#SouthCarolina #Deandre #Sergeant #Media #Lies #Patience #BLM The young black man aggressively confronted by Army drill sergeant Jonathan Pentland is mentally ill and has been committed to a facility following the incident in a quiet gated community, Dailymail.com can reveal. Pentland, 42, has been charged with third degree assault and battery after finding the man outside his large detached house and telling him: 'You've come to the wrong neighborhood motherf****r'. The alleged victim - identified only as Deandre on social media - has been facing charges of trespass and animal cruelty from different incidents, Dailymail.com can reveal. He told Pentland he 'was walking to my house' during the confrontation, which was filmed in a three-minute clip that went viral - and sparked Black Lives Matter Protests outside the home near Columbia, South Carolina. And he appears confused but composed as Pentland aggressively accuses him of 'hanging around' the community for 15 minutes. The soldier asks where Deandre lives and claims he is 'harassing the neighborhood'. Deandre replies he lives locally, which Pentland insists is not the case because it is a 'tight-knit community'. The Staff Sergeant repeatedly yells at him and gets in his face. He tells the man: 'You're in the wrong neighborhood. I ain't playing with you. I'm about to show you what I can do.' He also says: 'Check it out, you can either walk away or I'm going to carry your a*s out.' At one point he pushes the man, who almost falls to the ground. In fact, Deandre does appear to have a close relative who lives just a 10-minute walk from the scene of confrontation. Houses in the area are of a very similar build. Pentland, an instructor at nearby Fort Jackson, fled his home with wife Cassie. It was a still standing empty Friday night, with a broken upstairs window after the protests outside. It is not known where they are currently. The father of two has been suspended from his drill instructor role until the outcome of the Department of Justice assault charge. Brigadier General Milford Beagle Jnr, commander of Fort Jackson, said: 'Soldier conduct on and off duty must be exemplary to retain the trust of our communities and our nation.' Dozens of Black Lives Matter protestors rallied outside Pentland's home at The Lakes at Barony Place in the Summit neighborhood of Richland County on Wednesday night, holding signs and chanting. The career soldier faces 30 days in jail and a $500 fine if found guilty. He is listed as having been detained in the Richland County Jail and issued a personal recognizance bond, according to online jail records. He was originally handed a citation for malicious injury to property for slapping Deandre's phone out of his hand and cracking it, accordin ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbScbe-xCUo

#Pepsi #CocaCola #White #BeLessWhite #Diversity Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white” as part of the company’s alleged diversity training — but the material was yanked offline following a viral whistleblower post. The “Confronting Racism” course in question was offered by LinkedIn Education and allegedly utilized by the soft-drink titan. “In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,” reads one of the slides, allegedly sent from an “internal whistleblower” and posted on Twitter by YouTube commentator Karlyn Borysenko. Another slide suggests “try to be less white” with tips including “be less oppressive,” “listen,” “believe” and “break with white solidarity.” Borysenko, who describes herself as a supporter of banning critical race theory, said the screenshots were sent to her from an “internal whistleblower” from Coca-Cola, who told her the course was “required.” Her tweet from Friday has garnered 18,000 retweets and more than 34,000 likes. On Monday, LinkedIn said it had pulled the controversial course — featuring interviews with sociologist Robin DiAngelo, the author of “White Fragility.” “The Confronting Racism course featuring Robin DiAngelo is no longer available in our course library, at the request of the 3rd party content provider we licensed this content from,” Nicole Leverich, vice president of corporate communications, told Newsweek in an email. Leverich continued, “We provide a wide variety of learning content, including more than 270 courses on the topics of diversity, inclusion and belonging. We will continue to add new courses to help people learn the skills they need to be more successful in their career, including the foundational skills we all need to be effective allies and help build a more equitable future.” DiAngelo, meanwhile, insists she was unaware she was featured in the course. “The slides included were not created by Dr. DiAngelo,” said her rep, Caitlin Meyer. “She was unaware that the videos had been re-edited in this way, or that they were being marketed as a course/training on anti-racism, since the way the content was put together did not accurately represent the way she would facilitate that type of work.” Coca-Cola denied that the training was mandatory for employees, Newsweek reported. But Borysenko told the outlet that multiple workers said it was, in fact, required. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvAJtML9VRI

#Seuss #Cancelled #Biden #Read #Racism The White House on Tuesday declined to defend Dr. Seuss after President Joe Biden left the children's author out of a proclamation celebrating Read Across America Day. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the day is 'a chance to celebrate diverse authors whose work and lived experience reflect the diversity of our country.' Her comments come after Biden omitted Dr. Seuss from Read Across America Day, which is held annually on the children's author's birthday on March 2. But now six of his children's books will no longer be published because of racist and insensitive imagery, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that preserves and protects the author's legacy, announced Tuesday. Biden broke presidential tradition when he left out any mention of Dr. Seuss during his proclamation. Both former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump have recognized Dr. Seuss' contributions several times in their proclamations each year. Psaki said the Education Department wrote the proclamation, not the White House. But she added: 'It's especially important that we ensure all children can see themselves represented and celebrated in the books that they read.' Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, had been the face of the annual Read Across America day for more than 20 years. Asked if he was omitted this year because of racist images in some of his writing, Psaki said: 'I think it is important that children of all backgrounds see themselves in the children's books that they read, but I would point you to the Department of Education for any more details on the writing of the proclamation.' Explaining the decision to stop the publication of the six Dr. Seuss books, the company said: 'These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.' In 'And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,' an Asian person is portrayed wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl. 'If I Ran the Zoo' includes a drawing of two bare-footed African men wearing what appear to be grass skirts with their hair tied above their heads. 'Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises' catalog represents and supports all communities and families,' the company said. The decision to cease publication and sales of the books was made last year after months of discussion, the company said. 'Dr. Seuss Enterprises listened and took feedback from our audiences including teachers, academics and specialists in the field as part of our review process. We then worked with a panel of experts, including educators, to review our catalog of titles.' Random House Children Books, Dr. Seuss' publisher, issued a brief statement on Tuesday: 'We respect th ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80jnBC6EeZY
