VP Harris slated for 'one-on-one' with Bill Clinton to discuss 'empowering women and girls'
Social media is having a field day
Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to sit down with former President Bill Clinton for a "one-on-one conversation" at a Clinton Foundation event this week, where the two will discuss "empowering women and girls."
What are the details?
Politico reporter Christopher Cadelago broke the news on Twitter, sharing that a press release touting an event for the Clinton Global Initiative University has on its Friday afternoon schedule "[a] one-one-one conversation with President Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world."
The Racist Sound of ‘Whiteness Is a Pandemic’
The Root is obviously a hyperbolically racial magazine, since its slogan is “The Blacker the Content the Sweeter the Truth.” It’s not surprising that it frequently publishes writer Damon Young, author of the memoir “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker.” We’re told he asked important and dramatic questions like “Will this white person’s potato salad kill me?”
Young’s memoir was honored as “required reading” by NPR and celebrated by Entertainment Weekly and The Washington Post, among others. He became a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times.
The paranoia overflowed from this self-described “professional Black person” on St. Patrick’s Day. Young posted a piece titled “Whiteness Is a Pandemic.” This was not a joke. It began: “Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expectancies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people — white people and people who are not white, my mom included. There will be people who die, in 2050, because of white supremacy-induced decisions from 1850.”
We can all imagine what might happen professionally to a writer if he were to pen this kind of foam-flecked copy but instead talk about “blackness.” It’d be denounced as virulently racist. But to hate everything about the infestation of Caucasians is not defined as “hate speech.” It’s somehow “anti-racist.”

Bond Denied For Felon Who Attacked Boy, 12
Video shows Missouri man's unprovoked sucker-punching
MARCH 23--A judge has denied a bond reduction for a convicted felon who last year was recorded brutally sucker-punching a 12-year-old boy dancing on a Missouri street corner, according to court records.
In a motion filed this month, Cedric Moore, 28, asked a Circuit Court judge to modify his $50,000 cash bond to a surety bond, which could be posted by a bail bondsman.
In the motion, attorney Theodore E. Liszewski reported that Moore “has also been accepted into the teen challenge program,” a reference to a nationwide residential care program for male defendants, probationers, and parolees that includes “individual and group biblical studies” and “work projects.”
However, Moore’s bid to depart the Scott County jail was denied by Judge Benjamin Lewis. A bond reduction motion filed last year by Moore was also rejected.
As seen in the above video, which was broadcast on Facebook Live, Moore snuck up on Ethan Hagler as the boy, accompanied by his hip-hop dance instructor, performed in downtown Cape Girardeau on a Friday evening.
After felling the child with a roundhouse punch to the head, the 205-pound Moore (seen in the above mug shot) fled in an SUV driven by an another individual. Bleeding from the head and nose, Hagler was treated for his injuries at a local hospital.
Moore was arrested a week after the unprovoked July 3 attack and has been behind bars since. He has been charged with assault and endangering the welfare of a child, both felonies to which Moore has pleaded not guilty.
In 2019, Moore was convicted of domestic assault and sentenced to five years probation and ordered to "obey all laws" and complete an anger management program and a “Batterer's Program.”
In light of his arrest for walloping Hagler, prosecutors have filed a probation violation charge against Moore, who could be ordered to serve prison time for...
