any of her artefacts from this gallery to reduce her impact.
It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s what we were able to do in
the short-term while determining long-term practices.”

--- Quote ---
> British author J. K. Rowling, writer of Harry Potter and other
Wizarding World works, has garnered attention for her support of
the Labour Party under Gordon Brown and her criticism of the
party under Jeremy Corbyn
> ...
> On 22 October 2015, a letter was published in The Guardian
signed by Rowling (along with over 150 other figures from arts
and politics) opposing the cultural boycott of Israel
> ...
> She condemned societal beauty standards in "this
skinny-obsessed world" and magazine covers that feature people
who are "either seriously ill or suffering from an eating
disorder".[136]

> The wizarding world first created by Rowling is of, for and by
White people. I don’t think there’s much to argue there.
>
> The few non-White characters she does introduce in the books
are underdeveloped lazy additions that highlight her prejudice.

> Take for instance the Patil sisters. Remember their agonising
outfits at the Yule Ball in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire — dull, unflattering lehengas, which seemed like a mockery
of Indian culture. A lot of us are still and will always be
unforgiving of that travesty.
>
> Then comes Cho Chang. In a world full of fantastical names
like Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Dolores Umbridge,
Nymphadora Tonks, Luna Lovegood and so on, Rowling settled on
mixing two Korean surnames to portray the only visible Asian
character. Rowling may as well have introduced another Karen or
Susan type character instead of creating a token Asian character
she clearly put no thought into.
> ...
> She was slammed for the way she wrote about ‘Native American
wizards’, and was attacked for “using an ancient culture as a
convenient prop”.

specialises in women’s health, had been scrapped as a result of
her request that only biological women be involved in her
intimate care and later developed an abscess.

“perceive the patient’s request and rationale as a
discrimination on gender and sex against… hospital employees”.

Estop Green, the hospital’s CEO, emailed her notifying her that
“we do not share your beliefs and are not able to adhere to your
requests” and therefore the operation was being cancelled.

the cancellation,” she said. “There was a sudden and observable
deterioration in my health. An abscess that had not been visible
on scans only a short time earlier had suddenly appeared. They
endangered my life by cancelling that operation. I could have
died of sepsis.”

recover from. I now have unnecessary deep scarring and my
mobility was impacted for months; as a result, I developed a

BOYCOTT DENNY'S!
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PI5J2Vuaog
This is not an isolated incident:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny%27s#Discrimination
--- Quote ---
> Denny's has been involved in discrimination lawsuits involving
food servers denying or providing inferior service to racial
minorities, especially black customers.[33]
>
> A 1993 incident occurred when six black United States Secret
Service agents visited Denny's restaurant in Annapolis,
Maryland. They were forced to wait an hour for service while
their white companions were seated immediately.[34][35]
>
> In San Jose, California, in 1991, several black teenagers were
refused service unless they agreed to pay in advance.[36][37]
>
> In 1994, Denny's settled a class action lawsuit filed by black
customers who had been refused service, forced to wait longer,
or pay more than white customers. The $54.4 million settlement
was the largest under federal public accommodations laws
established thirty years earlier.[38]
>
> In 1995, a black Denny's customer in Sacramento, California,
was told that he and his friends had to pay upfront at the
counter upon ordering their meals. He questioned the waitress:
"We asked the waitress about it and she said that some black
guys who had been in the restaurant earlier had made a scene and
walked out without paying their bill. So the manager now wanted
all blacks to pay up front."[39]
>
> In 1997, six Asian-American students from Syracuse University
visited a local Denny's restaurant late at night. They waited
more than half an hour as white patrons were regularly served,
seated, and offered more helpings. They complained to management
and their server but were forced to leave the establishment by
two security guards called by Denny's management. Then,
according to the students, a group of white men came out of
Denny's, attacked them[40] and shouted racial epithets. Several
of the students were beaten unconscious.[41][42]
> ...
> In 2014, a Denny's location in Deming, New Mexico was
subjected to a discrimination claim by an LGBT group, alleging
that wait staff used homophobic slurs and refused to serve a
group of gay, lesbian, and transgender customers who were
attending a gay pride celebration. One year later, Denny's
agreed to donate $13,000 to Deming Pride, pay $3,250 to a female
customer who was subjected to abusive behavior by wait staff,
and retrain its employees about discrimination policies.[47]
>
> In 2017, the staff at a Denny's in Vancouver was accused of
making an Indigenous woman pay for her meal before it was
served.[48] After the customer left, restaurant staff called
police to report the incident, alleging that the patron had a
sharp metal object in their pocket.[49]

--- Quote ---
> Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, has
been removed from the board of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Foundation, which he also helped found, one day after an
interview with him was published in The New York Times in which
he made comments that were widely criticized as sexist and
racist.
> ...
> the dismissal of Mr. Wenner comes after an interview with The
Times, published Friday and timed to the publication of his new
book, called “The Masters,” which collects his decades of
interviews with rock legends like Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John
Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Bono—all of them white and male.
> ...
> In the interview, David Marchese of The Times asked Mr.
Wenner, 77, why the book included no women or people of color.
>
> Regarding women, Mr. Wenner said, “Just none of them were as
articulate enough on this intellectual level,” and remarked that
Joni Mitchell “was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll.”
>
> His answer about artists of color was less direct. “Of Black
artists—you know, Stevie Wonder, genius, right?” he said. “I
suppose when you use a word as broad as ‘masters,’ the fault is
using that word. Maybe Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I mean,
they just didn’t articulate at that level.”

HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/grievous-southern-baptist-convention-expels-204355749.html
--- Quote ---
> The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest
Protestant denomination, has kicked a rural Oklahoma church out
of its membership after photos and videos of their pastor
impersonating singer Ray Charles in blackface emerged on social
media.
>
> A spokesperson for the organization said the executive
committee ruled that the Matoaka Baptist Church in Ochelata,
Oklahoma, was “not in friendly cooperation” with the convention.
The decision came after the church, led by the Rev. Sherman
Jaquess, failed to “cooperate in resolving concerns regarding
discriminatory behavior on the basis of ethnicity,” according to
CNN.
>
> Jaquess, a white man, was seen in a video dressed in a Jheri
curl wig, black body paint (face, neck, hands), and red lips
during a Valentine’s Day talent show in 2017.
> ...
> “We have people [who] are offended by a lot of things, but
it’s hard to play Ray Charles if you don’t play a Black man; it
wasn’t anything,” he said.
>
> The clergyman was shocked at people being offended despite him
looking nothing like the brown-skinned Charles, who wore his
hair for most of his career in a military-styled crew cut.
>
> During a sermon, he said, “I just want to publicly say I don’t
have a racial bone in my body. I’m not racist at all.”
> ...
> The pastor has a history of dressing up as different races.
Once, during a cowboys-and-Indians-themed event at the Falls
Creek church camp, he appeared as an indigenous woman in
brownface.
>
> Lewis took to social media to congratulate the convention.
>
> “Way to go @SouthernBapCon for kicking this racist out. Thank
you supporters for keeping the pressure on,” he tweeted.

nothing like the actual Charles:

Best comment:
--- Quote ---
> god commanded “let there be racism” and there was. Side note,
jesus wept.

If only the commenter could have written "Yahweh" instead of
"god", this would have been a Gnostic comment.

> Of course he did not think it was a big deal, of course. This
kind of disrespect and hatred towards black people has not
stopped and is not going to stop. White people do whatever they
want to black people, sometimes they have consequences and
sometimes they don't. It's always the response. I did not think
what I did was offensive, I did not have any bad intentions.
Pure nonsense.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> White people see nothing racist in demeaning people as a way
to honor them. He demeans Ray Charles to honor him. These are
the same people who support the idea among conservatives that
slavery was good and beneficial to Black people.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Let's be honest here, including you white people. We have
NEVER seen any black person in this country who looks like this.
Why do yall keep this characature alive, it literally doesn't
make any sense. It's ignorant, false, and racist.
