"Stupid Indians" .... "Indians are of no use" "Indians don’t understand anything or how to do anything"

United Farm Workers | "Stupid Indians" .... "Indians are of no use"
"Indians don’t understand anything or how to do anything"

These are the kind of insults, from supervisors, made to indigenous workers at Giumarra Vineyards. And you can imagine the treatment that goes along with this attitude. Please read the below alert and then take action.

In January we reported that a young woman, 17 years old, was harassed sexually by a co-worker at Giumarra. She complained to the company about the unwanted sexual advances, and the company did something.

When she and fellow workers complained, they were fired.

These workers are all members of indigenous groups from Mexico. In a lawsuit filed by the former Giumarra employees who are Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, they claim they were the targets of abuse, insults, and discrimination by Giumarra supervisors just because they are indigenous.

260,000 Homeless Veterans—6,500 Are Women

The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | 260,000 Homeless Veterans—6,500 Are Women: "Source: Miami Herald | Women veterans are “up to four times more likely to lose their homes than civilian women.” Among the hundreds of thousands of veterans who end up homeless in this country are 6500 women. They struggle with the same constellation of issues as other vets: mental health issues, addiction and an inability to re-adapt to civilian life. Some are sexual abuse survivors and others have lost their children. The number of women veterans who are homeless have doubled over the past ten years and even so, they make up only a small fraction of the estimated 260,000 veterans overall who find themselves homeless over the course of a year. Programs established to provide housing and supports for homeless vets are often struggling for funding."

The Destruction of the African Male in America is Now Complete.

Proficiency of Black Students Is Found to Be Far Lower Than Expected - NYTimes.com

But a new report focusing on black males suggests that the picture is even bleaker than generally known.

Only 12 percent of black fourth-grade boys are proficient in reading, compared with 38 percent of white boys, and only 12 percent of black eighth-grade boys are proficient in math, compared with 44 percent of white boys.

Poverty alone does not seem to explain the differences: poor white boys do just as well as African-American boys who do not live in poverty, measured by whether they qualify for subsidized school lunches.

The data was distilled from highly respected national math and reading tests, known as the National Assessment for Educational Progress, which are given to students in fourth and eighth grades, most recently in 2009. The report, “A Call for Change,” is to be released Tuesday by the Council of the Great City Schools, an advocacy group for urban public schools.

Although the outlines of the problem and many specifics have been previously reported, the group hopes that including so much of what it calls “jaw-dropping data” in one place will spark a new sense of national urgency.

“What this clearly shows is that black males who are not eligible for free and reduced-price lunch are doing no better than white males who are poor,” said Michael Casserly, executive director of the council.

Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog: An Uncle Tim: "An Uncle Tim


Perhaps the best-written response to Tuesday's election -- frank, clear, logical, and pithy -- is by professional anti-racist Tim Wise"

Mr. Wise is just pathetic.

[Ireland] Anarchists Condemn Police Violence Against Students

[Ireland] Anarchists Condemn Police Violence Against Students - Anarkismo

student_bleeding.jpg“I witnessed masked men in padded clothing beat a woman around the head with a baton. She was so scared she couldn’t move even as they shouted at her to do so. My friends and I helped her away from where the police where hitting people. The police refused to listen to our calls for medical attention and instead pushed me on top of this woman using a large plastic shield. This was only one of many instances of brutality. I also saw police punch, kick, drag and throw to the ground the people who occupied the Department of Finance.[1]. It was clear to everyone that the police decided to intimidate and physically assault us. The low number of arrests compared to the very high level of injuries suggest that this was a tactic decided at a high level. It was as if the police wanted to provoke a violent response from us. All we could do was try to defend ourselves and each other from these thugs.” [2]

“While several WSM members where present in the demo, other members watched from the vantage point of our office window which directly overlooked the scene. We witnessed many injuries as a result of police violence, mostly unprovoked batoning, but also the use of the edges of riot shields to dig into people. We witnessed police horses being run directly into a mass crowd, we saw women and men sitting on the ground, beaten with lumps of stick the police call “batons”. We witnessed police dogs being reared into the crowd as people shouted “peaceful protest”. I heard the police swear and verbally threaten students, one saying they would “knock the fucking ***” out of me if I didn't move.”
