Racism

Beloved comedian Chris Rock is now leaning into the race narrative that the left is using to divide America, reminding New York Times readers that, sure, African Americans are making progress, but in the same way that a housewife in an abusive marriage is making progress by not being beat by her husband anymore.

On Tuesday's CNN Tonight show, during a discussion of the ABC News town hall with President Donald Trump, host Don Lemon and contributor David Swerdlick tried to portray the President's "Make America Great Again" slogan as a racist dog whistle, suggesting he wants to take the country back to times of oppression against African Americans.

Eleven-time NBA champion Bill Russell has earned his Black Lives Matter spurs -- and then some. In a scathing commentary on The Players Tribune blog, the former Boston Celtics center and five-time league Most Valuable player scorched America as a Jim Crow-style racist nation terrorized by police and said President Donald Trump is no different than Lester Maddox, the former racist governor of…

Billed as a presidential town hall with questions from undecided voters, ABC showed that they pulled a fast one on the American people as Tuesday’s The President and the People: A 20/20 Special Event ended up being debate prep for President Trump as, instead of Joe Biden, he faced 90 minutes of hostility from chief anchor and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos.

Actress-singer and notable leftist Janelle Monáe has been vocal about her upcoming movie Antebellum. Like most films this year, it was originally set to be released earlier in April but has since been pushed back due to COVID restrictions. It’s now set for release this Friday on VOD, so Monáe has a lot to say about the picture. Unfortunately, none of it is that good.

To all the NFL fans who booed social justice activists during the weekend's season openers, you are racists and just like racists of the distant past, too. In fact, Deadspin race-baiter Rob Parker says, "fans being racist is nothing new," and a disgrace to be expected.

CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus gave his NFL broadcast teams a crystal clear ultimatum prior to Sunday's games: no one was to interject personal opinions on Black Lives Matter, kneeling or social justice during the day's broadcasts. Yeah, a ratings bath like the one incurred by the league in Thursday's game will do that!

During the NFL's Thursday night season opener, fans at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium and the television viewers at home made it clear they are not cool with athlete activism in the workplace. Particularly the Marxist brand of Black Lives Matter activism. That's unacceptable with the NFL, says sports blogger Tyler Tynes of The Ringer.

Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy show, Dan Rather says the election is a choice between "white supremacy," and "freedom and democracy." He tells guest host Jonathan Capehart that it is "very realistic" to be afraid that President Trump will win. When talk turns to an allegation by a Department of Homeland Security "whistleblower" that he was pressured to downplay facts that President Trump…

Over the past several days, the media have been displaying a classic example of their double standard in which police shooting stories receive attention. If it bolsters the liberal narrative that police violence is motivated by racism, it is much more likely to receive attention than if a questionable case of police violence involves a white victim.

On Friday, ESPN’s headline debate show, First Take, was ready to sit up and take notice of the social justice drama that took place during Thursday Night Football’s pre-game. Unsurprisingly, the primary topic of the conversation was about the apparent booing that took place during the moment of silence for social justice.

From the title alone, it was easy to guess that Hulu’s Woke would be a terrible, liberal mess. After slumming through all eight episodes, it’s safe to say it’s far worse than that. This series is a hateful, miserable piece of propaganda that barely rises to the level of “comedy.”

An athlete taking a knee used to be a bold move, but that was 2016. Now as pro sports are beating fans over the head with the "Black Lives Matter" message, kneeling doesn't go far enough, wrote Sean Gregory in a Time magazine article defending social justice activism in sports. The games are no longer "some pleasurable distraction in tough times" and it’s no longer acceptable to "use…

In matters of race and other social phenomena, there is a tendency to believe that what is seen today has always been. For black people, the socioeconomic progress achieved during my lifetime, which started in 1936, exceeded anyone's wildest dreams. In 1936, most black people lived in gross material poverty and racial discrimination. Such poverty and discrimination is all but nonexistent today…
