Charity boss fired after criticising Black Lives Matter
An award-winning charity boss who prevented thousands of young people joining gangs has been sacked after he criticised Black Lives Matter.
Nick Buckley, MBE, founded Mancunian Way after Manchester City Council made him redundant in 2011.
Buckley decided to continue the work he’d done for the council by helping young people escape gang culture. He ploughed his redundancy money into the charity and for the first two years worked for free.
But after a blog post he wrote on Medium, in which he described BLM as ‘post-modern, neo-Marxists” who were “call[ing] for the destruction of Western Democracy and our way of life,.’ he was sacked by his charity’s trustees.
In the article the 52-year-old started by saying: “Of course black lives matter. Let’s get this obvious point over and done with at the beginning”, but went on to criticise the political agenda of the organisation BLM which sought to repudiate the values expressed by Martin Luther King:
‘We have spent the last 70 years trying to move away from seeing the innate differences in people and trying to see only the character of the individual and judging them on their actions. It is the Martin Luther King way. It is the right way.’
Buckley said he felt compelled to speak out against BLM because of the damage it would do to his work. ‘How,’ he asked, ‘can we persuade vulnerable black youngsters to get a job rather than join a gang if they’re being taught that the whole society is out to get them? I believe I’ve helped more people from taking this course of action than if I’d taken the knee. Organisations like Black Lives Matter are damaging the next generation and people like me will be left to pick up the pieces.’
How dare he try and take the spoon of victimhood away?
Burn him.

“ Boeing’s Communications Chief Niel Golightly resigned ”... “ Golightly, who served as the troubled planemaker’s senior vice president ” “ The now former communications executive has since called his early writings “embarrassingly wrong and offensive” and said he no longer held those views while still resigning for the sake of the company.” Should they force him an gunpoint to stay? |

On a separate note.
This is really funny:
“ and the feminine images of what men fight for – peace, home, family”

Actually modern archeological evidence suggests the pyramids were built by artisans and not slaves, they unearthed some of the workers dwellings and there was evidence of slavery.

This sounds made up: “ Some then called for the destruction of the Egyptian pyramids in Giza, claiming that they were also built by slaves.” |

I should be explicit I can believe that the pyramids were constructed by the victims of human trafficking.
I don’t believe anybody is seriously calling for them to be pulled down as a result.
But conservatives are determined to live in a constant state of outrage so...

You asked for the evidence, I gave it to you, it's your choice if you believe those who've studied the period or not. Ignorance is so often a choice you make.

I don't know about the US but in the UK, the statue tear downers are mostly white, middle class virtue signalers.

"A communist America is the goal."
Please read this thread (unpacked from a Twitter thread) by Tom Nichols, a well-known conservative and a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College.
Yes, I read the Bret Stephens piece. Ho hum. Yes, the intolerant left is a threat. Stipulated.
However, I have excoriated people on the left for most of my career. But only opposing Trump produced harassment, demands to fire me, and death threats. Cancel culture, indeed. /1
I mean, I have blistered everyone from Obama to Hillary Clinton, and across the seas to Putin and Assad. For years, I was an outspoken conservative. But I never encountered McCarthyist thuggery like the kind I've gotten from the Cult of Trump. So spare me the hand-wringing. /2
I am not blind to the totalitarian streak on the left. I wrote about it - and at The Federalist, back in the day, no less. Amazingly, no one on the left tried to get me fired for it or told me I'd be hung as a traitor or left endless f-bombs on my voicemail at work. Imagine. /3
Look, the Democrats always have short-pants Stalinists in their midst. The GOP has always had theocratic wanna-be ayatollahs in *their* midst. The difference is that the GOP is now in power and owned, completely, by its fringe - one that is frantic with fear and anger. /4
The people who want to pull down statues without reading the nameplates (or without reading a book) are idiots. Many are the children of privilege. Some are even stupid enough to think they're leading a revolution. They're not. Calm down. /5
Leftist revolution here is about as likely as the Civil War 2.0 porn that Trump's kooks love so much (not least because those same young people would freak out if no-kidding socialism was ever implemented).
Meanwhile, right-wing attacks on the Constitution? Happening now. /6
"Oh noes, the college kids are gonna take over the country!" is one of those cyclical things that conservatives worry about - usually as an indication of how little faith conservatives have in their own ideas and how much they fear their own personal weaknesses./7
But what about the culture war, right? Here's an open secret: most GOPers never really cared that much about the culture war. They say they do, and they wave the flag and decry the behavior of poor people and brown people and people in cities, but that's mostly a show. /8
How can I say this? Because you don't see much of that culture war reflected in the personal behavior of most self-identified conservatives, who are as decadent as anyone else. These are not Amish stoics. They just don't like *other* people being decadent, too. /9
What are they, then? They're white people, who liked the world (or imagine they did) the way it looked when they were kids, and use the culture war as a proxy for resentment and nostalgia. The behavior of political evangelicals since 2016, especially, finally outed all that. /10
You want me to worry about college Marxists? Yeah, I'll get right on that as soon as we dislodge the febrile anti-constitutionalists of the GOP.
I have plenty of concerns about the left. But right now, I'd like to deal with the obvious and demonstrated threat from the right. /11
I've been hearing about leftists taking over the country since I was a kid. It was supposed to happen in the 60s, after the 80s, etc etc. And the culture war, such that is, was over decades ago.
But I never thought I'd have to fight over the Constitution - with the *right*. /12
So take all your fears of rampaging drag queens and how Joe Biden is controlled by the College Spartacists, and put 'em in a sock, pally. I'll be first in line to oppose extremist left-wing dumbassery - once we defeat far more dangerous people like Barr and McConnell. /12x
