#1 Yes. This:
In America’s current "corrective apartheid," saying "no" to a black person is the worst sin a white can commit. It can lead to being fired, "canceled," or even physically attacked. The rules may in theory apply to everyone, but you can’t tell a black "No, you can’t use the bathroom if you’re not a customer," "No, you can’t eat in this area," "No, this parking is for handicapped only," "No, you may not trespass," "No, you may not grope women in this neighborhood."

Funny: it was Solzhenitsyn who identified exactly this strategy -- refuse to participate in official lies -- as the best and most effective way for ordinary people to resist totalitarianism.

#2 I am surprised the author had the courage to write this piece. The 'Radicalization of Black America' article found at the site is equally as revealing.

I dug a little deeper and found this amaxing David Cole article. “At First Quietly, Then Much Less Quietly”

#3 Why do you think I, occasionally, use the term "homegrown Palestinians"?

#4 Demographics: roughly 50% non-Hispanic white, 33% Hispanic of any race, 14% Asian, 1.8% black.

Hispanic is an ethnic group not a race. Hispana is the Roman name for what we know as Spain today, located as part of Europe. What is desperately classified as 'Hispanic' is either white or native aboriginal blood. Dare not ask them what they consider themselves. Just for the record, around here they consider themselves white and claim Spanish blood.

One thing is for sure.
The college she graduated from either has low graduation standards for her to have acquired a Masters Degree? Or she could have gone Bat $hit crazy later in life.

#7 When someone else is trying to categorize you, your answer should always be "I'm your good friend or worst enemy, but that's somewhat up to you..."

#9 Re Hispanics and "Dare not ask them what they consider themselves": actually the Census does ask them, and about 80% of them consider themselves white.

So in reality, "white" Americans aren't a minority or even close to a minority.

Still about 80% of the populace, thanks in large to measure to high birthrate White Hispanics

#10 Not Basque?

Now that you ask the question, there were Basques here. They did sheep herding. Then the BLM shut down the occupation as too intensive to the land.

#11 ^Something I remembered dimly from 20+ years ago.

BLM = Bureau of Land Management?

#13 Choose your own adventure board game I had invested in, at the prototype and testing phase, has decided to go woke.

Which means re-writing the scripts and addressing the graphics. Then the figurines and book/board layouts.

Absolutely demolishing the due date.

Creator's canon surrendered. Project destroyed. Successful contribution to arts and entertainment ruined. Legendary status gone.
Because dude didn't say no.
