Air National Guard...out of WI.
How is that anti-sememitic? A lot of Jewish people aren't fans of bolsheviks and would use the descriptor "fucking" for them as well...my uncle for one (although he would have probably used "motherfucking bolsheviks/pinkos/commies" and said a few more things involving creative use of the f-word because military jargon and all that).
If anyone needs to be taken down, it's the ILGOP....who are basically toadies for the ILDNC. ILDNC = vile scumbags; ILGOP = vile scumbags' equally vile hired help.
Go Scott!
Now she gets paid big bucks though, and has advanced college degrees, so she became a bigot again by at least 25...and since she was a BIPOC for 23 years prior, that makes her a...........race traitor (the bad kind)!
She's the author of "White Fragility", so, yes.
Since that's who came up with the "training", yep, a nightmare.
Nah, this gurlll right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_DiAngelo
She's the person behind Coke's "racial equity" "training".
Uh huh...Racial Equity = Socialist Command-Control (and it's been around for quite some time; many are just hearing it for the first time is what makes it trendy).
It was meant to do so.
No, but it can be used during a hypoglycemic crash to get dangerously low blood sugar level back up...and then you're going to need to go eat something to help level it out. Orange juice/slices work as well.
*am a person who has had to deal with blood sugar issues -- too low, too high, not constant -- all of my adult life; yes, I try not to partake of soda pop (although a cold RC on a hot day is a temptation I've been known to give in to from time to time)
And it will backfire spectacularly (if the stated intent of this 'training' is what they say it is)...this of course starts to activate the side of my mind that does like to delve into conspiracy theory, naturally.
Thinking is Bad For You; Here's Why:
They've been doing this for a while now -- it started gaining momentum during the second Obama administration (heh, go figure). At the same time the left started concern trolling the fact that many Latinos identify as white (oh no! back to your little brown corner brown people, how dare you!!!!!).
In the last few years it's been all about "blacks who are white supremacists -- how dare they!!!!!".
Everybody they don't like is a white supremacist and a nazi.
Fear of a Black Planet was really about Fear of a White Planet, who knew?
Sounds like a real catch.
Just remember kids: it's always more fun in person ;)
Hmmm, going to be interesting as to how that would shake out vis a vis the teacher's unions and the school districts, and the taxpayers. I predict more very disenchanted people....go for it Nanny!
It would be really funny if the parents all put one extreme or the other...and fucked up their little quiz.
Since it is still Black History Month, might as well make some good use of it: Manning Johnson and Booker T. Washington...oft forgotten, but black Americans who had something to say. I think it might be timely to give them and their words a searcheroo.
"Many white Northern politicians objectively aid the rapidly deteriorating racial situation through the exploitation of leftist propaganda to garner Negro votes. They care not a tinker’s dam about the Southern Negro and simply flatter the Northern Negro whom they consider a gullible fool. Getting elected and re-elected is their only concern.
Dishonorable mention should also be given to those white individuals and racial groups posing as friends of the Negro only to use him as a spearhead to attain certain objectives. They constitute in no small way the financial sinews of the movement. Naturally, they project programs and policies on those Negro tools who live off their largesse. Since “he who pays the piper calls the tune,” could anything less than full submission be expected by these so-called Negro leaders? It does not matter to what extent Negro Americans generally feel the brunt of the racial hostility which these harmful programs engender, so long as the so-called Negro leaders win the approbation of their white masters and the money keeps rolling in.
Significantly, among all the aforementioned groups and individuals, there is only one highly organized, trained and disciplined force, and that is the Communists. So they are able to use, manipulate and combine this weird assortment of leftist “missionaries” in one way or another to bring about “a social upheaval which will plow up Southern institutions to their roots.” -- Manning Johnson
Take an upvote to offset then.
True. I broke out the old U.S. cavalry manual to prove to her that she was asking her horse to carry a dangerously (for him) high load. 20% of their body weight is really all they should be carrying for any sort of jump work, including tack (unless you don't care if their legs give out). Either get on a diet or get a more suitable horse, preferably both.
This is a big issue for me because the horse world is FULL of eating disorders (the push in some areas for people to be ridiculously thin is a problem -- especially with the junior riders...which comes with other problems). Conversely, there are a lot of really overweight riders that feel they don't have to do anything about that because "it's the horse that does the work" -- bullshit. It is a sport, so you need to be at least in decent shape -- you owe it to the horse as well as yourself -- people need to be eating at least somewhat right...but they don't.
The fat movement creates a lot of buzz; it gets eyes on your product.The anorexic models aren't attractive either (not unless you like the "starving to death pre-teen" look). Nor is body building.
Anything that causes you to go to extremes of diet/behavior in order to look a certain way, is 1)really detrimental to your health; 2) really rather gross looking.
I say this as someone who used to be a gym rat and who suffered from wanting to look "pretty" for most of my teenage/early 20s. Body positivity would be a good thing IF it was based on real, healthy goals: like accepting who you are, what you look like, and being the healthiest person you can be. But, it's become this bullshit.
Uh, no -- she was beginner novice. Still, I encourage people to do the sport...and I'm not Olympic material either, highest I ran was * (and at the time was over 40 and just coming off a couple of pregnancies...so, you know, pretty freaking fluffy and will never get back to even my 35 yo. self; I knew all about making adjustments and trying to get back to some acceptable level of shape, and more than anything realizing the ethics of it with regards to the horse).
At that level, you can be chubby (especially if you're a good horseman and a balanced rider)...but you really shouldn't be anywhere close to morbidly obese and riding horses. It's more physical exertion than people realize. It's not fucking fair to the horses. And, since you seem to know the sport, especially not eventing!
Now, picture a morbidly obese, not so great rider on a nearly pony sized TB with a very light build...poor thing. It wasn't a bad little horse either, but he started becoming bad.
Because you're a bigot and a hater if you don't.

Yes, this is a thing now: a personal trainer who won't ask you to go on a diet. About 10 years ago I got called everything under the sun for suggesting that another eventer (horse competition) either go on a diet and lose at least 90 lbs. (she was morbidly obese) in order to spare her horse chronic injury, or sell and buy something that could carry her weight. Her horse was starting to become a dangerous stopper (who could blame him? he had a better grip on reality and self-preservation). It wasn't fair to her horse; it was going to get her seriously injured, and I was tactful and supportive -- hater! how dare you say the morbidly obese person shouldn't be "living her best life and truth; doing what she wants" to a poor pony sized thoroughbred!!! (and beating the shit out of him when he, wisely, wouldn't carry her over a fence)
They're still out there. The industry is supposed to self-regulate by not allowing too thin models, but they always find ways around it.
I had a student write a research paper on it last year -- it really is horrendous.
Now, they've just added another eating disorder to the mix...inclusivity!!!!
It might be time to re-visit Adam Kinzinger's connections to another IL politician, Aaron Shchock: https://www.wglt.org/post/schock-admits-illegal-contribution-request-kinzinger#stream/0
