A Professor Who Studies Housing Discrimination Says It Happened to Him - NYT

Nathan Connolly and his wife, Shani Mott, say an appraisal company undervalued their home based on their race. The couple has filed a lawsuit in Maryland.

A professor of history at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Connolly is an expert on redlining and the legacy of white supremacy in American cities, and much of his research focuses on the role of race in the housing market.
Months after that first appraisal, the couple applied for another refinance loan, removed family photos and had a white male colleague — another Johns Hopkins professor — stand in for them. The second appraiser valued the house at $750,000.

This week, Dr. Connolly and Dr. Mott sued loanDepot, which is based in Foothill Ranch, Calif., as well as 20/20 Valuations and Shane Lanham, the owner of 20/20 Valuations. Mr. Lanham is the appraiser who conducted the first appraisal.

Nothing says "pro life" like threatening doctors with death.

BTW, there were quite a few incidents like this during the height of COVID, too, because people were claiming the doctors were lying about COVID, so they also got death threats.

What do we call them? I cant use the alternative to fascist thing we talked about, some of them are not overtly racist.

What do you call someone who on this board starts the argument with any abortion is taking of a human life, how do you talk to someone who doesn't understand the simplest and most basic of science?

You know me, I need a two or three word term to call them, or one word I suppose.

"Anti Woman"
"Pro Forced Birth"

etc...

We’ve gone way beyond dog whistles, to calling up the reserves.

Everybody vote!!

The Alabama GOP apologized after they ‘accidentally’ posted a GOP image with klansmen embedded in the imagery.
Accident or intentional?

Why I have never had a problem calling conservative whites fascism-enablers, small-c confederates, and sometimes outright "fascist."

It's not a conflation on my part. Conservative whites embrace this kind of anti-immigrant, and white-victimhood, and race-demagoguery designed to appeal to them, which have become founding principles of one of two political parties in this country.

Cry me a river if it hurts the snowflake feelings of the people who are destroying this country. They have been carrying over this ideology since at least the proto-Klan Know-Nothings (many of whom, by the way, turned into Republicans). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

And yes, this guy is right: the ideology is identical.

Sometimes people give me shit for comparing the talking points of right-wing media and politicians to those of the KKK.

I want to say I’m sorry: they’re not comparable, they’re actually identical.

Public schools receive 'In God We Trust' poster donations as new Texas law requires their display
https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/19/us/texas ... index.html

Texas school districts have begun receiving donated posters and framed copies of the national motto, "In God We Trust," that they will now be required to display in accordance with a new state law.

[snip][end]

Got that? Many of these same districts which have banned display of Pride Flags, BLM Posters, and anything with "slogans" or messages on them or implied, are mandating that these posters be displayed in a conspicuous place at every school.

Because, well, they are against indoctrination.

Next question: change that word to "Allah" and I think the freakout across Texas would be legendary.

Marjorie Taylor Greene rolls out "Protect Children’s Innocence Act"


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched her new "Protect Children's Innocence Act" on Friday which details that anyone who "knowingly performs any gender-affirming care on a minor" is guilty of a class C felony, carrying a punishment of 10 to 25 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, per a statement given by Greene's office.

In addition to pressing a criminalizing thumb on those providing gender-affirming care to trans youth, the new Act also looks to "prohibit using federal funds for gender-affirming health care, including in Affordable Healthcare Act plans and bar colleges and universities from offering instruction on gender-affirming care."

Expressing her thoughts on what prompted the Act during an appearance on the Fox News show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Thursday, Greene said "When it comes to gender-affirming care, which is really child abuse, this is actually an assault and it's child abuse . . . This practice should never happen. It's so disgusting and appalling … this needs to be illegal."

Suffice to say, board cons support this.

Charlie Kirk Wants GOP State AGs To 'Raid' Liberal Groups
"Raids must be met with raids,” Kirk said. What?

By John Amato — August 19, 2022

Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk told "Christian" nationalist Eric Metaxas that Republican state attorneys should retaliate for the FBI search on Trump's Florida resident by raiding liberal groups without probable cause.

Fascism at its finest. Kirk said Republican lawmakers should raid Planned Parenthood and other groups he considered to be left-wing, calling them criminal groups.

Kirk's group is supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' recent countrywide promotion tour to support the most extreme wackos this country has seen running for office.

[ProfX]

He's bad mojo.

Charlie Kirk is the head of Turning Point USA, a group I'm quite familiar with because they try and get professors they consider "too woke" or whatever else fired. They advocate filming professors' lectures without their knowledge and permission. I guess so they can then use this as "evidence" of whatever BS they want to claim.

As to that bill by MTG...

Note that, shockingly, EmptyG is as always full of shit. She's protecting "children", she says, except, uh, it prevents teaching about trans identity in colleges and universities (where 99% of students are adults), & interferes with doctors and patients who are adults from undergoing any procedures ... not that anything in the bill really "protects" children, mind, but the whole bill and its title is a lie.

... the bill will go nowhere, but even glenn who says she is an embarrassment to the GOP, acknowledges the party loves her because she raises a lot of money. Well, she raises a lot of money, because, duh, this is what "the base" wants.

DeSantis takes crusade against ‘woke ideology’ [ ] to Pennsylvania, Ohio as he rallies for GOP candidates - Yahoo Finance/The Hill

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) railed against “woke ideology” and touched on familiar culture war issues like critical race theory (CRT) and the participation of transgender women and girls in sports as he campaigned for Republicans in the key swing states of Pennsylvania and Ohio.

DeSantis traveled first to Pittsburgh to campaign for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano (R) and later Youngstown, Ohio, to rally with Republican Senate hopeful J.D. Vance. Both events were organized by Turning Point Action.

TPUSA is a Trump Youth organization. J.D. Vance is a straight up white nationalist, and so is Ron DeSantis.

Republican Senate candidates promote ‘replacement’ theory - AP

Too bad these conservative whites aren't beating down the doors of the local PTA to make sure great replacement theory is never taught in public schools.

:problem:

DeSantis has also been leaning into national culture war issues in Florida, raising his profile among the Republican Party’s conservative base.

Can't govern, can't think independently, can't act independently; need authoritarianism, need demagoguery, need the backing of state violence.

Basic white conservatism.

Even RAND gets it.

A Dangerous Web: Mapping Racially and Ethnically Motived Violent Extremism

Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism: The Basics

Racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism (REMVE) refers to a loosely organized movement of individuals and groups that espouse some combination of racist, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic, and homophobic ideology. REMVE actors see their race or ethnicity under threat and promote the use of or engage in violence against a given population group. The majority of REMVE actors are motivated by cultural nationalism or White supremacy—beliefs that Caucasian or "Aryan" peoples represent superior races, and that "White culture" is superior to other cultures. Many REMVE actors also are motivated by White nationalism, which overlaps with White supremacy: Adherents espouse the belief that the White race is superior to others, and White nationalism emphasizes defining a country or region by White racial identity and promoting the interests of White people exclusively and at the expense of non-White populations.

More-common terms related to REMVE include far-right extremism, right-wing terrorism, radical right, or extreme right, which are used more frequently in literature and by other countries. Although these terms are not synonymous, they are used somewhat interchangeably and often without precise definitions. These terms also can be applied to political parties and movements that participate in political systems and do not engage in violence directly, particularly in Europe, where many parliamentary systems have formal far-right parties that participate in elections.

The U.S. State Department commissioned the RAND Corporation to produce a comprehensive network analysis of the White Identity Terrorist Movement (WITM) and REMVE in response to a congressional requirement from the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act.[2] The analysis—which sought to identify key actors, organizations, and supporting infrastructure and the relationships and interactions between them—is intended to inform a U.S. government strategy to counter REMVE.


About Trends

• Although right-wing extremism has been increasing both online and offline, the movement is largely online. There are more-limited instances of offline activity and violence.

• There has been a shift toward a post-organizational landscape that is made up of decentralized networks of small cells and lone actors.


About Transnational Dynamics

• Internationalization of the REMVE movement has accelerated across the West in recent years; online messaging and social media platforms contribute to the spread of far-right extremist ideologies. However, much of the far-right discourse in online conversations stays within national boundaries.

• REMVE concerns are generally local and domestically focused, although online REMVE actors in different countries share many of the same sentiments, especially about anti-immigration tropes.


About Recruitment

• Mainstreaming—for example, sharing messages on Twitter that mingle extremist views with mainstream messages (e.g., using hashtags) or that normalize extremist perspectives using humor or satire—is the most common recruitment tactic.

• In-person recruitment activities often are centered around festivals, concerts, and other events, such as those related to the mixed martial arts scene.


About Training

• In the United States, REMVE groups conduct both field-based paramilitary training and online security training. Some groups encourage their members to seek organized, professional training; this includes urging group members to join the U.S. military.

• Both Russia and Ukraine have attracted extremists interested in training. Neo-Nazis (who are mostly Russian, but some are American) have trained and fought with militias, such as the Azov Battalion, in Ukraine. The Russian Imperial Movement organizes training through its armed wing, the Imperial Legion.


About Fundraising

• Most funding is obtained through legal, public means. Major funding sources (both in dollar amount and number of organizations and transactions) include crowdfunding, private donations, and commercial activities. How much revenue groups are raising and what portion of those revenues—and from what sources—go toward violent activities remain poorly researched.

• Little evidence exists of extensive funding of REMVE causes through trafficking or criminal activity. The groups themselves are not sanctioned or labeled as terrorist organizations and thus are not inherently illegal.

This was a newspaper article from 1952 about how the new immigration law passed that year would require Jewish migrants to "state their race" (which means even by that point, Jews were not accepted fully as "white").

BTW, the 1965 reforms would finally end this nonsense, but this is not antediluvian history ...
