All Hail the Almighty CAIR Who Can't See Their Own Problems

JANUARY 28, 2023

**  CAIR welcomes order  to remove Ala. Confederate statue, urges Miss. lawmakers to remove Confederate statues from Congress.  (Council on American-Islamic Relations.  I'd like to see them welcome an order to make their folks stop mistreating women and non-Islamic folks.   Wouldn't you?)

**  Briscoes were kept off AEW TV by WBD due to past tweets, Confederate flag gear.  (Even wrestling now?  Must be a CAIR thing.)

**  Ruling  paves way to remove Tuskegee Confederate statue.  (Alabama.  Lots of articles about this these days.)

Chicago Cubs Player Jason Heyward Makes a Statement Over Racial Concerns

Jason Heyward believes Blacks in the United States are not being treated fairly.

He chose to sit out this past Wednesday's Cubs game to show his concern. 

Whatever the actual treatment of Blacks in this country is, this man certainly doesn't have much to complain about.  He has signed an eight-year contract with the Chicago Cubs for $184 million.  Not exactly chump change and mistreatment in my book.  He also got a $20 million signing bonus and has a base salary of $21 million, coming to a total of $23.5 million a year.

I just can't buy multimillionaire black athletes who talk about how bad it is to be Black in the United States.

Hopefully, the Cubs will dock him his salary for that game.  But, I know they won't.

Well, if Jason Heyward will sit out a game for black victims of the police, he will also sit out a game for the five-year-old boy, Cannon Hinnant, who was recently killed and whose death was all but ignored by the national media, something they sure don't do when a black man is killed by police.

Let's Be Fair, Jason.  --Old Secesh

Will the NBA, WNBA and Those MLB Players Who Boycotted Their Games Do the Same for Cannon Hinnant?

If they are so concerned about people's lives, surely they will take another day off to commemorate the short life of Cannon Hinnant.

Hey folks!!  All Lives Matter.  Not just Blacks.  Do you even know who Cannon Hinnant is?

And, it is especially sad when a five-year-old's life is cut short by an act of unspeakable evil.

Lets's Do What's Right.  Boycott.  --Old Secesh

Hey, NBA!! Go Ahead and Cancel the Season

I don't know, but when I see multi-millionaire black NBA basketball players telling about how hard it is to grow up Black in the United States, I just can't help but smile.  After all, they earn more in one year than I did in 33 years of teaching.  AND, I am a white person.  Tell me about how hard it is.

Yesterday, led by the Milwaukee Bucks, the black players canceled the playoffs because of what happened in Kenosha last Sunday.  And, they are talking about doing the same for today.  First off, the Bucks should be made to forfeit the game.  And, secondly, who really cares about the NBA.  Very, very few people around here are even watching it.  Who cares?

And, I did not hear a single black player expressing sorrow about the five-year-old white boy in Wilson, North Carolina, who was murdered by a black man.  Shot point blank in the head in front of the boy's 6 and 7-year-old sisters.   They seem to only care when a white person kills a black person.

So, go ahead NBA, cancel the season to show your grief about what happened to young Cannon Hinnant.  Have you even heard of Cannon Hinnant?

Does anybody who supports Black Lives Matter know what they actually sand for?   To me, BLM means rioting, looting, burning, confrontation and hate crimes against statues.  They remind me a lot of a group from Germany's history called the Brown Shirts.

Times That Try Men's Souls: A Band, Bad Professors?, NASCAR Zealots and Nancy

Here are some articles in the Chicago Tribune of late.

**  Lady Antebellum changes name.  You know, antebellum is used to describe the South before the Civil War.

**  "One Tree Hill" stars asks fans to help fire fire professor.  (A professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, who said "Massa Cooper, let my people go!"  UNC-Chapel Hill?  Wasn't that the place where professors likely urged students to tear down the "Silent Sam " statue in a hate crime?)

Also, kind of strange that those "One Tree" folks had nothing to say about the that professor from UAB who tweeted about how to pull down a statue.  Why hasn't she been fired?  Oh yes.  Birmingham, Alabama, where the mayor has broken the law and is proud of it.

**  About that NASCAR ban.  The Chicago Tribune had two hate-filled commentaries about how bad everyone who supports anything Confederate is.  Those two would be Kevin Williams and Eric Zorn.  Hate, hate, hate guys.  Man, that's a lot of hate-spewing.

**  Pelosi orders Confederate portraits removed.  Those of four previous Speakers of the U.S. House who served in the Confederacy:  Robert Hunter, James Orr, Howell Cobb and Charles Crisp.  Charles Crisp was not a Speaker until after the war.

Maybe, since she's one of those Democrats, and you know how they are about the "S" word, she should also remove the names of Southerners who may have or may not have owned the "S" word.  Those would be Nathaniel Bacon, Henry Clay, Langdon Cheves, Phillip Pendleton Barbour, Andrew Stevenson, John Bell, James K. Polk, John White, John Winston Jones and Linn Boyd.
