Some are fighting back.... "Central Florida professor fired for disputing systemic racism and White privilege fights back, files lawsuit" "Nagy – who is White — asked in a tweet that is no-longer available, “If Afr. Americans as a group, had the same behavioral profile as Asian Americans (on average, performing the best academically, having the highest income, committing the lowest crime, etc.), would we still be proclaiming ‘systematic racism’ exists The professor also tweeted, “Black privilege is real: Besides affirm. action, special scholarships and other set asides, being shielded from legitimate criticism is a privilege. But as a group, they’re missing out on much needed feedback.” www.wallstreetpr.com/central-florida-professor-fired-for-disputing-systemic-racism-and-white-privilege-fights-back-files-lawsuit-59636

"'White fragility' author warns people of color to 'get away from White people'" "Robin DiAngelo sounding like an old-line segregationist," anti-CRT expert Chris Rufo tweeted in response to the clip. Conservative podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey said DiAngelo's comments sounded like racial comments made by Dilbert creator, Scott Adams recently that caused several newspapers to pull his long-running cartoon. "When Robin DiAngelo says it, it’s inspirational and she gets paid $20k. When Scott Adams says it, it’s racist and he loses his job," she tweeted." A year before the election, a prominent local university with over 16K undergrads had several incidents of alleged racist graffiti found on campus. Speculations say this was 'planted' by people pushing their agenda for changes and they wrote a list of demands to the Chancellor and added if these were not done that he resign. One of those demands was that black students be able to request a black room mate if they had a white one. This was quickly toned down. 100 years ago the European whites segregated themselves to live in groups close to each other to share their ethnic backgrounds and beliefs. Did that workout well? My mom says it did. Even blacks in my area live next to each other and talk of how they help and watch out for each other with stories like my mom told of her young years. It's the political party pushing for the intermingling, but not near them. See where Obama and Pelosi live and whom lives next to them? www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/white-fragility-author-warns-people-of-color-to-get-away-from-white-people/ar-AA18RuO0?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=a895d5caa20b451e951bf5bc2c6d3148&ei=27

Oh boy, looks like Scott Adams is trying to back away from his statements after more newspapers around the country say they are dropping the “Dilbert” comic strip.
***He's supposedly a very intelligent guy, why risk it all by saying something like he did, and then afterward act as if you didn't know that this type of a 'cancel' reaction would be the result ?
Here he is with a kind of weird and rambling 'explanation'...

I wonder how many of these deranged white liberals actually live among blacks ? These people walk around with their eyes closed and their ears plugged....don't want the truth to get in the way of their stupidity Months of rioting, attacking, killing, burning and looting....and not a word said about it from them or the politicians Black hatred is destroying this country and given the opportunity, they will turn the entire country into a huge ghetto But....that will be cool with the white liberals as they feel that the blacks "deserve" whatever they can get, steal or destroy If you are White, Asian or Hispanic....buy a gun, because the blacks see you as the enemy Open your eyes America !

Shit like this is the reason why as I get older I never neglect specialized training with my power twisters and also concentrating on my grip strength. Because if I ever unfortunately find myself in the middle of that kind of sub-human insanity I'll be ripping the f'cking face off of any MF'er that dares to lay a hand on me or whoever I'm with....

Somebody in the Windy City needs to resurrect Mayor Richard Daley and the Chicago cops at the 1968 Democrat Convention.

I don’t have a power twister nor access to buy one (delivery charges here in Egypt are rape). I use an old Great Gama tree exercise to develop those 2 attributes u mention. EG: pulling a THICK towel anchored to a wall with different foot stances complemented by various pushing stances against the wall using the hips, shoulders & hands until I’m ~tired~. They’re my core body strength exercises. It’s amazing how easy it is to knock ppl off balance now. I did so once with a british guy who felt entitled to talk smack. So, I pushed him & he literally flew across the room. I was shocked too as I’m only 72kg soaking wet & wasn’t in any true fight mode. I was simply posturing to make a point. Yet, he easily outweighed me by less than 2 stone. I felt like Bam-Bam from The Flintstones afterwards.

Considering though that in that part of the world that there has been craftsman skilled enough to carve Martini Henry and SMLE rifle receivers out of blocks of steel with a hammer and cold chisel while holding the steel between their feet as they chiseled it out by hand, it seems like it would be small matter for some local handyman to permanently fix a piece of pipe on either side of whatever size spring that you wanted and put some motocross rubber grip handles on either end for grips. There's your power twister.

I don’t have a power twister nor access to buy one (delivery charges here in Egypt are rape). That's no problem, there are other excellent exercises for developing 'crushing strength'... Just get yourself a few bricks to start, and do brick 'bent over rows' and standing brick 'curls'. Please take my advice and progress SLOWLY so as not to injure yourself, because it's unlikely you've ever stressed your muscles and connective tissues in such a way. I promise that you won't believe the newfound 'crushing' strength results if you stick with it. Here's what I'm talking about: ironmind.com/articles/john-brookfields-grip-tips/Brick-Bent-Over-Rows/

I trust them far less than "Average Jim-Bo Citizen" on the street.

Craftmanship is simply a byword & rarity at best in Egypt. Standards even in a medical setting are found wanting (they wanted to cut my leg off!). I do like my simplicity & not be beholden to an apparatus. Which is why I like isometrics & calisthenics.
I found isos performed at the shoulder joint in a rotating 360 fashion has done well enough so I needn’t rely on a power twister. Simply changing your centerline anterior & dorsal adds more. The order is done in an alternating agonist/antagonist method: traps, lower chest, delts, lats, upper chest, upper back.
For gripping strength I hang by my tennis balls, a towel flung over a doortop or hold a chair for extensors.
Pushing or tugging against a wall for 5-10 minutes a pop thru out the day is exhausting enough.
