    Thanks for that Ursus,

    It was planned Parenthood I had heard the allegations against, abortions in the poor areas and fertility treatments in the more well off areas.

      Interesting

      Planned Parenthood has some gruesomely eugenic skeletons in its origins that it is still dealing with, but I don't associate them with fertility treatments.

      Though that may be because fertility treatments in Manhattan are largely ultra-high end for profit medicine, with offices on Park or Fifth and prices to match. Exceeded in this respect only by cosmetic surgery.

        On white supremacy generally, I recommend the Race and Democracy podcast. Latest episode is on James Baldwin:

                  I don't think that they are going to be able to silence everyone

                  Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) filed a court motion Wednesday seeking to bar an unidentified grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case from speaking about the proceedings, which the juror alleges Cameron has publicly mischaracterized.

                  The motion comes the same day as the city of Louisville released a trove of documents from the police department’s internal investigation into the fatal shooting of Taylor while officers carried out a search warrant in March. The documents show other Louisville officers criticizing the raid and cast doubt on the police department’s justifications for the warrant, a key question addressed only in passing in recently released audio of the grand jury proceedings.

                    This is getting worse by the day.
                    It's going to be hard for Cameron to escape with his career intact here.
                    The police and their unions will close ranks and protect each other as per usual.

                      Well, you are the last person I need to tell that they will be quite happy to throw him under the bus for this. It is to a large extent what he is there for in the first place.

                          The whole magistrate thing is just bizarre and mediaeval.

                              So we now find out that Amy Cooper (the dog lady in Central Park who called the cops on the black guy) called 911 a second time to say that Christian Cooper had assaulted her.

                                "then later claiming he had tried to assaulted her."

                                Get it together, NYTimes.

                                In fairness, I've published many mistakes like that. But I don't have professional copyeditors. I guess the times doesn't either.

                                  It would be interested to know the thoughts of anyone who was trying to defend her on OTF.

                                  Again, I'm not really surprised here. Her level of playacting would have embarrassed Neymar.

                                    You can't mean me! I didnt defend her but did say despite her behaviour she shouldn't be charged with attempted murder as some were advocating

                                      Ok.

                                      Explain to a dullard, what is "critical race theory"

                                      Is it setting out when and where white privilege is in action thus leading to institutional, systematic, and procedural discrimination, or have I got the wrong end of this again?

                                        WIKI says this.
                                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory.

                                        In short it is Systematic White Supremacy in every area of activity, including Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex, and War/Counter-War by people classified as whte against people classified as non-white.

                                          So what does that mean?


                                          Is it critiquing white supremacy or excusing it?

                                            Taken from the link i sent you. Seems pretty clear what they mean.
                                            It's not a term i use personally, but it seems to be a rip-off of the work of Neely Fuller Jr.

                                            "CRT recognizes that racism is engrained in the fabric and system of the American society. The individual racist need not exist to note that institutional racism is pervasive in the dominant culture. This is the analytical lens that CRT uses in examining existing power structures. CRT identifies that these power structures are based on white privilege and white supremacy, which perpetuates the marginalization of people of color."

                                              I had partially assumed it meant it was styled as an "objective" analysis of racism in society, and also that could be skewed to argue it doesn't necessarily exist.

                                                It's not a term I use or subscribe to. Maybe someone else can elaborate.
                                                Anyway, I think everyone knows what White Supremacy is all about by now.

                                                    Thanks for that, dm.

                                                    On an African history tip, *amusingly enough* I'm writing a report (for paid work, not for fun) on the current situation in Chad and drawing in the legacy of French colonialism. The report itself isn't amusing, of course.

                                                    I last researched and wrote on fragile states in 2009, and it seems Chad, while still fragile, has moved down the chart from No. 2, and is now at number 7 in the index of most fragile states. Woohoo, go Chad.
