Acclaimed novelist @SalmanRushdie to the German tabloid @BILD:

“If there was a Palestinian state, it would be run by Hamas, and that would make it a Taliban like state. …and it would be a client state of Iran. Is that what the progressive movement of the western left wants to create?”

@cyrusmehta Isn’t this a reaffirmation of the 1975 Matter of Hosseinpour decision? I personally think it should apply to all nonimmigrant categories as a recognition of reality as opposed to a false dichotomy or policy based distinction.

@awernick @gsiskind Power makes no excuses or apologies.

@harryhew Why not the palindrome Obbo Dylan?

@DefDylan Thanks for introducing me to this, it reminds me of red River shore, haunted by and longing to return to an idealized past- as in Mississippi, you can always come back, just can’t come back all the way.

[Scott D. Pollock @scottdpollock]

@DefDylan I wonder how many went to see Dave Allen and the Guilty Men?

Jesse Ed Davis’s guitar work and Leon Russell ‘s piano are both soooo good!

Most lawyers wait until they’re licensed to begin grifting but this one just can’t wait.

@harryhew I imagine Dylan reading this with the same expressions he had in the Things Have Changed music video.

This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action.

Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students.

He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment.

Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black.

When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black.

Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff.

He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black.

He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it.

His entire career was a result of affirmative action.

This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation.

Rev Mike Keller’s history of slavery remix:

Enslaved Black people (“The Blacks”) didn’t protest against injustice in Washington DC like Black people do today (I guess they couldn’t get the time off).

“The Blacks” waited patiently for the “good people” on the plantation (those good ole racist rapists and slaveholders) to introduce them to white Jesus.

“The Blacks” then “humbled themselves” (Black people needed to show humility, not the white people who enslaved them because they considered them inferior) and repented to white Jesus for their “wicked ways” (the enslaved Black people were “wicked” but white slaveholders were “good people”).

Having forgiven enslaved Black people of their wickedness and answering the sincere prayers of the good white people, white Jesus abolished slavery.

The moral of the sermon is that Black people don’t need to protest against the injustices of white supremacy, just wait patiently for good racist white Christians like Rev Keller to pray to white Jesus on their behalf and eventually everything will be alright.

White evangelicalism is white supremacy.
