Unilever Funded the Racism That Killed Jason Arday

 

 

… because that is the multinational corporation with a colonialist history that funded the white supremacist ‘research” of the dude Nathan Confman who was an American feeding his jealousy that bolstered his resolve to go through some hundred thousand words to find an arguably questionable CITATION in Professor Arday’s work …

 

… but also that *just that* was the spark that drove the absolute feeding frenzy in the British and international media that drove a man and academic to suicide – and again which turned out to be FALSE allegations …

 

… at the same time publications now in their mea culpa phase (and Dr. Stacey has a few things to say about that & I’ll post her link in comments too) are starting to find the hundreds of instances of instances with White academics & professionals where the same transgressions were PROVEN and yet they faced #ZeroConsequences.

 

 

There is so much to all this including the fact that the plagiarism allegations levied against Professor Arday are apparently false AND that apparently the research he, Professor Arday, was doing, about essentially the sociology of colonization in education & job opportunities which essentially kept Black folk nationwide (and worldwide) “in their place” AND the fact that no representatives from Unilever have yet to face any questions, apparently, on their funding of eugenics …

 

… and how all this is what allowed Russian white supremacists to infiltrate American society and subvert American elections and subvert the country’s functioning …

 

I’m going to post some more commentary about this but I really need everyone when they have time to listen to this first segment in order to give themselves the context concerning how big this is and the absolute enormity of we’re all up against

 

 

 

 

 

I’m also putting up Nicolle Wallace’s “Best People” with Professor Timothy Snyder  - not just because it felt validating to hear the same thing from him that some of the rest of us have been sharing w/people for years about how we fix this *in order to* sustain democracy … but also because despite the enormity of the task he breaks it down into the bite size chunks of

 

“everyone can just do a little”

 

and we can and will get this done
