Maine legislature censures Rep. Laurel Libby for pointing out trans athlete who won girls' competition

….U.S. Department of Education announced it will be investigating the state for allowing trans athletes to compete in girls sports and potential Title IX violations…

….A recent New York Times/Ipsos survey found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, don't think transgender athletes should be permitted to compete in women's sports.

Of the 2,128 people who participated, 79% said biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to participate in women's sports. Of the 1,025 people who identified as Democrats or leaning Democrat, 67% said transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women….

Pastor with ties to Pete Hegseth claimed slavery promoted ‘affection between the races’ in South

Doug Wilson, founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), wrote in his 1996 book Southern Slavery: As It Was, that there had “never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world.”
...
“Slavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity,” Wilson wrote in his book.
...
He added that “in spite of the evils contained in the system, we cannot overlook the benefits of slavery for both blacks and whites. “Slavery produced in the South a genuine affection between the races that we believe we can say has never existed in any nation before the War or since.”

The pastor also admitted that there were "abuses" under slavery, but maintained that "the benevolent master is not a myth."

Just more of the "Lost Cause" crap trying to infiltrate reality. They were very successful with that stuff infecting the teaching of history in this country for a good 100 years after the Civil War (i.e. stuff like the benevolence and benefits of slavery, or like how Grant was a drunken, unskilled, butcher of a general, etc). Luckily, there's been a lot better and less biased scholarship over the last 30-50 years that has really counteracted a lot of that Lost Cause crap that even many of us on these boards was probably taught at one point or another. Never underestimate how racist all of American society was, North and South, after the Civil War and how that really undercut the Reconstruction period and beyond. Only with that level of racism could something like the Lost Cause have such staying power.

I think Wilson is trying to glamorize true stories like this. Let there be no doubt that all the people in that church were most likely racist, it’s just the way it was. Anyone with a brain can see their was some respect and admiration in that church as well

“As we roam back in the past, events of earlier days rise in bright view to mind; one link in memory's chain runs into another. I cannot forbear here referring to an incident which occurred a few years before the civil war. There came to our settlement from the North, three cultured, refined, and educated ladies as schoolteachers. Their first Sabbath of worship in the South was at the Mount Olive Baptist church, in Harris County, Georgia. The pastor of the church, for some unknown cause, failed to appear at the hour appointed for service. We waited for some time and still no preacher. Then the good old deacon, known by all as “Uncle Billy” Moore, who had lived by reason of strength beyond the allotted threescore and ten, arose, and said, as the hour for service was passing, as the minister's arrival seemed doubtful, and as the congregation had all assembled, he would suggest that Uncle Sol Mitchell, an old and honored negro, preach for us, as he was present, and a member and preacher in good standing in the Mount Olive church. There was not even a shadow of an objection to the negro slave's occupying the pulpit, [11] as our friends from the far North were witness. Ah, friends of the Green Mountain and Bay State, you will, if yet in the flesh, remember with me that Sabbath so long ago in the South, when the negro slave walked up to the pulpit, opened the hymn-book, and announced the old sacred song:”

Of course there are stories like that that show respect and admiration. But when those stories try to talk over the horrors of slavery and the evilness of the institution itself, that's where it veers into gaslighting and "Lost Cause" territory. Not every plantation was like "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and some slaves, regardless of their position, led relatively peaceful lives. But again, that doesn't in anyway justify or sanction the inhumanity of keeping people as slaves. It was wrong then, it's wrong now, and will forever be wrong.

Is it still?

Could books about the horrors of slavery and the evilness of the institution itself be banned in some states? If the answer to that question is yes or even maybe then it is no longer "just Captain obvious speaking" and it is worth repeating to keep it from being forgotten or whitewashed.

Jon Stewart speaks out against DEI amid Trump’s purge of initiatives nationwide

“I look at it as more competition,” he added. “We have supply lines in this country, entrenched poverty and groups that have been explicitly kept out of … equity through government action and all kinds of other ways. If you reanimate those supply lines, you strengthen the result.”

He urged Gillespe to not think of it as “diversity,” but as “emerging markets.”

“Suddenly you view it as an engine of economic growth,” said Stewart.

“I mean, is there a sports league that got worse after Blacks were allowed to play?” asked Gillespie to laughter from Stewart.

“And in every possible way … you are walling off a huge source of powerful possibility,” he added.

Stewart went on to argue that veterans have been “walled off in many ways,” as have women and people in poor neighborhoods.

“Appalachia has been walled off forever. To me, that’s what inclusion and diversity and equity means,” he said.

Titled “Violence against women and girls in sports,” the August study conducted by the United Nations found that by March 30, 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 women’s division events across 29 different sports were defeated by transgender-identifying men. Male athletes have taken over 890 medals from female athletes, the report said…
