Racism

Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson is on the end of a different kind of reception today: heaps of flack for posting anti-semitic social media messages that could threaten his lucrative pro football career. Over the Fourth of July weekend, Jackson binged on Lewis Farrakhan messages and posted anti-semitic quotes supposedly made by Adolph Hitler, leading former Eagles owner Joe Banner…

The Black Lives Matter movement is trying its hardest to reframe every aspect of American life in a new racial light to manufacture grievances out of situations where there were none before. Its followers are doing the same. Consider folks like former QB Colin Kaepernick now calling the Fourth of July “white supremacist” or actress Vivica A. Fox revising her own interactions with the Trumps on…

So much for high rises being a great achievement. The Guardian’s latest insane, sexualized story condemning “phallic towers” in cities for their “masculine power” is woke-think on steroids. The Guardian made readers know that “Toxic masculinity is built into the fabric of our urban spaces,” in an extremely cringey story headlined, “‘Upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky…

The media's deliberate misinterpretation of President Trump's Mount Rushmore speech as part of a pro-Confederate culture war continued on Monday's MSNBC Live as the Washington Post's Philip Rucker cited unnamed Republicans who fear that Trump is planting the party "on the wrong side of history."

On MSNBC, Brian Williams, after claiming that the government always mentions co-morbidities when discussing COVID-19 deaths among black Americans, wonders: "am I alone in hearing at least a whiff of victim-shaming?"

The New York Times hates American capitalism, and nothing makes that clearer than its Sunday print newspaper.

You would never think it possible but – and make sure you’re sitting down for what we’re about to tell you – a board game, a literal board game might have the proposal that will save the world. Yes, we kid you not. A Hasbro product, meant for rainy days and lame nights for bonding with the in-laws, may be humanity’s next small step in eradicating racism.

Kaepernick is so willing to captain any team that he has signed on to be quarterback of a literal anti-American resistance. Geez, who would’ve thought? After all, his fans told us he wore socks depicting police as pigs and fanboyed over Fidel Castro because of his love for America! Surely, he would tone down the rhetoric at some point, right?

It’s hard out there for a Washington Post book reviewer. Hey, you try balancing your exquisite wokeness (or the appearance thereof -- it strains credulity that anybody really believes all this bilge) with a supposed love of literature. 

Feeling extreme corporate and political heat, the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians are talking about changing their nicknames, and elated sports media "piranhas" are smelling blood in the water. Despite overwhelming national support for Native American nicknames, left-stream media -- The Washington Post and USA Today in particular -- have been demanding this…

The National Football League is figuratively going through a frantic two-minute drill to placate the Black Lives Matter crowd, and a sports blogger from The Shadow League is whining that the league's lengthy list of social justice activities is too little and too late. Rhett Butler writes that the league's decision to play the black national anthem "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" is wise, but…

Friday's PBS NewsHour ran a report promoting the leftist campaign to boycott Facebook because it allows viral content liberals don't like. But PBS really went too far this time, conflating a recent video by conservative activist Candace Owens with a couple of members of an extremist group who murdered a law enforcement officer, Dave Underwood. 

A major plotline for season 3 of Showtime’s The Chi involves the disappearance of 18-year-old Kiesha Williams (Birgundi Baker). July 5’s episode “Buss Down” further explores the consequences of the disappearance, specifically the perception of the need for (or lack thereof) police in the black community of Chicago.

The front page of the New York Times’ local edition Sunday took another bite out of Trump’s Independence Day weekend speeches in “As Virus Rages and Poll Numbers Slip, ‘American Carnage’ Redux.”The text box underlined an imaginary racist angle to Trump’s speeches: “Stoking racial fears to pit a white voting base against nationwide calls for social justice.” The story by White House…
