Or at least, cheap indignation!
It’s one of those committees you never hear about. Probably because God loves you. It’s called the Sustainable Madison Committee. “Sustainable” being one of the favored buzz words of our age, along with inclusive, equitable, systemic, and “It’s Only Property.”
“Building a Green Capital City” is Sustainable’s goal. (Don’t tell Kermit; he’s in trouble with Disney.) Let’s just say, Sustainable Madison has a severe case of Portlandia. The Committee has 18 members on a good day but today, two fewer because they resigned Wednesday 02-24-21.
This is breaking news at Madison365, which sees the world through the lens of racial oppression, which — it assures us — is bubbling behind every guilty white face. Their headline screams (Extra! Extra! Read allabouddit!):
Two Sustainable Madison Committee members resign over
“God bless George Floyd” remark
The two big quitters are Matthew Braunginn, who helped develop the Police Civilian Oversight Committee) and Nada Elmikashfi (chief of staff to State Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison). The two quit in righteous indignation because of something co-chair Denise DeMarb said. (Her epidermis, it should be noted, is a whiter shade of pale.) Braunginn, whose outer shell is more nuanced, accused DeMarb of uttering the words:
“God bless George Floyd.”
To which the Werkes can only say:
HUH?
WHAT?
Braunginn & Elmikashfi
Them’s fighting words?
That’s it? No N-word? No minstrel references? No demands that kids quit stealing cars and do their homework? Braunginn lectures Whitey:
“The implication (was) that White people got better, that [George Floyd] served as a martyr for this country. The martyrdom of Black Americans is very prevalent among particularly White liberals and we see that, I think, in how we celebrate MLK and how a lot of these folks will uphold the whitewashed and martyred idea of Dr. King without actually exploring his radical nature and radical ideology.
“[It was] the typical well meaning White liberal kind of paternalistic type of racism. She called to apologize in a way and it just really rang hollow to me.”
Befitting the Code of the Perpetually Offended, skulking off into the sunset was not enough for Braunginn and Elmikashfi. The two racist scolds demand DeMarb’s resignation and that of co-chair Lance Green “as well as new policies to address racism in city committees.” The Werkes calls this the Hans Gruber School of Demands — as long as you’ve got them on the line, ask for a nice car. Braunginn and Elmikashfi forgot “Venmo me the money” but it’s a start.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: The real question is whether Madison city government is sustainable.

I admit I like it that Braunginn is exposing the white liberals for being full of shit. 10 years past the teachers union defeat of Madison prep I see the 18,19 year olds in trouble and think “What if?”

Yes, there’s something satisfying about watching the sanctimonious get taken down a peg.

Maybe a Stalin purge wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

Perhaps Madison’s version of the “Committee of Public Safety” will begin their own “self-purge”. Can’t let a perfectly good guillotine grow rusty. Can they?

Is there nuthin’ that doesn’t dislocate Ms. Nada’s septum?
2013 article: Born in a village on the Nile river, she says, “I remember running with my grandpa to the fields and helping him farm. During harvest, he instilled strong values of hard work, generosity and a belief in the goodness of the world. I have found these values in Wisconsin and have been taught so much more along the way.”
Emigrated in 2002, 6 years old, a fast learner… She quickly learned every potty-mouthed expression ever spouted by Lefty wing-nutz. I suspect eventually she will die alone with 42 cats and a featherless parakeet.
Matt, the other guy? He looks just like the goof he is, no further research needed….

I swear some of these people are so weird… do they have serious psych problems or something? Maybe their public pronouncements of outrage about the most ridiculous things are actually exhibitions of acting-out some sort of illness…. who really knows.
Befuddled liberals, mainly white females of course, must dread this kind of thing as they prance about Madison desperately virtue-signaling their woke credentials whenever they can.
It’s like going down State Street… you never know when some loudmouth off their meds is going to just start screaming at the top of their lungs.

What is it about being white and female that may cause befuddlement, AdamC? If you want to criticize a demographic, try that testosterone-laden mob of mostly white males that attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 06.

Why? Because we are talking about Madison here. Duh. Not a 3-hour beer belly putsch that ended 2 months ago (oh BTW an unarmed white female was shot to death by police but that don’t matter of course). Stay on topic please.

Competition for purest or them all is fierce out there in Madison, isn’t it? Those two are running hard in a race where everyone else in it just keeps accelerating. Being woke is not for the faint-hearted. Got to beat the competition. And it ain’t as easy as it used to be.

Being woke is got to be a bitch. Being more woke than everyone else is got to be nearly impossible. One must remember that it was Stalin who turned everyone against each other and had most of those who brought him into power, shot, so that he remained in power.
Ultimately the goal of the people in power is to kill most everyone so that everyone else lives in terror that they will be next. This is just communism under the name of progressivism.
Just look for example the cancel culture that we now live in. Just listen to this vid by Stefan Molyneux called: Cancel Culture is a Dress Rehearsal for Mass Murder.
This is what we in America are headed for. The question we must ask all of ourselves is this what you want for your future?
