Race Issues

Once again, we’re back to discussing everyone’s least favorite TV topic: racial justice. This time, Amazon Prime offers its take on the subject through Steve McQueen's (12 Years a Slave) anthology series Small Axe. Although the first episode in the anthology, Mangrove, is based on a real event in 1970 in London, it didn’t take long for people to pretend it relates to…

When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that excuse while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning. But give Eddie Glaude credit. The frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse. Critics of Wright's damnation…

For purposes of encouraging people not to congregate for Thanksgiving, MSNBC trashes the holiday. AM Joy guest host Jason Johnson says, "I know in my family, I know several people who call it "Colonizer Christmas," because they don't really like the idea of what Thanksgiving represents." And MSNBC contributor and New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb says that "anthropological research suggests" that…

Do they want cops dead? It might sound like a hyperbolic question but when there’s a video of a car accelerating towards sheriff’s deputies and NBC Nightly News was upset they killed the driver behind the wheel, it becomes a valid question. Especially when they’re using the incident to push a race-baiting agenda and trying to defund the police.

Resentment is a powerful emotion. It can choke off reason and poison even moments of triumph. And it plays hell with self-awareness -- just look at the November 18th Washington Post “perspective” piece (oh the irony) by Robin Givhan.

Anything and everything can be said on paper, and now, on air, as an exclusive Univision interview with Barack Obama to promote his latest book – A Promised Land - proves. From avowing that he couldn’t do anything about immigration and DACA because he “inherited ICE and Border Patrols and the various laws that were already in place”-, to openly admitting his plans to be the…

Network television season began late this year and the studios apparently used the extra months to carbon copy scripts repeating the Black Lives Matter narrative. Law and Order: SVU discovered "systemic racism" within NYPD, S.W.A.T. went full BLM and even sitcoms are now comparing law enforcement to slavery.

CBS’s The Neighborhood hasn’t been shy about pushing racial issues, so it’s only natural that it becomes the latest show to jump on the BLM bandwagon that’s been reignited this year. The comedy's third season premiere went full “Black Lives Matter” with a terrible “serious” episode.

On Saturday's AM Joy show, the MSNBC show gave frequent guest and The Nation correspondent Elie Mystal a forum to spew hate for Donald Trump supporters holding a rally in Washington, D.C., as he declared that "I hope they get frostbite," and, invoking Jane Goodall, vaguely likened them to gorillas.

Network shows have finally returned and with them comes a new narrative. As seen in Chicago P.D., NBC seems ready to give into the anti-cop crowd that protested its police dramas this past summer. Up next on the chopping block is one of its longest running shows, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

This morning CNN journalists let former President Obama take a turn at spewing hate towards President Trump and the millions of Americans who voted for him. 

The eighth season of NBC’s Chicago P.D. began airing on November 11. From the beginning of the first episode, titled “Fighting Ghosts", it is obvious that the groundwork is being laid for an ongoing conflict between police reformists and those who want to protect racist, corrupt cops.

This fall's network television line-up of cop shows has begun and that means endless lecturing of the Black Lives Matter narrative. Audiences are being hectored that police officers are inherently racist towards black men and nothing has changed in the U.S. since Jim Crow.

Anytime conservatives have a policy point that lefties disagree with, the left has an almost mystical ability of turning that into a racist slur. According to one African American scholar at Boston University, the phrase, “legal vote” is racist.
