https://blazingcatfur.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Google-Keffiyeh.png">



A group of "Jewish and allied" Google employees on Wednesday called on the tech giant to terminate its contracts with the Israel Defense Forces and formally condemn Israel.



In a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, 250 members of the Jewish Diaspora in Tech group called on the company to "heed the requests framed by Palestinian Googlers and center their voices going forward." The letter also asks Google to fund Palestinian relief organizations, "recognize the pain" of Palestinians in a formal statement, and "reject any definition of antisemitism that holds that criticism of Israel or Zionism is antisemitic."

Few gigantic corporations are as woke as Google.

Tom Hanks dogged for insufficiently anti-racist film career: 'He's built a career playing righteous white men'

https://www.theblaze.com/news/tom-hanks-indirectly-racist-career?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210614Trending-KevinHart&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News">https://www.theblaze.com/news/tom-hanks ... ing%20News">https://www.theblaze.com/news/tom-hanks-indirectly-racist-career?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20210614Trending-KevinHart&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Breaking%20News



To be "non-racist" is simply not enough, the argument goes. Citizens, especially prominent ones, must be "anti-racist" if they are to be a benevolent force against America's systemic racism, both past and present. If they fail to demonstrate sufficient anti-racism, they are to be cast aside as something of a foe to the movement.



The latest victim of such an impossible standard appears to have been massively famous actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks.



the actor was dogged by NPR entertainment critic Eric Deggans for not doing enough, especially considering his supposed role in perpetuating white supremacy through his artistic endeavors.



"He's built a career playing righteous white men," Deggans wrote in his own op-ed for NPR over the weekend before going on to suggest that Hanks, like many other prominent white public figures, is "personally and specifically connected to the elevation of white culture over other cultures."



Over the years, [Hanks] has starred in a lot of big movies about historical events, including Saving Private Ryan, Greyhound, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Bridge of Spies and News of the World. He has served as a producer or executive producer on even more films and TV shows based on American history, including Band of Brothers, The Pacific, John Adams and From the Earth to the Moon. He was an executive producer of documentaries such as The Assassination of President Kennedy and The Sixties on CNN.



In other words, he is a baby boomer star who has built a sizable part of his career on stories about American white men Doing the Right Thing. He even plays a former Confederate soldier in one of his latest films, News of the World, standing up for a blond, white girl who had been kidnapped and raised by a Native American tribe.

Liberal music composer's career destroyed and he contemplated suicide after he was branded a 'white supremacist piece of garbage' for being against arson

https://www.theblaze.com/news/liberal-composer-canceled-arson-post?utm_source=theblaze-dailyPM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily-Newsletter__PM%202021-06-17&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%20TheBlaze%20Daily%20PM">https://www.theblaze.com/news/liberal-c ...

A music composer, who is a liberal, was branded a "racist" and a "white supremacist piece of garbage" by woke critics because he spoke out against arson on social media. The cancel culture mob has reportedly been successful at destroying the musician's professional career for the crime of tactfully pointing out that violent riots are self-defeating.



Daniel Elder is a 34-year-old composer based in Nashville, who won the Abbey Road Studios Anthem Competition in 2011 for his debut commercial album, "The Heart's Reflection." Elder claims that he has been blackballed by his publisher and choral directors refuse to work with him over potential backlash from a post he made on social media over a year ago.



On his professional Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages, Elder wrote, "Enjoy burning it all down, you well-intentioned, blind people. I'm done."



Elder, who had always considered himself center-left, received a tidal wave of hate from progressives over his post against burning down the city of Nashville. He was called a "racist" and a "white supremacist piece of garbage" by the outrage mob, despite Elder supporting police reform and opposing racism.



"I am a choir director and department head for the music department for a private school in Ohio," one commenter demanded. "I want to inform you that your rhetoric surrounding the recent protests is unacceptable and my school will not be programming your music unless and until a public apology is issued."



Some people who enjoyed Elder's music vowed that they would never listen to it ever again.



"I've relatively recently become aware of your work and have enjoyed your compositions for their sensitivity and artistry," a former fan wrote. "However, after learning of your insensitive comments on social media, however perceived as misunderstood, I've decided to unsubscribe from your [YouTube] channel and will no longer recommend your compositions to colleagues."



Within 24 hours, the blowback from the seemingly innocuous post reached Elder's publisher – GIA Publications, which is one of the biggest publishers of hymnals and religious music, plus it is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. On the morning of June 1, GIA president Alec Harris and media editor Susan LaBarr contacted Elder about issuing an apology over his social media post.



The company had already crafted an apology for Elder, which reads:



Over the weekend I made a post on my social media accounts that was insensitive and wrongly-worded. I deeply apologize for the anger, offense, and harm that this post caused. While this offense was not intended, it is what was created. For this I am truly sorry.



There is no justification that I can offer for my post. So, rather than try to offer an excuse for what was done, I offer a promise for what I will do going forward. I commit to making amends and to dialogue. I commit to continue educating myself about privilege and bias. I commit to continue seeking an understanding of the experience of others, especially the Black community. I know that working for justice requires that we each first act justly. My work begins now.



LaBarr allegedly told Elder that while "we know that you write music that promotes social justice," this was not clear to people who had read the Instagram post.
