The prosecutor who secured Jeffrey Dahmer&#8217;s conviction isn&#8217;t buying the Netflix spin suggesting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/milwaukee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milwaukee</a> police officers may have intentionally ignored clues in the case because the victims were black or gay.
According to an <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/09/28/jeffrey-dahmer-prosecutor-denies-racial-homophobic-bias-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> posted by entertainment website TMZ early on Wednesday, former Milwaukee County District Attorney Michael McCann fired back after Netflix&#8217;s series appeared to suggest that racism and homophobia may have led police officers to slow-walk parts of the investigation into the notorious <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/somebodys-after-me-police-release-911-calls-related-to-cold-case-that-led-to-serial-killer-discovery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serial killer</a>.
McCann reportedly told the outlet that &#8220;the notion that MPD officers turned a blind eye to Dahmer&#8217;s victims because of their race or sexual orientation is ludicrous, despite what &#8216;Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story&#8217; portrays.&#8221;
The former district attorney said that he had not yet watched the Netflix offering — but that he had heard enough about it to know that the producers had adopted an anti-police approach and were framing officers as being racist and homophobic.
McCann insisted that Dahmer&#8217;s modus operandi (MO) relied on protecting his privacy and leaving very few — if any — traces that could have led police to him at an earlier date. He went on to reiterate that &#8220;neither race nor sexual orientation had influenced how police investigated Dahmer.&#8221;
The Netflix show has also received a fair amount of criticism from others as well. The family of one of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/its-cruel-victims-family-member-not-happy-about-new-monster-the-jeffrey-dahmer-story-documentary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dahmer&#8217;s victims</a> called it &#8220;cruel&#8221; and &#8220;retraumatizing,&#8221; asking why there even needed to be another retelling of Dahmer&#8217;s story.
&#8220;I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge rn, but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show. It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?&#8221; Eric Perry tweeted, adding, &#8220;Like recreating my cousin having an emotional breakdown in court in the face of the man who tortured and murdered her brother is WILD. WIIIIIILD.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Despite the fact that Dahmer was gay and the series&#8217; effort to portray police as homophobic, <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/not-the-representation-were-looking-for-netflix-removes-lgbtq-tag-from-jeffrey-dahmer-drama-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more complaints</a> came from social media and members of the LGBTQ community — many of whom argued, &#8220;This is not the representation we&#8217;re looking for.&#8221; The backlash led Netflix to remove the &#8220;LGBTQ&#8221; tag from the streaming platform, classifying the show as &#8220;Crime TV Shows&#8221; and &#8220;Social Issue Drama&#8221; instead.

&#8220;Stranger Things&#8221; star Caleb McLaughin told an group over the weekend that some fans of the show are racist because they wouldn&#8217;t take pictures with him during the first season.
In a video that surfaced on <a href="https://twitter.com/spideychaIamet/status/1574059160521564161?s=20&amp;t=MxJINu8duzOiO-g37zz5PA">Twitter</a> Sunday, the 20-year-old actor said at the Heroes Comic Con Belgium that he dealt with racism early in his career after being the only &#8220;black kid&#8221; on the series.
&#8220;It definitely took a toll on me as a younger kid,&#8221; McLaughlin, who plays the popular character Lucas Sinclair on the hit <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stranger-things">Netflix show</a>, shared in the clip. &#8220;My very first Comic Con, some people didn&#8217;t stand in my line because I was black.&#8221;
&#8220;Some people told me, like, &#8216;Oh, I didn&#8217;t wanna be in line because you were mean to Eleven,'&#8221; he added, noting Millie Bobby Brown&#8217;s character on the series. &#8220;Even now, some people don&#8217;t follow me or don&#8217;t support me because I&#8217;m black.&#8221;
He also shared that, &#8220;sometimes overseas you&#8217;ll feel the racism &#8230; the bigotry.&#8221;
&#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to talk about and for people to understand, but when I was younger it definitely affected me a lot,&#8221; McLaughlin told the group.

McLaughlin said both he and his parents have attributed his follower account in the past to him being &#8220;the black child on the show.&#8221;
&#8220;Why [do I have] the least amount of followers?&#8221; Caleb said he would think when he was younger. &#8220;I&#8217;m on the same show as everybody from Season 1. My parents had to be like, &#8216;it&#8217;s the sad truth, but it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re the black child on the show.'&#8221;
&#8220;Wow, that was crazy,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Because I was born with this beautiful chocolate skin, I&#8217;m not loved. But that&#8217;s why with my platform I want to spread positivity and love because I do not give hate back to people who give hate to me.&#8221;
For fans of the show, Lucas has been a beloved character from the very start where his character has grown and become more popular every year.

Stephen A. Smith of ESPN slammed the Boston Celtics after news broke that their coach, Ime Udoka, was <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/ime-udoka-facing-significant-suspension-boston-celtics-head-coach-nia-long/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">likely being suspended</a> for reportedly having a consensual relationship with a staffer at the organization.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka is likely facing a suspension for the entire 2022-2023 season for his role in a consensual relationship with a female staff member, sources tell ESPN. A formal announcement is expected as soon as today.
&mdash; Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1572949584837767173?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Smith claimed there were many instances where white people in professional sports organizations had exhibited similar behavior and the media remained unaware or mum about the subject.
“I’m going to take it a step further, I don’t appreciate that being done to a brother,” Smith <a href="https://grabien.com/story.php?id=394965?utm_source=cliplist&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=cliplist20220923&amp;utm_content=story394965" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> angrily. “Because I&#8217;ve got news for you, America, there&#8217;s plenty of white folks in professional sports that&#8217;s doing their thing. And I say that not complimentary. I don&#8217;t see the information out about them. Why we talking about this now. We got to talk about it because it’s the news.”
“Ain&#8217;t none of our damn business, unless you fire him,” he opined. “But if you keep him, it&#8217;s none of our business. It should never have been put out there by the Celtics organization. And don&#8217;t tell me you didn&#8217;t do it because you absolutely did it. Because news reporters got it, so it emanated out of Boston. Somebody in L.A. or Utah or something leaking this stuff about the Boston Celtics. This is on y’all. It shouldn’t have been out here. That’s what I have to say.”
“This is a stupid, stupid position for him to find himself in,” Smith admitted. “There’s no way around it. I’m a huge fan of his; there’s no excuse for him to find himself in this position.&#8221;
“Now all we know definitively, according to the reports, is that he had a consensual relationship with a woman and that it is against organizational policy. That’s all we know,” he contended.
“Covering the NBA as long as I have, you will hear a multitude of details that would be irresponsible for me to report at this moment in time, because that hasn’t been reported, and according to our own policy &#8230; and we have an obligation to follow that, and when more additional information comes out,” he smiled, “just know that I already know what that information is.”
Smith stated that if Udoka had violated the Celtics’ organizational policy, they had every right to fire him.
But then he attacked the Celtics’ organization, saying, “I got a problem with you as an organization. Because if you’re not going to fire him, why the hell do we even know about this story.”
“Nobody’s bringing that up,” he snapped. “I’m going to bring that up. What the hell are you telling us for?”
Claiming that “fraternization” happens all the time in sports organizations, he continued, “the issue I have with the Boston Celtics is if you’re firing him, you wouldn’t tell us why. So if you’re going to retain him, why let us know now?”

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/sharon-osbourne/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharon Osbourne</a>, formerly of CBS&#8217; &#8220;The Talk,&#8221; revealed in a new Fox Nation special what she really wanted to say when her co-hosts accused her of racism during a live broadcast.
The <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/sharon-osbourne-wanted-to-say-fck-you-to-her-cbs-co-hosts-when-they-accused-her-of-racism-on-air/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special</a>, titled &#8220;Sharon Osbourne: To Hell &amp; Back,&#8221; is set to premiere on the streaming service on September 26 — and it follows <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sharon-osbourne-says-she-was-ousted-from-the-talk-after-privately-slamming-not-genuine-oprah-royals-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Osbourne</a> through a series of personal reflections on her life and career.
One of the show&#8217;s highlights is the very abrupt and public end of her time at CBS — when she says she was essentially forced off &#8220;The Talk&#8221; over her comments about the now-infamous <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/i-wouldnt-believe-it-if-she-read-me-the-weather-report-piers-morgan-furiously-rips-meghan-markle-after-oprah-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oprah Winfrey interview</a> with Prince Harry and his wife, American actress Meghan Markle.
&#8220;I wanted to look into the camera and say ‘F*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, and CBS take that.’ But I couldn’t do that,&#8221; Osbourne said on the Fox Nation special. &#8220;Can you imagine if I’d have done that, what it would’ve done? It would’ve been suicidal for me to do that, but that’s what was inside me. And I honestly wanted to say, &#8216;CBS, go f*** yourselves.’”
The whole situation began with fellow British media personality Piers Morgan — who has not been shy about his dislike for Markle especially — and his response to the accusations of racism and bullying that the royal couple had made against the Crown.
&#8220;I’m just going to say what I’m going to say. This is a two-hour trash-a-thon of our royal family, of the monarchy, of everything the queen has worked so hard for, and it’s all being done as Prince Philip lies in hospital,&#8221; Morgan said following the interview. &#8220;They trash everybody. They basically make out the entire royal family [are] a bunch of white supremacists by dropping this race bombshell. They didn’t name which one it was. They just throw it out there, so it can be any member of the royal family.&#8221;
Osbourne offered Morgan her support in a tweet, saying, &#8220;I am with you. I stand by you. People forget that you’re paid for your opinion and that you’re just speaking your truth.&#8221;
When she stood by her tweet on &#8220;The Talk,&#8221; her co-hosts accused her of being a racist — which she flatly denied and said that Morgan wasn&#8217;t a racist either. But CBS — which also aired the Oprah interview — published a statement condemning Osbourne&#8217;s comments, at which point she resigned from the show.
Osbourne has continued to defend Morgan, saying on &#8220;To Hell &amp; Back,&#8221; &#8220;Piers isn’t a racist, has never written anything that’s racist, has never said anything that’s racist. And because you don’t agree with somebody, they could be an alien. They could be purple, pink or blue. If you don’t agree with them, you don’t agree with them. That’s all.&#8221;
&#8220;He was branded a racist, and because I supported him, I was branded a racist,&#8221; she continued.
And she made it clear that she was still angry with CBS: &#8220;They said to me at one point, ‘You’re not repentant enough. And we don’t believe that you can repent for what you’ve done.’ I’m like: ‘What’s this? Am I in f***ing church? Can’t do it, so go f*** yourselves.’”

Former South Carolina Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/nikki-haley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> (R) made it clear on Wednesday that she was not expecting an apology for racist remarks &#8220;The View&#8221; host Sunny Hostin made with regard to her name.
Haley made an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Faulkner Focus&#8221; with anchor Harris Faulkner, and she outlined the double standard that would allow Hostin to get away with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sunny-hostin-says-nikki-haley-ditched-ethnic-name-to-pass-but-she-ditched-asuncion-because-americans-are-stupid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying racist things</a> as long as they were directed at conservative minorities.

Haley, who also served under former President Donald Trump as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, responded directly to Hostin&#8217;s accusation that she was a &#8220;chameleon&#8221; who chose to go by Nikki — rather than her more ethnic-sounding first name Nimrata — in order to &#8220;pass.&#8221;
&#8220;Wow, she really is that racially ignorant?&#8221; Faulkner asked after playing a clip of Hostin&#8217;s comments. &#8220;Your response?&#8221;
&#8220;It is not the first time and it won’t be the last time that the hosts of &#8216;The View&#8217; come after me, or that liberals come after me in whatever way,&#8221; Haley replied. &#8220;They can’t stand the fact that a minority female would be a conservative Republican.&#8221;
Haley went on to describe what had happened when she had won the South Carolina gubernatorial race: &#8220;A reporter went to a high-ranking African American Democrat female and said, &#8216;How do you feel that South Carolina now has their first minority governor?&#8217; And she said, &#8216;Nikki Haley is not a minority. She is just a conservative with a tan.'&#8221;
&#8220;Ooooh,&#8221; Faulkner
&#8220;So you look at what Sunny Hostin does and the idea that no, Sunny is not her name. Nikki is my name. It is on my birth certificate, it is an Indian name, and I embrace my Indian heritage,&#8221; Haley continued. &#8220;The idea that they can do this &#8230; You won’t see her fired from that show. We won’t see an apology from that show. They let liberals say that about conservative Republican minorities all the time. But yet nothing is done. Had this been said about a Democrat, all hell would have broken loose.&#8221;
Haley had previously <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/sunny-isnt-your-birth-name-nikki-haley-fires-back-at-the-view-for-calling-her-an-ethnic-chameleon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed out</a> the fact that Hostin&#8217;s real first name is Asunción, but when Hostin was challenged directly by co-host Sara Haines, she claimed that when she chose to go by a different name it was not about &#8220;passing&#8221; — rather, she said it was because Americans were too stupid or under-educated to pronounce it properly.

But Haley, who has gone by her middle name &#8220;Nikki&#8221; since she was a child, quickly pointed out that Hostin had also chosen to publicly go by a name other than the first name she was given.
&#8220;Thanks for your concern @Sunny,&#8221; Haley tweeted after the broadcast. &#8220;It&#8217;s racist of you to judge my name.

Hostin, who was born Asunción Cummings, has gone by the nickname &#8220;Sunny&#8221; for years — a fact that was not even lost on her &#8220;The View&#8221; co-hosts when she began attacking Haley during Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast.
&#8220;There’s some of us that can be chameleons,&#8221; Hostin said, referring to Haley. &#8220;And decide not to embrace our ethnicity so that we can pass —&#8221;
&#8220;Sunny, you go by a different name!&#8221; co-host Sara Haines interrupted.
Hostin immediately pivoted to defend herself. She insisted that her situation was different and that she had only changed her name because most Americans were too stupid or poorly educated to properly pronounce her given name.
&#8220;Because most Americans can’t pronounce Asunción,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Because of the under-education in our country.&#8221;

‘Sunny Isn’t Your Birth Name’: Nikki Haley Fires Back At ‘The View’ For Calling Her An Ethnic ‘Chameleon’

Nikki Haley Fires Back At 'The View' Host Sunny Hostin For Calling Her An Ethnic 'Chameleon'

The current chief “diversity, equity and inclusion” officer at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-defense">Department of Defense</a>&#8216;s Education Activity office, who supervises the education of the children of Pentagon employees and overseas military members, issued a series of social posts disparaging white people.
Kelisa Wing was promoted to her current position in December 2021. Director Thomas Brady, in announcing the promotion to a position created for her, enthused, “Kelisa Wing is exactly the right person to lead our efforts in building on the foundational work done to support meaningful change in our organization.”
“This new position will take a holistic approach to identifying and improving how we integrate the practice of diversity, equity and inclusion in every aspect of DoDEA, from curriculum and assessment to hiring and professional development,” he added.

Kelisa Wing tweeted in June 2020, “I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions,” as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/woke-department-defense-equity-chief-writes-anti-white-posts-exhausted-white-folx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.
Using the term CAUdacity, which refers to audacity from white people, she also tweeted, “[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too … I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS … [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power.”
Answering another tweet, she took aim at white people once again, writing, “If another Karen tells me about her feelings… I might lose it&#8230;”
At the end of May 2020, Wing <a href="https://www.edpost.com/stories/teachers-must-hold-themselves-accountable-for-dismantling-racial-oppression" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, “Racism is ingrained in the very fabric of our country.”
On Friday, Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, Public Affairs Officer at Office of the Secretary of Defense, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/department-defense-reviewing-equity-chief-disparaging-posts-white-people-exposed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued a statement </a>saying, “We are aware of news reports concerning an official at DoDEA.”
“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in… [DoDEA] are an important part of building and sustaining an organizational culture where all students, educators, and staff are valued and respected,” she continued. “Our focus remains on ensuring military-connected students, their families, and our employees have equitable access to opportunities and resources that support student achievement and readiness for college and careers.”
Wing has authored books for children including titles such as “What Is White Privilege,” “ What Is Anti-Racism?” and “What Does it Mean To Defund the Police?” The Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11227333/Pentagon-launches-probe-woke-female-diversity-officer-disparaging-tweets-white-people.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.
“White Privilege” contains sentences including, “If you are White you might feel bad about hurting others or you might feel afraid to lose this privilege.” It also encourages white children to wonder if they will “really feel good at the end of the race when you look back and see others fighting obstacles that you didn&#8217;t even have?’
“What is Anti-Racism?” asserts that the word “race” stems from  Italian or Hebrew, The Daily Mail noted, pointing out that Biblical Hebrew has no such word.

On Friday, August 26th, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-casts-doubt-on-story-that-fan-shouted-n-word-at-duke-volleyball-player">Duke University volleyball team</a> took the court against Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. 5,507 fans gathered for the contest &#8211; a school record for women’s volleyball.
Following the match, reports surfaced claiming  Duke player Rachel Richardson was a victim of racial heckling from a person in the BYU student section. Richardson’s Godmother, Lesa Pamplin, who is running for circuit court judge in Fort Worth, Texas, tweeted, “My Goddaughter is the only black starter on Duke’s volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a n***er every time she served.”
Naturally, this prompted responses from every media outlet in the nation. BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe issued an immediate apology and banned the accused fan indefinitely. LeBron James and other celebrities joined in supporting Richardson, and University of South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley canceled a previously scheduled home-and-home series with BYU.
Only after the viral chaos was unleashed did someone bother to check the facts.
It took two weeks for BYU to complete a full-scale investigation and issue a <a href="https://byucougars.com/story/athletics/1300724/statement-byu-athletics-regarding-investigation-aug-26-volleyball-match">statement</a>, which read in part, “We reviewed all available video and audio recordings, including security footage and raw footage from all camera angles &#8230; From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegations that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event.”
The lack of evidence from this immense inquiry didn’t stop Duke <a href="https://apnews.com/article/sports-race-and-ethnicity-racial-injustice-volleyball-cea1e5cc8c3f62afc84caff5826d53da">from doubling down, stating</a>, “We unequivocally stand with and champion our women, especially when their character is called into question. Duke athletics believes in respect, equality and inclusiveness, and we do not tolerate hate and bias.”
Is it hateful or biased to seek the truth? I would think a university still tarnished by the lacrosse scandal of 2006 would vet unfounded claims more thoroughly.
Former Duke basketball star Jay Bilas <a href="https://twitter.com/JayBilas/status/1568262392689172482?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">tweeted</a>, “We stand with and up for Rachel Richardson.” 
How about standing with and up for the facts?
Too often, fraudulent behavior in our society is rewarded or, at least, not punished. This is the byproduct of waging war on objective truth. Grifters are now able to scream lies through a megaphone; then, if caught, they issue retractions on a sticky note. (Or, in many cases, issue no retraction at all.)
A common response following the Jussie Smollett fiasco went something like, Well, he may not be telling the truth about this particular incident, but this type of behavior is historically accurate.
Historically accurate? Try explaining the concept of historical accuracy to the BYU fan who is being banned from campus for an action he or she didn’t commit. 
I am unable to say for certain what Rachel Richardson heard or didn’t hear, but I have a hard time believing that the 5,507 people in attendance &#8211; on a college campus, no less, where sensitivity towards hateful language is at an all-time high &#8211; sat back without intervening while someone repeatedly shouted the n-word.
I also found parts of Richardson’s official <a href="https://twitter.com/rachrich03/status/1563931324569849856?cxt=HHwWgMC84Z3QmbQrAAAA">statement</a> to be problematic, specifically where she expressed, “It is not enough to indicate that you are not racist, instead you must demonstrate that you are anti-racist.”
This sort of semantic manipulation, where the goal posts of social misconduct constantly shift, must be eradicated. By the time you, as the reader, reach the end of this sentence, anti-racism will no longer be an acceptable moral position &#8211; you will have to now be double-anti-racist.
As of this writing, Duke University has yet to issue an apology to the aforementioned man accused of racist language, South Carolina women’s basketball has not rescheduled its series with the Cougars, and BYU has double-downed on its decision to keep fans from sitting behind opposing players in an effort to make their competitors feel more comfortable.
Collegiate athletics are not meant to be comfortable; they’re meant to be uncomfortable. They’re meant to prepare young men and women for the demanding world that lies in wait. Listening to our children as they share concerns is one thing; it’s quite another to coddle them.
America can never rewrite its racial past. Instead, we citizens must find a way to move forward together as one nation, not as separate races.
Ben Shapiro says it best: if someone commits a racist action, point them out, so we can hold them accountable together. Shouldn’t we demand the same accountability for those who fabricate racist encounters? Shouldn’t we require punishment for those who ruin the lives of others in an effort to promote ideological narratives?
Given Lesa Pamplin’s propensity for race-baiting, as evidenced by her twitter feed, there is a larger agenda at play. It’s clear, the demand for discrimination has now outpaced the supply, and for those upset by today’s lack of bigotry, remember: when everything is racist, nothing is racist.

Warner Brothers altered the video game “MultiVersus” last week to prevent the Scooby Doo character Velma from calling the police.
For nearly 50 years, the Scooby Doo franchise has shown The Mystery Inc. gang solving crimes and alerting police to the presence of potential criminals. But critics have recently labeled Velma a “Karen” for doing precisely what had seemed innocent enough before, flashing a “wanted” poster and calling the cops on characters from across the Warner Bros. Discovery catalog.
“Instead of calling the police, Velma now solves the mystery and calls the Mystery Inc. gang and the Mystery Machine to take the bad guys away,” Warner Brothers games <a href="https://multiversus.bugs.wbgames.com/patch-notes">announced</a> last week.
One <a href="https://www.change.org/p/change-velma-s-cop-car-chase-to-mystery-machine-van-chase-in-multiversus?redirect=false">petition</a> that drew a bare 34 signatures lambasted Warner Brothers, stating, “Although historically, the Scooby Doo gang has (but not always) worked with the police to catch the suspect within the cartoons, this cop car is not necessary in the game nor does it add meaning to her moveset. For decades, and especially in recent times, Black &amp; Indigenous people of color around the world have suffered under police brutality and this cop car is ignoring the problem of police brutality in this day in age.”
“We the players of MultiVersus demand the devs from Player First Games to please reconsider the ultimate art of the cop car chase to be replaced by the Mystery Machine van chase that Velma and her friends use to race around to catch the suspects in the cartoon,” the petition continues.
In August, one YouTuber tweeted, “I am enjoying Velma in Multiversus but maining a character who&#8217;s special move is calling the police on her enemies definitely don&#8217;t sit right with me as a black man lol,” adding, “&#8217;Get em sheriff!’ that shit kills me Karen ultimate.”

“A predominant feature of the ‘Karen’ stereotype is that they weaponise their relative privilege against people of colour — for example, when making police complaints against black people for minor or even — in numerous cases — fictitious infringements,” the <a href="applewebdata://3137DA7F-B071-4A1E-8EB6-77EDB0F6DF2D/v">BBC</a> explains.
According to <a href="https://venturebeat.com/games/warner-bros-games-multiversus-surpasses-20m-players-in-a-month/">VentureBeat,</a> “MultiVersus,” which was introduced in July, garnered over 20 million users in the first month it was available.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/duke-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duke University</a> responded Friday to Brigham Young University&#8217;s (BYU) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/byu-finishes-investigation-says-no-racial-slurs-were-hurled-at-duke-volleyball-player" target="_blank" rel="noopener">finding</a> that there is no evidence that racial slurs were hurled at a Duke female volleyball player by saying the university stands by its athletes “when their character is called into question.”
Rachel Richardson, a black Duke volleyball player, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-casts-doubt-on-story-that-fan-shouted-n-word-at-duke-volleyball-player" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> late last month that a spectator at a recent match called her racial slurs, a claim that was amplified by major publications and Richardson’s godmother, a Democrat political candidate in Texas.
“From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegation that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event. As we stated earlier, we would not tolerate any conduct that would make a student-athlete feel unsafe. That is the reason for our immediate response and our thorough investigation,” BYU <a href="https://byucougars.com/story/athletics/1300724/statement-byu-athletics-regarding-investigation-aug-26-volleyball-match" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement on Friday. “As a result of our investigation, we have lifted the ban on the fan who was identified as having uttered racial slurs during the match. We have not found any evidence that that individual engaged in such an activity. BYU sincerely apologizes to that fan for any hardship the ban has caused.”
Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics Nina King released a statement <a href="https://goduke.com/news/2022/9/9/volleyball-statement-from-duke-university-vice-president-director-of-athletics-nina-king.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> that “the 18 members of the Duke University volleyball team are exceptionally strong women who represent themselves, their families, and Duke University with the utmost integrity.”
“We unequivocally stand with and champion them, especially when their character is called into question,” King concluded. “Duke Athletics believes in respect, equality and inclusiveness, and we do not tolerate hate and bias.”
BYU&#8217;s finding that no racial slurs were used came after the university interviewed more than 50 people who attended the game and reviewed all available audio and video recordings they could find.
When Richardson made the unsubstantiated accusation late last month, she said that her goal was not to “call BYU’s athletics out, but rather to call them up,” as she saw this as “an opportunity to dig deep into closed cultures which tolerate amoral racist acts, such as those exhibited Friday night, and change them for the better.”
Richardson then wrote: “It is not enough to indicate that you are not racist, instead you must demonstrate that you are anti-racist.”
BYU Police Lt. George Besendorfer <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2022/08/30/fan-who-was-banned-by-byu-does/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that based on law enforcement’s initial review of the surveillance footage of the crowd, there was no evidence that the person who was banned did what Richardson accused him of doing.
“When we watched the video, we did not observe that behavior from him,” he said.
Besendorfer further said that no one else has come forward to say that they heard any racial slurs being shouted during the game.

A public maelstrom had been catalyzed after Duke volleyball player Rachel Richardson had claimed BYU fans yelled racial slurs at her during that game.
“We reviewed all available video and audio recordings, including security footage and raw footage from all camera angles taken by BYUtv of the match, with broadcasting audio removed (to ensure that the noise from the stands could be heard more clearly),” the BYU <a href="https://byucougars.com/story/athletics/1300724/statement-byu-athletics-regarding-investigation-aug-26-volleyball-match" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> read. “We also reached out to more than 50 individuals who attended the event: Duke athletic department personnel and student-athletes, BYU athletic department personnel and student-athletes, event security and management and fans who were in the arena that evening, including many of the fans in the on-court student section.”
The day after the game, Richardson’s godmother, Lesa Pamplin, who was running for election for the number five judge of the Tarrant County Criminal Court in Texas, tweeted, “My Goddaughter is the only black starter for Dukes volleyball team. While playing yesterday, she was called a n***er every time she served.”
That prompted NBA star Lebron James to chime in, “@LesaPamplin, you tell your Goddaughter to stand tall, be proud and continue to be BLACK!!! We are a brotherhood and sisterhood! We have her back. This is not sports.”

The next day, Richardson <a href="https://twitter.com/rachrich03/status/1563931324569849856">claimed</a>, “Friday night in our match against Brigham Young University my fellow African American teammates and I were targeted and racially heckled throughout the entirety of the match. The slurs and comments grew into threats which caused us to feel unsafe.”
Richardson accused the officials and BYU coaching staff of being aware of the slurs but failing to “take the necessary steps to stop the unacceptable behavior and create a safe environment.”
A week after the August 26 game, South Carolina women’s basketball <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/byu-cougars/2022/09/02/south-carolina-womens-basketball/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">canceled</a> its home-and-home series with Brigham Young.
South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley <a href="https://gamecocksonline.com/news/2022/09/02/womens-basketball-to-change-opponent-for-home-opener/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “As a head coach, my job is to do what’s best for my players and staff. The incident at BYU has led me to reevaluate our home-and-home, and I don’t feel that this is the right time for us to engage in this series.”
“From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegation that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event,” the BYU statement continued, before referring to a fan who had been subsequently banned from the campus after being mistakenly identified as someone yelling racial slurs.
“As a result of our investigation, we have lifted the ban on the fan who was identified as having uttered racial slurs during the match. We have not found any evidence that that individual engaged in such an activity,” the statement declared.

BYU Finishes Investigation, Says No Racial Slurs Were Hurled At Duke Volleyball Player

LeBron James

Oberlin College announced Thursday that it has initiated payment of the $36 million in damages a jury awarded to Gibson’s Bakery after the school supported and encouraged students who falsely accused the family-owned business of racism.
Oberlin said in a press release that it was awaiting payment information from the Gibson family, which sued the university after it nearly destroyed their business with the racism accusations. The payment initiation comes after the Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear Oberlin’s appeal of the damages awarded to the bakery.
“We are disappointed by the Court’s decision. However, this does not diminish our respect for the law and the integrity of our legal system,” the press release said. “This matter has been painful for everyone. We hope that the end of the litigation will begin the healing of our entire community.”
“We value our relationship with the City of Oberlin, and we look forward to continuing our support of and partnership with local businesses as we work together to help our city thrive,” the press release continued.
Previously, Oberlin fought the jury verdict to the bitter end while Gibson’s nearly went out of business. In a court filing, the bakery said the school was continuing to discriminate against the bakery even after the trial vindicated the family.
“The continuing conduct of which the Gibsons have become aware and which has brought the Gibsons to their knees include the following: Oberlin College’s authorized new student tour guides are still being heard to say don’t shop at Gibsons Bakery when the tours pass in front of the store; neither the College, its administrators, nor its professors have resumed any ordering of the Gibson’s products for College events; and notices still denigrating the Gibsons are posted in College buildings for students and their families to see,” the Gibson’s wrote a motion seeking to have the court force the college to pay the damages awarded to the family.
Now that the college has said it has initiated payment, it has revealed how easily it could have paid the $36 million at any time, suggesting the money is a drop in the bucket for the school.
“The size of this verdict is significant. However, our careful financial planning, which includes insurance coverage, means that we can satisfy our legal obligation without impacting our academic and student experience,” the college’s press release said.
In response to the announcement, the Gibson family attorney noted that Oberlin still refuses to acknowledge its wrongdoing.
“With Oberlin’s decision to not pursue any additional appeals, the Gibson Family’s fight is finally over. Truth still matters, and David has overcome Goliath. While Oberlin College has still refused to admit they were wrong, the jury, a unanimous panel from the court of appeals, and a majority of the Ohio Supreme Court decided otherwise. Now, the Gibsons will be able to rebuild the business their family started 137 years ago and keep the lights on for another generation,&#8221; the family&#8217;s attorney said in a statement to The Daily Wire.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/worse-you-think-theres-more-oberlin-story-ashe-schow">reported</a>, several non-white Oberlin students attempted to steal alcohol from Gibson’s, a local bakery with a long history of serving the Oberlin community. A Gibson family member working at the bakery that day chased the students out of the store, where they attacked him. He called the police and the students were arrested, pleaded guilty, and admitted race had nothing to do with the incident.
But other students and faculty accused the bakery of racism and staged protests outside, with Oberlin officials fully endorsing and supporting the protestors’ false narrative. Further, while Oberlin claimed in court the protests were peaceful, some demonstrators entered the bakery and harassed customers, taking pictures of them and making disparaging comments. They also blocked customers from moving down the aisles and slashed the tires of a store employee.
Behind the scenes, Oberlin administrators trashed the bakery and anyone who defended it, calling defenders “idiots” and saying, “F*** them.”
The Gibson&#8217;s home was broken into months after the protests (though it is unclear whether it was related). Business dropped and employees were laid-off. The family was threatened.
Jurors sided with the bakery and awarded $44 million in total damages, an amount that was later reduced to $25 million due to state limits.
“The jury recognized Oberlin College’s bullying tactics. The students admitted their misconduct, but Oberlin College could never admit that they were wrong. They presumed that they could bring the Gibsons to their knees. The power of truth has enabled the Gibson family to survive Oberlin’s onslaught,” the Gibson’s attorneys previously told The Daily Wire.
