Racism

Wednesday was the 50th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and MSNBC’s Morning Joe decided to commemorate the occasion by bringing on Al Sharpton -- host of the channel’s Sunday morning PoliticsNation show -- to discuss King’s legacy in the era of President Donald Trump. Of course, Sharpton used the occasion to slam the Republican occupant of the White House by asserting that…

On Tuesday's Hardball on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews and liberal contributor Eddie Glaude pushed the notion that President Donald Trump engages in "race-baiting" by criticizing former President Barack Obama, and that he envies the former President, viewing him as an "uppity black person that we need to put in his place."  

A Houston grand jury recently indicted pro football player Michael Bennett on the charge of injuring an elderly woman, and his social justice warrior friends in the media have their long knives out for the police. Dave Zirin, who co-wrote a book ("Things That Make White People Uncomfortable") with Bennett, to be released tomorrow, charges the arrest was timed with the release of the book.…

As Scott Whitlock noted Tuesday afternoon, CNN's perpetually aggrieved Jim Acosta was at it again, hinting at a conspiracy behind a lost broadcast connection: "I won’t read into why we lost connection just a few moments ago." Acosta's Tuesday whining shouldn't cause us to forget or ignore what he did on Monday, when he set a new low for journalistic rudeness by shouting questions at President…

Blind to liberal TV’s own obsession with attacking President Trump, Sunday’s episode of CBS’s The Good Fight criticized the media’s fixation with the president. Each episode of the Trump-hating show is named after the amount of days since Trump’s inauguration. Yet tonight, in the episode titled, “Day 436,” lawyer Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) flips through the TV channels, scoffing at the…

On Friday's MTP Daily, MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude added his name to the list of liberals who have promoted the myth that murderer and white supremacist Dylann Roof was actually taken on a trip to Burger King by police as he declared that President Donald Trump and his administration members "don't give a damn about black people" for not intervening in the Stephon Clark police shooting case.

It looks like some liberal journalists are just not going to be happy with any school safety improvements that have anything to do with more guns in schools -- even if carried by trained police officers -- as CNN Tonight host Don Lemon used a segment on Friday to give a forum to students from Parkland who are concerned that a greater police presence at the school has been making them feel…

On Thursday's At This Hour on CNN, Symone Sanders joined Angela Rye in the list of liberal CNN political commentators who have repeated a discredited myth that the gunman in the Charleston church massacre, Dylann Roof, was given special treatment by police before being incarcerated. During a debate over President Donald Trump's reaction to the police killings of Alton Sterling and Stephon Clark,…

On Thursday's MSNBC Live, near the end of her show, host Katy Tur delivered a commentary touting the liberal spin on the issue of police shootings and race as she complained about White House unwillingness to intervene in the Stephon Clark shooting case. But, even though her colleague Chris Jansing actually acknowledged the day before that twice as many whites as blacks have so far been killed by…

Wednesday's CNN Tonight featured the latest example of a panel in which the lone conservative guest had to fend off all the other panel members as CNN political commentator and former Donald Trump advisor Steve Cortes debated police shootings with liberal host Don Lemon, Democratic strategist Keith Boykin, and alleged conservative Shermichael Singleton who typically makes cable news appearances…

On Sunday's AM Joy, host Joy Reid and her panel were again hating on the NRA, this time smearing the pro-gun group with a conspiracy theory that it recently had black rapper Killer Mike -- who notably supported Bernie Sanders for President -- as a guest for the purpose of scaring members to become afraid of blacks and therefore to buy more guns. Frequent guest Michelle Bernard -- who has been an…

On ESPN's First Take talk show Friday, Will Cain asked Stephen A. Smith who will be signed first as an NFL quarterback: Johnny Manziel or Colin Kaepernick. Smith picked Manziel and said that after all the damage Kaepernick has done to himself and the league, drunks could be signed before him. Co-host Max Kellerman argued that the prevailing opposition to Kaepernick by "old white men" could shift…

Several black activist groups conducted a lobbying effort Monday against a GOP House resolution condemning Louis Farrakhan, a person even the usually conservative-bashing Southern Poverty Law Center has condemned for his anti-Semitic, anti-white, and other racially hateful remarks. This is not news in the establishment press, and probably never will be. That's because Monday's effort exposes the…

To The Root's Senior Editor Stephen Crockett Jr., the notorious ex-football player Colin Kaepernick is "our king" and a man who walks it, talks it. "His majesty" Kaepernick is also the embodiment of slaves who jumped off slave ships to their death, and he's the man who now shows up at depositions of the NFL owners he accuses of colluding to keep him out of the league wearing a Kunta Kinte t-shirt…
