Do I need to care about this?

Why is this topic four pages long? Was there really that much to say on it...?

You cared enough to post in it.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/black-author-shocked-book-publisher-124743305.html

Ash Cash Exantus, an African American author from Harlem, N.Y., and one of the top financial educators in the country, was completely caught off guard when he learned from a shocking Instagram video that one of his customers received a copy of his book with a photo of Adolf Hitler inside and Nazi symbols printed on every page.

The memoir, entitled From The Block to The Bank: How to Make the Most of Your Circumstance to Maximize Your Full Potential, was apparently misprinted by the publisher, Lulu Direct, with the correct book cover but the wrong book inside.

Ash Cash says that he was speechless when the customer sent him the video which has since gone viral. He comments, I am a respected scholar and educator that promotes Black entrepreneurship and Black excellence. It is a hurtful slap in the face that my book somehow got confused with another book promoting Hitlers teachings and philosophies.

Lulu Direct touts itself as a self-publishing solution that enables authors, creators, businesses, and publishers to take advantage of direct-to-consumer sales, combined with the ease and flexibility of print-on-demand. But Ash Cash says that what has recently happened is an unaccepted nightmare.

He comments, I dont even believe that this happened by accident. I think it was intentional because I just cant understand how one of the countrys largest publishers of independent books could make the mistake of inserting racist material about a man notorious for destroying and exterminating humanity into my book.

Ash Cash is more than a personal finance expert. He is a financial motivator best known for his culturally responsive approach to teaching financial literacy to the Black community. His gift is helping people maximize their full potential by giving them the inspiration, tools, and resources needed to live their best lives. A four-time best-selling author, his new memoir, From The Block To The Bank, is a true story of how a young man born into a low-income family used his circumstances to change the trajectory of his family and community.

The book was written to encourage individuals that feel like options are limited to believe that it is their current circumstances that make their options unlimited. For years now, Ash Cash has been a prominent advocate on a mission to bridge the wealth gap by teaching economic empowerment and financial literacy to marginalized communities.

Ash Cash is hoping that his followers will continue to buy and support his book but he is advising them to just buy it on Amazon instead to make sure they dont get one of the misprinted, insulting copies.

Who hires a teenager with a history of leaking stuff?

What was the point of leaking the game anyway? For internet clout?

Who are you more likely to trust with your life?

Just ask a classmate for a summary of it. Your brain will turn to mush if you listen to Joe Rogan. Also, is your instructor a Republican?

Peter is too chatty and obnoxious.

If she had had the same skin color as Ariel, Im sure that people would have complained.

Ursula had light purple skin.

Comparing a mainstream movie with a stage play seems very disingenuous. Most people probably have never heard of the Little Mermaid stage play.

The stage play was shown on TV and shared via YouTube, so you can't say not many people were exposed to it online.

If racists are going to whine about Ariel being portrayed by a Black actress, then they need to explain why they were somehow okay with Queen Latifah playing as Ursula in the live-action play.

They put their pride into fights that don't exist. How do you humble that?

Their obsession with the culture wars is only going to hurt them in the long run. Look how they dealt with COVID.

Theyre hormones, not vaccines. Not something a kid should be DIYing.

If she really wanted to help kids, going behind their parents back is not the noble cause you think it is.

Unfortunately, not all parents are absolute saints. Some can be downright abusive or even murderous if one of their own comes out.

Which type of Mermaid are we talking?
Matsygan, Japanese Ningyo or Europe Mermaid?

European mermaid in this case.

This is what happens when younger voters don't take their civic duty seriously enough. So many didn't bother to vote in the Virginia elections and this is the result.

Not to mention that religion held back medical advancements for hundreds of years. In the middle ages, it was illegal to dissect the human body without approval from religious leaders. So no life saving surgeries or autopsies after death to figure out what happened to them.

Goes to show that progress can only happen by defying religious authorities outright.

I'd say that sounds good, then. If Martha's Vineyard is well equipped to help 1,000 people, why not? Are they willing and able to?

Do you have a problem with it if they do?

Houston posted...

Very good point. Martha Vineyard residents are helping out, like people should do. But if more people continue to arrive in Martha Vineyard, would it become problematic? How many people can Martha Vineyard handle without attempting to relocate them somewhere else?

It's not going to be a lot unless DeSantis wants to piss off voters by wasting millions of dollars: https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-ron-desantis-flying-migrants-martha-vineyard-cost-12m-1743291

How does this not qualify as Human Trafficking on DeSantis' part?

Because the FBI won't arrest any higher-up with the magic R for some reason.

One of those tweets is very much not like the others...

It's a negative example to show what conservatives typically think about Martha's Vineyard helping the migrants.

The problem with evil people like DeSantis is that they can't comprehend or anticipate actual human kindness and compassion.

Wow, looks like we're having another much-needed downpour this evening.

It's Florida. What did people expect from that place?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-teacher-florida-christian-school-144113423.html

A former teacher at a private Christian school in Florida was arrested on Tuesday after she was accused of dancing against an underaged student.

Julie Kinsey Hoover, 39, who at the time of the incident was employed as a teacher at Point of Grace Christian School in Perry, Florida, was arrested on Tuesday after she engaged in lewd conduct with a 17-year-old student during a school prom in April, according to police, WCTV reported

According to the local news outlet, a student told investigators that Hoover was "twerking" on the underaged student when he was on or near the dance floor of the room.

Two people who attended the prom told investigators that they got in between Hoover and the student several times in an attempt to get the former teacher to stop, WCTV reported.

According to NBC, the student who attended the Prom told investigators that Hoover also pressured him to drink alcohol and forced him to drink from her cup.

"The former student informed the investigator that at the prom, Ms. Hoover pressured him to drink alcoholic beverages and multiple times put the straw from an alcoholic drink in his mouth," police told NBC.

Point of Grace told WFLA that the staff kept alcohol in the back for themselves for after Prom when the students left.

According to WCTV, Hoover was also arrested last year in June after the mother of an 18-year-old senior said the former teacher to police sexted her son.

The mother told police that Hoover was arranging for the student to come to her home while her husband was at work, WCTV reported citing court documents.
