The double standard of parental negligence

Image
On April 13 th Child Protective Services “retrieved” two unsupervised children from a park in Silver Springs, MD. The Meitivs are being investigated for child neglect after neighbors complained to CPS that the parents repeatedly allow their children to walk to and from a local park unsupervised. The park is two blocks away, the kids ages 10 and 6 routinely make the trek back and forth from their home and they were not harmed in any way.  Is this an example of people stepping up and protecting a child in need, or is it an example of buttinski do-gooders?  Flash back to August of 2014, in the middle of a Utah summer, when April Suwyn left her 11-month old baby in the car so she could run in her house to take a shit. Didn't realize what she had done for two hours. Oops! Mother calls it an accident and one that could have been avoided if she “had just gone to the gym” like she usually does. Really? Oh, no charges filed. There are many more of these example of suffocat...

Academy Awards non-racism called out by racists

Image
In an effort to keep racism alive in this country, the Twit0sphere exploded with angry twits from clueless race baiters yesterday when the Academy Award nominee list revealed that there was not enough diversity on the list. Within minutes, #oscarsowhite gained enough steam to actually become a thing thanks to the racist Twits that flooded the internet. After disappearing from the public eye after several news sources covered the horrifying death  of a St. Louis white guy by several black teenagers (using hammers), Al Sharpton reappeared to announce that he would have an emergency meeting to discuss the unchecked racism running  rampant in Hollywood. Sharpton began his diatribe with a very soothing statement meant to ease tensions on the subject: "The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets ," Isn't that special? That will surely bring people to realize that race is a very important topic in this country and that it is a h...

Another loss due to political correctness

Veteran ACC referee Karl Hess made an "ethnic" remark to former  chairman of the Wake Forest University board of trustees named   Mit Shah and is now out of a job. Mit Shah,  Now the CEO of an Atlanta-based hotel management company, is of Indian descent and was born in New Jersey, but he grew up in Winston-Salem. What could this 25 year ACC veteran have said that was so devastating during a recent  Louisville-Wake Forest game in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that it made Shad jump on his Twit account? Hold on to your mouse. Here it is: Karl Hess to me at the Wake-Louisville game tonight..."When I'm older, I want to sit in your seat & watch your Egyptian ass ref a game" #Wow Wow? How about something a little more appropriate like this: I'm such a thin skinned moron that I can't handle a retort from a referee whom I was flipping shit to. #tittybabiesunite! Hess was fired for this remark. Really? I can see the hyper...
