(Joerg Carstensen/dpa via AP) We’re living in turbulent times. Crime is terrorizing the citizenry; riots and looting have sacked cities; businesses have been forced under by government mandates; in many areas of the country, residents are masking like surgeons despite having taken a vaccine and multiple boosters so they wouldn’t have to. There’s a lot to figure out.
And at Washington University’s Brown School, they’re attempting to major in the majors.
Amid all our issues, the St. Louis college recently hosted a discussion to tackle the mystery on everyone’s minds.
It’s a burning question: Is professionalism a racist construct?
In honor of Black History Month , that very query served as title for the virtual event. Per the February 1st video’s YouTube description, marginalization has been afoot: The term “professionalism” has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color, when attributes of appearance, language, or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge or constructive collegial relationships are labeled as “unprofessional.” As noted by Campus Reform , the deep dive eyed traits of white supremacy culture: Perfectionism
A Sense of Urgency
Defensiveness
Worship of the Written Word Quantity Over Quality Assistant Dean for Field Education Jewel Stafford waxed on inadequacy: “Even though we’re working really hard, there’s a narrative that we’re not enough, that somehow who we are, what we do, it’s just not enough.” It’s a nasty narrative. Do the pushers of such a postulation also dabble in other areas of discrimination?The education professionals got philosophical.From CR : [Assistant Dean of the Office of Community Partnerships Cynthia Williams] said that depending on the marginalized group being recognized at the time, they might have changed the question. For example, she noted that if the talk was given on Disability Awareness Day, the talk may have been called “Is it […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
