too long. If you must read it, you can check out his Twitter. I’ll give you the gist of this insane rant. He starts out by claiming that Hurricane Irma, which is headed towards Florida, is a result of man-made global warming and complains that Republicans denying climate change is the reason why this storm is poised to do massive damage. After this, he accuses Republicans of not believing in science, even though his hypothesis is completely devoid of any sound scientific principals.

From there, Black goes into how everything that Republicans do as politicians is based on their Christian faith and therefore bullshit in his eyes. He says this makes them unfit to govern as well as being proof that conservatives favor a monarchy over democracy. I know this seems crazy, but Black was just warming up.

He slams Christian faith some more, claims that lower taxes hurt economic growth, and throws in some shit about the evils of private education. All of this lunacy was leading up to this:

“And they will never stop justifying their own bullshit. People are going to die in [Florida] in the next few days and they’re going to offer thoughts and prayers and go back to raping the country they claim to love in the name of Jesus fucking Christ on high. Fuck them,” wrote Black.

“And if you support this bullshit, fuck you too,” he added.

I know this is a lot to absorb, but basically if you are a conservative Christian, Michael Ian Black wants you to go f*ck yourself for not believing in what liberals consider science.

While we are on the subject, let’s take a look at some of the “science” liberals like Black believe in: If a person born with a penis puts on a dress and calls himself a woman, he is biologically a woman. A baby inside the mother’s womb is not alive or human until he or she passes through the magic portal of the vagina. Firearms, inanimate objects made out of metal and plastic, are capable of killing people without human manipulation.

That is some pretty shitty science there, and so is thinking that electing democrats will stop hurricanes from making landfall. It’s also not super-sciencey to believe that something mankind has done in the past couple of decades is responsible for creating weather conditions that have existed since the Earth cooled.

After all of this nonsense, we still have the fact that Black is telling Christians to f*ck off because he believes in a hoax. Is it okay to tell Muslims to f*ck off because you believe the Earth is flat? No, that would be Islamaphobia. Is it cool to tell Jews to f*ck off because you think we faked the moon landing? No, that would be anti-Semitism. Why then is it acceptable for Hollywood douchebags to drop F-bombs all over Christians because of their own crazy delusions?

A WPLG camera crew caught looters breaking into stores in Fort Lauderdale as Hurricane Irma batters Florida.

WPLG reports:

Despite dangerous winds and heavy rain from Hurricane Irma, several looting incidents have been reported in Fort Lauderdale.

Local 10 cameras caught a group breaking into the Simon’s Sportswear on Sunrise Blvd. and Powerline Road.

The group of about 8-9 people broke through the front window and were seen walking in and then walking out with stolen items.

A group then began looting a Footlocker in the same area. It’s not known whether the groups were the same.

South Florida law enforcement officials promised to police the streets to prevent looting, but with unsafe winds currently pummeling the region, it’s not known if units are currently on patrol.

NBA To Players: Be More Political, Pursue Social Justice

The NBA has a lack of diversity.

Via Red Alert Politics:

While it’s largely seen as taboo in the NFL to get political, it’s actually encouraged for basketball players to get active and pursue social justice.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the National Basketball Association (NBA) commissioner Adam Silver and the National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts are pushing players to speak their mind on politics and social issues.

In the letter obtained by ESPN, Silver and Roberts told players, “None of us operates in a vacuum. Critical issues that affect our society also impact you directly. Fortunately, you are not only the world’s greatest basketball players — you have real power to make a difference in the world, and we want you know that the Players Association and the League are always available to help you figure out the most meaningful way to make that difference.”

The letter also praised players for their work in NBA communities, Basketball Without Borders events, and Hurricane Harvey fundraising efforts.

Many liberals and progressives have accused NFL owners of being racist for not signing Colin Kaepernick because of his politics. Meanwhile, after the Golden State Warriors won the 2017 NBA Finals, Finals MVP Kevin Durant said that he would not visit the White House because of his opposition to President Trump, saying, “We don’t f— with him.”

Other stars like LeBron James spoke out following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia in August, putting the blame solely on Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s “Crazy, Floating Eye” Returns as She Blames Comey for Election Loss (VIDEO)

The return of Crazy Eyes–

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sat down with Jane Pauley on ‘CBS Sunday Morning’ and gave her first T.V. interview since the 2016 presidential election.

Hillary spoke about her new memoir ‘What Happened’ which is set to release September 12.

Hillary Clinton reacted to a clip of then-FBI Director James Comey giving a presser in July of 2016, admitting Hillary acted careless in her handling of highly sensitive classified information.

“I don’t know quite what audience he was playing to other than maybe some right-wing commentators, right-wing members of Congress, whatever,” Hillary said.

Unbelievable.

Hillary Clinton blamed Comey for his 11th hour decision to re-open the FBI investigation eleven days before the election after more emails were discovered on her aide Huma’s husbands computer, Anthony Weiner.

“Eleven days before the election and it raised the specter that somehow the investigation was being re-opened. It just stopped my momentum,” Hillary continued.

Hillary got very excited as she continued to blamed Comey for revisiting a ‘closed investigation’ and claims there was an open investigation into Trump-Russia which the media and Comey ignored.

Watch Hillary’s eye go wonky as she leans forward. Something is seriously wrong with this woman.
