Beloit College creates blacks-only space for students to hang out

Beloit College, a small liberal arts college in Southern Wisconsin, has transformed a campus coffee shop into a gathering place for black students, according to the school’s website.

In March, the private institution announced the Java Joint would be closed in order to become “a haven for Beloit College’s Black students.”

The gathering space was praised by Jada Daniel, the current Black Student Union president.

“We hope to create a safe space for Black and Brown students, where we have a comfortable place to study,” said Daniel on the school’s website.

“Daniel said BSU plans to host Soul Food Sundays, poetry readings, and other events during the year, following COVID safety guidelines,” the website says.

A representative from Beloit College responded to a request for comment by saying the school is “unable to fulfill an interview request on this topic at this time.”

HATE HOAX: BLM activist claimed she was the victim of hate crimes including arson—video shows she started the fire

A student at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, claims she had been the victim of racist incidents, including arson. However, police discovered that the alleged victim of framed hate crimes was the one caught on surveillance video starting the fire in the university’s residence hall.

Viterbo University student Victoria Unanka is reported to have texted a friend on April 18, claiming that a small fire started in the girl’s residence hall must have been directed towards herself because it began in the next room over.

When police investigated the fire and reviewed security footage, authorities discovered that it was the same student who set the fire.

Unanka was then arrested for arson and negligent handling of burning materials but released on signature bond, the La Cross Tribune reported.

She is alleged to have told police she had been with friends the night of the fire and returned home around midnight when she prepared food and then went to the lounge to clean up. Unanka said she didn’t go anywhere else in the residence hall before returning to the dorm room. She also told police she didn’t see anything suspicious prior to the fire. Once the alarm went off, she said she and another friend knocked on doors to get other students to evacuate the building.

Upon the police’s arrival, several students were discussing concerns that the fire was another hate crime incident. But when police reviewed security footage, which had been installed after reports of racist and threatening graffiti, of the residence hall, law enforcement noticed inconsistencies in Unanka’s claims.

The surveillance video showed Unanka left the dorm room at about 2:09 a.m. and began checking to see if other residents were present. In the next five minutes, Unanaka walks into the lounge area and uses the bathroom before returning to the dorm room. Smoke could be seen on the camera footage at 2:14 a.m. Unanka then began knocking on doors and pulled the fire alarm herself, the video reveals.

Speaker at Armed Black Militant March: “Kill Everything White in Sight”

A speaker at an armed march in Oklahoma to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre told the crowd that the ultimate goal of the movement was to “kill everything white in sight.”

Yes, really.

Billed as a ‘Second Amendment March for Reparations’, individuals from the New Black Panther Party marched through downtown Tulsa to draw attention to “racism, inequality, wealth disparity, police brutality and the like.”

Eager to fan the flames of racial division yet again, the establishment media and other cultural institutions have also been heavily promoting the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre in yet another example of institutionalized anti-white racism.

However, one of the speakers at the event let slip what the militant groups present actually had in mind during an address to attendees.

“The time is coming rat a tat tat…kill everything white in sight!” he said.

So much for the tolerant left!

All joking aside, while the groups involved in the march are distinct entities from Black Lives Matter, an organization that enjoys lavish establishment and corporate support, the rhetoric is barely any different.

During the George Floyd riots, BLM agitators were heard shouting, “shoot the white folks!”

Texas restaurant gets win in fighting “discriminatory” criteria for federal Covid relief

A conservative non-profit legal team has secured a temporary restraining order on behalf of a Texas restaurant owner against what critics say is discriminatory and racist criteria for awarding Covid-19 relief funds under the Biden administration.

The restaurant owner filing suit says he was prohibited from consideration for an award from the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund during the program’s first twenty-one days because he is a white male.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 directs the Small Business Administration to give preferential treatment to businesses owned by women, veterans, and people who are “socially and economically disadvantaged”.

The federal law uses a controversial “critical race theory” definition of “socially and economically disadvantaged” that can only include minority groups.

Lori Lightfoot Just Keeps Digging in Interview Defending Racist Media Policy

“I think, in this one day, when we are looking at the two-year anniversary of my inauguration, as a woman of color, as a lesbian, it’s important to me that diversity is put front and center,” she said, defending her position. “If I, as the black woman mayor, the first ever, don’t challenge us – the collective us – to do better, to really make sure that, in every institution, it reflects the diversity, and nuance, and texture of our city, then shame on me.”

Then truly, shame on you, Mayor, because when you are avowedly blocking people because of their skin color; you are not talking about diversity, you are being racist.

She’s judging people based on the color of their skin. It’s the opposite of diversity. You’re not challenging “us” to do better; you are just straight up doing worse. Really, stop already. You’re just making it worse, when you try to defend this nonsense.

The interview suggests what this is really about is a media avoidance strategy — that she just doesn’t like coverage that she’s gotten from some outlets.
