I was just skimming around. This one stuck out to me as particularly hilarious. I heard something like this during covid, but not explained in such a dumbass manner.


Saying "slaves" is bad because it removes agency, agency is the ability to choose, therefore by returning agency you are implying that they chose to "be enslaved"?
I think they are implying their fellow Africans chose to exchange them for booze and muskets, in which case I agree with and support the use of those expressions.

The African slavers were going to sell their captives to the highest bidder ...

Whitey just so happened to be the highest bidder because - to Europeans back then - buying directly from the slavers was akin to hitting Costco, paying the membership fee, and buying in bulk.

The alternative (for both Whitey and the African slavers) was the Mediterranean Muslim middlemen and their overpriced leftovers.

EDIT: The Muslim middlemen weren't selling guns and booze to African slavers. They didn't have enough of the former and Allah forbids the latter.

The President of Thomas Jefferson University in Phileadelphia, Mark Tykocinski, has apologized for the hate crime of... liking thirty tweets of a writer and commentator named Alex Berenson.



Mark Tykocinski, a seventy year old Yale educated molecular Immunologist, has received condemnation from his colleagues, including the CEO of the College.

Phileadelphia Inquirer said:
The chief executive officer of Thomas Jefferson University said he was "disappointed" in president Mark Tykocinski's "careless use" of his Twitter account in which he "liked" tweets that question the science of COVID-19 vaccines and call gender reassignment surgery "child mutilation."

This story surfaced due to the courageous scholarship of the Phileadelphia Inquirer which apparently looked into Dr. Tykocinski's Twitter Like history... and then asked his colleagues their opinions of said like history... and then publishing a story about it on the weekend.

Phileadelphia Inquirer said:
a letter of apology from Tykocinski, came a day after The Inquirer published a story in which employees and others were critical of Tykocinski's "like" history on his Twitter account, which identifies him as president of Jefferson and dean of the Sidney Kimmel Medical College.

"Two years after their introduction, the mRNAs Covid vaccines have proven to be what we all should have expected," said a Dec. 11 tweet by Alex Berenson, once called "the pandemic's wrongest man" by the Atlantic. "Another in a long line of overhyped, rushed, profit-driven Big Pharma flops with weak long-term efficacy and a lousy side effect profile. …"

That was among nearly 30 tweets by Berenson that Tykocinski liked in the last year. That tweet remained on Tykocinski's "like" list as of early Monday afternoon, though some of the others that The Inquirer reported Saturday, including one calling gender reassignment surgery "child mutilation," were removed. Of Tykocinski's 539 "likes" that existed before the Inquirer story was posted, 348 remained by early afternoon. By midafternoon, it was down to 203.

Such powerful mainstream journalism.



Universities in fact shouldn't be havens of free speech according to many such as Susan Snyder of the Phileadelphia Inquirer who "broke" this story.

Fucking authoritarian thugs, the lot of them.

Oh, sorry, these morally repugnant Leftoids don't like being called out as being the jackbooted thugs they are? Tough shit.

This guy is a highly respected doctor in his field, has done nothing actually controversial his entire life, was liked by staff and (non-Leftist) student alike... and he's been besmirched because a bunch of fucking braindead, dyed-haired cunts think he's evil incarnate because his views run contrary to their batshit insane flavours of socialism.

Oh apparently he was a Graduate Student... a really old looking one I guess...

WAFB said:
In a statement to WAFB, LSU officials said, "As a university, we foster open and respectful dialogue. Like everyone, graduate students with teaching assignments have the right to express their opinions, but this profanity-filled, threatening call crossed the line. This does not exhibit the character we expect of someone given the privilege of teaching as part of their graduate assistantship. The student will be allowed to continue their studies but will not be extended the opportunity to teach in the future."

They put an end to his (White?) privilege of being able to teach at the school, or according to RateMyProfessor, rant about being a liberal in lecture form at LSU anymore.


Go Tigers!
