BarrettStrehlow:

Jarome Iginla and Marian Hossa were chosen for induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility as a six-member 2020 class was unveiled Wednesday. The two forwards are joined by defensemen Kevin Lowe and Doug Wilson. General manager Ken Holland and women's player Kim St-Pierre will also be enshrined. Iginla will become just the fourth Black inductee into the Hall of Fame. Grant Fuhr and Angela James were inducted for their play, while Willie O'Ree, who broke the NHL's color barrier, was chosen for his contributions. Iginla, who turns 43 on July 1, spent 15 1/2 of his 20 NHL seasons with the Calgary Flames. He recorded 625 goals and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] 675 assists (1,300 points) in 1,554 [http://www.covnews.com/archives/search/?searchthis=regular-season%20games regular-season games] from 1996-97 to 2016-17. "It's extremely special," Iginla said, according to NHL.com. "I had a hard time sleeping the past few nights. Starting my career, I didn't dream of making it to the Hall of Fame. It's a true honor, I've been extremely blessed. It's still sinking in." Hossa was part of three Stanley Cup-winning teams with the Chicago Blackhawks. He scored 1,134 points (525 goals, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 609 assists) in 1,309 games from 1997-98 to 2016-17. His career included eight campaigns with the Blackhawks, seven with the Ottawa Senators, three with the Atlanta Thrashers and one each with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings. "This honor means so much to me," Hossa said in the Hockey Hall of Fame's news announcement. "I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I have learned so much about life through the game of hockey and am very appreciative of this recognition." Lowe was part of six Stanley Cup championship teams, five during a seven-year span with the Edmonton Oilers before he won one with the New York Rangers in 1994. Lowe scored 431 points (84 goals, 347 assists) in 1,254 games from 1979-80 to 1997-98, playing 15 seasons for the Oilers in two stints and four campaigns with the Rangers. "I think I perhaps represent the next level of guys who helped to win championships," Lowe said. "I appreciate that my contributions to the teams I played on are being recognized in this way." Wilson, who is currently the general manager of the San Jose Sharks, spent 14 of his 16 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks and his final two with the Sharks. He scored 827 points (237 goals, 590 assists) in 1,024 games from 1977-78 to 1992-93. "I'm not even a Hall of Famer in my own house, so joining this club means the world to me," Wilson said. "I would like to thank all of the people who have been so good to me in this game." Holland, currently the general manager of the Oilers, was chosen for induction through the builder category. Holland [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] won three Stanley Cup crowns during a 22-year stint (1997-2019) as GM of the Detroit Red Wings. "I am incredibly humbled by this honor," Holland said. "I am in this game because I loved it as a young man and I am happy to have been able to stay in the game." St-Pierre was a star goaltender who helped Canada's women win three Olympic gold medals (2002, 2006, 2010) and five world championship. She had a 1.17 goals-against average and .939 save percentage in her appearances for Team Canada. "Hockey has always been my passion and this is a very special honor," St-Pierre said. "When I was growing up it was only boys, and when that changed my dream was able to come (true)." St-Pierre is the eighth women's player named to the Hall of Fame. She is the first female goalie. "The Hockey Hall of Fame is proud to welcome these hockey legends as Honored Members," Hockey Hall of Fame chairman Lanny McDonald said in the news release. "Their contributions to the game of hockey are well documented and their election to the Hockey Hall of Fame is richly deserved." The inductions are currently scheduled for Nov. 16, but the date could change depending on the coronavirus pandemic. --Field Level Media

Disney s Wrestling With Its Racist History On Disney Plus

Cd637/Wikipedia Disneyland's Splash Mountain, a water-based log ride through scenes of cute rabbits, bears and foxes, [/news/disney-to-retheme-splash-mountain-amid-black-lives-matter-push/ is going to be rethemed], thanks to [ several petitions] on Change.org. Activists lobbied for Disney to make over the attraction first launched in California in 1989, because its music, characters and location are all drawn from Disney's racially problematic movie, 1946's Song of the South. The combined live-action and animated musical, set on a southern plantation after the end of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, has been criticized for [ glorifying plantation slavery] and promoting Black stereotypes. CNET Culture Entertain your brain with the coolest news from space to superheroes, memes to robots. While former Disney CEO Bob Iger [ said] in March that Song of the South is "not appropriate in today's world" and would never be on Disney Plus, the film's famous song Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah remains a feature [ of Splash Mountain]. "Some of the songs and the characters are still very much part of the Disney legacy, so it's a very strange situation," says Jessica Balanzategui, a lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology, who specializes in childhood, history and national identity in global film and TV. 1946's Song of the South with Br'er Rabbit and Uncle Remus. Disney "A lot of us would be familiar with some of those characters and some of the popular songs without ever having seen the original film," Balanzategui said. In the current moment, where the fight for racial justice and the dismantlement of systemic racism has reverberated through the media, some companies have taken steps toward change, including alerting audiences to prejudiced or racist material in their back catalogue. On Sunday, UK pay TV broadcaster Sky [ added] a disclaimer to the original 1941 Dumbo, the original 1967 The Jungle Book, the original 1992 Aladdin and around a dozen more films.

"We failed to put the disclaimer in there which basically sets up the issues that this movie really brings up," WarnerMedia chairman Bob Greenblatt [ said]. "We took it off and we're going to bring it back with the proper context. It's what we should have done. I don't regret taking it down for a second. I only wish we had put it up in the first place with the disclaimer. And, you know, we just didn't do that." The remnants of Disney's murky history have long been the subject of debate. In the inception of Splash Mountain, Disney [ altered] a "Tar-Baby" scene from the movie for the ride, given its racist associations. The movie's African American character Uncle Remus who tells tales about the animal characters also doesn't appear, except for his thoughts and sayings on signs throughout the queue. Still, Disney has been [ criticized] for being too lighthanded with addressing problematic representations in its movies from the '30s, '40s, '50s and even up to the [ '90s], ramping up at the end of last year around Disney Plus' launch. The streaming platform arrived with disclaimers bookending the descriptions of some of its old cartoons, saying, "This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions." The disclaimer on the synopsis of the original Dumbo cartoon. Disney Plus Examples include 1955's Lady and the Tramp, whose Siamese cat characters have been criticized for [ channeling Asian stereotypes]; 1941's Dumbo, featuring a crow character called [ Jim Crow] and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] others who speak [ using jive-like speech patterns]; and 1994's The Lion King, whose hyenas have been interpreted as symbolizing [ racial minorities]. While HBO Max and Sky aren't targeted at children, Disney Plus is designed to be a family-friendly hub. Some argue that when Disney Plus launched in November, the company could have done more to address the context of its older films for the children watching them. "It is tricky," Balanzategui says, when it comes to the Disney Plus disclaimers. "Disney could have used stronger language which would more proactively invite a conversation around the context of these caricatures." Disney didn't respond to a request for comment. Children parked in front of a TV.

Some worry this is problematic for children who are dropped in front of cartoons with "outdated depictions," because they could imbibe certain prejudices. "These shouldn't be watched by children by themselves," says Daryl Sparkes, senior lecturer of media studies and production at the University of Southern Queensland, "because children are like little sponges and they soak up attitudes and feelings and opinions." A possible scenario when children watch older cartoons on Disney Plus is they don't notice the disclaimer at all. These messages appear only in the movie's description, not as a separate tag inside the movie window. It could just as easily go unnoticed by parents as well. Since children aren't yet able to spot questionable cultural stereotypes, they shouldn't watch the Disney cartoons alone, Sparkes says. Parents should pull up a pillow and watch alongside them, explaining how once upon a time that was how people used to think. "That becomes a real educational value for the kids themselves, because they're able to go, 'OK, this is what happened back then, but we're not like that anymore and these are the reasons why.'" The Disney legacy Warner Brothers has [ censored] many of its racially offensive cartoons from as far back as the '30s and, in 2014, added a [ content warning] to the beginning of old Looney Tunes cartoons like Tom and Jerry on streaming platforms, using far stronger language than Disney, admitting they "may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society.

"Editing out these problematic depictions isn't the right way to go." Editing the material would be the equivalent of erasure of Disney and North America's troubling histories, Balanzategui says. These movies are artifacts of a shared animation and cultural history. "We don't want to just edit out the confronting parts and pretend they never existed."

That's where conversations about problematic stereotypes can help children establish context around troubling representations, Balanzategui says. Parents may even be able to spark curiosity in their children about the historical context of the media they're watching. Children could learn to see entertainment as part of a wider network of cultural and historical influences. Some kids, however, are simply too young to have these conversations. "This is when parents should be really careful about the kind of content that their children are watching," Balanzategui says. While Disney buried much of the controversy around Song of the South from modern audiences, it has [ responded] to calls to revisit attractions at Disneyland before. Disney removed a scene from the immensely popular Pirates of the Carribean ride that showed brides up for auction and renamed a ride called the Indian War Canoes and a hotel called Disney's Dixie Landings Resort. While the successful petitions -- [ one] of which has over 20,000 signatures -- around Splash Mountain spurred change, the many parents stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic might want to keep an even closer eye on what their kids are watching. Disney Plus' disclaimers are easy to miss and in a moment where many are doing their homework on the past and the injustices and inequalities of the present, it's a good time to notice them.

US Police Registry Would Fail Without Changes In States

2020-07-19T17:57:57Z

BarrettStrehlow:

HOUSTON (AP) - Without major changes in almost every state, a national police misconduct database like what the White House and Congress have proposed after George Floyd's death would fail to account for thousands of problem officers. Lawmakers nationwide are struggling with how to reform policing following massive demonstrations, increased calls for change and a stark shift in public opinion on the topic. Democrats want to create a policing registry that would catalog disciplinary records, firings and misconduct complaints; President Donald Trump's executive order calls on the attorney general to create a "database to coordinate the sharing of information" between law enforcement agencies. Any eventual registry that emerges would depend on states reporting into it. But states and police departments track misconduct very differently, and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] some states currently don't track it at all. The result is a lack of reliable official data and a patchwork system in which officers can stay employed even after being arrested or convicted of a crime. In the wake of Floyd's death, lawmakers in several states have proposed bolstering their states' powers to identify and remove problem officers. "I think the politicians have been reluctant to take a step that might be perceived as anti-police," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said. Yost and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, both Republicans, have proposed giving their state´s police licensing agency the power to remove officers from law enforcement for racial profiling or other misconduct that doesn´t lead to a criminal charge, a power many states already have.

Without major changes in almost every state, a national police misconduct database like what the White House and Congress have proposed after George Floyd's death would fail to account for thousands of problem officers. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin File) "The potential for reform is better than it´s been in my professional lifetime," Yost said. "That doesn´t mean it´s a certainty on how much we´re going to get, but there´s a genuine interest and willingness to look at these things seriously and honestly." One measure of police misconduct at a state level is decertification. Almost all states issue licenses to police officers by mandating standards and training. Most states can decertify an officer´s license to prevent a bad one from working in law enforcement. The Associated Press this month asked all 50 states to provide the number of officers they decertified for the last five full years. Georgia said it decertified 3,239 officers between 2015 and 2019. Minnesota, where Floyd died after a white police officer pressed a knee on his neck for several minutes, decertified 21. Maryland decertified just one officer. Minnesota revokes an officer´s license automatically only after the officer is convicted of a felony. Georgia can take an officer´s license on several grounds, including misuse of force, committing a theft that isn´t prosecuted or lying in an internal investigation. The suburban Minneapolis police officer who killed Philando Castile, a Black man, during a 2016 traffic stop was never decertified. The officer, Jeronimo Yanez, was acquitted of second-degree manslaughter and later left his department under a settlement. He is not working in law enforcement elsewhere in Minnesota, according to the state licensing board. A federal requirement to collect police misconduct data already exists. According to criminal justice experts, the Justice Department has never met a requirement in the landmark 1994 crime bill - signed by then-President Bill Clinton, a Democrat - that it would "acquire data about the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers" and publish an annual summary. Then-President Barack Obama created a task force on policing that in 2015 recommended the creation of a police misconduct registry, but no action was taken. And the outlook for a policing bill is newly uncertain after Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked a Republican proposal from moving forward. The House approved a far-reaching police overhaul from Democrats on Thursday, but it has almost zero chance of becoming law. In the meantime, the most complete information on officer shootings, sexual assaults and arrests has been compiled by university researchers and news organizations. In 2015, The Associated Press found that nearly 1,000 officers had been decertified across the country over six years for sexual assault or other forms of sexual misconduct. The AP's investigation uncovered examples of officers who were accused of sexual misconduct at one agency, fired or allowed to resign, then rehired in law enforcement and accused of misconduct again. Five states - California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island - have no decertification process at all. Neither does the federal government for most of its estimated 130,000 law enforcement officers, including agents in the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Border Patrol. The Department of Justice declined to comment on how it would implement Trump's executive order. For now, states voluntarily submit the names of officers to a private database called the National Decertification Index that police agencies can use in hiring. But Georgia doesn't submit names to the index because it is "not a governmental institution," according to Ryan Powell, deputy director of the state's standards board. Meanwhile, Minnesota and almost all other states do. The index was created and updated with Department of Justice grant funding but last received federal money in 2005, said Mike Becar, director of the organization that runs the index. He runs the database on roughly $1,000 a month. "The federal government could apply a lot more pressure," Becar said. "The biggest hurdle is the 50 states with their own individual laws and regulations and legislatures."

Young Americans Turn Out To Protest. Democrats Hope They Will Vote ...

By Michael Martina and John Whitesides June 26 (Reuters) - Quintez Brown took to the streets in Kentucky to join many Americans in protesting against racial injustice after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in police custody last month. The 19-year-old student at the University of Louisville, who is Black, also texted voters in support of Charles Booker, a Black Democratic state lawmaker running for the U.S. Senate. "The protests showed the importance of having someone in a political office who can actually advocate for us and make a change," Brown said, adding it was his first time working on a political campaign. The uprising after Floyd's death under the knee of a white police officer on May 25 has helped fuel a groundswell of political energy, spurring new voter registrations, record turnout in Georgia and Kentucky primaries and a string of victories for a younger generation of candidates of color in Tuesday's elections. Democrats hope the enthusiasm can be sustained until the Nov. 3 general election, when former Vice President Joe Biden will challenge Republican President Donald Trump in a race that could hinge on the turnout of voters of color and young people. Biden, whose foundering campaign was rescued by mostly older Black voters in South Carolina's primary in February, wants their strong support against Trump. It will be crucial in battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, particularly after the first dip in Black voter turnout in 20 years contributed to Democrat Hillary Clinton's loss to Trump in 2016. Biden also hopes to boost turnout among young voters, who often participate at [https://www.sportsblog.com/search?search=lower%20rates lower rates] than other ages. In 2016, voters between 18 and 29 had a turnout of just 46%, compared to 71% for those 65 years and older, Census figures show. That figure dropped from 2008's historic election, when younger voters had a 51% turnout. "There is not a part of the Democratic electorate that is not activated right now. And that energy is going to spill over into the general election," said Matt Erwin, a Kentucky-based Democratic strategist. Some groups that work to register voters have seen signs of that energy. Voto Latino, which looks to boost turnout for young Hispanics, said it has registered 94,513 voters so far in June, compared to 10,548 voters in May. About 78% of new registrants were between the ages of 18 and 34, the group said. Rock the Vote, which works to boost the political power of young people, said it had more than 183,000 new registrations so far in June. Four years ago this month, it had fewer than 35,000. Jesse Moore, a Rock the Vote board member, said a new generation of voters is asking about their district attorneys and police chiefs. "People are jaded about the presidency, but the changes they are demanding are almost completely driven by local officials," Moore said. Whether that energy will transform into Biden support remains to be seen. He is considering a Black running mate and has backed police reforms, including a ban on chokeholds. Biden was also criticized during the Democratic primary campaign for his role as a U.S. senator in writing the 1994 crime bill, which critics say led to high incarceration rates that unfairly hit minorities, and some activists have pushed him to offer a broader criminal justice plan in the wake of the protests. "Up-ballot candidates can benefit from this energy and movement, but only if they align themselves with what the movement has demanded - bold change," said Victoria Burton-Harris, a Black Democrat who is running for prosecutor in Wayne County, Michigan, an important battleground state. Still, Democrats are hopeful that rising political activism from young and minority voters will help Biden. According to a June 10-16 Reuters/Ipsos poll, Biden led Trump by 58 percentage points among African Americans, 23 points among Hispanics, and 20 points among people between 18-34 years of age. Nationally, he had a 13-point lead over Trump, the poll showed. "I think they are looking for someone who is going to hear them, but also who is going to exhibit the leadership they want at this moment. We would argue that´s Joe Biden," said Symone Sanders, a senior Biden campaign adviser. Courtney Parella, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, said Biden was "trying to avoid an examination of his nearly five-decade long political career, a record that undoubtably failed to support minority communities and is now failing to defend our men and women in blue." RECORD TURNOUT Democrats have been heartened by strong turnout in Georgia's June 9 elections, where the party broke the primary record set in 2008 despite a host of problems with voting machines, fewer polling places and long lines. Kentucky's elections on Tuesday also set a primary turnout record, helped by a competitive race between Booker and well-funded establishment favorite Amy McGrath for the right to challenge Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell in November. The race is too close to call with absentee ballots pending. A wave of other young candidates of color have scored primary victories this year. In New York, Jamaal Bowman, a Black school principal running in his first political campaign, beat 31-year veteran Democratic Representative Eliot Engel on Tuesday. "People finally understand that if we want to change the laws, we have to change the lawmakers," said Quentin James, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ] founder of the Collective PAC, a group working for the election of progressive Black officials.

"It was like the alarm was going off and you couldn't press snooze no matter what," Arthur said. "I went from beating that racial justice drum by myself to being in a marching band."
