Another laudable cancellation:

Quote
A pastor known for his opposition to coronavirus measures has been stripped of his pastorate by the Evangelical Church of Germany (EKD) after running for office with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Quedlinburg.
...
The removal of Martin Michaels, a theologian, from his role as a pastor is the latest sign that the major Christian religious groups are gearing up to fight the AfD at nearly every level. The EKD’s administration warned that his candidacy is not compatible with the office of pastor.

Michaelis (the above article misspelled his surname) also looks like what we would expect:

Quote
A doctor in the German state of Baden-Württemberg refuses to treat one of his patients because he is a local politician in the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The doctor’s decision was reportedly sparked when he saw a photo in the local newspaper of the politician, Heiko Nüßner, at an event for his party’s city association in Lahr. Based on this photo, the doctor told him to find a new practice due to their “clearly different political views.”

Nüßner (seated) also looks like what we would expect (as do his cohorts, for that matter):



Quote
In 2021, AfD candidate Andrea Zürcher also had her general practicioner cancel her care, also in the state of Baden-Württemberg. In Zürcher’s case, the doctor also learned about her political activity from a photo in a local newspaper.

Zürcher also looks like what we would expect:



The above should be practiced in conjunction with:

Woolworths will no longer sell Australia Day merchandise.

The supermarket giant, which also owns Big W stores, confirmed in a statement that any items related to January 26 celebrations will not be stocked on shelves.

'There has been a gradual decline in demand for Australia Day merchandise from our stores over recent years. At the same time there's been broader discussion about 26 January and what it means to different parts of the community.'

Thank you!

The upcoming animated series Boxtown has confirmed it dumped star voice actor Tara Strong over her recent posts and comments on Israel and Palestine.

Boxtown and Bandit Mill Animation said in a statement Tuesday night that Strong, whose voice became famous on Teen Titans, Rugrats, The Powerpuff Girls, and Ben 10, was removed due to a “trend among Tara’s recent online activity, including posts that promote controversial messages regarding the peoples of Palestine currently being affected by the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis.”

Last week, Boxtown had posted that it was recasting the role of Bill the Orphan, the character Strong voices, but offered no details. Strong posted afterward, saying she found out the news online. “Fired for being Jewish,” she wrote.
...
Strong reportedly liked a tweet that equated all Muslims to Hamas and ISIS, while in another post, she reportedly wrote, “they were smart to start with a country people love to hate.

Thank you, Bandit Mill Animation!

https://www.yahoo.com/news/grievous-southern-baptist-convention-expels-204355749.html

Quote
The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, has kicked a rural Oklahoma church out of its membership after photos and videos of their pastor impersonating singer Ray Charles in blackface emerged on social media.

A spokesperson for the organization said the executive committee ruled that the Matoaka Baptist Church in Ochelata, Oklahoma, was “not in friendly cooperation” with the convention. The decision came after the church, led by the Rev. Sherman Jaquess, failed to “cooperate in resolving concerns regarding discriminatory behavior on the basis of ethnicity,” according to CNN.

Jaquess, a white man, was seen in a video dressed in a Jheri curl wig, black body paint (face, neck, hands), and red lips during a Valentine’s Day talent show in 2017.
...
“We have people [who] are offended by a lot of things, but it’s hard to play Ray Charles if you don’t play a Black man; it wasn’t anything,” he said.

The clergyman was shocked at people being offended despite him looking nothing like the brown-skinned Charles, who wore his hair for most of his career in a military-styled crew cut.

During a sermon, he said, “I just want to publicly say I don’t have a racial bone in my body. I’m not racist at all.”
...
The pastor has a history of dressing up as different races. Once, during a cowboys-and-Indians-themed event at the Falls Creek church camp, he appeared as an indigenous woman in brownface.

Lewis took to social media to congratulate the convention.

“Way to go @SouthernBapCon for kicking this racist out. Thank you supporters for keeping the pressure on,” he tweeted.

Jaquess also looks like what we would expect:



And, as the article points out, his blackface costume looks nothing like the actual Charles:

god commanded “let there be racism” and there was. Side note, jesus wept.

If only the commenter could have written "Yahweh" instead of "god", this would have been a Gnostic comment.

Of course he did not think it was a big deal, of course. This kind of disrespect and hatred towards black people has not stopped and is not going to stop. White people do whatever they want to black people, sometimes they have consequences and sometimes they don't. It's always the response. I did not think what I did was offensive, I did not have any bad intentions. Pure nonsense.

Quote
White people see nothing racist in demeaning people as a way to honor them. He demeans Ray Charles to honor him.  These are the same people who support the idea among conservatives that slavery was good and beneficial to Black people.

Quote
Let's be honest here, including you white people. We have NEVER seen any black person in this country who looks like this. Why do yall keep this characature alive, it literally doesn't make any sense. It's ignorant, false, and racist.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/16/arts/music/jann-wenner-removed-rock-hall.html

Quote
Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine, has been removed from the board of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, which he also helped found, one day after an interview with him was published in The New York Times in which he made comments that were widely criticized as sexist and racist.
...
the dismissal of Mr. Wenner comes after an interview with The Times, published Friday and timed to the publication of his new book, called “The Masters,” which collects his decades of interviews with rock legends like Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Bono—all of them white and male.
...
    In the interview, David Marchese of The Times asked Mr. Wenner, 77, why the book included no women or people of color.

    Regarding women, Mr. Wenner said, “Just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level,” and remarked that Joni Mitchell “was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll.”

    His answer about artists of color was less direct. “Of Black artists—you know, Stevie Wonder, genius, right?” he said. “I suppose when you use a word as broad as ‘masters,’ the fault is using that word. Maybe Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I mean, they just didn’t articulate at that level.”

Thank you, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

BOYCOTT DENNY'S!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PI5J2Vuaog

This is not an isolated incident:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denny%27s#Discrimination

Quote
Denny's has been involved in discrimination lawsuits involving food servers denying or providing inferior service to racial minorities, especially black customers.[33]

A 1993 incident occurred when six black United States Secret Service agents visited Denny's restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland. They were forced to wait an hour for service while their white companions were seated immediately.[34][35]

In San Jose, California, in 1991, several black teenagers were refused service unless they agreed to pay in advance.[36][37]

In 1994, Denny's settled a class action lawsuit filed by black customers who had been refused service, forced to wait longer, or pay more than white customers. The $54.4 million settlement was the largest under federal public accommodations laws established thirty years earlier.[38]

In 1995, a black Denny's customer in Sacramento, California, was told that he and his friends had to pay upfront at the counter upon ordering their meals. He questioned the waitress: "We asked the waitress about it and she said that some black guys who had been in the restaurant earlier had made a scene and walked out without paying their bill. So the manager now wanted all blacks to pay up front."[39]

In 1997, six Asian-American students from Syracuse University visited a local Denny's restaurant late at night. They waited more than half an hour as white patrons were regularly served, seated, and offered more helpings. They complained to management and their server but were forced to leave the establishment by two security guards called by Denny's management. Then, according to the students, a group of white men came out of Denny's, attacked them[40] and shouted racial epithets. Several of the students were beaten unconscious.[41][42]
...
In 2014, a Denny's location in Deming, New Mexico was subjected to a discrimination claim by an LGBT group, alleging that wait staff used homophobic slurs and refused to serve a group of gay, lesbian, and transgender customers who were attending a gay pride celebration. One year later, Denny's agreed to donate $13,000 to Deming Pride, pay $3,250 to a female customer who was subjected to abusive behavior by wait staff, and retrain its employees about discrimination policies.[47]

In 2017, the staff at a Denny's in Vancouver was accused of making an Indigenous woman pay for her meal before it was served.[48] After the customer left, restaurant staff called police to report the incident, alleging that the patron had a sharp metal object in their pocket.[49]

Quote
Valentine, 30, said the slur in a streaming video — available on the Paramount+ site — for the CBS series.

“Luke violated the BIG BROTHER code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur,” the network and series producers said in a statement to The Post. “He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.”
...
“Luke slipped up! That is apart of his daily vocabulary and vernacular!! Big Brother needs to remove someone that is so casually using slurs. He said my bad because he slipped and he know it’s wrong but he chooses to use it depending on who he around,” one viewer said.

Valentine also looks like what we would expect:

Hospital cancelled my surgery after I complained about transgender nurse
...
Teresa Steele was informed over email that her operation at the Princess Grace, a private hospital in central London, which specialises in women’s health, had been scrapped as a result of her request that only biological women be involved in her intimate care and later developed an abscess.
...
Emails between staff, seen by The Telegraph, said that they “perceive the patient’s request and rationale as a discrimination on gender and sex against… hospital employees”.

At 7.36pm the following evening, which was a Friday, Maxine Estop Green, the hospital’s CEO,  emailed her notifying her that “we do not share your beliefs and are not able to adhere to your requests” and therefore the operation was being cancelled.

 ;D

Quote
“I was very traumatised and on the point of collapse following the cancellation,” she said. “There was a sudden and observable deterioration in my health. An abscess that had not been visible on scans only a short time earlier had suddenly appeared. They endangered my life by cancelling that operation. I could have died of sepsis.”
...
Ms Steele said: “That second surgery has taken me months to recover from. I now have unnecessary deep scarring and my mobility was impacted for months; as a result, I developed a back problem as a knock-on effect of a protracted convalescence. The second surgery has really affected my long-term health.”

Behold TERF fragility.

Woke comments:

Quote
If it was critical to her being alive and she chose to request a different nurse, any delay from that is on her.

Quote
And if that nurse cannot be replaced for your procedure team until a later date, then the patient can go to another physician or wait.

Quote
That’s like a racist saying “don’t give me that persons blood they aren’t…” yeah… don’t complain about pain if you are the one making things harder.

Quote
What the problem with hospitals personnel delaying her surgery? She had a choice and chose not to use it. Let her find another facility to use.

Quote
If you don't want the care that's available, then I guess you don't want the care.

Quote
SHE made her choice......Don't blame others.

Quote
Good. I hope those months she was in pain were excruciating.

So what. Let bigots die.

Thank you, Museum of Pop Culture!

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/museum-airbrushes-jk-rowling-exhibition-152736750.html

Quote
A museum has airbrushed JK Rowling out of its hall of fame and Harry Potter exhibits because of her gender-critical beliefs.

The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle, Washington, accused the author of holding “super hateful and divisive” opinions in a lengthy blog post explaining its decision.
...
Explaining the removal of Rowling from MoPOP’s hall of fame, Moore wrote: “For the time being, the curators decided to remove any of her artefacts from this gallery to reduce her impact. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s what we were able to do in the short-term while determining long-term practices.”



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_J._K._Rowling

Quote
British author J. K. Rowling, writer of Harry Potter and other Wizarding World works, has garnered attention for her support of the Labour Party under Gordon Brown and her criticism of the party under Jeremy Corbyn
...
On 22 October 2015, a letter was published in The Guardian signed by Rowling (along with over 150 other figures from arts and politics) opposing the cultural boycott of Israel
...
She condemned societal beauty standards in "this skinny-obsessed world" and magazine covers that feature people who are "either seriously ill or suffering from an eating disorder".[136]

https://theprint.in/opinion/pov/jk-rowling-has-always-been-tone-deaf-just-look-at-the-harry-potter-universe/439064/

Quote
The wizarding world first created by Rowling is of, for and by White people. I don’t think there’s much to argue there.

The few non-White characters she does introduce in the books are underdeveloped lazy additions that highlight her prejudice.

Take for instance the Patil sisters. Remember their agonising outfits at the Yule Ball in the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire — dull, unflattering lehengas, which seemed like a mockery of Indian culture. A lot of us are still and will always be unforgiving of that travesty.

Then comes Cho Chang. In a world full of fantastical names like Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Dolores Umbridge, Nymphadora Tonks, Luna Lovegood and so on, Rowling settled on mixing two Korean surnames to portray the only visible Asian character. Rowling may as well have introduced another Karen or Susan type character instead of creating a token Asian character she clearly put no thought into.
...
She was slammed for the way she wrote about ‘Native American wizards’, and was attacked for “using an ancient culture as a convenient prop”.
