How TYT has SHIFTED FOCUS and is Creating CONTENT useful for The Right (Feat. @olurinatti!)
Trans TYT Employee Quits, Condemns Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian’s Anti-Trans Rhetoric
I have become more worried about the TYT network. Anna was given more authority over the show and the hosts, and she has since them abused that authority. She talks over every other host, belittles them, and acts toward Cenk like she is a host on Fox who is the one talking to a token not hard right person. Anna acts like the over top authority that shall not be questioned, and by her own admission has moved very right wing in her thinking. She demands the limelight on every show. She interrupts him constantly yet refuses to let him interrupt her, she rails against his opinions unless it is him attacking democrats.
Cenk got really bitter and admitted he burned his bridges in the Democratic Party after he ran for congress and lost badly. He was someone who never held any public office yet felt entitled to the office due to his show to gain entry to the federal House of Representatives. So now he attacks Joe Biden / the Democratic Party at every turn no matter how trivial the reason just because he is constantly pushing for someone to primary Biden, which is not going to happen. All Cenk is doing with these constant angry attacks is to provide the republicans with stuff they can use to attack Biden in the General election. The show has changed a lot over the last year and I have canceled my membership.
TYT was once was a news program that cut through the bias driven media of opinion corporate networks. Now the shows they host have become inflammatory opinion driven episodes that could be shown on Fox News or delivered by their hosts. Sad but Anna had a change in thinking just 6 months ago because of a traumatic incident, and Cenk got bitter that he couldn’t just move into congress. Between them they changed their show from news to opinions. They have gone from saying remove emotion to see the misinformation to screaming emotionally about the misinformation they spew. This is one of a dozen videos from former workers and guest hosts who have recently been turned on by Cenk and Anna. Hugs
Oklahoma Schools Superintendent: Don’t Teach That The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Was Caused By Racism
A Christian nationalist white supremacist doesn’t want a Klan slaughter of black people, taught as if skin color has anything to do with what happened. WTF! This is the outcome of decades of these people worming their way into positions of authority in states, and now they are making their move. They believe leaders like DeathSantis gives them cover and acceptance. Hugs.
The New Republic reports:
Oklahoma’s far-right superintendent of public instruction thinks that schools should teach students about the Tulsa race massacre, so long as teachers don’t actually acknowledge that the white supremacist attack was about race.
Walters held a public forum Thursday night, during which someone asked him how teaching about the Tulsa race massacre doesn’t violate his ban on CRT. “I would never tell a kid that because of your race, because of the color of your skin, or your gender or anything like that, you are less of a person or are inherently racist,” Walters said.
“That doesn’t mean you don’t judge the actions of individuals. Oh, you can. Absolutely, historically, you should. ‘This was right. This was wrong. They did this for this reason.’ But to say it was inherent in that because of their skin is where I say that is critical race theory. You’re saying that race defines a person.”
The Black Wall Street Times reports:
The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre occurred when white Klan members and vigilantes stormed the Black community of Greenwood. Over the course of two days, the mob shot, looted and burned nearly 40 blocks of homes and businesses. In all, more than 300 were killed, 10,000 were left without shelter and millions in generational wealth was destroyed.
During the attack, witnesses recalled seeing planes flying over Greenwood, dropping explosive turpentine bombs to ignite more buildings. The Massacre marks the first time in American history that bombs were dropped on US soil. Every credible historical account of the Tulsa Race Massacre acknowledges white hatred toward the Black community as the cause.
Last month Walters appeared here when he announced that Oklahoma’s public schools will soon have a mandatory daily prayer, the mandatory posting of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, and a mandatory high school course in “Western civilization.”
Walters, who was appointed state secretary of education by Christianist Gov. Kevin Stitt in 2020, faced calls to resign in 2022 after it was revealed that a Koch-funded group that advocates for privatizing public schools was paying him $120,000/year.
Stitt rejected calls for Walters’ resignation and attempted to reappoint him again earlier this year, but the state Senate refused to allow him to hold the elected superintendent and appointed secretary of education posts at the same time.
How novel! A bunch of racist white dudes defining what racism is. How far back are we going to regress? Not decades, but centuries.
Everyone knows the Tulsa massacre was caused by economic anxiety.
Or peaceful tourists?
“Legitimate Political Discouse!” {turpentine bomb, Ka-BOOM!}
Fascists are openly demanding America to bury its criminal past.
Each day, the Orwellian Memory Holes feature more prominently as GOP public policy.
As expected. One aspect of fascism is to bury any and all history that runs counter to the nationalistic propaganda. “Whites have always been kind and supportive to blacks, and racism is a fabrication used to justify black hatred of whites. Everything that shows this for a lie is itself a lie that must be buried under bullshit until it is forgotten.”
Morons can’t tell the difference between racism and race, but they get to head the state education department.
Oh they can tell the difference. They just don’t want to acknowledge history when it makes them feel bad
And if possible, relive and improve upon it.
““I would never tell a kid that because of your race, because of the color of your skin, or your gender or anything like that, you are less of a person or are inherently racist,” Walters
You constantly tell gay and transgender people that they are less of a person.
And that has nothing to do with being inherently racist.
I’ve heard the term ‘intrinsically disordered’ thrown about by a lot of men wearing too many sequins and far too much lace.
Racist people did racist things during racist times. Children, that is your fault because they look like you.
How do politicians make that jump? Could it be because they are racist?
Polished dumb-fuck doesn’t know the difference between racism and race. Leads me to believe he is racist.
This should be required reading in OK schools.
If you’re working that hard to deny historical racism, it’s because you’re a modern day racist asshole who thinks their ancestors were right to fuck everyone else.
Just like Holocaust deniers would like to bring back discrimination against Jews. Same racist crazy, different continent.
Not only do they need to learn about Tulsa. That was a massacre, btw, not a riot. There were a few dozen of those that happened around the country. It wasn’t just the one event. It was a pattern of events where any attempt by African Americans to create anything was destroyed. Here is a link to videos about other events. They should learn abut Tulsa, no there were others, and perhaps study one in detail that happened closer to them (where that is applicable).
Erasing this history is the American equivalent of Holocast denial in Europe. It happened, and we need to make damn sure it doesn’t happen again. The people wanting us not to learn want to repeat this to other groups.That’s why we all need to learn.
The Tulsa Race “Riot”, the Chicago 29th Street Beach Race “Riot”, the Rosewood Race “Riot”, and pretty much most of them up to 1968 were all white people rioting, burning, and murdering in Black communities.
This nonsense is everywhere. It is just now out in the open in deep Red states.
And remember, the ones pushing it all claim to be Christians.
This reminds me of how I was never taught about the genocide of the Native Americans in High School. Just some vague stuff about Manifest Destiny.
When Native Americans were mentioned (albeit rarely) in my high school history classes, it was as a kind of abstract way, as in “The such-and-such tribes could be found in the Great Plains States, while the so-and-so tribes lived farther east/west/north/south.” “The Navajo tribes now live on reservations in the Southwestern US.”
In a similar vein, Manifest Destiny was good for America, opening up the western frontier, etc., don’t recall ANY mention of Native Americans.
No context whatsoever.
Why the land was empty just waiting to filled with white people. Of course not mentioned was the fact that the land was full of people before 1492 and the new fatal diseases would burn through them like an out of control wild fire.
Don’t be surprised if this guy succeeds Christian nationalist Kevin Stitt as governor in 2026 when Stitt is term-limited out of office.
I guarantee it. Walters constantly says inflammatory things just to keep his name in the news. Supposedly pornoghaphic books in school libraries. Claims liberals are brainwashing kids to be Trans. Even pulled the furry/litter box in school restrooms nonsense when he was campaigning.
If he runs he’ll win.
