Amid controversy, Israel issues new birth-control guidelines

“JERUSALEM — Rocked by a scandal involving birth-control treatments for Ethiopian Jews, Israel’s health ministry issued new guidelines on the use of the injections known commercially as Depo-Provera.
In a recent letter to the country’s four HMOs reported Sunday, Ron Gamzu, director general of the health ministry, instructed gynecologists against renewing prescriptions in cases where the patient does not fully understand the treatment’s implications.
The ministry’s new policy comes in response to a controversy exposed last month by local investigative journalist Gal Gabbay, who reported that Jewish Ethiopian women awaiting emigration to Israel in transit camps in Ethiopia were coaxed into the treatment with little medical explanation and led to understand this was a condition for moving to Israel…”

“In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day,” Charlie Webster told Portland, Maine’s NBC affiliate on Wednesday. “Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knows anyone who’s black.

Lawsuit claims black sacker, ban from Big Sandy grocery store violated customer’s rights (source)

BIG SANDY — A Hawkins man is claiming his civil rights and religious freedom were violated earlier this year when a black man sacked his groceries and a Big Sandy grocery…

“Wait a minute, don’t touch my groceries. I can’t have someone negroidal touch my food. It’s against my creed.”

According to the lawsuit, Thomas went on to explain he meant a black person when he used the term “negroidal.”

“My question is, why after I told them how I felt and that it was against my creed did this negroid try to impress himself upon me and try to handle my groceries again.” Thomas said.

Thomas said his religious beliefs are based on Vedism, which he said encompasses Hinduism.

“Vedism translates into knowledge. I am not this way because I am ignorant. Ignorance is the enemy,” he said.

I’m laughing way too fucking hard.  I just can not wrap my head around someone saying this in all seriousness.  I’m pretty sure that’s a mental defense against the crushing depression that would ensue, though.

Oh mah jebus…I am utterly depressed to say that this area is where I was born and raised.

What the actual fuck.

Weird Tales Magazine faces a boycott after endorsing a "thoroughly non-racist book"

The new novel Saving The Pearls: Defending Eden sounds like something that someone made up as a prank. Victoria Foyt’s self-published novel takes place in a world where, due to global warming, most white people are dead. The world is ruled by black people, called “coals” in the book. The remaining white people, called “pearls,” are oppressed by the “coals.” But apparently this book is real, and its author chose to promote it with a video showing a white person in blackface. The internet, not surprisingly, was not amused.
