Racism

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…

Look, another institution is hollowing itself out to comply with the demands, real or anticipated, of social justice drones. In this case, it’s a Hollywood institution, so conservatives will probably just shrug. But there are some media personalities who are not OK with it.   

With the election now just weeks away, the good and gentle liberals at The Washington Post are pulling out all the Orange Man Bad stops. Last week the sports section was caught in a dishonest hit piece about a sports site that may or may not be kind of Trumpy. On Wednesday, they turned to a history professor to put an academic sheen on their usual accusations of  [wait for it …]…

Taking a page out of today’s headlines, the CW’s Coroner aired an episode on September 9 titled “Confetti Heart” that focused on a white cop shooting and killing an unarmed black man. To hear the protesters in the Black Lives Matter movement, this sort of thing happens every day in America. This show, however, is set in Canada so at least the viewer is spared that line of propaganda…

Here we go again. The Philadelphia Eagles signed a 41-year-old player to come out of retirement and play on their practice squad and Deadspin's Rob Parker is doing the "What about Kaepernick?" howl. Kaep is 10 times better than Josh McCown and he should have gotten the job as Eagles emergency quarterback, Parker moans.

Racist police harassing, attacking and almost killing innocent young men? Armed officers instigating peaceful protesters until it turns into a riot? A world so systematically racist that nobody from one particular race can ever rise up the social stratum? 

It was a disgusting scene during the Tuesday handoff between CNN hosts Chris Cuomo (PrimeTime) and Don Lemon (CNN Tonight), as the two of them exposed the hate in the hearts. As both of them insisted America was a systemically racist place, Lemon equated racism to addiction and suggested that poor white people were “doing it wrong” by not taking “advantage” of their “…

There was no shortage of white guilt TV over the Labor Day weekend. CBS Sports aired a five-hour program on racism and society, titled "Portraits In Black" on Sunday afternoon. ESPN's College GameDay program on Saturday went heavy on social justice, too.

Mark off one more sport exploited by Black Lives Matter protesters: horse racing. Just like basketball, baseball, football and soccer, the Kentucky Derby had to be overshadowed by social justice protests. Louisville is where Breonna Taylor lived and died, and the Black Lives Matter disrupters were out in force to protest and turn the actual sporting event into a sideshow.
