#Trump has opened an investigation into #HarvardLawReview “based on reports of race-based discrimination permeating the operations of the journal,” per an April 28 press release from the US Dept of Health & Human Services [weird].

At issue is whether the #law review’s policies for membership & article selection violate #TitleVI of the #CivilRights Act, which bans #discrimination based on #race, #color & #NationalOrigin in #education programs receiving federal #funding.

Did you know that an #ancient #Olympics athlete was chosen by the #gods?

Eubotas knew he would win the #running #race at the 93rd Games in 408 BC. The #oracle of Cyrene had told him!

He commissioned his own statue before the games - & of course he DID #win!

44 years later, Eubotas won the chariot race in the 104th Games (as an owner, to whom the prize went).

He possibly also won six other races.

The prettiest courtesan of the age was madly in love with him, too.

Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" is a bona fide smash — it made $48 million in the U.S. in its first weekend, then had a mere 6% decline in its second. Critics adore it too. So why have outlets from The New York Times to Variety been equivocating over its success? Um, racism? "The film industry always acts like hit pictures from people of color are anomalies, preferring to stubbornly hedge their bets on franchise fare that’ll land those precious four quadrants [male and female, under and over 25]," writes @AVClub's Craig D. Lindsay. "But, as African-American auteurs like Coogler and Jordan Peele have shown, non-IP popcorn films starring people of various shades will attract many people of many shades at the box office — and these young Blerds are making the powerful white people look bad!"

Liberal Currents

"As hierarchy broke down and the individual became elevated, the idea of #slavery became more problematic. #Race as a justification for slavery hardened over time. By the 19th century, when the invention of the cotton gin gave slavery new economic life, racism was a full-fledged, virulent, highly defensive #ideology. That's when slavery and racism acquired a fleshed out #theology, too." liberalcurrents.com/the-red-st

Liberal Currents · The Red State Religious NarrativeSouthern democracy, like every other aspect of Southern society, was shaped by the political and economic needs of the slaveholding planter class and is maintained by the MAGA movement via shame and projection.
