This headmaster. Wow. Anybody ever hear the Chris Rock skit ? > And you know what they did to the smart ones? Or at least the ones they thought were smart. They killed them. That’s what they did. That’s right. That was the policy of the United States Government, to kill smart black people. That’s right. So the real smart motherfuckers had to hide the fact that they were smart. The law of the land was, if you read, you die. If you read, [you] fucking die, OK? So you know what that means? The first black drug dealers didn’t even sell drugs. They sold books. “Yo, man, I got two pages, man, got two pages, man, check it out, man. “Yo, man, I got a word, check it out, man, I got a new word. “I got a new word, man. It’s new, man, it’s new, man.” So think about the poor slaves that could read but had to hide it. Think about the poor slaves that could read but was scared to teach they kids to read for fear they’d be killing they kids. Think about the poor slave who used to drive the buggy into town every day. Used to drive the buggy. He’s driving the buggy – and he could read. And up ahead he sees a real busy intersection. He’s driving the buggy. And then he sees a stop sign. Now he’s got a real dilemma. “Oh, Lor, “what is I gon’ do? “Oh, Lor, what is I gon’ do? “OK, if I go across this intersection, “I’m-a have a accident. “If I stop at this sign, these crackers’ll kill me. “Oh, Lor, what is I gon’ do?” And he don’t know. And he’s riding the buggy. He says, “Fuck it,” and goes through the intersection. He has a big old accident, wipes out. Wipes out, almost kills somebody. And the police come. “N i g g e r, what’s wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with you? “You could’ve killed somebody, n i g g e r. You see that stop sign?” “I don’t know what you talking ’bout, sir.” “N i g g e r, you see that stop sign right there?” “Do you mean that octagon thing? “N i g g e r, who taught you octagon?” It’s a straight line from that to this.

Which one? Both the teacher (ripping up the assignment and escorting the kid to the headmaster’s office seems over-the-top) and the headmaster deserve scorn. ---

The Business Insider article on the black kid who had to apologize to the headmaster goes on to say that the headmaster is on now on leave, but no mention of the shithead English teacher’s name nor what should damn-well be coming of him. Originally a New York Daily News story, there’s mention of them obtaining a recording of a later-on conversation betweeen the headmaster and the boy’s mom. However, there’s four quotes from the HM (that I thought didn’t help his case) and _nothing_ from the mom. Why does that not surprise me. ---

A [CNN article](https://cnn.com/2021/03/22/politics/sidney-powell-dominion-lawsuit-election-fraud/index.html) says, “Her attorneys also claim she had a right to make accusations because she was acting as an attorney for the Trump campaign, even during her right-wing TV appearances. As a result, Powell is asking a judge in Washington, DC, to dismiss the case, or to allow it to be moved to the federal court in Texas.” So are they saying that, acting as an attorney, she spewed bullshit claims? How should such a person be allowed to retain a license to practice law? ---

“no reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact”. So, “unleashing the kraken” was an analogy for “unleashing a huge fake sea monster worth of bullshit”. Who couldn’t see that coming? Oh yeah, too much of the country. ---

I can’t find the text of the Detroit suit against Powell, Wood _et alia_ at the moment but it does in fact specifically reference their failure to adhere to the requisite ethical standards in a rather snarky footnote. ---

Trump supporters are not reasonable. It is possible to for them to become reasonable, in which case they can make the decision to stop supporting Trump. If they continue to support Trump, they’re still unreasonable.
