ESPN has withdrawn one of its sportscasters from calling a University of Virginia football game for the sole reason that he bears the evil name of Robert Lee. Not Robert E Lee, the Civil War evil general’s name, just Robert Lee. That’s too close to evil for the PC gang.
Instead Lee (if I might be permitted to use that name) was reassigned to “a different game” where he’ll be more out of sight.
ESPN notes that assignments are switched all the time.
Including for racist reasons.
A petition to label the anti-Trump group “Antifa” a terrorist organization sped past the requirement of 100,000 signatures needed to get a response from the White House.
The petition says Antifa’s “violent actions in multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers throughout the United States” earns it the terrorist designation.
Assaults from Evergreen College to Charlottesville, using terrorist tactics and purposes, if not the bombs and mass shootings of more classical terrorist gangs.
The petition can be seen, and signed, here.
Meanwhile, ex-Vermont Governor and Democratic Presidential candidate Howard Dean (D) is a hate group all to himself.
If you want to vote for a racist in the White House, then you better vote for Republicans[.]
The Left never threatens violence against those with whom they disagree. Mm, mm.
A Democratic state senator in Missouri is facing resignation calls for posting on Facebook Thursday that she hopes President Trump is assassinated.
“I hope Trump is assassinated!” state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D) wrote.
No violence. Just murder.
Then, showing the courage of her conviction, she deleted her Facebook post and pretended to apologize for it.
Sure.
Update: She apologized again.
President Trump I apologize to you and your family. I also apologize to all the people in Missouri. And I also apologize to my colleagues in the Missouri legislature for the mistake that I made.
…and the attack on Southern heritage (according to some, who have nothing to do with any hate group) or on symbols of slavery and oppression (according to some others, who also have nothing to do with any hate group). This one is by Steven Hayward of Powerline:
So we seem to be on our way to tearing down every statue related to the Democratic Party’s largest achievement in American history—the Confederate States of America. Funny how the Confederate battle flag, and now statues, didn’t start to come down until Republicans became ascendant in southern states. Democrats who had a monopoly grip on the South for decades had lots of time to take these steps, but didn’t. You’d almost think they were opportunists.

Here’s an example, People’s Republic of China style. Including the fact that gender discrimination in the workplace is illegal in the PRC, while its governments at all levels blithely ignore those laws.
[A]bout 22% of women have experienced severe or very severe discrimination when seeking employment, according to Zhaopin Ltd, an online recruiter. … That percentage rose to about 43% for women with graduate degrees.
And
A trawl through job listings on Boss Zhipin, the recruitment site, showed some tech companies state explicitly that positions are just for men.
An e-commerce marketing job at NetEase Inc, one of the largest internet companies in China, recently stated that only male candidates need to apply because “the job is tough and stressful.
It begins early on in their society.
Parents often tell their daughters they won’t be good at math or physics or coding.
Welcome to paradise.
