I don’t really want to pat myself on the back for predicting this last night minutes after I learned about the sad finale to the Jason Arday debacle. Anyone who has followed the unethical patterns of the political Left and who is capable of objective thought would have known this would happen.
I wrote,
“You know, don’t you, that the next step will be a tsunami of op-eds and essay criticizing and condemning the conservatives—racists, all of them— who “killed” Arday with their determination to drive a neurodivergent “of color” out of his remarkable position. So he puffed up his resume a little bit— Everybody does it. How else was someone like him to break through the societal barriers white society has erected to impede people like him? I will be shocked if Arday isn’t quickly canonized as a victim. It is the perfect way to deflect attention away from the real issues behind this tragedy.”
I just finished a cup of coffee and two yummy hot biscuits, and saw these:
Morons. Look at the “loves” for the first one, by Sadiq Khan, whoever the hell he is.
It’s early yet. Those op-eds are probably just being finished now. I certainly wasn’t the only one who knew this would be the reaction by many on the Left. Here’s a quote from another “X” post on the topic: “The story that will be spun about Jason Arday will be that his death lies at the feet of the people who called out his serial fabulations for being what they so transparently were…”
Ethics Alarms 
Ironically, this situation and these op-eds defeat the very battle of Martin Luther King. His behavior asssited with the lefts support has done away with the dream of MLK who preached a disregard of the color of mans skin and focus on his character.
DEI has reversed MLK, and we suffer for it!
Speaking of Martin Luther King…
The 21st Century’s Bastardization of “I Have A Dream”
I would not be surprised if the DEI crowd will cancel MLK the same way as they cancelled Cesar Chavez. The real reason Cesar Chavez was cancelled was that his views on illegal immigration became inconvenient to the left. MLK’s view that not the color of your skin but the content of your character is that matters is inconvenient to the DEI crowd for whom the color of your skin is of paramount importance.
Both Cesar Chavez and MLK have skeletons in the closet related to their personal conduct. As soon as a saint to the left becomes ideologically inconvenient the skeletons will be released from the closet.
As for Jason Arday, he is sainted because of the color of his skin. His lack of character does not matter to the left.
The thing is, by saying “the color of your skin is of paramount importance”, how they say it is different when the KKK or the neo-Nazi National Alliance does it?
The only difference is one of valuation. The KKK is bigoted against blacks, Jews and Catholics. The DEI crowd is bigoted against whites and males. Both are bigoted.
Sadiq Kahn is the fucking mayor of London and has been for the last ten years.
Or maybe I should have said, Londonstan.
Thank you for saying that. I was pretty sure, but had to check online to confirm.
Our leader Jack Marshall has a mind filled with, among others things, a lot of pop culture such as TV, movies, musicals, show tunes–but the name “Sadiq Khan” did not seem familiar to him offhand.
It’s just hard to keep up with these things, and it’s not fair to pick on Jack for not recognizing Khan’s name.
I don’t think I can name offhand any other mayor outside the USA–and most of the mayors in USA that I can name are no longer serving. No need to bore you with details.
It’s unfortunate that politicians feel it necessary to make pronouncements on late breaking current events. There’s little real public benefit, net, if they do it constantly.
The word “invidious” comes to mind. After you start commenting, people expect it. Then if you refrain from commenting, the public asks “What about Event X? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Regularly I think of the comment from the late Edward Banfield,
“Always have something to say”

Thanks for this discourse, CA. I knew London had a Muslim mayor, but never bothered to learn his name. If I stored it, I might lose important stuff, like the line-up of the 1961 Yankees:
Bobby Richradson, 2b
Tony Kubek, ss.
Roger Maris, rf
Mickey Mantle, cf
Bill Skowron, 1b
Elston Howard, c
Yogi Berra, lf
Cletus Boyer, 3b
Pitcher (Whitey Ford, Ralph Terry, Bill Stafford, or Roland Sheldon)
Scoundrels, scapegraces, jackals, scalawags and morons.
That’s me being nice.

Still works for me.
