Albert Einstein a Racist?"

I saw something in Drudge that has me concerned, I saw yesterday that the diaries of Albert Einstein was released to the Media, and there are statements about his opinions of other peoples and other countries and the SJW's are in a tizzy, I am hearing the clarion call of the

the SJW's are already getting spooled up to discredit all the work that Albert Einstein ever did because the journal of his travels has gotten released.  They are all ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater, because Einstein who is recognized as being one of the most intelligent humans ever recorded.  Albert Einstein who's theory of E=MCis recognized as the basis of nuclear power.  Now there are people already wanting to get rid of everything that Einstein ever did because he said something "racist".  
     Several points here:
    One it was written a long time ago when the times and standards were different.  The SJW's are using the modern prism to look at something that was written almost 100 yeara ago.  The same people that go after "Tom Sawyer" for the "N" word reference totally discount the abolitionist message of the book, that we all bleed the same.  But it don't matter to them, because the "N" word was used even though it was the standard of the time.
      Same thing with the Einstein diaries, they were written to the standard of the time.  But because Albert Einstein is a white guy, there is total outrage going on about it.  They want to throw out all the genius of the man because he wrote something "hurtful".  Really?   Do you see the slippery slope here?  Finally the only people that will be acceptable for being "smart" will be women and "People of Color" talk about exclusion here.   I can see the SJW's going after Oppenheimer, Marconi, Da Vinci(well he was rumored to be gay, so he might be ok)Galileo, Tesla, Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Plato and Sir Issac Newton.  The SJW's are applying the prism of "Race" to the sciences.
     Also there are problems in the colleges of the minority students taking "STEM" classes and being heckled by their peers for taking classes that involve "Racism, support of the patriarchy and suppression.".  This is an affliction of the west due to the PC movement that was started at the "Frankfurt" school and morphed into this levitation that has choked every discourse.  I guarantee the Chinese don't have this problem, and we will be a second rate power once we lose our technological edge because only women and "People of Color" are allowed to be smart by liberal dogma.  Talk about discrimination.

Some Musings on the NFL and other thoughts...

This will be a short post of some musings that are running through my head on a pair of sneakers....Yeah interesting analogy but I am like that....

    Well first off, I decided to watch a preseason football game, I haven't watched much football last year except in post season when My Falcons went all the way to the Superbowl and played 3 quarters of excellent football, but then choking and blowing a 28-3 lead.  Oh well, I am an Atlanta Falcons fan...and we are used to getting our hopes crushed.
    But decided to watch a preseason game and it was the Seahawks and the KC Chiefs...and the announcers dwelled on a couple of players from each teams  sitting down during the national Anthem, and the social Justice aspects of it.  Well that pissed me off, this is the reason that I didn't watch football last year and apparently I wasn't the only one that was pissed about that.  The viewership of the NFL was lower last year.  People don't like having politics shoved into their face all the time.  I see another loser season for the NFL....again.
     So I decided to watch fake football, the movie "The Replacements".    I do like several aspects of that movie...
   There is a phrase in the movie that I like and it states..
                   "Pain is temporary
                     Chicks dig scars
                     Glory is Forever".
I will probably avoid watching the NFL again....something about overpaid entitled players moaning and groaning about "Oppression, racism, police brutality and white privilege."that really pisses me off.  Where else can they go, make a damm good living better than 99% of the rest of America and they feel the need to virtue signal.  Really?
     I then watched "Battlebots" on TV, something about machines beating each up in an arena....think of gladiator games for nerds.lol

  And finally watching "Forged in fire" on the History channel....
 The point I am making is that for TV and cable entertainment people will watch more than NFL and if they keep pushing the SJW crap on America as part of their virtue signaling, they will continue to lose audiences.

     Another musing...I hate reCAPTcha,

"Younger people have a more entitled attitude"

I pulled THIS off the Guardian.  I am working on an "ANTIFA" article and this will be one of the lead in to the ANTIFA article that I am working on. 


Research has discovered that large amounts of young people are developing an entitlement complex.
The psychological trend comes from the belief that you are superior to others and are more deserving of certain things.
This form of narcissism has some significant consequences such as disappointment and a tendency to lash out.
Psychology Today reports that some examples of entitlement range from the disregard of rules, freeloading, causing inconveniences and like to assume the role of leader when working in groups.
So called millennials, who were born roughly between 1988 and 1994, tend to have this characteristic as a 2016 study found.
The University of Hampshire found that youngsters who were studied on issues of entitlement scored 25 per cent higher than people aged 40 to 60 and 50 per cent higher than those over that age bracket.
Dr Joshua Grubbs, who conducted the research, which was published in the Psychological Bulletin is quoted by Spring as saying:
At extreme levels, entitlement is a toxic narcissistic trait, repeatedly exposing people to the risk of feeling frustrated, unhappy and disappointed with life.
Often times, life, health, ageing and the social world don’t treat us as well as we’d like.
Confronting these limitations is especially threatening to an entitled person because it violates their worldview of self-superiority.
The study looked at 170 cases and determined that entitlement leads to a cycle of disappointment, anger, negativity and a constant need for that person to tell themselves that they are special.
Professor Julie Exline, who was also involved in the study added that this system only creates more issues and can lead to problems with other people.
The entire mind set pits someone against other people.
When people think that they should have everything they want — often for nothing — it comes at the cost of relationships with others and, ultimately, their own happiness
In order to break from this mentality experts believe that an individuals should learn to become more humble, more grateful and accept their limitations.
Psychology Today also offers some other alternatives to solving the problem.
These including retrospectively reflecting on annoying incidents from someone else's perspective, promote others achievements and stop justifying things to yourself that are wrong.

A different take on the special snowflake outbreak on campus.

I have been seeing all the stupidity on the college campuses lately with the special snowflake outbreaks.  I will be cutting and pasting an article I ran across on Townhall that gave me a different take.  The article mentioned the special snowflakes eating their own from the wussy administrators, we have the *BLM*  the "Only Black Lives Matter and nobody else does" doing their protest in a  college library at Dartmouth,

 and being rude and obnoxious to the other students whom have been cowed by the P.C. movement to be subservient to angry black people and accept rudeness as penance for the sins of their skin.  The demands of these protesters are getting more strident as they try to stay relevant in the fast moving world of a "Social Justice Warrior".  I saw this article on "Townhall" and shamelessly snagged it.  The pictures are compliments of "Google"
   
Please don't tell the students at University of Missouri and Yale and all the other throbbing pustules of academia to stop their insanity. Instead, encourage and provoke them to turn the turmoil up to 11, a number most of these students can’t count to without taking off their Nikes. No, we want the campuses to echo with the whiny cries of the Children of the Safe Space Revolution

And we will sit back and point and laugh as the weak-willed, spineless liberal losers of academia abase themselves before their whimpering student bodies. This is just great. As Napoleon observed, never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake. Now, mentioning Napoleon probably a microaggression because, in the unlikely event that the gender studies and Marxist interpretive dance majors of Yale and Missouri recognize the name, he’s a cis-het dead white male – and he was not actually differently abled despite being vertically challenged. Still, his advice has merit – just pretend for a moment that he is trans woman-identifying being of color of some sort

Our enemies are tearing themselves apart. Let’s let them, because every time a social justice warrior humiliates other liberals, a conservative gets his wings. See, this has all happened before. For those unfamiliar with that thing called history – I’m talking to you, college students – there was this guy named S.I. Hiyakawa who was head of San Francisco State University back in the 1960s. When a bunch of hippie punks decided to make demands, he stood up to them. He became a hero to normal people, and the voters of California – back before they went insane – elected him senator. In other words, all this idiocy about safe spaces and healing circles and “I am an oppressed special snowflake of love” provides us not only nearly endless amusement, but an opportunity to swoop in after the left has pummeled itself into mush.

This is an opportunity to get back on the side of the American people and do their will by striking back at these leftist twits. Along with the rising crime rate – even as President Faily McWorsethancarter has decided it’s time to free thousands of felons because justice or something – student idiocy provides enterprising conservatives a chance to appeal to the Silent Majority just like Richard Nixon did. For you college students out there, you’ll need to Google his Wikipedia page, but suffice it to say, he won

So let’s make sure Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democrats have to own this pouty passion play. You know there's no way Hillary can stand up and say what I would: “Hey you little cretins, you’ve got ‘til I count to three to get off my quad or I unleash these state troopers to get all pepper spray and nightstick up on your delicate little booties. Three.”

No, she has to kiss their collective healing circles. And we should make her do it publicly, because there’s nothing normal voters love more than seeing people giving in to petulant sophomores with an attitude. We should force her to take a stand, to decide whether she's on the side of the little college punks, or on the side of Americans. Gee, where do you think she’ll come down? Not with the normals, that’s for sure.

But even as we get a short term political benefit we also have a long term cultural opportunity. An Overton Window is opening to defenestrate academia as it is currently constituted. Right now, as people like Glenn Reynolds and yours truly have written, colleges are pricing themselves out of the market and are increasingly vulnerable to new technology that can deliver an education without all the nonsense. Conservatives can now make an even stronger case that we need to stop subsidizing these government-funded petri dishes of social pathologies and pinko bioweapons. The clown shows at Yale and UofM are a perfect, graphic demonstration of why we should slash their budgets, pare their loathsome, Dem-voting administrations to the bone, and force academia to change – and it goes without saying that the change will be into something other than the lefty conformity factories they are today.


It’s beautiful how this conflict divides the liberals between the establishment and the students, and how it further subdivides two of their main establishment constituencies, academics and mainstream media journalists. For too long, both of these groups of hapless losers have been able to pretend to support free speech. Well, suckers, now it's getting real. The little monsters you spawned don't much like free-speech, and they want you to shut up too, not just us conservatives. Being academics and journalists, and therefore presumptively without spines, most of you guys will submit. A few of you won't, and it will weaken your coalition when some number of your members walk away because they just can’t swallow your catering to these Junior Red Guards. 

Oh, and what if you little goofs dare strut off campus thinking that we’re like the professorial puffballs who’ll fold in the face of any intersectional anarcho-feminist who starts bawling about feeling unsafe because someone expressed an idea he/she/it doesn’t like? Well, stampy foot may work with your local Assistant Dean for Diversity and Petty Fascism, but it doesn’t play with us. The Iraqis didn’t stop me from exercising my First Amendment rights, nor the Balkans baddies, nor the scumbag rioters in Los Angeles, so you sure as hell aren’t going to without a fight. If you think you get a vote about what we normal Americans can and can’t say, you best be ready to try and make that happen with more firepower than a vicious Tumblr, because when it comes to the Bill of Rights we’re playing for keeps.. 

So, fellow freedom lovers, grab a bag of popcorn and a tumbler of scotch, because this is only going to get better and better. And you matriculating Marxist morons, pay no mind to us conservatives or to our laughter. Just keep very publicly making your strategic mistakes in your widdle campus safe spaces, and we will keep letting you – for now.
