Central Park Karen has been fired from Franklin Templeton.

Supposedly people found evidence that she was also neglecting/harming her dog so she gave it up to a rescue as well.

She was choking the dog in the video. She picked it up by the collar and was dragging it around while the dog struggled to get away.

MN had another protest yesterday, white people demanding the end of accepting refugees.

Spoiler: show

Much of the uproar about refugee resettlement is the result of an executive order issued by President Trump last year, which required state and local governments to explicitly approve refugee resettlement.

At least 20 Minnesota counties voted on the issue late last year and in early January. All voted to continue to accept refugees, except Beltrami County, which became one of the first counties in the country to vote to refuse to allow for refugee resettlement.

St. Louis County had planned to vote on the issue in January, but the board's more rural members voted 4-3 to delay that vote until Tuesday’s meeting, which was originally supposed to be held in the small Iron Range town of Buhl.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, public in-person participation was not allowed, and the meeting was moved to the city of Virginia’s government center to accommodate the meeting’s technology needs. The move rankled many opponents of the consent measure.

Three of the commissioners attended the meeting in person. Four attended via video. Many opponents of refugee resettlement demonstrated outside the meeting.

Why do those signs look photoshopped?

[6souls]

Probably because they're professionally made whereas most others just make theirs like a craft project.

The one in the upper right does... look off.

Minneapolis venture capitalist Tom Austin was caught racially profiling 3 men at a private gym that is open to all tenants of the building. He demanded their I.D.'s then called the police.

The allegations against Austin, 53, were made by the entrepreneurs behind the marketing start-up Top Figure. In the video, Austin identifies himself by name. According to Top Figure’s Instagram account, the incident occurred inside of the private gym in the Mozaic East office building along Lagoon Avenue in the city at 7:51 p.m. on May 26.

Austin has responded to the controversy in an auto-response email. In that email, Austin admits that he “should have handled it differently.” Austin goes on to accuse one of the men who had a keycard of allowing his friends who did not have keycards to use the gym. Austin said that he would have confronted the men regardless of race. Austin adds that he has apologized to the men for making them feel like it was about race.

Tom's response;

Yes, I fucked up. Should have handled it differently. Building management had been complaining that tenants were allowing their friends to trespassing and use a private gym that was authorized only for building tenants. I noticed that one of the tenants seemed to have brought 4 friends and I complained to them that this isn’t right and it’s unfair to the tenants who pay. One guy was letting his other 4 friends in and out of the building with his FOB. Nobody else had a FOB.

When I said something, they got in my face in a very threatening manner accusing me of racial profiling. I said it wasn’t racial profiling and was all about suspicious activity/behavior. Because they were in my face, I took photos and threatened back to call the building security. I actually only called the building property manager! I would have done this regardless of race. In fact, I told them I’d have done the same thing if they were white, or even a bunch of girls who were trespassing. What surprises me is that we worked out in gym together for another 45 minutes after I had already apologized to them for making them feel it was a race issue, when in fact it was not.

Also, he is a Trump supporter and donor.

Who is so spastic that they donate non even sums every other day?

The story behind this is that the woman tried to stop people from looting Target. After people detached her from a cart of product, she pulled a knife and began charging people. Someone emptied a fire extinguisher in her face in response.

If he's getting a lot of campaign emails they might be asking for uneven amounts based on hitting certain number goals divided by all their usual donors, and he just clicks the donate button each time.

Mike Henry will stop providing the voice of Cleveland Brown on Family Guy. The Simpsons have also said that no white actor/actress will voice characters of color:

Wouldn't that fall under racial discrimination? Shouldn't matter how you look RL for a voiced position.

Next up we'll have to ban Monty Python re-runs because we have guys playing female roles.

[Zealot]

Mm, seems like they're trying to make space for people of color going forward and not taking away anything we already had.

There's a big difference between changing things going forward and getting rid of things in the past. Absolute most that could happen is a warning sign before a show/movie lol, and even that seems unlikely in this case, and it isn't happen due to offensiveness, but rather to create opportunity for disfranchised people.

Does this mean Zoe Saldana finally gets to play a Dominican/Puerto Rican woman, and not as a black/green/blue chick?

[Lokus]

Personally, I think it's a bit of a reach since someone's voice and the range they can take it should be what gets them the job. Reading some experiences from some VAs, it seems the real issue is that black people tend to get typecast to only voice black/poc characters so they are already limited in the roles they can play in an industry where your skin color should mean fuck all. I can see why Mike did it since it opens up a role that's already limited though I'm sure that's not the main reason he did it.

She's in 3 movies that made over 7 billion dollars between them. We should paint her another color and see how high that box office can go lol

[kuronosan]

Time to fire Nancy Cartwright and Yeardley Smith. Can't have adults playing children, it takes away from child actors.

Is this an instance where white people think they're helping but then end up making it worse for everyone?
