An off-campus housing co-op for University of California, Berkeley students bans white people from entering common spaces to “avoid white violence” — sparking criticism that the policy inflames racial tensions.The five-story, 30-room “Person of Color Theme House” near the school requires students to declare their race when signing in and to announce when they’re bringing white guests in to the building, according to house rules leaked on Reddit.com.“Many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests,” the rules declare. “White guests are not allowed in common spaces.”
The co-op bans white people from common spaces.The building, which houses up to 56 students a few blocks from the university, also urges students to avoid bringing family members that “express bigotry,” according to the College Fix.“Queer, Black, and Indigenous members should not have to avoid common spaces because of homophobic or racist parents/family members,” the rules state.The building was set up by the Berkeley Student Cooperative to bring affordable “housing to low-income, first generation, immigrant and marginalized students of color” in the Bay Area.But some of the rules sparked outrage, with students saying they’re too aggressive and defy the spirit of inclusion.One mixed-race student, who claimed to have lived at the house, said that their “presence as a light skinned person was not received well” and that they were called slurs.
Former residents claimed that they felt marginalized in the house.‘[I] was not allowed to let my dad enter the house because he’s white,” the student wrote on Reddit.Another former member wrote a Medium article saying the house had earned a reputation for its aggressive “call-out culture” and “lack of intersectionality.”Adam Ratliff, Assistant Director of Media Relations and Critical Communications, told The Post the “co-op housing is not run by the university” and that it’s not the school’s role to comment.“To be clear, it is not campus operated. This property is operated by a private landlord, and it is not the role of the campus to comment on what private landlords are ‘allowed’ to do,” he said.
Reportedly, residents had to tell their housemates when they’d be bringing a white person over.He said the university’s housing programs “have no such policies like the one alleged in the Reddit image” and “do not discriminate on the basis of race, consistent with UC and campus policy.”
“To be clear, it is not campus operated. This property is operated by a private landlord, and it is not the role of the campus to comment on what private landlords are ‘allowed’ to do,” he said.
If you look in your own pantry or up and down the aisles of your neighborhood supermarket, you will notice that nearly every household-word name-brand food, beverage or soap has a little (K) or a little (U) inside of a circle discretely displayed on the label. These symbols indicate a product is “certified kosher” and are issued by rabbinical societies for a fee.The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations (UOJC) with headquarters at 333 Seventh Avenue in New York City, has reportedly sewn up 85 percent of the kosher certification market in America. Jewish people are instructed to consume only those products that are certified kosher.
This is how a religious sect is able to run what may well be the most successful private extortion racket in America. Major corporations are compelled to pay the yearly kosher certification fee or lose their access to Jewish consumers. To maintain their certification status, the corporation must hire, at their own expense, independent production supervisors to inspect production processes to insure kosher standards are maintained. Some companies, such as cheese manufacturers, must have full-time rabbis on staff to perform specific functions during the production process.The UOJC employs some 1,200 kosher cops in America. Ernesto Cienfueges of the Hispanic newspaper La Voz de Aztlan recently reported that, when asked what they pay in “kosher tax,” major corporations such as Proctor & Gamble and Clorox were not willing to say.However, in 1975 the New York Times reported that the cost to General Foods’ “Bird’s Eye” Corn, for example, is 6.5 millionths (.0000065) of a cent per unit. In 2002 the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), in an effort to justify the kosher certification industry reported how “a representative of the Heinz Company said that the per item cost is ‘so small we can’t even calculate it,’ and that such labeling actually makes products less costly by increasing the market for them.”The amount may seem small, but so do most taxes. The devil is in the mathematical details. Depending upon whether a “unit” is a package or the number of things, such individual kernels of peas or corn in a package, the revenue generated from kosher certification, if every American purchased an average of 35 kosher products per week, would be somewhere between $117,554,118 and $58 billion over the last 35 years. If the UOJC would just tell us the numbers, such conjecture would not be necessary.The ADL report went on to label anyone who believes kosher certification to be anything other than a process intended to protect the purity of food as “anti-Semitic.”
These days, testosterone therapy is all the rage. As its popularity increases, might we subsequently see a right-wing swell? As suggested by science, it could occur.As reported by the National Pulse, a hormonal investigation has unearthed an interesting find: If you raise a man’s testosterone levels, he becomes more politically conservative.The study – Testosterone Administration Induces A Red Shift in Democrats – was published on November 14th, 2021 by Professor Paul Zak, the Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University.“His research has made a substantial impact in explaining the variation in human social behaviors and has been cited by other scholars over 18,000 times placing in the top 0.3% of all scholars,” explains his professional biography.Through the 2012 election season, 136 voting-age males were studied. And sure enough, there was a link between man juice and polling-booth persuasion.As pointed out by the paper, it works on weaklings:Our results demonstrate that testosterone induces a “red shift” among weakly-affiliated Democrats.For the experiment, some participants were given a placebo while others received the real thing. Over time, their politics were tracked.When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party fell by 12 percent and they reported 45 percent warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president.On top of that, the most ardent Democrats were shown to be the least Arnold Schwarzenegger-ish:Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19 percent higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party,” the study continues, reiterating the correlation between individuals with lower testoreone having left-wing political beliefs.Bottom line, as stated by the study:Our findings provide evidence that neuroactive hormones affect political preferences.The National Pulse notes a related story — earlier this year, a Forbes article offered the idea of a “morality pill” to make people more compliant amid the pandemic.The article, which was originally published on August 30th, 2020 and originally titled Could A ‘Morality Pill’ Help Stop The Covid-19 Pandemic?, outlines how certain chemicals can “potentially “boost” our “cooperative, pro-social behavior” in the context of COVID-19 restrictions like lockdowns and mask mandates.“As the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to kill thousands of Americans each week, bioethicist Parker Crutchfield has suggested a controversial approach to battling the pandemic — namely a “morality pill.” Specifically, he suggests that widespread administration of psychoactive drugs could provide “moral enhancement” that would make people more likely to adhere to social norms such as wearing masks and adhering to social distancing guidelines,” explains the article.Back to testosterone, the study isn’t difficult to believe. After all, most cultural institutions are controlled by left-wingers. And in 2018, there was this:[Name this band.Society has definitely come down on male aggression; if chemicals were high school seniors, testosterone would have zero chance of becoming prom king. Yet, across tens of thousands of years, that little liquid built the world we know.As for the politics of it, could the study explain the Left’s war against toxic masculinity?Either way, we could likely use more machismo. Without it, there may be no more #MeToo — because they’ll be no more #Me:
