That’s one of the shocking conclusions of “Taboo: 10 Facts You Can’t Talk About,” a book by Wilfred Reilly, a Black professor who teaches at the University of Kentucky.
A last word on the Oakland A's
Just a short post today on the crocodile tears from Thao and her crowd over the news that the A’s are definitely moving to Vegas. Look: for years Thao and her fellow wokesters Bas, Fife and Kaplan did their best to drive the A’s out of town. They didn’t even try to hide their motive, which was, essentially, that Major League Baseball isn’t woke enough for them. Baseball players are all male, and these women don’t particularly like men. Baseball is a pretty White sport (including viewership), and these women don’t particularly like White people. I’ve watched them undermine the A’s for at least 5 years, and now that they’ve achieved their goal of eliminating the A’s from Oakland, they’re pretending to be heartbroken. What a bunch of corrupt liars, especially Thao. Worst. Mayor. Ever – and that’s saying a lot, considering Dellums, Quan and Schaaf! If Jerry Brown were still Mayor, we’d already be at work building Howard Terminal.
Have a wonderful, safe weekend. Back on Monday.

DEIA and the limits of free speech
What if you were a college professor who was browsing an online site and you saw that one of your colleagues had posted “The US is a f***ing piece of s*** nation. Go ahead and quote me, conservatives.” If you found that offensive, you might reply that the poster was a “Social Justice Warrior” who “should move to China to post about the Communist party and see how much mileage it gets him.”

In Santa Ana, an activist police union sponsors a recall
I’m watching this situation down in Santa Ana (Orange County), as it mirrors so many of the issues we confront here in Oakland and Alameda County. Briefly, there’s this city council member in Santa Ana, Jessie Lopez, an extremely woke progressive, a Carroll Fife or Rebecca Kaplan type; she earned the wrath of the local police union, the Santa Ana Police Officers Association (SAPOA) for voting against a pay raise for cops last December. (Lopez also has been criticized by property and landlord groups for her strong support of rent control which mainly hurts small landlords.)
