Jim Redden is wrong on carpetbaggers

Jim Redden of the Portland Tribune says his friend Bill Wyatt solved the question of carpetbagging politicians 44 years ago.

And he is right.  That election started the slide away from native rule in Oregon towards immigrant rule in Oregon.  For 44 years, that rule has been accelerating.

I for one say immigrant rule has been an unmitigated disaster for Oregon.  

While Nick Kristoff is indeed Oregon born, he spent four out of the last six decades outside of this state, writing for the New York Times.  He has about as much idea how his neighbors in Yamhill County live as people in Portland understand a native 'gone rancher in Chemult.

The influx of foreign ideas into this state, particularly from New Yorkers and Californicators, has been especially disastrous.

So perhaps it is time to revisit foreign influence on Oregon.  Time to revisit rule by those who took away our language of  Chinook Wawa to replace it with drug and sex abuse.

For the first time since 1905

This spring, the Supreme Court of the United States, will once again be considering a case on USC 42 Title 42 Chapter 6A Subchapter XIX
Despite many changes to the law over the past century, the Biden Vaccine Mandate will be the first challenge to this law since Jacobson vs Massachusetts (1905), in which a State's Right to force vaccination upon a private individual or a group of individuals was established.
As the major Web 2.0 sites are now censoring discussion on this issue, I'm opening up for discussion- Did Congress intend this to become a power of the federal government?

The 1619 project is racist, and so is Ibram X Kendi

We send our children to school to learn from people who have expertise in that

No we don't. We send our children to school *because we are required by law to do so and for the free babysitting*.
Experts, as a rule, are awful.
Take Ibram X Kendi, for instance. The Doctor of Anti-racism, or is he? I would argue that everything he has ever proposed as anti-racism, would produce *unequal results* along racial lines, and thus is racist *by his own definition*.
Just as the 1619 project, by the very nature of its generalized racial genetic stereotyping, produces *unequal results* along racial lines, and thus is racist by the very definition of the anti-racists.
Perhaps Thomas Sowell is right instead, and no two cultures were ever meant to be equal to begin with.

Report on engagement of the majority in minority issues

This is a very interesting report surveying the engagement of majority white and asian men in the tech industry in the issue of CRT driven Diversity and Inclusion issues. The real downfall is how they talk about their political enemies, the "Detractors". Pages 30 and 31 of the PDF were especially interesting- since on page 30 they recommend an isolate and terminate strategy for detractors, but on page 31, they recommend a focus on belonging for all- which if accomplished, would certainly reduce the number of detractors. Except for it isn't honest- at all- instead of bringing white culture into belonging, they're still about the destruction of white male culture.

Because after all, they are stuck on their own racism.

banned from Facebook Again

I need to better control my urge to sarcastic violence.  This time I was banned for suggesting North Korea had the correct approach to rona paranoia: keep the unaffected working, shoot anybody who shows symptoms.

I am not real sure first world countries attempts to control this thing with vaccinations, lockdowns, masking, and tyranny has actually succeeded in doing anything better.

Race Consciousness is a Privilege

To a faceblind and mindblind autistic, race consciousness is a privilege I can never possess. 

I can barely recognize friends after 15 meetings.  Skin color is not a determining factor to me in recognizing somebody as human, because skin color in Oregon can change drastically with the seasons.

I also was a teenager with undiagnosed autism in the 1980s and early 1990s.  Big hair was a severe distracting problem in recognizing people.

Plus, to top it off, my family, like many of mixed race but so much white European that we are assumed to be either Germanic or Slavic or Celtic, did not have generational wealth before the 1928 stock market crash and barely managed to stay off welfare after, so no, I cannot call us privileged in any way.

This leads me to my discussion of how mindblindness and face blindness affect race consciousness.

If I cannot recognize you as having a race (at all, it takes a good deal of effort to recognize people as being human) and my mind blindness prevents me from having empathy for your situation (if I have not been in your situation, I do NOT know how you feel) then what may be coming across as racism on my part, is really racism on your part (judging me by my white skin) combined with utter confusion as to why you are angry on me part (for not being sensitive enough to understand).

So in conclusion- stereotypical genetic generalizations are completely confusing for many autistic, and the world would be a better place without them.
