NY Daily News Writer Goes Nuts Over Scalise Shooting, Blames White People for It

NY Daily News Writer Goes Nuts Over Scalise Shooting, Blames White People for It:
"In the wake of the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise on Wednesday, many liberal journalists and celebrities on Twitter and other social media sites began exploiting the tragedy, lobbying for gun control or bashing Republicans. 
But, New York Daily News commentator Shaun King chose specifically to blame white people for the incident. 
Embarking on a Twitter tirade he tweeted out the following,“Instead of white people, in general, taking the heat for James Hodgkinson, he is almost instantly being called a liberal radical.”

King’s tweets seemed to increase in intensity and anger as time went on as he at one point went as far as to call for the banning of white people. “But I continue to say that if America wanted to drastically reduce mass shootings by way of a human ban, white men must be banned first.”

King gained worldwide notoriety back in 2015 when, as a Black Lives Matter activist, he was revealed to be white despite having previously identified himself as black..."

Years of Deceit

By Tammy Derouin

From the time we are small children we are told and instructed on the importance of telling the truth. Early childhood lessons instill the importance of honesty. If you are wronged by a fellow playmate or classmate, you feel that everything will be cleared up once the truth is known. When lies are told to cover up wrongdoings and prevent punishment, the situation only gets worse. It's bad enough when you are wronged but what if, during the inevitable questioning, the one who wronged you, flat out lies? The perpetrator of this wrongdoing, in an attempt to save his own skin, decides to rewrite the story, blames you, destroyed evidence and may have even added a few colorful, albeit fictitious details and then to make it even more interesting, tries to get others to turn against you.

That jaw that just hit the floor, while in the principal's office, will eventually toughen up. Sadly, this will not be the last time that you will witness the truth being twisted, turned and then repackaged to benefit someone else. Having been wronged, how do you react? Do you retaliate and try to get even or do you learn from this experience and return to fight another day?

These early life lessons, and how we handle them, set the course our life will take and will determine our individual characteristics. Will others want to gravitate towards you or will they seek to distance themselves from you? Honesty and living by the Golden Rule are good ideals to follow but it doesn't mean that life will be easy. Unfortunately, we soon learn that many people in this world find it easier and more rewarding to lie and deceive others for their own personal or agenda-driven gain.......

Must read of the day!--How they "think"-----Advice on how to talk to the white working class.

Advice on how to talk to the white working class.:
"Advice on how to talk to the white working class without insulting them."
If there is one thing everyone should be able to agree on about the past seven months, it is that the white working class can no longer be described as “forgotten.”
Beaten-down?
Racist? 
Mistreated?
Angry?
Victimized?
Sure. 
We have read and heard the white working class described in all of those ways.
But the election of Donald Trump has ensured that we are discussing this group ad nauseam.
In a new book, White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America, Joan C. Williams argues that much of the analysis of this class has been misguided and condescending...
I spoke recently by phone with Williams, who is also a distinguished professor of law at University of California Hastings College of the Law. 
...we discussed Trump’s view of his own voters, the role of racism in class resentments, and whether there is any way to avoid being “condescending” to Trump’s supporters...

• He just completely bald-facedly lies to them as if they’re morons.
• But as for people like us, we should have some commitment to honesty. What attitude should we be taking toward people who voted for a racist buffoon that is scamming them?

Must read of the day!
