‘The “It’s okay to be white” trend has been springing up on campuses all over the nation in the last few years, and the mere fact that anyone thinks there’s anything wrong with them tells you everything you need to know about the troublesome perspective on white men in our country.
The statement which is amazingly construed as a “hate message” stands in contrast to statements like “Black lives matter,” equally benign and yet adored by the progressive left as valid and true.
“All lives matter” triggers the left quite a bit as well, and yet they’re the ones always calling everyone else racist.
It IS OK to be white, period. Unlike Black Lives Matter, “It’s okay to be white” is not connected to a violently racist terrorist group.
The following video is a parody on the Socialist Marxist proponents who are seeking to destroy everything that has allowed us in the West to be one of the most prosperous generations that have ever lived. However, we do admit there have been some mistakes along the way but it is a fact socialism has never worked. Cuba, the USSR and Venezuela are three examples. Watch, enjoy, laugh and share.

Leftists can shout the F word and destroy public property but a man in a wheelchair can not be allowed to pray outside an abortion clinic. The killer of babies is safe from arrest but a man praying for the unborn baby isn’t. Hmm, what next?
‘ARRESTED FOR PEACEFULLY PRAYING: Watch the unbelievable and deeply disturbing footage of wheelchair user Christian Hacking being arrested for peacefully praying outside an abortion clinic. He was carried by four police officers to a riot van and was imprisoned for eight hours after he was alleged to have failed to comply with a Public Spaces Protection Order. The good news is the charges have been dropped, but the case raises huge questions over whether praying in a public space now constitutes ‘harassment’ and whether buffer zones around abortion clinics breach freedom of expression, religion and thought. Christian said: “I do not regret what I did, and urge the Church to pray more, not less outside of clinics until the killing stops. Surely we, as a nation, can give women in a crisis something better than abortion. I care deeply about all the families who attend abortion clinics and will continue to do what it takes, no matter what, until this silent genocide of innocent children ends.” Find out more in today’s Daily Telegraph and our press release.’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEA7wdxLfI
Have we enjoyed the benefits of true freedom so long that we no longer appreciate them? This is hard to believe but ‘A majority of Americans believe the First Amendment should be rewritten and are willing to crack down on free speech, as well as the press, according to a new poll.
More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to “reflect the cultural norms of today.” The Campaign for Free Speech, which conducted the survey, said the results “indicate free speech is under more threat than previously believed.”
“The findings are frankly extraordinary,” executive director Bob Lystad told the Washington Free Beacon. “Our free speech rights and our free press rights have evolved well over 200 years, and people now seem to be rethinking them.”
Of the 1,004 respondents, young people were the most likely to support curbing free expression and punishing those who engage in “hate speech.” Nearly 60 percent of Millennials—respondents between the ages of 21 and 38—agreed that the Constitution “goes too far in allowing hate speech in modern America” and should be rewritten, compared to 48 percent of Gen Xers and 47 percent of Baby Boomers. A majority of Millennials also supported laws that would make “hate speech” a crime—of those supporters, 54 percent said violators should face jail time.
American hostility to the First Amendment did not stop at speech. Many would also like to see a crackdown on the free press. Nearly 60 percent of respondents agreed that the “government should be able to take action against newspapers and TV stations that publish content that is biased, inflammatory, or false.” Of those respondents, 46 percent supported possible jail time.
The poll was released just two days after two University of Connecticut students were arrested for allegedly saying racial slurs in a viral video. The 21-year-old suspects were allegedly playing “a game in which they yelled vulgar words,” according to the police report. Lystad said such incidents and the rise of social media may be behind the increased willingness of Americans to curb speech rights.
“I think [our findings] are fueled in large part because of a rise of hate speech, but traditionally, hate speech is protected in the First Amendment,” Lystad said. “The Supreme Court has upheld that principle time and time again.”
Lystad launched the Campaign for Free Speech to advocate for preserving free and open dialogue in America. The group emphasizes that hate speech should be denounced, but does not think censorship is the answer. The group plans to push back against efforts to restrict speech at the local, state, and federal levels.
“Hate speech should be condemned, but legally, the answer to speech we don’t like is more speech, not censorship,” he said. “Our primary focus is education, and to help people better understand the First Amendment, free speech, free press, and why it’s so vital to our democracy.”‘ https://freebeacon.com/issues/poll-majority-of-americans-want-first-amendment-rewritten/
They want you to just keep quiet if you do not agree with their Leftist, Marxist, anti-Christian, anti-capitalism, climate scam ideologies. A video is pasted at the bottom of the article. Note at about 5 minutes and 22 seconds the clown coming in to cause as much disruption as possible. These are the supposed leaders of tomorrow!?
‘Campus police force entire room to evacuate after protesters refuse to comply with officers’ requests
WASHINGTON, D.C. — An effort Thursday night by the Georgetown University College Republicans to host climate scholars to rebut 2020 Democratic presidential candidates’ climate alarmism descended into chaos after dozens of student protesters crashed the event and continually disrupted it to the point that campus police shut down the forum and evacuated the room.
Student hosts and the climate scientists and policy experts were eventually let back into the room to complete their discussion, but the first 20 minutes of the panel was so frequently interrupted it culminated in its temporary halt as campus officers worked to gain control of the situation.
At the start of “Climate Forum: A Rebuttal,” protestors packed the room and, beginning with the introduction of the first speaker, shouted talking points, various obscenities, and hostile chants.
Despite campus free speech policies announced clearly by the hosts at the start of the event, the harassment continued. Amid the frequent disruptions, a protester dressed as a clown intermittently honked a horn.
The College Republicans called campus police, who tried to remove those interrupting the event, but the students refused to comply. They argued with the officers, refused to show the officers their student IDs, and declared the room an “open forum.”
Eventually, police had to clear the room entirely in an attempt to gain control of the situation. The hallway flooded with protestors — as well as students who appeared genuinely interested in listening to the panelists. Numerous campus administrators and even more officers arrived as the event remained postponed.
The panel finally restarted after police had blocked all but one doorway and refused entrance to anyone with signs. But some hecklers made it through, including one protester who had to be escorted out, but not before ensuring all attendees they are “on the wrong side of history.”
Meanwhile, dozens more activists slammed on and yelled through the windows, screaming for “environmental justice.” The police officers guarded the building’s entrance, but allowed the outside shouts as the discussion inside proceeded.
The event finished an hour late, with many fewer people inside than at the start.
The panel was scheduled in response to the Georgetown Institute of Politics and MSNBC hosting of a “Presidential Climate Crisis Forum” this week. Candidates including Senator Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, businessman Andrew Yang, and Senator Cory Booker will make their climate policies clear in hour-long discussions moderated by Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi.
Earlier in the day, the Georgetown University College Democrats had issued a statement “condemning” the Georgetown University College Republicans’ event as “promoting the conspiracy of climate change denial.”
Rowan Saydlowski, vice president of Georgetown University College Republicans, stated in a news release that “our goal is to provide an alternative perspective in response to the echo chamber presented by the candidates coming to our school.”
The speakers included: Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com; Dr. Caleb Rossiter and Dr. Patrick Michaels of the CO2 Coalition; Paul Driessen of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow; and Kenny Stein of the Institute for Energy Research.’ https://www.thecollegefix.com/climatealarmismdebunked/
When the so-called same sex marriage issue was approved via a popular vote of the Australian people the individual’s freedom of speech then became an issue. Now, the Federal Government is seeking to pass a Religious Freedom Bill to rectify the matter. Here is the Australian Christian Lobby’s Martyn Iles speaking on the issue.
Is free speech along with so many other freedoms soon to be something of the past? Those in Hong Kong are fighting for something we in Australia and the USA have enjoyed for so long! That brings me to this. I was a subscriber to the following Word Press blog for sometime and then all at once it was down. Why? Who really knows, but it is back up and running but for how long? That’s another, Who knows.
‘Dear readers,
I’m so excited to report that RRW has been reconstructed after it was removed without notice by my previous host—WordPress.com—two months ago.
After working on informing and educating readers here in the US and around the world about issues related to refugee resettlement for nearly 12 years, you can imagine what a blow it was to find that the Speech Police had managed to apparently pressureWordPress.com into unceremoniously dumping my work and of course censoring me!
With the help of a compatriot, because I sure wasn’t capable of putting nearly 9,000 posts back into some usable format, welcome to the new RRW!
If you are a new reader, or even a long-time reader! and want to know more about how I came to be obsessed with seeing the US Refugee Admissions Program either abolished or reformed, see my ‘About’ at the top of the page.
The good news is that all the posts are here and the links back to previous posts have been reconfigured and should all be working. The categories work, as do the archives (see right hand sidebar).
More good news is that the Search function works great! Use the Search window in the upper right hand sidebar hereat my new site. Type in a few key words and see what I’ve posted on that subject over the years. (LOL! I suggest that you don’t use one key word such as ‘Somalis’ or be prepared for hours of reading.)
And, the best news is that I plan to post here from time to time because there is increasingly a lot of news on refugees that I have been posting at my other blog—Frauds, Crooks and Criminals(see all posts relating to refugees at ‘Frauds and Crooks’ by clickinghere.)
The bad news is that WordPress.com did not send me my subscribers or my photos/graphs/charts etc. So you will see a photo caption in many posts, but no photo.
More bad news is that at least so far there is no e-mail subscription capability here that I know of. So therefore, please book mark my new urlwhich ishttps://refugeeresettlementwatch.org/ and visit often!
And, one more thing, there is no opportunity to comment at the moment.
And, as for Twitter, (@RefugeeWatcher) I rarely post there or even visit because I got so disgusted with them messing with my account, but I continue to be grateful to all of you who post my material from time to time.
I was born and reared in the good ole USA (Iowa in fact) but have lived over half my life outside the USA. In spite of that tears still, come to my eyes when I hear that grand old song America. I trust you enjoy this as much as I did when I heard it sung by the Hillsdale College Choir.
