On Friday's The Beat with Ari Melber on MSNBC, during the "Fall Back Friday" segment, host Melber at one point claimed that President Donald Trump "literally endorsed white supremacy" after the murder that took place at the Charlottesville white supremacist rally, as the group discussed Kanye West praising Trump. He and talk radio host Peter Rosenberg also complained about the "pain" that the…

On Thursday's CNN Tonight, during a discussion of rapper Kanye West being criticized for praising President Donald Trump, right-leaning CNN political commentator and anti-Trump Republican Tara Setymayer again took shots at black Trump supporters as she brought up the Diamond and Silk conservative duo and derided them as "political minstrels" and a "shuck and jive show."

Over the past couple of days, as FNC and the broadcast networks have informed viewers of two separate attacks on police officers that have left two dead, MSNBC has completely ignored the tragic events while CNN has buried its coverage early in the morning. By contrast, MSNBC spent more than 15 minutes across four different shows celebrating the release of rapper Meek Mill, and CNN also gave the…

On Wednesday's MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle, host Ruhle worried that President Donald Trump is appointing too many "white male judges" from the conservative Federalist Society who will be on the courts "forever," during a discussion of rapper Meek Mill's release from prison.

On Wednesday's CNN Tonight, anchor Don Lemon hosted a segment to discuss the fact that rapper Kanye West has received criticism for praising President Donald Trump. The CNN host even alluded to West's history of accusing President George W. Bush of not caring about black Americans to then suggest that now West may not "care about black people."

Regardless of how you feel about Kanye West’s music or often reckless bravado, you have to admit, he really does a good job of riling people up. This time, the rap superstar has decided to go for the jugular, and divorce himself from the narrative of the mainstream left, all by mentioning a mere camaraderie with President Donald Trump.

“Thank you, don’t come again.” Hank Azaria, the voice behind many classic Simpsons characters, has decided that now may be the time to move on from his time playing everyone’s favorite Kwik-E-Mart owner, Apu.

On Tuesday's New Day, as CNN's Alisyn Camerota hosted a debate between far-left former MSNBC contributor Michael Eric Dyson and former Donald Trump advisor Steve Cortes over what the word "breeding" was referring to in a recent tweet by the President, Dyson at one point asserted that "you can be a white supremacist in brown skin" as he argued against his fellow guest defending Trump. Additionally…

The Nation's sports editor Dave Zirin is livid that the man who occupies the White House, courtesy of the slave-holders who devised the electoral college, is getting the credit for pardoning Jack Johnson. The African-American Johnson was an early 20th century boxing champion who also served prison time for a criminal charge.

Running off his mouth about "lawful lynching" in the U.S., Colin Kaepernick (center in photograph) may have hammered several more nails into the "coffin" of his NFL career. But in accepting Amnesty International's Ambassador of Conscience Award—it's highest award—in Amsterdam last night, he thrilled his adoring media base.

GQ magazine attracted controversy with a pseudo-irreverent, provocative list in its May issue, "21 Books You Don't Have to Read Before You Die." The overarching tone is an ideology-first assault against the dreaded oeuvre of Dead (Racist/Sexist) White Males, with GQ gleefully ripping the reputation of books unjustly bolstered in the Western canon by white privilege, as a review of the piece in…

Set for release May 8, ESPN The Magazine writer Howard Bryant's book, "The Heritage: Black Athletes, a Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism," is a defense of the African-American athletes' protest movement and an incendiary attack on white racist sports fans.

Major League Baseball just observed the 71st anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the race barrier, but little has changed since 1947 when he endured appalling racism. ESPN's Howard Bryant claims that if Robinson was still alive today, "He would be facing the same sort of vitriol that Colin Kaepernick is facing today." Bryant made these and other pointed remarks about race on The Sporting Life…

ABC’s Scandal will be finished at the end of its seventh season. Here’s hoping the door doesn’t hit this morally bankrupt ABC trash on the way out. Many Americans will remember the show for its flagrant pushing of the envelope when it came to excoriating conservative principles, and pushing moral themes that were, at the very least, avant-garde. Still, what can you expect from a TV show named…
