Official 2021 Chattanooga Spring Football, Who's laughing now? thread

[pike51]

In honor of Chattownmocs... I am bringing back this yearly gem of a thread and in his own words:

This will be the thread that we go to throughout the year. Rather than laughing at all of the victims individually with new threads, we will keep it all here. This season is several years in the works and finally seeing it all pay off at the expense of all the haters will be fulfilling.



I miss that dude!!

Do you realize how much publicity the school and the program got from this? You can't pay for this amount of free advertisement!! This is almost better than hosting the FCS Championship game for all those years!

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) is kicking off their spring semester focus on social justice with a discussion of “white allyship” and accountability. The virtual session (https://blog.utc.edu/news/2021/01/white-allies-and-accountability-moc-forward-returns-jan-28/), titled, “Moving Forward Together: White Allies and Accountability,” is part of Moving Our Campus (MOC) Forward, a series of events and talks focused on equity and inclusion. Facilitators mentioned that this first session falls within the overarching theme for their 2020-2021 schedule: dismantling racism.
The event host, Dr. Beth Douthirt-Cohen, is a facilitator at the Social Justice Training Institute (SJTI (https://sjti.org/about-us)) and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Executive Director at Frederick Community College.
The Tennessee Star reached out to Douthirt-Cohen to inquire about the meaning of “white ally” and the forms of accountability that would be discussed in their seminar. Douthirt-Cohen didn’t respond by press time. Spokespersons with the Diversity and Equity Inclusion Office didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time, either.
According to a variety academia (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/antiracismresources/files/whiteallytoolkitworkbook-advancededition.pdf) echelons (https://diversity.wisc.edu/resources-for-white-allies/), white allies (https://guides.library.unlv.edu/c.php?g=604186&p=4187428) are those who acknowledge the inherent privilege of their race and role within the alleged ongoing oppression against other races, especially Black people. Even if a White person doesn’t believe they are racist, they likely are guilty of “unconscious racism,” commit “microaggressions,” and harbor “implicit biases,” to name a few indiscretions.

This will certainly bring the campus together....xthumbsdownx

Just about every school is having these type of programs. They generally are poorly attended and ignored by most of the student body, but it makes the schools feel like they are doing something progressive.
