 As we say in Germany, if there's a Nazi at the
 table and 10 other people sitting there talking
 to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.

Reminder.
To all the absolute walnuts in the notes: No, sitting down to talk with a Nazi if you donā€™t know theyā€™re a Nazi doesnā€™t make you a Nazi. Neither is trying to talk one out of their mindset. Iā€™m not sure if youā€™re genuinely confused about this or just sea-lioning, but on the off-chance youā€™re sincere:
The quote is about people being complacent and accepting of Nazis in social settings, much in the same way that rapists feel validated by rape jokes. Itā€™s about denying Nazis social validation and acceptance, which is a good and necessary thing.
Itā€™s about putting up a stink at family gatherings by refusing to share a meal with uncle Harry after he makes a joke aboutĀ ā€œsome peopleā€ needing to be gassed. Itā€™s about standing up to members of your social group spouting antisemitic or racist shit. Itā€™s about challenging them. And yes, trying to talk them out of it is a valid way to do that. But if you canā€™t, cut ties.
It means that if you are complacent, you are part of the problem.


So weā€™re supposed to give them a victim mentality that will sooner or later evolve into a revenge fantasy and culminate in actual revenge and criminal behavior? 
You really donā€™t understand that all this ā€œpunch Nazisā€ jargon does is making evil grow in hiding, until itā€™s strong enough to fight back?
And itā€™s not even a saying here. The good Doctor just made up some ideological bullshit.
Donā€™t try to add nuance to a blanket statement after the fact. 

Hello. Hi. East German here. We actually do say that.
Andā€¦you are aware that they already are violent? That they kill people as is? Remember the Zwickauer Terrortrio? Punching them doesnā€™t make them worse than they already are - Nazis are always violent because their very ideology already is violence.
But you know what punching them achieves? It makes them afraid. It makes it so that they donā€™t dare to try to climb on the herring barrel and shout shit at crowds. It makes it harder for them to recruit followers openly. Punching Nazis and openly ridiculing and shaming them makes sure their bullshit doesnā€™t get normalised, aka suitable for polite conversation which, as I said, the quote is about.
Make Nazis afraid again.

Kayla Renee ParkerĀ shared her story of how she managed to expose her racist teacher who appeared to be a wolf in sheepā€™s clothing.


ā€œShe wears a safety pin so everyone knows sheā€™s an ally for minorities. Her cover photo has a Black power fist. She regularly discusses her love for the Obamas, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and her admonishment for this current administration.ā€


However, it wasnā€™t enough to hide her racism.Ā 
It all started with a simple question from a test. The question stated,Ā 
ā€œHistorical research on African-American families during slavery shows that: A) Family ties werenā€™t important in African cultures where the slaves ancestors originated; consequently, family bonds were never strong among slaves. B) Two-parent families were extremely rare during the slave period. C) Black family bonds were destroyed by the abuses of slave owners, who regularly sold off family members to other slave owners. D) Most slave families were headed by two parents.


So, obviously, Kayla chose C. And it was incorrect. According to the teacher, the right answer was D.
The argument started when Kayla wrote her an email and respectfully provided the professor the evidence, even directly from their textbook. ā€œHowever, my Professor continued to argueĀ that family bonds were not destroyed and that 2/3 of slave families were headed by two parents.ā€ The teacher cited Herbert Gutman, sociologist, who died in 1985 and surely took part in the whitewashing of Black history.
When they met to discuss the subject in person the professor gave Kayla books to read adding such statements as, ā€œThis book would be good for you to read. I believe itā€™s $6 so I could buy it for you if youā€™d like.ā€ The stated that she spent her whole life fighting for minorities and something likeĀ ā€œIā€™ve got Black friends.ā€Ā 
When the girl was proving her opinion, she heard more comments as, ā€œYouā€™re talking to someone who has spent their entire life fighting for people of diversity and marched with my Black brothers and sisters.ā€


As the result, the teacher asked Kayla to lecture the class on the topic and that was her fatal mistake.
Kayla took all her courage and made a presentation on the topic she was passionate about. She defended Black people and Black history. Hereā€™s her presentation.
That was the point where the story should end, but NO.
The professor obviously forgot about privacy settings on Facebook and posted offensive comments about Kayla.
The professorā€™s last words to Kayla were:
This time The University of Tennessee stood up for the student. In July the teacher officially retiring from the university.
This is fucking insane.
The last paragraph of kayaā€™s story is everything:


To my Professor, I forgive you for robbing me of my focus last semester. I forgive you for calling my Father, a graduate of Yale Medical School, ā€œeducationally challenged.ā€ I even forgive you for threatening me. However, I do not forgive you for being willfully ignorant to the subjects you teach students. I also do not forgive you for claiming to be an ally. An ally is so much more than wearing a safety pin. It also requires that you listen to the needs of Black people and respect the issues that we raise. When a Black student raises a concern over the way you are portraying her history, referring to all youā€™ve done for Black people doesnā€™t change the fact that youā€™re portraying slavery as some kind of slavery lite. As an educator and as an ally, you are not expected to know everything but this does not abdicate you from the responsibility of always continuing to learn- even from your students. Additionally, if you wanted to actually help Black men and women, youā€™d value our words. Unfortunately, your actions simply mirror how America values Black people in todayā€™s society.


This Black girl is a hero who overcame her fear and faced her teacher defending Black people and Black history.Ā 
#StayWoke #BlackPride #StopRacists

this is whyā€¦white womenā€¦cant teach black people, or people of color as a whole. White supremacy has a long history of setting up white women to destroy people of color namely black and native people) via education.Ā 

I was going through my old likes and decided to see if there was any updates in this story.

The professor was arrested for assaulting Kayla in a grocery storeĀ but the charges were dismissed by a judge on the condition Morelock has no further contact with Kayla

I couldnā€™t find any more recent news on Kayla than what was said in the second link, but I sincerely hope she wasnā€™t in any way negatively impacted because of the situation with Morelock, especially since the second link says there were multiple other faculty members that defended Morelockā€¦
this is why I do not and never will like white educators.

Morelock also continues to post about Kayla on her public Facebook, but (probably for ongoing legal reasons) still canā€™t or wonā€™t name her directly. You canā€™t underestimate peopleā€™s hatefulness & the depth of their vindictive and petty fixations out hereā€” even & especially people in a position of power over you with the potential to harm you, ā€œallyā€ or no.
And Kayla seems to be doing well! Her FB page says she became a Director at Amnesty International, and has just moved forward to become a Canvass Director for Care.org. Folks will try to block your blessings and drag you down to their hater-ass level in the mud, but you gotta fight & keep on shining. ā˜€ļø

ā€œShe wears a safety pin so everyone knows sheā€™s an ally for minorities. Her cover photo has a Black power fist. She regularly discusses her love for the Obamas, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and her admonishment for this current administration.ā€


However, it wasnā€™t enough to hide her racism.Ā 
It all started with a simple question from a test. The question stated,Ā 
ā€œHistorical research on African-American families during slavery shows that: A) Family ties werenā€™t important in African cultures where the slaves ancestors originated; consequently, family bonds were never strong among slaves. B) Two-parent families were extremely rare during the slave period. C) Black family bonds were destroyed by the abuses of slave owners, who regularly sold off family members to other slave owners. D) Most slave families were headed by two parents.


So, obviously, Kayla chose C. And it was incorrect. According to the teacher, the right answer was D.
The argument started when Kayla wrote her an email and respectfully provided the professor the evidence, even directly from their textbook. ā€œHowever, my Professor continued to argueĀ that family bonds were not destroyed and that 2/3 of slave families were headed by two parents.ā€ The teacher cited Herbert Gutman, sociologist, who died in 1985 and surely took part in the whitewashing of Black history.
When they met to discuss the subject in person the professor gave Kayla books to read adding such statements as, ā€œThis book would be good for you to read. I believe itā€™s $6 so I could buy it for you if youā€™d like.ā€ The stated that she spent her whole life fighting for minorities and something likeĀ ā€œIā€™ve got Black friends.ā€Ā 
When the girl was proving her opinion, she heard more comments as, ā€œYouā€™re talking to someone who has spent their entire life fighting for people of diversity and marched with my Black brothers and sisters.ā€


As the result, the teacher asked Kayla to lecture the class on the topic and that was her fatal mistake.
Kayla took all her courage and made a presentation on the topic she was passionate about. She defended Black people and Black history. Hereā€™s her presentation.
That was the point where the story should end, but NO.
The professor obviously forgot about privacy settings on Facebook and posted offensive comments about Kayla.
The professorā€™s last words to Kayla were:
This time The University of Tennessee stood up for the student. In July the teacher officially retiring from the university.
This is fucking insane.
The last paragraph of kayaā€™s story is everything:


To my Professor, I forgive you for robbing me of my focus last semester. I forgive you for calling my Father, a graduate of Yale Medical School, ā€œeducationally challenged.ā€ I even forgive you for threatening me. However, I do not forgive you for being willfully ignorant to the subjects you teach students. I also do not forgive you for claiming to be an ally. An ally is so much more than wearing a safety pin. It also requires that you listen to the needs of Black people and respect the issues that we raise. When a Black student raises a concern over the way you are portraying her history, referring to all youā€™ve done for Black people doesnā€™t change the fact that youā€™re portraying slavery as some kind of slavery lite. As an educator and as an ally, you are not expected to know everything but this does not abdicate you from the responsibility of always continuing to learn- even from your students. Additionally, if you wanted to actually help Black men and women, youā€™d value our words. Unfortunately, your actions simply mirror how America values Black people in todayā€™s society.


This Black girl is a hero who overcame her fear and faced her teacher defending Black people and Black history.Ā 
#StayWoke #BlackPride #StopRacists

this is whyā€¦white womenā€¦cant teach black people, or people of color as a whole. White supremacy has a long history of setting up white women to destroy people of color namely black and native people) via education.Ā 

I was going through my old likes and decided to see if there was any updates in this story.

The professor was arrested for assaulting Kayla in a grocery storeĀ but the charges were dismissed by a judge on the condition Morelock has no further contact with Kayla

I couldnā€™t find any more recent news on Kayla than what was said in the second link, but I sincerely hope she wasnā€™t in any way negatively impacted because of the situation with Morelock, especially since the second link says there were multiple other faculty members that defended Morelockā€¦
this is why I do not and never will like white educators.

Morelock also continues to post about Kayla on her public Facebook, but (probably for ongoing legal reasons) still canā€™t or wonā€™t name her directly. You canā€™t underestimate peopleā€™s hatefulness & the depth of their vindictive and petty fixations out hereā€” even & especially people in a position of power over you with the potential to harm you, ā€œallyā€ or no.
And Kayla seems to be doing well! Her FB page says she became a Director at Amnesty International, and has just moved forward to become a Canvass Director for Care.org. Folks will try to block your blessings and drag you down to their hater-ass level in the mud, but you gotta fight & keep on shining. ā˜€ļø

Woah

well he really should have worn more protective clothing if he didnā€™t want that to happensounds to me like he was asking for it

Are weĀ reallyĀ sure he was actually shot and decapitated? Idk, sounds like something he wouldā€™ve made up. Guys make false decapitation accusations all the time, you know.Ā 

If he didnā€™t want to be decapitated, he shouldnā€™t have worn a shirt that showed off his neck

I mean, not all woman decapitate people. Iā€™m not like that.


Iā€™m sure he somehow liked it


Look, Iā€™ve heard menā€™s bodies have a way of just rejecting a decapitation.

He shouldnā€™t have been out by himselfā€¦.


She did nothing wrong. She was just having a bit of fun. You know, girls will be girls. He shouldnā€™t be so uptight about it.
