Two members of Detroit’s Reparations Task Force — including one of the co-chairs — stepped down last weekend‚ citing their growing frustration over the “lack of progress” and a missing “broad strategic vision” less than a year after the group was formed.  Co-chair Lauren Hood said she and task force member Maurice Weeks had been thinking about stepping down for months as the group lobbied Detroit’s City Council for help‚ The Detroit News reported. Both Hood and Weeks resigned during the task force’s meeting on Saturday‚ which was the group’s first public meeting since August.  “I think‚ collectively‚ that group of people has different ideas about what reparations is fundamentally and we didn’t get to a place where we had a broad strategic vision‚” Hood said. “I’m happy that we’re now getting things done. We’ve got some partners who can help us organize existing information that will help make decisions‚ but we also still desperately need a strategy for how we engage the public around this work.” The Reparations Task Force was launched in April of last year and is assigned with formulating housing and economic development recommendations that address “historical discrimination” against Detroit’s black community‚ according to the city. Hood said that she was frustrated with the lack of meetings and opportunities for the public to hear about the task force’s work.  “We haven’t had a public meeting in a few months so the impetus was there just because we had a public opportunity to let folks know what was happening‚” Hood said. “We had some concerns at the last meeting that we had and nothing really changed. So it’s just like‚ how long do you stay the course when you don’t see anything changing?” Cities across the country‚ and even the state of California‚ put together task forces in a renewed push for reparations which came in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the ensuing demonstrations and riots in 2020. California lawmakers are expected to look into recommendations from the state’s Reparations Task Force after it approved a plan that suggested paying up to $1.2 million to black residents who descended from slaves or free African Americans who lived in the U.S. before 1900.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP As for Detroit‚ voters who overwhelmingly approved the Reparations Task Force two years ago will have to wait to see if the group comes up with any plan. The task force was given a $350‚000 budget and has 18 months to submit a written report to the city council on its findings and recommendations‚ according to The Detroit News. The once-13-member board is now down to 10 members following Hood and Week’s departure and the death of Rev. JoAnn Watson in July.  “The work we do on ourselves‚ the work we do with each other as humans first is part of the process of repair internally that needs to happen before we try to design this thing‚ externally and citywide‚” said Hood. “And it just didn’t seem like everybody was on the same page about that.”

The University of Minnesota is instructing students on how to be “anti-racists” through its public health department‚ according to training material obtained by The Daily Wire through an open records request. The public university is putting students through “Anti Racism 101‚” the records show‚ with the School of Public Health instructing students that “racism” is the combination of “prejudice” with “power‚” and “a system of advantages based on race‚” rather than simply hatred or prejudice against someone because of their race. It also claims that there are four different types of racism‚ including “internalized‚” “interpersonal‚” “systemic‚” and “institutional.” The slideshow presentation also included a video on “white fragility” that claims “racism is the status quo” of “all white settler colonialist societies” and features Critical Race Theorist Robin DiAngelo‚ who coined the term and uses it to describe “a type of everyday white racial control.” That was all included in a November 9 workshop which began with a land acknowledgment‚ apologizing that‚ “The School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities — and‚ in fact‚ most of our homes — are situated on the ancestral land of the Dakota people‚” it said. “We acknowledge the ongoing debt that is owed to the Dakota people.” Medical experts say this illustrates how Critical Race Theory is being injected into the realm of public health‚ which needlessly politicizes medicine by labeling racial groups as “oppressors” and “oppressed.” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb‚ a former dean at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine‚ says that the entire idea of “health equity” derived from Critical Race Theory can have dangerous consequences for patients. “The health equity component of Diversity‚ Equity‚ and Inclusion is one of the tactics derived from Critical Race Theory‚” said Dr. Goldfarb‚ who now operates Do No Harm‚ a nonprofit that opposes the politicization of medical care. “‘Health equity’ means that the way to overcome the oppression in the health arena is to guarantee equal outcomes between the oppressor class‚ primarily white males‚ and the oppressed class‚ primarily blacks.” “The problem with this construct is that it denies agency to black individuals and denies free will to white individuals” while erroneously arguing that “disparity of health outcomes is due to the efforts of an oppressor class‚” Dr. Goldfarb explained‚ adding that it will “undermine the physician/patient relationship by emphasizing racial characteristics rather than individual characteristics.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP But the University of Minnesota’s “Anti Racism 102” training even takes the conversation beyond race‚ delving into “Intersectionality and Compounding Oppression‚” listing off “ableism‚” “heterosexism‚” “Islamophobia‚” and even “fatphobia.” It’s followed by a video in which blind people discuss their understandings of racism‚ with one person stating “I am racist‚ because I think every white person is racist” and “I benefit from capitalism‚ which was built on slavery and racism.” A slide in the presentation titled “racism and public health” goes on to claim that racism is a “public health emergency‚” before going on to discuss “antiracism” more broadly‚ seemingly encouraging participants to identify “your own role in racism and racist systems” and to create “race conscious/equity focused policies and practices.” A separate training for the broader university‚ titled “Teaching and Learning at a Predominantly White Institution” and held on October 27th‚ warned that “colorblindness” and “objectivity” are assumptions of “whiteness.” It also defined predominantly white institutions as a school where the majority of students are white‚ as well as an environment where “embedded institutional practices that are based in whiteness.” A slide on intersectionality calls the concept “a theory of multiple marginalization drawn from the experiences and expertise of women of color.” A representative of the University of Minnesota told The Daily Wire that the training sessions are voluntary‚ and that “views and perspectives expressed in educational settings on campus are not necessarily those of the institution.” But the University of Minnesota has a history of pushing the DEI agenda in its academic curriculum‚ research opportunities‚ and training sessions‚ both in the School of Public Health and throughout the university. The School of Public Health also has a Health Equity minor where graduate students can “specialize in studying health disparities and inequalities‚” as well as the “structural factors that cause health inequalities.” Enrollment in the program has consistently spiked since 2020‚ surging from 11 to 26 students. While students are being taught about health disparities through the lens of Critical Race Theory and health equity‚ Goldfarb contends that “Virtually all the studies of health disparities attribute a component to racism without providing any specific evidence to support those contentions.” “The evidence for these assertions however is simply not there‚” Goldfarb stated‚ pointing out that the origin of health disparities is “much more complex than simply the results of poor housing or bias on the part of physicians‚” ranging from “behavioral factors such as smoking‚ alcohol use‚ diets leading to obesity‚ and failure to access available health services” to “certain genetic determinants of health outcomes.” Meanwhile‚ the School of Public Health appears to have adopted the “antiracism” agenda wholesale‚ publishing a “Strategic Plan for Antiracism” that seeks to “create an actionable plan grounded in our deep commitment to social justice” with a “specific antiracist focus that centers the experiences of Black‚ Indigenous‚ and people of color.” It goes on to state “BIPOC groups are forced to assimilate and navigate a system that centers whiteness‚” also arguing‚ “consistent‚ tireless antiracism is and must always be the foundation of our DEI work.” But the institution has also injected Critical Race Theory throughout the broader university community. The University of Minnesota was even hit with a civil rights complaint earlier this year over a “multicultural” research program that offered applicants a $6‚000 stipend and was open to those “who identify as a student of color of Native American” but not white students. The university’s School of Social Work also hosted a webinar series on “deconstructing and decentralizing whiteness‚” complete with a 12-step program on “Recovery from White Conditioning.” “We admitted that we had been socially conditioned by the ideology of white supremacy‚” one of the steps reads‚ while another states. “We committed ourselves to ongoing study of our racial biases‚ conscious or unconscious‚ and our maladaptive patterns of white supremacist thinking.”

An actor featured in the DailyWire+ comedy “Lady Ballers” was arrested following the premiere in Nashville last week for charges related to his presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6‚ 2021. Federal authorities arrested Siaka Massaquoi on November 30 after he and his wife‚ Charlotte‚ arrived back in California following the showing‚ according to a legal defense fundraiser set up in his name. “Upon their arrival‚ Siaka was separated from his wife and abruptly arrested by the FBI‚” according to the fundraising page. “At the time‚ Charlotte was told the charges had to do with January 6th; however‚ she was not presented with any arrest warrant.” Massaquoi‚ who appeared in the new comedy from The Daily Wire‚ was taken to the Monterey Park Jail‚ where he stayed overnight after being charged with four misdemeanors in connection to January 6‚ according to the fundraiser page. Three years ago‚ approximately 20 FBI agents dressed in tactical gear raided Massaquoi’s North Hollywood home just before 6 a.m. on a Thursday — about six months after that infamous day in 2021‚ according to The Los Angeles Times. Video footage from the Capitol breach posted by StopHate‚ a Texas-based activist group‚ claims to show Massaquoi inside the Capitol building. “He was at the threshold of the door for maybe a minute‚ &; even helping the police direct the flow of foot traffic out the door. Crime?” the group wrote in a December 2 post. Massaquoi reposted the group’s video on his X account. “Witness why I was raided 2 years ago and recently arrested and charged Nov 30th 2023 almost 3 years later‚” he said. Witness why I was raided 2 years ago and recently arrested and charged Nov 30th 2023 almost 3 years later https://t.co/0YH97WqftF — Siaka Massaquoi (@_SiakaMassaquoi) December 2‚ 2023 Massaquoi also starred in The Babylon Bee’s “Californians Move to Texas” series. Seth Dillon‚ CEO of the satire website‚ called Massaquoi’s arrest “political persecution.” “If you’ve watched our Californians Move to Texas series‚ then you’re already familiar with Siaka. You know how funny and talented he is‚” Dillon wrote in an X-post. “But he isn’t just a talented actor and friend of the Babylon Bee; he also happens to be a Trump supporter. And he’s being punished for it by our government.” In a Monday post‚ Dillon posted the arrest warrant presented to Massaquoi‚ revealing charges including knowingly entering a restricted building‚ and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building. Here's the arrest warrant containing the charges brought against @_SiakaMassaquoi. He has a hearing scheduled for this Thursday morning (10 am) at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/Z0wlUs83Fl — Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) December 5‚ 2023 Although authorities never charged Massaquoi‚ the fundraiser’s page said that the family has “feared that this day might come‚ in which the government would charge him for something he didn’t do‚” adding the actor has been “scrutinized at airports for several years.” The fundraiser for Massaquoi has raised nearly $40‚000 of its $115‚000 goal to cover the legal expenses. The campaign page also requested to keep the family in prayer support as the couple is expecting their first child. According to podcast host Lori Mills‚ authorities arraigned Massaquoi on Friday and released him with conditions. “This judge was fair. Preliminary trial next week‚” she wrote in an X-post. “We are praying it gets thrown out as DC wants the case.” Yes. He was arraigned yesterday and released with conditions. This judge was fair. Preliminary trial next week. We are praying it gets thrown out as DC wants the case. There is a go fund me. We were all there and stood with him. Love him and Char so much. His Jesus Saves… pic.twitter.com/gBhK3RUoM3 — Lori Mills (@LoriMills4CA42) December 2‚ 2023 Massaquoi — an actor who has landed parts in shows like “S.W.A.T‚” “NCIS: Los Angeles‚” and “Lethal Weapon” — also appeared as Duece Johnson in The Daily Wire’s first-ever feature-length comedy “Lady Ballers.” The film’s director and co-founder of The Daily Wire‚ Jeremy Boreing‚ spoke out in defense of Massaquoi. “Siaka is a good man and a huge talent‚” Boreing said in an X-post. “The FBI arresting a man at the airport three years after the event – and after raiding his house and not charging him already – and then only charging him with misdemeanors is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Federal authorities arrested Massaquoi more than two months after he filed a group lawsuit against the FBI‚ Bureau Director Christopher Wray‚ the Department of Justice‚ and Attorney General Merrick Garland. According to the lawsuit filed in a district court in Florida on September 20‚ the plaintiffs requested the court to certify the legal challenge as a class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals “who were peacefully protesting in Washington‚ D.C. on January 6‚ 2021‚ but who did not commit any felonies or engage in any violence‚ but have been subjected to unconstitutional‚ illegal surveillance by Defendant Wray and his agents in the aftermath.” “While there were a few people who chose to enter and engage in acts of violence in the U.S. Capitol‚ Plaintiffs were not among those involved in any such conduct‚” the lawsuit said. “All Plaintiffs did was exercise their right to peacefully assemble and protest under the Constitution.” The Department of Justice has reportedly charged more than 1‚069 individuals from nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia in connection to January 6. A spokesperson with the FBI declined to comment when contacted by The Daily Wire.
