Liberal Democrats and the Minority Voter

Democrats are going after the black vote by deliberately spreading false information.  Apparently it has worked pretty well in the past, but this may be changing.

Overview:
 Democrats are worried about black voters in November.  Democrats like to hide the fact that it was once Republican party that had the lock on black voters.  The Republicans had earned that relationship.  The Republican party was formed in 1854 as an abolitionist party, and it was the Republican party, under Abraham Lincoln's leadership, that spearheaded a vast civil war to end that immoral practice.  What finally pried blacks away from the Republican party was government money.  The first round of government checks came under Franklin Roosevelt.  The second round came through Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.  That second round not only cemented blacks' allegiance to the Democrat party, it also destroyed much of the black community.

Reparations, the New Slave Wages.  Every Black History month Blacks sing "We Shall Overcome" but if the Black community in America continues to accept and foolishly advocate for a slave mentality, that is what they shall get.  The progressive socialist left, aka the Democrat party, has been highly successful in perpetuating a victim mentality for the black community.  And in many ways, it has been the policies of the white socialist elitists of the left that have decimated and destroyed the black community.  Over the centuries, it has been the Democrats who have brought forth the policies of secession, slavery, segregation, and socialism... the dreaded 4S's of the leftist apocalypse.  In every way, these ideologies have proven detrimental to the existence of the black community.  It is very comical to me to hear Democrats talk about Jim Crow when that is the policy they created and implemented, along with poll taxes, literacy tests, and lynchings.  It was the Senate Democrats who have the record for the longest filibuster in US Senate history, against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which passed thanks to Senate Republicans led by Everett Dirksen.  The so-called Great Society programs of widely known racist Democrat president Lyndon Johnson proved not so great.  It led to the destruction of the traditional nuclear black family and turned American inner city communities into new economic plantations.  Today, the black community is plagued with high unemployment, rampant fatherlessness, the genocidal murdering of our unborn babies, substandard schools, and lagging small business entrepreneurship.  The new civil rights issue of this current age is school choice, but leftists, led by the Randi Weingarten teacher's unions stand against it.

Biden Executive Order on Equity Rhymes With Jim Crow.  President Biden recently issued an executive order entitled "Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government."  Make no mistake:  this executive order has the effect of pushing us backward toward a racially divided nation, just like the good old days.  What a shame.  Not thirty years ago, a very different spirit animated civil rights.  Call it the Martin Luther King vision.  Dr. King's vision was fundamentally the Christian one, where every person has dignity, where racism is a sin, where race matters not at all compared to character.  Dr. King held the moral high ground here.  His vision ushered in a few short decades of getting it right.  America had just emerged from two centuries as a nation embracing the opposite of Dr. King's vision.  First human slavery, then violent, racially motivated lawlessness ruled the night.

Eight Startling and Uncomfortable Ways the Democrat Party Emulates the Nazi Party.  First, racial and ethnic division was a central component of Nazi political strategy and philosophy.  The Nazi Party was the most racially obsessed political party in human history.  Today's Democrat party is second only to the Nazi Party in their racial obsession.  Every piece of legislation, every accusation against their opponents, every aspect of American society, even weather and climate are framed in imaginary racism.  The Nazi Party's obsession focused on their perverted belief in the inferiority and superiority of the races or ethnicities.  This opened the door for blaming a specific ethnic group for all the problems facing their country.  The Democrat party is claiming the root cause of virtually all problems facing this nation is "systemic racism" as theoretically instigated by one particular race.

Is The Left Harnessing Fake Antisemitic Attacks To Silence Americans' Speech?  "Speech, expression and assembly" represent the triumvirate for truth.  Short of breaking existing laws around physical violence and incitement to physical violence, the more we have of all three, the closer we come to that more perfect union, offering the most freedom for the most people with the least government interference.  But in an age of internet technology with deep fakes, bots, hacks, and myriad pathways to craft and deliver mis- and dis-information, radical left-wingers can abuse and use those liberties to tarnish conservatives, desensitize our communities to certain phenomena, and squelch our freedoms.  It behooves individuals, our government, and even watchdog organizations to pause before reacting to information from somewhere on the internet.

Democrats Were the Party of Segregation Years Ago, and they Still Are Today.  When Joe Biden made his recent comments regarding working with segregationist Democrats decades ago, the backlash from his 2020 rivals was expected.  As the current frontrunner by a wide margin, his primary opponents are desperately hoping to find something that will knock him down and give them a chance to emerge from their single-digit polling.  But, what no one seems to be talking about is the hypocrisy of the Democrat outrage over Biden's comments.  It would be nice to think that Democrats, who were the party of segregation fifty years ago, have learned the evils of separating people by race, ethnicity, religion, etc., but they actually have not.  They were the party of segregation back then, and they are the party of segregation today.  Segregation is happening right now, voluntarily, across the country, in public and private institutions dominated by liberals, who preach equality and diversity but can't quite figure out how to practice what they preach.

Biden Slammed over 'White Boy' Remark During Event Marking Black History Month: 'Most Racist President... Since LBJ'.  President Joe Biden faced a wave of backlash over what was deemed a "racist" comment of his implying that white men are unintelligent, after stating, "I may be a white boy, but I'm not stupid," at a reception honoring African Americans throughout the country's history.  During a White House reception marking Black History Month on Monday, President Biden stated that "black history matters" after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly rejected a high school Advance Placement course for African American studies following his "Stop Woke Act," which aims to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the state's public schools.

'Equity' Is Not Equality — It's Revenge.  This strain of stubborn hatred is the same stuff that kept blood feuds hot between the Hatfields and the McCoys for nearly three decades.  It blinded the Hutus of Rwanda into butchering 800,000 innocent Tutsis in 1994.  It's why Arab hatred of Israel seethes as fresh today as it did in the 1940s.  And it's the same combustible stuff that Democrats, activists, and global technocrats use to drench the public discourse with an old history that inflames black anger toward whites.  "Innocent men, women and children hung by a noose from trees," said Joe Biden last week at a White House screening of a new film about Emmett Till. "... bodies burned, drowned, castrated, lynched for simply being black — nothing more.  With white crowds, white families gathered to celebrate the spectacle, taking pictures of the bodies and mailing them as postcards.  Hard to believe that's what was done.  There's some people still want to do that."  Still?  Who, Joe?  Not a single soul, of course.  "Some people" are ghosts.  There's so little white racism today that Biden and his ilk are reduced to jerry-rigging tragic history to grossly distorted current events to create menacing white racist devils that do not exist: "white privilege," "systemic racism," and "white supremacy."  It's so infuriating because "some people still want to do that" is a hideous lie that digs into long-healed racial wounds.  A new generation of Americans is being drenched with this stuff, for no good reason, in the name of achieving racial "equity."

The collapse of civilization on the altar of equity and diversity.  Talent and merit has nothing to do with race, but the left does not accept that fact.  It is the left that is truly racist; Joe Biden has long been one of the worst racists in Congress.  Watch his attempted humiliation of Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearing to see just how racist Biden is.  Thomas is a towering intellect with an IQ twice that of poor old Joe's.  But like most people who are both stupid and arrogant, they never recognize brilliance in others.  They only know they resent such people but they don't know why.

The Takedown of Anna Paulina Luna Is Not Going as Planned.  Since the legacy media is running out of fodder on NY Rep. George Santos, The Washington Post decided it needed to set its investigative sites on the freshman representative from Florida, Anna Paulina Luna.  Luna has been making her mark among the newly-minted GOP House.  Luna was one of the gang of 20 who held House Speaker McCarthy's feet to the fire on the Rules package in order for him to secure her vote for his speakership.  Luna is causing her Democrat colleagues to clutch their pearls over her 2A stance and asserting her right to carry her firearm within the meeting chambers.  Luna publicly joined Reps.  Andrew Clyde and George Santos in wearing an AR-15 lapel pin to show her support of 2A rights, and she is cutting a swath on the House Oversight Committee with her targeted grilling of those testifying on the floor.  The WaPo hit piece is the usual drivel of anonymous sources, interviews with associates that are supposedly dear friends, distant cousins, and hair-splitting hyperbole to make Luna's story and background as questionable as possible.

Biden Caught In Yet Another Lie.  President Joe Biden has told lie after lie, getting caught each time.  You'd think he'd learned his lesson by now.  In yet another fabrication of his, Biden claimed that he attended a black church in Delaware every morning after he attended Catholic mass in high school, despite members of the church not being able to recall the president ever being there.

What does "sanctuary city" really mean?
 Mayors Adams and Lightfoot demand Colorado stop sending migrants.  Colorado Gov. Jared Polis informed New York City this week that he'd be sending more buses full of migrants in the near future.  The story made news after Mayor Adams of NYC complained about it during a radio interview Tuesday.  But according to Gov. Polis, the buses full of migrants aren't new.  He's been "helping asylum seekers reach their final destinations" for weeks.  He says there is a backlog of migrants wanting to leave Denver and head to New York but because of a recent storm they were stuck in Denver.  Now he's trying to undo that backlog.

History Of The Democrats And The KKK.  The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white, according to a new television program and book, which describe how the Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats.  An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964.  The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white, according to a new television program and book, which describe how the Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats.  An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964.  The documentation has been assembled by David Barton of Wallbuilders and published in his book "Setting the Record Straight:  American History in Black & White," which reveals that not only did the Democrats work hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for generations, they started the KKK and endorsed its mayhem.  "Of all forms of violent intimidation, lynchings were by far the most effective," Barton said in his book.  "Republicans often led the efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws and their platforms consistently called for a ban on lynching.  Democrats successfully blocked those bills and their platforms never did condemn lynchings."  Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism, he said.

It's not racism that's destroying American communities.  Democrats know what's destroying inner-city communities:  Systemic racism (including in prison sentences), the lack of reparations, police violence, the lack of organic groceries, and AR-15s.  None of this is true, of course, but it's the snake oil they're peddling and, sadly, a lot of people within these inner-city communities seem to buy it because they keep voting for the same old Democrats.  (Maxine Waters, anyone?)  Will Scharf, an Assistant U.S. Attorney who works in the violent crimes unit in St. Louis, Missouri, America's most dangerous city, has a different take on what's going on.  It won't surprise you, of course, to learn that the Democrats are wrong in every respect.

Legalizing illegals vs. having babies.  On Nov. 16, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., stated that the United States needed more immigrants to offset the low birth rate of Americans.  He added that because of the low birth rate, the U.S. needed to provide a path to citizenship for illegal aliens (somewhere between 11 and 40 million of them now in the country) and for "Dreamers."  Bloomberg Business Week pointed out Nov. 7 how the birth rate in America is too low to sustain and grow the population and that the poorest and least-educated countries have the higher birth rates.  The countries that can afford children have the lowest birth rates, while those countries that can least afford them have the highest.  In "The Demographic Cliff," Harry Dent pointed out almost 20 years ago that the low birth rates in Caucasian countries, industrialized countries, would cause tremendous problems.  The Caucasian portion of the world's population fell from 25% to 10% in just 30 years.

Joe Biden: Historic Black Universities Are 'Just as Smart' as Other Colleges.  President Joe Biden concluded his political rallies for the midterms at a historically black university in Maryland, telling students they were "just as smart" as other colleges in the United States.  Biden defended the "historic" $5.8 billion in funding he budgeted for HBCUs as president.  "HBCUs don't have the endowments others have, but guess what, you're just as smart, you're just as bright, you're just as good as any college in America," Biden said.

'Blaxploitation' continues to rear its ugly, demonic head.  'Blaxploitation' is a term commonly used to confirm instances of the exploitation of black people. [...] Predictably every two years, the Party/candidates with grotesque intentions to manipulate (therefore abuse and malign) black voters do all they can to agitate the emotion of rage.  It's a known fact:  Voters wholly driven by emotion (in this case, racial agitation) cannot be thoughtful and logical or exercise prudence.  That said, the current Blaxploitation scheme encourages racial animus and rage, so the widespread economic carnage we've endured (inflation, recession, and food/gas shortages) due to bad policies are ignored, while shielding those responsible for bad policies from accountability at the ballot box.  This is why Leftist/Progressive/Democrats inflame every situation into plots with some level of nefariously embedded "racism" and "white supremacy" instigated supposedly by conservatives/GOP, whites, and Christians.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Rejected Mayra Flores Because She Is Not A Democrat.  The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) denied Republican Texas Rep. Mayra Flores' request to join their group because she is a Republican.  Flores requested to join CHC in early October but was quickly rejected, Townhall first reported.  Flores, who took office in June after winning a special election in Texas' 34th Congressional District, is the first Mexican-born woman to serve in Congress.  According to a statement from the CHC, Flores will not be allowed to join the group due to bylaws that state the CHC is for only Democratic members of Congress.  The CHC also said Flores has "Extreme MAGA values."

The Editor says...
 Find out what MAGA stands for, and then explain to me what you don't like about that.

Democrats' racism against minorities now fully evident.  A few days back, Townhall reported that Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas) was prevented from joining the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), the leading caucus for Latino members of Congress.  Some of the notable members of this caucus are Reps.  Castro and Escobar.  Flores requested to join CHC in early October but was rejected shortly thereafter.  Flores is the first Mexican-born woman to serve in Congress and represents a district along the U.S.-Mexico border that is overwhelmingly Latino.

Latina Republican blocked from joining Congressional Hispanic Caucus.  Democrats who run the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) have blocked a freshman Latina Republican lawmaker from joining the group.  Mayra Flores, who flipped a long-held Democratic House seat along the U.S.-Mexico border earlier this year, said she was refused admission by the CHC because of her party affiliation.  "As the first Mexican-born American Congresswoman, I thought the Hispanic Caucus would be open to working together," said Flores.  "This denial once again proves a bias towards conservative Latinas that don't fit their narrative or ideology."  The CHC is the largest working group within Congress for lawmakers of Hispanic and Latino descent.  Its membership is made up of roughly 40 lawmakers from both the House and Senate.

NYC makes it clear where Blacks rank in the intersectional hierarchy.  Now that New York City is becoming a border state, thanks to incoming shipments of illegal aliens from the geographic border states, the city's mayor, Eric Adams, has gotten his act together and put out the welcome mat for people who have no right to be here in the first place.  The city's existing homeless, with special emphasis on homeless Blacks, have noticed that there's a gaping chasm between the quality of existing homeless shelters and the ones for the newbies — and the native New Yorkers are getting the short end of the stick. [...] This story out of New York City, however, tells us what the real "replacement" is:  American Blacks are being replaced as the Democrats' new favorite minority — illegal aliens.  Just look at the difference in treatment accorded the city's existing homeless, a disproportionate majority of whom are Black (Blacks account for more than 57% percent of the homeless, even as they make up only 20% of the city's population):  [Video clip]

The Left Is Obsessed With Herschel Walker's Blackness Because He's Not the Black Man They Want Him to Be.  The 2022 midterm elections have brought some specific races into the spotlight, and one of them is in my home state of Georgia, where football great Herschel Walker is running a tight race against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.).  One of the biggest complaints that the left (and some on the right) has leveled against Walker is that he's dumb, but that's simply not true.  He may not have the silver tongue of some candidates — including Warnock, who uses his oratorical skills to advocate for policies that fly in the face of his pastoral duties — but Walker isn't unintelligent.  Another aspect of Walker's life that the left loves to comment on is the fact that he's black.  Left-wing writers talk out of both sides of their mouths about Walker's blackness.  One writer at USA Today (so it's no shock that she's of the left) complained about how Walker's past reflects the wrong stereotypes about black men.

Migrants? Send them to sanctuary cities.  It's astonishing how little the progressive wing of the Democratic Party realizes how much their sanctimony turns off the folks who don't live in big cities where its hold on power is virtually unchallengeable. [...] Take the recent tweak some liberal party funders got from Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who managed to divert a planeload of illegal immigrants destined for temporary resettlement in his state to Martha's Vineyard, a pretentious enclave rich and super-rich progressives including former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, can call home during the summer months.  The expressions of outrage were palpable, particularly from the brie-eating, wine-swilling, EV-driving privileged types who regard their beachfront homes as their sacred sanctuary, well removed from the cares of daily life and the challenge of urban living.  These are the same people, mind you, who vote for and donate to politicians who advocate immigration amnesty, oppose border control efforts, and are proud of the fact they own property or reside in "sanctuary cities" that refuse to cooperate with the federal government's attempts to enforce immigration laws.  They didn't welcome these homeless migrants with open arms.  No, they gave them the "not in my backyard" treatment.  No surprise there, really, since they're all about appearances rather than reality.  But it says a lot about how far they are removed and have removed themselves from the reality of daily life in America.  This is why it was so helpful for Mr. DeSantis to rub their faces in the ongoing problem.

American Blacks and the Wawa mob in Philadelphia.  Since the dawn of the Democrat party, Democrats have proven themselves incapable of leaving Blacks alone. [...] When left even mostly alone, Blacks have done remarkably well.  Outside the deep South, and despite chronic racism in the rest of America, Blacks made great strides after World War II.  Indeed, in the lead-up to the 1950s Civil Rights Movement, Black marriage rates were roughly equal to White marriage rates.  Also, from the 1920s through the 1950s — and again, despite discrimination across America — Blacks saw very swift economic growth.  What changed all this was the biggest Democrat initiative regarding Blacks since slavery itself:  The Great Society plan and its attendant war on poverty.  At that moment, with Democrats abandoning the "do nothing" policy [Frederick] Douglass desired and fiercely embracing a "do everything" policy, Black economic and social ascension in America collapsed.

The FBI: Disturbing the Peace and Creating Inter-Party War.  [Scroll down] Many Black voters do not know these facts:
[1] The Civil Rights Act could not have passed without the strong support it received from Republicans;
[2] The nation's public schools were desegregated by Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower;
[3] Republican President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves;
[4] Democrat president Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal work force.
Nor, I think, do many Jewish and Japanese Americans know that Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt interned Japanese Americans and appointed and approved the actions of the State Department officials who deliberately limited those Jewish legal visa holders who were trying to escape the Holocaust by fleeing here.  The FBI's focusing attention on the almost nonexistent white nationalists deflects from the real history of the two parties just as it hopes to draw attention drawn away from an open border, rising inflation, food and gas shortages, and skyrocketing crime — the real landmarks of this administration.

It Only Took 24 Hours For A Rich Liberal Enclave To Kick Out Their Illegal Migrants.  Just 24 hours after receiving about 50 migrants, the national guard was activated to ship the handful of migrants from Martha's Vineyard to another town.  The migrants arrived Wednesday after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew them in on two planes, declaring Florida was not a sanctuary state.  The island called itself a "sanctuary destination" shortly after former President Donald Trump took office, according to PBS.  Certainly delivering migrants who are overwhelming border communities to an island that decisively voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 would be welcomed.  Wrong.

Our rights rest in three boxes.  Before and during the U.S. Civil War, Frederick Douglass was known as the leading voice in our country for abolishing slavery and for recognizing the God-given rights of black Americans. [...] In an 1867 speech, Frederick Douglass correctly stated, "A man's rights rest in three boxes:  the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box." [...] Marxist-liberal Democrats continue their war against freedom and directly against black Americans more vehemently than ever today.  They employ different methods and cover it up to fool us with censorship and Mass Media Propaganda (MMP), also called "Fake News."  They use "voting machines," aka scanners, to change our votes and select our supposedly elected officials against the consent of the people and use mail-in ballots (cheat by mail), ballot "harvesting," and other types of election fraud for the same purpose.  They further dilute and debase the value of our votes by keeping our borders open and allowing illegal aliens to vote.  Democrats are attacking our rights to the jury box and the cartridge box in many ways today, but the most urgent crisis we face is our right to the ballot box.

Tucker Carlson Notices the Missing Jubilation in Martha's Vineyard as Dozens of Illegal Aliens Arrive.  A strange thing happened.  After lecturing the nation on the virtues of mass migration, the white liberal democrats on Martha's Vineyard did not celebrate the arrival of the non-white immigrants they have been demanding for years.  Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted in his monologue that Martha's Vineyard famous nimby residents, including former President Barack Obama, did not welcome the people of color as one would expect.  Instead of celebrating the new diversity, oddly the residents quickly moved to find alternate off island locations to accept the arriving immigrants.  [Video clip]

Democrats espouse diversity but practice racism.  Democrats talk about diversity but their obsession with Critical Race Theory, which is premised on anti-White racism, gives the game away.  What's really happening thanks to their policies is that America's Blacks are falling ever further behind.  Just look at America's inner cities, which are almost entirely Black and Democrat-controlled.  It seems as if depraved indifference is the only thing explaining why 52 Democrat-run cities are more deadly than Ukraine at the height of its war.  Ukraine's civilian death rate was 13.12 per 100,000 people according to the UN. Meanwhile, here are the statistics for the three most deadly cities in America:  St. Louis, Missouri, has a rate of 87 murders per 100,000 residents; Baltimore, Maryland, has a rate of 58.27 murders per 100,000; and New Orleans, has a murder rate of 74.12 per 100,000.  St. Louis's murder rate means that, for every person killed in Ukraine, 6.7 are murdered in St. Louis.  Given that Missouri's average death rate is 12.094 deaths per one hundred thousand for slightly more than 6 million people, living in St. Louis is 719% more deadly than living in the rest of the state.  Another way to understand this is that, for every death in the state at large, seven are murdered inside St. Louis's ghetto.

An Open Letter to Joe Biden.  My name is Royce White.  I'm an American citizen, born and raised in the 32nd state of the union.  I'm a Christian, I am a Black man and yes I am a MAGA Republican.  Although given the current state of politics, it may not be fair to call us Republicans at all.  There are no Democrats or Republicans anymore, Only Globalists and Nationalists.  On this day I am more concerned than ever about the future of this country.  Yet for many reasons I feel equally blessed.

Virginia Lt.  Governor Winsome Sears Talks About Why Democrats Despise Black Conservatives.  Democrats have a terrible record of behaving horribly towards black conservatives.  They will often openly use demeaning and even racist terms to insult them.  Just look at the way the left has treated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or Dr. Ben Carson.  Virginia's Lt.  Governor Winsome Sears is a conservative Republican and she has dealt with this issue as well.

Where did the NFL get the idea that they should race-norm cognitive tests?  The NFL says it will quit race-norming cognitive tests to determine damages for minorities in cases related to football players' concussions. [...] Where would they ever get the idea that blacks started out with lower scores?  Could it be that they thought if government agencies throughout the country say that minorities start out with lower scores that they should follow their guidance?

Democrats continue their unhinged bigotry toward black Republicans.  Everything old is new again, as some Democrats have unleashed their hateful and intolerant bigotry toward the latest black Republican politician running for office.  Last August, it was Larry Elder, whom a white woman accosted as she wore a gorilla mask in a naked display of racism.  This year, it is Herschel Walker, the football legend and Republican nominee for Senate from Georgia.

Why Are There So Many Idiots in Politics?  [Scroll down]  Democrats will remain a force no matter what happens in the election.  Enough dumb people will be sending leftists to Washington because people who live in absolute pits of despair — Chicago's south side, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis — where the economy only works for Democrat power brokers and their politicians they enable, will vote for the same people who caused their economic problems under the guise of "the other side is worse."  You have to be stupid to believe Republicans could be worse than what Democrats are in these communities.  If you tried to destroy these cities, aside from literally bombing them from the air, it is hard to think of what you could do differently to make them worse than Democrats have in the name of "helping" people.

Texas Democrat launches a racist attack on Mayra Flores.  Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Tex.) recently came under fire after a hired political operative, Texas political blogger Jerry McHale, launched a series of bigoted attacks on his opponent Mayra Flores (R-Tex.). [...] Flores's surprise victory in June during special elections for Texas's 34th congressional district made her the first Latina Republican born in Mexico to be elected to Congress.  This was a major election victory for the GOP because the Latino-dominated district hasn't been represented by Republicans since 1871.  Flores's victory elevated her to the national spotlight.  How did the Democrats react?  Not well.

The Party of Affluent, Progressive Whites.  Back in 2002, Ruy Teixeira and John Judis published a book boldly proclaiming The Emerging Democratic Majority.  Demographics were destiny, said the authors.  The coloring of America would transform politics in the Democrats' favor for a long time.  In the 20 years since, no such majority has materialized. [...] Other than echo-chamber dwelling affluent, progressive whites, Latinos and working- and middle-class folk don't give a hoot about the phony January 6 insurrection.  Gun control isn't a push-button issue, either.  Abortion?  Plenty of Latinos identify as Catholic or, increasingly, fundamentalist Christian.  Abortion is a grave sin to them.  People of faith don't like to go crosswise God, something that better-heeled, secularist (read atheist) whites, consumed with their virtue-signaling and journeys of self-obsession, dismiss as caveman sensibility.  For these heathens, if a baby in the womb is inconvenient, well, kill the child, right up to the moment of birth.  That extremism turns off many Latinos.

Our Political Leaders Have Failed the Black Community.  The perpetuation of a black society that glorifies violence and drug use, which is often heard in rap music, has been a poison for the black community, particularly young black males.  This subculture has attracted boys from a young age, and like an addictive drug, it is so attractive that far too many of them depend on a way of life that will either land them in jail or, in the worst circumstances, result in their death. [...] However, it is not only the purveyors of criminal acts who are active participants in this subculture who are severely burdened and afflicted.  Numerous innocent individuals in black communities throughout the United States are also adversely affected by virtue of them being stuck in the middle of the conflicts within their communities.  In places such as Chicago, it is common to hear of young, innocent children who are killed on their way to school or while playing in the park.  The atrocities committed against the innocent in our country are so heinous that they require our immediate attention.  No child or family should be forced to live in an environment rife with continuous hazards.

The Rise of Black Girly Men.  I've noticed that when media represent so-called "transgender" men and highly effeminate males, they are often black.  Perhaps far too many people are desensitized to the pollution in our mass media to notice the disproportionate number of high-profile effeminate black men showcased in high rotation in all mass communication media.  These "gender-fluid" celebrities all display a common exaggerated and dramatically "flaming" exhibitionistic effeminate behavior.  It is my simple observation that whenever the secular humanist liberal class desires to impose non-traditional values into the public square, they often employ compromised black individuals or assume "black causes" to advance their self-serving agenda.  These elites care nothing for blacks or America, just their own pursuits.  The elites use blacks as human shields, as window dressing to manipulate, deflect, suppress, and silence any debate, dissent, or opposition from the majority of Americans who fear airing ideas or opinions that would result in being labeled as racists, homophobic, fascists, or all three.

Dr. Jill Biden Compares Latinos to Tacos.  You might remember the manufactured media controversy that erupted when President Trump tweeted a picture of himself eating a taco bowl on Cinco De Mayo.  The media and left-wing moonbats went nuts, calling it a racist belittlement of the Hispanic community.  Well, today, someone convinced Dr. Jill Biden that it would be a great idea, a brilliant exhibition of her connection to the Latino community, for her to compare the diversity and unique nature of Latino's to "breakfast tacos." [...] But wait, it gets worse.  Mrs. Biden doesn't even know how to pronounce the word "bodegas" as it was loaded into her teleprompter.

Jill Biden mocked for comparing Hispanics to tacos at 'Latinx Incluxion' conference.  First lady Jill Biden faced some mockery and ridicule after she spoke at a "Latinx Incluxion" conference and compared Hispanics to tacos.  Biden was the keynote speaker at the Latinx IncluXion Luncheon held at the Grand Hyatt Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas, on Monday [7/11/2022].  While addressing the mostly Hispanic audience, the first lady mispronounced "bodegas" as "bogedas," and then compared the Hispanic community to breakfast tacos.  "The diversity of this community as distinct at the bogedas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength!"

Hispanic Journalists Drag Jill Biden for Comparing Them to 'Breakfast Tacos'.  No, that headline isn't satire.  Jill Biden did actually compare Hispanics to "breakfast tacos" on Monday while speaking in San Antonio.  She also apparently can't pronounce the word "bodega," instead going with "bo-gah-da."  Was she trying to cop a faux-Spanish pronunciation to up her street cred?  The First Lady has a history of such, including her infamous "si-se-podway" gaffe during the 2020 campaign.  As RedState reported, these latest flubs came during something called a "LatinX IncluXion" conference, which can be translated to "Democrats want to lose Hispanic voters."  And while the right has had a good time with the "breakfast tacos" comment, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists didn't find it funny at all.  They released a statement dragging Jill Biden and her speech writers for coming up with such a line.

Racist Left using Critical Race Theory in large metro school system to hold down blacks.  The 600,000-student Los Angeles Unified School District is using taxpayer dollars to train government teachers and staff members to instruct boys and girls that meritocracy, success, and hard work are all "white."  So, logically, if you are black, then kakistocracy (rule by the worst), failure, and sloth are just your cup of tea.  This is vile, repugnant, racist garbage.  Documents unearthed by Fox News Channel's Jessica Chasmar confirm that this "implicit/unconscious bias training" is guided by UCLA professor Tyrone Howard.  It contends that "Whiteness" "incorporates an anti-Blackness ideology which demonizes that which is furthest from White."  Also, "Individualism" "operates from a survival-of-the-fittest approach that stresses singular pursuit and accomplishment."

I think The New York Times is scared ... and more than a little racist.  The New York Times is apparently very afraid because Republicans are more than successful in their attempts to appeal to Latino voters.  Yes, The New York Times is super upset that the poor, helpless, Latina demographic has been sucked into voting for Republicans, even though it has been calling conservatives racist for decades. [...] It can't be that the Left has lurched radically toward woke Marxism.  Nope.  These Latinas must be appealing to "extreme" politics.

White CNN Host: 'Why Have You Never Seen Clarence Thomas at an NBA Game?'.  Rex Chapman, a former NBA player who had a short-lived show on the short-lived CNN+ streaming service suggested that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is a "black white supremacist" in the wake of the Dobbs ruling, and seemed to suggest Thomas wasn't authentically black because he's never seen him attend an NBA game.  Chapman first shared a video on Twitter of a 2018 graduation event at Christendom College that showed Thomas and the son of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, among other graduates.  "Not another person of color in the picture..." Chapman observed.  "I think the thing I think is most funny about this is that these white kids and their parents view this as their entry into black America."

The Left's Racist Reaction to Dobbs v. Jackson.  Progressives like nothing better than to lecture conservatives on racism, accusing us of reveling in white privilege and voting Republican due to a deeply held aversion to people of color.  They have, of course, absolved themselves of all sins racial by claiming to be "woke."  But the mendacity of that pose has been laid bare by the barrage of openly racist attacks on Clarence Thomas pursuant to last week's Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.  Justice Samuel Alito authored the ruling, and it was supported by a majority of the Court, but progressive rage has focused on Thomas.  And it hasn't been subtle.  Social media contained countless attacks on Justice Thomas that prominently featured the "N-word."  These verbal assaults have by no means been limited to anonymous trolls.  The Post Millennial reports that lily-white pollster John Corbett tweeted, "Clarence Thomas:  Just another dumb field n-----."  Nor have Democratic luminaries failed to pile on.

Calling Justice Thomas 'Uncle Clarence' exposes the rotten sham that is the progressive movement.  A festering rot of racial animosity exists in our society that we willfully ignore socially and politically.  It is a rot that eats away at the flesh of our civil society and spoils the greatness of our multicultural nation.  Progressives continually tell us we have blinders on when it comes to racism in American society.  They've shoved their ideological solution of anti-racism to force us to "deconstruct" what they believe is an inherently deep-seated racist nation.  I, as a black American, am supposed to rejoice in the presence of our self-appointed saviors, but I peeked behind the veil and saw who they really are.  Understandably, detractors of the decision have found themselves angry and anguished at last week's Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade.  Six judges found it necessary to overturn, but just one has been elected the face of all political animus:  Clarence Thomas, who didn't even write the court's opinion.

Mayra Flores Says Yes, Nancy Pelosi Shoved Her Child During Photo-Op.  When I first saw the video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appearing to shove the little daughter of Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) with her elbow during a photo-op for her swearing-in, I thought perhaps it was a manipulated video or maybe the angles weren't clear.  But then I saw a video taken from C-Span that seemed to show the same thing.  [Video clip]  As we reported, Nancy looks at her, moves her elbow, and the child moves to her right.  Now Mayra Flores herself is confirming it.

Nancy Pelosi disdainfully elbows away Rep. Mayra Flores's pinnafore-clad Mexican-American daughters.  Democrats for years have been promoting the notion that Republicans are congenitally racist, regulur Bull Connors. [...] It might sound like an old stereotype...  But then there's Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Speaker of the House, who demonstrated Friday who the racists are.  The occasion was the congressional swearing in of newly elected Texas Rep. Mayra Flores, who brought her two adorable daughters with her, both wearing little white dresses, the one standing next to Pelosi actually wearing a pinnafore.  Somehow, Pelosi didn't think they were cute — not in the least — the way some white leftists fall all over themselves do, cooing at children of a different skin color.  Pelosi reacted this way:  [Video clip]

Video Reveals The Real Nancy Pelosi As She Elbows A Little Girl While Her Conservative Latina Mother Is Being Sworn In.  [Scroll down past the Tweets]  The mainstream media was busy getting these old Tweets from several years ago however they weren't interested in showing a video where Nancy Pelosi elbows one of Rep. Mayra Flores children as she was being sworn in with her family present.  Nancy is clearly upset that a woman, who was born in Mexico, became a USA citizen the legal way, and was voted into office by the people.

Left-wing pollster John Corbett calls Justice Thomas the N-word on Twitter.  In a June 25 tweet, Canadian pollster John Corbett wrote, "Clarence Thomas:  Just another dumb field ------" from an account that was almost immediately suspended. [...] Corbett's last significant contribution to politics was in 2021 when he wrote several predictions for the upcoming election in the Toronto Star.  Some of his forecasts were, "There is no longer a Conservative majority of seats in Canada.  That dream died with the last Progressive Conservative." and "The Conservatives no longer have a path to victory in this election."  Corbett's racist and hateful remark about Justice Thomas illustrates contempt but also reflects a Leftist trend highly visible on Twitter.

How liberal policies have killed black communities.  Michael Pack:  You have talked a little today about how life in the black community has not been improved by many well-intentioned social programs.  Do you think, in some sense, it is worse than when you grew up?  Clarence Thomas:  It's a disaster.  When I grew up, you had family, you didn't have drugs, you didn't have gang-banging.  You could walk down the street.  There was a change in our society.  I think that these programs certainly had an impact.  Just go back to Savannah and take a look around you.  Our worst fears were realized.  We didn't want to be right; we wanted to be wrong.  It wasn't about winning an argument.  No, we wanted to lose the argument.  We did not want the damage to occur; that's why we were involved.  I don't particularly like public life; I never wanted to be in public life.  I'd like to go to football games.  I'd like not to make decisions about other people's lives, but what drags you into it is when you see these principles being undermined, which leads to such destruction.  The policies destroy people, and, ultimately, I think, we're going to destroy the very thing that allows us to have liberty and to have a free society.

Van Jones Leaves CNN Anchors Stunned After Spitting Truth About the Democrat Party.  [Scroll down]  As Jones says, the modern Democrat Party is just "weird."  He brings up the idea of calling Hispanics "Latinx," noting that normal, middle class people have never met a "Latinx."  Nor have they met anyone who identifies with the acronym "BIPOC," which I had to google in order to find out what it means.  Apparently, "black, indigenous, people of color" didn't have enough identifiers already and needed more.  The left has so fractured the country that it's impossible to keep up with all the various groups they've created.  Further, those pushing such nonsense are, as Jones points out, predominantly over-educated and wealthy.  They are in no way connected to the normal struggles of everyday life, and their lack of religious observance has left them with no feeling of purpose.  In order to make themselves feel better, they've decided to create victim groups to "help."  That's how you get the stupidity that is "Latinx," a name with which essentially no Hispanic people identify.  [Video clip]

I have a very different definition of who the white supremacists are.  What exactly is "white supremacy"? People these days seem to have their own definition for this ever-present phrase, molding it into whatever suits their particular agenda.  Since it appears to be fluid, I'd like to present another definition.  White supremacy is a belief system that holds black people as continuous victims in a white-majority society, deeming them incapable without the benevolence of white people or the government and constantly portraying them as impoverished, weak-willed, overly emotional, mentally fragile and without fortitude.  It fuels the idea that black people constantly need a helping hand because they will always be marginalized and incapable of doing for themselves otherwise.  This type of white supremacy is hard to recognize because it is masked by benevolent ideological saviorism.  This saviorism pretends that rare, racially charged, heavily publicized incidents are commonplace to reinforce fear narratives that legitimize the need for black people's saviors to exist.

The Democrats' Quest for Gun Control May Harm Black Americans Most of All.  Recently, Joy Behar beclowned herself on The View in typical fashion, this time by suggesting that Americans would begin clamoring for more gun regulations "once Black people get guns in this country."  Black Americans certainly do have guns in this country.  It boggles the mind how someone could be so incredibly ignorant of a fact so simple, but we gun rights advocates are not only aware of it, we are seeking to preserve their right to keep and bear arms.  All Americans, including those housewives who are looking to Joy Behar for civics lessons, should know that the relationship between government and the right to gun ownership has a unique history for Black Americans, and only a White liberal living in a gated community could be so obtuse as to think that this history suggests that giving the government more power to regulate gun ownership among citizens is a good idea.

David Hogg:  Putting More Cops in Schools May Endanger Non-White Students.  While speaking at the June 11 March for Our Lives rally, gun control proponent David Hogg suggested that putting more cops in schools may actually endanger students do not have white skin.  Hogg suggested that a common response to school shootings is to put more police in schools.  He then claimed, "Putting more cops in schools hasn't worked."  He cited two examples to bolster his viewpoint:  First he pointed to the armed officer who stood outside Parkland instead of entering, even as the attack was carried out.  Then he made claims about the police response to Uvalde.  Hogg did not mention the numerous times armed resource officers have saved lives on campus.  For example, on December 13, 2013, an 18-year-old with a shotgun entered Denver-area Arapahoe High School and had to face the fact that an armed resource officer was coming for him.  The Denver Post noted that the resource officer was a deputy sheriff who, hearing a gunshot, ran toward the gunman.  As the resource officer closed in, the attacker took his own life, ending the attack.  The Arapahoe attack lasted 80 seconds.

The dystopian state of our nation.  [Scroll down]  The Democrat party long ago joined hands with the forces of the aforementioned evil.  Most of those homicide deaths are Black-on-Black murders in Black neighborhoods.  Do the Democrats care?  Not one bit!  Those Black victims of the criminal climate the left has engendered are of no concern to leftists.  They are essentially cannon fodder in their quest for power.  But let a Black man die in a confrontation with a White cop, and they will make a federal case out of it with the media's gleeful encouragement.

FDR, Racist President.  A 2021 C-SPAN survey of over 100 presidential historians ranked Franklin Roosevelt as our third greatest president, behind only Washington and Lincoln (but watch out, FDR is number three with a bullet).  Would FDR rank so high, however, if his racism was considered?  Of course, branding someone today as racist is one the most powerful cudgels that can be wielded.  But the racism epithet has been appropriated almost exclusively by the left and, not surprisingly, left-of-center racism is rarely considered.  So, if FDR was a racist, why does he rank so high?  It starts with the myth that he ended the Great Depression with his big government, big spending policies.  If these are the main reasons for his high rank, the facts show he failed miserably.

The Left Despises People of Color.  Under the guise of caring and concern, the Left continues its assault on Black people, aka People of Color.  First, it began with substandard education to Black children and the control of the school systems by the teachers' unions, who shill for the Democrat party.  Not surprising, these very children could not compete academically because they were never given the basic tools to do so.  But the seed was planted fostering the implicit bias that Blacks were simply not capable of doing well.  So, the next step was to institute affirmative action.  After 60 years, it has been discovered, for example, that while these very students could have done well in second tier law schools, far too many could not compete in the elite schools and dropped out.  The chaos that now describes American education has created ignorance of a magnitude that is terrifying.  Of course, it has affected the Caucasian students, but it has only worsened things for the Black students.

How the Democrats Defraud Black America.  The Democratic Party was associated with the Ku Klux Klan and segregation for most of the 20th Century.  But in the 1960s it made a hard turn to the left.  It currently claims to act in the best interests of the Black community in a noble battle against racism and White Supremacy.  But in example after example, the Democratic party instead causes great damage and permanent harm to these same people that it claims to represent.  The case against the Democratic Party is overwhelming.  Defund the Police may have been the most counterproductive campaign in American political history.  Its stated purpose was to save and protect Black lives from violent suppression in the United States.  Yet Defund the Police is soaked in the blood of Black Americans.  Murder rates have shot up over 30 percent since 2020 when Defund took hold in our cities.  Many experts believe the movement has directly and undeniably caused the unnecessary deaths of thousands of young people of color.

Joe Biden and Racial Demagoguery.  Joe Biden has had a long history of racist outbursts.  Can we even remember them all?  The "put y'all back in chains" insults to an audience of black professionals, his dismissal of black interviewers variously as "you ain't black" or "junkie," his he-man racialist Corn Pop mythologies, his recent condescending reference to a black professional as "boy," and on and on.  The Left has always contextualized his racial outbursts in the same fashion his decades-long creepy touching, sexual harassment, grabbing, and blowing into the hair and ears of young women and teens were always "just Joe being Joe."  So it was ironic but predictable that Biden went to Buffalo on Tuesday [5/17/2022] to leverage the recent carnage from the deranged, eco-fascist, racist, and insane lethal mass shooter of 11 African-Americans. [...] For Biden, as his midterm rendezvous looms ominously, the Buffalo shooter was useful in smearing his own political opponents.  So Biden saw a trip to Buffalo as an opportunity, in a way other mass shootings were not, and made a rare excursion out of his secluded compound.

Black and Brown Pro-Lifers Endure Racial Attacks From White Abortion Activists At Weekend Rallies.  A century ago, the founder of Planned Parenthood (Margaret Sanger) worked with white supremacists to concoct a vicious racial targeting campaign (the "Negro Project") with the goal of using birth control and sterilization (including forced sterilization) to reduce populations she and her friends deemed "unfit" to live.  Today, as then, anti-life activists want to throw abortion at minority women rather than be bothered to find solutions to their real problems of poverty, relationships, healthcare, and childcare.  But the depths of racism and discrimination Sanger's movement would ultimately reach would have likely shocked even her.  This weekend, that racism was on full display as pro-life advocates — including people of color — counter-protested abortion rallies across the nation.

Hispanic GOP Candidate Says Democrats Have Made Things Worse For Latino Voters.  Republican Congressional candidate Carolina Serrano said Hispanic and Latino lives have gotten worse after years of voting for Democrats, while Republican gains among the base reveal a potential realignment ahead of the 2022 and 2024 elections.  There are a record 103 Hispanic GOP candidates running for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, including Serrano, a Colombian American woman running to be the Republican candidate in Nevada's 1st Congressional District.  Serrano said former President Donald Trump's presidency contributed to the wider trend of Hispanic and Latino voters shifting to the Republican Party.  "Once Donald Trump came into office, he was kind of ubiquitous on news stations.  You couldn't really get away from him," Serrano told The Daily Caller News Foundation.  "For me, I started paying attention to what he was saying, and to be honest I'd never really seen a politician before champion America or American citizens or really want to put American citizens first so that first grabbed my attention."

Latinx Americans Are Ditching Dems, In Part Because of This Latinx Thing.  It's an absolute delight to watch the Democrats go all-in on Hispanic voters and then, in the way one might expect from pasty ruling caste goofs, unwittingly do everything in their power to make Hispanic voters despise them.  And the results are undeniable — Latinx voters not only hate being called "Latinx" but hate pretty much everything else that the Dems are doing.  The faculty lounge set that sets the party's agenda is utterly oblivious.  They don't know any Hispanics — except maybe ones they hire to work around the mansion — and the Dems have certainly never thought to ask Hispanic Americans what they want.  Instead, the condescending commies told their Hispanic constituents what the left wanted Hispanics to want.  Spending that created inflation.  Soft on crime.  Open borders — nope, Hispanic Americans are having none of that.

Why a Federal Ban on Menthols Is a Minefield for Biden.  In the era of Black Lives Matter, does the Biden administration really want to take on prominent activists like Al Sharpton and Ben Crump—and make lives potentially harder for Black men, all because the government says it's in their best interest?  There is a cost-benefit analysis to be had between good public health policy and the dynamics of criminal justice reform as Democrats weigh the FDA's proposed ban on menthol cigarettes, which will disproportionately affect the Black community.  The question is whether the Biden administration can successfully perform this balancing act—and win over Black Democratic skeptics.

COVID Proves It:  Democrats Couldn't Care Less About Minorities Or The Poor.  New research reveals the enormous harm that pandemic school shutdowns had on students, and that minorities and the poor suffered the most, especially in places run by Democrats.  To understand the impact of school shutdowns on learning, Harvard University's Center for Education Policy Research compiled testing data on 2.1 million students in 49 states to see how school closures and the use of remote "learning" affected academic achievement.  The findings are deeply troubling.  Closing schools "had profound consequences for student achievement."  Worse, it widened economic and racial education gaps.  The researchers found that "high-poverty schools were more likely to go remote and the consequences for student achievement were more negative when they did so."

Joe Biden is So Senile That Nurse Jill Has to Point Out his Granddaughter.  Joe and Jill Biden on Thursday [5/5/2022] hosted a Cinco de Mayo reception with Beatriz Gutiérrez Mueller de López Obrador, the wife of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.  As usual, Joe Biden's speech was full of gaffes.  Biden insulted Latinos at the end of his Cinco de Mayo speech by saying this about Mexico:  "It's not our backyard, it's our front yard[.]"  "US speechwriters should avoid any reference to a "yard" when talking about Mexico/LatAm.  The metaphor in Spanish isn't flattering." Editor of Mexico Today said.

Things Get Tense After Woke House Dem Demands Proof — and Gets It — That Leftists Hate Clarence Thomas.  There are few types of people "woke" leftists and media figures hate more than members of so-called "minority" voting blocs who refuse to toe the Democrat party victimhood line, people who choose to think differently which, last I checked, was supposed to be okay to do in America.  Unfortunately, the group most often on the receiving end of the left's/media's hateful vitriol when they don't fall in line are black conservatives, something we've seen play out repeatedly the last several decades, with the more notable examples on a national level being in how despicably they've treated Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), both of who are routinely hit with vile accusations that they are "Uncle Toms" among the numerous other derogatory racial smears used by radical agitators and their government allies to describe black people who don't view white people as the enemy.  Incredibly, one woke House Democrat tried to give off the impression this week that he was completely unaware members of his party hated Justice Thomas on the basis that he was a black conservative.  Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who represents New York's 8th Congressional District, [...]

FDA writes rules to prohibit menthol cigs.  The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday issued rules that will prohibit menthol-flavored cigarettes and any flavor other than tobacco in cigars.  The administration said the ban was necessary because the minty flavor of menthol ameliorates the harsh edge of tobacco and appeals to young people.  There is also a heavy racial component to the debate, with government data showing 85% of Black smokers use menthol cigarettes, compared to about 30% of white smokers.  "The proposed rules would help prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers and help adult smokers quit," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said.  "Additionally, the proposed rules represent an important step to advance health equity by significantly reducing tobacco-related health disparities."

Blacks complain about Biden's open borders, and Democrats' foundations silence them.  [Scroll down]  There's no thinking, no debate, no exchange of ideas that's going on in the left.  The left takes its talking points from the "program officers" of far-left money behemoths such as George Soros's Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Omidyar Foundation, or a few Silicon Valley-ish others.  That's why all of a sudden, borders must be open, gay marriage is no longer open to debate, transgender indoctination is de rigeur, and greenie nonsense and critical race theory permeate all fields of public policy no matter how tenuous the connection.  Anyone, including anyone on the left, who might just prefer a more nuanced interpretation of the proclamation or be concerned about cost-benefit analysis, is dubbed an instant bigot and all the foundation cash upon which the little magazine, or the university endowment, or the activist organization is dependent, is swiftly cut off.  That keeps them in line, and the "program officers" in firm control.

Massive increase in Black Americans murdered was result of defund police movement: experts.  Support of Black Lives Matter and calls to defund the police reverberated across America in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, igniting social justice protests and riots at a time when the coronavirus and lockdowns upended society in unprecedented ways.  What was left in 2020's wake was a massive increase in the number of murders, dealing a disproportionate blow to Black Americans.  "Certainly, the protests and riots mid-2020 after the death of George Floyd followed a pattern of spiking violence that we've seen following past viral police incidents, such as the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray.  This pattern has been termed the 'Ferguson Effect': police pull back while violent crime spikes precipitously," Hannah Meyers, director of the policing and public safety initiative at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital.

Who Suffers the Most From America's Crime Wave?  Violent crime, like the price of gas, is rising.  Not everyone is experiencing this crime wave in the same way.  For some, it's a distant issue experienced by other people somewhere else.  For others, it's a daily life-threatening concern.  We parsed the FBI's crime data from 2011 to 2020 (the most recent data available) and found that African Americans bear an increasingly large share of the harm from crime.  African American offenders, meanwhile, are committing an increasingly large share of violent crimes.  For other racial groups, the numbers are either decreasing (in the case of both white victims and offenders), increasing by much smaller amounts, or holding constant.

Team Left Twitter has found a new successful Black man to attack.  Last week, we showed you attacks levied by Team Left against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, including racist tweets referring to him as "Uncle Thomas."  This week, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) is the latest target of the left's racial twitter hatred, with some referring to him as "Uncle Tim Scott" after his vote against Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination.  [Numerous tweets]

Elitist Mayor Pete Called Out For Bailing On Black Americans, And His Response Couldn't Be More Tone Deaf.  Mayor Pete is a walking meme at this point.  He was not only in over his head as a small-town mayor, where critics like to point out he couldn't manage basic issues like potholes, but he was also sorely indifferent to the plight of black residents.  Under his watch, violent crime spiked to record highs, and his response was to fire a black police chief, a move not unnoticed by the woke, identity politicking left.  As a failed presidential candidate who only got to the national stage because of his publicized — and wholly unimportant — sexual attraction to men, he neverthelss agined enougns team to parlay his empty resume into a sweet cabinet position.  He proceeded to disappear for the next year while Demorat-created supply chain issues rocked his supposed kingdom.  He also called inanimate roads and bridges racist.

Understanding the Progressive Mind.  The money progressives rob from the nation's bank will be redistributed according to the dictates of "social justice" — a measure based on their social whims.  In the name of social justice, for example, the Biden regime has allocated $7.5 billion to put a black female astronaut on the moon because she is black and female.  This is a preposterous virtue signal that violates the very spirit of America's color- and gender-blind Constitution.  But a government that has no respect for the Constitution or the nation's laws needn't be bothered by that.

The Smearing of Clarence Thomas.  Democrats should not get away with their shameless political gambit to force Justice Clarence Thomas's recusal from Supreme Court cases based on the political activism of his wife, Ginni Thomas.  Supreme Court justices are not even subject to disqualification over their own activities that bear directly on cases.  This never upsets Democrats when the justices have been appointed by Democratic presidents.

Former Clarence Thomas Clerk:  Judges Are Never Asked To Recuse Themselves Over Political Views.  It's so predictable.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has now threatened Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign or else face impeachment.  Leftists in Congress and the media hyperventilate over every tidbit showing that Justice Thomas's wife, Ginni, is involved in national conservative politics — most recently, that she pushed for integrity in the 2020 election.  This isn't news, and it has nothing to do with Justice Thomas's ability to be a fair and impartial jurist.  Yet the Left breathlessly deploys false and double standards because they are desperate to attack the justice who has been faithful to the United States Constitution they are constantly trying to hijack for their own political agenda.  In a country based on self-government, citizens must be informed about what their government is doing.  Because the media won't report this nonstory accurately, here are the facts. [...]

Far Left Boston Mayor Delivers Publicly Racist Comments.  Every caricature of extreme leftism is personified by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.  A few days ago, while delivering St. Patrick's Day remarks to Boston officials at a celebratory breakfast, the exceptionally unprofessional Mayor Wu made some remarkably racist comments about white people.  [Video clip]

These Congressman Did Not Deserve What Joe Biden Said About Them During His Texas Visit.  [Scroll down]  [I]t's what Biden said about Reps.  Colin Allred (D-TX), Marc Veasey (D-TX), and Jake Ellzey (R-TX) is rather... problematic.  Biden said that two of the congressmen, Veasey and Allred, look like they can play basketball; both men are black.  He added that Congressman Ellzey looks like a dude who would bomb you.  Now, Ellzey was a Navy fighter pilot who fought in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  If this was a joke, it missed its target by several hundredmiles.

Bill to create first-of-its-kind missing Indigenous persons alert passes WA senate.  A bill creating an alert system for missing indigenous women and people within Washington passed the state Senate.  The bill, sponsored by Rep. Debra Lekanoff from Skagit County, would create an early alert system that would distribute information about the missing person, similar to a Silver Alert. [...] Indigenous women and people go missing more than four times than white women, according to research conducted by the Urban Indian Health Institute in Seattle.

The Editor says...
 [#1] This is yet another government program that treats certain classes of people as more important than others.  Each of the fifty states is prohibited "from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law."  Is there a reason indigenous people are in need of more protection than others?  [#2] What's the reason to use the phrase indigenous women and people, instead of indigenous women or indigenous people?  Are women not people?  Does the word people exclude women?

Seattle school board to hold segregated meetings to pick new school superintendent.  Issaquah School District, located in the Seattle suburbs, has decided to hold segregated-by-race meetings to pick its new school superintendent. [...] In many other places in America this school would either face a quick recall or be voted out in the next election.  Don't bet on it, as it is located in the Seattle suburbs where the leftist big tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft have offices.  The population in this region is all-in on this bigoted policy, being generally white, upper-middle class, and leftist, with a generally contemptuous view of others, either because they are not Democrats or because they aren't white, upper-middle class, and leftist.  As such, they are eagerly returning the Democratic Party to its KKK roots, instituting segregation and Jim Crow laws.  That those laws might be aimed at oppressing whites, not minorities, makes no difference.  In the end the laws will oppress everyone while making minorities look like fools.

Washington Post Slurs Best American Jurist Ever For 'Thinking Like A White Man'.  The Washington Post's attempt to smear Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for thinking like a white man is a completely incorrect interpretation of the justice's legal legacy.  In an article published on Wednesday [2/16/2022], The Washington Post, which has a history of being racist towards black conservatives, claimed that Thomas is a "Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives."  This gross mischaracterization by WaPo "reporters" Cleve R. Wootson Jr. and Marianna Sotomayor quickly earned the wrath of conservatives on Twitter prompting the corporate media to issue a "clarification."  "A previous version of this story imprecisely referred to Justice Clarence Thomas's opinions as often reflecting the thinking of White conservatives, rather than conservatives broadly.  That reference has been removed," the update at the top of the article states.

WaPo: Clarence Thomas' "rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives".  As columnist Jeff Jacoby put it, why not just call Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom?  This bon mot in a reported analysis about Rep. James Clyburn's credibility doesn't even qualify as a dog whistle.  It's as subtle as an air horn.

Continued violence:  A history of Democrats vs Black Americans.  The violent crime plaguing the Democrat-controlled Black communities is nothing new.  For over two hundred years, violence has been a mechanism of control wielded against Black Americans by Democrat party leadership. [...] Democrats know they cannot survive without 90% of the Black vote, and if they lose it, even for one year, they'd never get it back.  So, they went to Defcon 1, unleashing Black Lives Matters and Antifa in the ghettos of the Black inner-city with one order:  BURN IT DOWN!!  With a mandate to ensure that the Black middle class never rises again.  This insidious crime wave in the Black ghettos is part of that continuous effort designed by the Democrat party Leadership to keep Black Americans cowed, subjugated, defeated, controlled, and voting 90% for the Democrat party.  Democrats consistently boast about their belief in science, especially psychology.  This approach of wielding violence as a tool of control is purely psychological with a predetermined end.

Black History and the Democrats.  The Democrat Party has a long history of dividing the country along racial lines.  In the recent past, Democrats made election-year promises to improve the African American's life but soon forgot the promises after they received their votes.  Today, African Americans and other people of color are recognizing that the Democrat's mouths and hearts are often traveling in different directions. [...] Democrats today are still using race to foment hatred, and when it is convenient, they attack the police, the protectors of those living in the most dangerous cities.  The party's history is marked with racism.  They were the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and the Ku Klux Klan, yet they claim the Republican party to be racist.  Politics is the reason for their racist actions then and now.  They change with the political winds, apologizing for their previous views to get votes.

Black Americans Sue New York City for 'Racially Discriminatory' Policy Allowing Foreign Nationals to Vote.  Black Americans in New York City, New York, have filed a lawsuit against the city for giving municipal voting rights to nearly a million foreign nationals.  As Breitbart News has chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan last month that allows more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.  Now, four black Americans and New York City residents — Phyllis Coachman, Deroy Murdock, Katherine James, and Anthony Gilhuys — have filed suit with the help of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).

The Democrats Make Their Own Racism Explicit.  Too often, Republicans have lacked the spine to call the Democrats out on their racialist policies.  This time, Congressman Clyburn has made the job easier by demanding and getting the president to make the party's racism blatantly explicit.  Biden's defenders have such an absurdly weak case, they humiliate themselves in the effort.

Biden's Supreme Court Nomination Reveals Democrat Contempt for Black Americans.  If anyone doubted the contempt White Democrats, Black Democrats, and the mainstream media hold for Black Americans, I would refer you to President Bidens' announcement regarding his Supreme Court nominee and their giddy reaction.  Every president before Biden had proudly professed that each of their nominees for the Court was the most qualified jurist available in America.  With his declaration that his next nominee to the Supreme Court will be a Black woman chosen because of her race and gender, not her qualifications, President Joe Biden reinforced a 220-year Democrat Party message to everyone in the world:  Do not be confused — Black people remain inferior.  They cannot achieve because of merit. [...] Since the 1800s, it has been understood if the Democrats have any hope of maintaining power in the United States, this condescending line of thinking must be reinforced in the Black community.  The Black community must be made to believe that they can have nothing, achieve nothing, and do nothing without the grace and mercy of the White Democrat demi-gods.

DeSantis Shocker:  It's Not OK to Hate Whites.  Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing a bill through the Florida legislature to put a stop to the modern pedagogy of making little girls cry because they're white.  The bill, called "Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act (WOKE)," prohibits classroom instruction that contradicts these concepts:  "No race is inherently superior to another race"; "An individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex"; "An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race."  The left has been having a sneer-fest over the proposed law, howling that it protects "white people" from feeling "uncomfortable."  SNOWFLAKES! [...] A bill prohibiting the teaching of race hatred will primarily prevent the teaching of white hatred for the simple reason that it's the only race we're allowed to hate.  Not merely allowed to hate, but taught to hate, encouraged to hate, paid to hate.  We're now entering the sixth decade of open, widespread, official discrimination against white people on the basis of their race.  Even the Asians suing Harvard dare not stress the humungous advantage given to blacks and Hispanics.  No, their beef is about white applicants getting preferential treatment over Asians.

The Democrats' Voting Rights Agenda Isn't for Us.  It's for Them.  Like the one plaguing shelves in grocery stores across America, there is a supply shortage of racism in the country — but when it comes to the leaders of the Democratic Party, the demand remains high.  The Democrats seem to think that the rallying cry of racism is essential to galvanizing their most loyal demographic, Black Americans.  And that's how they have been talking about their new voting rights bill, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.  President Biden himself has called opposition to the bill "Jim Crow 2.0." [...] Because here's the ugly truth:  The Democrats' agenda, specifically this new voting rights bill, is not actually about helping us Black voters or even American public.  It's about helping the Democratic Party establish and maintain political power.  It's not about protecting Black voters' right to vote, but about protecting what the Democrats' see as their right to those voters — in exchange for nothing.

It's OK to Be Racist If You're the Left Pushing COVID-19 Mandates.  Following the lead of other leftist-run cities, the District of Columbia just instituted a new COVID-19 mandate that requires anyone who wants to dine at a restaurant, go to a movie, or workout at a gym to show proof of vaccination.  But a big part of the story that many in the media seem to ignore is that in this majority-black city, run by a black mayor, the D.C. government is also requiring people to show a photo ID to prove that they are the actual owner of the vaccination card they present.  Hold on a minute!  Wasn't it just a few short months ago — as the battles over election reform raged in the states — that we were told requiring photo ID to vote was racist and discriminatory because black folks couldn't get IDs?  In fact, it was considered so racist that businesses, sports teams, and celebrities boycotted entire states.  Now, by the left's own definition, the District of Columbia just instituted a whole new level of systemic racism.  And it's certainly affecting the black population — the District's largest racial group — disproportionately.

Aussie Premier Has An Aboriginal Woman Translate COVID Vax Shilling To 'Her' People, She Ends Up Repeating What He Says Bascially.  Australians were treated to a new level of dystopian absurdity this morning when Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan released an ad campaign for Covid vaccination.  In it, McGowan has his Covid vaccination message translated from English into ... English by the Aboriginal woman beside him.  Yes, it's basically English, spoken with a little more Crocidile Dundee dialect.  [Video clip]

Woke White Leftists Hardest Hit as Latino Groups Set to Give 'Latinx' Term a Fiery Death.  It's become common knowledge even in the most feverish of left-wing fever swamps that white progressives in reality do not [care] what the minority groups who they claim to want to represent and protect really think about the issues facing Americans of all backgrounds every day.  We've seen this on a number of "woke" fronts over the last decade or so, with one recent example being the prog left's obsession with canceling the Washington Redskins, excuse me, Washington Football Team because they previously refused to back down from using a name that appeared to primarily offend white liberals and not most Native Americans (and by "Native Americans" I mean actual ones, not Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren).  Though the NFL team eventually caved and then some after the activist left wore them down, one group that has made it clear that they won't back down from a similar and more current fight are various Latino organizations, who are now actively pushing to effectively cancel the use of the Dem/media-endorsed term "Latinx" in official documents and the like because pretty much no one in the Latino community cares for it.

Dumbing Down Minority Students.  For years now, the educational establishment and the Democrat Party have colluded to damage pride of accomplishment within the black community.  Now that the Democrat Party is essentially a Marxist outlet, the drive for weakening American children's education is on full display.  In fact, "dumbing down education [is the] key to dismantling America."  It is the communists' dream to destroy the American dream.  As the debate over Critical Race Theory has emerged, Richard L. Cravatts, Ph.D., explains "the insidious nature of this radical new ideology now being taught to American schoolchildren and the myriad ways in which public school students are being groomed to carry out the agendas of the Left."  It is also ultimately the pathway to pit white people against black people. [...] And in perfect lockstep, the latest example can be found in the Arlington County School Board in Virginia, which has introduced a proposal that would eradicate the traditional grading system.  The justification for this change is that "certain basic standards — like having late penalties — could potentially harm poor and minority children who they claim may not have access to resources necessary to complete assignments on time."  Or "students should not be graded on homework assignments because the fear of making mistakes will have a negative impact on their learning process."

Why Would Hispanics Drop the Left?  A recent Wall Street Journal poll reported that if the 2022 midterms were held currently, some 37 percent of Hispanic/Latino voters would likely support the Republican candidate.  An equal number polled support for the Democrats.  Perhaps key is the 22 percent who remain "undecided" and thereby illustrate that the traditionally Democratic Hispanic vote is now up for grabs.  Remember that just a year ago about 60 percent of Hispanics voted against Donald Trump and Republican candidates in general.  And by about the same margin, according to exit polls, they voted not to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom — about the same ratio as the white vote.  Still, a 60-40 percent pro-Newsom margin among mostly Democratic Hispanics was striking for its erosion from a once lockstep Democratic constituency.

Kamala Harris tells 'ain't black' black deejay he's also 'Republican' for asking inconvenient questions.  [Scroll down]  It's shocking to hear these kinds of things coming out of the Bidenites.  They act as though they're entitled to black votes and anyone who asks them questions gets the 'white' and 'Republican' label thrown at them.  All I'm waiting for now is for one of them to call him an "Oreo."  It's perfectly emblematic as to how Democrats treat black voters.  Ask a question, and you "ain't black."  Ask another question and you're "talking like a Republican." Apparently you aren't allowed to ask any questions at all if you happen to be black.  [Stuff] like this is precisely why black voters have already started moving over to the Republican Party.  Maybe Charlamagne should be thinking about the red pill, too.  Charlamagne get interviews with these characters because of his huge reach and influence in the black community.  Now he's been insulted twice by the Bidenites.  If Charlamagne doesn't have the self respect to walk away from these Democrats who treat his questions as occasions for assaults on his identity, you can bet that many of his black listeners will.

In Politics, You Can Never Admit You Were Wrong.  [Scroll down]  What is going on is that the left's over/under politics of blaming the middle class for everything that goes wrong with the underclass and solving every problem with a gubmint program has failed.  The left's politics has Made Things Worse.  But our liberal friends can't admit it.  The fact that black males commit over 50 percent of the murders in the U.S. is not because of white supremacy.  It is because of the liberal politics that makes blacks into helpless victims that can't help themselves.  It is because over/under politics that enslaves blacks on the liberal plantation instead of encouraging them to get [themselves] into the middle class, has failed.  But our liberal friends can't admit it.  The fact that blacks do very poorly at math in gubmint inner-city schools is not because math is racist.  It is because the schools [are bad], black inner-city families [are bad], and fatherless boys [are bad].  It is because wise administrative government by the educated class [is bad].  But our liberal friends can't admit it.

Fool's Errand:  Beto O'Rourke chasing down the Texas Latino vote.  Does anything say "out of touch" better than the Democrats running Beto O'Rourke as its prime candidate for governor of Texas?  The hopeless stunt is supposedly all about O'Rourke's appeal to Latino voters.  He has a Spanish nickname.  He speaks Spanish.  What Latino could refuse?  It's incredibly cynical and insulting to Latino voters, whom Texas Democrats consider key to winning back the governorship.  That cynicism was obvious enough in this statement by a Texas Latino GOP observer:  "He uses Beto like he's our Mexican tío, but you're not," he said.  "Just because you put the name out there doesn't mean I'm going to invite you to my house like you're my tío."

A Brief Guide to Leftist Destruction.  Like the Democratic Party historically, the left is racist.  And it is so in precisely the way the word was always used — the Left believes in black inferiority.  That is why leftists advocate lowering standards for blacks.  That is why they advocate policies that always result in more blacks dying at the hands of other blacks.  That is why they believe the state must take care of blacks more than any other group.  That is why left-wing policies, from the Great Society to today, have destroyed so much of black life, especially its family life — and they don't care.

Biden's travel ban on Southern African countries is unscientific by any standards and racist by Democrat standards.  [Scroll down]  We thus revisit an age-old rule that a Democrat can never be racist.  It doesn't matter that since its founding in 1829, the Democrat party has fought every civil rights initiative.  The Democrats defended slavery, which led to the Civil War, and even opposed Reconstruction.  The Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan.  The Democrats imposed segregation and fought vehemently to retain the disgraceful practice.

Build Back Racism.  In June, I wrote that Republicans need to embrace the culture war and loudly oppose critical race theory.  I said we need to "lean" into the subject and show the organic movement of parents who are concerned about their kids' education that "we have your back."  I said Republicans need to make clear that America should be a colorblind society where individuals are judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin.  Glenn Youngkin clearly heeded that advice.  And it's part of what earned him a historic victory in Virginia three weeks ago and why he's governor-elect.  Democrats wholly embraced critical race theory.  Youngkin's opponent, Terry McAuliffe, campaigned with Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, who penned a threatening op-ed for CNN warning parents that "you can't stop" teachers from using concepts borrowed from critical race theory.  It's vital to ask why they did that.  Why would Democrats embrace such a divisive ideology that instructs its adherents to judge individuals based on the color of their skin?  The answer is simple:  Democrats cynically believe they can create a coalition of minority voters by telling them they're victims and "oppressed."

The Jonestowning of America.  Jonestown is much more relevant to what is going on in America now than the current revisionist history of Jamestown embraced by the radicals. [...] The Jonestown model is also the model for the Democrat Party which, like Jones, lures in upscale whites by playing on their idealism and guilt, humiliating them to keep them from seeing that the whole thing is a scam, and using the black people it lured in with promises of a social safety net to claim moral superiority.  Add in a streak of terror and thuggery to keep everyone in line, along with a dash of sexual sadism to compromise and destroy the moral integrity of core cult members, and you have utopia.  Exploiting racism was central to the appeal of the Peoples Temple as it is to the Democrats.  The Peoples Temple used the moral drama of racism to create a racial conflict, playing on the guilt of white people and the fears of black people to divide them, threatening apocalypse and offering redemption through socialism.  Racism was the source of Jones' power.

Kamala Harris camp leaks to press about racism among the Bidenites.  As poll numbers sink for Joe Biden and fall even lower for Kamala Harris, it was only a matter of time before the fast-sinking USS Kamala started firing "racism" projectiles against the slightly less swiftly sinking USS Brandon. [...] That's about what one can expect of someone who's floundering in her job, has no sense of self-sufficiency outside the idea of winning the approval of older men, and is now whipping the "racism" stinger to coerce the approval she wants.  Joe Biden, of course, is a racist.  His latest ravings about Satchel Paige and his strange 1960s-style use of language declaring the man a "negro" pretty well sync with all his other racist statements about Indian gas station attendants, Barack Obama being "clean" and "articulate," and all that creepy stuff about being in a swimming pool full of black children discussing his leg hair.  There was also his funeral paean to his friend, the late Ku Klux Klansman turned senator, Robert Byrd.  Racism surrounds Biden like a miasma and has for decades.  Kamala said nothing about any of that obvious stuff when she signed on to be Biden's vice president, but the minute she starts running into trouble in her own job, brought on by her own missteps and phoniness, she suddenly notices all this Biden "racism" to the press.

I'm a conservative immigrant ready to challenge the woke left — and, no, I won't 'go home'.  The woke left has long professed that they love immigrants.  But in truth, their love is conditioned on whether the immigrants accept its woke ideology.  For those immigrants who reject its doctrine, the woke left has only detestation.  After last week's election, Michael Eric Dyson, a frequent commentator on MSNBC, disparaged Virginia's incoming lieutenant governor Winsome Sears, the first Black woman elected to that position, by calling her a "Black mouth" for "White supremacist practices."  Sears is a Jamaican immigrant and Marine Corps veteran.  In her victory speech, she talked about how her life embodies the American dream, and her election is a decisive repudiation of the woke left's false narratives on race.  Early this week, a Silicon Valley tech executive, Melinda Byerley, CEO of Fiddlehead, a digital consulting company, went on an extended Twitter rant, calling non-White immigrants "parasites" and telling immigrants who support lower taxes and limited social welfare systems to "go home."

Joe Biden Calls Satchel Paige "The Great Negro" — Media Immediately Says Biden Did Not Say What You Saw Him Say.  Comrades, the ministry of truth does not want you to misunderstand what Joe Biden is saying in these prepared remarks.  Do not believe your eyes and ears, Joe Biden is not saying:  ..."You know, I've adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher in the negro leagues went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, into the, major league baseball after Jackie Robinson, his name was Satchel Paige".  Joe Biden is NOT saying this, according to U.S. media immediately afterward.  [Video clip]

Our Racist-In-Chief Biden Refers To Black Baseball Player Satchel Paige As 'The Great Negro At The Time' — No MSM Coverage.  Just a few moments ago our racist in President Joe Biden once again went off script and told a bizarre story during his Veterans Day speech about former Negro League baseball Satchel Paige.  "You know I've adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time, pitcher in the negro league, went on to become a great pitcher in the pros, Major League Baseball, after Jackie Robinson," Biden said.  "His name was Satchel Paige."  Paige played Major League Baseball for 6 years after a 20-year career in the leagues for black players, commonly known as the "Negro League".  Biden was referring to Paige's age at the time of his rookie season in Major League Baseball, basically that age is only a number.

Winsome Sears Is Left's Worst Nightmare.  [Scroll down]  Sears said when she joined the Marine Corps, she was still a Jamaica citizen, "but this country has done so much for me, I was willing to die for this country."  She then drove a stake into the heart of Democrats' appeal to racism, discrimination, and victimhood, which the party has sold to black people for generations.  "There are some who want to divide us, and we must not let that happen," she said.  "They would like us to believe we are back in 1963."  She then lowered the hammer about the progress made since then.  "We can live where we want," she said.  "We can eat where we want.  We own the water fountains.  We have had a black president elected, not once, but twice.  And here I am living proof." [...] When was the last time a modern Democratic politician talked like Winsome Sears?  Here is a role model for everyone, not just minorities:  an intact family; a sense of duty to and love of America; a strong work ethic; and a refusal to allow the dislike of others to keep one from pursuing the American dream.

Hispanic Voters Respond Accordingly After Terry McAuliffe Says Most Insulting Thing He Possibly Could to Them.  During Donald Trump's presidency, a panic began to set in among Democrats who understood that without a virtual lock on the "minority" vote, their chances of winning elections would become increasingly difficult to near-impossible in some cases, especially in battleground parts of the country. [...] So with that in mind, we turn to embattled Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe, who is now in a desperate fight to shore up base voters as the battle between him and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin is now a dead-heat, all brought on by McAuliffe doubling down on a catastrophic declaration he made during a debate last month about how "I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach."  In the video clip below, you see McAuliffe during an apparent campaign stop for Hispanic voters quite bluntly telling them they needed to "get busy ... relatively quickly" procreating in order to increase the chances of Democrats winning elections.  [Video clip]

The Left Is Everything They Hate.  Does the Left claim that we are all racist, and born racist, because they themselves are racist?  I am speaking here not of casually offensive remarks, or even a certain governor's blackface costumes:  I mean the deeply held conviction that certain races are inferior, and can succeed (i.e., can "be like us") only with extensive and patronizing assistance.  What conclusion should we draw from statements such as "poor kids are just as bright as white kids" or the suggestion that blacks and Hispanics don't necessarily "know how to get online" (both courtesy of Joe Biden)?  American blacks were gaining in wealth faster than any other demographic when LBJ enacted the Great Society.  Since then, the Left has used minorities as a permanent underclass who are expected to supply votes and menial labor in exchange for handouts on which dependence is encouraged.

Veteran Puts Biden, Dems on Notice:  You Don't Speak for Hispanics.  The reality is the Democrat Party takes advantage of and panders to Hispanics for the sole purpose of the voting booth; precisely as they have exploited and pandered to Black America for more than six decades.  But here's the deal.  Donald Trump in 2020 outperformed his 2016 showing among Hispanic voters, earning the support of about one in three Hispanic voters nationwide, even though Biden won the Hispanic vote by a roughly two-to-one margin overall.

Lefties Line up to Celebrate a Murderous, Racist Homophobe.  If you were to ask a far-left individual whether they are tolerant or not, you'd no doubt receive a defiant answer asserting that they are. [...] Yet, in the midst of all that tolerance remains a staggering disconnect, and that's the left's love for Che Guevara and other communist figures. [...] Walk onto any major university campus and you'll see t-shirts emblazoned with Guevara's now-iconic face.  Mention his atrocities, though, and you'll quickly get defensiveness and push-back. [...] It doesn't matter that Guevara literally murdered black people simply for existing, something your modern social justice warrior would find highly objectionable.  Guevara is forgiven because he espoused the right ideology, and Marxism ultimately triumphs on top of the left-wing hierarchy of right and wrong.

Democratic vaccine crackdown gives [the] GOP [an] opening with mandate-wary Black voters.  The Democratic embrace of vaccine mandates is running into resistance from some prominent Black athletes and activists, an unforeseen political side effect with implications for the party's grip on a crucial voting bloc ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.  A bevy of NBA stars has spoken out against the COVID-19 vaccination requirements.  Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green defended vaccine-hesitant teammate Andrew Wiggins by arguing that mandating the shot "goes against everything that America stands for."  "I think you have to honor people's feelings and their own personal beliefs, and I think that's been lost when it comes to vaccinated and unvaccinated," Mr. Green said Friday [10/1/2021] at a press conference.  "You say we live in the land of the free.  Well, you're not giving anyone freedom because you're making people do something, essentially."

And Jews Will Still Vote Democrat.  There is almost nothing Democrats can do to damage America, or Israel, that would change most American Jews' political leanings.  The latest example took place just last week.  A college student speaking to the vice president of the United States, a Democrat, condemned America for supporting Israel, and charged Israel with committing "ethnic genocide" against Palestinians.  Harris's response?  "Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard."  It was indeed the student's truth — which means it was a lie.  "Your truth" always means "a lie."  When a person says something that is true, people don't say, "that is your truth."  They say, "that's true."  And indeed, what the girl said to the vice president was a complete lie.

Black Teacher Shows The Racist Swag Bag She Got From Her California School District.  Support for Black Lives Matter movement collapses among Whites and Hispanics, but also loses its popularity with the African-American community.  The reality of the BLM movement in action did not meet expectations.  That's particularly true since the riots coincided with and were followed by a wave of racist actions under the umbrella of Critical Race Theory's offshoot "antiracism."  While the Black Lives Matter movement remains an incredibly powerful force, fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars, it is losing popularity across demographic groups.  And a black teacher with a Jamaican heritage just proved that BLM s only bring segregation and not unity!  This is a prime example of what white liberals do and how they think.

Hispanic Americans Choose Freedom, Not Socialism.  I am a Hispanic woman whose family fled Communist Cuba in order to give their children a better future.  Like so many others, my family fled brutal repression in favor of America's freedom and prosperity.  Conservative Republican policies are by far best-suited to protect that American freedom for generations to come — our values of faith, freedom, and family connect with the broader Hispanic community.  Unfortunately, Democrats cannot say the same. [...] In merely 8 months, Biden has stifled the economic recovery he inherited and reversed policies that were helping Hispanic Americans.  His failed leadership is evident to all.  He has enabled policies that have sent our cost-of-living skyrocketing.  He has failed to shut down COVID.  And he has failed to secure our borders.  Abroad, Biden's total lack of leadership also undermines the cause of freedom around the world — look no further than 90 miles off our coast.  While the Cuban people risked their lives by fighting to liberate themselves from the communist Castro regime, Biden's Cuban-born Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Cubans they will "not be permitted to enter the United States."

Black Lives Matter leader calls Bill de Blasio's vaccine mandate 'modern day freedom papers'.  A leader of the Greater New York chapter of the Black Lives Matter movement is chastising New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and vaccine passport process for residents, equating it to "modern day freedom papers."  Chivona Newsome, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater NY who also ran as a candidate for New York's 15th Congressional District in 2020, spoke out against the "racist" mandate in a statement to Fox News.  "Although Mayor Bill De Blasio ran on progressives values, nothing in his tenure will attest to his campaign promises," Newsome said.  "The September 13th vaccine mandate is racist and specifically targets Black New Yorkers.  The vaccination passports are modern day Freedom Papers, which limit the free will of Black people."

FDA Employee Caught on Tape Advocating for Nazi-Like Registry for Unvaccinated, and Shooting Blacks With COVID Blow Darts.  A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) employee was caught on tape advocating for a Nazi-like response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with forced vaccinations, and a registry for all unvaccinated Americans.  In Part Two of Project Veritas' COVID vaccine investigative series, FDA economist Taylor Lee literally called for the United States government to emulate Nazi Germany to force the COVID injections on vaccine skeptics.  "Census goes door-to-door if you don't respond.  So, we have the infrastructure to do it [forced COVID vaccinations].  I mean, it'll cost a ton of money.  But I think, at that point, I think there needs to be a registry of people who aren't vaccinated.  Although that's sounding very Germany," Lee admitted.

Let Them Destroy Each Other.  [Scroll down]  Also racist — vaccine mandates!  According to numbers the lib media refuses to report, the biggest group of vaccine skeptics is not those science-hating Trump people.  It's minorities, who frankly have a really good reason for not trusting government doctors who assure them everything is on the up and up.  It doesn't help when rich jerks at the Emmys or on Martha's Vineyard party maskless while demanding you gag your kid — or not allow your kid to go to school at all.  So, when the Karen Caucus of libidinally unsatiated cat ladies get their vaccine passport requirements of their dreams, the hardest hit is... minorities!

Nicki Minaj Just Learned They Want Her Vote, Not Her Opinion.  Who knew that rapper Nicki Minaj would emerge as a champion for free speech and an outspoken critic of censorship?  Even stranger — Minaj found herself retweeting Tucker Carlson while Carlson championed her on his nightly show.  Strange times indeed — but alas "adversity makes strange bedfellows."  Minaj just learned rule number one of the modern illiberal party — there is zero room for liberty of thought.  Her critical error was having the audacity to question the vaccine narrative and encouraging people to make their own decisions.

Why Isn't the Attack on Larry Elder the Biggest Story in America?  A white woman in a gorilla mask threw an egg at a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of our largest state, and the media shrug.  Do a search for "Larry Elder" and gorilla on the CNN website and nothing comes up.  Washington Post?  Zilch.  Nothing comes up on the New York Times site either, although if you make it to the 15th paragraph of a story entitled "The Vice President pushed back against the effort to recall Newsom in the Bay Area," you will find a bland passing reference to Wednesday's disgusting incident.

White racist leftist in ape mask assaults Larry Elder and take a look at how the LA Times covered it.  So is naked racism of Bull-Connor-era ilk against the man who may become California's first black governor O.K. so long as a Democrat is doing it?  Apparently so, based on how the Los Angeles Times is covering yesterday's egg-hurling incident.  A leftist white woman, unsubtle as she can get, wearing a gorilla mask, hurled an egg at the head of gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder in Venice, California, nearly hitting him, and then another leftist did the same as Elder was hustled off by his aides into an SUV.

California recall candidate Larry Elder targeted by egg-throwing hostile crowd.  At least one egg was thrown at Larry Elder, the Republican front-runner in the California gubernatorial recall election, during a confrontation with a hostile crowd while walking with his team on Wednesday [9/8/2021].  Local reporters posted video to social media that showed an individual wearing a gorilla mask and tossing an egg in the direction of the conservative radio host, who was in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles to tour a homeless encampment.

'If I were a Democrat they'd be calling it a hate crime': Larry Elder slams the left.  California governor hopeful Larry Elder has slammed Democrats for not calling attack on him a hate crime after a white woman in a gorilla mask was filmed throwing an egg at him on a campaign stop Wednesday [9/8/2021].  On Thurday night, the GOP candidate told Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight host Jesse Watters that he encountered the 'very angry and ugly scene' while he was touring a homeless encampment in Venice Beach.  'If I were a Democrat, obviously, this would be called systemic racism, they'd be calling it a hate crime.  I don't like to play that game,' he said.

Media ignore racial attack on Larry Elder because he's a black Republican.  Do a search for "Larry Elder" and gorilla on the CNN website and nothing comes up.  Washington Post?  Zilch.  Nothing comes up on The New York Times site either, although if you make it to the 15th paragraph of a story titled "The Vice President pushed back against the effort to recall Newsom in the Bay Area," you will find a bland passing reference to Wednesday's disgusting incident.  According to our nation's media leaders, it's not a story that a white person wearing a gorilla mask attacked Larry Elder, a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of California, by hurling an egg that touched his head.  If Elder were a Democrat, the attack would have been instantly and with good reason dubbed racist.  It would not only be front-page news, it would be just about the only news you were hearing about today on CNN and MSNBC.

Assault On Black Gubernatorial Candidate Larry Elder Exposes Double-Standard On Race.  Imagine for a moment that a white woman wearing a gorilla mask threw an egg at the first black American with a serious chance of becoming governor of California as he visited homeless encampments with black and Latino community leaders.  Imagine that, seconds later, both the gorilla-masked woman and a white man punched the candidate's security guard.  And imagine that somebody fired a pellet gun into the crowd.  It is reasonable to expect that such an event would be instantly and roundly condemned as a racist hate crime by civil rights leaders, talking heads, and political leaders.  Some might demand an FBI investigation into whether the woman acted alone, and why the L.A. police had failed to protect the candidate.  And it is reasonable to expect that, within hours, there would have been protests in Los Angeles and across the country.  And yet, after this exact event occurred in Los Angeles yesterday before noon it aroused neither extensive news media coverage, widespread condemnation, nor protests.

LA sheriff on Larry Elder's gorilla mask assailant: 'How is this not a hate crime?'.  The gorilla mask-wearing woman who threw an egg at California recall candidate Larry Elder and slapped his security guard should be charged with a hate crime, said Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva.  The unidentified woman was seen in a viral video riding a bicycle next to Elder and his guards after a campaign event in Venice Beach.  She threw an egg that narrowly missed Elder's head, and then she slapped a security guard. [...] LAPD, which has jurisdiction over Venice Beach, issued a press release Thursday night saying two men also hit Elder's guard in the head.  Police asked for the public's help in identifying those suspects, along with the woman in the gorilla mask.  "She might be one of the 20,000 felons from our prisons released by our soft-on-crime governor," Elder quipped on Tucker Carlson Tonight about the woman.

This Day in History:  Democrats Murder 4 Former Slaves and 5 Republicans at Clinton, MS Picnic.  146 years ago today, Democrats attacked a Republican barbecue in Clinton, Mississippi murdering 4 former slaves and 5 white Republicans.  Democrats then in the following days slaughtered another 50-100 African-Americans.  For some reason, you don't hear much about this massacre these days.

Do you think Facebook is run by a bunch of right-wing Republicans?
 Facebook Apologizes After AI Tech Labels Black Men As 'Primates'.  Facebook recently apologized after an A.I. program mistakenly labeled a video featuring Black men as "about Primates."  The video, posted by The Daily Mail on June 27, 2020, shows clips of Black men and police officers.  An automatic prompt asked users if they would like to "keep seeing videos about Primates," despite the video clearly featuring no connection or content related to primates.  "As we have said, while we have made improvements to our A.I., we know it's not perfect, and we have more progress to make," Facebook said in a statement to The New York Times.  "We apologize to anyone who may have seen these offensive recommendations."

Biden calls Black adviser 'boy' during FEMA briefing.  President Biden called a Black adviser "boy" during a Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) briefing on Monday [8/30/2021].  The president used the term while introducing his senior adviser Cedric Richmond, a former Louisiana congressman.  "I'm here with my senior adviser and boy who knows Louisiana very, very well and New Orleans, Cedric Richmond," Biden said at a press briefing with FEMA after Hurricane Ida rocked Louisiana.

Playing the Race Card on Larry Elder.  The possibility that Larry Elder may win California's recall election against Governor Gavin Newsom is generating acute anxiety in the mainstream media and among the activist Left.  Elder's foes are responding with their favored means of destruction: by playing the race card.  Never mind that the nationally syndicated talk show host is black.  A series of opinion columns and editorials have accused him of being a white supremacist, or at the very least a shill for other white supremacists.  Elect Elder and California will reinstate Jim Crow, state senator Sydney Kamlager, a Democrat from Los Angeles, has warned.  The media have focused particularly on Elder's views about crime and policing.

The Media's Racist Attacks on Larry Elder.  [Scroll down]  The attacks on Elder — in the Los Angeles Times, in Politico, and elsewhere — share the classic symbolism of mid-twentieth-century racial paranoia.  One columnist has referred to Elder, repeatedly, as the "black face of white supremacy."  He is incapable of thinking for himself; he is little more than a minstrel in "black face."  That columnist, Erika D. Smith, is African American herself, but is evidently willing to traffic in racist tropes as long as they help her partisan political cause.  The Politico article that reported the allegations made by Elder's ex-fiancée, Alexandra Datig, failed to cite corroborating evidence, other than hinting ominously that Elder has a bad "attitude towards women" — a lie based on a few context-free quotes from decades of Elder's broadcasting career.

Biden's History of Getting Away With Racist Remarks.  Joe Biden has a decades-long habit of making overtly racist remarks, taking discriminatory positions and cavorting with known racists — things that would get anyone to his political right tossed out of polite society.  But being on the left must make it okay.  Just a few days ago, while lamenting the difficulty in convincing many Latinos and blacks to take the COVID vaccine, he committed a series of racially charged blunders that barely registered in the corporate media's consciousness.  Biden white-splained that Latinos in America resist vaccinations because "they're worried that they'll be vaccinated and deported."  This statement makes the insane assumption that all Latinos present in this country are illegal aliens subject to expulsion.  It never occurred to Biden that more than 60 million Latinos are actually American citizens, according to recent census figures.

Nancy Pelosi Hosts "Super Spreader" Event In Napa For Maskless Old White Liberals.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) was seen without her mask over the weekend at a Democrat Party fundraiser event full of unmasked attendees.  The event was hosted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in Napa, California, where Pelosi was seen delivering remarks unmasked.  The event was exclusively for old white liberals at a super spreader event while their ethnic, masked staff wait on them hand and foot. [...] Notably, the only people seen wearing masks were the service staff, highlighting the fact that Democrat elites see masks as reserved only for the peasant class.  The event also reportedly included pro-mask former Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, who apologized last year after getting caught without a mask amid the statewide mask mandate she imposed.

MSNBC Reporter Quotes Biggie Smalls To Try And Coerce Black To Getting Vaccinated.  MSNBC host Ari Melbe sure knows how to talk down to a group he obviously doesn't interact with very often.  Melbe figured, the best way to get through to the black community, which is lagging way behind whites in vaccination rates, was to quote some hip hop to the great unwashed.  [Video clip]

New York's Jim Crow Vaccine Passport Will Deny Service to 72% of Young Black Residents.  A full 72 percent of young, black New Yorkers are about to be denied service and the right to work in New York City restaurants, gyms, and theaters.  The far-left New York Times reported Thursday [8/12/2021] only 28 percent of black New Yorkers aged 18 to 44 years are vaccinated, "compared with 48 percent of Latino residents and 52 percent of white residents in that age group."

A Racial Reckoning for the Democrats.  Vermont Democrat Party chair Bruce Olsson published a commentary recently proclaiming yet again that Republicans are "racist."  This is particularly rich since the Democrat party is the oldest and most enduring racist political party in history, and its racism continues to this day.  Here are the facts:  The Democrat Party was founded in 1828.  Its first national party platform, ratified during the 1840 Presidential election, stated:  "that all efforts by abolitionists or others, made to induce congress to interfere with questions of slavery... are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people... and ought not to be countenanced by any friend to our political institutions."  The message was clear:  the Democrat Party did not consider Black Americans to be "people" deserving of "happiness."  That same language was in every national Democrat party platform for the next 16 years.

Memes Make It Clear:  New York City's Vaccine Passport Is the Real Jim Crow 2.0.  New York City became the first major metro to require proof of vaccination to access restaurants, gyms, and other venues last week.  Mayor Bill de Blasio proudly announced the "Key to New York City" pass, a vaccine passport, effective August 16. As Karol Markowicz pointed out, the vaccine passport erased children under 12 from public life because they cannot be vaccinated.  The mayor's office updated the policy to exempt them from the vaccine requirement and mandate masks for children instead.  Public policy is often full of unintended consequences.  And while de Blasio and others like him are just sure they are sticking it to white Trump supporters with vaccine passports like these, nothing could be further from the truth.  According to New York City's tracking, only 32% of black residents are fully vaccinated, and 43% of Hispanic residents have taken the complete doses.

1619 Project, Touted as Racial Reckoning, Ignores Democratic Party Racism.  Democrats who advanced a bill in June to remove statues of white supremacists from the U.S. Capitol ignored a central fact about those figures:  All of them had been icons of their party, from Andrew Jackson's adamantly pro-slavery vice president, John C. Calhoun, to North Carolina Gov. Charles B. Aycock, an architect of the white-supremacist campaign of 1898 that ushered in the era of Jim Crow.  At a time when governments, sports teams, schools and other bastions of American society are rushing to expunge legacies of slavery or racism, this was another instance of the Democratic Party's failure to acknowledge that it did more than any other institution in American life to preserve the "peculiar institution" — and later enforce Jim Crow-style apartheid in the Old South.  "I think it's absolutely fair to criticize the history of the Democrat Party when we're literally changing the names of birds because they're named after racists," said Jarrett Stepman, author of "The War on History:  The Conspiracy to Rewrite America's Past," referring to a new racism-cleansing push in, yes, ornithology.

Boston mayor compares NYC's vaccine mandate to slavery, birtherism.  The mayor of Boston said the city won't be following New York's lead requiring proof of vaccination at many indoor businesses, claiming the move is reminiscent of "slavery" and birtherism.  Acting Mayor Kim Janey — the first woman and black Bostonian to hold the office — said "there's a long history" in the United States of people "needing to show their papers" when asked Tuesday about the mandate unveiled earlier in the day by Mayor Bill de Blasio that requires proof of vaccination to enter indoor restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms starting on Sept. 13.  "During slavery, post-slavery, as recent as, you know, what the immigrant population has to go through here, we've heard Trump with the birth certificate nonsense," Janey told WCVB.  "Here, we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of Boston or disproportionally impact BIPOC communities."

BLM gives senator ultimatum to cut ties with 'all white' country club.  Black Lives Matter is giving a Rhode Island senator an ultimatum to cut all ties with a controversial country club accused of only admitting white people — even though he has already denied being a member.  BLM Rhode Island told WLNE that Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse has until next Friday to either resign or cut ties with Newport-based Bailey's Beach Club[,] or it will make his life miserable, the station said.  "We'll go to his club, we'll go to his office, we'll go to his home — wherever we need to go," one of the chapter's directors, Mark Fisher, vowed.  "This is an issue that's not going to go away and Senator Whitehouse needs to address it, he needs to take it on," Fisher said.

Biden to force vaccines on federal workforce — blacks, minorities hardest hit.  Joe Biden, not the brightest bulb in the box, has unwittingly declared war on his own political base.  What else to make of his mandatory vaccine diktat for the federal workforce, which came out yesterday, demanding that 2.876 million federal workers be vaxxed for COVID, or else. [...] For good measure, Biden threw in the military, too.  And federal contractors.  Hear that?  Get vaxxed, or Biden will make your life miserable.  ["]The unvaccinated will have to put up with regular testing, required masking and social distancing, and they will be barred from official travel.  Similar rules will be applied to federal contractors.["]  Which is bad news for the reportedly 40% of the federal workforce that refuses to get vaccinated.  And who might these targeted people be?  Well, the federal workforce, and the military, both include a higher proportion of minorities, particularly black people over the civilian population.

Olympics ads portray blacks as America's good and dominant race.  Infantilization of blacks is the official policy of liberals and Marxists who want to sacrifice or destroy the country for feel-goodery or socialism.  To that end, liberals and Marxists insist on abolishing math, language, merit and laws because they think but don't dare say that black people are inherently unable to do math, learn real language, become meritorious or obey the law.  They sloganeer "Black Lives Matter" as if the rest of us think they don't.  Meanwhile, they studiously ignore the black-on-black slaughter in American cities and label as "racist" anyone not ignoring that slaughter including black police chiefs.  The most recent infantilization of blacks in the Olympics ads is to portray them falsely as a highly successful race that dominates America with their intellectual horsepower, their loving families, their gentle goodness and their ageless skin.  The real story is quite different.  Blacks on average do much worse in school, have an illegitimacy rate of 77%, commit murder at seven times the white rate and ... well, OK, they do have ageless skin.

CNN's white host messed with the wrong black Congressman in tense interview.  U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) is providing a succinct, retrospective analysis of his high-profile interview last month with agenda-driven CNN anchor Brianna Keilar during which she came off as an apologist for the Congressional Black Caucus and Democrats generally.  Keilar claimed that the CBC had yet to extend an invitation to the first-term congressman to join the group because his views — such as his support for former President Trump and for voting reform laws, as well as challenging the outcome of Election 2020 — were "incongruent" with the CBC's mission.  During the course of the June 10 interview, Keilar also insisted, among other things, that the presidential election was "verifiably secure."  In attendance at a Turning Point USA conference in Tampa, Fla., as he recalled the CNN back and forth, Donalds implied that the condescending co-anchor of "New Day" on a network still obsessed with Donald Trump was out of her lane in an attempt to spew Democrat talking points.

It Cannot Be That Liberals Are Wrong About Everything.  The only thing that matters in America right now is that liberals got everything wrong.  And they can't believe it.  They won't believe it.  They dare not believe it.  When was the last time a New York Times writer said that the trouble with the Civil Rights Act was that it could never compensate for the fact that blacks score a whole standard deviation lower on IQ than whites.  So all the programs and quotas and diversities and inclusions and race cards of the last 50 years, experts dare not agree, have actually Made Things Worse for blacks.

Top 10 Examples of Leftist and Democratic Racism.  [#7] Prohibiting the distribution of food and water at Georgia polls suppresses black votes — The goal of this provision within the Georgia voting law which went into effect in late-March is obviously to prevent outsiders at polling stations from essentially bribing soon-to-be voters with water and sandwiches.  Makes sense, right?  But the pushback from the left insisted the stipulation specifically targeted black voters, with one activist arguing, "You know something is wrong when you can't give grandma a bottle of water and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."  Therefore, follow the apparent logic.  This law doesn't target white voters because a white grandma is capable of eating and drinking before she votes, or she can remember to bring a snack and a water bottle if she thinks she might be waiting on line for a while.  But a black grandma?  We can't expect her to take care of herself like that.  What's wrong with you?

Which Is The Real Party Of Racism?  The blasé response to the revelation that Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse belonged to a private "whites only" club and even owned a stake in it, should come as no surprise.  In the Democrats' race-obsessed world, only Republicans are racist.  Whitehouse confused the issue last week when asked about his membership in Bailey's Beach Club and its alleged all-white membership, saying:  "I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I'm sorry it hasn't happened yet."  Well, it turns out, his family is among the "people who are running the place."

George Floyd, Daunte Wright and Jacob Blake are not Worthy of Celebration.  For the poorly read, the party of slavery and Jim Crow was the Democrat party.  A brief history of the Democrat party would show us this.  We all know (or at least should) that If it were not for U.S. Representative Justin Morrill (R-VT) in 1862, who got the Land Grant Act passed, which established colleges for African Americans, there would be no state funded historically Black Colleges and Universities.  Even before this, the historical record notes that the Republican Party was formed essential to counteract the pro-slavery policies of the Democratic Party during a period in the nation's history in which we saw Democratic President Franklin Pierce signing the Kansas-Nebraska Act (which allowed for the expansion of slavery into newly acquired U.S. territories in 1854).  Ironically the same year, Montgomery Blair, a republican argued in front of the Supreme Court on behalf of his client Dred Scott albeit it unsuccessfully where the record noted the only dissent with the court decision majority of seven democrats was Republican Justice John McLean.  Although many incorrectly believe that freed slaves were promised after emancipation and the 13th and 14th amendment 40 acres and a mule, this was never factually the case.  The record documents that in 1866 Republican U.S. Representative Thaddeus Stevens introduced the legislation however it was vetoed by then Democratic President Andrew Johnson.  Also that same year the Republican congress was able to override President Johnson's veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and his veto of the Freedman's Bureau Act which was written to protect former slaves from Black codes put into law to deny rights granted by the 13th and 14th amendments.  In addition, two times the following year, the Republican majority had to vote to over-ride Johnson's veto of the legislation granting African Americans the right to vote.

San Francisco Is Most Racist City in America, According to Critical Race Theory.  San Francisco may have a well-earned reputation as the most progressive city in the nation.  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has represented the City by the Bay for more than 30 years.  But viewed through the lens of critical race theory, it is also one of the most racist cities in the country. [...] [T]he city did not have much of a black community when the Home Owners' Loan Corporation was rating neighborhoods.  Before Pearl Harbor, less than 1% of San Francisco's population was black.  By 1950, however, that number had grown to 5.6% and it almost doubled to 10% in 1960, before leveling off at about 13% in 1970 and 1980.  But then something happened.  In 1990, the black population fell to 11%.  By 2000 it was just 8%.  Today, it is just 5%.  "There was a viable, wonderful African American population in every way," former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown told KTVU.  "We had three hotels in the Fillmore.  We had, probably, 15 to 20 bars, with music facilities in them."  "Suddenly, redevelopment started," Brown continued, "and when redevelopment started, the first thing they did was get us out!  They called it 'urban renewal.'  No.  It was 'urban removal,' and, literally, we began to float out."

Why Are They Woke?  There are lots of reasons why wokeism spread like wildfire once America lost its collective mind during the pandemic, quarantine, self-induced recession, and rioting of 2020.  Wokeism was never really about racism, sexism, or other -isms.  Instead, for some, it illustrated a psychological pathology of projection:  fobbing one's own concrete prejudices onto others in order to alleviate or mask them. [...] Consider outspoken liberal icon Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).  He's one of the Senate's most woke.  Yet Whitehouse turns out to be a mostly unapologetic member of a de facto all-white prestigious "beach club" of elites in Newport, Rhode Island.  Is Whitehouse committed in the abstract to rooting out white privilege so he can concretely relax amid it with fellow bluebloods?

Uber-left, extremely nasty Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has a racism problem.  When last we paid attention to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D. R.I.), he was the leftist crudely arguing during Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing that she would wipe away healthcare for millions.  You know his politics when you learn that he was No. 18 on the 2020 list of hardest left Senators.  (If you're wondering, Kamala Harris was No. 2, right behind Bernie Sanders.)  It turns out, though, that this vicious, uber-leftist senator is a member of Rhode Island beach club that was formerly Whites-only — a status in effect when he was a member.  So yes, we have found the systemic racism in America and it's... Senator Whitehouse!

NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus Silent About Democrat Senator's Membership at All-White Club.  Both the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congressional Black Caucus were radio silent on Monday after news broke that Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) defended his membership to an elite, all-white beach club.  Breitbart News reached out to both the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus for comment regarding Whitehouse's extra-curricular activities.  Neither organization responded.

Democrat Sen. Whitehouse Says His Exclusive Beach Club's All-White Membership Is Simply 'Tradition'.  Democrat Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who has often spoken out against "racial injustice" in the United States, shrugged off questions from a local news outlet about his family's membership in an all-white exclusive beach club in Rhode Island this weekend.  When asked by GoLocalProv whether white-only exclusive clubs such as Bailey's Beach Club, which is part of the Spouting Rock Beach Association, should "continue to exist," Whitehouse refused to offer a straight answer and merely stated that "it's a long tradition" in the state.

Dem Sen. Whitehouse defends membership in ritzy, all-white exclusive club.  Liberal Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island is defending his decision to remain a member of an all-white exclusive club in his state, explaining that it's one of many "traditions" and pledging that the club is working to expand to minorities.  "I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I'm sorry it hasn't happened yet," he said in response to a question from a reporter at GoLocalProv.com.  Pressed for further explanation, Whitehouse added before being rushed away by a staffer, "It's a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them and I think we just need to work our way through the issues."

Dem Senator Claimed Systemic Racism, Ripped Trump.  He's Still [a] Member Of [an] All White Private Exclusive Club.  On Friday [6/18/2021], Rhode Island Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse — who had slammed former President Trump for "toiling to deepen the fault lines in American life" and claimed, "We can and must do better to root out systemic racism in its many forms and meet America's full promise of justice for all" — was asked about his membership in the all-white private Bailey's Beach Club in Newport, Rhode Island.  Whitehouse had told GoLocal's News Editor Kate Nagle in 2017, "I think it would be nice if they (Bailey's Beach Club) changed a little bit, but it's not my position," then was questioned whether he would urge the club to push for diversity at the all-white club.  He answered, "I will take that up privately."

Here's Why it was So Important for Democrats to Make Juneteenth a National Holiday.  When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks.  Democrats discriminated against blacks.  In fact, the KKK, was founded as the the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.  The Ku Klux Klan assassinated many Republicans including Republican Representative James M. Hinds (December 5, 1833 - October 22, 1868) of Little Rock.  Hinds represented Arkansas in the United States Congress from June 24, 1868 through October 22, 1868 before his death. [...] On April 20, 1871 the Republicans passed the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act outlawing Democratic terrorist groups.  The last KKK official to serve in Washington DC was former Senator Robert Byrd, a KKK kleagle.  Byrd was a top Democrat and friend of Joe Biden.  In fact, throughout the Civil Rights era of the 19th and 20th century Democrats fought against freedom and rights for the black man.  The only blip of positive news during the 19th Century for Democrats was the long-forgotten Juneteenth celebration. [...] This is the only bright spot for Democrats today in the entire history of civil rights in the 19th and most of the 20th centuries.  Hence, they made it a national holiday.  They had to.

Parents rip into DOE, say NYC has failed black students.  A growing legion of black parents in Queens say the Department of Education has failed their kids through mismanagement and neglect — fueling an exodus out of the public school system.  Fed-up families in District 29 — a primarily black area which includes Hollis, Rosedale, and Cambria Heights — said the DOE has long tolerated abysmal math and English proficiency rates, despite high per-student spending.  "There are a lot of black middle-class homeowners here," said local activist Michael Duncan of the newly formed Students Improvement Association.  "These are successful people, successful families.  The results in our schools are not reflective of the community.  Something is wrong here."

Biden Privilege:  A Tale of Two Racists.  We are living in a P.C. culture.  In the past few years, we've seen multiple celebrities canceled for comments that have been taken to be offensive against African Americans or Black Lives Matter.  Meanwhile, Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, get a free pass when openly insulting Black people.  There's a long list of celebrates who got canceled after they purposefully or accidentally said or tweeted offensive remarks against Black people, including remarks that were not objectively racist but were perceived as racist. [...] Things are different if you're a Biden.  Throughout his political career, Joe Biden has regularly made racist remarks.  Beginning in the 1970s, when he started his career, Biden proudly associated with segregationists and said busing would lead to a "racial jungle."  As a U.S. Senator, he said quoted the n-word thirteen times during Senate hearings in 1985. Just fifteen years ago, Biden said, "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."

The State of Black America.  Listening to all the rhetoric in the popular media, you would think America is the most unfair, racist nation in the world.  You would think that black Americans are uniformly living in oppression and poverty, with no hope for the future, save the federal government arriving on the scene to their rescue.  Sorry, liberals, to trouble you with facts.  But indeed there are facts.  And the facts tell a far different story than what we are hearing.  Let's start with the most recent annual report of the Census Bureau:  Income and Poverty in the United States:  2019.  According to this report, annual real median household income in the U.S. increased 6.8% in 2019, the largest annual increase recorded by the Census Bureau going back to 1967.  Black median household income in 2019 increased 7.9%, the largest on record and, per American Enterprise Institute economist Mark Perry, "almost nine times the average annual increase of 0.90% over the last half-century."

The Editor says...
 Hmmm... Who was the President in 2019, when blacks were doing so well?

Mainstream media ignores lewd Hunter Biden N-word texts to his lawyer.  The news this week that first son Hunter Biden routinely used a racial slur in conversations with his white attorney as recently as early 2019 has been studiously ignored by the mainstream media.  The messages between Hunter Biden and Chicago-based lawyer George Mesires were saved on his abandoned laptop and were first reported by DailyMail.com on Tuesday.  "How much money do I owe you," Hunter Biden asked Mesires in one exchange on Dec. 13, 2018, before adding, "Becaause [sic] n---a you better not be charging me Hennessy rates."

Reports: Hunter Biden used N-word with lawyer, had racist Obama meme on laptop.  Hunter Biden repeatedly used the N-word in conversations with his lawyer and kept a racist meme involving his father and former President Barack Obama on his laptop, according to multiple media outlets.  The racist exchanges in conversations with attorney George Mesires, which also included lewd sexual talk, were taken from the presidential son's abandoned laptop, the New York Post and Britain's Daily Mail reported Tuesday [6/8/2021].  In a text exchange on Dec. 13, 2018, the Post reported, Mr. Biden asked the Chicago-based corporate lawyer, "How much money do I owe you."

12 People Who Were Canceled fo Using the N-Word like Hunter Biden.  Revealing text messages derived from Hunter Biden's laptop show the president's son repeatedly using racial slurs in messages to his white attorney, but members of the radical left — members of the establishment media, particularly — have remained relatively silent despite their history of calling for the cancellation of individuals who have done the same.  Text messages obtained by the Daily Mail show Hunter Biden repeatedly using the N-word in communication with his attorney, George Mesires.  Figures on the right immediately observed the seeming hypocrisy from left-wing personalities and media outlets, given their penchant for attempting to cancel others for similar improprieties.

N-Word Usage Score — Bidens 15, Trumps 0.  Not only has His Fraudulency Joe Biden used the N-word at least 13 times (that we know of), but that chip off the old block named Hunter Biden has used it at least three times (that we know of).  The racist apple does not fall far from the racist tree.  Oh, but former President Trump, the man the fake news media, Democrats, Big Tech, academia, and Hollywood assured us was a demonic racist; how many times has he been caught uttering the N-word, or any racial slur?  Zip, zero, nada, not once, not ever.  Literally, billions and billions of corporate media dollars and Democrat party dollars and dark money dollars have been spent, along with countless man-hours, looking for even one racist slur Trump's uttered, just one that a man who's been world-famous for four decades has uttered.  They came up so empty all they could do was fabricate lies and hoaxes, like the "very fine people" hoax.

Leo Terrell Goes OFF: Biden Family Is a 'Klan Family' and Joe Is the 'Imperial Wizard'.  Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden appears to not be able to escape controversy with his laptop and emails.  It has happened to him before with various photos and emails found on the laptop and it has happened again, this time with racist language, The Daily Mail reported in an exclusive story.  During an interview on Fox News, conservative commentator Leo Terrell unleashed on "racist" Joe and Hunter Biden.

Biden's Tulsa remarks should be judged in the context of his own racist past.  In his speech in Tulsa on Tuesday, newly minted hyperprogressive Joe Biden once again declared that terrorism from white supremacy is a bigger threat to the homeland than ISIS or al Qaeda, citing "the intelligence community" as his source.  At one point in his latest diatribe, the unifier-in-chief took a detour down memory lane to emphasize to his audience just how racist the country that elected him is.  "If my memory is correct," he can be heard saying in the video that follows, "there were 37 members of the House of Representatives who were open members of the Klan.  There were five members of the United States Senate, open members of the Klan."  [Video clip]

Joe Biden Makes Racist Comments About Black Entrepreneurs.  On Tuesday [6/1/2021], while commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre, Joe Biden managed to say something so ridiculously racist that it's hard not to cringe.  "The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are," Biden said.  "But they don't have lawyers.  They don't have, they don't have accountants, but they have great ideas."  "Does anyone doubt this whole nation would be better off from the investments those people make?" he added.  "And I promise you that's why I set up this National Small Business Administration that's much broader because they're going to get those loans."  [Video clip]  "These people"?  Black people don't have lawyers or accountants?  Was he reading off a teleprompter or going rogue with those comments?

Joe Biden Says Black Entrepreneurs Don't Succeed Like Whites Because They Don't Know How to Find Lawyers or Accountants.  Joe Biden on Tuesday delivered a speech on the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.  Biden was being his old perverted, racist self on Tuesday [6/1/2021].  He just can't help himself.  Joe Biden made a racist remark during his speech after telling little girls in pigtails they would get ice cream if they sat through his speech.  "The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are, but they don't have lawyers, they don't have accountants, but they have great ideas," Biden said.

Ignorant Liberals Pushing Vaccine Passports Don't Get Who That Would Really Hurt and Discriminate Against.  [Scroll down]  But this isn't the only place where the left and the media are getting it wrong.  Media seems to want to pitch this picture of the people not getting vaccinated or reluctant to do so as white Trump supporters rubes.  They seem to forget that we have the vaccines in large part because of President Donald Trump.  While there certainly may be some Trump supporters in that group, there are people across the political spectrum who might not be getting vaccinated for a variety of reasons.  As these charts tend to show, the people who could be most impacted by vaccine passports or requirements of vaccinations like the cruise ships are contemplating would likely be black and Hispanic.  [Charts]  This is actually one of the reasons that WHO is against vaccine passports because they believe it may adversely impact people.  So this is not fitting the political biases that the liberal media tends to push.

'We've Been Bamboozled!' Black Man Apologizes For Voting For Biden.  This man, gold fronts and all made a TikTok video that has gone viral, apologizing for voting for Joe Biden.  The man references Biden's push to regulate and tax Crypto, which according to the man, many black people make good profits off of.  [Video clip]

Biden and the Dems' Situational Racism.  The party of "diversity" and "tolerance" is becoming almost as intolerant of Jews and of the Jewish state as the KKK.  This is perhaps not coincidental, given that many prominent Democrats were actually in the KKK — including Democrat Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, whom the Woke one eulogized when he passed.  And let's not forget the current Democrat governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam — who styled himself the "Coonman" in college — and had his picture taken in a KKK outfit (or a Michael Jackson outfit; he's never admitted publicly which of the two was him).

Here's some real white supremacy:  The phony word 'Latinx'.  Buck Throckmorton over at Ace of Spades has an expert rant, decrying the incredible racism and white supremacy of the word 'Latinx,' courtesy of the Democrats.  He begins: ["]Question:  Who uses the term 'Latinx'?  Answer:  White, left-wing English speakers.  Question:  Who doesn't use the term 'Latinx'?  Answer:  Latinos and Latinas.["]

Democrat Left's Critical Race Theory Preaches Black Failure.  Black Lives Matter, the "diversity" police, and other "systemic racism"-mongers relentlessly claim that white privilege and white supremacy blockade black success.  Blacks think, "Yes, we can."  The Democrat left replies:  "No, you can't."  Last June, Seattle staged something called Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness.  This segregated brainwashing program for white municipal workers accused them of rendering people of color "unable to imagine a way forward that comes from a place of humanity and empowerment."  So, blacks are paralyzed victims, as helpless as butterflies ensnared in a tarantula's web of white racism.  This frightful fantasy is concocted to leave blacks cold and scared — all the better to swaddle them in the warm, loving arms of the left.

Ted Cruz fires back after Joy Reid's 'Django' attack: 'Why is MSNBC ok with hosts using overt racial slurs?'.  Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, fired back at far-left host Joy Reid's latest racially charged attack, wondering Wednesday why MSNBC allowed her to get away with it and saying her "condescension" was leading Hispanics to leave the Democrats.  Reid assailed Cruz and compared him to Stephen, the traitorous house slave in the 2012 movie "Django Unchained," for opposing the Democratic voting overhaul known as the For The People Act.  Cruz, mirroring language by President Biden about Georgia's Republican voting law, angered Democrats after he called it "Jim Crow 2.0."  "I appreciate MSNBC lecturing me on how people of 'my race' are supposed to vote.  This arrogant condescension is a big reason Hispanic voters are moving right in large numbers.  Also, why is MSNBC ok with their hosts using overt racial slurs ('Stephen from Django')?" Cruz tweeted.

Conservative Hispanic Leaders Explain Why Texas Voters Are Shifting Republican.  The Republican party in Texas is drawing Hispanic voters disillusioned by the Democratic party's extreme values, two female Hispanic Republican leaders with Democratic backgrounds told the Daily Caller News Foundation.  South Texas saw both a liberal decline and a conservative surge during the 2020 election, the New York Times reported, a surge that has emboldened Republicans hoping to win in Latino communities throughout the United States.  Hispanic female Republicans are stepping up to the plate, the publication reported.  "I am starting to see this need to connect with the Hispanic community and let them know nationwide that it's the Republican party that offers opportunities," Adrienne Pena-Garza, chair of the Hidalgo County Republican Party, told the DCNF.

Democrats depend on keeping black voters feeling helpless.  Kamala Harris has complicated that.  Learned helplessness is the No. 1 thing liberals promote and attempt to instill in black Americans.  This remained true even when we had a black president.  It continues now that we have a black vice president.  And heaven help the black man, Republican Sen. Tim Scott in particular, who fails to obey.  Vice President Kamala Harris last week made what would have not long ago been a very uncontroversial remark when she said that the United States was not a racist country.  Such a statement is now heresy in the social justice-controlled Democratic Party because it robs black Democratic voters of the ultimate excuse — that their personal circumstances are not their own responsibility, that anything wrong in their lives is the fault of someone else, just blame the nearest white person.  Karen Attiah, a liberal at the Washington Post, took great offense at what Harris had to say, especially because liberals had already been viciously attacking Scott for saying the same thing just hours before.

Dems' Priority is Sex and Skin Color, and the GOP Must Reject this Approach:  Enter Tim Scott.  There was a time not long ago when the word 'bigot' would have been defined as follows:  A person who determines one's humanity and value based on the color of their skin, their gender, or other inherent traits, and behaves accordingly.  That definition applies perfectly to today's Democratic Party.  One's skill set, experience, and competence are irrelevant for Democrats, whereas our skin color, genitalia, and sexual preference are paramount.  Democrats are the very essence of bigotry, but they disguise their prejudice as wokeness and virtue-signaling.  And while it must be enticing for Republican leaders to consider following the Democrats' lead — thereby elevating women and non-white men to prominent positions simply because they are women and non-white men — they must resist the temptation.  It's bad for our country, it would be bad for the party, and most importantly:  it's wrong.

Texas Democrat party refuses the resignation of chairman who called Republican Tim Scott an 'Oreo'.  A Texas county's Democratic Party has sparked outrage by refusing the resignation of the chairman who called Republican Tim Scott an 'Oreo'.  Gary O'Connor, the Lamar County Democratic Party chairman, said he was 'deeply sorry' for using the 'racist term' and announced his plans to step down.  But his colleagues then issued their own statement to MyParisTexas.com saying: 'Our local Democrats have taken the last few days to reflect upon this incident. [...] After much discussion — especially among our local [b]lack Democrats — we chose not to accept Mr. O'Connor's resignation'.

Democrat problems in Texas compound after Democratic county leader called Sen. Tim Scott an 'oreo'.  Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina made an unusual splash with his response to Joe Biden's quasi-State of the Union address, declaring — with the weight of his life experience in the real Jim Crow era in comparison to today — that America "is not a racist country." [...] Ordinarily, people pay attention to the president's speech, not the rebuttal.  But Scott's rebuttal is what got the attention.  The left was vile, spewing out a slew of racist epithets against Scott for his "heresy."  When Scott said America wasn't racist, they sought to prove him wrong — by hurling every racist epithet they could think of at him, as if to prove him wrong by showing them their own stripes.  "Uncle Tim," "Boy," and pictures of Al Jolson in blackface were just some of the disgusting things I saw on Twitter, all of them posted by leftists.

Kansas Legislature Overrides Governor's Veto.  Kansas' legislature has just overridden its governor's veto and put into law a set of election reforms similar to those that just weeks ago Joe Biden declared were "Jim Crow on steroids."  Biden would know these laws are nothing like Jim Crow, if he still had all his mental faculties, because he was around for Jim Crow.  Biden happily cavorted with segregationist Democrats when it suited him.  And Jim Crow was a Democrat policy.  Biden called slammed Georgia a month ago, and Coke, MLB, American, and Delta Airlines duly lined up with Biden and his shrill supporters — many of whom, like Stacey Abrams, can't actually win elections.  Their power is mostly on social media and as any real PR pro will tell you, much of what you see on social media isn't real.  MLB moved the All-Star Game from majority black Atlanta to very white Denver in the name of social justice, or something.  Following Biden is a fool's game and has been for going on 50 years.  He's the guy who would have left Osama bin Laden alive 10 years ago if it had been up to him.

The Democrats in the Era of Joe Crow.  The Democratic Party has always been a racist party.  Any interested person who has studied the internal workings of this duplicitous faction is aware of its racist history, its elitist framework, its systemic arrogance, hypocrisy, and intellectual dishonesty — and, more disturbingly, of its brightly lit scaffold of democratic pretensions. [...] Democrats have always reveled in their abiding fantasy of owning and controlling entire populations of voters.  There is a terrible motive in that urge to create properties of men and women, to use them without justice in a massive vote-farming scheme; but Democratic strategists have lately rediscovered a political advantage in dividing the families of mankind against one another according to the color of their skin — of targeting and separating them into racial or ethnic groups, of stirring hatred into their spirit, of buying them with promises, of feeding them with propaganda, and selling them into dependency to progressive overlords.  It is called "identity politics," and of all the evils that partisan interests have devised for usurpation and the ends of power, this pure invention of tortured reasoning is the most dehumanizing, egregious, and corrupt.

Klanned If You Do, Klanned If You Don't.  Next week, the Biden administration is expected to enact a ban on menthol cigarettes, because menthols are genociding black Americans.  An estimated 85% of black smokers use menthols, over three times the percentage of whites.  Tobacco-related disease kills over 45,000 blacks a year, making it the No. 1 preventable cause of death for black Americans that doesn't involve Gorilla Glue.  Black health advocates argue that menthols are more addictive and more toxic than regular smokes (don't even get them started on Courvoisier).  If blacks won't stop lighting up the infernal cigs, the advocates reason, the FDA must ban them — something the administration can do without congressional approval.  An alternate proposal for dealing with the menthol problem was to stare black people in the face and tell them, "You don't want to buy death sticks.  You want to go home and rethink your life."  This approach, however, was rejected by the Congressional Black Caucus due to fears of what might happen to the black community's reflexive and habitual support for Democrats if American blacks actually did go home and rethink their lives.

Texas Democrat Resigns after Calling Tim Scott an 'Oreo'.  The Texas Democratic leader who called Senator Tim Scott an "oreo" has resigned in response to mounting pressure from state officials on both sides of the aisle.  "I am deeply and sincerely sorry for my inappropriate and hurtful use of racist term I used to describe Sen. Tim Scott on my personal Facebook page.  It was insensitive, and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use," Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O'Connor told the Washington Examiner Tuesday [5/4/2021].  "As a result, I feel compelled to offer my resignation as chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party for consideration by the County Executive Committee," O'Connor said.  After Scott delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden's joint address to Congress, O'Connor labeled the senator an "Oreo", referring to a black individual who is perceived as displaying characteristics of a white person.

The Editor says...
 What are the "characteristics of a white person" anyway?

Texas Rep Calls For Dem Official To Resign After Racist Slur About Sen. Tim Scott.  A county Democratic official from Northeast Texas is facing demands to resign after he used a racist slur to refer to South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott following the GOPers rebuttal to President Biden's speech Wednesday night.  "I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles," Lamar County Democratic Party chair Gary O'Connor wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post, Fox News reported.  Scott, one of only three Black U.S. Senators and the only Republican, has faced a barrage of racist attacks since his response to Biden's address to Congress, including being called "Uncle Tim," a reference to the novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."  That slur trended on social media for several hours Wednesday night.  Twitter later banned the term from its trending topics.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calls on Democratic official to resign for labeling Sen. Tim Scott an 'oreo'.  A Texas Democratic Party official is facing calls to step down after referring to Sen. Tim Scott, South Carolina Republican, as an "oreo."  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott demanded Saturday [5/1/2021] the resignation of Gary O'Connor, chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party, after he said in a since-deleted Facebook post criticizing Mr. Scott as "little more than an oreo with no real principles."  "This is disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable," the Republican governor tweeted.  "O'Connor must apologize to @SenatorTimScott & step down immediately."

The True Face Of Racism.  Did you know that "news" has a race?  I bet you didn't.  It didn't always, it used to just be news — which is simply the recounting of what happened.  But now it has a skin color.  A few years ago, NBC News created "NBC Black," which bills itself as "Elevating America's conversation about black identity, politics, & culture.  Telling stories by, for, and about the black community."  They also have "NBC Latino," which they surprisingly haven't yet renamed LatinX (likely because they want people to know what [...] they're talking about, since only mostly white, ultra-leftists use that made up term), which purports to exist to "Elevating the conversation around Latinos in the United States."  And, of course, there is NBC LGBTQ, "NBC Out is the LGBTQ section of @NBCNews.  We write and produce content about and of interest to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community," and NBC Asian American — "News, features, videos about #AAPI communities." [...] Maybe it's good business, but it's not good for the country.

Race Demagogues Are Poisoning Our Politics.  Senator Tim Scott is entirely right:  "America is not a racist country."  But America has a serious racial problem.  Not a racism problem, a racial problem.  We have a party in power whose strategy for remaining in power is to divide the country along racial lines.  Democrats calculate that urban-centered racialist tribalism, amplified by media and pop-culture allies and underwritten by cowed corporations, can cast mainstream America as a deplorable bastion of white supremacism.  The Republicans, the party out of power, generally lack Senator Scott's confidence and tact in making the counter-case.  The Department of Justice is a key to the Democrats' strategy.  The Obama-Biden administration politicized the law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus of our government, peddling with relish the progressive portrayal of an indelibly racist America.

Why Is the Left Allowed to Be 'Transphobic' and Racist?  Last week, I asked why there was no uproar from LGBTQ activists when Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner was "misgendered" and mocked by the left after announcing that he would run for governor of California.  (In reality, some of the mocking came from LGBTQ activists, who painted Jenner as a fame-hungry reality TV star.)  And where was the uproar when Bill Maher questioned the "born that way" dogma, stating, "Wasn't always sure about the man-woman thing, but low capital gains taxes — born that way."  To be sure, there were some scattered voices of protest, but not a fraction of what would have happened had the mockery been pointed towards someone like Richard "Rachel" Levine, President Biden's appointee as assistant secretary for Health and Human Services.  But all that pales in comparison to some of the attacks on Sen. Tim Scott after he responded forcefully to Biden's address to Congress on Wednesday night.

Behar Goes Full Racist, Says Black GOP Sen. Tim Scott 'Does Not Seem To Understand' Racism.  There's probably nothing more ironic than a white liberal telling an African-American man that he does not understand "racism."  During an off-the-rails segment on ABC's "The View," co-host Joy Behar said South Carolina Republican Sen. does not seem to understand the difference between racism and systemic racism.  The conversation began when the panel spoke about Scott giving the State of the Union rebuttal to Joe Biden's speech on Wednesday, during which Scott talked about race and said that the United States isn't a racist country.  "He does not seem to understand — and a lot of them don't seem to understand — the difference between a racist country and systemic racism," Behar told the panel.

FDA moves to ban menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars.  The Biden administration moved Thursday to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars, fulfilling a key goal of anti-smoking groups who say the products harm minorities while sparking a debate about government overreach and the potential creation of an underground market.  Health Secretary Xavier Becerra said the Food and Drug Administration's decision to kickstart the removal will help "our most marginalized communities" and accelerate the decrease in overall tobacco use.  "Tobacco-related death and disease must become a part of America's past.  These public health measures will save lives," he said.  "Banning menthol in cigarettes and flavors in cigars will decrease the appeal of these tobacco products and strengthen health equity.  Together, these actions represent powerful, science-based approaches that over time will help end the cycle of children becoming the next generation of smokers and eliminate long-perpetuated health disparities."

Does 'anti-racism' also mean slurring black conservatives?  The latest target for online mobs is South Carolina's Republican senator Tim Scott.  His 'crime' is apparently being a black conservative who gave a thoughtful televised response to President Biden's address to a joint session of Congress.  The mob responded by calling him 'Uncle Tim', a none-too-clever play on the old racial epithet, 'Uncle Tom'.  Twitter allowed that hashtag to trend.  Scott has endured such insults before.  So have all black conservatives.  They shouldn't have to stand alone in their response.  Good people, including those who disagree sharply with conservatives, should stand with them.  Slanders like these, left unanswered, degrade us all.

CNN Laughs, Accuses Sen. Tim Scott of Tokenism, an Uncle Tom for GOP.  Casual racism was the disgusting tone CNN decided to go with following South Carolina Senator Tim Scott's delivery of the Republican response to President Biden's address to Congress Wednesday night.  Together, chief political correspondent Dana Bash and senior political correspondent Abby Phillip cackled as they attacked Scott as a liar for defending Republican election integrity efforts and dispelling the false notion they were worse than Jim Crow.  As Bash was getting into her reaction to Scott's rebuttal, she started to give a wink and nudge to Scott's supposed status as a token black by noting his "brand" and "unique voice in the Republican Party."  She went on to essentially suggest Scott was being an Uncle Tom for defending something that was allegedly "worse than Jim Crow".

BLM and NAACP are slammed for their silence over racist 'Uncle Tim' attacks on GOP Senator Scott.  Black Lives Matter and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been harshly criticized by Republicans for failing to condemn the viral 'Uncle Tim' reference to Senator Tim Scott on Wednesday [4/28/2021].  Scott was compared to the racist 'Uncle Tom' trope that depicts black people as subservient after delivering the GOP rebuttal to President Joe Biden's speech before Congress in which he defended the country as not racist.  Scott spoke extensively about race, and made the point that while he had personally experienced discrimination, he did not believe the United States was an inherently racist country.

Blacks are smarter than Democrats believe.  A classic example of Democrats deigning to aid those they consider uneducated and needy is their opposition to Georgia's recently enacted election law.  The law, passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by GOP governor Brian Kemp, attempts to ensure election integrity by enforcing certain rules that would essentially make certain that those who vote are doing so without the use of deceitful tactics.  One would think all Americans would want to keep fraudulent voters from hijacking the election process.  Think again!  Democrats have cried foul, saying the changes will make it more difficult for some minorities and poorer voters to cast a ballot.  What is the basis for their opposition?  Well, the loudest objection to the bill seems to be the part that requires that those who vote by mail have a valid ID.  Georgia always required proper ID for in-person voting, but not for voting absentee by mail.  However, because of so many irregularities with absentee ballots in the 2020 election, this law was needed to keep plebiscites honest.  Therefore, going forward, Georgians must submit a driver's license number or state ID number when requesting or returning ballots by mail.  Those voters who don't have said ID can send in a photocopy of a different form of ID.  Then the Georgia Department of Driver Services can issue free state ID cards.  In addition, when a voter returns an absentee ballot, he may also use the last four digits of his Social Security number instead of an ID number.

Lefty yard sign
Do those yard signs signal virtue or stupidity?  On a recent walk, I came across a neighborhood littered with the yard sign in this photo.  It seems the provocative platitudes we've seen on bumper stickers for a century have now taken root in our yards. [...] Then there's "Black Lives Do Matter."  The addition of "Do" pretends to be an effort to persuade people who think black lives don't matter that in fact they do.  Unless, it's understood, those black lives are unborn ones, which account for a highly disproportionate number of American abortions or those black lives are those of young black men who are murdered by other young black men, which is the main cause of death among young black men.  But there are no such people.  Nobody — not a single person — thinks black lives don't matter.  I think black lives matter, just as I think brown, yellow, white and red lives matter.  I think all lives matter.  That's where all decent people come out.  But it's impermissible to say so.  We're scolded that "all lives matter" is racist.  And so, people don't say it for fear of being name-called.  Think about that for a second.  Non-black Americans — 87% of America — have been bullied into denying that their own lives matter.


Pastor claims legalizing marijuana is demonic effort by Democrats to manipulate Black people.  A pastor claims that Democrats may legalize marijuana as a demonic effort to manipulate and control Black people.  However, he might forget that making marijuana illegal allows folks to be arrested and jailed at disproportionate rates, thus controlling people that way too.  [Video clip]

Did Amazon Pull Clarence Thomas Documentary Off Their Site in Order to Pull Him Off Their Case?  Does Amazon intend to test Thomas's word should a Section 230 case come before the Supreme Court; insisting he recuse himself because Amazon's decision to pull, "Created Equal:  Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," from its site creates a conflict of interest?  The possible motives behind Amazon's decision to take down from its platform the popular documentary about the prominent African-American Supreme Court Justice, especially during Black History Month, has bewildered and astounded many commentators, on the left and on the right, including Mark Paoletta.

A Great New Idea for Reducing Police Shootings.  [Scroll down]  If a mentally ill Caucasian shoots up a bunch of sleazy massage parlors that offer services not covered by health insurance as part of a medically prescribed rehab program, and if those operations happen to be sites whose women the shooter actually preferred patronizing, and if they happen to be women of Korean or other Asian descent, suddenly we have a national campaign generated by Democrats and their left-media cartel regarding anti-Asian hate.  These campaigns "against anti-Asian violence" get launched and intensified by the same exact anti-Asian bigots on the left who keep worthy and deserving Asian-Americans out of many of our best universities.  Thus it is fine to discriminate against Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, and Vietnamese Americans in our universities and at the workplace — but let's take to the streets to defend those neighborhood massage parlors.

WaPo 'fact-checks' black Senator Tim Scott for not being oppressed enough.  The Washington Post's resident fact checker Glenn Kessler dug into the ancestral background of Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who has been tapped to give the GOP response to President Biden's State of the Union address next week.  Scott, who is an outspoken conservative, has written and spoke[n] about his family's background and his ancestors' work in cotton fields and agriculture.  For Kessler, Scott's placement as a Republican contender to Biden's message means that his ancestry is open for debate.

WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodges question on Biden's contribution to 'systematic racism' in U.S. during his 30 years as senator.  Jen Psaki dodged a reporter's question Wednesday [4/21/2021] and cut him off abruptly when she was asked if President Joe Biden plans to address his role in systemic racism while a senator for more than three decades.  'To what extent does President Biden acknowledge his own role in systemic racism and how does that inform his current policy positions?' New York Post reporter Steven Nelson asked Psaki during her briefing Wednesday.  He noted that Biden is 'an architect of multiple federal laws in the 1980s and 90s that disproportionately jailed black people and contributed to what many people see as systemic racism.'

Rep. Burgess Owens:  Comparing Voter ID Laws To Jim Crow Is 'Disgusting' And 'True Racism'.  Republican Rep. Burgess Owens slammed Democrats and President Joe Biden for comparing Georgia's newest election law mandating voter ID to Jim Crow laws.  Not only does Owens believe the Democrats' attempts to mischaracterize voting restrictions are "true racism," but he also said the "soft bigotry" used by the left downplays his experience "as someone who's actually experienced Jim Crow laws."  "President Biden said of the Georgia law, 'This is Jim Crow on steroids,'" Owens explained in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled "Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote" on Tuesday.  "With all due respect, Mr. President, you know better.  It is disgusting and offensive to compare the actual voter suppression and violence of that era that we grew up in with a state law that only asks that people show their ID.  This is the type of fearmongering I expected in 1960s, not today."

BLM Organization: 'Communities Terrorized at Greater Rate' Under Joe Biden than Donald Trump.  The Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization expressed its displeasure Tuesday [4/20/2021] with President Joe Biden for "sending more military equipment" to local police than former President Donald Trump.  "Our communities are being terrorized at a greater rate than they had been under Trump," the organization tweeted.  "Biden is currently sending more military equipment to our neighborhoods than Trump did.  You read that right," they claimed.  BLM also noted Biden's first 100 days are quickly approaching, a deadline the organization has set for ending "transfers" of military equipment to local communities.  "Biden's first 100 days are up in 10 days.  By then we need him to which transfers military equipment into the hands of police across the country — including school & campus police," they tweeted.

The Editor says...
 The concept of a president's first 100 days is a cliche and an arbitrary news media construct with no basis in law, as far as I know.  The "mainstream" news media loves to cover political races as if they are neck-and-neck, even when they aren't.  They also like to report about impending deadlines, and if there's not one, they will fabricate it.

Don't Forget:  Democrats Crushed a Senate Police Reform Bill Because They Didn't Like the Black Man Proposing It.  The progressive left-wing in this country loves to throw gasoline on the fires of unrest in this nation, but they are never really interested in finding reasonable solutions.  Case in point: the problem of police violence in America.  This is not a new problem.  It is not a problem that's just popped up out of thin air.  Black Americans have been complaining about the issue for decades and decades.  Obviously, there is something here that needs to be addressed.  Who do we turn to in order to address the myriad of nuanced issues surrounding the larger conundrum of police brutality in Black communities?  Legally speaking, we generally turn to our representatives, whom we vote into office to represent We the People.  The progressive left is all too eager to get the government involved after every tragedy.  Their only solutions are to make more laws and usually they love it when, after a tragedy, they can present more laws to be voted on.  Except when it might actually solve a problem.

The Early Line on the Next Election.  There is something strange about the behavior of Biden and the Democrats that can be best explained by a combination of Progressive mania and panic that their power might well slip away from them unless they lock it down by changing the rules in their favor and whipping up paranoia within key minority groups who are showing signs of slipping away.  Hence the relentless charges of racism. [...] The Democratic push to expand voting participation might not be the slam dunk for their side that they think.  Are minorities defecting from Democrats because Democrats aren't reminding them of racism enough?

Who are the racists?  Who, again, is a racist?  We hear about racists a lot these days.  Racists are supposedly all over.  Might they be people like Bill Gates who believe that requiring the right answer and showing your work in math are an example of white supremacy and racism?  Or the majority of people who believe that all races are capable of getting the right answer and showing their work, and that in order to succeed, they must learn that the correct answer is the only right answer?  Is it they?  Or is it the party that continually claims that it is racist to require an ID to vote?  Or the other party that knows that every person old enough to vote is capable of getting a photo ID and must have one in order to follow all the rules that the government and businesses require?  The party that is willing to destroy minority businesses in Georgia and elsewhere with lies about voting laws?  Or the party that wants all businesses to succeed and believes that all people who are legally eligible have a right to vote?  The party that has continued to keep businesses and schools closed, that is especially harmful to the poor, minorities, and women?  Or the party that strives to get them open as fast as they can?

Thanks, Captain Obvious!  NBC Realizes MLB Move Hurts Black-Owned Atlanta Businesses.  After a campaign of disinformation over the Georgia voter bill that helped pressure Major League Baseball (MLB) to move the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver, Colorado, Wednesday's [4/7/2021] NBC Nightly News stumbled onto the truth once they poisoned the well, which was the decision will have a negative economic impact on Atlanta businesses and especially Black-owned establishments.  Anchor Lester Holt stated the obvious in an opening tease that there was "unintended fallout from the MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta on local businesses."

Democrats hurl rotten tomatos at Latinos who voted for Trump, insulting them as 'low information voters'.  How's this for some disgusting, insulting, patronization of Latino voters from the left-wing Democrat political consultant establishment? [...] These Equis creatures who came up with this epithet were former Obama operatives, of course.  Their "analysis," if you can call it that, would have you think that any Latino voter who voted for President Trump had to be either an "incorrigible" Cuban-American voter from Miami, whom they've known about for years, or a "low-information voter" who couldn't tell you who the president was if they were voting for him themselves.  Facts on the ground tell the exact opposite story.  Obama was for open borders?  Check.  Latinos in those border counties of Texas — and they are very Latino indeed — saw how that policy worked out as the illegal migrants surged in.  They voted for Trump a little in 2016, and voted for Trump a lot in 2020, shocking Democrats who were utterly stupefied to see that Trump carried those counties.

White Progressives Are Here to Help What They Believe Are Poor, Dumb Negro Voters.  What would black people do without their white saviors on the hard left?  How would your average black person survive if it weren't for progressives constantly hovering above them with their angel wings, ready to swoop in whenever an African American needed to figure out how to use computers, obtain identification, or even understand what is written on their driver's licenses?  These are likely some of the questions that people like Democrat attorney Marc Elias ask themselves as they read the New Yorker while munching on their avocado toast.  In fact, Elias made an utter fool of himself on social media when he decided to go full white savior on the voter ID issue.  RedState's Sister Toldjah wrote a piece explaining how Elias tried to use a photo of a black woman to imply that black folks can't figure out how to find their driver's license number when looking at their identification.  Naturally, after the predictable blowback, the attorney tried to make it seem as if his tweet was not about race.

Refuting left-wing myths with facts.  A couple of years ago, I gave a speech before a conservative, predominantly white audience.  I couldn't help but notice a tall, heavyset Black man, arms folded, standing in the back.  From time to time, I would look at him, only to see him frown and shake his head, I assumed disapprovingly, when I made what I considered important points.  After the speech, he came up to me.  "I am angry," he said.  "Not at you — at myself.  I thought I was well informed.  I read the news.  I watch the news.  I now see I've been manipulated by the party that I voted for all my life."  He then ticked off some of the points I made in my speech that he said surprised or even shocked him.  He said he had no idea that (according to a 2004 Thomas B. Fordham Institute study) 44% of Philadelphia public school teachers send their own school-age kids to private school.  Yet the Democratic Party adamantly opposes school vouchers, which would give K-12 children of urban parents a chance at a better school.

Welcome to the new Jim Crow.  Vaccine passports are racist.  One thing we know about the rollout of COVID vaccinations across the country is that white people are being vaccinated at significantly higher per capita rates than Blacks or Hispanics.  Whether this is a result of greater rates of vaccine hesitancy among minorities or uneven distribution of the vials as they become available is a matter you are free to debate.  But the underlying numbers haven't changed.  Black people in particular are being vaccinated more slowly than whites.  That means that significantly fewer Black people will be qualified to receive immunity passports and will be denied access to many public events as society continues to reopen.  So doesn't that mean that vaccine passports are... racist?

Are Democrats Dangerous to Your Health?  Consider the performance of Republican governors versus Democratic governors in keeping minorities free from COVID-19 infection and death.  On a national basis, it is true and troubling that minorities have been more adversely affected by COVID-19 than whites.  The media reports this all the time.  But the story that hasn't been told is that Democratic governors have done a much, much worse job keeping Blacks protected from the virus than red-state governors.  For proof of this, I checked the racial composition data from The Atlantic's COVID Tracking Project through January 2021.  Two findings jump out.  First, Blacks per 100,000 population were substantially MORE likely to die from COVID-19 if they reside in blue states with a Democratic governor than in red states with a Republican governor.  Of the 10 states with the highest rates of COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 Black residents — led by New York, New Jersey and Michigan — most have Democratic governors.  Eight of the 10 states with the lowest death rates for Blacks have Republican governors.

GOP congressman:  It's racist to suggest voter ID requirements hinder African-Americans.  Rep. Mo Brooks, the Alabama Republican now running for U.S. Senate, says the "socialist Democrats" who argue that requiring a photo ID to cast ballots would hinder African-Americans voters are actually racist.  Brooks, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, said that everyone, regardless of race, has an equal ability to obtain photo identification in America.  "They, the socialist Democrats, are arguing that Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Caucasian Americans, somehow have the ability to vote, have the ability to get photo ID, but the socialist Democrats are in effect arguing that somehow or another African Americans are inferior and unable to do what other races are doing, therefore, African Americans need to be protected in some fashion and should not be subject to voter identification," Brooks told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Monday [3/29/2021].

Tim Scott:  Democrats Used the Filibuster They Say Is Racist Against My Police Bill Last Year.  On Friday's broadcast of "Fox News Primetime," Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) criticized Democrats for saying that the filibuster is racist after they used the filibuster to block his police reform bill last year.  Scott said, "It was a frustrating, irritating moment where the Democrats used the filibuster to block police reform that would have positively impacted disproportionately African American communities.  Here's what we know about the Democrats:  They were for the filibuster before they were against the filibuster.  I keep asking myself, will the real Chuck Schumer please stand up?  Is it the one who was for the filibuster or is it the new one who's now against the filibuster?"  [Video clip]

The Democrats' War on Black Americans.  Today's wave after wave of illegal migrants, otherwise human chattel, are overrunning and overwhelming our southern border security, by design from dementia plagued president-in-name-only Joe Biden and his hate-America-first Democrat party Marxist handlers.  This is the Marxist Democrat party war on Black Americans, cynically packaged globalist modern-day slave trading, replacing freedmen citizens with indentured aliens.  Interior enforcement officers given stand-down orders are inundated with thousands of CCP Covid-19 diseased, illegal, and illiterate mendicants delivered by open-borders supremacists who have outsourced migratory human-trafficking transit logistics to Mexican cartel criminal enterprises, all encouraged, reinforced, and given sanctuary[.]  Where are the illegal migrants re-settled?  Large urban centers and small cities all across the country heavily populated by Black Americans:  More than a million each in NYC and LA, hundreds of thousands from Riverside, CA to Charlotte, NC to Lowell, MA.

For the Left, Bigotry Is a Tool.  The same sources decrying anti-Asian sentiment have spent years expressing anti-Asian animus in the form of discriminatory college admissions standards:  President Joe Biden's administration dropped a discrimination case against Yale University just a month ago, clearly thanks to the administration's position that affirmative action for black students outweighs Asian American success in a pure meritocracy.  The same people blaming "white supremacy" for anti-Asian hate crimes have militantly ignored the location of the crimes — largely major metropolitan areas, with a large number of such crimes coming not from white Americans but from black Americans (a plurality of overall violent crimes targeting Asian Americans, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, were committed by black Americans in 2018).  The same establishment media sources blaming Trump for anti-Asian hate cheer on the active closing of merit-based magnet schools in New York and San Francisco, thanks to those schools' disproportionate Asian American attendance:  Hannah-Jones tweeted last year that it was "disingenuous" to talk about "specialized high schools being majority POC" (people of color) when referring to Asian Americans.

Democrat Running For Congress Sends Picture Of Klan Hood To Candace Owens.  Democratic House candidate Liam O'Mara sent a picture of a Ku Klux Klan hood to conservative commentator Candace Owens via Twitter on Tuesday [3/23/2021].  O'Mara was responding to a tweet from Owens on Monday arguing that the "#1 violent offenders against black people are other black people.  The #1 violent offenders against Asian Americans are also black people.  But both #BlackLivesMatter and #AsianLivesMatter are campaigns dedicated to stomping out white supremacy because, clown world." [...] The potential congressman from California's 42nd District argued that Owens was "recycling explicitly white supremacist arguments."

The Democrat Party Has Declared War on America.  In the six decades prior to the 1960's, racial segregation (i.e., racism) was an institutionalized government sanctioned reality.  "Separate but equal" was the Supreme Court-endorsed (Plessy v.  Ferguson) directive of the land.  Thus, segregation, which particularly benefited the Democratic Party and trade unions, was sanctioned and promoted in varying degrees in a number of states. [...] The radicalized American Left has seized upon the existence of those attitudes in a small number of Americans combined with disparities in income and education to claim that "systemic or institutionalized racism" endures — when it does not.  They do so to a) intimidate the nonsensically guilt-ridden and oblivious segment of supposedly well-educated white America; b) incite resentment and raise expectations among minority communities; c) to make certain racial animosity engulfs the country; and d) to exploit the education establishment and corporations through the obligatory hiring of diversity bureaucracies.  All of which benefits the left in their quest to seize power in perpetuity.  They are deviously convincing minorities and gullible whites that white Americans are the only ethnic group in the history of mankind that has ever fueled racism.  They are implicitly leaving the impression with these groups that they will make certain the white populace pays the price for centuries of bigotry through their so-called solutions to "systemic racism".  Solutions which entail:  1) proclaiming that the white population will be punished through reverse discrimination and reparations and 2) reinstating "separate but equal" under the banner of equity.

Jill Biden — the Edith Wilson of the new administration.  In the early days of America, presidential first ladies were hostesses at the White House.  In recent decades, they're goodwill ambassadors for feel-good causes.  One exception to this rule was Edith Wilson, who, in 1919, appointed herself as acting president when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, was felled by a stroke in the second-to-last year of his administration.  It's beginning to appear that Jill Biden, married to a decaying, increasing mentally incapacitated man, has chosen Edith as her role model. [...] Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat and a progressive.  He still supported the Confederacy; segregated the formerly integrated federal civil service; screened Birth of a Nation, the pro-KKK film, in the White House; and believed firmly in eugenics.  That is, he believed that Whites are a superior race and that people with darker complexions are inferior, with their inferiority increasing in direct proportion to their increased melanin.  (In other words, he was the mirror image of Kristen Clarke, Biden's choice to lead the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice.)

Feinstein says she plans to serve out full term after Newsom vows to appoint a Black woman to replace her.  Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the 87-year-old veteran Democrat, insisted on Tuesday that she is committed to serving out her full term in office even after California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he had a list of "multiple" potential replacements and would appoint a Black woman to replace her should she retire.  "There's nothing to it," Feinstein told CNN on Tuesday about Democratic governor's remarks.  "No," she said when asked if she would retire before the end of her six-year term, which is set to expire at the end of 2024.  "I have not discussed that with anybody, nobody has asked me any questions about it."

 There goes another black female, knocked off the ladder of success by a greedy rich white person!

Columbia To Host Six Graduation Ceremonies Divided By Sex, Race, Income.  Columbia University is set to host six separate graduation ceremonies based on sex, race, and income in the name of "multiculturalism."  The graduations will "complement" the existing school-wide ceremonies.  The school's web page claims that the segregated events will "provide a more intimate setting for students and guests to gather, incorporate meaningful cultural traditions and celebrate the specific contributions and achievements of their communities."  The ceremonies provided include a "Native Graduation" for Native-American students, a "Lavender Graduation" for students who identify as part of the LGBTQ community, an "Asian Graduation," a "FLI Graduation" for "first-generation and/or low-income community" members, a "Latinx Graduation," and a "Black Graduation."  According to a report by the National Association of Scholars, more than 75 schools across the nation offer optional segregated graduation ceremonies to students.  The most notable and elite institutions include Harvard, the University of California-San Diego, the University of California-Irvine, Arizona State University, Stanford, the University of California-Berkeley, UCLA, and Yale.

The Editor says...
 If the graduation ceremony or the whole school is restricted to one race or gender, excluding all others, that's monocultural, not multicultural.

Leftists' inconsistencies are catching up with them.  Going back at least as far as Franklin Roosevelt, Democrats have been the blue-collar party.  And going back to the Civil Rights movement, even though the Democrats had to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting the Civil Rights Act, they've positioned themselves as the party of Blacks.  However, over the past four years, Democrats transformed from being highly supportive of illegal immigrants to a completely open borders party.  Biden, despite having sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, has erased entirely U.S. sovereignty and all immigration laws.  Now, blue-collar workers and Blacks (two strongly overlapping groups) have realized that the Democrat party has just invited in millions of people who will take their jobs, lower their wages, compete with them for housing, bring more crime to their neighborhoods, and overwhelm their schools.

Biden's Border Brouhaha is Just the Start.  [Scroll down]  Do you Dems not understand that unlimited immigration hurts the undereducated and underskilled PoCs the most?  Do you Dems not understand that the minimum wage prices undereducated and underskilled PoCs onto the unemployment line? [...] And do you Dems not understand that wokery like "decolonizing math" means that white Beckys go buy homeschool math books for their children and PoC children get screwed?

Jill Biden, the Meghan Markle in the WH, is egregiously guilty of elder abuse.  [Scroll down]  Every poll, even those rigged by leftists, shows that Americans do not support the violence perpetrated by Antifa and BLM.  They do not support defunding the police in any state or city.  Sure, those anti-White racists do support those groups and policies, but they are a minority.  Ask any Black mother trying to keep her sons alive beyond the age of fifteen in Chicago or Baltimore.

Stop the Balkanization of America.  Squad member Ayanna Pressley said, "If you're not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don't come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice.  We don't need Black faces that don't want to be a Black voice."  If a White member of Congress said that about White faces and White voices, we would ask where he kept his sheet and hood, and we would probably find them.  Squad member Rashida Tlaib said similarly, "When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free?"  We do not have Palestinian people here.  We have American people, some of whom may have emigrated from Hamas-infested "Palestine" the same way the ancestors of other Americans emigrated from various countries that were good places to be from, and I stress "from," like tsarist Russia, Nazi Germany, and fascist Italy.

Neo-racists in state government prioritizing Blacks and Latinos for Covid vaccination.  A new wave of racism is sweeping across the country in the guise of "anti-racism" or "equity."  A better term is "neo-racism," for unlike the previous waves of state-sanctioned racism under slavery, the KKK, and Jim Crow (all of them largely at the hands of Democrats), this wave of racism claims to be about fighting racism, though, in fairness, it is also largely being implemented at the hands of Democrats.

The Increasingly Secret History Of The Racist Democrats, And How Senile, Boomer Biden Heralds The End.  To celebrate Black History Month, The National Pulse provides the following, accurate account of the civil rights movement.  In the end, it was black writers and thinkers, operating mostly in alternative media, who won the argument.  The white Boomers atop the Oligarchy who silence political opponents under the banner of "racism" steal the valor of the real heroes for political gain.  In the late 1960s, Democrats in coordination with media, academia and the most powerful institutions in America, performed the greatest political card trick in history.  Until then, the upper echelons of the Democratic Party had a strong, historical association with racism.  When they could no longer use government to keep black people from their schools, neighborhoods, and clubs, they shamelessly appropriated the civil rights movement to feign a phony moral superiority.  Then they weaponized racism, turning the charge against their political opponents.  Merrick Garland is the latest shill in this long and contemptible history.

Infantilizing Minority Students.  Remember Ebonics?  It was a term invented some 55 years ago to describe the variant of English often used by black Americans when speaking among themselves. [...] The causes of widespread black and Latino underachievement in today's schools are several but hardly obscure: high rates of single motherhood (a problem first brought to public notice in Daniel Patrick Moynihan's 1965 report on "The Negro Family"); unmotivated public school teachers who are guaranteed tenure for life; judicial restrictions on the capacity of school administrators to suspend disruptive students, who make it impossible for their classmates to learn; the failure of government to support proven alternatives to the regular public schools in the form of charter schools or vouchers to finance attendance at private and parochial schools; and the gang "culture" amid which so many poor youth grow up.  But to blame educational underachievement on white supremacy is an act of pure demagoguery.

Golden Globes admits it has no black voters amid shocking snubs.  The Hollywood Foreign Press Association — the group of people who nominate and select winners for the annual Golden Globes — has come under fire for lack of diversity after a report found zero black members currently in the organization.  The Los Angeles Times did a bombshell deep dive into the "insular, improbably powerful group" and the mysterious identities of its 87 members, who often keep "low profiles."  The revealing report found that although the group has some members of color — there are no black members.  The HFPA confirmed to the outlet that there are indeed no black members — but claimed it's an issue they're "committed to addressing."

'Ethnomathematics': Tucker Carlson and Guest Shred the Insanity of 'Racist Math,' the 'Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations'.  Finding the right answer is racist.  The belief that there are objective answers — even in math — is a characteristic of white supremacy.  Math is used to uphold capitalist, imperialist, and racist views.  Insane?  Oh [...] yeah.  Welcome to "ethnomathematics," America.  Not only is ethnomathematics insane; it could not be more blatantly racist. [...] Every time something like this comes down the leftist pike, I wonder what people in China, Japan, India — any number of countries — think.  Do they laugh hysterically?  Do they simply shake their heads and say to themselves, "The Americans are idiots."?  Regardless of what the world thinks about the cancerous impact of the left on this country, they know what the left fails to understand:  we are purposely depriving our children of the ability to be able to compete with the rest of the world when they become adults, get jobs, and live in the real world.

How do leftists get away with their obvious racism?  They redefine racism to exclude themselves..  When Amy Coney Barret used the term, "sexual preference," during her Supreme Court nomination hearings, a term that was perfectly acceptable five minutes earlier, the leftist mavens of language changed it in real time so that it could used as a political weapon against her. [...] That same year, the Oxford Dictionary decided to change the definition of bigot from someone who is intolerant towards people who hold different opinions to someone who actually holds those opinions.  And just like that, the target of bigotry becomes the bigot, if you will. [...] This all means that if you are a leftist and there are racist things you want to say, but you don't want to be called a racist, you now have two choices:
  [#1]  Don't be a racist.
  [#2]  Change the definition of racist so that it does not include you.
Guess which one they went with.

The Reparations Solution:  The stark reality is that reparations for slavery have been used as a political tool by the Democrat Party for decades.  This is the ultimate irony because the Democrat Party was the party of slavery and the Ku Klux Klan, as noted [elsew]here.  And now they are all-in on disbursing other people's money to right the historical wrongs for which they themselves were primarily (but not exclusively) guilty.  Of course, this is of-a-piece with Democrats promising various constituent groups something for nothing.  Is that statement crass and unfeeling?  Let us examine the subject:
  •   Slavery ended in the US in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment; at the time, there were an estimated 4 million slaves freed.
  •   No living person has been a slave or slaveholder (with the exception of modern human traffickers servicing sexual predators) — certainly not in the sense of the slavery in 19th century America.
  •   The US was one of the first countries in the world to ban slavery, yet reparations-mongers seek to penalize innocent Americans while stigmatizing a country that actually ended slavery, which has been the scourge of mankind for thousands of years.
Despite the above points, white guilt continues to be a prime leverage point for the reparations-mongers.  That was how Barack Obama was sold to an unsuspecting nation.

How Rush Limbaugh rescued me from liberalism.  I first listened to Mr. Limbaugh in 1993 and I was intrigued.  I didn't really have a choice.  You see, the car I was driving at the time only had an AM radio and the only station it received was the one broadcasting Rush's syndicated show in the morning.  During my commute to work, my only listening choice was Rush Limbaugh.  At first, I listened out of morbid curiosity, since Limbaugh at this point in was beginning to become the subject of many news reports and features, many of which portrayed him as a racist.  Weeks had gone by and I had not heard this Limbaugh guy spew any racist venom.  But a funny thing happened:  I found myself agreeing with much of what he was saying.  At first, I was in denial because at the time I was a liberal and did not dare entertain the notion that I might have some conservative tendencies.  After all, I was told by my parents and the culture that Conservatives/Republicans were racist towards Blacks.  Now I was finding myself agreeing with a guy that the media had deemed as dangerous.  This was a real conundrum since, at the time, I believed everything the media reported as truth.

Biden: 'Not everybody' in Hispanic and Black communities 'know how to get online'.  President Biden said during a CNN town hall Tuesday night that Black and Hispanic Americans are getting vaccinated for the coronavirus at a slower rate than other demographics due, in part, to the fact that "not everybody" in those communities "know how to get online."  "A lot of people don't know how to register," the president told CNN host Anderson Cooper.  "Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/or inner-city districts, know how to use — know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreen's or at the particular store.  "So, I've committed to spend a billion dollars on public education to help people figure out how they can get in there," he added.

Smithsonian's Clarence Thomas Exhibit Guilty of 'Irresponsible Bias,' Black Conservatives Say.  A group of black conservative leaders has called on the National Museum of African American History and Culture to update its exhibit on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to correct what it calls "irresponsible bias" in the display.  "Black history cannot and should not be political," Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., wrote in a letter last week to the museum originally reported by Fox News.  "The American people deserve an unbiased assessment of the trailblazers in the Black community," he wrote, "[I]t is time to honor Justice Thomas with this long-overdue documentation of his whole life and history, and not the disingenuous effort displayed today."  Donalds' letter — which was also signed by Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Heritage Foundation President Kay C. James; Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece, Alveda King; and Republican commentator Paris Dennard, among others — draws attention to the disparity between the museum's exhibit on the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and that of Thomas.

Demography and Destiny.  More than half of all Africans who have come to the U.S. have come voluntarily, as immigrants, not as slaves.  And that majority grows every day.  Such Africans come here for the same reasons as everyone else, in search of opportunity.  Why should their legislative agenda prioritize an endless rehashing of the Democratic Party's sins of slavery and Jim Crow?  For quite a few years, liberals have confidently believed that demography is on their side; even that it makes their ultimate victory inevitable.  But as [Charles] Blow correctly observes, demographic tides may be moving in a very different direction.

How the Fake Media Destroy Trump Supporters Like NFL Legend Jim Brown.  Football legend Jim Brown is a Trump supporter and for committing the sin of being a free-thinking black man, the fake media are using the movie One Night in Miami to single him out for reputational destruction.  In order to spew a bunch of woke talking points, One Night in Miami is a terrible movie that uses a real-life event to spread a ton of lies about soul singer Sam Cooke being some sort of Uncle Tom.

Democrats: The Party of Systemic Racism.  Critical race theory and racial equality can be summed up in a single statement:  if you are white, you are racist and if you are a person of color, you are oppressed.  The combination of white guilt plus black victimhood is especially toxic.  Our self-anointed "Uniter-in-Chief" Joe Biden has jumped on the race hustler bandwagon under the guise of diversity training with his recent decision to rescind an executive order from former President Trump that would have put restrictions on advancing racial equality by limiting diversity training for federal government employees and its contractors.  In other words, more identity politics.  Unfortunately, this isn't an anomaly for Democrats.  This isn't a blip on the Democratic arc of history bending towards justice.  Judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character has a rich history in the Democratic Party.  Democrats have been solely responsible for defending slavery, starting the Civil War, opposing reconstruction, lynching blacks, founding the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws and segregation, poll taxes and literacy tests.  The Party voted against the 13th amendment (end slavery), 14th amendment (black citizenship), and 15th amendment (black right to vote), filibustered the 1960 Civil Rights Act (elimination of poll taxes), and tried to filibuster the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days, the longest filibuster in Senate history.

Yes, Democrats DID start the Ku Klux Klan (and it's still the party of racism).  The last time a Republican Presidential candidate got more than 15% of the black vote was 1960.  And yet the Democrats had a former KKK member in the US Senate until he died in 2010.  In fact, Robert Byrd wasn't just in the KKK, he recruited 150 friends to start a chapter!  Robert Byrd used the N-word on live television in 2001.  And then was re-elected as the Senator from West Virginia in 2006.

First Black Lt. Gov of North Carolina is Compared to the KKK for Being a Republican.  North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, a black Republican, is being compared to the Ku Klux Klan for opposing Marxist anti-white educational standards in the state legislature.  Robinson is the first black Lt. Gov. in North Carolina history, but that is not stopping the Left from comparing him to a Klansman.  WRAL published the offensive and racist editorial cartoon that shows what Democrats think of minorities who do not follow their orders.

A Tsunami of Hate.  [Scroll down]  To be fair, there are two main areas of systemic racism in America today, but both are supported and enforced by the Democrat Party, which is why they exist.  The first is the systemic racism that traps inner city children — mainly ethnic minorities — in inferior schools that for fifty years and more have failed to provide 80 percent of them with the skills that are necessary to succeed.  Every year 40% of inner city children drop out of school without graduating, and 40% of those who do, are functionally illiterate.  The Democrat teacher unions — the same which went on strike during the pandemic with full pay at the expense of children who could not afford to miss school — exert absolute control over these school systems and have stifled all attempts at reforms.  They are unalterably opposed to every alternative to their racist policies, from charter schools to vouchers that give inner city kids the same privilege as their middle-class counterparts, to allow their parents to enroll them in schools that will teach them.

Be a tribe of one.  Suppose you're a die-hard Democrat.  What do you do about such issues as: [...] Schools for minorities.  Do you side with Chicago public school teachers — overwhelmingly Democrats — who want to continue receiving their salary while schools are closed indefinitely on the pretense of COVID fears?  Or do you side with black parents — overwhelmingly Democrats — who want to see their kids back in school and point to safe school re-openings across the country?  There's the same issue on school choice.  Do you side with teachers and their unions — overwhelmingly Democrats — who want to restrict school choice by black parents?  Or do you side with those black parents — overwhelmingly Democrats — who want to send their kids to the best schools available?

Biden Sends Message to Black Voters:  Get To The Back Of The Bus And Wait Your Turn.  In his first week, President Joe Biden is sending a pointed message to the constituents who worked hardest to get him elected.  So far, he has announced his agenda for catering to illegal immigrants, the LGBTQ community, and even Asian and Native Americans.  But there is one group that he has ignored:  the black community.  The Hill reported on a series of executive orders Biden will enact in the coming days.  The noted, "Biden this week will focus on immigration, health care, climate and other areas, with each day following a designated theme."  Under the theme of "racial equity," Biden plans to issue a slew of executive orders.  For starters, he is "likely to establish a policing commission and reinstate Obama-era rules on the transfer of military-style equipment to local law enforcement," according to The Hill.  He will also direct the Justice Department to improve prison conditions and work towards eliminating private prisons.

Native American Tribe Calls Joe Biden's Drilling Freeze a 'Direct Attack' on Sovereignty.  A Native American tribe this week criticized the Biden administration's order halting agency approvals for oil, gas, and coal permitting on federal lands including tribal lands. [...] In a letter Thursday, chairman of the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee Luke Duncan wrote, "The Ute Indian Tribe and other energy producing tribes rely on energy development to fund our governments and provide services to our members."

Embrace black patriotism over victimization.  In 2019, marking 400 years since the first known Africans arrived on these shores from West Africa as slaves, the New York Times launched its ambitious 1619 Project.  It aimed to reexamine U.S. history through the lens of black history — as if American history began with the arrival of the first black folks.  The concept was well-intended, and the execution of its first episode well-documented.  Yet, it left me feeling that the New York Times missed at least half of the story.  By looking through the lens of black victimization, it paid too little attention to what I call "black overcoming" — our victories over adversity and achievements of success, sometimes in conflict but also often in cooperation with people from other races and ethnic groups.  The New York Times incorrectly assumes that the challenges facing particularly inner-city blacks are related to a legacy of slavery and discrimination.  This is patently untrue.

'White guy fires Black man on first day in office:' Biden sacks Surgeon General Adams.  U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams took to social media early Wednesday, ahead of Biden's inauguration, to say that the incoming administration asked him to resign — Biden will reportedly name an acting surgeon general within hours.  "I've been asked by the Biden team to step down as Surgeon General.  Its been the honor of my life to serve this Nation, and I will do all I can to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve and maintain health," he tweeted.

Left Radicals Exploit African Americans.  Left radicals always claim to champion African Americans, but the gulf between the real interests of the two groups is huge.  What American blacks need is to prosper and move up into the economic and societal mainstream, but left radicals hate that mainstream and want to tear it down.  So, if Blacks get what they need, radicals lose; while if radicals get what they want, Blacks lose.  The radicals who call themselves Black Lives Matter illustrate the point.  When violent BLM demonstrations destroy Black businesses and neighborhoods and their demonization of police causes a spike in Black deaths, BLM doesn't for a moment consider changing course to stop the carnage.  The issue of race certainly matters to radicals supporting BLM, but not in any way that benefits Blacks.  It matters chiefly because it gives them both numbers and a respectable issue.  By themselves, radicals wouldn't have the numbers they need to exert any serious influence, and none of their core issues resonate with the public in the way that racial fairness does.

Of Merit and Melanin:  Identity Politics and the Balkanization of America.  Identity Politics strips away the idea that we are all Americans first.  It places race, religion, creed, sexuality, and most importantly, skin pigmentation at the forefront of one's identity.  It maintains that America is a horrible place, filled with racists, sexists, and xenophobes, and is, in fact, the source of most of the world's problems.  This is a reversion to tribalism.  It repudiates everything that America stands for and could ultimately have catastrophic consequences.

Democrats Unleash Their Inner-Racism.  Race has always been an effective weapon for Democrats.  The party of slavery became the party of Ku Klux Klan, became the party of segregation, became the party of Jim Crow, became... the party of tolerance?  No.  In the name of "tolerance," Democrats have brought about segregated graduation, school dances, and college housing.  The circle is complete.  It'd be easier and faster to list things Democrats haven't made into a race issue than it would be to list what they haven't.  The latter consists mostly of the failed policies they've implemented in the cities they've controlled for generations, and they're only on the list because the complete economic collapse of those places can only be blamed on their actions.  If you wanted to condemn a race of people to a life of poverty and crime, you'd be hard-pressed to find a way to do it more effectively than Democrats have.

Kamala Harris Reminds Everyone She's the Queen of Cringe.  Kamala Harris, or 'Black Hillary' as Redstater Jeff Charles calls her, has got to be the most cringe politician of the last decade, at least in so far as someone who has risen to the top levels of our government.  To the extent that there's a comparison, and there certainly is, she makes Hillary look charismatic.  Almost as if to provide more evidence of this, the Biden transition team decided it'd be a good idea to ask Harris what Hanukkah is about on video, because being married to a secular Jewish man apparently qualifies her to do so. [...] For example, did you know that Hanukkah is just about "light," you know, because they light candles and stuff.  Harris repeats that line several times in the beginning, almost as if she doesn't know what else to say, likely because she doesn't know what else to say.

Joe Biden continues his reign of incoherence and weirdness.  [Scroll down]  You see, Joe has a habit of getting weird when it comes to black people.  I mean, he's weird around everyone, calling voters fat or stupid or accusing them of lying, but there's a special little mental twitch Joe has when he's talking to or about blacks.

Meet North Penn School District's J. Mia Kim:  A Racist Democrat Doing Racist Democrat Things.  J. Mia Kim, like all Democrats, looks at black and brown people with pity.  They don't see equality.  They don't see whole people.  They see charity cases and it's that bigoted perspective that has created yet more generations of racial disparity and thus division ever since the late 60s when Democrats lost the right to literally segregate and enslave brown people and decided instead to start doing so figuratively.  It's disgusting and history will record it for exactly what it's always been:  yet more racism from a bigoted Democrat party that never once in its history derived a shred of power from any other source.

Pelosi Omits Key Detail About First Black Congressman When Announcing Exhibit Honoring Him.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Whip James Clyburn omitted one key detail on Friday during the opening of an exhibit honoring former Rep. Joseph Rainey of South Carolina, the first black congressman in American history.  The exhibit, located in the United States Capitol, is named "Joseph Rainey: 150 years" and celebrates the 150th anniversary of Rainey's swearing-in on Dec. 12, 1870, as the first African American member of the U.S. House of Representatives.  During their presentation of the exhibit, however, Pelosi and Clyburn predictably failed to mention that Rainey was a Republican.

Baltimore's Kim Klacik Gives a 'How to Handle Bigots 101' Lesson After Twitter Insult.  When you're a minority who refuses to toe the liberal line, it is without fail that some self-proclaimed "tolerant" Democrats will throw insults in your direction suggesting in some way that you're a sellout to your race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. because you dare to think differently.  Baltimore conservative Kim Klacik, who was the GOP nominee for Maryland's 7th Congressional District (the seat formerly held by the late Rep. Elijah Cummings), is no stranger to this treatment, She's talked before about Democrats who have treated her as though she's inauthentically black simply because 1) she's a Republican who has very different views on the role of government in our lives than Democrats do and 2) she didn't buy into the left's bogus narratives about President Donald Trump allegedly being a "racist."

Where We Are.  [Scroll down]  You cannot create a world of perfect equality because people are not equal, and the attempt to make them so requires taking away the freedom of most for the benefit of what turns out to be a few.  You cannot create a government that is socially "just" because the people who will run it are the same people whose lies, bigotries, selfishness and greed created the unjust world you are attempting to leave behind.  The new rulers, corrupt as ever, will have more power than ever.  You can only make things worse.  Much worse.  I learned these truths first in my work with the Black Panther Party, a murderous street gang whom we regarded as "the vanguard of the revolution."  We did so because the Panthers were the only leftists with guns who were willing to use them.  The Panthers preyed mainly on vulnerable blacks but also murdered a friend of mine who was white.  My second awakening came with the success of the New Left's "antiwar movement," which forced America out of Vietnam.  The New Left's claims to be "anti-war" in behalf of the Vietnamese were actually two dangerous lies.  When the movement succeeded in forcing America's withdrawal from Indo-China, the Communists proceeded to slaughter two and a half million peasants in Cambodia and Vietnam.  There wasn't a single demonstration against the slaughter.  Not one.  I realized then that it was never an "anti-war" movement.  It was an anti-American movement.  The Left wanted the Communists to win and didn't care how many innocent Asians were murdered in the process.

BLM-LA has Just Discovered What L.A. Conservatives Have Known for Years About Mayor Eric Garcetti.  [Scroll down]  Welcome to the party, BLM-LA. Conservatives, especially Black conservatives have known this all along.  Garcetti has been flirting with higher office since he won his first mayoral election back in 2013.  After his second win in 2017, he was barely in the office, traveling the world polishing his bona fides, and refusing to commit to serving out his full second term. [...] His poor handling of the COVID pandemic, his almost salacious delight in the draconian lockdowns and arrest of Los Angeles residents, and his feigned ignorance over the sexual harassment charges filed against one of Garcetti's closest advisors, Rick Jacobs, are part of the laundry list of incompetent leadership and missteps that have marked his two-term tenure in Los Angeles.

John James' Closing Argument to Black Voters: 'I Believe a Voteless People Is a Hopeless People'.  Whatever the outcome of the Michigan Senate Race, Republican candidate John James has run a focused, inspirational and forward-thinking campaign.

Whitlock: White Liberals are 'Modern-Day Overseers' Whose Job is to 'Whip Us Back in Line'.  Here's a "Lil" of what Jason wrote on the subject on Friday [10/30/2020]:  ["]Chelsea Handler and other white liberals seem committed to keeping black people weak and dependent.  Their actions create the impression they want us (black people) eliminated from the intellectual olympics.  They elected themselves the stewards of our culture and political point of view.  Ms. Handler's public admonishment of Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) was reprehensibly racist and egomaniacal.  What was worse is that Mr. Jackson allowed her to do it without a strong public condemnation.  Too many black people mistake affinity for respect or value affinity above respect.  Absent respect, affection is inauthentic and worthless. [...] ["]

Why Shouldn't Black America Walk Away From The Democratic Party?  For years, Black America's absolute fidelity to the Democratic Party has been one of the bedrock assumptions of political calculations in the United States, with Democratic Presidential candidates regularly receiving some 90% of the black vote every four years.  The pattern was so pronounced that neither Republicans nor Democrats felt the need to aim campaign pitches at black Americans, Republicans because they felt it was useless and Democrats because they felt it was unnecessary.  During the same period, cities across American enjoyed uninterrupted Democratic Party control and uninterrupted decay.  Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia:  None has had a Republican mayor in the last half century.  Black Americans voted for Democrats in near-monolithic numbers since 1964 only to see the cities they lived in continue to get worse.  Now, thanks to President Donald Trump, that may all be changing.

Maxine Waters Calls Black Trump Voters 'Shameful,' Says She Will 'Never Ever Forgive Them'.  Rep. Maxine Waters of California appeared on "The Joe Madison Show" on SiriusXM on Friday, and called black voters who plan to vote for President Donald Trump "shameful." "I don't even know where any blacks would be coming from that would be voting for Trump," she said.  "It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump.  I don't know why they would be doing it.  I don't know why it is on their minds."

Countering 'You Ain't Black' with the Facts.  When comedienne Chelsea Handler noticed a pro-Trump tweet posted by her ex-flame 50 Cent, she became apoplectic and launched a bizarre social media crusade to change his mind.  Dripping condescension, she asked if he knew what his race was and insulted his intelligence, saying if he's black he can't vote Trump. [...] Her inability to accept that a black might support Trump is of a piece with presidential candidate Joe Biden's comment to radio host Charlamagne tha God:  "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."  Like many liberals in the public sphere, Handler insists that American blacks should assert race über alles, and their candidate choice should be monolithic and unidimensional — Democratic, that is — based solely on loyalty to the color of their skin.  The false equation "black = Democratic" has long been taken for granted by the Democrats, who conflate blacks' allegiance to their party with being true to their race.

'I Will Never, Ever Forgive Them': Maxine Waters Blasts Black Voters Who Choose Trump.  Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters said Friday that it was "shameful" that young black voters might consider casting a ballot for President Donald Trump. [...] Waters said that she didn't understand how any black American could cast a vote for Trump, saying, "It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump.  I don't know why they would be doing it.  I don't know why it is on their minds."  She went on to stress the importance of voter turnout, adding that if Trump were to win a second term he would take the United States in the wrong direction.  "The divisiveness that this deplorable human being has caused, the confrontation, the dog-whistling to the right-wing, the white supremacists, the KKK, and they are coming alive.  They are emboldened because they have a leader," she said.

Trump will win again, then comes the hard part.  Speaking of violent nuts, the media initially gave a lot of coverage to the "mostly peaceful protests" because they thought they hurt Trump.  Then they figured out that people not only don't like riots, they also don't like rioters — and nearly all the rioters are Democrats.  So the media cut back on their riot coverage.  But there are still riots, people know that, and people know that the rioters are Democrats.  Contrary to conventional Democrat "wisdom," minorities don't like the riots any more than the rest of America does — maybe even less since the riots are often in minority neighborhoods.  And they, too, know that the rioters — many of whom are privileged whites — are Democrats.  Many this time plan to vote against these rioters and their Democrat sympathizers.

Black Pro-Life Activists File Racial Discrimination Claim Against Planned Parenthood.  A coalition of black pro-life activists filed a racial discrimination claim against Planned Parenthood, asserting the organization has been targeting black women and babies for nearly half a century.  According to an announcement released last week at Christian Newswire, the National Black Pro-Life Coalition filed the racial discrimination claim with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).

Philadelphia Vietnamese Baptist Church is a "total loss" after protesters burned it Tuesday night.  The Vietnamese Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was burned on Tuesday night as the Black Lives Matter protests continued in Philadelphia following the police shooting of a Black man Monday.

BLM mob violently chases Jewish men showing 'solidarity' at Philadelphia protest.  Jewish men who said they were trying to show "solidarity" with Black Lives Matter protesters were violently chased away by the mob and ridiculed as being part of the "synagogue of Satan," according to disturbing video posted online.  The minute-long clip circulating on social media shows three men standing in the street during the protests sparked by the deadly police shooting of troubled local black man Walter Wallace.  "Amalek, what y'all doing down here?  You don't live here," someone asks the men, referencing the Amalek tribe, which the Jewish Virtual Library says was the first enemy of the ancient Israelites.  "Y'all know we the real Jews, right?" continues the raspy-voiced man, who appears to be the one filming the clip.

Vogue's Anna Wintour Apologizes After Black Staffers Call for Her Removal.  Vogue's editor Anna WIntour apologizes as black staffers call for her to resign and accuses her of using a racist word, favoring a "certain type" of employee — namely, those who were thin, white, and from an elite background — and cultivated a racist work environment, Breitbart reports.  "I strongly believe that the most important thing any of us can do in our work is to provide opportunities for those who may not have had access to them," Wintour said in a statement to the New York Times.  "Undoubtedly, I have made mistakes along the way, and if any mistakes were made at Vogue under my watch, they are mine to own and remedy and I am committed to doing the work."  An investigation by the Times, published Saturday [10/24/2020], describes how Wintour, who has been Vogue' editor in chief since 1988 and Condé Nast's artistic director since 2013, details the complaints of 18 individuals who have reportedly worked with Wintour.

Black voters no longer drinking media Kool-Aid.  My film and book of the same name, The Trayvon Hoax:  Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America, are continuing have an impact on all Americans.  They are especially helping to awaken black Americans about the race hoaxes the Democrats and their media allies have been playing on them.  As I spelled out in my speech last year at the National Press Club, they use these hoaxes to control black thinking and ultimately black voting.  When the COVID crisis began, quickly followed by the George Floyd incident and riots, I put the Trayvon Hoax film on YouTube for free.  It has since garnered more than 225,000 views and thousands of comments.  The comments from black youths are both sad and revealing.  They talk openly about the massive anxiety they were made to experience over the fear of being shot down in the streets by armed white men.

Chelsea Handler says she scolded 50 Cent over Trump support: 'I had to remind him that he was a black person'.  Chelsea Handler responded to ex-boyfriend rapper 50 Cent's perceived endorsement of President Trump by scolding him and "reminding him that he was black."  "I had to remind him that he was a black person, so he can't vote for Donald Trump," the comedian and television personality told Jimmy Fallon on Friday night [10/23/2020] in response to 50 Cent's viral social media post knocking Joe Biden's tax plan.

The Editor says...
 You had to remind him that he was black?  And these are some of the same people who say President Trump is a racist.

The Black Trump Vote:  Why African Americans should be very, very mad at the Democratic Party.  [Scroll down]  From 1830 to 1865, the Democratic Party worked to protect the unconscionable institution of slavery from being abolished.  From 1860 to 1960, it worked to preserve the cultural injustices of slavery through the Black Codes, segregation, and discrimination.  The famous fight to end segregation and address the economic and cultural damage it caused began in the 1960s with Democrat presidents John Kennedy and LBJ — but it was not a fight of Democrats against Republicans.  It was a fight of the new Democrat Party against the old Democrat Party. [...] Nothing captures this misuse of black Americans' struggles more clearly than the BLM black fist logo embedded in the rainbow of the LGBTQ movement. [...] That all might help explain why it is that the Democrats, especially those governing our major cities, have done so little for black communities.  They want them to be dependent so they can continue to be useful.  They need their hard-won moral capital to reinvigorate their Marxism — and that means, by the way, that black Americans must not be allowed to rise into the middle class.

The poor are being USED, on a colossal scale:
 The City is Killing America.  [Scroll down]  Cities concentrate civilizational achievements and challenges, but it's been a long time since cities were generating American achievements.  America's cities were once built to house industries and businesses.  Their only real business anymore is the business of government.  That's why the Democrat plan to stack the Senate depends on making D.C. into a state.  American cities aren't hyperdense blocs because of industrial density.  Even as the city went into a decline as an industrial center, municipal governments began building huge stacks of public housing meant to cram as many people as cheaply as possible into a single block.  Why did so many people need to be housed in such a small space?  It wasn't because they had jobs, but because they didn't.  And yet cities needed to keep growing, not because they had too many jobs to fill, but because their political influence depended on human capital. [...] That's what the battle over the census is about.

The 'Black Problem' in Television.  Larry Elder produced a fantastic documentary titled Uncle Tom that simply asks why blacks are expected to think and vote monolithically on issues critical to the black community.  It has been roundly ignored by the media since its release.  Sure, it can be viewed as a rental on places like YouTube or directly from Salem Radio's website, but in terms of equity of distribution, there is a sizable market loss when not accessed through a paid subscription service.  Likewise, it has become known that Shelby Steele, the independent black thinker, had a project titled What Killed Michael Brown? that was rejected by Amazon streaming services.  As the title suggests, this film explores the history and facts of the infamous Ferguson incident that ushered in a reinvigorated narrative of police-on-black brutality and murder.  For simply asking a question that runs counter to a prevailing (and acceptable) viewpoint, his material is effectively censored.

This New Biden Ad For Black Voters Would Be Called Patronizing & Racist If Trump Released It.  There is often reason to cringe when white politicians make clumsy attempts at minority outreach.  But rarely has the cringe been taken to this level.  A new ad from the Biden campaign, titled "Ultimate Rap League GOTV Battle Rap," begins with two black men meeting on a basketball court in the inner city before launching into a political debate in the form of freestyle battle raps.  The lyrics aren't great but that's no knock on the rappers.  It can't be easy to turn Joe Biden's policy proposals into compelling rap lyrics.  Joe Biden's policy proposals don't even make for compelling policy proposals.

If Biden Were a Republican.  Mr. Biden, you have a history of cultivating disturbingly close relationships with white supremacists.  As segregationists were dying off in the 1970s, you went out of your way to be pals with them, then bragged about it.  You once called notorious segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond "one of my closest friends."  In 1988, when you were mounting a run for president that collapsed when your multiple acts of plagiarism came to light, you deployed a dog whistle when you bragged that the arch-racist former Alabama governor George Wallace had given you a leadership award in 1973.  Also in 1988 you noted approvingly that the press would refer to you and Thurmond as the "marvelous marriage" and "the odd couple."  You later delivered a eulogy at Thurmond's funeral in 2003.  You once told Mississippi senator John Stennis, a racist opponent of school desegregation, that you viewed him as a "hero" and were honored to take over his office after he retired.  In 2010 you gave a eulogy at the funeral of Senator Robert Byrd, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan whom you called "a dear friend."

Dozens Of Black Employees Said They Faced Racism At Planned Parenthood, An Internal Audit Found.  Black employees at Planned Parenthood's national wing feel that they have been held to a different standard than the organization's white employees and that they are often expected to work more and given less leeway, an internal assessment obtained by BuzzFeed News found.  The assessment, which was commissioned by Planned Parenthood, was presented over a video meeting to Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) employee resource group Network of Black Associates on Wednesday [10/78/2020].  It was based on interviews conducted over the summer with 64 current and 12 former Black Planned Parenthood employees in all divisions and levels of PPFA.  A contracted group called Anti-Oppression Resource and Training Alliance (AORTA) conducted and presented the assessment, which overall found that the organization's Black employees feel that Planned Parenthood's treatment of them internally does not line up with its social justice-driven mission.

Blexit Member:  Being American 'Isn't a Skin Tone' But 'Knowing What Your Freedoms Are and Defending' Them.  A man who attended the Blexit "Back the Blue" event in the nation's capital on Saturday [10/10/2020] countered the narrative frequently touted by radical leftists, emphasizing that being American "isn't a skin tone" but "knowing what your freedoms are and defending those freedoms."  Hundreds gathered in the nation's capital for Saturday's Blexit's "Back the Blue" event.  One of the attendees pointed to the mix of people of all backgrounds and races, telling Breitbart News that it is emblematic of "what America is."  [Video clip]

Trump Is Now One With Countless Essential Workers.  Class differences, considerations, and interests are the real themes of this election.  They are on the side of the president who took the same calculated risks that millions do to meet the requirements of their jobs that simply cannot be done from basements and safe zones or over computers and smartphones.  Recently, Joe Biden, in his usual clumsy racialist fashion, at last confessed that his own half-year sequestration kept him safe only because, "some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf."  Aside from the reality that Biden usually stereotypes black people as either stock people, or clueless ("you ain't black"), or defenseless ("put 'y'all back in chains" ) or addicted to drugs ("you taking cocaine or not?  What do you think, huh?  Are you a junkie?"), he accidently stumbled upon a truth here.  Biden really doesn't take risks, because he assumes that others less privileged will take them on his behalf.

Flashback: Joe Biden Implied ThomasSowell Was Racist For Opposing Affirmative Action.  Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden implied that Dr. Thomas Sowell, Senior Fellow at The Hoover Institution at Stanford University, a black man, was racist for opposing the principles motivating affirmative action legislation.  The exchange occurred during the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Nominee Robert Bork in 1987.  Sowell attended the hearings to testify on behalf of Judge Bork and was given 10 minutes to make a case for his character.  It was during this hearing that Democrats, including then Sen. Biden, slandered Bork and failed to confirm him in a 42-58 vote.  Biden pushed Sowell on his public opposition to affirmative action, implying that Sowell, a black man, is racist for his opinion on the policy.

Joe Biden's History of Racial Comments.  Internal polling must be showing the Democrats hemorrhaging black support.  That would explain why Biden seeks to pin Trump as a racist to black voters.  Very specifically, he's attempted to have Trump disavow a lie that he supports white supremacists.  Meanwhile, the press has been ignoring the guy with the real racist history, former Vice President Joe Biden.  Biden made his mark as a young senator opposing federally ordered school busing and throughout his career lauded the positive relationships he had with segregationist senators who have long since died.  If you are unaware of Biden's past, it's because the ministry of disinformation, a.k.a., the media, has largely ignored it.

Flashback! Joe's eulogy for his good friend, former Cyclops Sen. Byrd.  Joe Biden was a good friend of the late Senator Robert C. Byrd.  He eulogized Byrd at his funeral, claiming 'Bob' "elevated" the Senate.  Biden left out the part where Byrd "exalted" the KKK.  He called former KKK Byrd the "embodiment" of his state.  [You had to be a Democrat to be a member of the KKK]  Watch and notice Gillibrand behind him (note how Joe sounded before he became senile):  [Video clip]

A Theory for Why Biden Can't Win Hispanics.  [Scroll down]  The Democratic Party thinks it owns them because they're brown.  But these people are more than just brown — they're grateful to be here because they're a lifestyle, a philosophy, an outlook, and a dream.  They are, in essence, a spirit totally incompatible with the leftists running the Democratic Party, and my mom and many others like her are proof of it.  The Democrats think Hispanics want socialism and an open border.  What the Democrats are finding out, especially as Hispanics get entrenched in this country, is that they have become the country — and that when they're a part of it, the Hispanics increasingly want MAGA.

Liberal Reporter Notes the Biggest Ally of White Supremacy, And It Isn't Trump.  Love him or hate him, Michael Tracey offers commentary that neither side is truly going to like, but it's necessary, nonetheless.  Progressives hate him because he shatters their fragile narratives about racism, Black Lives Matter, Russian collusion, and the overall Trump derangement that has engulfed the Democratic Party and the liberal media establishment.  He's not a conservative, so there you have it regarding what he says about the GOP.  Still, to get an honest take from the other side, he's worth a follow.  As of now, he seems to be angering the Left more with his pervasive attacks against the insanity that has engulfed his side of the aisle for almost four years.  During the debate on Tuesday, he ripped the media for recycling the white supremacist nonsense again.  First, he noted that he's been on the ground to areas heavily impacted by leftist riots.  There were no white supremacists.

The Left explodes when Republicans nominate women, blacks, or Latinos.  Judge Amy Coney Barrett's first Capitol Hill meetings were friendly encounters with Republican senators, but running the Supreme Court nomination gauntlet is bound to get tougher:  Conservative women and minorities have aroused some of the most furious Democratic opposition.  "We want to pray for her family, as we know these will be interesting, tough weeks," said Mercedes Schlapp, a senior adviser to President Trump's reelection campaign, in a Catholics for Trump conference call.  "I've gotta tell you, I'm really, really, really concerned," added Trump deputy campaign manager Justin Clark.  Barrett's gender and religion have already figured in some negative coverage of her nomination.  An Associated Press report described the 48-year-old as having "close ties to a charismatic Christian religious group that holds men are divinely ordained as the 'head' of the family and faith," quoting ex-members as saying it promotes the subjugation of women.

25 Questions Joe Biden Should Be Asked in the Debate.  Many of these questions were suggested by this author last month, but because they remain unanswered, I offer them again in the hope that Tuesday's debate moderator, Chris Wallace, will question the Democratic nominee with the same enthusiasm he has shown for questioning President Trump. [...] [#21] You said in your DNC acceptance speech that America is ready to "do the hard work of rooting out our systemic racism."  What did you do in your 36 years as a U.S. senator and 8 years as vice president to root out systemic racism?  Why didn't it work?

Joe Biden's History Of Race Baiting.  On July 2, 1986, many years before the ever-frail and stumbling Joe Biden lost control of his mental capacity to deliver coherent sentences, Biden spoke at the 77th Annual NAACP Convention. [...] Biden began his speech by proclaiming to a mostly black audience that "When I was 17 years old, I participated in sit-ins to desegregate restaurants and movie houses in Wilmington, Delaware."  The only problem is Biden never participated in sit-ins.  He falsely claimed that he organized a walkout of a restaurant called the Charcoal Pit, except for the fact that the black student who was refused service at the time said that Biden and the other white students who were with him "weren't aware of what happened."  Biden also falsely claimed that he picketed the last segregated movie theater in Wilmington, Delaware in 1965.  Yet, according to the book Historic Theaters of Delaware, the Rialto theater that Biden supposedly picketed, had already begun admitting black patrons in May 1963, meaning that Biden would have been protesting for a right that had already existed for blacks two years earlier.

Joe Biden Says He Could Stay at Home During the Pandemic because Black Woman Stacked Grocery Shelf.  This didn't get much attention but it does display what Joe Biden thinks of black people.  During a recent unscripted presser Joe Biden told the audience the reason he was able to stay sequestered at home during the pandemic was because a black woman stocked the grocery shelf.  [Video clip]

Revolution 2020.  [Scroll down]  The Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v.  Board of Education, which outlawed state-directed segregation, also gave impetus to all manner of efforts to re-form society by legal-administrative force.  The decision itself eliminated any chance that this could be done in a disinterested manner.  It was not based on the plain, unequivocal meaning of the 14th Amendment's "equal protection of the laws."  Back in 1896, Justice John Marshall Harlan had dissented from Plessy, arguing that any state establishment of racial preference whatever, regardless of its character or intention, violates those words.  But Thurgood Marshall based his decision on "science" — that is, on the variable opinions of the credentialed class.  A sociologist by the name of Kenneth Clark claimed he had proven that Negro children could feel and learn normally only in a racially mixed environment.  (The "black is beautiful" movement began countering this immediately.)  Quickly, "scientific" conventional wisdom made "benign" or "remedial discrimination" by race official U.S. government policy.  The Brown decision's reliance on "science" also confused legally established segregation with the segregation that results from personal choices.  This confusion was the basis for Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination in "public accommodations" on the basis of race.  Thenceforth, Civil rights law was no longer about removing legal barriers to personal choices.  It had begun forcing personal choices.  The Supreme Court's approval of the law as a mere regulation of interstate commerce was thin pretense.  The Act turned out to be the little law that ate the Constitution and poisoned American society.  It was passed primarily by Republican votes.  Democrats, seeing the empowerment of a historic Republican constituency in the South as potential disaster, scrambled to avert it by out-pandering Republicans, while describing any reticence on their part as racial animosity and ascribing whatever ailed Negroes to the Republicans' racism.  Quickly, the dynamics of politics turned "civil rights" into a ruinous socioeconomic scam.

The Democrats' War on Blacks.  When hearing talk of Democrats' war on blacks, some may think of the 92 percent of black homicide victims murdered by other blacks mainly in Democrat-run cities.  Others may ponder the 300,000 black babies killed yearly in the womb with the approval, sometimes tacit, sometimes more overt, of many white liberals. [...] Of course, as we'll often hear regarding social ills, "It all starts at home."  It's well known, too, that fatherlessness/family dissolution plagues the black community today, with 72 percent of black children born out of wedlock.  Now the Democrat Left aims to worsen this problem, too, with Black Lives Matter openly stating that one of its goals is to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement." In this structure's place, BLM wants blacks to care for each other, as it writes, "collectively."

'The View' Co-Host Sunny Hostin Calls Black Conservatives 'Props'.  "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin referred to black conservatives as "people props" that Republicans trot out to garner votes from black Americans.  During a discussion about a poll out of Florida showing Biden losing ground among Hispanic voters in that state, Hostin said that she wasn't surprised by the results, and also not surprised that black Americans are not voting for Trump, despite his promises. [...] Sunny Hostin is far from the first Democrat operative to dehumanize black conservatives so nonchalantly.  Shortly after the RNC, Politico also referred to convention speaker Alice Johnson as someone who was "propped up" by the Trump campaign to tout criminal justice reform.

Biden's Lethal Latino Problem.  Joe Biden has the weakest Latino support of any recent Democratic presidential nominee.  Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama each received more than 70 percent of their votes, and 66 percent cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton in 2016.  Former Vice President Biden, however, appears to be on track to capture as little as 60 percent of the Latino vote.  Considering that Latinos constitute more than 10 percent of eligible voters in a dozen states, including crucial battlegrounds such as Florida (20 percent) and Arizona (23 percent), it's difficult to see how Biden can win a majority in the Electoral College unless he quickly improves his standing among these voters.

Why do You Support Joe Biden?  There are a lot of unanswered questions for Biden supporters.  Part of the frustration with the left and those that support it is that they never offer a convincing rationale for their actions.  Why are you voting for him? [...] What response can you offer that explains many blacks' full-fledged support for conservative policies in general and Donald Trump specifically?  Do you think they're stupid?  The magnificent Larry Elder documentary Uncle Tom, (black) voices of reason with large social media presences like Brandon Tatum, Colion Noir, and Candance Owens, and the vast number of successful and patriotic black Republican politicians like Tim Scott, Daniel Cameron, and Kim Klacik all speak openly about their support of the Trump presidency.  Polling also suggests a record turnout of blacks could swing Republican.

50+ Questions No Reporter Dares Ask Joe Biden And His Campaign.  On Racism:  Please explain to me how it is non-racist to tell black people they're not black if they don't vote Democrat.  Is the United States a fundamentally racist nation?  Is it institutionally racist?  Do you regret saying that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan intended to put black people "back in chains" in 2012?

Are African Americans Truly Warming Up To Trump?  I get the sense that rightward movement is occurring in the African American community.  This is more than anecdotal.  It's not random.  It is for good reason. [...] You've probably read President Lyndon Johnson's overtly racist remarks concerning his support for the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act — remarks that are in such poor taste I won't repeat them here.  Suffice it to say that Johnson allegedly bragged his support would secure African American allegiance to Democrats for decades to come.  Even those who unconvincingly dispute Johnson's despicable statements don't deny that he habitually used racist language.  Johnson must have known what he was doing, though I doubt that the Democrats' monopoly on the black vote is based solely on the misperception that Democrats have been the sacred guardians of blacks' civil liberties.  Democrats have also shrewdly cultivated the fiction that only they care about the economic plight of minorities.  More recently, they've gone further and portrayed Republicans as not just indifferent but affirmatively racist.  This slander is a special kind of evil, violating on a grand scale the Mosaic Commandment against bearing false witness — and causing immeasurable damage to race relations.

The True Cost of Riots.  A striking case against riots is clearly expressed in the findings of Professor Mary C. King whose research demonstrates "little relationship between regional progress for African Americans and relatively proximate race riots."  Riotous behavior often results in businesses fleeing minority communities, thus depriving residents of employment and income.  Racism is an extremely sensitive matter; however, sensitivity must be tempered by logic.  African Americans have experienced substantial progress over the past century.  Eroding these gains is a possibility if rational adults refrain from correcting misguided activists.  Such was the impact of the race riots of the 1960s.  Examining the effects of civil disorder on small businesses in inner cities, sociologists Howard Aldrich and Albert Reiss found that riots not only inflicted serious property damages but in the long term they made it prohibitive to operate in inner cities, hence driving up insurance costs.  As a result, businesses migrated to nurturing environments.  Low-income residents are the major beneficiaries of entrepreneurship in the inner city, so when emotions trump logic and businesses exit these communities, the losers are poor black people.

Former Lawyer For Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris Is Working To Push Kanye Off The Ballot.  As rapper Kanye West's presidential campaign races to get him on the ballot in as many states as possible before their respective drop-dead dates, longtime Democratic lawyer Marc Elias is aiding in the fight to keep West off the ballot.  Elias, chair of Perkins Coie's Political Law Group, previously worked as a lawyer for numerous Democratic campaigns, including Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and John Kerry.  Now Elias is listed as counsel on a suit filed Tuesday [9/2/2020] in a Richmond, Virginia, circuit court.

 It's almost as if a "system of White people" is keeping Black Americans off the "ladder of success."

Trump and the Black Vote.  Being a businessman, he had to know it was a hard sale.  You had an entrenched demographic staunchly opposed to him based merely on his party affiliation and his appearance.  Perhaps Trump reasoned that his good relationships with many prominent African American figures in the 1990s, people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and others, would give him some credibility.  Yet even Trump had to know voting blocs in the United States don't usually shift a great deal, particularly ones along racial lines.  But a curious thing happened.  Trump went to rallies and talked to African Americans directly, pointing out that they had remained loyal to a Democrat party for 60 years that had promised them an end to poverty, yet their neighborhoods were plagued with high crime, poor job prospects, and single motherhood rates over 70%.  They had promised to help the blighted inner cities, but they were more crime-ridden than ever before.  Chicago became Chi-raq under the Democrat watch.  Trump famously asked, what did they have to lose?

MSNBC's Cross:  RNC's Black Speakers 'Looked Like a Modern-Day Minstrel Show to Me'.  During Sunday's broadcast of MSNBC's "AM Joy," host Tiffany Cross criticized the Republican National Convention for its diverse presentation of speakers throughout the week.  She dismissed the display as being reflective of the Republican Party and President Donald Trump.  Instead, Cross urged viewers not to be "fooled" by Republicans and said the "slew of black speakers" looked like a "modern-day minstrel show."

The Editor says...
 If there had been no blacks in attendance at all, these same people would have denounced the Republican convention as racist.  But apparently there were too many black speakers, so the Republican convention was racist.

Vernon Jones, Georgia Democrat who backed Trump, escorted through angry crowd outside White House.  An angry crowd surrounded and yelled at Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones Thursday night [8/27/2020] as the Democrat was leaving President Trump's Republican National Convention (RNC) event at the White House, as happened with several other people in the area, including Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.  Jones' vocal support for Trump has vaulted him into the national spotlight, landing him a speaker spot at the RNC on Monday night [8/24/2020].  There, Jones had accused fellow Democrats of not wanting "Black people to leave their mental plantation" and of "pandering" to the Black community. [...] One video showed protesters specifically calling Jones a "disgrace" and the ugly racial slur "house n-----." [...] "What it showed to me is that Black lives don't matter because I am a Black person, I am a black life, so the hypocrisy that Black Lives Matter showed me right there, and verified and validated what I'd already been saying, is that Black lives don't matter," to the people claiming the Black Lives Matter mantle," Jones told Fox News.

Why DO Blacks vote in droves for Democrats in every election?  [Scroll down]  Nevertheless, the Trump campaign brought some compelling Black politicians and supporters to the Republican National Convention on Monday, all of whom delivered powerful speeches — none more so than congressional candidate Kim Klacik.  "I'm the first Black female Republican candidate running for a Maryland Congressional seat, ever," Ms. Klacik said.  "The Democrats have controlled my city, Charm City, for over 50 years and they have run this beautiful place into the ground.  Abandoned buildings, liquor stores on every corner, drug addicts and guns on the street — that is now the norm in many neighborhoods."  "You'd think Maryland taxpayers would be getting a whole lot since our taxes are out of control; instead, we are paying for decades of incompetence and corruption.  Sadly, this same cycle of decay exists in many of America's Democrat-run cities.  And yet, the Democrats still assume that Black people will vote for them, no matter how much they let us down and take us for granted.["]  "Nope!  We're sick of it and not going to take it any more," Ms. Klacik said.

Stop Infantilizing African Americans.  All too often, the message conveyed by media, academia, and government is that African Americans are incapable of expressing agency.  Policy wonks never discuss a Jewish, Asian, or white agenda, because these groups are deemed sufficiently competent to solve their own problems.  Few recognize the covert racism of attempts to "assist" African Africans.  Economic freedom, for example, does not feature prominently in the liberal quest to ameliorate the conditions of American blacks, because it does not fit the agenda.  We are told that there is something inherently fragile about African Americans, making them perpetual victims.  Many have espoused the subtle racism of the Black Lives Movement, without recognizing an effort to infantilize African Americans.  African Americans possess the foresight and talent to uplift themselves from the trenches without the benevolence of the state.

Racist White Guy At Mother Jones Calls Tim Scott And Herschel Walker Uncle Toms.  Some white guy named Tommy Craggs who is the enterprise editor (whatever that is) at Mother Jones has a message for black conservatives like Sen. Tim Scott, former NFL great Herschel Walker, and congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik.  Tommy wants them to know that they are being used by racist Republicans who are just dying to say the N-word.  In a piece subtitled, "Your nightly guide to racism at the Republican National Convention," Craggs calls the black speakers at last night's convention the GOP's "black friends." See, Tommy knows a lot about racism, he's probably read at least one book about it and he knows better than a black sitting US Senator from the Deep South about what it is.

Kamala Harris Won't Motivate Minority Voters.  The Biden campaign is desperate to increase enthusiasm among the minority voters whose support for his candidacy remains so tepid that it threatens his already shrinking chances of winning in November.  The Biden campaign clearly believes that putting a woman of color on the Democratic presidential ticket will convince this portion of the electorate to ignore his well-documented opposition to desegregation and long history of hobnobbing with white supremacists.  The Harris nomination confirms that Biden believes minority voters are idiots.

GOP Candidate's Ad Trounces Michelle Obama DNC Speech In Digital Metrics.  As noted by The Daily Wire on Monday [8/17/2020], Republican strategist and congressional GOP candidate Kimberly Klacik released a hard-hitting ad slamming Democrats for their apparent fake concern for black lives, highlighting the devastation in Democrat-run cities, particularly Baltimore.  The ad went viral online, racking up millions of views within hours and earning astounding social media engagement, such as shares, likes, and comments.  The ad was so hot, in fact, it seemed to have eclipsed former First Lady Michelle Obama's Democratic National Convention speech given on the same day, at least digitally, said The Post Millenial's Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Ballingall.

Socialists as White Saviors.  [Scroll down]  Now, if you have been paying attention, you will have noticed that in recent years the political left has been waging a crusade against "white saviors" in their midst, white saviors being those whites who believe it their natural-born duty to save nonwhites from all that hurts and hampers them in modern society.  This anti-savior campaign represents a palpable irony, however.  After all, isn't this white savior complex exactly what motivates virtually every white leftist to become a leftist in the first place?  Whites who adopt socialist positions generally perceive themselves as being latter-day Robin Hoods in red tights and black masks, punishing cruel, privileged light-skinned plutocrats and aristocrats on behalf of downtrodden dark-skinned social victims unfairly kept down by systemic racism and other figments of the far left's imagination.  Granted, this white messiah complex may not be the principal motivation behind why some whites have chosen to cling bitterly to the utterly bankrupt ideology that is socialism, but [indeed], it sure seems like a major motivation in virtually all cases.

Kamala Harris has the right skin color for Joe Biden ... and nothing else.  Joe Biden selected a running mate based on the color of her skin.  He rejected other candidates based on the color of their skin.  He did this openly and without apology.  Think about that for a moment.  Let that sink in.  In the year 2020, more than six decades after America desegregated public schools, a nominee for president from a major political party brazenly displayed outright racism in picking a running mate.  It is a mockery of everything Martin Luther King fought for.  A perversion of the entire civil rights movement. [...] But the former vice president is from a different era.  Apparently, evaluating people by their skin color is perfectly acceptable to him.  It is even celebrated.  Mr. Biden was lauded and applauded by Democrats, which perhaps should not be a surprise given the party's long, sordid history of outward racism.

How to shock your woke kin out of Marxism.  In reading historian Paul Kengor's stunning new book on the demonic roots of the socialist movement — The Devil and Karl Marx — I came across one small section of the book that has the potential to deprogram the young Marxists in your life.  No, it is not Karl Marx's early and openly expressed willingness to walk on the wild side.  "My soul is chosen for hell," Marx wrote as an aspiring young poet, one of his many publicly declared yearnings to embrace the satanic over-soul.  (Quick digression:  Had Marx been a better poet and Hitler a better painter, just think how different the world would be today.)  Nor is it Marx's cruel exploitation of the women in his life.  No, what will trouble the clueless Marxists you might know — and if they are not clueless, they are evil — is Marx's extravagant racism and anti-Semitism.  The anti-Semitism I knew about.  The racism I did not.

Joe Biden Alienated Black Voters by Choosing Kamala Harris.  When presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden chose Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate, he may have known he was alienating conservatives and moderates, but he likely didn't anticipate alienating black voters.  According to a groundbreaking poll from Rasmussen Reports, Biden's VP pick has given black voters second thoughts about supporting the Democratic ticket in November.

Are Today's Leftists Truly Marxists?  Marx is a hero to many labor union leaders and civil rights organizations, including leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and some Democratic Party leaders.  It is easy to be a Marxist if you know little of his life.  Marx's predictions about capitalism and the "withering away of the state" turned out to be grossly wrong.  What most people do not know is that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite.  When the U.S. annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote:  "Without violence nothing is ever accomplished in history."  Then he asked, "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?"  Friedrich Engels added:  "In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it.  It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the United States."  Many of Marx's racist ideas were reported in "Karl Marx, Racist," a book written by Nathaniel Weyl, a former member of the U.S. Communist Party.

Wow: Seattle 'Respects' Black Voices by Slashing Black Police Chief's Salary in Retaliation for 'Defund' Criticism.  Like many police chiefs in Democrat-run cities, Seattle police chief Carmen Best has a thankless job.  She's not appreciated by the city council and has a strained relationship with feckless Mayor Jenny Durkan at best.  From what I've read of the police chief, she walks a tightrope between trying to work well with the local officials who routinely disrespect her profession and the police officers whose respect she has earned from over nearly three decades of service to the city of Seattle.  Unlike city "leaders" like Durkan and Democratic council members, Best kept it real and never gaslit anyone about the dire, dangerous situation the CHAZ/CHOP encampment presented, nor did she blame her fellow officers for Mayor Durkan's leadership failures, which led to the East precinct being taken over by Black Lives Matter and Antifa radicals and the 525% crime spike that followed.

How The Political Behavior Of Black And Jewish Americans Became Their Cultural Identity.  In May, presidential candidate Joe Biden was forced to apologize after saying in an interview to African Americans who might think of voting for Trump:  "You ain't black."  Biden was criticized for presuming to tell black voters how they are allowed to think, as well as clumsily pandering.  Yet many share the sentiment Biden expressed.  No American ethnic group votes so overwhelmingly partisan as African Americans, with 80 percent or more of black voters identifying with the Democratic Party since the 1960s. [...] Indeed, Democratic Party loyalty among blacks is so strong that it overcomes other factors that usually tilt identification toward the GOP, such as higher economic status, religious faith, and political ideology itself.  For instance, around a third of black Americans today identify as politically conservative, and surveys show increasing numbers of blacks who oppose, for example, racial preferences and government wealth redistribution programs.

Biden slammed for vetting 'only one' Hispanic VP prospect in pro-Trump super PAC ad.  A pro-Trump super PAC will launch a new television advertisement claiming that President Trump's presumptive Democratic opponent Joe Biden has failed to vet a representative number of Hispanic candidates to be his running mate.  "We came from all over," says a Spanish-speaking narrator in a new televised commercial from the Committee to Defend the President, a controversial political fundraising group.  "We built skyscrapers and successful businesses.  We risked everything, even our lives, to make America home.  Latino Americans love our country.  But that's not good enough for Joe Biden.  He's interviewed thirteen candidates for vice president, but only one is Hispanic."

Biden: Latinos Can Think for Themselves, Unlike Blacks.  As the race for the White House kicks into a higher gear, what the candidates say publicly is of increasing importance.  Perhaps this is why a comment from former Vice President Joe Biden has so many politicos scratching their heads.  While appearing virtually before the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Biden asserted that Latinos have diverse attitudes while most blacks do not.  The subject came up with Lulu Garcia-Navarro of National Public Radio.  She queried the Democratic candidate as to whether he has designs on re-engaging Cuba.  To that Mr. Biden responded:  "Yes, yes.  And by the way, what you all know, but most people don't know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things."  Then he doubled down with, "You go to Florida, you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you're in Arizona, so it's a very diverse community."

Biden walks back African American 'diversity' remarks, says he did not mean to suggest community is a 'monolith'.  Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attempted late Thursday to walk back remarks he made favorably comparing the diversity of the Latino community to that of the Black community.  "Earlier today, I made some comments about diversity in the African American and Latino communities that I want to clarify," Biden wrote on Twitter.  "In no way did I mean to suggest the African American community is a monolith — not by identity, not on issues, not at all.  "Throughout my career," he continued, "I've witnessed the diversity of thought, background, and sentiment within the African American community.  It's this diversity that makes our workplaces, communities, and country a better place. [...]"

Maybe It's Time to Admit Joe Biden Doesn't Think Very Highly of Black People.  [Scroll down]  I don't begrudge the former VP the occasional awkward expression.  But getting back to patterns — it seems to me that no matter what the state of his mental faculties is, we are seeing an undeniable pattern here.  In fact, sometimes the degradation of those mental faculties comes with a decreased ability to censor oneself.  The part of our brain that helps us adhere to social norms and appropriate public behavior no longer works, and what is in the heart comes gushing out the mouth.  It has become painfully obvious that in Joe Biden's heart, he harbors a deep distaste for Black people.  He no longer possesses the ability to self-censor and the problem is exacerbated by the fact that he is now required to be on the spot — alone — more and more each day.  What ideas are left for him to grasp are those that have been so innate to him that they are now muscle memory, and unfortunately those ideas are clearly related to a disdain for Black America.

Time for Trump to Smoke Joe out of His Basement.  The real news is not that Biden is failing.  It's the Democrats' fraud in pretending otherwise.  They know he is not mentally up to the job and they're trying to ride it out, using the coronavirus as a cover to keep him hidden in the basement and exercising damage control each time he is flushed out.  It's undeniable, as shown by his angrily asking a black interviewer if he is a junkie when the interviewer questioned whether he'd ever taken a cognitive test.  Then there was his assertion that Latinos are more diverse in their attitudes than blacks.  That alone would have ended any Republican candidate.  To quote Joe back to himself, "Come on, man!"  These regrettable remarks are part of Biden's long history of racially tinged comments, such as his quip that you can't go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have an Indian accent or that any African Americans who don't support him aren't black.  Anyone paying attention has to know something is seriously wrong.

Joe Biden: 'Unlike the African American Community ... the Latino Community Is an Incredibly Diverse Community'.  Former Vice President Joe Biden remarked in an interview released Thursday that "unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community."  Biden was addressing the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) Joint Virtual Convention.  Portions of the interview were aired Wednesday, and the full video was streamed Thursday [8/6/2020].

Condoleezza Rice: 'A Problem Of The Left' Is Telling Black People How To Think.  Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joined the chorus of black Republicans criticizing the Left for telling black people how they should think.  Speaking with Peter Baker of The New York Times at the Aspen Security Forum, Rice said she hopes for a day when people will not harbor preconceived notions based on people's race.

The Worst Brand Name in American History.  In June, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) ordered removed from the Capitol the portraits of four former speakers:  Robert Hunter of Virginia, James Orr of South Carolina and Howell Cobb and Charles Crisp of Georgia.  Their offense?  Having been traitorous Confederate racists.  "There is no room in the hallowed halls of Congress or in any place of honor for men who embody the violent bigotry and grotesque racism of the Confederacy," Pelosi wrote in a letter explaining her decision.  Purging pro-slavery lawmakers might be a good start, but Pelosi's redecorating effort hardly goes far enough, according to Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), who addressed the matter from the House floor.  In citing her four predecessors' allegiance to the evil Confederacy, Pelosi failed to mention that all were members of another organization every bit as vile and detestable as the confederation of slave states.  So much so, it's hard to think of one without the other.  That organization is the Democratic Party, the party of slavery, secession, and the Civil War.  In fact, if it hadn't been for the Democrats' embrace of slavery as a state's right and cause worth fighting for, there would never have been a Civil War and its legacy of "grotesque racism," as Pelosi put it.  The Democratic Party needs to stop looking around for scapegoats, few of whom anyone's ever heard of, and admit the truth behind the most ignominious brand name in the country's history.

The New George Wallace: Barack Obama.  [Scroll down]  John Lewis became a hero because he was protesting against Jim Crow laws — laws that were created by the Democratic Party.  It was no accident that the bridge on which John Lewis was marching when attacked was named the Edmund Pettus Bridge.  Not mentioned at the Lewis funeral was that Edmund Pettus — a Confederate officer and Grand Dragon of the Alabama Klan — was elected to the United States Senate ... as a Democrat.  Which is to say, in his day, like fellow Alabama Democrat George Wallace in the 1960s, Edmund Pettus played the race card to win an election.

Beam Me Up, Please.  Every few years it seems that the Democrats gin up riots in response to the death of a black criminal at the hands of the police.  And each time the media play along.  I don't need to remind you of the Holder DoJ stirring up the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown cases, which fell apart before juries when the facts were finally presented in open court.  Not before the false tales precipitated substantial destruction to lives and property — largely of those minorities living in the areas of these incidents.  This time, the race baiting has gone beyond targeting the individual citizens and cops involved to argue that there is systemic racism in law enforcement.  And the claim has been the rallying cry of the Black Lives Matter gangs.

Louie Gohmert raises valid point in call to rename Democratic Party.  Rep. Louie Gohmert, Republican from Texas, introduced a resolution that would ban the Democratic Party, among other organizations, based on historical truths about the left's embrace of racism and blatant support of slavery.  It's a resolution that yes, is eye-widening — but at least it strikes the right spirit.  At least it raises a valid point. [...] Gohmert, in a statement, said of his resolution:  "A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred.  Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party's loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn't so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination and the Ku Klux Klan."  His resolution comes just a day after the Democrat-led House voted to remove statues of people tied to the Confederacy and slavery from Capitol grounds.  Gohmert isn't the resolution's only supporter.  Rep. Andy Biggs from Arizona co-sponsored.  So did Reps.  Jody Hice from Georgia, Randy Weber from Texas and Andy Harris from Maryland.

Civil rights activist Bob Woodson:  Low-income Blacks being 'bamboozled and hustled and scammed' by Democrats.  Civil rights activist Bob Woodson, founder of the Woodson Center, ripped Democratic mayors such as Chicago's Lori Lightfoot for blaming Republicans and the status of gun control legislation, among other things, for continued violent unrest in their jurisdictions.  Woodson reacted on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" to both host Tucker Carlson's commentary on Chicago and the state of the African-American community at large.  "Lori Lightfoot will tell you — and it's not just Lori Lightfoot, by a mile — but she cares so deeply about the poorest people in her city.  Should we believe that?" Carlson asked Woodson.  "Absolutely not," he replied.  "I believe that the salvation of this country ... will be the sleeping giant:  When low-income Blacks wake up and realize that they are being bamboozled and hustled and scammed by people like Lori Lightfoot and others — they are going to realize that they must address the enemy within."

Biden slammed for borderline racist, double edged gaffe while trying to slam Trump on China.  Joe Biden is at it again. [...] On a Livestream from his Delaware basement, the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee angrily declared:  "Look what [Trump] is doing now.  He's blaming everything on China.  He's blaming everything on the Chinese... and people don't make a distinction... from a South Korean and someone from Beijing.  They make no distinction.  It's Asian... and he's just using it as a wedge."  Two of the participants on the call appear to perhaps agree with him, at least partially.  It is up to the viewer to decide whether Biden's comment could be interpreted as borderline racist or not.

Democrats Project their own Character Flaws onto Republicans.  For example, Democrats love to frequently accuse Republicans of being racists and white supremacists.  But it was Democrat and former Ku Klux Klan Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd who personally filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for more than fourteen hours.  While it is true that a slim majority of Democrats supported that landmark piece of legislation, the percentage was only about 60/40 or so.  The fact is the bill only passed because of overwhelming Republican support (80/20).  The Democratic Party was the original home of the KKK.  It was the Democrat President Woodrow Wilson who made the racist film Birth of a Nation the first movie ever screened in the White House.  It is a well-known fact the Republican Party was literally formed by abolitionists who were vehemently opposed to slavery.  Many of the statues recently torn down by violent protestors, especially those of Confederate generals, represent Democrats who supported slavery.  Yet even contemporary Democrats like Ralph "Blackface" Northam have their own issues with racism.  Never forget that it allegedly was LBJ himself who said that he'd have "blacks" (though he used the "N" word) voting for Democrats for the next 200 years after leading the effort to get the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed.  Bull Conner was a Democrat.  Selma was an atrocity committed by Democrats.

Joe Biden Says It's Wrong to Hold China Accountable Because Americans Can't Distinguish Between "a South Korean and Someone From Beijing".  If Trump said this you'd never hear the end of it.

From Asheville to Trashville.  Tucked away in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville, NC would be a little slice of paradise if it weren't infested with Marxist bluehairs transplanted from the Northeast who see it as their solemn moral obligation to carpetbag the local blacks into endless frothing fury about the supposed indignities of being black in America, as if it's not measurably better than being black anywhere else on the planet.  Asheville's mayor, Esther Manheimer, wasn't even born in America.  Despite the fact that the town is nearly 80% white, there is only one white male on its seven-member City Council.  There are two blacks, and as is the wont of black politicians, their entire political world consists of endlessly announcing their blackness to startled passersby.

Progressive Policies Wreck Everything.  I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline:  "Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind." The media are so clueless.  Instead of "but," the headline should have said, "therefore," or "so, obviously."  Of course, progressive policies failed!  They almost always do.

Republicans Led the Way on Civil Rights.  The Civil Rights Acts were important Republican accomplishments that we must not let the country forget.  It started with the Civil Rights Act of 1957.  Eisenhower endorsed civil rights legislation in his 1956 State of the Union Address.  Running on a civil rights platform, the GOP incumbent then easily defeated Democrat candidate Adlai Stevenson and increased his vote totals in the South in 1956 over the 1952 election.  In 1957, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent Congress a proposal for civil rights legislation, which he proposed in his 1957 State of the Union address, designed the bill, engineered it through Congress, and signed the first civil rights bill into law since Reconstruction. [...] Back when Republicans actually had backbones, the Republican National Committee issued a press release on August 6, 1957, attacking then U.S. Senator Lyndon Baines Johnson (D-TX) for opposing the Republican civil rights legislation.  The RNC exposed how Democrats including LBJ as late as 1957 were fighting against the rights of African-Americans.

Confederate Monuments:  The Problem With Politically Correct History.  [Scroll down]  Where does this viewing of history through the prism of modern-day feelings end?  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once gave advice to a gay young man that today would be heresy.  King suggested he battle his feelings, strongly implying that the young man needed therapy and sexual reorientation.  Today, that kind of advice gets one branded a Neanderthal.  President John F. Kennedy, frustrated with a high-profile Democrat who hadn't supported his election, threatened to banish him by giving him an obscure ambassadorship to one of the, as Kennedy put it, "boogie republics" in Africa.  Tell that to Black Lives Matter.  History is complicated.  And history requires perspective and understanding, something sadly lacking in those who seek to erase history by imposing today's standards of right and wrong.

Woke Vs.  Racist:  What's the Difference?  There's a great comedy video that went viral this week pointing out the similarities between the woke set and racists.  Like all good comedy, it's funny because it's true.  If you watch any of these Black Lives Matter "protests" you notice one big thing: they're mostly young white people.  Yes, the leaders of the organization "Black Lives Matter" are black, they're also rich, racist Marxists busy counting piles of money, but the people attacking police officers are mostly white.  Listening to the rioters, pundits, politicians, and reporters you notice something odd: they all seem to believe black people are incapable of succeeding without their help.  This used to be called the "white savior complex," now it's simply called "progressive."

ABC News exec booted over alleged racially insensitive comments.  An ABC News exec who was accused of making racially insensitive remarks — while overseeing diversity programs for the network — and has gotten the boot.  Barbara Fedida, a senior vice president, had been on leave since last month, when it was alleged that during contract negotiations with black "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts, Fedida told colleagues it wasn't like ABC was asking her to "pick cotton."  The Huffington Post report also alleged that Fedida called black "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin "low-rent," while suggesting black former ABC correspondent Kendis Gibson was worth less than toilet paper.  The network said in an internal memo Monday [7/20/2020] that an independent investigation showed Fedida had made "unacceptable racially insensitive comments" on the job.

Senate Transcripts:  Joe Biden Quoted N-Word 13 Times in 1985 Hearings.  The presumptive 2020 Democrat presidential nominee, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, used the N-word 13 times in a 1985 hearing series, U.S. Senate transcripts reveal.  Video of one such instance where Biden used the N-word twice when he was quoting someone else already surfaced late last month.  The Senate hearing series during which Biden repeatedly used the offensive term was when he was questioning William Reynolds, then-President Ronald Reagan's assistant attorney general for civil rights, when Reynolds was under consideration for a promotion to be associate attorney general.  In particular, Biden was asking Reynolds about his role in providing clearance for a redistricting plan in Louisiana that courts later struck down.

Rep. John Lewis Raised Millions While His District Starved.  A lot of people have died in Georgia's 5th congressional district over the summer.  Murders are up 240% in Atlanta in July.  The victims include an 80-year-old retired mechanic and an 8-year-old girl.  But only one man's death, that of Rep. John Lewis, who has been in Congress since 1986, has the media's attention.  Unlike his fellow 80-year-old, Lewis never retired and had spent his entire life in politics.  He went from working for the Voter Education Project, funded by the New World Foundation, to running for public office.  In 1981, he won a spot on the Atlanta City Council, a post he continued drawing a pension from even as he was in Congress, and then it was on to the House of Representatives.  Lewis has always claimed that his goal was to represent the "beloved community".  As President Trump noted, the beloved community had seen better days, "Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested)."

Former Employees Say Ellen's "Be Kind" Talk Show Mantra Masks A Toxic Work Culture.  Ellen DeGeneres has built her worldwide, multimillion-dollar brand on the motto "be kind," with lavish giveaways and acts of charity.  But behind the scenes, current and former employees on her leading daytime show say they faced racism, fear, and intimidation.  "That 'be kind' bullshit only happens when the cameras are on.  It's all for show," one former employee told BuzzFeed News.  "I know they give money to people and help them out, but it's for show."

Former Ellen DeGeneres staffers bash 'toxic' workplace culture on her talk show.  A black woman working on The Ellen DeGeneres Show said she repeatedly dealt with racist comments and microaggressions in yet another damning story relating to the comedian.  The former employee was among 11 mostly former staffers who detailed horror stories from the "toxic" work environment at the show in a Buzzfeed article Thursday, pulling the curtain back on the cheery comedic host.  The woman, who the outlet didn't identify by name, said she dealt with racism throughout her year-and-a-half tenure on the show.  When she was hired, she said a senior-level producer told her and another black employee, "Oh wow, you both have box braids; I hope we don't get you confused."

Will Black Voters Abandon Democrats in 2024?  Joe Biden owes his nomination to black Democrats, who never joined the revolution led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, closed ranks around the former vice president, and overpowered the rest of the Democratic coalition to rescue his candidacy.  But Biden is struggling with black men and younger black voters and Democrats know the votes of black Americans will become more difficult with each future election.  Many black Americans feel taken for granted by the party and have become increasingly disillusioned with politics and politicians in general.  In particular, younger non-white voters consider Biden an out of step relic from an era of leadership they believe failed them on policing and criminal justice, climate, the influence of corporate money in politics, and tolerance of discrimination of all stripes.  They are more open to President Trump's message than party officials could have imagined following his upset election in 2016.

Leo Terrell Will Vote Republican For The First Time In November.  Fox News host Sean Hannity and conservative radio host Larry Elder both jokingly tried to take credit for the fact that civil rights attorney Leo Terrell is voting for President Donald Trump in November. [...] "A good question," Terrell said.  "Here's my answer as a lawyer.  This will be the first time in my life.  This will be the first time in my life, Sean Hannity viewers, that I will be voting Republican.  Right on your TV program, first time in my life."  "For Donald Trump?" Hannity asked.  "For Donald Trump," Terrell declared, to which Hannity inferred that he had "Hannitized" the former Democrat.

Civil Rights attorney Leo Terrell is being ostracized for supporting Trump.  One of the most popular articles ever published at American Thinker concerned civil rights attorney Leo Terrell.  Bill Schanefelt wrote about what is a really "big deal": namely, the fact that black civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, a longtime Democrat supporter, announced during Mark Levin's Life, Liberty & Levin that he is throwing his support behind Donald Trump.  The reason for Terrell's change of heart is he has realized that the Democrat party is not a friend to black Americans.  Instead, it uses them.  His epiphany came when Joe Biden told blacks that if they didn't vote for him, they were race-betrayers.  Terrell has also looked at the way the Democrat party has enabled the riots that have served no purpose other than to destroy black communities and take black lives.

The Fathers of Communism Were Racist.  There are plenty of good reasons to abandon the teachings of Karl Marx.  Chief among them is how Marx's noxious communist ideology has led to suffering and death on a mass scale and has been the ideology at the heart of some of the most brutal and inhumane dictatorships of the 20th and 21st centuries.  Unfortunately, some still try to peddle communism as right in principle if troubled in implementation. [...] Though Marx and Engels are perhaps most known for their ideas about class conflict and revolution, they both dabbled in theories — increasingly popular at the time — about race and racial hierarchies.  Not only that, but their private correspondence demonstrated an even larger degree of hostility to black-skinned people, as their writings were littered with racial slurs.

Never Forget:  Republicans Ended Democrat-Backed Slavery And Segregation.  Black Lives Matter and Antifa are not organizations of "protestors" seeking justice for Black people.  They are defacing and seeking to overturn monuments to the very historical leaders who fought and ended slavery, former U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant.  The Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery.  By the 1850s, Lincoln was a rising leader of the National Abolitionist movement, and the new Republican Party. [...] Despite their Civil War defeat, southern Democrats maintained their power over Blacks for another 100 years, with Jim Crow segregation imposed across the south.  Democrats denied blacks the right to vote and denied black children equal education.  Southern Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan, a Democrat militia.  That militia burned crosses on Black homes and lynched innocent Blacks.  Klan leaders were elected to Congress, often rising to senior positions, such as long time Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd.  These Democrat congressional leaders defended segregation before Congress, even as the Civil Rights Movement rose in the 1950s to challenge Democrat apartheid across the south.  The Democrat south was part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal coalition, and even part of President Kennedy's coalition, as Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson served as his Vice President.  It was not until the 1950's that Republican President Dwight Eisenhower forced integration of schools in the south over the opposition of Democrat Governor George Wallace and other Democrats.  This history was why Martin Luther King first rose in the 1950s as a Republican, as Blacks were part of the Republican Party base until the 1960s.

West Virginia Democrats Silent About Memorials To KKK-Supporting Colleague.  While monuments and building names said to be stained by racism are being erased across the country, one former Ku Klux Klan organizer remains virtually untouchable.  The late Sen. Robert C. Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat and Senate majority leader who organized a Klan chapter in 1941 and filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is celebrated in the state, his name gracing over three dozen public works projects, including two federal courthouses, a dam on the Ohio border, libraries, community centers, roads, bridges, schools, and several university buildings throughout the state.  Byrd's still-hallowed legacy came into question this month when tiny Bethany College, in the state's narrow Northern Panhandle between Ohio and Pennsylvania, removed Byrd's name from its health center.

Time for American Companies to Remember Who Their Friends Are.  [Scroll down]  For forty years, Pelosi Democrats and Bush Republicans have defended illegal immigration with some form of the despicable rhetorical query:  who will do our menial slave labor if we don't actively subvert federal immigration law by encouraging brown people to risk life and limb to reach the U.S. by crawling through cave-in-prone tunnel coffins, stumbling across swaths of uninhabitable desert, or selling themselves to sex merchants and narco-terrorists in return for the promise of American salvation?  I have always found that to be among the most racist and de-humanizing logic belches that a free mind could entertain, but to this day, the Democratic Party openly encourages illegal immigration at our southern border by boasting that to do otherwise would leave them in the unthinkable position of having to mow their own lawns.

The Curse of the Twenty-Year Crusade.  On January 8, 1964, Lyndon Johnson delivered his first State of the Union address.  He chose to launch a massive crusade that was most likely far from most Americans' minds: he declared war on poverty itself. [...] As he stood before Congress on January 8, 1964, did he really believe that the government could accomplish all these things he was promising?  Fewer taxes, a streamlined government tax, a lower deficit, more libraries, more public schools, more free medicine and food stamps, more subsidized housing — all while trying to prop up South Vietnam's pro-Western government against North Vietnam, halfway around the world?  No intelligent or sane person could have believed those words as he spoke them.  Democrats have lately felt desperate to project their party's racist history onto Republicans.  They like to fudge what happened under Johnson.  They love to say the Republicans "switched places" with the Democrats on race through a "Southern strategy," but the War on Poverty reminds us that's not really what happened.

Let's Talk about Black Privilege.  [Scroll down]  What I see in Black Lives Matter is a group in pursuit of revenge, not equality.  Inequality is the new equality.  No matter how much Goebbelsian public relations Black Lives Matter receives from the DMIC, no reasonable American is mistaking the group for those who attended Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 or the Selma to Montgomery marches two years later.  The conditions where black Americans have it worse — including problems with the police — are in cities run by Democrats for tens of thousands of consecutive days.

Kanye West pulverizes the Democrats.  Kanye West says it was God's choice, not his, to run for president against Joe Biden and President Trump.  At first glance, it looks like the height of ingratitude to President Trump, who was pretty kind to Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian, for their idiosyncratic support of him.  Now that Kanye has spoken to Forbes magazine, it's pretty obvious that Trump has little to do with this whole shadowbox campaign.  Democrats are ones who are getting the kick in the teeth, not Trump.

I Am Black And I Am A Democrat.  But 'I Ain't' Voting For Joe Biden This November.  Since that day in May when I announced I would support Donald Trump for president, my motives have been questioned, my integrity assailed, even my intelligence challenged.  That's okay.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, but I am also a black man, the son of a World War II veteran and a proud American.  In recent weeks, there have been absurd calls to defund and disband police departments across the country by Democrats in response to the unjust murder of George Floyd.  These are extreme calls that will only lead to more pain and suffering in our most vulnerable communities.

Black Lives Matter, Just Not to Democrat Politicians, Part I.  Here in Part I, we will start off with what I'll call the "low hanging fruit:"  Slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, and other blatant leftist efforts to keep Blacks and other minorities in subjugation.  These are low hanging fruit because the record is clear, the efforts were obvious, and the damage was visible and horrific.  It was Democrat-dominated states that embraced and demanded the continuance of the buying and selling of other human beings as chattel.  After what many in my adopted state of Alabama call "The Late Unpleasantness," the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, known as the "Reconstruction Amendments," were put in place to give full constitutional weight to the rights of newly freed Blacks (notably ignoring women in the process).  The passage of the 14th, 15th, and, later on, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was only possible because the vast majority of Republican Legislators were able to help overcome Democrat opposition.

Black Life-Long Democrat Reveals Why He Walked Away from Joe Biden.  Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones (D) on Tuesday penned an opinion piece slamming former Vice President Joe Biden for failing to stand up to protect the black community.  According to Jones, President Donald Trump has done more for the black community than any other Washington politician, all while Biden hides in his basement.  In particular, Jones takes issue with the left's calls to "defund the police," which they say is in response to the murder of George Floyd.

Lawlessness, the Murder of Our Children, and the Soul of America.  BLM, Inc., Joe Biden and the DNC own the death and destruction of this past weekend, in cities like, Atlanta, New York and Cleveland!  Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have surrendered to the Radical Left (Black Lives Matter, Inc., Antifa, etc.).  The Democratic Party(DNC) has had decades to fulfill its promises to black Americans, but all it's delivered is crime-ridden cities bereft of economic opportunity.  It's time to shake things up, show the extent of DNC failure and expose BLM, Inc. for the fraud it is.  For weeks Americans have watched radical leftist anarchists and Antifa thugs engage in extreme violence and murder that will haunt many people for the rest of their lives.  Dozens of innocent civilians and police officers have been killed, hundreds of civilians brutally beaten, and more than 700 police officers were injured nationwide.  Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed as businesses and communities in more than 42 states were devastated by arson, looting, and mayhem that activists quickly followed with a call to defund the police.

The Obama Years Sowed the Seeds for the Current Societal Chaos.  After nearly 40 years of gradual infiltration and eventual domination of the Democrat party, as well as the media, entertainment and education establishments, the radicalized American left in 2008 achieved a major objective.  They found their ideal stealth candidate, Barack Obama.  Not only was he, beneath the façade of glibness and conviviality, a fellow Marxist/socialist, but more importantly, he was able to take advantage of decades of inculcated racial guilt among the populace.  Thus began the final stages of the grand strategy to fundamentally transform the nation, following the installation of the most radical administration in the history of the country.  Revealingly, the victors were unabashedly shameless in their triumph.  In their myopic belief that they and their fellow travelers were permanently ensconced in government, the Obama administration and their sycophants in the media did not hesitate to openly advocate and implement policies not wanted by the electorate.  Whether health care reform, amnesty for illegal aliens, unfettered and unrestrained voting and attendant fraud, gun control or packing the judiciary with likeminded leftists, their primary purpose was not, as they proclaimed, to improve the lives of the citizenry but to make certain the radical left would be permanent occupants in the corridors of power.

Know Your Enemy:  Undeniable Truths About the Left.  [Scroll down]  You may not see them interviewed, but a great many blacks appreciate that President Trump has done more for them than all the presidents of the past 30 years.  This is a powerful truth that black and Hispanic unemployment have been at all-time lows under the Trump Administration.  Democrats know this and it scares them.  Prior to the Wuhan virus pandemic, at least of 20 percent of blacks indicated they would be voting to re-elect President Trump.  If that holds true, that would be a death knell to the Democrat Party.  This is a huge reason for the left fanning the flames of racial unrest under the lie of systemic racism and white privilege.

Diamond and Silk:  White liberals talk systemic racism, yet they 'put the systems in place'.  Prominent African-American vloggers Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known as Diamond and Silk, are upset about white liberals who talk systemic racism, yet "put the systems in place."  The sisters, who serve on President Trump's campaign advisory board, said white liberals controlling predominately black, inner-city areas for the past 60 years are the same liberals who convinced enough black Americans to vote against their own interests.  "These people practice Marxism," said Hardaway (aka "Diamond") during a joint video interview with her sister to discuss nationwide protests sparked by the killing of African-American George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.  "They are into that.  So what they're trying to do is they're trying to turn our country into a communist country and use black people to do it.  You have white liberals, they talk about systematic racism or systemic racism, but they're the ones who put the systems in place ... the liberal agenda and the liberal ideology that have destroyed black people, the black man."

Bring Me the Head of Harry Truman.  Some years back, I made a documentary for the local PBS station, KCPT, titled, "Remember Me, KC."  In it, I explored the history of J.C. Nichols, the man who built much of Kansas City, including the once great Country Club Plaza. [...] Ten years after Nichols started building Mission Hills, Jackson County Judge Harry Truman, up for re-election, paid his ten-dollar entry fee to join the Ku Klux Klan, a Democratic stronghold.  He reportedly withdrew only because his "boss," Tom Pendergast, objected to the Klan's anti-Catholic bias.  As a Democratic president, the media protected Truman in ways they would never protect President Trump.  Only years after Truman left the White House did the Washington Post's Marquis Childs report Truman's take on African Americans:  "I get along pretty well with the burr heads... until sooner or later I say n***er."  Okay, so Truman desegregated the military.  Big deal.  By the standards set uniquely for Nichols, it may be time to "strip" Harry's name from Truman Road, rename Truman State University, and deface the presidential library.  The Andrew Jackson statue in front of the Jackson County Courthouse is already heading for the dust bin.  Can Harry's statue be far behind?

Dem Rep Says If We Are Removing Relics That Remind Us Of Racism, Then We Must Remove The Dem Party!  [Video clip]

Where have all the commies gone, long time passing?  Previously, the enemy was easy to identify.  Especially in the more recent past, communism, prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, was dreaded.  The mere term sent shivers through the bodies of the strongest Americans and every effort was taken to stamp and rout them out. [...] Now communism is cloaked in the mantle of social justice — justice for African-Americans, as if they were still enslaved in Southern plantations.  Ignored are the blacks who have made mega-fortunes in Hollywood, TV, music, sports, and politics.  Not mentioned also are the large and ever-growing black middle and upper classes.  Perhaps they themselves have been too taciturn in shining a spotlight in themselves to disabuse the false narrative.  Poor blacks, and brainwashed ignorant white youths, are pawns being used by the Marxists to bring devastation and chaos in their attempt to destroy America.

If You Really Believe Black Lives Matter, Stop Supporting Black Lives Matter.  The leaders of major urban areas across the country have failed their black constituents for decades by imposing less radical versions of the same policies BLM wishes to institute, which will only perpetuate poverty and misery.  More socialism will weaken personal initiative, thwart entrepreneurship, and stunt opportunity.  Fewer police cannot possibly protect all innocent Americans, who are already being stripped of their Second Amendment rights.  Ideologically driven public education will continue leaving kids confused and underserved.  And expanded statist policies will further erode the family.  The reality is that if the left is trying to make a case for systemic racism, little could better describe it than the policies that have prevailed under Democratic rule in America's inner cities for nearly 60 years, self-evidently contributing to their destruction.  The only beneficiaries of such policies are the purported representatives of such districts, who foster increasing dependence on the state they control, therefore accruing ever-greater power.

CNN: Shootings, Murder Surge in Democrat-Controlled Cities.  Shootings and murder are surging in Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York City, and Philadelphia, all of which are Democrat-controlled cities.  CNN reports murders in Milwaukee are up 95 percent this year.  They note murders in Philadelphia rose 24 percent as shootings rose 57 percent, and Los Angeles witnessed a 250 percent increase in murders during the first week of June alone.  Shootings have surged by 44 percent in NYC, compared to the number of shootings at this same point in time last year, and murder is up 23 percent.

A Will to Overthrow the United States.  Last week, federal legislation recommending police reforms was proposed by Senator Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina.  The House Democrats, refusing even to discuss any of them, blocked the measure.  Later the House Democrats came up with a reform bill of their own, however it seemed aimed more at eradicating police forces than reforming them. [...] The House Democrats appeared only to want to block the Republicans from having a victory and an issue about which to rail instead of a solution.  (The same political thinking also appears to underpin why so many American children are not able to receive a quality public school education.)  The question then arises:  are the politicians who claim to want help distressed communities the very ones keeping the distressed communities distressed — and in a perpetual state of reaching out to those same politicians for dangled promises of help?

Yes, Virginia (and all the other States), There is Systemic Racism in America.  I have also been listening to the personal histories of individual blacks across the country, and I now see the widespread, systemic racism that infects the United States in 2020. [...] Abortion was a key part of the eugenics movement in this country going back to the 1920's, when Margaret Sanger created the precursor to Planned Parenthood.  Abortion was used to purify the white race and eliminate the black race back then, and black women continue to have abortions to at far higher rates than whites and Hispanics to this day.  These deaths have reduced the black population, watered down their representation in society, and eliminated the potential contributions of millions of people to this world.  Meanwhile, in most large cities, regulatory and social welfare policies reduced freedom, opportunity, and prosperity for the people living in them, and a lot of blacks live in them.  Basic city services that help people get and keep jobs, like decent roads, public transportation, and affordable housing, have crumbled under policies that prioritize public employee pensions, rent control laws, and entrenched political power.  But the most devastating casualty in these cities has been quality education.  The failure of cities to provide a high school diploma that had some worth in the marketplace has hurt black prospects for decades.  I hope, as you read through my description of systemic racism in America today, you have noticed a common culprit in all of it.  Everything described above has been the stated public policies of the Democrat party all the way back to the days of slavery.

It's now blacks vs radicals in 'shattered' NYC riven by $1 billion in police cuts.  At a time when crime is soaring in New York, the Democrats running the show there decided that now would be a good time to slash $1 billion from the New York Police Department's $6 billion budget. [...] It doesn't take a genius to know that's exactly what's going to happen.  New Yorkers, after all, are fleeing.  The only people left are the ones who can't get out.

Calling Racism a Public Health Crisis Can Kill Black People.  Baltimore, Cleveland, Denver, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh are among the cities that have officially declared that racism is a public health crisis.  A number of states are also moving in that direction.  Senator Sherrod Brown intends to push a similar resolution in the Senate.  The medicalization of racism has been backed by the American Medical Association, whose heads have called on "health institutions and physician organizations to explicitly denounce police violence" and urged "clinics, hospital and healthcare providers to review and reconsider their policies and relationships with law enforcement".  Considering the already fraught state of emergency rooms in urban areas where the victims and perpetrators of gang violence show up every weekend, that would be catastrophic.  It would lead to fewer doctors, fewer ERs, and worse outcomes for black patients in urban areas.

Tolerant Dem 'protesters' look down on cops, belittle Black cops.  These mostly-white youth of privilege want us to become like them, yet they offer nothing.  They put down the police as "illiterate rubes," when many are college-educated and all are brave, ready to protect fools like them.  The left-wing youth obviously don't think much of the working class.  They are so racist that they call a Black cop a "Black Judas."

Sen. Tim Scott Steps Out.  Did you know that Tim Scott is the only black Republican Senator?  You probably do know that, because this is how everything he does is minimized and scoffed at by the Democratic Party press. [...] In all of American history, there have been ten black Senators — four Republicans and six Democrats.  If you didn't know better, you might think that the Democrats' press arm is trying to suppress Tim Scott's sensible and thoughtful ideas about crime and law enforcement by 1) ignoring him, 2) anonymizing him, or 3) stigmatizing him.

Woodrow Wilson, the Racist Hero of Progressive Internationalists.  [Scroll down]  Even after Woodrow Wilson moved north in the course of his academic career, he retained the racist attitudes he learned in his youth.  When he became president, he made them U.S. government policy.  In 1915, the notorious film The Birth of a Nation became the first motion picture to get a screening in the White House; the film portrayed the Ku Klux Klan as heroes, denigrated blacks in numerous ways, and quoted Wilson as a respected authority.  Wilson was quoted decrying the supposed "policy of congressional leaders" to "put the white South under the heel of the black South."

Two Black Conservative Women Speak Out about the Democratic Party.  Two conservative black American women speak out about their feelings and why the Democrats are not the party for them.  Throughout the country, impoverished black neighborhoods have been controlled by Democratic politicians.  Education school boards; Democrats; mayors:  Democrats; district attorneys:  Democrats; police chiefs:  Democrats; governors:  Democrats; congressional districts:  Democrats; and senators:  Democrats.  Stacy Washington, a conservative black radio host (listen.stacyontheright.com), is dumbfounded that Biden and many Democrats say nothing but are never questioned about solutions.  "At the Breakfast Club he uttered the words 'you ain't black' if they did not vote for him.  He essentially claimed ownership of the black vote just because he is a Democrat.  Today, black Americans want to know why they should vote for him.  He criticizes President Trump but never provides viable alternatives of what he would do.  Democrats feel they own the black vote."

Democrats' Despicable Treatment of Senator Tim Scott.  Over the past two weeks, Republican Senator Tim Scott, a black man from South Carolina, extended the olive branch of bipartisanship to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on police reform.  On June 17, Scott introduced the JUSTICE Act as a way to tackle what he believes are needed reforms in cities across the country.  He quickly gained 50 co-sponsors and opened the door to the "conversation" Democrats regularly claim America needs to have about race, communities and policing.  But it turns out, the talking points about "having a conversation" weren't stated in good faith.  After Scott accepted 20 amendments on his legislation from Senate Democrats, they still voted it down, not even allowing debate on the bill.

McConnell: Notice How Chuck Schumer Acts As If Tim Scott Doesn't Even Exist.  This is as close as you may get to seeing Mitch McConnell give his race-baiting colleagues a taste of their own rhetorical medicine.  Following yesterday's disgraceful, hypocritical display on the Senate floor, South Carolina's Tim Scott gave a powerful speech that you should go back and watch.  Today, the GOP leader delivered compact, excellent remarks on what happened.

Why Are We Letting Democrats Steal from Us?  We cannot ignore that these anarchists are robbing us of the law and order required for our safety and prosperity.  When police forces are defunded, police are told to stand down, and the public supports the criminals over law-abiding citizens, the outcome is clear.  No-go zones like CHOP in Seattle, murder rates like those of Chicago, and riots and looting like those across our cities will become commonplace.  The leftists cannot explain how destroying peaceful and nonviolent co-existence, civil discourse, critical thinking, respect for differing opinions, and an honest teaching of American history is problematic for the black community because this is not about BLM. It's about power and keeping it in the hands of Democrats.  That would be the same party that has controlled our inner cities for decades, leading to the mess we're now seeing on display.

The Black Lives Matter Movement is the Enemy of African-Americans.  The first thing that I have to say is that I am an African-American man living in the Minneapolis area.  I have to state this now; otherwise, I would probably be called a racist.  Most people think Black Lives Matter is a grassroots, black-created, black-run organization dedicated to fighting racism.  It most certainly is not.  The Black Lives Matter movement is the creation of a group of a few very wealthy individuals, non-profit corporations, and the corporate media.  (Incidentally, 90% of the U.S. media is controlled by only six corporations.)  The official Black Lives Matter website, BlackLivesMatter.com, states that Black Lives Matter is a global network foundation that is active in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada.  A global network!  Who funds Black Lives Matter?  It's funded by billionaires George Soros (Open Society Foundation), Rob McKay (Taco Bell heir), the Ford Foundation, the Borealis Philanthropy, the Democracy Alliance, and many others.  Not exactly what I would call a black-run grassroots organization.  If these facts alone don't cause you to rethink the whole Black Lives Matter thing, then you just aren't paying attention.

Erasing the Past Leaves only the Present.  This past week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ordered that the official portraits of four of her predecessors be removed from the Capitol walls.  This grandiose display of virtue signaling occurred, she said, "because we must lead by example."  Example of what? [...] Speaker Pelosi really should think through why she wants to expunge the hallowed halls of "violent bigotry and grotesque racism".  The history of the Democratic Party is a chronicle of violent bigotry and grotesque racism.  The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s primarily in opposition to the pro-slavery policies of the Democratic Party.  The Confederacy, at which Madame Speaker rails so roundly, was the Democratic Party.  In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected as the first Republican President with a Republican Congress.  The slave holding Democrats were so incensed that abolitionist Republicans were in control that, in a monumental act of sedition, on April 12, 1861, they attacked Fort Sumter.  They seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America.  Does Pelosi propose to remove the picture and statue of every Democrat in the country as secessionist racists?

Remarkable documentary shows trials of black conservatives in a liberal world.  We often hear blacks complain about the struggles they deal with as a minority group in the USA.  We hear that blacks are being oppressed by a system that holds them back because of their race.  Some of their so-called "leaders" are telling them they can't make it in America due to the lack of opportunities for "people of color."  When someone, black or white, disagrees with that antediluvian contention, he's likely to be branded as a racist.  Yes, even if you're black and disagree with a white that racism is universal, you'll be deemed a racist.  It reminds me of a comment made recently by Candace Owens, a conservative pundit and political activist, who also happens to be black.  "The most ridiculous criticism of me is when I'm referred to as 'a black white supremacist,'" Owens said.  That raises the question of what's it like to be a minority within a minority.  That's a struggle conservative blacks deal with constantly.

Paris Dennard Blasts Joe Biden:  Democrats 'Have Put a Bigot at the Top of the Ticket'.  Paris Dennard told Breitbart News Saturday [...] that he expects the 2020 election to be a clear contrast between President Trump and Joe Biden, especially as it relates to delivering for black Americans.  Host Matt Boyle noted that, in Biden's time in the U.S. Senate, there were six resolutions that would have declared Juneteenth a national holiday, and Biden didn't so-sponsor a single one.

Audio Drops of Jimmy Kimmel Saying the N-Word, Using 'Black Voice'; Trump, Jr.  Calls Him Out.  Jimmy Kimmel has tried to do anything he could to attack President Donald Trump.  In 2018 one of the things he did was encourage Tom Arnold to find and release a tape that allegedly showed Trump using the N-word.  Of course, no one was even able to produce such a tape.  It was just one of the many hoaxes, put out there to demonize Trump.  But turns out there was in fact an N-word video, only it was Kimmel himself who was using the word repeatedly.  He was doing a Snoop Dogg imitation and using a "black voice" on former "Man Show" co-host Adam Carolla's podcast.

19 Black Americans Explain Why They're Conservative.  [#1] W.B. Allen:  My political conservatism is an effect or consequence, not a cause.  I am an American patriot, informed by a deep appreciation of the human significance of the advance in human affairs occasioned by the founding of the United States.  For the first time in human history, the idea that mankind in general was capable of self-government had been realized.  In these trying times, we must turn to the greatest document in the history of the world to promise freedom and opportunity to its citizens for guidance.  Moreover, the fulfillment of the promises attending that realization have been made manifest in the consistent progress of civilization in the United States, in which the power of the individual and the value of self-agency, informed by the security of religious conviction, have steadily reinforced real material progress and the opportunity for moral progress.  For those reasons, it is a matter of prudent judgment that one's political exertions should ever be careful to reinforce and not to undermine the foundations of the hopes invested in the political constitution of this nation.

Joe Biden and Friedrich Nietzsche.  According to Joe Biden, the basement candidate for president, ending "systemic racism" in the United States is "the moral obligation of our time."  Too late, Joe!  Systemic racism in the United States ended with the Union victory in the Civil War.  Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. On June 19 of that year, Union General Gordon Granger announced in Galveston, Texas, that all slaves in the state were free — Texas being that last state to comply with the Emancipation Proclamation.  That is the date that the latest Kwanzaa-like manufactured racialist holiday, "Juneteenth," is intended to celebrate and that Joe's minders intended to capitalize on by writing "Juneteenth:  A Reminder Of Black America's Long-Fought Fight For Justice."  The institution of slavery, which ended nearly 150 years ago, has no bearing — zero — on the plight of American blacks today.  What does affect them, mightily, is the destruction of the black family, a project brought to us by more than five decades of Democratic welfare policy.

A Hispanic vendor in Tulsa uses Alinsky tactics against a BLM supporter.  One of the things conservatives notice whenever leftists flare up is that, subject to a few notable exceptions (Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Dan Crenshaw), our conservative politicians are cowardly.  They never call out the leftists; instead, they simply try to soothe leftists' destructiveness while accepting their premises.  Thankfully, politicians are a minority amongst conservatives.  Most conservatives are regular folks who live and breathe their principles — as is the case with a Hispanic vendor at the Tulsa rally who got harassed by a couple of white Black Lives Matter protesters.  Instead of backing down, the vendor went full, and beautiful, Alinsky on the whole BLM premise.

Democrats Have Failed the Black Community for Too Long.  The Democrat Party has had decades to fulfill its promises to black Americans, but all it's delivered is crime-ridden cities bereft of economic opportunity.  It's time to shake things up.  In recent weeks, Americans have watched radical leftist anarchists and Antifa thugs engage in extreme violence and murder that will haunt many people for the rest of their lives. [...] The supposed justification for the rioting was the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, but in reality the rioters were just exploiting that cause for their own purposes.  Lost in all the savagery was the real life and memory of George Floyd.

The Democrats' Corruption of America's Inner Cities.  What are the real problems in America's inner cities?  Is it all about racism, or could it be a combination of several factors?  According to a survey of Chicago parents by the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, poverty, violence, and crime are also some of the biggest concerns in their neighborhoods.  Good jobs and capitalism could solve the poverty part of the problem, but if cities make it hard for businesses to come into town or for a local person to start a small business, citizens with little mobility stay poor.  Why wouldn't these cities want the freest, most business-friendly laws and policies imaginable for their citizens?  The answer is often that politicians care very little about their constituents but care deeply about their own power and money.  High taxes, crony capitalism (meaning favors for politicians and others who have the power to give the "right" companies the contracts), excessive regulations, and a culture of "it's who you know" combine to crush entrepreneurs and small business owners who are not among those favored by the powers that be.

Dick Durbin Has a White Fragility Problem.  Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) had some choice words to describe Sen. Tim Scott's (R., S.C.) police reform bill.  "What we say on the Democratic side is we can not waste this historic moment, this singular opportunity," Durbin said on the Senate floor while discussing the legislation proposed by Scott, who is black.  "Let's not do something that is a token, half-hearted approach."  As Durbin is almost certainly aware, "token" is a problematic, racially charged term used to denigrate the accomplishments of people of color.  Scott responded by asking whether Democratic leaders were still wearing the kente cloths they donned for an embarrassing photo op earlier this month.

Kente Cloth Worn By Democrats Was 'Historically Worn' By African Empire Involved In Slave Trade, Fact Checker Says.  A top mainstream fact-checker wrote on Tuesday that the Kente cloths that Democrats wore earlier this month after the death of George Floyd were "historically worn" by an "empire involved in [the] West African slave trade."  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, and other top Democrats wore the cloth to an event on June 8 in response to Floyd's death, which was widely criticized online.

Overwhelming Evidence Exposes Democrat Party's Ongoing Systemic Racism.  Facts:  America is accused of racism, of holding racial minorities back by way of system-wide white supremacism, and yet Jews, black Nigerians, Indian Americans (from India), and Asians are more successful in America than whites, and their respective imprison rates are lower than whites.  How is it possible in a country that we're told is riddled with the cancer of white supremacism for those four groups to enjoy a higher standard of living and more success than their all-powerful, white oppressors?

Cancel Culture — What Happens When Everything Gets Cancelled?  Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.  It may be an innocuous word or tweet from years ago, that through the long memory of social media can resurface, leading to public group shaming of an individual. [...] Uber liberals however, like MSNBC's Joy Reid, get a pass for past homophobic blog posts.  Other woke liberals who toe the line on global warming and abortion also get a pass for racially insensitive behavior like wearing blackface.  They weren't singing 'Mammy" with Al Jolson a century ago, but wearing blackface far more recently.  Examples include Howard Stern, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Virginia Governor Ralph (Coonman) Northam.  The cancel culture has morphed to cancelling America because of who it might offend.  What happens when everything gets cancelled and we become a society described by letters and numbers, eliminating our rich history and traditions?

The left is in control of every major institution
If 'The Left Controls Every Major Institution,' Then...  Whose fault?  Obama's "bitter clingers?" Hillary Clinton's "deplorables?"  A cabal of NRA members holed up in a secret gun range? [...] Maybe, just maybe, the answer is right in front of our faces:  That the "major institutions" in America, the "system" if you like, have not in fact been helping to end racism in America.  Instead they have been systematically making it worse.  Mainstream media have been giving airtime for decades to straight-up racists like Revs.  Jackson and Sharpton.  Academia has been counting the number of racists on the head of a pin with its intellectual fog of grievance studies and postmodern rubbish.  Administrative government has been administering the straight-up racism of quotas, Affirmative Action, goals and timetables, diversity and inclusion.  Hollywood insists on casting blacks as scientists and women as superheroes.  Big Tech has been hiring South Asians by the upper-caste Brahmin load, when it could have been hiring blacks from the 'hood.


Of course there is systemic racism in America and it's in the Democratic Party.  These past couple of weeks have been some of the saddest I've seen in my lifetime as an African-American.  It began with the tragic, needless, death of George Floyd, but then quickly escalated into some of the most vicious, violent rioting our country has seen in decades.  The Democratic Party, true to form, never lets a crisis go to waste.  It has seized on what should be a time of healing and instead made the conversation more divisive by lecturing us all about how systemic racism is supposedly rampant in the United States.  The great irony here is that yes, there's plenty of systemic racism in our country; it's all wrapped up in the history of the Democratic Party.  The rot goes deep, back to the post-Civil War era.  Former slaves and their children were forced for decades to endure the cruel, wretched Jim Crow laws that kept them from advancing in the South.  And who was all too happy to keep those laws in place?  The Democrats.

The Ugly Racism of Karl Marx.  Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives.  It was created by Karl Marx, who — along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels — wrote a pamphlet called "Manifesto of the Communist Party."  In 1867, Marx wrote the first volume of "Das Kapital."  The second and third volumes were published posthumously, edited by Engels.  Few people who call themselves Marxists have ever even bothered to read "Das Kapital."  If one did read it, he would see that people who call themselves Marxists have little in common with Marx.  For those who see Marx as their hero, there are a few historical tidbits they might find interesting.

We have Biden's eulogy of the Exalted Cyclops of the KKK, Robert C. Byrd.  Joe Biden was a good friend of the late Senator Robert C. Byrd.  Biden eulogized Byrd when he died, claiming 'Bob' "elevated" the Senate but he left out the part where Byrd "exalted" the KKK.  He called KKK Byrd the "embodiment" of his state.  [Video clip]

The Morning After the Riots End.  There will come a morning when the protests stop, the riots end, the fires are extinguished, and insufficiently woke editors will cease to be intimidated.  The Democratic leadership will no longer wear kente cloth or take a knee.  Before us will be shopping malls littered with shards of glass and merchandise that looters couldn't carry off.  The burned-out vehicles and rubble of once-viable businesses will scar our communities.  The notion of people of color will become less meaningful as the Korean dry cleaner weeps over the ruins of his business.  The Palestinian-American in Chicago looks at the liquor store he inherited from his father and wonders if he can rebuild the business.  The Asian restaurant owner whose small take-out establishment supported a family and sent two children to college will wonder where to begin again.  The Mexican-American business owner will wonder why he was targeted.  The black firefighter who built a sports bar that was burned to the ground will ask the same question.

Where Black Lives Don't Matter.  Milwaukee and every other big blue city in America have been marked by a decades-long murder merry-go-round that has nothing to do with the police.  The overwhelming majority of the murdered — and the murderers — in America's cities are young black men who were cheated out of a decent education by the inexcusably substandard Democrat-run public schools they had no choice but to attend.  Because many were functionally illiterate and afflicted with arrested psychological development, they lacked the skills to hold down even the most basic entry-level job.  So what did these frustrated and angry young men do?  Most turned to a life of drugs and crime, with many ending up dead or in prison before reaching their 20th birthdays.  For generations on end, black-on-black homicides in Democrat-run cities have been an ongoing calamity for the black community.  On May 31, Chicago experienced a record 18 homicides in a single day.  Year to date, the city has chalked up 264 murders, with young black men a solid majority of the victims, which raises the question: are those black lives any less important than George Floyd's, any less deserving of our outrage?  Chicago is the poster child for urban carnage, but every big blue city in America has overseen a breeding ground for black-on-black havoc, and they've done it for the last half-century.

America's New Caste System?  [Scroll down]  Obviously black elites benefit from this social restructuring, but why are white elites going along?  Because it better ensures their own grip on wealth and power.  It's important to recognize that social status is not entirely synonymous with wealth and power.  Many genuflecting leftist white people are wealthier and have more important jobs than the black people to whom they are being obsequious.  But like a well-to-do commoner in the presence of a hard-on-his-luck aristocrat, the curtsey demonstrates relative social position.  By taking a "secondary" social position to their acknowledged black "betters," white elites reduce lower class pressure on their own wealth and status at little cost.  They still get to dominate lower non-black classes, and economically and politically dominate black Americans, despite their own socially "inferior status."  There is a very apt historical analogy for this, the ancient Indian caste system.

Democrats kneeled and they cannot get up.  On Monday, congressional Democrats put on African stoles, walked to a photogenic spot at the Capitol, and knelt to show support for Black Lives Matter movement.  When the photo op was over, Nancy couldn't get up.  An aide rushed to help the 80-year-old woman get to her feet.  I believe this is what political experts call a defining moment.  Democrats have bowed to the Black Liberation Movement, but they cannot get back up.  Oh, the BLM has changed its name to Black Lives Matter.  The goal remains the same: break down American society and rebuild it as a communist dictatorship.  Not only did it look bad but wearing garb made from Kente cloth was a cultural appropriation.  Jade Bentil, a Ghanaian-Nigerian researcher at University of Oxford, tweeted, "My ancestors did not invent Kente cloth for them to be worn by publicity (obsessed) politicians as 'activism' in 2020."

The True Plight of Black Americans.  While it might not be popular to say in the wake of the recent social disorder, the true plight of black people has little or nothing to do with the police or what has been called "systemic racism." Instead, we need to look at the responsibilities of those running our big cities.  Some of the most dangerous big cities are:  St.  Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Chicago, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Newark, Buffalo and Philadelphia.  The most common characteristic of these cities is that for decades, all of them have been run by liberal Democrats.  Some cities — such as Detroit, Buffalo, Newark and Philadelphia — haven't elected a Republican mayor for more than a half-century.  On top of this, in many of these cities, blacks are mayors, often they dominate city councils, and they are chiefs of police and superintendents of schools. [...] The bottom line is that today's black Americans have significant political power at all levels of government.  Yet, what has that meant for a large segment of the black population?  Democratic-controlled cities have the poorest-quality public education despite their large, and growing, school budgets.  Consider Baltimore, Maryland.  In 2016, in 13 of Baltimore's 39 high schools, not a single student scored proficient on the state's math exam.  In six other high schools, only 1% tested proficient in math.  Only 15% of Baltimore students passed the state's English test. [...] It's the same story of academic disaster in other cities run by Democrats.

Americans Don't Kneel.  Bowing is all the rage on the left these days.  Black Lives Matter activists are making idiot white women bow and kiss their boots.  Yes, literally.  Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat dimwits in Congress took a knee, bowing their heads, and then couldn't get back up.  In the worst form of this, a police chief chose to lay down prostrate for eight minutes for the mob.  These cases of performative obsequiousness should disgust all free people, but especially Americans.  The fundamental truth about where our rights come from, God, and that all men are equal before God should be front and center in every citizen's core beliefs. [...] The Left (yes, Antifa, and yes, BLM, the communist movement) wants to see all of America cower, bow, scrape, and beg for forgiveness for their existence and for crimes they never committed.  They hate their own country.  They want, as Barack Obama said, to remake America.  To transform it into a communist society.  They hate anyone who disagrees with them.  They are willing to use the traumas of anyone, even a dead man, to fortify their power.  They don't care about the black business and homeowners in burned-out cities.  They breezily use these people for their political ends.  If black people and other minorities must live in razed ghettos, it's fine so long as they possess power.  Making people bow is icing on the cake.

 Outrage at Democrats Wearing Kente Cloth During Moment of Silence: 'So Woke It Actually Feels Racist'.  Democrat lawmakers, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), are facing overwhelming backlash after opting to wear Kente cloth during their nearly nine-minute moment of silence in a show against police brutality.  Many users across social media questioned their motives and blasted them for missing the mark.  Pelosi and fellow Democrat lawmakers, including Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), took a knee on Monday for eight minutes and 46 seconds as a show of solidarity with Americans protesting police brutality and remembering those who have died, including George Floyd, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin.  Democrats could be seen kneeling in unison, with most wearing Kente cloth — a special fabric with deep and meaningful origins rooted in West Africa — in a seeming attempt to show further solidarity with the black community.  Their attempt, however, appeared to many to fall flat.

Kira Davis:  What the Democrats Did Today Was Political Blackface.  Today we witnessed political theater that was not only truly cringe-inducing but disgustingly patronizing.  In the congressional rotunda, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer (alongside other Democrat representatives) took a knee for black lives or racial justice or George Floyd.  It was for something... that's all you need to know.  They also inexplicably wore kente cloths — Ghanian patterns that have come to represent general African culture in America.  I've known people (including myself) to wear these and other patterns because they're beautiful and flattering.  I've never known any white person to appropriate these patterns for a very public but vague cultural statement.  Until today.  It's all so bizarre.  I find it particularly infuriating that any of the black representatives signed off on such a thing.  As I watched Pelosi and Schumer smugly parade around for the cameras in their kente cloths and African-themed colors I was trying to imagine the conversation that had to have happened behind the scenes for this to happen.  Who thought this was a good idea?  It was embarrassing to watch, more embarrassing to realize they thought black people like me might be in the least moved by such an open display of pandering.  To me it was nothing more than political blackface.

Extreme Cringe — Speaker Nancy Pelosi Unites The New Black Pander Party.  In a carefully orchestrated, timed and planned effort to maximize the political strategy of Joe Biden's campaign director, James Clyburn, the capitol building was used as a stage.  While simultaneously making cultural appropriation great again House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, gave her political stunt crew Kente cloths to wear while bringing New Black Pander Party (NBPP) together for a cringe-worthy political stunt at Emancipation Hall.  The motives of the effort are transparent.  The Democrat party, writ large, has made the calculation they cannot win the 2020 election without racial activism as the driver for votes.  South Carolina representative James Clyburn is directing the Joe Biden campaign on the best utility for black pandering, specifically focusing on the AME church network. [...] It does not matter what your race, ethnicity or skin color is, no-one likes being talked down to.  The nature of the leftist political effort by Pelosi's white coastal elites is based on expressed superiority in alignment with the 'you ain't black enough' outlook from Biden.

Does America Want Submissive Leaders?  In the wake of the George Floyd riots, Democratic Party leaders have assumed extraordinarily submissive postures, apparently on the theory that they are guilty in Floyd's death.  They said it, I didn't.  Here, the Democratic Congressional delegation (or a significant part of it) knelt for eight minutes and 43 seconds in honor of George Floyd, the armed robber, while wearing black separatist garb. [...] For the moment, let's put aside the moral question of whether such submission is appropriate.  My own view is that liberals are always happy to apologize for something that someone else did — usually someone who is not here to defend himself — while stubbornly resisting any accountability for their own disastrous actions.  But let's ask a different question:  do Americans want political leaders who are, by personality, submissive?  Who kneel to people who hate them, and adopt those haters' symbols?  Whose first impulse is to apologize, prostrate themselves and wash someone else's feet?

Jerry Nadler becomes instant meme, as Dem theatrics get ripped to smithereens.  As Democrats continue to be torched over their blatant pandering in kneeling in the U.S. Capitol, one participant in the stunt is getting extra attention for all the wrong reasons.  Though U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler was part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's nearly nine-minute moment of silence in Emancipation Hall on Monday, the New York Democrat apparently had some difficulty literally taking a knee for George Floyd who died in Minneapolis last week. [...] Democrat lawmakers, many of whom slammed President Trump for supposedly staging a "photo op" by holding a Bible in front of St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, were slammed for the spectacle they staged themselves on Monday, wearing African kente cloth scarves.

Why the Democrats' Moment of Silence for George Floyd Today Should Horrify Black Voters.  If you're a Democrat and support the latest police reform bill, that makes you black. [...] Now, to ensure that black voters don't leave them, congressional Democrats, quarterbacked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, decided to have a moment of silence for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed in Minneapolis on May 25 after being placed under arrest by the police. [...] The group, mostly white, wore Kente cloth.  It's traditional Africa garb, which these clowns had no business wearing.  It was a sad and pathetic exercise in pandering, and oh yes — black voters noticed.

Shaun King:  Democrats Run The Cities With [the] Worst Police Brutality.  As debates about police brutality and systemic racism rock the country in the wake of George Floyd's horrific death at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King let himself utter an uncomfortable truth that other activists have been ignoring:  Democrats control all the major cities where black people are experiencing the most police brutality and systemic racism.  In a tweet on Friday [6/5/2020], the activist scolded those who tell black Americans to affect change through voting, asserting that such blind thinking may not exactly be the panacea people are talking about.

On Being Pounded With Lies About 'Systemic' Racism in America.  [Scroll down]  After my decades-plus career at the Big Firms, I decided I wanted fewer billable hours and more time to be a rabbi and to teach law students.  So I went to work for a billionaire in Los Angeles residential housing.  The hours were great, the work easy, and he paid me a boatload of money to represent him.  As I started working for him a few weeks, I came to see that he is an old dinosaur from another time — a racist and sexist like Joe Biden.  He would make racist comments like those that Joe Biden makes, about how some Black person amazingly is not only presentable but also clean, about how Black mothers are so stupid that their kids only hear maybe 300 words through childhood, about how you have to be from India or Pakistan to walk into a donut shop.  He was exactly the duplicate of Joe Biden racism, a cloned racist.  He had every demographic group pigeon-holed in a stereotype.  And, like Joe Biden, he could not keep his hands off women — smelling their hair, stroking their hair, putting his hands on and rubbing their shoulders.  For a moment, I had a dream job, but I had to quit after a short time because he was such a rarefied bigot like Biden, and my soul felt polluted every time I walked in.  This is not "systemic."  It does not permeate our society or our culture.  Indeed, the society spits out anyone who reveals as racist.

50 Questions About Racism In America.  [Scroll down]  Can you describe the policies implemented during the eight years of the Obama/Biden administration to fight racism, and were they successful?  Why or why not?  Joe Biden has been an elected official for over 40 years.  Can you name the things he has done to fight racism?  Considering why you are here today, would you say these policies have been successful?  The state of Minnesota and specifically the city of Minneapolis have been run by Democrats for years.  Can you tell me why they haven't implemented policies to prevent this tragedy considering how long they have been in charge?

Why Do Democrat Politicians Hate Black People So Much?  Nearly every city where horrific violence and looting have occurred this past week are dominated by Democrat politicians, Democrat policies, and Democrat ideologies.  Knowing that it seems that the projected issues of police violence and racial disparity have been made worse, MUCH WORSE, whenever and wherever Democrats are in charge.  So, it seems only logical to conclude Democrat politicians hate black people. [...] You want a real revolution in America?  Then stop voting en masse for the very Democrat policies that have been choking the life out of black communities for decades.

Liberal Mayors, Racial Politics, and Fake News.  There are three things you need to know about the unrest associated with the killing of George Floyd.  First, almost all major cities these days are governed by Democrats, usually liberal Democrats.  Second, black Americans have suffered because of the public policies these cities have adopted.  Third, the reason why city governments adopt policies harmful to black families is not because they are racists; it's because they are liberal.  In city after city, all too often black families are forced to send their children to the worst schools; they are forced to live in the worst housing; they receive the worst city services (including policing); and they are subject to the worst environmental harms.  The politicians who run these cities are Democrats.  Many of them are black themselves.  Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed, is an example.

Black murder reality.  [Scroll down]  Are black men, women and children people being murdered?  Absolutely.  How many, why and by whom (and what sort of cultural conditioning preceded this reign of death) is a discussion that will not take place.  The horrific reality is that the misery of the black condition is a revenue stream for both the public and private sectors.  Black lives Matter?  Black lives comprise the raw material that is fed into fraudulent public education, (little more than holding pens) until they are of age for the crime/punishment, social services, and abortion industries.  Their misery is exploited by white and black politicians, community organizers, and crime syndicates.  The current fiasco is a case in point.

'Defund the Police' Would be a Catastrophe for Black People Especially.  It wasn't enough to throw Molotov cocktails into squad cars or hurl recently-bought, pristine bricks at the backs of cops' heads or through the windows of their precincts.  Now we must "Defund the Police" as well.  That along with a new call-and-response-on-your-knees demonstration of white fealty to blacks (cf. Bethesda, Md. and West Hollywood, Calif.) are the most recent tropes in our ongoing, Robespierre-like societal suicide.  I wonder how real-life African-Americans feel about that latter unbelievably bizarre cultish display of Caucasian virtue signaling gone berserk?  The truth is that nearly everything that is declared as righteous or politically correct by our liberal/progressive elites (for ten minutes, anyway) and then trumpeted as such by the media is the reverse.  It is usually a horrendous idea.  Nothing is more so than "Defund the Police."  Well, not completely.  It's a perfectly good idea for Hollywood celebrities (many of whom back it in a big way) and high-level corporate execs who almost always have their own well-trained 24-hour personal security forces armed with the latest high-tech gizmos that would be the envy of El Chapo.

During This Spate of Racial Outrage, Here Are Some Deeply Uncomfortable Facts for the Press, the Activists, and Even Ben & Jerry's.  [Scroll down]  This is the language we normally see attached to the messaging of "Systemic racism".  The problem, however, is one of location.  While it sounds great to attribute Floyd's death to the racism built into the culture, what few are willing to do is analyze that culture.  So why don't we look into the system where this crime took place?  To start, you have as the city Mayor, Jacob Frey, an avowed leftist who follows a string of Democratic liberal leaders.  The last time a Republican was elected to run the city was 1957.  The police chief of Minneapolis is Medaria Arradondo, a black police official.  The federal representative for the city, in Washington, is the famed female POC Ilhan Omar, and the top cop for the state is another POC and former head of the DNC, Attorney General Keith Ellison.  Are these the leaders perpetuating the culture of white supremacy?  Just to add to the list, you have Minnesota headed by Democrat Tim Walz, the state is served by two Democrat senators, including Amy Klobuchar who spent years as an acting state attorney in a few offices, and even the sister city of Saint Paul has as its Mayor, Melvin Carter, another POC leader.  These would be the people operating the "racist and prejudicial system and culture".

Americans are bowing down before the mob because of the Big Lie.  One of the more disturbing images to emerge in the past few days has been of police officers and National Guardsman kneeling — effectively bowing down — before the mob.  These men and women who represent the forces of law and order claim that they are kneeling in solidarity, but what they're doing looks remarkably like surrender.  The reason they are doing so is almost certainly because they believe the Big Lie that leftists are selling — namely, that law enforcement is causing a black "genocide."  While it's true that there is black genocide in America, it's not coming from law enforcement.  It's coming straight from Planned Parenthood, the Democrats' most sacred organization. [...] Ten unarmed men dying at police hands in a single year is sad but it's not genocide or even attempted genocide.  There is a genocide in black America, though.  In 2018, blacks accounted for 36% of all abortions, despite being only 13.4% of the population.  In 2016, in New York, black women aborted more babies than they carried to term.

Joe Biden black church pandering
Biden Takes a Knee — Media Ignore "Photo Op" Narrative.  An interesting juxtaposition provides yet another example of how national media shape their narratives.  Yesterday President Trump visited St. John's church in Washington DC. Democrats and national media immediately declared it a stunt, a "photo op".  However, at the same time President Trump was visiting St. Johns', candidate Joe Biden was visiting Bethel AME church in Wilmington, Delaware, and the media were very careful to avoid labeling this captured moment:  [Photo]


The Left Couldn't Care Less About Blacks.  If the left cared about blacks, leftists would work to raise blacks to universal academic standards, not lower and abolish standards as they have done for decades, most recently in abolishing the SAT exam at the University of California.  If the left cared about blacks, leftists would work to elevate all people, including blacks, not only to universal academic standards but also to universal personal/moral standards.  Perhaps the most obvious of these is that women should marry before having children, and men should stay in the lives of children they conceived — ideally as the husband of their mothers, but at least as a father, mentor and breadwinner. [...] If the left cared about blacks, they would encourage a vibrant religious life in the inner city (and everywhere else, for that matter).  What proportion of black (or nonblack) murderers had attended church the Sunday before they committed murder?  But the left despises traditional Judeo-Christian religions as much it despises America.

Joe Biden's racism a Democratic Party tradition.  True, we have not even elected him president yet, but isn't it already time to start dismantling Joe Biden's presidential library?  After all, he has a long history of supporting white supremacists and just being an all-around racially insensitive, privileged white geezer.  To be fair, Mr. Biden did not invent the Democratic Party or its racism.  But for nearly 50 years he has knowingly and willingly associated himself with and supported the causes of the Democratic Party, known throughout history for its association with white supremacy. [...] Just last year, Mr. Biden bragged how well he worked with other fierce segregationists in his own party.  So enthusiastic is Mr. Biden about his fond memories of working with the ol' time racists that whenever he waxes poetic about them, he slips into a fake Southern accent.  At a fundraiser last year, Mr. Biden recalled warmly — in a fake Southern accent — how one of the old racist bulls "never called me 'boy.'  He always called me 'son.'"  This is how Mr. Biden always talks when channeling his party's long, ugly history with racism and racist politics.

Black Americans are in an abusive relationship with the Democratic party.  Senator Kamala Harris was severely scrutinized for her treatment of poor black women as a prosecutor — yet Biden's criminal justice record makes Harris look like Thurgood Marshall.  Biden authored and successfully passed the $30[billion] 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.  Besides putting 100,000 additional police officers in the streets, the crime bill distributed funding for new prison construction, encouraged prosecutors to charge children as adults, and even added the death penalty for 28 new areas, including drug-related offenses.  Pushing for further criminalization, then senator Biden argued that George HW Bush's crime plan did not go far enough because it did not "include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs, not enough prosecutors to convict them, not enough judges to sentence them, and not enough prison cells to put them away for a long time".  An older black generation fought through Jim Crow only for Biden to help make sure that their children and grandchildren lived through a new Jim Crow.

If You Ain't Racist You Ain't a Democratic Presidential Candidate.  Just imagine the apocalyptic response if Donald Trump stated that "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Biden, then you ain't white..."  For those paying attention, this isn't the first abjectly racist statement to slip through the bumbling lips of Joe Biden.  For example, last August he declared that "poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."  Fortunately, the Democratic Party's finely-tuned sensitivity to racism has a tendency to suffer from short term memory loss when politically convenient.  With that in mind, it is certain that this latest bizarre, foolish, and obviously racist statement by Joe Biden will soon be swept aside and forgotten.  While the Left will attempt to deflect and distract, we should loudly celebrate that the Democrats finally have a presidential candidate who is happy to unveil the deep and repulsive layers of racism which form their very foundation.

Former Sanders Campaign Co-Chair Slams Biden Over His Racist Comments About Blacks.  Former Vice President Joe Biden has struggled to attract Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters.  After all, Sanders supporters want someone who is progressive, who will fundamentally change what America looks like.  The truth is Joe Biden is an establishment Democrat who has been in politics for decades.  He's not going to drastically change our political structure.  Even though Sanders endorsed the veep, Biden dug himself deeper into a hole on Friday when he said African Americans that vote for President Donald Trump "ain't black."  Nina Tina, the Sanders campaign's National Co-Chair, told the progressive outlet Status Coup that Biden's comments reaffirm that Democrats must earn the black vote.

'You can have your blackness back' MAGA HULK has pointed message for Plantation Joe Biden.  A truly big supporter of President Donald Trump issued a very clear message to presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden.  A California man known as "MAGA HULK" addressed Biden's controversial "you ain't black" remarks in a video message that created a sensation on social media.  [Video clip]

Biden Reelected Trump Last Friday.  Usually, it's necessary to wait until after a presidential election is over before it becomes possible to identify the point at which the dynamics of the contest began to favor the eventual winner.  Occasionally, however, the turning point is blindingly obvious.  President Reagan's 1984 reelection, for example, was all but assured when Walter Mondale included a promise to raise taxes in his speech accepting the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.  Likewise, former Vice President Joe Biden almost certainly handed the 2020 election to President Trump last Friday [5/22/2020] when he told an African-American interviewer, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."

Hey, Joe Biden, I'm black enough to think for myself.  The Democratic Party has taken the black vote for granted for decades, but on Friday [5/22/2020] former Vice President Joe Biden took this view to a new and very hurtful level.  During a morning interview on a popular urban radio show, "The Breakfast Club," Biden said:  "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you ain't black."  In civil discourse, we must be able to disagree and to make our case without reducing American voters to the color of their skin.  Biden's statement is the epitome of arrogance and condescension.  He challenged millions of black Americans — the descendants of slaves — to choose between our right to think for ourselves and our identities.  Biden backpedaled on his offensive comment later in the day after he got a well-deserved torrent of criticism.  "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy....  No one should have to vote for any party based on their race or religion or background," he said in a desperate effort at damage control.

A 'deplorables' moment for Joe Biden shows why he won't win the black vote.  Joe Biden's disastrous interview with black radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Friday encapsulates everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party and its presidential hopeful.  "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, you ain't black," the former vice president blurted out at the end of the interview.  It was a statement so staggeringly, primitively racist, that it landed like a gut punch to many black Americans, of all political persuasions, who took to the airwaves to denounce it over the weekend.  "It played into the long-standing notion that the black vote is uncritical and guaranteed," said left-wing writer Roxane Gay.  Former NFL player Jack Brewer declared "the mask is off."

As Long As a Political Party Believes It Owns African-Americans, Blacks Will Not Be Free.  As long as Democrats define Blacks as their property — believing essentially that "You belong to us, or you ain't Black" — they will see the Black community in the same way that carpetbaggers saw the recently freed slaves a century and a half ago, as a hoodwinked population ripe for the pickings and who can be trained — and addicted — to rely on the Democrats for Big Government "largesse."  That "largesse" comes in the form of handouts: food stamps, welfare, the whole "Great Society" litany.  Yet, more than half a century since the Democrats' "Great Society" was unfurled, the situation has remained appalling in precisely the communities that it supposedly was targeted to help.  Look at history's lessons:  Payments to families based on their size induced many households to have more children than they were prepared to rear or support.  Reductions of government payments for two-income households induced men to abandon their homes, wives, children.  Boys thus grew up without fathers as male role models for waking up every morning, going to work all day, and staying up late at night paying bills.  Later, abortion on demand disproportionately reduced the Black population even in homes that could have afforded, loved, and reared one more child successfully.

"Technically Black": Atlantic Columnist Supports Biden's Statement That Black Trump Supporters Are Not Really Black.  Former Vice President Joe Biden had a bad day yesterday [10/22/2020] after his statement during an interview with Charlamagne tha God on the radio show "The Breakfast Club" that "if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."  To Biden's credit, he came out an apologized. [...] However, Atlantic staff writer Jemele Hill has kept the controversy brewing with her insistence that Biden's statement that over a million such Black voters in recent polling are not really (as opposed to "technically") black was "accurate."  The controversy raises some of the issues addressed recently in a column on the stereotyping of Trump supporters.

Sen. Tim Scott:  Biden's 'You Ain't Black' Line 'Sadly Par for the Course for Democrats'.  Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) denounced Joe Biden's assertion Friday [5/22/2020] that "you ain't black" if voters might not support him over President Donald Trump, saying the former vice president's comments were just further indication Democrats take the black community for granted.  Scott, one of the most high-profile black elected officials within the Republican Party, took to social media shortly after Biden appeared for an interview on the Breakfast Club, a popular radio program, and made the controversial remarks.

Biden Apologizes for Saying Black Voters 'Ain't Black' if They're Considering Trump.  Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, apologized Friday afternoon [5/22/2020] for telling a radio host that black voters torn between voting for him and President Trump "ain't black," remarks that ignited a firestorm online.  "I shouldn't have been such a wise guy," Mr. Biden said in a call with the U.S. Black Chambers.  "I shouldn't have been so cavalier."  He later said that he had not been expected to join the call, a possible sign of a hastily arranged appearance.

Architect of NYT's 1619 project draws distinction between 'politically black and racially black'.  New York Times luminary Nikole Hannah-Jones, architect of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1619 Project, touched off a social-media uproar Friday after drawing a distinction between being "politically black and being racially black."  "There is a difference between being politically black and being racially black," tweeted Ms. Hannah-Jones.  "I am not defending anyone, but we all know this and should stop pretending that we don't."  Despite insisting that she was not defending "anyone," Ms. Hannah-Jones made her comments shortly after former Vice President Joseph R. Biden suggested that only Democrat-voting blacks are truly black in a heated exchange with radio host Charlamagne Tha God.

BET Founder Robert Johnson:  Joe Biden 'Should Spend the Rest of His Campaign Apologizing to Every Black Person He Meets'.  BET co-founder Robert Johnson has condemned Joe Biden for claiming that black people aren't really black if they don't vote for him.  "VP Biden's statement today represents the arrogant and out-of-touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell Black people, the descendants of slaves, that they are not Black unless they vote for him," Johnson said in a statement obtained by Fox News's Bret Baier.

A Deplorable Moment for Every Black American in This Country.  Joe Biden saying, "You ain't black" if you're on the fence about voting for him over President Donald Trump is beyond insulting. [...] The Democratic Party was founded in the 1820s in part to preserve chattel slavery in America.  After the Civil War, pro-slavery zealots in the Democratic Party became pro-segregation barbarians who brutalized, terrorized, and lynched those of my parents and grandparents' generation if they even thought about voting for a Republican. [...] Today, the line of pro-abortion Democrats could stretch from the earth to the moon and back, despite the fact that in some cases, more black babies are aborted in one year than are born alive.  Those same pro-abortion Democrats shriek, endlessly, about how black lives matter, but are silent when hundreds of thousands of black lives are ended in the womb. [...] As far as the Democratic Party has historically been concerned, black people are property or political props.

Republican Senator Tim Scott has a lot to say about Joe Biden's 'you ain't black' comment.  U.S. Senator Tim Scott joined a chorus of voices condemning presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for "arrogant" comments he made during a radio interview.  The Republican senator from South Carolina slammed the former vice president on the "condescending" declaration he made in an interview with Charlamagne tha God, co-host of "The Breakfast Club" radio show.  Scott spoke on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Co."  on Friday [5/22/2020] about Biden's latest controversial statement.  [Video clip]

'Insulting, demeaning, racist': Biden steps in it bigtime when he says 'you ain't black' if you consider vote for Trump.  During a radio show interview Thursday, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden told a black radio host that he "ain't black" if he's still mulling over who to vote for in the upcoming 2020 general election.  The stunning remarks triggered outrage from a spate of black Americans already disgusted by the Democrat Party taking their votes for granted.  The remarks were made during the tail end of Biden's interview with Charlamagne tha God, the co-host of the "The Breakfast Club" radio show.  [Video clip]

Lawmaker from Detroit sues Whitmer, fellow Democrats over censure after she met with President Trump.  State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday [5/21/2020] against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and several fellow Democrats, claiming violations of free speech and defamation.  Specifically, Whitsett claimed Whitmer and the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization sought to deprive her of her right to engage in protected speech after she publicly thanked President Donald Trump for his suggestion of using the drug hydroxychloroquine to treat her coronavirus case.

Dear GOP: Stop Cowering Before Bad-Faith Race Card Attacks.  In 2012, then-Vice President Joe Biden told a black crowd in Virginia that the Republican Party was planning to "put you all back in chains."  In 2000, a Democratic group ran an ad saying that then-Gov. George W. Bush's stance on hate crimes legislation was equivalent to killing James Byrd, the black man dragged to his death by three white supremacists in a truck in Texas.  Policy proposals to ensure the integrity of ballots are routinely presented by Democrats as not just racist but as having no function other than racism.  Although Democrats have a near-monopoly on the black vote, the welfare, busing, and affirmative action programs they passed have failed to produce the promised results.  And let's not forget Democrats remain completely hostage to the demands of teachers unions, which resist basic educational reforms and have made trapping kids in underperforming schools the "civil rights issue of our time."  Because unions demanded it, one of Obama's first acts as president was to kill off D.C.'s school vouchers program — which disproportionately helped poor black kids.  Democrats have done a lot of grandstanding but very little to revise, improve, or get rid of these expensive programs.

Infamous 'Waitress Sandwich' Senator Chris Dodd Joins Biden's VP Search Committee.  Former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd, who is linked to corporate bailouts, lobbying for Hollywood, and alleged sexual assault of a waitress at a restaurant, is among seven individuals appointed to Joe Biden's Vice Presidential selection task force.  Dodd, the 75-year-old from Connecticut, will be joined by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., and former Biden counsel Cynthia Hogan.  Three other appointees will work specifically on vetting chosen candidates; Bob Bauer, husband to former Obama Communications Director Anita Dunn, Obama homeland security advisor Lisa Monaco, and law professor Dana Remus.

Biden and Dodd: a Stupidity Sandwich.  [Scroll down]  Almost 30 years after Bill Clinton's promise of a cabinet "that looks like America," the Democrats' decisions are being made by a 75-year-old prep-school graduate at a white-shoe law firm first elected to federal office in 1974.  I'm sure the Democrats don't need me to be irritated in their behalf, but this seems like an obviously bone-headed move to me.

Democrats threaten to expel Democratic lawmaker for surviving COVID-19 with hydroxychloroquine and thanking Trump.  What kind of a creature "censures" a black woman who just barely survived the coronavirus and then went on to thank President Trump for suggesting hydroxychloroquine, the drug that turned the tide for her?  Only a Democrat.  And in Gretchen Whitmer's Michigan, these beasts have proliferated.  Rather than offer thanks to heaven for their fellow Detroit legislator's survival, along with lots of proverbial pats on the back and expressions of support for her recovery, which is what decent people do, these Democrats had different ideas.  They decided to punish her, whipping out their censorship apparat and threatening party expulsion all for the 'crime' of surviving COVID-19 by taking hydroxychloroquine and remembering and thanking President Trump.  Michigan's already grossly unpopular governor, Gretchen Whitmer, who banned garden seed sales, mowing the lawn, and visiting one's own getaway cabin, has actually been making time in her busy schedule to send crank texts to the lawmaker, Karen Whitsett.

No one is allowed to leave the DNC plantation, ever!  Michigan Democrats are apoplectic that State Representative Karen Whitsett credited President Trump for her coronavirus recovery earlier in the month with praise for his support for hydroxychloroquine.  Making the issue even worse for the party of authoritarian control Mrs. Whitsett is black, and thinking for herself.

Whitmer Sent Unpleasant Text Messages To Dem Lawmaker Who Thanked Trump for Her Coronavirus Recovery.  On Fox News Friday night [4/24/2020], Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett told Tucker Carlson that text messages she's been receiving from Governor Whitmer have not been pleasant ever since the Democratic state lawmaker credited President Trump for her personal recovery from the Wuhan coronavirus.  The lawmaker now faces a censure from her Democratic colleagues for crediting the president for her recovery.  Tucker Carlson asked Whitsett if the governor ever called the representative to simply say, "I'm so glad you didn't die?"  "Actually, it was not as pleasant as that," Rep. Whitsett began, "and the text messages that we have had since then have not been as pleasant as well."

Bitter Dems plan to censure Mich Rep who credited Trump with saving her life.  Democrats reached a new low in their hatred of President Donald Trump and the mission to destroy anyone who doesn't agree with them.  Instead of Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett getting celebratory messages after recovering from COVID-19, the Democrat is facing censure by her own party members in Detroit.  Whitsett is guilty of crediting Trump with saving her life after taking hydroxychloroquine to treat her severe coronavirus symptoms.

Authoritarian Democrat Party Punishes Two Black Office-Holders for Wrongthink.  Georgia state rep Vernon Jones said he was leaving the Democrat plantation — but then received so much vitriol and harassment from Democrats he said he would resign his seat.  Now, thanks to an outpouring of support, he says he'll keep his seat.

Trump-supporting Georgia Democrat won't resign after 'outcry from the people'.  In a 180-degree turn, Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Democrat, said Thursday [4/23/2020] he will not resign because of the backlash from his endorsement of President Trump.  Jones, 59, announced his support for the president on April 14, pointing to Trump's "handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges, and his criminal justice initiatives."  The endorsement earned swift condemnation from fellow Democrats in Georgia, who vowed retribution.  In the face of this criticism, Jones said he intended to resign and not seek reelection for Georgia House District 91 on Wednesday [4/22/2020].  He had a change of heart on Thursday.

The defining characteristic of the left:  Cruel intolerance.  Georgia state rep.  Vernon Jones, a Democrat, has just resigned from his office.  He said he is "leaving the plantation."  Why?  Because he expressed his support for President Trump.  He believed that Trump's policies have benefited blacks, including Trump's support for black colleges and prison reform.  He was even brave enough to express the truth that it is Joe Biden who has long supported racist policies.  What did he get for his courage and honesty?  Vicious harassment by his fellow Democrats.  So he has stepped down.  The left does not tolerate straying from the prescribed ideological position of the party; leftists are Maoist, Stalinist in every way.  Intolerance is their decree.  Deviate from the party line?  Expect personal destruction.

Trump-Backing Democrat Changes Course After Announcing Resignation.  On Wednesday [4/22/2020], Democrat State Rep. Vernon Jones of Georgia said he would be resigning from his post effective April 22 after allegedly receiving attacks and harassment from fellow Democrats for publicly endorsing President Donald Trump, a Republican, in his 2020 reelection bid.  However, by Thursday, Rep. Jones said that a swell of support made him change his tune, telling the public he will not be "bullied" into resignation by the Left.

Democrats plan to censure lawmaker who credited Trump for COVID-19 recovery.  Detroit Democrats plan to vote Saturday [4/25/2020] to censure and bar any future endorsements of a Democratic lawmaker who credited President Donald Trump with advocating for the drug that she said cured her of COVID-19.  State Rep. Karen Whitsett, D-Detroit, broke protocol by meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence during an April 14 meeting of COVID-19 survivors, during which she credited hydroxychloroquine for saving her life.

Harassed for endorsing Trump, Georgia Dem resigns in anger: 'Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation'.  A Democratic Georgia state lawmaker has many wondering if he is going to #WalkAway from his party after his abrupt decision to step down.  Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones announced Wednesday that he has "left the plantation" and would not be completing his term, making the surprising statement just more than a week after declaring that he was endorsing President Donald Trump.  "I'm sick and tired of me and my family being attacked and harassed by the Democrat Party for putting my country before my party," Jones said in a statement to CBS 46 in Atlanta.

Kanye West Goes All in for Trump:  I Won't be Told Who to Vote for Because of My Skin Color.  Rap icon and fashion mogul Kayne West told GQ magazine that he is "definitely voting" in November and intends to support President Donald Trump and urges black Americans to ignore the media's manipulative messaging.  During the wide-ranging interview published in the men's magazine on Wednesday, West explained his decision to support President Trump and don his red "Make America Great Again" cap.  GQ asked if the Grammy-winner considered himself a "forward thinker."

Democratic state lawmaker in Georgia endorses Trump reelection.  A Democratic state lawmaker from Georgia endorsed President Trump's reelection bid but does not plan to change political parties.  State Rep. Vernon Jones, 59, announced his support for the president on Tuesday, citing Trump's record on helping black people, military veterans, and farmers with his policies.  "It's very simple to me.  President Trump's handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges, and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign," Jones told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Georgia Democrats Vow Revenge On Lawmaker Who Endorsed Trump.  Georgia Democrats are targeting one of their own after state Rep. Vernon Jones endorsed President Donald Trump for reelection on Tuesday [4/14/2020]. Jones announced his pick for president in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, praising Trump's handling of the economy and issues impacting black Americans.  The black lawmaker represents one of the most Democratic districts in Georgia covering parts of DeKalb and Rockdale counties.  "It's very simple to me.  President Trump's handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign," Jones said.

Democrats will go broke betting on black.  When it comes to black voters, many of them know exactly where they stand with President Trump and Vice President Pence.  Despite laughable attempts by left-wing media to agitate black voters against the GOP, the truth is that black Americans have never fared so well as they have during the years of the Trump administration.  Over the past three years, the unemployment and poverty rates for African Americans hit all-time lows.  During the same period, Republican supporters of Trump's agenda passed the revolutionary Fist Step Act, which has reunited many black families after Clinton-era policies unfairly targeted and punished them with lengthy prison sentences for non-violent crimes.  And President Trump's championing of Opportunity Zones has sought to pour unprecedented wealth into many historically black neighborhoods.  What have black voters gotten from Democrats during that same time?  More of the tired pandering and insulting appeals to identity politics, which does little more than pay lip service to minority voters every four years.  Voters of color are beginning to awaken to the scam, and Democrats are noticing.

What Is a Mainstream Democrat?  [Scroll down]  The Democratic Party gave us Jim Crow laws and the KKK, not the GOP.  Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican.  Lester Maddox and Bull Connor were Democrats.  Historically speaking, the Democratic Party has obviously been a safe haven for racism, bigotry, and fomenters of divisions between Americans in an eternal quest for political power by any means necessary.  Conversely, Republicans have traditionally supported a strong but limited federal government.  Democrats wanted to secede from the Union that a bloody and expensive Civil War was fought to preserve.  So when exactly did this cosmic shift in attitudes toward race occur, exactly?  According to liberals, the correct answer to that question is 1964, when "Dixiecrat" Senator Strom Thurmond switched parties from Democrat to Republican, even though senator and former Exalted Cyclops of the KKK Robert "Sheets" Byrd remained a Democrat until his death in 2010.

Joe Biden owes Clarence Thomas an apology — and so does the entire left.  [I]t is far more accurate to call Hill a "disgraced accuser" than Clarence Thomas an "alleged sexual predator."  Not a single credible accuser — and Thomas had scores of subordinates working for him during his years in government — ever corroborated Hill's description of Thomas' actions.  Unlike Blasey Ford, whose nebulous and unverifiable accusations were decades old, Hill's allegations were a potential criminal matter.  So the FBI investigated Hill's claims — though they found her reluctant to cooperate — and failed to uncover sufficient evidence to substantiate the accusations.  After the hearings, agents sent affidavits to the Senate accusing Hill of misleading them and the public, skipping portions of her story and offering testimony that contradicted what she had told law-enforcement officials.  This part of the story rarely gets mentioned when the media recount her supposed heroics.

Black Voters on Democrat Racist Politicians:  Nothing to See Here!.  Recall former Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, who rose to a leadership position as a member of the Ku Klux Klan.  Byrd filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  That reality didn't stop former President Obama, who had said upon learning of Byrd's passing that the Senate "has lost a venerable institution and America has lost a voice of principle and reason."  Really?  Remember Georgia Representative John Lewis, who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King for civil rights?  Well, he said in the aftermath of Byrd's passing that he "will miss Senator Byrd; he was a true statesman."  Seriously?  Recall that former Republican Senator Trent Lott didn't get that pass when he spoke at a birthday party for former segregationist Senator Strom Thurman.  Lott said in a lighthearted and obvious clumsy way that the country would not have the problems it has had, if Thurman had been elected President.  Democrat's immediately rebuked Lott's statement, and they were unforgiving.  John Lewis responded he was shocked and chagrined, while Jesse Jackson called for Lott to resign, and Vice President Al Gore called for the Senate to censure Lott.  Yet, recall former segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace, who was accepted with open arms by the Democrat Party even though he stood in front of the University of Alabama saying, "Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."  Pathetic.

'Reexamining our history': Dems want to remove Roger Taney bust from Capitol.  House Democrats said Monday [3/9/2020] they will try to toss the bust of former Chief Justice Roger Taney from the collection in the U.S. Capitol, saying the Maryland jurist's role in writing the decision in the 1857 Dred Scott ruling makes him unfit for that honor.  The bust sits in the old Supreme Court chambers, now preserved for history, on the ground floor of the Capitol.  House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said he wants to replace it with one of the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black man to serve on the Supreme Court.

The Editor says...
 Mr. Taney was born into a wealthy, slave-owning family in Maryland *, and he was a Democrat.  Removing Taney's statue is the first step in a whitewash of his history.

Today's Great Black Dilemma.  I was proud recently when Marc Little, chairman of my organization, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, stood behind President Donald Trump at a White House event for Black History Month and prayed for him.  Then a parade of black liberals did their thing in the media to try to deflate and devalue this important event.  Their actions help us understand why so little progress has been made after more than half a century of civil rights activism.

Rod Blagojevich Explains Why He Is a 'Trumpocrat': Democrats Have 'Abandoned' American Workers, Black Voters.  Blagojevich said a number of policies his former party's leaders, from former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to former Vice President Joe Biden to even his home-state Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), have put forward have hurt African Americans and working class Americans economically and socially — and now that he is out of prison, and clear of the Democrat Party machine, he is speaking out against it all.  What's more, Blagojevich says the great irony of American politics is that Trump — a Republican — has done more to rectify these problems that Democrats created for black and working class Americans than any of America's other recent presidents, in large part because Trump has ditched the "traditional" GOP playbook to pursue a more solutions-oriented agenda.

'Black Americans Are Waking Up:' More African Americans Exiting Democratic Party in 'Blexit' Movement.  A recent poll found that 54 percent of African Americans believe the Democratic Party isn't paying enough attention to their needs.  It is an issue that is leading a growing number of blacks to rethink their choices at the ballot box.  For decades African Americans have been a key voting block for Democrats.  In 2016, 89 percent of black voters supported Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.  Now, a movement called Blexit, which means the exit of black Americans from the Democrat Party, is encouraging African Americans to abandon the status quo.

The Democrat debate looked like a mixed martial arts cage fight.  Most Americans don't care one bit about skin color; they care about character.  It is the leftists who endlessly strive to make race, class and gender the only things that matter about every individual and that is the purest definition of racism and bigotry there is.  There are no individuals, only members of a victim group.  The Left does not care about black people or poor people, they use them to gain power.  In the meantime, the rest of us live our lives day to day.  We interact with our friends and families who are of numerous and varying skin colors, gay, straight, liberal or conservative, for the most part without rancor.  It is the left that promotes division among us for all the usual reasons — it serves their quest for power.

Why Democrats Shouldn't Keep Taking Minority Voters For Granted.  The left's electoral calculation is, of course, as follows:  As the country turns majority brown and black, the Democratic Party will be electorally invincible because, you know, they have minority voters in the bag.  Per their calculation, brown native-born and foreign-born citizens especially will forever vote for Democrats because they represent the good party that looks out for minority voters, while the GOP is the evil, racist, white nationalist party.  In the short term, it looks like changing demographics benefit Democrats.  In recent years, traditionally red states such as Arizona, Texas, and Georgia have been turning purple due to an influx of minority voters.  But changing demographics won't necessarily work long-term for Democrats for many reasons.

What Really Makes Democrats and Republicans Different.  When I was in school, Wilson was portrayed as a lion of democratic progress, not only for the United States, but for the whole world.  He entered World War I to make the world safe for democracy.  Hadn't he issued the fourteen points?  What the books didn't tell us was that, before Wilson, the federal government had become one bright area where the official policy was to treat blacks equally.  Wilson — whose father was a Confederate army chaplain — did away with that.  Wilson was a virulent racist, even by the standards of his day. [...] Wilson resegregated the federal government and set back race relations 40 years.  That never got mentioned when I was in school.  In the history books that we were given, the Republican Party was condemned for opposing the internationalism and globalization of the League of Nations — one of Wilson's pet projects.  A century later, it is obvious that the Republicans were right.

What Left-Wing Educators Don't Teach During 'Black History Month'.  Apart from the bizarre notion that educators should set aside one month to salute the historical achievements of one race apart from and above the historical achievements of other races, Black History Month appears to omit a lot of black history. [...] Do our left-wing educators, during Black History Month, note that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's celebrated New Deal actually hurt blacks?  According to Cato Institute's Jim Powell, blacks lost as many as 500,000 jobs as a result of anti-competitive, job-killing regulations of the New Deal.

Bombshell Audio of Mike Bloomberg Talking About How All Murderers are Ethnic Minorities Goes Viral.  Audio of Mike Bloomberg's 2015 speech at the Aspen Institute has gone viral.  In his talk, the former New York Mayor who's now running for the Democrat presidential nomination, says that "you can just Xerox (copy)" the description of the murderers and their victims (male, minorities, ages 16-25) and hand it over to the cops.  As is always the case with Bloomberg, he had the video of the speech blocked.  Sadly for him, however, there are people who have the audio recording.  "95 percent of your murders — murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description, Xerox it and pass out to all the cops.  They are male, minorities, sixteen to twenty-five.  That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city," Bloomberg said.  "And that's where the real crime is," the man who's running for the nomination of the supposedly anti-racist Democrat party went on to say.

AOC to Blacks:  Get Back on the Plantation.  Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot stand it.  She wants blacks back on that liberal plantation — now. [...] In describing Rush [Limbaugh] as a "virulent racist," AOC is flaunting the typical left-wing insistence that all blacks must remain on the left-wing ideological plantation.  AOC is exactly the picture of the determined skin-color police who have taken unto themselves the right to dictate what African Americans can — and cannot — believe.  And in the case of Rush, who lampoons liberals of every skin color with decided equality, Ocasio-Cortez, who is not black, cannot accept that blacks are her equal.  Instead, she condescends to African Americans who, along with liberals of every skin color, are targets for Rush's pointed humor.

Van Jones Warns Democrats:  Trump Is Helping African-Americans 'In Real Life'.  CNN contributor Van Jones warned fellow panelists, and Democrats in general, on Tuesday evening that President Donald Trump was helping African-Americans "in real life" and reaching out to them for their vote in 2020.  Jones was reacting to the president's State of the Union address, in which the president mentioned several efforts to help African-Americans specifically.

Dem Women in White Sit While Trump Announces Lowest Minority Unemployment Numbers Ever.  Well, this is weird.  Not only are the Democrats sheathing themselves in their favorite historic color for intimidating folks at the State of the Union address, but they all refused to stand while President Trump announced the lowest unemployment numbers for black and Hispanic people in the history of the country.

Democrats Refuse To Applaud Young Black Girl Who Receives Scholarship.  Numerous Democrats appeared to not celebrate a fourth-grade black girl who received a scholarship on Tuesday night from President Donald Trump during the State of the Union Address. [...] Republican National Committee (RNC) Rapid Response Director Steve Guest noticed that many Democrats did not celebrate the touching moment.  "Another stunning but unsurprising moment from Democrats during the #SOTU," Guest said in a tweet.  "Democrats remain seated as President Trump awards an 'opportunity scholarship' to 4th grader."

Saying No to Black History Month.  Here we are again folks.  February, another Black History Month.  Progressives expect my fellow blacks and me to happily celebrate our month.  I will not.  BHM is nothing more than a political weapon for Democrats/progressives to spread racial hate and further their lie that America is the greatest source of evil on the planet.  Most American blacks do not realize that many original civil rights black freedom fighters who stood beside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr sold their souls to the dark side after Dr. King died.  They joined the white Democrat/progressive movement, metaphorically receiving 30 pieces of silver.  The agenda of the dark side is anti-Christian and anti-American.  Black civil rights activists like Jesse Jackson abandoned Dr. King's divinely inspired mission for blacks to be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.  Instead, the post-MLK black civil rights movement became all about skin-color, exploiting it in every way.

Climate policies harm black and brown communities.  Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren at the most recent candidates' debate in Iowa repeated the canard that climate change "particularly hits black and brown communities."  On this Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, it should be alerted that it is climate change policies promoted by her and fellow alarmists that would particularly hit black and brown communities by raising their cost of living and eliminating many of their jobs. [...] The laws of mathematics are simple:  poor people have less disposable income than wealthy people to absorb inexorable higher energy costs resulting from climate policies.  For people living in poverty this will exacerbate their condition, especially for black and brown Americans since greater percentages of them already are poor.  Then there is the baleful effect of climate policies on jobs, particularly in fossil fuel and related manufacturing and transportation industries, which are heavily cost-sensitive to energy.

Joe Biden Lectures Black Voter, Pokes Him in the Chest, For Asking Questions.  Joe Biden this week in Iowa lectured a black voter who dared to ask him questions about his plans to phase out US fossil fuels.  Biden poked the black voter's chest several times as he lectured him about his record.  "Go back to 1986.  I'm the first one ever to, first one ever to put forward a climate change bill and Politifact said it was a game changer," Biden said poking the man's chest.  "I've been working my whole life," he added as he abruptly walked away.

New polls could spell doomsday for Dems as black voter approval of Trump doubles, race relations improve.  A new poll indicates that support for President Trump among black voters in America has doubled in the past year.  Despite Democrats' attempts to label Trump as a racist for the last three years, a new Rasmussen poll reported that black support among likely voters has doubled to 42% from 21% last year.  The liberal media narrative continues to counter Trump's support among black voters but the latest poll numbers show a different story, as the president has touted how his economy has benefited black Americans with unemployment rates at record lows, an improved economy, prison reform, and urban renewal programs.

Patrick Mahomes vs The Gospel of Trayvon.  "The Gospel of Trayvon" is the fiction into which black Americans have been indoctrinated for almost eight years.  The Gospel maintains that across America there are armed white men in the streets, cops especially, eager to shoot unarmed black people at the slightest suspicion and for no reason other than their dark skin tones.  In addition, The Gospel maintains that America is hopelessly racist, and that its people, government and institutions are racist as well.  If you are African American, you are expected to accept The Gospel of Trayvon as unquestioned fact, to protest when called upon, and above all, to get out and vote for your protectors in the Democratic Party.  Heretics, take note.  If you challenge The Gospel you can expect reprisal.

Race relations and 'position' of minorities better under Trump than Obama.  Satisfaction with race relations in the United States has jumped under President Trump, the latest indication that the Republican is making significant inroads with blacks and other minorities in advance of the 2020 presidential election.  New details from a Gallup survey on satisfaction said race relations and the "position" of minorities under Trump are far higher than they were under President Barack Obama, the nation's first black president.

'American Dirt' Is Proof the Publishing Industry Is Broken.  [Scroll down]  The boxes arrived on Jan. 17.  Upon opening them, Ms. Horan said, her "heart sank," and she immediately recoiled at this "deliberate assumption that libraries on the border, who were selected to receive the books, would be automatic endorsers, given the subject matter."  She sent the unboxing video off, and after two agonizing days consulting with her predominantly Latinx staff and others, she decided to send the books back, and politely declined to participate in the pilot program.  What Ms. Horan did is a rare thing to see from a person in power within the literary world — a world where it's much more likely that the gatekeepers and institutional systems in place will fashion books out of fraught manuscripts simply because they are practically guaranteed to stir up buzz.

Bloomberg's Plan For Black Americans Doubles Down On The Left's Failures.  Perhaps for the first time in many years, politicians are directly competing for black votes.  This goes hand-in-hand with signs that black America is no longer monolithically supporting Democrats.  For example, President Donald Trump's approval rating among black Americans is in the mid-30s.  Enter Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg, who just launched his new plan for black America, the Greenwood Initiative, named after a site of both incredible black achievement and pain.  Bloomberg, speaking to a mostly white audience of only several hundred in Tulsa, Oklahoma, unveiled his plan's three points.  The plan is a perfect example of the failure of center-left policy concoctions meant to help black Americans, invariably cooked up by rich liberals.

Biden Throws Blacks Another Racist Dog Biscuit.  As usual, fake news media ignored a Democrat irresponsibly throwing a racial-hate-generating grenade into a crowd of blacks.  On MLK day 2020, Joe Biden referred to Trump as "this president and his Ku Klux Klan..."  This is extremely evil when you understand that Biden knows his accusation is absurd and easily proven false.  Biden thought he was simply throwing the dumb black congregation a vote-winning racist dog biscuit.  As a black and grateful proud American, it turns my stomach the way Democrats repeatedly pander to us, pretending race relations in America have not progressed beyond the 1950s.  Irresponsibly, Hollywood, public education and fake news media join Democrats in selling black America their absurd lie that America is a hellhole of racism, overrun with white supremacists and KKK members.  It is all a huge scheme to keep blacks believing they are victims, voting for Democrats to keep rabid racist white America at bay.

Black Americans are coming home to the GOP.  What do Kay Coles James, Ben Carson, Star Parker, Candace Owens, Ken Blackwell, Diamond and Silk, and Alveda King have in common?  They are bold, compassionate leaders who believe that every person is created equal by God himself.  They understand that every human life has infinite value and limitless potential.  They have suffered from some sort of discrimination — but are not bitter.  Instead, they seek reconciliation, believe in redemption, and work to advance a more just society.  They know that hard work, economic freedom, the preservation of the traditional family, and reducing government control are the keys to success.  And they are black Americans who support the policies of President Trump.

The Decline and Fall of the Black American Church.  In the modern era, beginning with Lyndon Johnson, black voters were [...] wooed with the false promises of the Great Society.  As a result, it was next the Democratic Party that got a lock on black votes — but with that came a required commitment to the party's entire agenda.  This was so, no matter how far that agenda transgressed the limits of traditional Christian morality and faith.  Thereafter, by a wide margin, modern black voters (more than 90% in most cases) found themselves backing abortion, gay rights, the removal of religion from public life, and massive welfare programs that resulted in the destruction of the black family. [...] But the churches did not blink at embracing Farrakhan, sexual confusion, and smearing Jews, even within the walls of the church itself (as during the Duke lacrosse case).  What became paramount was solidarity with the brotherhood of the aggrieved, right or wrong.  Pastors will bestir themselves for many causes in the inner cities, but their children roam the streets, lost.

Jill Biden Hands Out Christmas Gifts at Mexico Border Camp.  Former second lady Dr. Jill Biden, whose husband, former vice president Joe Biden, is running for the 2020 Democrat nomination, handed out tamales and Christmas gifts to migrants in Mexico as part of a visit with local leaders on Sunday [12/22/2019].  Biden toured a migrant camp across the border from Brownsville, Texas, home to over 2,000 asylum-seekers.

The Editor says...
 Handing out tamales?  Isn't that presumptuously racist?  Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give each one a slice of pizza or a Big Mac?

Black voter support for Trump at 'highest levels' and could seal 2020 win.  A growing number of polls show that President Trump is gaining the support of black voters above what any Republican president has ever received.  Both Emerson Polling and Rasmussen Reports have it at about 34%, a stunning number.  And a new Zogby Analytics survey found that African American support is at the "highest levels of the year," driven by a strong economy, historically low black unemployment, and Trump's agenda to support minority small businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and passage of criminal justice reform.  "Not surprisingly, all African Americans do not hate Trump!" pollster Jonathan Zogby said in sharing his data with us.

Biden claims he marched to protest segregation.  Where's the proof?  Biden, who prides himself on his relationship with black voters, clearly benefits from his eight years of service to the popular Barack Obama.  But do most blacks know that for decades Biden has bragged about "marching" and "protesting" to fight to "desegregate movie theaters and things like that" — and that there is zero evidence of any of this?

Democrats' Diversity — Only in the Back of the Bus.  The "Our diversity is our strength!" Party is starting to look rather monochromatic in its upper echelons these days.  The four leading candidates for its presidential nomination — Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg — are all white.  The six candidates who have qualified for the Dec. 19 debate — the front four, plus Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer — are all white.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer are both white, as are Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Whip Dick Durbin.  The chairs of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees managing impeachment, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, are both white.  And as Congressman Al Green railed Wednesday, all three experts Nadler invited to make the Democrats' case for impeachment were white law professors.

Demographics and the American Prospect.  In the summer of 2018, journalist Vivian Yee amused herself with the thought that Orange Country, California, was once an agricultural, "conservative (think Richard Nixon and the John Birch Society) and white (very, very white)," slice of America.  But "Chinese and Korean immigrants, and Asian-Americans from other states," she wrote on the eve of the midterm election, "have made Irvine nearly half Asian."  Asians, Yee noted, are reliably liberal on gun control, climate change, and public spending.

On school choice, Democrats are the hypocrites.  Ask most Democrats, and they will claim that it is their party that represents marginalized Americans, and specifically lower income black and Hispanic voters.  This makes the Democratic Party's near abandonment of charter schools, and the mostly minority voters who need them, one of the most politically perplexing shifts in recent memory.

African Americans Aren't The Only People Democrats Want To Disarm.  In the post-bellum South, Democrats prohibited blacks from possessing guns outright or imposed gun prohibitions selectively enforced against blacks, leaving them vulnerable to the Democrats' Ku Klux Klan.  In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court noted that "Blacks were routinely disarmed by Southern States after the Civil War."  In U.S. v. Cruikshank (1876), the court considered the convictions of white Democrats who had participated in the disarming and cold-blooded murder of at least 60 black Republicans in the infamous Colfax Massacre in Grant Parish, Louisiana.  In 1911 in New York, Democrats began requiring a selectively granted license to own a handgun, so the police could deny handguns to Italian immigrants in New York City.

Black Voters Pulling Away from Democrat Party on Abortion, Education.  A new announcement from the predominantly black and largest Pentecostal church in the United States and school choice polling data show black voters pulling away from the Democrat Party on two dominant issues in the 2020 elections:  abortion and education.  Breitbart News reported last week that two recent polls demonstrate 34 percent of black likely voters approve of President Donald Trump's presidency.

Justice Clarence Thomas Hurls His Gavel At Liberals, Compares Them To The Klan.  Justice Clarence Thomas remains a controversial figure.  H was confirmed with one of the slimmest margins in history, whose confirmation battle devolved into a nasty fight when Anita Hill lobbed sexual misconduct allegations at him.  Justice Brett Kavanaugh would face the same dirty Democratic tricks.  The GOP blessedly held firm for this eminently qualified man who was the subject to the nastiest character assassination attempt since Thomas.  Kavanaugh's confirmation was extra sweet in that Republicans had long last avenged the failed nomination of Robert Bork.  And in today's politics, no matter what the Democrats say, your default position should be to be against it.  They're stupid, lazy, and corrupt — just like their allies in the media.  If you can't beat them, then weaponize sexual assault allegations.  It was tough, but the GOP held firm and confirmed both of these excellent jurists to the bench.  It's supreme revenge.  And both men will likely remain angry over their treatment before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Who Are The Racists?  Former presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said that racism in America is "foundational" and that people of color were under "mortal threat" from the "white supremacist in the White House."  Pete Buttigieg chimed in to explain that "systemic racism" will "be with us" no matter who is in the White House.  Senator Cory Booker called for "attacking systemic racism" in the "racially biased" criminal justice system.  Let's follow up by examining Booker's concern about a "racially biased" criminal justice system.  To do that, we can turn to a recent article by Heather Mac Donald, who is a senior fellow at the New York-based Manhattan Institute.

The Inevitable Breakup of the American Left.  After eight years of Barack Obama, the liberal elites viewed the ultimate objective of assuming near permanent governmental power as being inevitable and within reach.  Thus, their condescension now extends beyond the African American community to the Hispanic populace, and their overt disdain for vast swaths of citizens routinely described as "deplorable," "benighted," and "uncouth" is no longer hidden.  However, their erstwhile allies, the socialist radicals, viewed the eight years of Barack Obama as the prelude to their ultimate objective of permanently transforming America being inevitable and within reach.

Clarence Thomas Says 'The Modern-Day Liberal' Tried To Stop His Career.  Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas doesn't blame white supremacists for trying to derail his career — he points his finger at "the modern-day liberal," a group that includes former Vice President Joe Biden.  Thomas expounds on this theme in the upcoming documentary, "Created Equal:  Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," a copy of which was obtained by ABC News Thursday.  He spends a lot of time talking about his still controversial confirmation to the Supreme Court by the Senate Judiciary Committee — whose chairman at the time was Democratic Delaware Sen. Biden.

Why Michelle Obama may jump into the race.  To have any chance nationally, the Democrats do not just need minority support, their candidate must overwhelmingly capture the black and Hispanic vote.  None of the leading Democrat candidates is up to that task — not the homosexual from South Bend, not the Fake Indian from Massachusetts, and not Crazy Bernie.

Who are the real racists?  Black people cannot afford to buy into the white liberal agenda.  White liberals don't pay the same price.  They don't live in neighborhoods where their children can get shot simply sitting on their porches.  White liberals don't go to bed with the sounds of gunshots.  White liberals don't live in neighborhoods that have become economic wastelands.  Their children don't attend violent schools where they have to enter through metal detectors.  White liberals help the Democratic Party maintain political control over cities, where many black residents live in despair, such as Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago.

President Trump Scoring with Black Voters, and Dems Are Terrified.  Ana Navarro-Cardenas managed to produce one of the most offensive tweets of the year in response to the news that multiple polls show black job approval of President Donald Trump now at 34%.  She tweeted, "Zero chance this is accurate.  Zero.  The poll must have only been conducted in the homes of Ben Carson, Kanye, that sheriff guy with the hat and those two Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex ladies."  You can almost smell the fear oozing from her keystrokes, competing with the hate that was already there.  This is so blatantly racist that only a liberal could have spouted it.

CNN Mouthpiece and Unhinged Democrat Ana Navarro Targets Diamond and Silk in Racist Tweet.  It's a good thing she's a Democrat!  CNN far left analyst Anna Navarro, who plays a Republican on CNN, attacked several top black conservatives in a tweet on Monday [11/25/2019].  Navarro posted her rebuttal to two recent polls that show 34% of black voters supporting President Trump.  Navarro thought the best way to respond to the polls was to post something racist.

W. Kamau Bell Says Buttigieg Would Get 'Less Than 0% of the Black Vote' In Backlash to Newly Resurfaced Video.  CNN host W. Kamau Bell was among those who torched South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg over a resurfaced video from 2011 in which Buttigieg holds forth on the perceived value of education among "kids" from "lower income and minority neighborhoods."

Blacks and Hispanics flee from Democrats on impeachment.  Black and Hispanic voters have been courted assiduously by the Trump administration on things that really matter to them.  President Trump has addressed the long-festering problems of the blue cities, such as disproportionate sentencings of petty criminals by solidly Democrat judges and prosecutors (I'm thinking of you, Kamala), and the dilapidated state of America's one-party blue cities, along with the high housing costs that have driven many black voters into the hinterlands, where they are then abused for their fossil fuel use simply to get to their jobs.  Trump has stood up for charter schools, and cripes, just good schools, which Democrat blue cities in the sway of teacher unions absolutely refuse to deliver.

Biden's senior Latina adviser quits in frustration.  A senior Joe Biden campaign staffer in charge of outreach to Latino, African-American and women's groups has quit her post, telling two allies she was frustrated over her lack of input and with the presidential candidate's immigration rhetoric.  Vanessa Cárdenas, the most senior Latina Biden staffer, had been serving as national coalitions director since the campaign formally announced its existence April 25.

That crackling sound before the avalanche:  Blue-city safe-seat Democrat defects on impeachment.  This could be the start of an avalanche of defections for Democrats.  Impeachment is going to lose, even if it passes in the House.  Who wants to be a loser if it can be avoided?  These Democrats are getting out before the whole thing takes them down as losers, too.  If this is the logic, then this is going to turn into an avalanche.

CNN's Ana Navarro refuses to believe 2 polls showing 34% of blacks approve of President Trump.  Yesterday's [11/25/2019] news that two different respected polls are showing 34% of African-Americans approving of President Trump is such bad news for Trump-haters that some refuse to believe it.  Among those who presume to speak for African Americans is "proud Nicaraguan-AMERICAN" Ana Navarro, a CNN contributor who is nominally a Republican (she supported Jeb! in 2016), but who announced that she voted for Democrats for president and governor of Florida because of her hatred for President Trump.

Black Trump Supporter Explains How Dems Continually Prey on Women of Color to Push Abortion.  A panel of African American voters sat down with Fox News' Martha MacCallum to talk about the issues that are most important to them as we head into the 2020 election.  One of the issues that came up was abortion and how Democrats target the black community.  "My biggest issue with the current Democratic candidates as it comes to the black community is that all of them are pushing for poor women of color to have access to abortion.  That's all that you hear," panelist Angela Stanton King explained.  "Since abortion Roe v Wade has been passed, 46 percent of the black population has been aborted.  To me, personally, you don't have my best interests in mind if the only thing you are offering me is access to abortion to kill my child before it has the chance to live, and then also free welfare.  Black people have been voting Democrat for the past 60 years and it has done absolutely nothing for us but kept us stagnant, on welfare and now here we are, 46 percent of the black vote — I mean, the black people, the black population had been aborted."

The Democrats:  Identity Politics above All.  The Democrats are totally and absolutely a party focused solely on identity politics and a party not at all concerned with the greater, general good of the country.  Their electoral strategy is based on identifying specific groups of voters to whom they can assign victimhood status and then promise a taxpayer-funded government program to alleviate their suffering and correct the wrongs perpetrated against them.  Implicit in the Democrats' argument is the common theme that these so-called transgressions are the result of biased, intentional wrongdoing by white conservative Republicans, whose prejudices, shortsightedness, and mean-spirited nature are aimed at those groups, with the intention of maintaining (or regaining, in some instances) political control of the country by a white heterosexual male cohort of European decent.

Two (!) polls find black approval of Trump at 34%.  One poll could be an outlier, but when two resected polls find the same outcome, it's time to realize that, most likely, something serious is going on.  Rasmussen, whose own daily tracking poll revealed that 34% of black likely voters support President Trump, was initially cautious about interpreting that result, [...]

The Democratic Cold War on Christianity [is] Heating Up.  Black and Hispanic Democrats tend to be far more religious than the white Democrats who are driving the party's agenda.  Will this alliance hold as the party increasingly kowtows to vocal anti-Christian Marxists?  Will these voters start to defect as Democrats intensify their open war on people of faith?  These questions arose this week when the sad story emerged that Chick-fil-A would no longer support three mainstream Christian-based charities; the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home, all under the auspices that they are anti-LGBTQ.

Watch: Kamala Harris Puts On Southern-Fried Accent for Single Debate Question.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who was born in Oakland, California, and grew up in Berkeley, broke into her campaign-trail southern accent for just one question during Wednesday's 2020 Democrat presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia.  The odd moment occurred as Harris, who is polling in single digits nationally, explained how she would unite the "Obama coalition" to win the White House.

Why Trump is the Black Voters' Clear Choice in 2020.  From as far back as I can remember, Democrats have deceived blacks by drilling the lie into their heads that they are victims of eternally racist America.  Insidiously, Democrats continue to sell blacks the lie that America is a hellhole of racism in which Republicans and conservatives are obsessed with conceiving ways to keep blacks down.  Consequently, far too many blacks absurdly believe a majority of Americans (Trump voters) are white supremacists and their only hope of keeping them at bay is to continue voting for Democrats. [...] Blacks today do not know that the Democratic party has become the home of socialists, communists, progressives, and anti-Americanism.  All Democrats care about is furthering their anti-God agenda.  The folks they claim to advocate for (minorities, women and LGBTQ) are nothing more than useful idiots.  Democrats want blacks hating their country.  This is why Democrats say all black success is despite America's rabid racism.

More black Americans should support Trump — He's done more for us than Democrats have.  President Trump launched an initiative called Black Voices for Trump with a speech in Atlanta Friday to recruit and engage the black community.  I am proud to be one of the founding members of the group.  "The Democrats have let you down," the president said to the hundreds of people in attendance.  "They've dismissed you.  They've hurt you.  They've sabotaged you for far too long."  Our coalition of black conservative leaders discussed the unique challenges faced by the black community with the president.  Urban areas with large black populations have suffered from historically high levels of unemployment, poverty, and dependency.

Harriet Blows Away Democratic Racial Myths.  It is Democrats who owned the slaves, founded the KKK, and wrote the Jim Crow laws.  It is Democrats who stood in the schoolhouse door and still do, opposing school choice.  It is Democrats who turned on the fire hoses and unleashed the dogs.  It was Democrats who blocked the bridge in Selma.  A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats The improvement of black lives under Trump and a free market economy is no mirage but a portent of things to come that has the Democratic Party running scared.

Candace Owens' Blexit movement is Democrats' worst nightmare.  The dirty little secret about wokeness is its lack of diversity.  It's a movement entirely comprising of white, college-educated progressives.  Therein lies the problem for the Democratic Party as it lurches left.  It has wedged itself between the demands of an aggressively woke left flank and the more socially conservative, more religious black community.  Since the party needs 85 percent of the black vote to win power, that's a problem with lethal political consequences.  Which is why Democrats are nervous about President Trump's embryonic popularity with African Americans, after he won just 8 percent of the black vote in 2016.

Univision Stumps DNC's Tom Perez:  How Can Dems Compete with Trump's Record-Low Hispanic Unemployment?  The chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) tried to change the subject when he was asked on Spanish-language TV about Latino gains in President Donald Trump's economy.  The host, Patricia Janiot, said, "Mr. Perez, President Trump has achieved something important, especially for Latinos, which is to reduce the unemployment rate to historic lows.  How then can the Democrats compete with a president that has been beneficial to Latinos on economic matters?"

James Clyburn: 'No Question' Buttigieg's Gayness Is 'An Issue' For Older Black Voters.  House Majority Whip James Clyburn said there is "no question" that South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg's sexual orientation is "an issue" for older black voters in South Carolina.  During a Sunday morning [11/3/2019] appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the South Carolina Democratic congressman was asked by guest host Dana Bash about whether Buttigieg's failure to gain traction in the state, despite polling well in other places, has anything to do with the fact that he is gay.  "Well, that's a generational issue," Clyburn responded.  "I know of a lot of people my age who feel that way."

We're Stuck in the Middle of a Grand Illusion.  And here is another serious question.  In three years, the Trump administration has literally, factually — no matter how you slice it — done more for the African-American population of this country than the Democrat Party has in 50 years.  Yet 90% of African-Americans are going to vote for the Democrat in 2020.  How does that square?  And it's not just 2½ years, three years of Trump.  Fifty years of empty promises, 50 years of the Democrat Party promising this, to fix that, to end racism, to end discrimination, to let the incarcerated unfairly out of jail.  The Democrats have failed miserably to improve life and circumstances for African-Americans, and yet they still vote for Democrats.

Who's Putting Who in Chains?  [Scroll down]  Given that Republicans freed American blacks from the slavery imposed by Democrats, the idea of the GOP somehow putting them back in chains is stupefyingly ignorant.  This ignorance is exceeded only by the preposterousness of thinking that cutting the size and power of the federal government equals slavery when in fact, it is precisely the opposite that is true.  President Donald Trump has been gradually unchaining Americans, especially blacks, from the slavery of big government, excessive regulation, high taxes, bad economic policy and a prejudicial criminal justice system.  Black unemployment is the lowest in recorded American history.  More people are working than ever in the history of the republic.  More than a million children have been lifted from the chains of poverty and never have so many black men been given a chance for release from an unfair criminal justice system.

Kanye West:  Democrats Spent Years Pushing Abortion and Welfare on Black Americans.  Rap superstar Kanye West slammed the Democratic Party for pushing abortion and dependence on welfare on black Americans, explaining that many people have become "brainwashed" by the party's destructive ideas.  In a wide-ranging interview with radio host Big Boy to promote his album "Jesus Is King," West opened up about his disdain for Democratic Party policies imposed on black people over decades.

Black Republican Leader:  Trump Is Proof Republicans Aren't Racist.  Early this month, a group of black Republicans in California founded the Legacy Republican Alliance (LRA), an organization dedicated to welcoming black people into the ranks of the Republican Party.  In an interview with PJ Media, LRA President Corrin Rankin said President Donald Trump is proof that Republicans are not racist and that Republican policies help black people, while Democratic policies harm them.  "In black communities, the word 'Republican' is synonymous with racism," Rankin noted.  During the administration of President George W. Bush, "I was a Democrat and I hated George Bush because he was a racist.  That's what I was told.  It's just this repetitious cycle."  "I believe that this time, black people are starting to break out of that.  I personally support this president.  I think that President Trump is breaking this cycle," she told PJ Media.  "In terms of calling this president a racist, I would say his actions speak louder than their words."

Kanye West claims Democrats have 'brainwashed black Americans and 'make them abort their children'.  Kanye West claims black Americans have been 'brainwashed' into voting for the Democratic Party despite the fact the party promotes policies that are harmful to them. [...] When asked about his support for President Donald Trump, West explained that he doesn't believe it is smart for black Americans to bloc vote for Democrats, claiming: 'You are quite easily controlled if they know everybody gonna be blue [Democrat].  If you go to a white [person] bar, you gonna hear people talking Independent, you gonna hear people talking Democrat, you gonna hear people talking Republican'.  In the 2016 Presidential Election, 88 percent of black Americans voted Democrat, while only 8 percent of that same demographic voted Republican.

Black accent?  Joe Biden goes Hillary Clinton one better and claims he went to black college.  Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden is taking pandering to new heights, all in pursuit of black votes.  Instead of just slapping on a black accent like a set of false teeth, the way Hillary Clinton did last week for a significantly black audience, Biden decided to claim he actually went to a historically black college, which he didn't.

Thomas: 'Different Sets of Rules' for Criticizing Black Conservatives.  During an excerpt from "Created Equal:  Clarence Thomas In His Own Words," Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas stated that there is a double standard where black conservatives can be attacked in any manner and it's accepted "Because you're not really black.  Because you're not doing what we expect black people to do."

Hillary Clinton puts on her best black accent and goes to Elijah Cummings's funeral.  Some people put on their best black garments for the funeral of someone considered, by his friends at least, to be an honored dignitary.  Hillary Clinton's a little different.  She put on her best black accent — and uses it to spew bile.  [Video clip]  She not only pretended to be black, pandering to presumably the black people in the audience, she bizarrely cited obscure Bible passages as if she'd been going to Bible studies for years as many black church-goers do, and threw out some not-disguised digs at President Trump, the perfect means of Wellstoning the funeral.  The specter is revolting.

Soledad O'Brien mocks black Trump supporters, gets brutally mocked.  The idea that more and more black Americans are joining with conservative leaders in support of President Donald Trump leaves the left in a conundrum.  Do they subject these African-Americans to the prescribed Alinsky tactic of ridicule, running the risk of being held to the same impossible standard they hold the right to in being tagged racist for their criticism?  Which is where liberal minorities like Soledad O'Brien come into play, although she saw the tables quickly turned on her over the weekend in the unpredictable world of social media.

The 2020 black vote:  Warren searches; Trump surges.  Elizabeth Warren may be rising in the polls, but she still faces one major uphill battle in earning the presidential nomination from the Democrat Party:  earning the support of black voters.  And after The New York Times ran a surprising piece on Warren's recent struggles to connect with black voters — the outlook did not appear any brighter for the Massachusetts senator.

Why Liberals and Progressives Lie to Blacks.  The obvious is that they are fishing for votes.  Warren has a putative weakness with African American voters.  Tom Steyer is unknown to them (as he is to a lot of people). Harris is sinking fast and needs to shore up her rep and Julián Castro's campaign has barely been registering enough to keep him on the debate stage. [...] But beneath this are more disturbing beliefs, one of which is on the edge of disgusting and actually racist: that African Americans prefer to be lied to than told the truth.  The corollary to this is that they are easily lied to if you stir them up.  The level of disrespect in this is off the charts.  Also at play here, as it is everywhere in Democratic precincts, is Fear of Trump.  African Americans are doing better under Trump than they ever have been in this country with unemployment at record lows and salaries up.

Candace Owens:  Democrat Policies Are More Threatening To Black America Than White Supremacy.  Blexit founder Candace Owens testified before the House Oversight Joint Subcommittee Hearing on Confronting White Supremacy on Friday [9/20/2019], where she stated that while white supremacy and racism exist, there are bigger threats to black Americans today, which Democrats have not only ignored but have also created.

White Liberals Lecture Candace Owen On White Supremacy.  She Leaves Them In Tatters.  On Wednesday, Candace Owens appeared at a hearing before House Oversight Joint Subcommittee as they took on the subject of white supremacy, and after white witnesses lambasted her Owens absolutely eviscerated not only them but Democrats for making every presidential election about race.  She fired, "I've been black in America my whole life, all 30 years, and I can tell you that you guys have done the exact same thing every four years we have an election cycle and it needs to stop."

Antifa Calls A Black Man Who Has De-Radicalized KKK Members A White Supremacist.  Daryl Davis was a speaker at an "Ending Racism" event organized by MINDS, which was part of a series "intended to create dialogue and promote viewpoint diversity."  Davis, a musician, is a race relations expert who has spent years speaking to and rehabilitating members of groups like the KKK.  About 40 Antifa members showed up to protest "Ending Racism," which was moved from a New Jersey theater to a center in Pennsylvania because Antifa threatened to burn down the theater, Davis told the Daily Caller News Foundation.  Some Antifa members called Davis, who is black, a white supremacist for attending the event.  "I laughed, I thought it was funny," Davis told the DCNF.

Donald Trump says NBC should fire Debra Messing for calling his black supporters 'mentally ill'.  Donald Trump ratcheted up an attack on 'Will & Grace' actress Debra Messing on Thursday, calling for NBC to fire from the program over her suggestion that Hollywood liberals blacklist wealthy donors of the Republican president.  She also suggested that black supporters of the president are mentally ill.  She since since apologized on Twitter for the 'reckless' action while maintaining that Trump is targeting minorities.

When will big city Democrats stop enabling illegal immigration?  The phenomena the President described are very real — the poor, mostly black residents of many Baltimore neighborhoods have been forced to put up with levels of violence and squalor that would turn the stomachs of white, liberal suburbanites.  Instead of facing that reality and demanding change, those left wing suburbanites just ignore it.  It's not just Baltimore.  The irony of today's Democrats is that they espouse values claiming to care for minority communities, but in reality the low-income communities they represent are mostly populated by minorities who have had their economic interests betrayed at every turn by the Democratic Party's dedication to fighting for open border policies.  Study after study has shown that native-born black men are the group that suffers most from mass, low-skilled immigration.

Minorities: The Forgotten Democrat Voters.  In business and in politics, you can never take your customers and voters for granted.  Next year, we're going to find out what strides we've made in signing disaffected political free agents to our Republican Party and President Trump re-election team, including historically reliable Democrat voting blocs such as blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Millennials, and Generation Zers.  Will micro-movements such as Blexit and Jexit make a positive electoral impact?  It is not unrealistic that President Trump's campaign may raise over $1 billion for 2020; these are funds that can be used for unprecedented voter outreach in purple districts and big cities located in purple states.  I'm confident that there are tens of thousands, and potentially hundreds of thousands, of Americans disillusioned with the Democratic Party.  Let's welcome them to the America First family of voters.  Unlike the Democrats, we don't seek to take their children, take their money, and take their freedoms, and we won't take them for granted.

25 0f 30 Worst Congressional Districts For Blacks Are Run By Democrats — Ilhan Omar's Is #1 On List.  Today [8/21/2019], it was revealed that Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings' district came in at #22 on the list of the top 30 worst congressional districts for Black Americans.  Democrat presidential candidate Tim Ryan's OH district came in at #23.  But the lawmaker whose district won the top honor for the WORST district in America for Blacks is none other than the anti-Semitic, Somalian immigrant, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).  Over 37% of Blacks are unemployed who live in Omar's 5th Congressional District, and less than 20% of Blacks in her district own a home.

Dem Rep. Tom Malinowski:  We need illegal immigrants to 'mow our beautiful lawns'.  Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., defended the presence of both legal and illegal immigrants on Tuesday [8/20/2019], asking his constituents:  "Who do you think is mowing our beautiful lawns?"  "There are a lot of jobs in our community, that like it or not, for better or for worse, Americans are not willing to take," Malinowski said in a video obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The Editor says...
 Americans aren't willing to work because it's far easier to live on welfare benefits.

The Left's Madcap Social Engineering.  Today's Democratic candidates for the 2020 Presidential election are pushing all types of social engineering:  Medicare for all, basic income, affordable housing, reparations, and climate change.  But control is the central motivation behind the Progressive Wizard's curtain.  Two other powerful examples of social engineering are affirmative action and victimization.  These two are the gateway to all other forms of social engineering.  They are based on an assumption that minorities, particularly black Americans, are forever discriminated against, and are and will forever be victims of said discrimination.

Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Workers Most.  Basically, illegal migrants generally work low-wage jobs — the very jobs black Americans tend to work.  Likewise, both aliens and blacks tend to reside in major cities.  Taken together, this means that migrants and black Americans compete directly for the same jobs, which reduces wages and employment opportunities.  Unfortunately, black Americans fare worse in this head-to-head struggle because illegal aliens often work under-the-table for less than minimum wage and forgo expensive employer-provided healthcare plans.  They undercut the labor-market's mandated floor and pull the rug out from under American workers.

Candace Owens:  White Supremacy Isn't What's Harming Black America - 'It's Liberal Supremacy'.  Candace Owens, founder of the Blexit movement, told Fox News on Thursday [8/8/2019] that white supremacy isn't what's harming black America, it's "liberal supremacy."  "The purpose for this is to distract black Americans from the fact that Democrat policies are actually harming the inner cities.  They don't want to talk about the illiteracy rates.  They don't want to talk about what's actually harming black America, because let me tell you, it's not white supremacy.  It's liberal supremacy," Owens said during an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle."

Soledad O'Brien insults black people who support Trump.  Apparently, you can't go to a Trump rally while black without getting insulted by leftists.  Washed up actress Bette Midler was the last one we heard from on it, calling black people at Trump rallies "blackground" and that was just a week ago.  Now, fourth-rate talking head Soledad O'Brien has picked up the torch to throw out another insult to black people: [...] In O'Brien's view, black people are incapable of "thinking for themselves," as Candace Owens puts it, which draws many to support President Trump.  She's completely convinced that if you're black, you must hate Trump.

The Voters Do Deserve to be Neglected.  One hears pundits on the Republican conservative side of the discussion bewailing the misfortunes of the people of Baltimore in Elijah Cummings's rat-infested district.  They say, "The people of Baltimore deserve better.  The American People deserve better."  No, they don't.  They deserve exactly what they have.  They deserve their rats and their crime rate.  America still is, for now, a republic that operates on democratic principles of voting.  The people of Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Memphis, and St. Louis all have elected one Democrat after another to lead them.  St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since 1949.  Detroit since 1962.  Chicago since 1931.  Baltimore since 1967.  When people in a two-party country continue for more than half a century, without interruption, electing candidates from the same party to lead them, even as their once-great cities fade into rat-infested murder centers, then those voters do indeed deserve exactly, precisely what they have.  They do not deserve a whit better than they have chosen for themselves.

Yelling 'racist' won't clean up our cities.  Even the most passive-aggressive liberal knows that screaming epithets at white people won't produce positive change in our cities.  The fact that liberals default to this accusation implies two motives.  [#1] Liberals have no solutions to offer on the subject of rat and criminal infestations in our major cities.  [#2] Liberals like things the way they are and see no problem in chaining minority populations to third-world conditions.  That's the long and short of it.

What's Most Important?  Let's think about priorities.  Say that you live in one of the dangerous high crime and poor schooling neighborhoods of cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit or St. Louis.  Which is most important to you:  doing something about public safety and raising the quality of education or, as most black politicians do, focusing energies upon President Donald Trump and who among the 20 presidential contenders will lead the Democratic Party?  The average American has no inkling about the horrible conditions in which many blacks live.  Moreover, they wouldn't begin to tolerate living under those conditions themselves.

Raw racism:  Bette Midler calls black people at Trump rally 'blackground' and asks what they were paid.  At a time when black employment is at a record high, rappers such as Kanye West are calling President Trump their 'dragon brother,' and large numbers of black people are joining the Republican Party, how's this for a rabid racist response from the unhinged left?  I present for you washed-up actress and vaudeville act, Bette Midler: [...]

Bette Midler calls African American Trump supporters 'blackground,' is slammed as 'racist'.  Bette Midler is facing backlash after suggesting that President Donald Trump paid African American supporters to add "blackground" to his rally.  The outspoken Trump critic took to Twitter Wednesday to share a photo of a group of black men standing in the crowd behind Trump during one of his reelection rallies.

Democrats Hold a Terrible Hand of Race Cards.  The race card is being thrown back in the faces of those who have played it for decades.  The term "racist" has become such a cliché that it no longer carries any weight or meaning. [...] How many Democrat Senators proudly worked with former KKK Grand Cyclops Senator Robert Byrd for decades, some even calling him their "mentor" as Hillary Clinton did?

Democrats Still Don't Seem To Understand Latino Voters Aren't Obsessed With Illegal Immigration.  Democrats seem to think railing against how illegal immigrants are treated is a winning issue with Latino voters — as if every Latino in America came here illegally.  It's a pretty brazen assumption, and one the Left is not called out on.  It now appears as though the Left is just starting to learn that Latino voters care about other things — things all Americans care about:  healthcare, the economy, and education.

Pete Buttigieg Warns Black Americans of Another Civil War.  Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday [7/2/2019] warned Black Americans of a new civil war if the federal government failed to end racist institutions and pay reparations for slavery.  "If we do not tackle the problem of racial inequality in my lifetime, I am convinced that it will upend the American project in my lifetime," he warned.  "It brought our country to its knees once and if we do not act, it could again."

The Editor says...
 Was that a warning of an impending civil war, or an incitement of civil war?

Send The Illegals Back!  Almost five years ago, I wrote about how then-president Barack Hussein Obama was a "deadbeat dad" to American children In his mission to fundamentally destroy America, not only did the Fallen Messiah attack Christians, whites and police, but he also abandoned America's black children.  Along with the deceptive liberal media, he pretended to care about illegal alien "children" by bringing them by the thousands into our country for votes.  For decades, RINO Republicans and godless Democrats have catered to illegals, exploiting them for power, politics and cheap labor — to the detriment of American society.  For over 29 years, I've spoken out against illegal immigration on behalf of blacks who bear the brunt of the chaos brought by open borders.  Illegal aliens and their children often end up in black communities, take black jobs, crowd their hospitals and schools, and fight with black children.

Thread Reader:  Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Americans Most.  Claims that immigration enforcement equals racism ignore the reality that the group most likely to benefit from a tougher approach to immigration enforcement is young black men, who often compete with recent immigrants for low-skilled jobs.  This dynamic played out recently at a large bakery in Chicago that supplies buns to McDonald's.  Some 800 immigrant laborers, most of them from Mexico, lost their jobs last year after an audit by [ICE].  The Cloverhill Bakery, owned by Aryzta, a big Swiss food conglomerate, had to hire new workers, 80% to 90% of whom are African American. [...] [T]he new workers are paid $14 per hour, or $4 per hour more than the (illegal) immigrant workers.  In this case, and in many others, the beneficiaries of immigration enforcement were working-class blacks, who are often passed over for jobs by unscrupulous employers.

A Jihad Basis for the Coup.  We are the last defenders of civilization.  Period.  The evidence now shows that Obama, Hillary, and John Kerry sold out.  We still don't know how many secrets Hillary sold to foreign powers for money, but thirty thousand emails are still missing.  Even conservatives tend to forget how deeply the Democrats hate this country.  We don't really want to know that, being normal, decent people.  The Democrats colluded with Stalin in the 20th century, and they never got over being exposed by Joe McCarthy.  They were the party of slavery and secession, and later, they supported the Klan.  Their record is morally abysmal.  As for Obama, he never showed any understanding of American moral values.  He is either very blind or on the wrong side.  Take your pick.

Biden unwittingly reveals the scope of the Democratic Party's racism.  As the old geezer praises 'civility' and other virtues of the men of his party, the hair-raising specter is rising:  Segregationists were pretty much the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.  It wasn't a fringe or regional group.  It wasn't a few outliers.  It was the main thrust of the Democratic Party and recently enough that Biden knew its proponents.  Republicans have known this for a long time — just the history of the civil rights movement, with the Bull Connor Democrats who tried to stop it every step of the way, often violently, pretty well shows how intensely the Democratic Party was the party of racism.

Heretics in the Church of Progressive Liberalism.  Certain ideas are indisputable.  Those who question them are heretics.  Dogma and heresy were on display, yet again, this week during hearings of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties as it (once again) considered the idea of (still more) reparations for slavery.  In this case, the dogma states that all material differences in outcomes among races are, a priori, caused by discrimination alone.  This is particularly true when there are differences in outcomes between African Americans and other Americans — especially white Americans.  Those differences must be attributed to slavery and Jim Crow alone.

The Dems' 2020 Election Strategy.  [Scroll down]  We know that Indians, or whatever Elizabeth Warren wants to be called, got the shaft a few centuries ago, but we gave them casinos, so both sides smoked a peace pipe and called it even.  And we know that Africans got the shaft half a millennium ago — shafted by their own people in Africa who sold them into slavery and bondage for rum, so now should be paying reparations from that rum money with 500 years of interest compounded quarterly, and then the Africans got shafted when they got here.  We know that, somewheres around fifty years ago, the Great Society decided to make amends somehow by changing rules so that fairness would balance out by giving the shaft to everyone else.  So we paid increased taxes to provide welfare like crazy, food stamps, paying even more money each time the mother had another kid, and even more money if the father abandoned the family — and we topped it off with racial quotas that we called "Affirmative Action".

Reparations: Democrats Scam and Insult Blacks Again.  Please stop telling black Americans that we are crippled, inferior and are helpless children who can only succeed via government handouts, lowered standards and special concessions.  Just stop it!  The Civil War effectively ended slavery in 1863.  After eight years of Americans making a black man the leader of the free world, Democrats are absurdly claiming blacks are suffering the negative repercussions of slavery and deserve a check.  These people (Democrats) are evil, divisive, race-baiting and race-exploiting con artists.

Black intellectuals surprise Democrats by telling them who owes the tab on reparations.  House Democrats thought they had an easy issue for rallying the black vote:  bringing up reparations for slavery as an election issue and holding congressional hearings.  What better way to rally coveted black voters than to hold out a big pile of reparations money along with lot of talk about victimization derived from evils committed in the past?  It didn't work out the way they thought it would.  A large number of Black intellectuals and pundits weighed in, not just at the hearing, but on Twitter and beyond, making a hash of the Democrat "narrative."  Quillette columnist Coleman Hughes, who's a Black Democrat, argued in testimony that the whole thing was insulting to black people and a distraction from the issues Black people face today.

Democrats embrace their segregationist past.  From the Civil War through the 1990s, Democrats controlled the 11 Confederate states.  Not until 1994 did Republicans have a majority of the congressmen from those states, and that was 30 years after passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  State legislatures fell later.  For years, though, Democrats have peddled the lie that the segregationists flipped parties in 1964.  They remained loyal Democrats.  Now Joe Biden is embracing his inner white supremacist.  News One reported, "Joe Biden Fondly Recalls The 'Civility' Of Pro-Segregation Senators."  Sure, they denied black people the vote, forced them to sit in the back of the bus, and would not let them in their restaurants, bathrooms, or hotels, but by golly those klansmen in the Senate were gentlemen.  Biden joined the Senate in 1973.

Progressives Seek To Make Segregation Great Again.  The progressive left touts segregation on college campuses.  You have probably already heard of minority students requesting separate dorm facilities and safe spaces.  But there is another aspect of college life that the left wants to segregate:  Graduations.  Virginia Tech University recently started offering ten segregated graduation ceremonies that are separated by race, sexuality, and other identity groups.  Students are allowed to participate in the graduation of their choosing.  The ceremonies are open to anyone who wishes to attend, but the participants must fall into the right category.

NFL Legend Burgess Owens Says Democrats Should Pay Reparations.  NFL legend and Super Bowl Champion Burgess Owens, does not agree with the Democrats about much.  However, he does agree with them about reparations, except he believes the Democrats should be the only ones who have to pay them.  During stirring testimony in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Reparations, Owens blasted the Democratic Party "for all the misery" they've brought to blacks; citing everything from the party's support of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and abortion.

Ahhh, those were the good old days.  Right, Joe?
 Joe Biden Shares Fond Memories of Working With Segregationist Senators in the 1970s.  Former Vice President Joe Biden has highlighted his ability to do business with people all political persuasions, citing how he had worked with two prominent segregationists.  The frontrunner for the 2020 Democrat ticket was speaking at a fundraiser in New York's Carlyle Hotel where he referred to Senators James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia, whom he worked with during a 36-year Senate stint.  Eastland, who died in 1986 aged 81, vehemently opposed integration and thought black people belonged to "an inferior race."

To Pay for Reparations, Will Democrats Sue Themselves?  Slavery in America ended more than 150 years ago.  Neither former slaves nor slave owners are alive today.  Furthermore, columnist and radio host Michael Medved says that only about 5 percent of whites have any sort of "generational" connection to slavery.  "The importation of slaves came to an end in 1808 (as provided by the Constitution), a mere 32 years after independence, and slavery had been outlawed in most states decades before the Civil War," wrote Medved in 2007. [...] Finally, what about the role of the Democratic Party in slavery, Jim Crow and the resistance to ending them?  Republican President Abraham Lincoln, elected on an anti-slavery platform, signed the Emancipation Proclamation and led the North in its victory over the South at the cost of at least 620,000 soldiers dead on both sides.  Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, the 14th Amendment, which conferred citizenship on them, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote.

Black reporter harassed at impeach Trump protest: 'Go back to Fox News to pick cotton'.  Two anti-Trump demonstrators made racist comments to an African American Fox News contributor while he was covering an impeachment protest in New York.  The editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, 26-year-old Lawrence Jones, was interviewing people at an event promoting President Trump's impeachment when two attendees began directing racist comments toward him.  One of the men reportedly told Jones that he should go back to Fox News "where there's more cotton for you to pick."  When the man was asked to clarify what he just said, he reiterated the racist remark, according to the producer.

African-American Candidates Polling at 1 Percent in Iowa.  One day, black Democrats will wake up and say, "We've been had."  For a half century, African Americans have been giving Democrats a huge majority of their votes in national elections — 91 percent for Hillary in 2016, 90 percent in the 2018 Congressional contests — and in return Democratic kingmakers have not seen fit to take a single presidential candidate of African American heritage seriously. [...] The leading African American candidate, the once promising Sen. Cory Booker, is polling at 1 percent.  Improbably, Booker is the only African American candidate in a field of 23.  Hispanic candidates, the presumed future of the Democratic Party, are doing no better.

Intersectionality Is A Lie If Pro-Choicers Are Okay With The Black Baby Death Toll.  The left thrives on recklessly leveraging race.  They inflame and foment racial differences until their voters are hysterical over the idea that slavery is returning to our country at the hands of the pro-life movement.

This is an immediate disqualification!  Unless you're a Democrat, and the Deep State has already selected you.
 Book: Senator Biden Lectured City on What's 'Good for the Negro'.  Former Vice President Joe Biden lectured the City Club in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1973 about what he thought was "good for the Negro," according to a new book from a prominent left-wing journalist.  The racially insensitive comments from Biden, a white man from Delaware who was at the time newly elected to the U.S. Senate, resurfaced, thanks to a new book from leftist journalist Ryan Grim of the Intercept.  The book, We've Got People:  From Jesse Jackson to AOC, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement, has already landed a few other major blows, including on former President Barack Obama, regarding his "don't ask, don't tell" repeal legacy, but this revelation about Biden's torrid history with race — as told from the left — is particularly damning for the current Democrat 2020 presidential primary front runner.

The left now has a MeToo problem with Martin Luther King, Jr.  The left, which has been so eager to topple statues of Confederate generals, slave-owning founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, even Kate Smith who sang objectionable racist songs early in her career, now has a Martin Luther King, Jr. problem. [...] And for the left, which has lived by the statue-toppling, it can now die by the statue-toppling.  It toppled Confederate statues and sought to erase the founding fathers from the history books, so now all the streets named for the great civil rights leader, all the postage stamps, the schools, the history book lessons, the holiday, the statues, the sculptures, and the memorials, well, they can take them down now over the [allegations] and the rape witnessing report as King was pretty much Weinstein-level in his transgressions.

No Heroes Left: The MLK Revelations.  [Scroll down]  How different is that from today's civil rights movement (lower case deliberate) where reactionary identity politics rules the day.  What was once an idealistic crusade for equality and integration is now a movement for segregation with Harvard (among many colleges) holding separate graduation celebrations for African Americans.  Go figure.  The crypto-fascist concept of intersectionality dominating our campuses deliberately pits racial, religious and age groups against each other in a victimhood competition that does nothing but encourage people to hate each other.  We are going backwards fast, with the Democratic Party instigating much of it.

The MLK tapes.  Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with '40 to 45 women' and even claim he 'looked on and laughed' as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist, an author has claimed. [...] Writing in British magazine Standpoint, [biographer David] Garrow says that the shocking files could lead to a 'painful historical reckoning' for the man who is celebrated across the world for his campaign against racial injustice.

The Calming Feeling as Jew-Hate Now Takes Deeper Root in the Democrat Party.  It now is commonplace to recognize that Democrats — including Obama, Biden, Schumer, Clinton, and all the rest of them — all strongly supported building a border wall and keeping out Illegals.  Biden even complained openly about "corrupt Mexico."  It was a key part of the Democrat program, dating back to the days of California's Hispanic union leader Cesar Chavez, that the Illegals must be kept out because they take jobs from the economic underclass and bring down their wages by eagerly working for crumbs.  Democrat Orthodoxy taught that the party had to protect African Americans and union workers from the influx of uncontrolled cheap labor.  And then the Democrats did some vote counting.  They realized that they have the African-American voting population in their pockets anyway.  They assumed that the White union workers never would leave either, since union bosses are well provided for by the Democrats.  At the same time, the Democrats came to realize that an influx of Illegals rapidly would change the American electorate.  They were right.  They have changed the electorate in the California that once elected Nixon and Reagan.  They have changed Colorado and New Mexico.  They are changing Nevada and Arizona.  They even are aiming at Texas.  So they sold out African Americans — as they always do — and White union workers for a greater payoff at the voting booths.

Bernie Sanders flips off urban minority kids.  Few things offend Bernie Sanders as much as people escaping from command-and-control government systems, even minority students whose parents are desperate to get their kids a decent education.  The socialist wants to turn George Wallace on his head and not block black children from attending traditional public schools but block them from exiting them for something better.

Lisa Smiley: Why Asians Should Leave the Democratic Party.  With grassroots movements such as "Blexit" and "Walk Away" sweeping the nation, several reliably Democratic voting blocks could be slipping away.  The Daily Caller's Lisa Smiley says that she believes Asians should leave the Democratic Party.  "Democrats have duped Asians into voting against our own self-interest," Smiley claims.  [Video clip]

The Left's Obsession with Race.  There was a time when people aspired to a world where race was an afterthought.  It was always a tough slog, but we'd moved closer and closer over time.  Then something funny happened — a political party realized they could benefit from division and that unity was bad for business.  Unity would require a debate on issues and their merits, which was one they had been losing, so they opted for backsliding; divide to conquer.  If you divide people into groups it is much easier to win.  Groups of people are easier to manipulate than millions of individuals.  It is easier to win especially when you've been inundating them with the idea that there are "others" actively working against them as well as a system completely rigged to crush them.  These ideas coupled with the elevation and fetishization of victimhood in the culture and you've created the perfect petri dish for the progressive agenda.

Will Suppression Truthers Depress 2020 Democratic Turnout?  It should be obvious to these Democratic demagogues that supporters upon whom they heavily rely are also the most likely to believe the suppression canard and conclude that there is little point in trying to vote.  Several surveys conducted before and after last year's midterms show that the voter blocs that tend to lean Democratic are the least confident that vote counts are accurate in national elections.  Blacks, for example, constitute a crucial voting bloc for Democrats and the Pew Research Center found that only 20 percent were "very confident" their votes would be counted as they intended.  Hispanics and Millennials tend to be even less sanguine.

The Democrats and Mass Hysteria.  [Scroll down]  Race riots might be an example of mass hysteria brought on by soft tyranny.  You keep a people tightly leashed to a meager subsistence with assurance that society's deck is eternally stacked against them while further insuring that field stays uneven by providing atrocious public education to their children, and some of those people might fly off the handle once in a while.  As the smoke diminishes and the cameras lose interest, the do-gooders return to showering the root problem with spiritually malignant benevolence.  The left is knowingly indifferent to the torn-apart families and shreds of human dignity strewn about the street corner where good intention intersects bad result.

Racist Liberals Attack Tiger Woods.  When Tiger Woods won The Masters this year it shocked the world.  His glory days were long since gone; injuries had relegated him to forever live in past accomplishments — his career was pretty much over, he just hadn't retired yet.  Then he did it, he came back and won.  Nearly everyone was not only shocked, they were excited.  Americans love a great comeback story.  In the midst of that celebration, something happened to turn a lot of people away from that happiness — the president of the United States joined in.  First came a tweet congratulating Woods.  Leftists responded the way they respond to everything, they called Donald Trump a racist.  Ask them what time it is and you'll get the same response.

Why Must Black Conservative Republicans Explain Themselves?  [Scroll down]  It was the policies of one President Johnson that has led to the decimation of the traditional, nuclear, two-parent black family in America.  At the time of my birth in 1961, the two-parent household in the black community was a majority.  Since Johnson believed that the government should issue checks to women for out of wedlock births — but they cannot have a man in the home — the two-parent household is about one third in the black community.  There is a political party in America that vehemently supports an organization founded by a white supremacist, racist, who spoke at KKK rallies.  Her name is Margaret Sanger, and her organization is Planned Parenthood.  And since Roe v Wade, according to a report by the Center for Urban Renewal and Education from 2015, more than 19 million black babies have been murdered in the womb.  After all, Sanger referred to blacks as "weeds" and "undesirables."  This is a clear and present danger, a genocide before our own eyes, yet this same political party is championing slave reparations.

Given The Democratic Party's History Of Racism, Their Attacks On Me Aren't A Surprise.  When the Democrats' ridiculous, fear-mongering "Rise of White Nationalism" hearing blew up in their faces, liberals went looking for a scapegoat: me. [...] That hearing was a farce from the very beginning; all I did was expose it for what it was.  The entire exercise was nothing but the opening salvo of the Democrats' 2020 election strategy, which involves getting minority voters to the polls with a combination of fear and bribery — using the specter of "white nationalism" to smear Republicans while Democrats call for "reparations" in the form of government handouts.  It was a cynical, condescending attempt to mislead black voters, and while the Democrats had a whole panel of left-wing identity politics activists and social media executives to help them, only Zionist Organization of America leader Mort Klein and I were on hand to counter their deceptions.

Video of Candace Owens firing back at Ted Lieu nears C-SPAN record.  The viral clip of conservative commentator Candace Owens accusing Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., of distorting her comments in such fashion that he must "believe black people are stupid" has become the most-viewed C-SPAN Twitter video from a House hearing.  The Twitter video of the exchange so far accumulated nearly 6.8 million views and appears to be on track to be most watched C-SPAN clip from a House hearing on all platforms.

Benny Johnson and Candace Owens
Isn't She Adorable?  My buddy Benny Johnson, who I've known since 2007, posted this photo of himself with Candace Owens at Reagan National Airport.  According to Benny, he was running to catch a flight when he bumped into Owens, fresh from her recent congressional testimony, wearing a MAGA hat and carrying "a sizable amount of Chic-fil-A." [...] You may recall the story of how it was Owens became a conservative.  She was a liberal, but during the #GamerGate controversy, she was "doxxed" by the Left, and had a road-to-Damascus awakening:  "I became a conservative overnight.  I realized that liberals were actually the racists.  Liberals were actually the trolls."  In this, she reminds me of Michelle Malkin.  When she was a student at Oberlin College, Malkin became an object of left-wing scorn when she dared to question the school's "diversity" agenda, and that experience — being called all the awful things the Left calls people who don't "know their place" in the official victimhood hierarchy — galvanized her.


What Is Dallas Council Hiding In their Frenzy Over Confederate Monuments?  Democrats are quite careful never to mention that Southern slave owners were Democrats or that the Democrat party perpetuated racial segregation after the Civil War through Jim Crow laws, founded the Ku Klux Klan, established poll taxes, and opposed the civil rights legislation of the 1960s.  They prefer the ignorant public believe this was at the hands of the Republican party, which totally opposed slavery and supported civil rights legislation.

Using "Blackspeech" Instead of Blackface to Skirt a Charge of Racism?  This week the National Action Network, an Al Sharpton event, was held.  Almost every Democrat contender running for President in 2020 attended, and spoke.  Representative Alexander Ocasio-Cortez was no exception.  Cortez took the floor and stirred up the attendees by resorting to "blackspeech" as she addressed the crowd.  Just like Hillary Clinton did in Alabama as she used the words of the late Rev. James Cleveland, Cortez put on a stellar Black slow accent as she spoke.  It would seem like her address would have been offensive to those hearing it as she spoke down to the mostly Black crowd, and told them that it was okay to do menial and ordinary jobs.  That in itself should have been enough to draw criticism because she made it sound as though Blacks should not seek to achieve anything better.

Candace Owens Nukes Nadler's 'Hate Crime' Hearing.  If you want to know why the Democrats are frightened of Candace Owens, watch the video of her Tuesday morning [4/9/2019] testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.  For example, early in the proceedings, Owens chastised Chairman Jerrold Nadler for misrepresenting her biography:  "You reduced it to one sentence, calling me a conservative activist.  It wasn't what I submitted to your office last night and I think that you opened with anti-black bias."  Having demonstrated that she is no shrinking violet, Owens debunked the ostensible purpose of the hearing — that it was convened to examine white nationalist hate crimes.

Candace KO's Dems.  "The media and the journalists on the Left are not interested in telling the truth about me because I don't fit the stereotype of what they like to see in black people.  I am a Democrat.  I support the President of the United States and I advocate for things that are actually affecting the black community."  That was Candace Owens of Turning Point USA in her opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. [...] Owens continued, "there isn't a single adult today that in good conscience would make the argument that America is a more racist, more white nationalist society than it was when my grandfather was growing up, and yet we are hearing these terms center around today because what they want to say is that brown people need to be scared, which seems to be the narrative that we hear every four years right ahead of a presidential election."

Candace Owens Nukes the Democrats.  House Democrats held a hearing today on white nationalism and hate crimes.  Trying to wrench the narrative back after the stunning demise of the Mueller investigation, I suppose.  Candace Owens was called as a witness, presumably by the Republicans.  Check out her opening statement, in which she let the Democratic Party have it with both barrels.  It is one of the most righteous performances you are ever likely to see.  [Video clip]

Reparations: Another Cynical Racial Ploy from the Democrats.  They say money is the mother's milk of politics, but for the Democrats the true mother's milk is racism — that is the perception thereof.  Without the belief that America is a racist country, specifically against blacks but generally against any other group they can claim to be vulnerable, the party would cease to exist, dissolving into a puddle like the Wicked Witch of the West in the "Wizard of Oz."  That is why they work so hard to preserve this sense of a country suffused with racism, fanning the flames at every turn to make it so, even when it isn't.  In so doing, they often hypnotize themselves, convincing themselves of their own belief, which in turn perpetuates the myth and continues to manufacture hatred where it doesn't exist.

'We Don't Talk Like That': Ocasio-Cortez Accused Of Putting On Black 'Accent' At NAN Conference.  Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seemed to use a forced accent during a speech to the National Action Network convention Friday [4/5/2019]. [...] Ironically, while Al Sharpton introduced Ocasio-Cortez to Friday's event, then Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton switched up her usual accent when speaking to the civil rights activist in 2016.

Is the Democratic Party possessed?  Hillary Clinton did it, as did Al Gore.  Even Barack Obama, depending on his audience, could upshift and downshift his colloquialisms to match his own perceived level of pandering from Ivy League, country club snob to battle rapper.  Sandy O was just following their lead, using the same working script on "How to Speak to Groups."

Slavery reparations hustle and 'Blame Whitey' mania is a scam, says former ACLU leader.  Democrats are trying to bribe black voters again by dusting off the old leftist talking point of promising Slavery Reparations.  Not surprisingly, the reparations talk is heating up just as we approach the 2020 elections.  However, black activists warn black voters to not fall for the "Blame Whitey" hustle because no one is getting reparations.  It's merely a scam to con blacks into voting for Democrats.

AOC adopts Southern drawl to talk to black audience.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., appeared to imitate a Southern accent in a speech to a predominantly black audience at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference in New York City on Friday [4/5/2019].  "This is what building power looks like, this is what changing the country looks like," Ocasio-Cortez said, exaggerating and drawing out vowels in a distinct change from her usual pronunciation.

Estupida-Cortez Panders to Blacks with Phony Accent.  Why do Democrats insult Black Americans by attempting to pander to them with phony accents?  When speaking to Black audiences, they use an obviously fake and contrived accent to mimic the way they believe Black Americans talk.  I find it offensive and disgusting, and I'm not even Black!  Hillary Clinton did it.  Barack Obama did it.  Now, Alexandria Estupida-Cortez wants in on the action.  [Video clip]

AOC mocked for 'accent' at Sharpton event; compared to Hillary Clinton.  U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., faced backlash Friday after seeming to develop a new accent while speaking to a predominantly black audience in New York City.  In an appearance at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the freshman congresswoman responded to those who've invoked her past employment as a bartender in what she said were attempts to delegitimize her status as an elected official.  "I'm proud to be a bartender.  Ain't nothing wrong with that," Ocasio-Cortez said.

AOC Responds To Criticism Of Her Fake Southern Black Accent And She's Not Happy.  As reported by fellow RedState writer Sarah Lee, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke in front of the National Action Network yesterday [4/5/2019] and decided to don the worst fake southern black accent to ever exist.

2020 Democrats Rely on Google Translate to Court Latino Voters.  Democratic presidential candidates appear to be relying on Google translate to bolster their outreach efforts to Latino voters.  The Spanish-language portion of each candidates website has "striking similarities" to "Google's translation service," according to an analysis by Politico.  The candidates appear to be using Google to translate the copy on their sites from English-to-Spanish and posting "with only minor cleanup."  The end result is that websites are riddled with "awkward phrases," incorrect idioms, and generally poor grammar.

Race Relations:  If Democrats Would Get Out of Our Way.  To keep blacks feeling like victims in a forever racist America, Democrats keep the flames of racial division burning.  Blacks are only 12% of the population.  This means white voters gifted the first black president two terms.  Despicably, Democrats continue to tell blacks, "Keep voting for us to keep racist white America off your backs."  Contrary to the Democrats' lie, we have come a long way baby in race relations in our country.  Living, working, and playing together, a majority of Americans work out their racial issues.  We need race-baiting Democratic politicians to get out of our way.

To Pay for Slavery Reparations, Will Democrats Sue Themselves?  Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which freed the slaves, the 14th Amendment, which conferred citizenship on them, and the 15th Amendment, which gave them the right to vote.  During the debate over the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Democrats, including Sen. Al Gore Sr., orchestrated a record-breaking 60-day filibuster in an attempt to block the bill from coming to a vote.  By percentage, more Republicans in the House and the Senate voted to pass the bill than did Democrats.  Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen received an honor, 40 years after his death, from his hometown's local chapter of the NAACP for his work navigating the bill through the Senate.

White Leftists And The White Progressive Savior Mentality.  The white progressive savior continues to pose as a friend of minorities, but in reality, they are using them as a useful political tool.  It is why Joe Biden told a crowd of black Americans that Republicans wanted to "put y'all back in chains."  It's why they argue that voter ID laws are racist because blacks can't figure out how to obtain identification.  Moreover, by implementing programs that seem to be helpful, they are keeping many minorities dependent on the Democratic Party, which means they will continue to garner most of their votes.  In this sense, the progressive left are the political pusher men and their policies are the opioids that provide short-term relief while quietly killing the communities in which they are implemented.  Programs like welfare are accomplishing one thing:  Ensuring that impoverished minorities remain in communities mired with crime and poverty.  If the progressives wish to be viewed as the people who are poor and helpless, then they need for people to be poor and helpless, right?

Blacks and the Democrats.  Well, the 2020 election will soon be upon us, and the African-American community has hired the same incompetent political party for the past 50 years.  You would think, after receiving such overwhelming support from the black community, Democrats would do everything in their power to make their dedicated minority supporters the envy of every citizen.  Sadly, following election day, Democrats get a strange case of amnesia.  What has been the payoff to the black community for religiously voting for Democratic leadership?

Not African at All.  We are all familiar with the track record of African-Americans in voting for the Democratic Party.  In many elections the ratio is comfortably above ninety percent.  If the Episcopal Church was once described as "The Republican Party at prayer", certainly the African-American church for the last fifty years could be described as "The Democratic Party at prayer."  In practical terms, what this means is that the black community has marched in lock-step with the agenda of that party:  abortion, same-sex marriage, normalizing transgenderism, secularized education, and the like.  The results of this dogmatic one-sided commitment to the progressive vision:  one-third of African-American children will be aborted; seventy percent of African-American children are born out of wedlock; only 15-20 percent will reach their teenage years in two-parent families.  But here is where it gets ironic:  blacks are the most church-attending ethnic group in America.

Trump Is the Most 'Progressive' President Ever for Blacks, Gays, Jews.  There are two reasons the media, Hollywood, and the Democratic political elite believed Smollett's claims.  First, he belongs to several victim categories: black, gay, and even Jewish (albeit via his father), according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.  Second, he appealed to the left's shared contempt for America in the Trump era:  he claimed, for example, that the fact people doubted his story "says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now."  The crucial detail in Smollett's account, which ultimately proved its undoing, was the claim that his attackers had shouted, "This is MAGA country."

Abortion and the Politics of Self-Destruction.  Planned Parenthood began 1916 when Margaret Sanger opened America's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn.  Less well known is that Sanger was a racist and eugenicist who considered many Americans unworthy of life. [...] Sanger wrote a letter in 1939 saying "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."  Given the popularity of Planned Parenthood among Democrats, and overwhelming support of the Democrat party among blacks, obviously word of this did not get out. [...] Hillary Clinton, in 2009, accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award.  She remarked, "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision." [...] Let's not forget the late Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, who at one time was an Exalted Cyclops in the KKK, and who Hillary Clinton praised as her "mentor."  She is not alone in having racist mentors.  Bill Clinton's mentor was Democratic Senator J. William Fulbright who fought against school desegregation.  Don't forget Democratic Senator Al Gore, Sr. who voted against the Civil Rights Act.

Breaking the Left's Deception of Black Americans.  My younger brother Jerry is the only Republican in his all-black Baptist church in Baltimore.  He confronted his black pastor about routinely including rants about how Trump and Republicans are racist in his sermons.  Jerry told the pastor about how years ago, Trump gave Jesse Jackson office space for his PUSH organization.  Jerry explained that the KKK was founded by Democrats.  He touted Democrats' history of perceiving blacks as inferior and opposing black liberation.  None of these truths impacted his pastor's disdain for Trump and Republicans.  Jerry feels led to remain in his church, letting his light shine and speaking out for what is right.  Jerry said since political facts seem useless in breaking his pastor's blind loyalty to Democrats, he will approach it using biblical scripture.

Kamala Harris Will Run on Reparations for Slavery.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said in an interview Monday with "Breakfast Club" that she supports "some type of" reparations to black Americans for slavery. [...] Harris said "America has a history of 200 years of slavery.  We had Jim Crow.  We had legal segregation in America for a very long time.  The Voting Rights Act was only strong for 50 years and then they wiped it out with this United States Supreme Court in the Shelby decision, to the point that 22 states immediately thereafter put in place laws that one court found were crafted with surgical precision to have black people not be able to vote."  Those were all Democrat policies!  Democrats should pay the reparations.

Are the Days of Roe v.  Wade Numbered?  Every time I lament that my fellow blacks insanely support Planned Parenthood, which targets black babies to kill, I'm flooded with emails from whites.  "Lloyd, let blacks know Planned Parenthood was founded by rabid racist Margaret Sanger to exterminate blacks."  Frustrated, I yell at my computer.  "I've been telling blacks the truth about Sanger and Planned Parenthood for years to no avail!"  Unbelievably, over 20 black religious leaders gathered to ceremonially "bless" a new Planned Parenthood abortion chop-shop in Washington, D.C.  These supposed black shepherds are participating in the genocide of their own flocks.  To stop the black-on-black genocide via abortion, Godly black ministers put up a billboard.  "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb."  Guess who had a cow and demanded that the billboard be removed?  The answer is Rev. Al Sharpton, black civil rights organizations, and Democrats.

Virginia Dems add anti-Semitism accusation to party's troubles.  Ibraheem Samirah, Democrats' candidate in a special election for a state House seat later this month, apologized Friday [2/8/2019] for anti-Israel comments from earlier this decade, saying that while he made them, the fact that they are rising now is a "slander campaign."  Dr. Samirah, who was born in the U.S. but calls himself a "second-generation Palestinian refugee," said he wrote the offending comments five years ago on Facebook, and says they were the musings of his college mind, which "I sincerely regret and apologize for."

The Whole Lot of Them Are Bat-Crazy.  In his SOTU address, the President showed deep compassion for African Americans, for Hispanic Americans, for women — for all the groups that the liars and real haters allege he disdains.  All the haters who accuse this President falsely of racism and anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and all are self-serving liars who themselves view every person with bigotry, identifying each by gender, race, sexual preference, religion.  That is what their Identity Politics is all about:  "Vote for me because I am your Identity, too, or will try to change myself to be."  Stacey Abrams was the perfect Democrat counterpoint:  not Caucasian, not male, and still whining about losing.  The Loser as counterfoil to Make America Great Again.

Flashback: Verified White Racist Receives 90% Of The Black Vote.  Democratic Governor George Wallace stood at the doors of the University of Alabama, blocking African American students from entering.  This was back in 1963. [...] A few years after his last presidential quest, Wallace became a born-again Christian, repented of his racist views, and ran for governor of Alabama one last time.  Wallace won and he won with 90% of the African American vote.  As we look at what is happening in Virginia and surely what could happen in other states, we have to ask ourselves what the nation wants in terms of racism and repentance as well as what the nation wants in terms of curbing abhorrent behavior and beliefs.

Bunch of White Women Dressed in White  not applauding during talk of record minority employment — not a good look. [...] Well, they didn't stand for the minority employment, but the women stood for record employment of women.  Seems kinda ... selfish.

Liberalism's PC Petards.  Looking at the possibility of losing the Virginia governorship to the Republicans, a few liberals are calling for adjustments to the PC penal code.  The New York Daily News, normally unforgiving in its commitment to upholding the strictures of political correctness, ran an editorial entitled:  "Facing facts:  Blackface is awful, but is it always and immediately disqualifying from public office?"  The paper seemed to argue that the growing volume of cases argues against a zero tolerance policy.

Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon Ignore Northam Controversy After Previously Appearing in Blackface.  Late-night funnymen Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon both ignored the massive controversy created by a photo purportedly showing Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) in blackface.  As Fox News points out, the late-night network hosts may have ignored the story due to their own history wearing blackface in past comedy sketches.

The Northam Debacle is a fitting nightmare for a party that is all about "identity.".  During Obama's first two years in office, black unemployment rose; under Trump, it has fallen.  The liberal apoplexy about the Northam debacle is a reminder that the Democrats obsess not over sound policies but the preservation of politically useful images.  They don't want to lose any ground to a president whom they routinely smear as a racist.  They live in dread fear of losing a monopoly on the black vote, a monopoly based not upon substantive achievements but on the successful manipulation of identity politics.

Howard and Ralph.  [Virginia governor Ralph] Northam — a Democrat, despite what lies about his party affiliation might appear on CNN chyrons — was elected over Ed Gillespie in 2017 amid a campaign wherein Northam's party ran a mailer tying Gillespie to the white supremacist demonstrations and subsequent deadly street conflagrations in Charlottesville earlier that year, and also ran a TV ad insinuating that Gillespie and his supporters would be running down children of color in pickup trucks.  The supreme irony of that campaign, particularly given the vicious lies about Gillespie which were told in it, came back to bite Northam in spades when a page from his medical school yearbook surfaced showing what appears to be him in a photo in blackface, standing next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan costume.  Or perhaps it's Northam under the white hood.  We can't say for sure, because after a mealy-mouthed initial response Northam is now denying he's either person in that photo, [...]

Before Northam, Democrats Didn't Just Dress Up as Klansmen.  As late as 1989, Democrats called a former KKK Exalted Cyclops their leader in the United States Senate.  Robert Byrd acknowledged, and regretted, his youthful involvement in the murderous hate group.  But his "fleeting association," as Bill Clinton put it, with the KKK appeared not so much as a moment of insensitivity, as some might construe Northam dressing up in the mid-1980s, as a prolonged period of bigotry at its ugliest.  "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again," he wrote Senator Theodore Bilbo, another Democrat associated with the KKK, "than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."  Less than a decade ago, a more forgiving Left came together to eulogize Byrd as a great man.

Northam Spikes The Ball On How Acceptable Racism Is Among Democrats.  Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in a Saturday [2/2/2019] press conference denied appearing in a racist 1984 photograph that he on Friday apologized for admitting he did wear blackface for a Michael Jackson dance context the same year wearing similar shoes, a glittery glove and shoe black on his face.

Biden Endorsed Segregation in 1975, Mainstream Media Dead Silent.  Democrats have had an extremely bad week.  From Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's past racist photos surfacing to HBO's Bill Maher mocking a black Republican Congressman, the liberal party can't seem to slow the madness.  Enter former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now dealing with a serious racial issue of his own involving segregation and "black pride" [...]

'Coonman' Northam Tries to Cop a Plea.  Democrat Ralph "Coonman" Northam wants to remain Virginia's governor based on the claim that he has performed in blackface only once.  Reversing his earlier confession that he was indeed one of the two people shown in a racist photo appearing on the "Ralph Shearer Northam" page of his medical school yearbook, he said during a Saturday news conference that neither could have been him because he has donned blackface but a single time, for a San Antonio talent show.  He also added, "I have a lot of African-American friends."

Is Bill Maher a racist?  These days we hear about racism — more often than not, it seems, fictitious racism — on a daily basis.  One of the many current controversies is about Bill Maher, who was interviewing a black Republican Congressman, Will Hurd, and made a "joke" about Popeye's Chicken.  The joke is a bit of a mystery, although a bigger question is why a Republican Congressman would go on Maher's show.  [Video clip]

President Trump Tweets, Governor "Coonman" Career Ends, Wind-tester Clinton Finally Surfaces.  Yes, the hypocrisy of the Hillary Clinton surfacing to criticize Governor Northam for racism against her own direct relationship with modern racism is rather stark.  But hey, that's the typical Democrat approach.  Hillary Clinton delivered a fond eulogy for U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, a former member and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, calling him her "friend and mentor."  But hey, times-they-are-a-changin', even for the woman who carries 'hot sauce in her purse."

Lessons From the Past.  Back in 1948, the unemployment rate for 17-year-old black males was just under 10 percent, and no higher than the unemployment rate among white male 17-year-olds.  How could that be, when we have for decades gotten used to seeing unemployment rates for teenage males that have been some multiple of what it was then — and with black teenage unemployment often twice as high, or higher, than white teenage unemployment?  Many people automatically assume that racism explains the large difference in unemployment rates between black and white teenagers today.  Was there no racism in 1948?  No sane person who was alive in 1948 could believe that.  Racism was worse — and of course there was no Civil Rights Act of 1964 then.  How then could there be this low unemployment rate, with virtually no racial difference?

Who Benefits From Democratic Control?  What cities are the deadliest for blacks?  The Trace, an independent nonprofit news organization, answers that question.  Using 2017 data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program, The Trace listed the 20 major U.S. cities with the highest homicide rates — factoring in both the number of people murdered in cities and their populations.  Chicago, with 589 murders in 2018 — one murder every 15 hours — is often called the nation's murder capital.  But that's dead wrong.  In 2017, St. Louis had the nation's highest murder rate, at 66.1 homicides per 100,000 residents.  Baltimore came in second, with 55.8 murders per 100,000 people.  Detroit was third, with 39.8 murders per 100,000 people.  Other cities with high murder rates included New Orleans; Kansas City, Missouri; Cleveland; Memphis, Tennessee; and Newark, New Jersey.  With 24.1 murders per 100,000 residents, Chicago ranked ninth in the nation.  It was followed by Cincinnati and Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., was 17th.  Now here's the kicker.  Of the 20 most dangerous major cities, all but one had a Democratic mayor.  In many of these cities, the Democratic Party has ruled for a half-century or more.

I Have a Dream for Black History Month.  Democrats and fake news media do not view Black History Month as an opportunity to celebrate black achievements.  Instead, they exploit the holiday with old racial injustices experienced by few blacks alive today.  Their evil purpose is to make young blacks who have never experienced an ounce of racism hate our country, hate whites, and continue voting for Democrats to save them.  This great Democrat deception continues to devastate black communities.  Cities like Chicago; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore, controlled by Democrats for decades, are plagued with high black poverty and addictive government dependency, high black school dropouts, high black fatherless households, high black incarceration, and high black-on-black homicides.

Pelosi and the Caucus of Crazy.  House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, a three-term congressman from New York, celebrated the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. by launching into a tirade in which he compared President Trump to a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.  One would think that Representative Jeffries would, considering the KKK's well-documented ties to his own party, avoid such analogies.  The most famous Ku Klux Klan official to serve in Congress was Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, whose tenure lasted 57 years (from 1953 to 2010).

Candace Owens Interview:  Why Should Black People Leave The Democratic Party?  Blexit is a movement started by conservative activist Candace Owens in order to "free" black people from the Democratic Party.  The movement's maiden event featured a packed, standing room only theater in Los Angeles where Owens — and a cavalry of speakers including Ann Coulter, Charlie Kirk, Larry Elder and David Harris Jr — addressed the cheering audience.  The enthusiastic crowd donned shirts that read "Liberals Can't Bully Me" and a colorful collection of MAGA hats.  The Daily Caller was on the scene and interviewed Owens about the Blexit movement and why black people should leave the Democratic party.

Inside the Inaugural Blexit Rally: 'The Black and Latino Community Will Save America'.  Hundreds of people from across the country came out wearing MAGA hats and waving homemade "build the wall" signs to the inaugural Blexit rally at the Globe Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California, on Sunday [1/20/2019].  The line outside the theatre nearly wrapped around the block hours before the event began, as eager attendees met and greeted each other.

State of Texas protects civil rights of a black man over objections of deep blue Austin city government.  The mainstream media are doing their best to ignore a story that contradicts their partisan narrative about civil rights.  In this case, the deep blue city of Austin, Texas has been fined $9,000 by a judge for infringing the civil rights of an African-American.  And the champion of said victim was the deep red State of Texas attorney general.  What makes the story all the more delicious for conservatives is the civil right in question:  the Second Amendment.

The devil is using the Democratic Party to destroy America.  My parents were Democrats, and I grew up as a boy having a positive view of Presidents Truman and Kennedy.  I was shocked and saddened when I later discovered the history of the Democratic Party as the party of slavery, secession and segregation.  As I've watched the ascent of extremism, socialism and godless secularism in their ranks, I'm alarmed with millions of patriotic Americans at the trajectory of the party's politicians, policies and platform — attractive on the surface but dangerous in their outworking.

The Worst Enemy of Black People.  Malcolm X said:  "The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.  If the Negro wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems.  I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems.  Our problems will never be solved by the white man." [...] In Malcolm X's day, and mine, Negro was a proud name and not used derisively by blacks as it is today.

White liberals 'patronize' minorities: study.  White liberals present themselves as less competent when addressing minorities, while conservatives use the same vocabulary no matter what the race of their audience, according to a newly released study.  Yale and Princeton researchers found that white Democratic presidential candidates and self-identified liberals played down their competence when speaking to minorities, using fewer words that conveyed accomplishment and more words that expressed warmth.  On the other hand, there were no significant differences in how white conservatives, including Republican presidential candidates, spoke to white versus minority audiences.

Reminder: White Liberals Hate Living in Black Neighborhoods.  Chris Hayes the liberal talking head says he's afraid of black people.  By saying it, he joins the ranks of Ta-Nehisi Coates, who wrote a whole book about it; Jesse Jackson, who worried out loud that one of them was going to mug or murder him; Al Sharpton, who left blackville the second he had the chance; James Baldwin, who told us to love Americans and then exiled himself to France; Barack Obama, who lives in alabaster Kalorama and sent his kids to white schools; and Maxine Waters, who got so rich riling up her constituents that she was able to move away from them.  Black celebrities aside, one thing you never see a white liberal do is move into a black neighborhood.  Chris Hayes won't because he's already lived near one, and he says he hated it.

Two Young Black Men Vote for First Time — Wear Blexit Shirts to Polling Station, Reporter Stumped.  Two young black men lined up to vote for the first time in Georgia today [11/6/2018].  A reporter confronted them and asked them their thoughts.  The black youth said he wanted the Trump economy to continue.  The people around him cheered!  The reporter did not know what to think!  The two men were wearing Blexit shirts.

Pittsburgh and the Misplaced Anger of 'Liberal' Jews.  Blacks and Jews were allies during the days of the civil rights movement, but that went south a while ago, as we know.  But despite Farrakhan et al., they aren't that far apart ideologically, even today.  Both groups are comprised too largely of the most slavish liberal/progressive conformists. [...] Blacks at least have the excuse of having been an exploited underclass, although relying on such excuses does you no good and impedes progress and, in fact, encourages the reverse.  You would think the Jews, with their emphasis on education, might know better.  But again these days, there's no greater conformist than a Harvard professor or some Jewish columnist for the Washington Post.  Their views are stupefyingly predictable.

Andrew Gillum Attends Event Hosted By Anti-Israel Organization Following Mass Attack On Jews.  Florida's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum spoke at an event hosted by an anti-Israel organization the day after the deadliest attack on Jews in American history.  Gillum and his running mate, Chris King, spoke at a "Muslims for Gillum" rally Sunday [10/28/2018] at Apna Bazar in Orlando, Florida.  The event was co-hosted by Emgage, an American Muslim lobbying organization.  Only a day earlier on the Jewish Sabbath, 11 people perished in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after an individual carried out a mass shooting while reportedly shouting, "All Jews must die."  Emgage has been a vocal supporter of Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, and repeatedly endorsed his candidacy for governor of Florida.

Bernie Calls Trump 'Most Racist President In History.' He Forgot About These 3 Guys.  In 1913, Democrat president Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the federal government, replaced 88% of black federal service supervisors with whites, and by 1914 began requiring photographs from government job applicants.  Wilson's racial bigotry stands out even by the standards of his age, and his Republican predecessors Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft made a determined effort to appoint black Americans to public office.  By contrast, Wilson defended the Ku Klux Klan in passages that later appeared in D.W. Griffith's infamous film The Birth of a Nation, which Wilson screened at the White House.  After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Democrat president Franklin Roosevelt snubbed black, four-time gold medal winner Jesse Owens from a reception honoring exclusively white American competitors.  Owens might have counted himself lucky, however, comparing his treatment with that of other racial minorities during Roosevelt's reign.  In 1942, Roosevelt arrested and interned more than 100,000 Japanese Americans, while curiously sparing Americans of German and Italian descent, by executive order.  Lyndon Johnson has the laudable distinction of becoming the only Democrat president in history to sign a Civil Rights Act, albeit a century after Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 over Democrat president Andrew Johnson's veto.

Racist Hall Pass For Joe Donnelly and Hillary Clinton.  Why are Hillary Clinton and Sen. Joe Donnelly getting a free pass for their racist comments?  Seriously?  Why is the former Secretary of State not being vilified by Don Lemon on CNN for saying that black people, "all look alike?" Why is Chris Matthews of MSNBC not calling for the resignation of Indiana Democrat Joe Donnelly for saying that his state campaign director is Indian-America, "BUT" he does a great job?

Lester Holt Once Dressed As Woman In 'Whiteface,' Jimmy Fallon In Blackface.  NBC was aghast that Megyn Kelly said it was once OK to color your skin during Halloween when she was a kid.  "But what is racist?" she said on her NBC morning show last week.  "Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.  Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character."  Kelly was quickly drummed out of NBC and accused of being a racist.  Now, before we go on, we want to point out that Kelly didn't actually appear in blackface, dressed up like, say, Aunt Jemima.  She just said those words.

Latinos are waking up to the duplicity of the Democrats.  With a little more than a week left until the midterm elections, Democrats appear to be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  The matchups were theirs to lose, and they seem poised to underperform in a bunch of them.  A reader recently asked me:  "I don't understand why Latinos are not motivated to vote against a bigoted POTUS and willing enablers."  I can help with that.  The answer has to do with how Latinos feel about Donald Trump, and how they feel about Democrats as an alternative.

Limbaugh: If A Republican Said What Hillary Said About Booker, They'd Be 'Finished'.  On Monday [10/29/2018], Rush Limbaugh highlighted a topic that inevitably comes up frequently on his radio show:  Democratic hypocrisy — and, more particularly, Democratic hypocrisy on the issue of racially charged comments.  Limbaugh took a moment to give twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a chance to demonstrate once again why she lost against a former reality TV star with the media unified against him and the worst likability score of any presidential candidate since pollsters first coined the term "likability."

Hillary Clinton Says Blacks 'All Look Alike,' Then Laughs As Audience Applauds.  Now "can you imagine" Trump — or any Republican — saying that and getting a pass from the mainstream media?  Of course not.  The most hilarious thing is that Clinton had just delivered a haughty speech before she made the highly inappropriate and racist joke.  "What's often called political correctness is politeness.  It's respecting the diversity that we have in our society," she said.

Hillary Clinton jokes that all blacks 'look alike' after interviewer confuses Eric Holder with Cory Booker.  Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a joke that all blacks 'look alike' after an interviewer botched a question and mixed up two prominent African American politicians.

Hillary Clinton Jokes About Confusing Eric Holder with Corey Booker:  "They all look alike".  Failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and women's rights advocate Kara Swisher sat down for a live podcast and taping in New York City.  The media has focused on Mrs. Clinton remarks:  "I want to be president", which can be seen in the interview at 00:33:40.  However, there's also an alarming joke told by Clinton that reflects her tone-deaf racial perspective.  At the 01:04:30 moment of the interview Ms. Swisher mistakes Corey Booker for Eric Holder and Mrs. Clinton replies:  "I know they all look alike".  [Video clip]


"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:  for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

Al Sharpton's reaction to Trump hosting young black leaders in MAGA 'caps' is worth the price of admission.  Notorious race-baiter Rev. Al Sharpton believes that President Donald Trump's decision to allow Turning Points USA to host its Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House this year is somehow, someway wrong and perhaps even blatantly racist.  "It's one of the lowest things he could ever do," Sharpton complained Friday evening on MSNBC. "To go in the East Room, which is sacred, have a staged rally.  Notice that all of those youngsters had caps on.  It was almost like we're going to dress you for the photo.  And to call it a young black leader summit...."

The Editor says...
 Mr. Sharpton's horrified reaction at the sight of young blacks happy to visit a Republican president in the White House is disturbing.  It is as if Mr. Sharpton believes that all blacks are somehow under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Democratic Party.

Blexit: In My Own Words.  When I uploaded my first video onto YouTube one year ago, I entitled it "Mom, Dad, I'm a Conservative."  It was a two-minute satirical stab at the social exiling that many Americans face when they announce their conservatism to friends and family.  Soon thereafter I would discover that for black Americans, the punishment that awaits is far worse than any social exile: it is a full-court social lynching.

Kanye West designed 'Blexit' shirts calling for black people to leave the Democratic Party.  Rapper Kanye West is the designer of the "Blexit" shirts encouraging black people to leave the Democratic Party.  The shirts, which are a play off "Brexit" in the United Kingdom, were introduced Saturday at Turning Point USA's Young Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C.  "Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West," said the group's communications director, Candace Owens, according to Page Six.

Kanye West designed T-shirts urging black people to leave Democratic Party in a 'Blexit'.  Kanye West has reportedly designed T-shirts urging black people to leave the Democratic Party in a "Blexit."  The shirts first appeared at Turning Point USA's Young Black Leadership Summit Saturday in Washington, according to the New York Post's Page Six.  They advocate for a black exit or "Blexit" from the party.  "Blexit is a renaissance and I am blessed to say that this logo, these colors, were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero Kanye West," Turning Point USA's communications director, Candace Owens, told Page Six.

Kanye West and the Fugitive Slave Law.  After rapper Kanye West's appearance with Donald Trump at the White House, the progressives unleashed their cable news and twitter bloodhounds to pursue West and drag him back to the Democrat plantation.  Commentators who relentlessly police language for racial slurs no matter how barely detectable, suddenly were reveling in old demeaning insults like "minstrel show" and "token," new ones like "Negro" (which I'm betting few of us know is now a slur), and idiotic ones like being a spokesman for "white supremacy."  The warning is clear for black dissidents, [...]

Blacks Like Trump?  Don't Blame Kanye.  The problem for Democrats is that blacks are leaving their political plantation in increasing droves.  In a bit of irony, they are pouring across ideologically open borders.  Heeding candidate Trump's call of "what [..] do you have to lose," they have found they had nothing to lose by embracing the rising job opportunities, declining unemployment, and reduced crime those racist Republicans were offering compared to life in the gerrymandered inner-city Bantustans where liberal Democrats have held sway for decades.  Kanye West represents that increasing stampede, but he is a symptom, not the cause.  He must be crazy, CNN and MSNBC tell blacks.

Liberalism:  An Intrinsically Uncivil Ideology.  [Scroll down]  Notice that the same media burbling over the Hillary-Holder call for a suspension of civility until liberals claw back to power tut-tutted Kanye West's remarks on Thursday [10/11/2018] in the Oval Office. [...] It was all too much for them.  MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, whose maturity level is roughly that of an elementary school student, declared Kanye West's presence in the Oval Office a degradation, though surely his high-spirited if rough remarks soiled that august office less than the pastimes of one of her favorite presidents, Bill Clinton.  The media's meltdown over Kanye's trip to the Oval Office reflects nothing more than its horrified realization that Trump is eating the left's lunch, poaching more and more voters from once-monopolized lib constituencies.  Apparently Kanye West is supposed to check with the central office of the Left's Ministry of Truth before opening his mouth.  Anything less is "surreal," according to the media.

Klavan: Kanye West Exposes The Left.  Bestselling author and Daily Wire podcast host Andrew Klavan took it to CNN on Friday's episode of "The Andrew Klavan Show."  Kanye West's meeting with President Trump, he explained, accomplished one great thing for the country:  it exposed the leftist media's true colors.  "So Kanye West hugged the President, that's the thing that drove everybody crazy.  That was the moment, that's the thing that drove them over the edge," Klavan said.  Klavan particularly zeroed in on CNN hosts Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon for their over-the-top language criticizing West, while also highlighting the rapper's persistence in taking on the Left.

Evidence Dems are panicking over black voters.  Blacks have done far better under Trump than Obama in terms of rising employment opportunities and rising wages.  The growth in manufacturing employment in particular has pushed up wages in the segments of the labor market with heavy black participation.  Few people of any color prefer life on food stamps and unemployment insurance to gainful employment at rising wages.

Herschel Walker calls for CNN to fire Don Lemon over 'racist' Kanye West criticism.  Football legend-turned-activist Herschel Walker is calling for CNN to fire Don Lemon after the "CNN Tonight" host laughed when rapper Kanye West was referred to as "the token negro of the Trump administration" during a segment that aired Tuesday night [10/9/2018].  The segment — which has been slammed as "racist" — began with Lemon asking if President Donald Trump is simply "using Kanye as a prop to win over black voters before the midterms."  CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers responded with a jab at West.  "Anti-intellectualism simply isn't cool," Sellers said.  "Kanye West is what happens when Negros don't read."

Why CNN Must Destroy Kanye West.  "Kanye West is what happens when negroes don't read," said CNN commentator Bakari Sellers Tuesday night.  "Donald Trump is going to use it and pervert it, and he's going to have somebody who can stand with him and take pictures."  "Black folks are about to trade Kanye in the racial draft," said CNN's Tara Setmayer.  "They've had it with him.  He's an attention whore like the president.  He's ... the token negro of the Trump administration."  "No one should be taking Kanye West seriously," she added.  "He clearly has issues; he's already been hospitalized."

Don Lemon mocks 'minstrel' Kanye West.  Not satisfied with presiding over a panel that called Kanye West an illiterate "token Negro," CNN host Don Lemon went on a rant Thursday [10/11/2018] in which he said the rap star was a mentally unbalanced "minstrel" being exploited by whites.  In a segment Thursday on his network's "The Situation Room" show, Mr. Lemon also said that every black person watching Mr. West's White House appearance earlier in the day was "cringing."

The Editor says...
 It's nice of Don Lemon to speak on behalf of "every black person," but isn't he supposed to check with Jesse Jackson first?

CNN Slammed as 'Full Blown Racist' After Commentators Call Kanye West 'Token Negro'.  CNN is being accused of racism after commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer bashed rapper Kanye West over his support for Trump on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, going so far as to call him a "token negro."  "Kanye West is what happens when negroes don't read," CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said, in reference to an old Chris Rock bit.

In His First Day On The Job, Kavanaugh Hired As Many Black Law Clerks As RBG Has In Her Entire Tenure.  Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation's highest judicial tribunal.  With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court's hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools.  Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.

The Black Community's Mid-Term Surprise for Democrats.  The polling in the black community for Trump is light years ahead of any other Republican candidate.  That migration to Trump represents a migration to Republicans.  Democrat never envisioned Trump making such an impact.  They figured tagging Trump as a racist would quell any potential black support.

African-American Support for Trump Surges to 35%.  Evidence of a so-called "Kanye Effect" began to show up in the polls in April after the rapper Kanye West declared his support for President Trump.  A Reuters poll, conducted April 29th, put Trump's approval among black men at 22 percent, while the poll taken the month prior put that figure at 11 percent.  According to the latest figures out of Rasmussen, Trump's approval rating among voters is now 51 percent overall — with 35 percent support from blacks.

Kanye's Not Alone:  Blacks Are Deserting the Dems.  In the midst of the Kavanaugh madness, a fascinating development passed relatively under the radar Thursday [10/4/2018]. [...] Somebody isn't buying it — and it's not just Kanye West.  If this number grows just a little bit, the Democratic Party is in deep trouble.  The party relies for its electoral power on overwhelming support from African-Americans, a dependency in itself inherently racist and suffused with reactionary identity politics.

Kanye's Right; Slavery Never Ended Because Progressives Use the Law to Enslave.  The irony is absolutely delicious.  Republicans have been using the fact that Republican president Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and the Republican Party passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitutions as their shields against attacks of racism.  Now here is Kanye saying those accomplishments weren't really achieved.  Now, I will be honest.  I have no idea what Kanye West meant with this tweet.  I've watched Kanye West for years.  I'm not going to assume ignorance, manipulation, or trolling for the next album sale.  I'm sure he'll explain himself in due time.  However, I'd like to get some understanding to the conservatives and Republicans who jumped on the Kanye West bandwagon for all the wrong reasons.

Poll: Plurality of Latinos 'Less Likely to Vote' for Candidates Who Want to Abolish ICE.  A plurality of Latino voters are "less likely to vote" for a candidate in the 2018 midterm elections who supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll.  The poll, released on Sunday, found that 36% of Hispanic voters said they are "less likely to vote" for a candidate who "favors abolishing ICE" while 33% said they are "more likely to vote."  Another 26% said there is "no difference" and 5% said they were "not sure."

Ted Cruz Opponent Beto O'Rourke Says Police Are 'The New Jim Crow'.  At an event at Prairie View A&M University in Texas on Wednesday, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Beto O'Rourke agreed with the assertion that the police are "the new Jim Crow."  The Texas Democrat began his remarks by talking about the historic injustices against African-Americans in the criminal justice system, saying it began when prisons began colluding with local business and employers to arrest African-Americans for petty crime so they could force them to work on a chain gang.  "That injustice, to many more people here than I know firsthand, continues to persist today," Beto O'Rourke said.

Beto O'Rourke to Black American:  Illegal Immigrant Labor Needed for Cotton Gin.  During a town hall event on Wednesday night, Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) — running against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the Senate seat — told a black American who questioned his support of illegal immigration that illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico are today's cotton pickers.  O'Rourke's remarks were made after a black American asked the congressman if he supported illegal aliens being given U.S. citizenship despite breaking the country's immigration laws.  O'Rourke responded by saying that it is illegal aliens who are working at cotton gins today.

Beto O'Rourke to Black Student:  Illegals Needed to Pick Cotton.  A truly incredible video posted from a Texas town hall Wednesday night shows Senate candidate Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke telling a black student that America needs illegal alien laborers to work cotton gin, comparing their work to slave labor.  "My question is, do you support granting citizenship and American-paid benefits to illegal aliens who violated our country to come here, who fly their foreign flags here, who have citizenship in their countries and whose families did absolutely not build this country, while black people are subject to things that you explained before?  You can answer yes or no, please," a black student asked O'Rourke.

Has Sen. Chuck Schumer's Own Racist History Comes Back To Bite Him?  Democrat Minority leader Chuck Schumer has always been one to call Republicans 'racist.' He's done it repeatedly to Donald Trump, tried to paste the label on the late Justice Alito and has promised to attack Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions,the judge who destroyed the Klu Klau Klan in Alabama as a 'racist' as well.  As it turns out, it appears Senator Schumer may be living in a glass house when it comes accusing anyone of racism.  As conservative talk show host Larry Elder relates, we have an eyewitness account of how Chuck Schumer started of his career as a New York State Assemblyman in 1974 by concocted a disgustingly racist scheme to push blacks out of a white neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.  He convinced people living in the neighborhood that if they supported him, he would use his clout to defraud the blacks living in the neighborhood and get rid of them.

Media Matters vs.  Blacks.  Having dispatched Alex Jones from most every public platform on the face of the earth, the left is looking to engage more targets.  With an insatiable appetite to remove conservative thought from the public square, they have found a new whipping boy to thrash.  His name is Jesse Lee Peterson, and his face is being plastered on liberal "Most Wanted" posters for his "white supremacist content."  In an odd twist, it turns out that Mr. Peterson is a black man whose family worked on a plantation in Alabama.  His personal history is replete with being born in the Jim Crow south and overcoming many obstacles.  He is someone who intimately understands racism.  But pay no attention, because Media Matters has labeled Peterson "a far-right radio host and media personality."  And his crime appears to be that he's successful.

Michelle Obama urges non-white women to vote.  Why does she assume they'll go Dem?  Former first lady Michelle Obama is partnering with Black Entertainment Television to prompt women of color to vote during the 2018 midterm elections in November.  Obama "has a special message" for women of color, in a one-minute advertisement released Sunday.  "Help your sisters, children, and congregations get registered and ready to vote!" BET tweeted.

Faking Your Way to Racial Equality.  The National Center for Fair and Open Testing argues that teachers illicitly boosting student test scores is endemic.  Such deception is particularly alluring at schools with large populations of underperforming minority students, where the dismal numbers can bring school closings or mass firings.  Such cheating has been documented in Atlanta; Baltimore; and Washington, D.C. as well as in schools in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and elsewhere.  They are, according to the center, just "the tip of the iceberg.  Cheating may simply entail erasing the wrong answers and replacing them with the correct ones.  Less blatant tactics include strongly hinting at the correct answer during the test under the guise of "helping" the puzzled test-taker, using similar test questions in classroom lessons, or just teaching the test and little else.  One teacher has even written a guide for potential cheaters that includes tips to minimize getting caught — for instance, allowing unauthorized extra time by putting a "do not enter" sign on the classroom door.

Leftists Are Now Advocating Racial Segregation.  If you don't like a leftist position, just wait a while.  It'll change.  A good example of this is how while liberals fought racial segregation decades ago, now they increasingly are advocating it.  Just consider that at George Mason University (GMU) recently, a separate orientation was held for black students.  As The College Fix reports, "The event was called the 'Black Freshman Orientation.'  Hosted by the Black Student Alliance, the additional orientation occurred on August 25 at the university.  It has become an annual event there."  "Incoming black freshmen at GMU did not have to attend the Black Freshman Orientation, and if they decided to attend, they still were required to go to the university's regular orientation as well, according to the university," the site continues.

University hosts separate orientation for black freshmen.  Incoming freshmen at George Mason University recently had the opportunity to attend another orientation created specifically for black students.  The event was called the "Black Freshman Orientation."  Hosted by the Black Student Alliance, the additional orientation occurred on August 25 at the university.  It has become an annual event there.  Incoming black freshmen at GMU did not have to attend the Black Freshman Orientation, and if they decided to attend, they still were required to go to the university's regular orientation as well, according to the university.

Enemies Within.  It is mind-boggling that without any evidence, leftists have successfully falsely branded Trump the same as Hitler in the minds of many of my fellow blacks.  In reality, Trump is the best thing for blacks since sliced bread.  Black unemployment is at historic lows.  I am encouraged that young blacks are on the national stage informing blacks about the American left's deceptions and betrayals.

6.3%: African-American Unemployment Rate Second-Lowest Ever.  The midterm election is about "safety and jobs," President Trump told a campaign rally in Montana Thursday night [9/6/2018].  He said the economy is "booming like never before," and on Friday, the unemployment report brought the president more good news: the unemployment rate for African Americans, 6.3 percent, is the second lowest on record (it was 5.9 percent in May); and job-growth remains strong.  For Hispanics, the unemployment rate increased two-tenths of a point from last month's record low of 4.5 percent.  And the overall unemployment rate remained at a low 3.9 percent.  The number of jobs added — 201,000 — exceeded analysts' expectations.

LBJ'S Democratic Plantation.  The progressive narrative begins by crediting President Lyndon Johnson almost single-handedly for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  This focus on LBJ is critical because progressives don't want to admit that proportionately, more Republicans in Congress voted for those laws than Democrats.  The main opposition to the civil rights movement didn't come from the Republican Party; it came from the Democratic Party.  These inconvenient truths are skipped through a singular focus on LBJ.  Progressives know that LBJ, in his early career, was a bigot and a segregationist.  He was part of the most racist wing of the Democratic Party.  Yet progressives like [Eric] Rauchway and his sidekick Kevin Kruse have turned LBJ into one of their great icons.

Kanye West Goes All In To Win Black Community Over For Trump.  Kanye West told a radio station during an interview on Wednesday that President Donald Trump wants to be the greatest president ever for the black community and Trump is going to "work towards" achieving that goal.  "I feel that he cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this," West told WGCI 107.5.  "And he will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he's got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can't be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community," West continued.

Dinesh D'Souza's Film 'Death of a Nation' Exposes Democrats' 'Big Lie'.  One of the most striking things revealed in the film is that the Democratic Party was behind slavery, is linked to the Ku Klux Klan and has a long history of racism, and yet Democrats and progressives today say Republicans are racist.

Candace Owens:  Paris Dennard Faces 'Public Lynching' for Supporting Trump.  Prominent conservative commentator Candace Owens tweeted Thursday morning that the media were attempting a "public lynching" of fellow black conservative Paris Dennard because he had proven an effective advocate for President Donald Trump.

Black Trump supporters aren't Republicans.  Some conservatives are buoyed by an uptick in approval of President Trump among black voters.  Rasmussen said it doubled in the past year to 36%.  Given that black voters supply one-fourth of the Democratic Party votes, that is not insignificant.  This is the result of two things.
  [#1]   Obama failed to deliver jobs to his black constituency.
  [#2]   President Trump has.

Trump Approval Ratings with Black Voters Soars to New All-Time High at 36%.  In the last ten presidential election cycles the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996.  If Donald Trump captured 25 percent of the African American vote he would win the 2020 election in a landslide.  If Republicans were to peel off even 25% of black voters from the Democrat Party — Democrats would be the minority party for decades.

Apoplectic critics can't answer Dinesh D'Souza's ideas.  The over the top attempt to quarantine and silence D'Souza's movie only serves to support his point:  that fascism emerged on the left.  What does D'Souza say in the movie.  Let me list a few points I took from it, all of which can be discussed rationally and calmly between people of good will.  On the national front,
  [#1]   Lincoln was a Republican, indeed the first Republican President.
  [#2]   The Democrats he ran against were largely supporters of slavery, both Southern Democrats and Northern Democrats.
  [#3]   The [Ku] Klux Klan was an organ of the Democratic Party designed to suppress voter rights in the South.
  [#4]   Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, was an arch segregationist, who showed Birth of a Nation at the White House, leading to a re-invigoration of the Klan in American life.
  [#5]   The segregationist Dixiecrats were Democrats, including George Wallace and most all of the the bestial Southern sheriffs during the Civil Rights Movement.
  [#6]   Many Democrat politicians basically had an agenda of keeping urban Northern blacks dependent and thus loyal to the Democratic Party.  So much so that some black leaders today are calling the urban ghettos the "urban plantation.
  [#7]   Republicans have been largely dense and oblivious to many of these problems, and kept aloof in the suburbs, leaving the field to corrupt big city boss Democrats.  Only one segregationist Democratic senator, Strom Thurmond, and one Democratic congressman actually switched parties.
  [#8]   Robert Byrd, a former Dragon of the Klan, remained a Democrat till his death and was lionized by the leaders of Democratic Party[.]

Democrats Have Become What They Say They Despise.  Earlier this week, Candace Owens, a young black conservative, was shouted out of a restaurant by a white crowd screaming obscenities and racial epithets at her and her dining companion, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk (who is white).  The police had to be called, and the mob shouted obnoxious slurs at the officers as well.  Owens tweeted:  "To be clear:  ANTIFA, an all-white fascist organization, just grew violent and attacked an all-black and Hispanic police force.  "Because I, a BLACK woman, was eating breakfast.  "Is this the civil rights era all over again?"  It is.  And many Democrats are on the wrong side.

Death of a Nation Movie Exposes History Embarrassing to American Left.  Don't expect the liberal media to give you an accurate review of this movie.  The Washington Post's scathing review offered little in way of telling readers what the movie was actually about, dismissing it as riddled with historical inaccuracies, without offering much in the way of examples.  While D'Souza certainly pushes the historical envelope at times, his motion picture is much closer to the truth than the "review" offered by the Post. [...] Perhaps most devastating for the Democrat myth that all the segregationists became Republicans, the film notes that only two out of dozens of office-holding segregationists in Congress switched to Republican — Albert Watson of the House and Strom Thurmond of the Senate.  On the contrary, as documented in the movie, Bill and Hillary Clinton actually praised arch-segregationist and former Klan recruiter Robert C. Byrd upon his death.

Black Pastor Calls for Crushing the Evil Welfare State.  Alex Newman spoke with Reverend Matthew Cummings about overcoming the welfare state that has swelled in the U.S.  [Video clip]

Why On Earth Do Minorities Still Vote Democrat?  [Scroll down]  In fact if anyone has a problem with the historic mistreatment of the Native American and recall their 'Trail of Tears', they can blame [Andrew] Jackson and his successor, Martin Van Buren for this.  It's a wonder that Fauxcahontas, Elizabeth Warren, who claims solidarity with Native Americans manages to do so and still be a Democrat.  I strongly recommend that seekers of the truth watch Mr. D'Souza's You Tube video 'exposing the secret life of LBJ'.  He asserts that LBJ was a former Klansman along with several other high ranking Democrats and that no Republican has ever owned a slave.  In fact so much of what we know about the civil rights movement in the '60's has been a tissue of lies and misinformation. [...] It was the Dixiecrats like Bull Conner, Lester Maddox and George Wallace who fought against the Civil Rights Act.  Al Gore's father, Sen. Al Gore Sr. was one of these and filibustered against its passage.

It's Not 'White Threat' Harming Our Politics, It's Tying Race To Destiny.  People vote as individuals, but progressives too often see them only as groups, the sum of their intersections.  The demographic argument suggests that DNA determines our votes more than free will does, in a weird secular pre-destinationism.  The tenor of that argument changed as 2016's election approached.  Neutral recitation of the facts gave way in some writers' work to gleeful anticipation of white people's diminution.  As the intersectional movement moved from academia to mainstream, some on the far-left dropped the powerful liberal idea of color-blind equality in favor of a system of permanent conflict between races, religions, ethnicities, and classes.  All differences were deemed vectors of oppression, and the cause of it all was white people.

Rasmussen: Black approval rating of Trump now at 29%.  If this figure reported in Rasmussen's daily presidential tracking poll Friday is anywhere close to accurate, Democrats are closing in on a crisis.  While to poll results available to the general public reported on the Rasmussen Reports website do not contain the racial breakdown (Rasmussen pays its bills by selling detailed breakdowns of its polling results to political pros), so notable was the figure that Rasmussen tweeted out a notice: [...]

Report: Abortion Accounts for 61% of Black Deaths in America.  A report Thursday [8/2/2018] analyzed research using data from the latest year for which all the pertinent information is available (2009) and found that induced abortion was responsible for 1.152 million deaths, making it the number one cause of death in the U.S. at nearly twice the number of deaths from heart disease (599,413) and cancer (567,628).  While abortion accounted for nearly a third of all U.S. deaths in 2009 (32.1 percent), more troubling still, it made up 61.1 percent of African American deaths, according to the study published in the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine (June 2016).

The Editor says...
 I don't know if you black people have noticed, but the Democrats want to exterminate you.  If a continuous supply of food stamps is more important to you, then by all means vote Democrat!

Liberal Mob Attacks Sacramento Pastor for Sitting and Speaking to President Trump.  Earlier this week President Donald Trump met with a group of inner city pastors in the White House.  Paster Dr. Phillip Goudeaux from Sacramento told President Trump:  "Don't give up on California."  Now Pastor Goudeaux is facing backlash for sitting with and speaking to Donald Trump at the White House.

Doubts About the Victimhood Narrative.  If even a third of America's black citizens shared the views of Jason Hill, a 1985 Jamaican immigrant to this country, the Democratic Party as currently constituted would not exist.  Consequently, Hill and black Americans with similar views are despised and vilified by "compassionate" Dems and by blacks who've embraced the victim status assigned to them by Alt-Left politicians and academicians like Cornel West and Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Chicago's Blacks Turn against Rahmbo.  When President Trump announced that the unconstitutional DACA program, put in place by President Obama after Congress refused to pass it into law, would be allowed to expire unless Congress took action on border security, former White House chief of staff and current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel (aka "Rahmbo") announced that Chicago would become a "Trump-free zone," a sanctuary city welcoming and protecting any and all illegal aliens. [...] The problem is that he forgot the beleaguered African-Americans in his city burdened by debt and high taxes as its citizens fight poverty, joblessness, and high crime rates.  They have dreams too, such as getting to school alive or being able to do their homework with a bullet piercing their bedroom window.

Dinesh D'Souza: 'Bigotry' Is 'Unifying Glue' for 'Progressives and the Democratic Party'.  D'Souza explained his latest book and documentary's shared title and thesis:  "The reason we did that title is a hundred years ago, a progressive Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, screened in the White House the movie Birth of a Nation, and the hero of the movie was the Ku Klux Klan.  Basically, the progressive Democrats were saying, 'We don't like the American founding.  Forget about all that.  We're starting the country all over again,' and I guess it's the thesis of my book and movie that if that logic is played out, America as we know it will be killed off.  Certainly the America of the founding will be extinguished."

Uh-oh!
 Watch Hispanic And Black Faith Leaders Thank Trump One-By-One For 'Empowering' Them.  This week, President Trump hosted urban pastors at the White House for a roundtable on religion.  No networks covered the event, but the White House posted footage of the remarks on youtube afterward.  Trump opened up the meeting by saying "Throughout our history, America's churches and religious leaders have called for change and have inspired us to care for and bring hope back to those in need."  Trump then opened the floor to the mostly black or Hispanic pastors.  The pastors praised Trump as a "friend" who has "empowered" Christians in the White House.  Pastor Darrell Scott, longtime member of the National Diversity Coalition for Trump, called Trump "the most pro-black President that we've had in our lifetime."

Black Pastor:  Trump 'Probably Going to Be... Most Pro-Black President That We've Had in Our Lifetime'.  Donald Trump will probably be "the most pro-black president we've had in our lifetime," Pastor Darrell Scott said during a White House meeting with inner city pastors Trump held on Wednesday [8/1/2018].  Scott said Trump "actually wants to prove something" to the black community while former President Barack Obama "didn't feel like he had to."

Getting Democrats to walk away.  The Walk Away movement by Democrats who now support President Trump was led by Candace Owens and Kanye West.  The movement is part of the plan to counter the Marxist approach of Democrats to divide people by race, sex, sex preference, and education in order to conquer America.  Republicans have tried going Democratic lite on social issues in a pathetic attempt to woo these demographic groups. [...] As for his outreach to African-Americans, Trump in August 2016 gave a series of speeches that were brilliant in their message and venues.  "Look at how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic Control.  To those hurting, I say: what do you have to lose by trying something new?" Donald John Trump told a rally.  In Dimondale, Michigan.  Population 1,243.  93% white.  He made similar speeches in other largely white, rural places before finally going to a black church in Detroit.  The press laughed.  They said he was wasting his time making his black speeches to white audiences.

How Far Will the Left Go?  All the Way.  [Scroll down]  Like an opportunistic cancer, the Left finds the weak spots and pounces, often retroactively.  The Declaration of Independence says "all men are created equal," and yet all men were manifestly not equal, and thus the American Founding is morally indefensible; that what the Founders meant were "equal in the eyes of God" and what the socialist Left means is "economically equal," is passed over.  Similarly, the reductive Left has transformed what we used to call Italians, Germans, French, English, Irish, Russians, Poles, Greeks, and other ethnic/national groups of European origin into "white people," the better to identify them as the "other" — freaks and monsters — and pit them against Latin America, Africa, and Asia in a cultural-Marxist reboot of the class struggle, now crudely and reprehensibly racialized.

The Top 50 Liberal Media Bias Examples.  [#9] KKK Double Standard:  There are two stories (or one story and a lack of the other story) that shows how differently the media treats conservatives and Democrats on the issue of the KKK and the two stories can be summed up in two names:  Trent Lott and Robert Byrd.  Even though the Democrat Party is the party from which the KKK was born, the media constantly burdens Republicans with the epithet of being Klan members.  In 2002 for instance, GOP Senate Majority leader Trent Lott from Mississippi attended a retirement party of long-time Senator Strom Thurmond, famed for his anti-Civil Rights activism of the early 1960s.  At the party Lott praised Thurmond's career and said that, "If the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either."  Lott later called this was a "poor choice of words."  The media, however, instantly whipped the story up into national news.  So much so, in fact, that Lott had to step down as GOP leader.  Lott's poor choice of words cost him his powerful position.  Some may say that it is good that someone with a racist past would be turned out of power and that the Old Media did its job properly.  But if defeating racism was really the media's goal, why did it never attack Democrat Senator Robert Byrd who became the longest serving Senator in history?  After all Robert Byrd was an actual member of the KKK in the 1930s and 40s, even served as a recruiter for that hate group.  Yet the media never bothered to question him on his membership in the KKK until 2005 only a few short years before his death.  Obvious destroying Trent Lott, not rooting out racism, was the Old Media's goal here and it illustrates well the left's double standard on the issue.

Pastor: Black Voters Should Leave Pro-Abortion Democrat Party:  "It's a Metaphorical Slave Ship".  A black pastor is telling it like it is wen it comes to the pro-abortion Democratic Party and black voters.  Bishop E.W. Jackson says the party has done nothing for black voters and it continues supporting unlimited abortions which prey on black babies.  In comments LifeNews received, Jackson said, "After eight years of the first black President, the black community is worse off now than it was when he was elected.  The Democrat Party has become nothing more than a metaphorical slave ship, holding black voters captive, taking them where they don't want to go, while telling them they're on a luxury cruise.  It is time to abandon ship."  In 2008, 96% of African-Americans voted for Obama.  Jackson believes they got "nothing in return for their loyalty."

Progressive politics have done nothing to help black America.  African Americans are the quintessential example of it means to be conservative.  Beyond the fact that a great majority are socially conservative, a great majority are also distrusting of the government because of hundreds of years of generational experience, and are skeptical of radical change because it typically negatively and disproportionately impacted them.  If you dive deeper, beyond politics, it is our discipline, perseverance, and ingenuity since slavery, coupled with the need to preserve our tradition and culture as a community that is not intrinsic values of the radical progressive left but are the greatest examples of traditional conservatism.  The effectiveness of America's radical left and their uncanny ability to usurp African American's natural ideological instincts for their warped utopian views are the most significant threat to African American progress.  Under the false pretense of cultural and identity politics, they have circumvented having to produce tangible results to holistically address the real concerns of African Americans.

Black Slaves, Muslim Masters: An appeal to American blacks.  Arabs and Muslims have black slaves today and hardly anyone, especially the leftist class which preens about its devotion to human rights, is screaming about this.  In five African nations — Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Sudan — blacks serve Arab/Muslim masters.  They are bought and sold like furniture.  They are worked until they drop, tortured, raped, forcibly converted to Islam, and murdered.  This has been going on for many years, but it only occasionally makes today's headlines.  This is an open secret.  Anyone can Google "blacks sold as slaves in Libya" and see video of slave markets.  I know Africans from Sudan and Nigeria and Mauritania who want to tell this story but they cannot get platforms.  Below is a short clip of the testimony of an escaped slave from Sudan, Francis Bok.  Here is his incredible story told in long form.  I have decided to help these people tell their story.  The people who need to hear it most are American blacks.

Fury as feminist activist says she's 'confused' seeing black man with pro-NRA and Tea Party bumper-stickers.  An activist author ignited a social media firestorm on Thursday after saying she was left "very confused" seeing a black man with a pro-NRA and Tea Party bumper sticker on his car.  Kimberley Johnson, a feminist contributor to HuffPost and the spokeswoman for the national advocacy group We Are Woman, was slammed for questioning why a black person would not embrace progressive politics.  "Out on the road the other day I saw an affluent black man driving a BMW with two bumper-stickers.  One was pro-NRA and the other one was a Tea Party sticker that read, 'Don't tread on me,'" she wrote in a now-deleted tweet.  "This left me very confused."

The Next American Revolution: #WalkAway.  Democrats who believe that they have a permanent hold on the African-American vote should take a look at how these voters view their position on immigration.  A recent Harvard-Harris survey found that African-Americans are the racial group most opposed to unlimited immigration.  Whereas 79 percent of whites want to prioritize legal immigrants based on what they can contribute to our society, fully 85 percent of African-Americans hold that view.  A party that advocates open borders and the abolition of ICE is going to get fewer and fewer of their votes.

Has Chuck Schumer's Own Racist History Comes Back To Bite Him?  Democrat Minority leader Chuck Schumer has always been one to call Republicans 'racist.' He's done it repeatedly to Donald Trump, tried to paste the label on the late Justice Alito and has promised to attack Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions,the judge who destroyed the Klu Klau Klan in Alabama as a 'racist' as well.  As it turns out, it appears Senator Schumer may be living in a glass house when it comes [to] accusing anyone of racism.

Illegal Aliens:  The New Black Vote for Democrats.  First it was the hilariously viral YouTube sensations "Diamond & Silk" supporting Trump during his 2016 Presidential campaign.  Then, it was Kanye West shocking the world with his vehement support of President Trump on TMZ Live, touting all the wonderful things that Trump has done for the Black community.  Remember, this is the same guy who said back in 2005 during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe that President Bush "doesn't care about Black people."  He has now woken up to the Democrat scam and is making an effort to wake his fellow Blacks up to it.  Then there was Candace Owens of Turning Point USA, who has been on an aggressive nationwide campaign exposing the Democratic Party for what it truly is — A communist, socialist, racist organization that has presided over the massive unemployment, massive genocide (via abortion), and massive economic slavery (in the form of family-destroying welfare programs) of poor Black minorities in the U.S. since the 1960s.  Then finally, your average everyday grassroots Black voter has finally woken up to the 50-year Democratic scam.

Asian Americans need to wise up and end our blind loyalty to the Democratic Party.  For all their smarts, Asian Americans can be pretty dumb.  They support Democrats in droves, and Democrats support race-based affirmative action.  Last week, a lawsuit revealed just how discriminatory that kind of decision-making can be.  At Harvard, racial balancing — in the guise of a personality score for applicants — appears to be systematically reducing the admission of Asian American students to the university.  The Harvard scandal contains a lot of takeaways, but here's the one I hope sticks with my fellow Asian Americans:  It's time for us to end our blind loyalty to the Democratic Party and support instead politicians who will promote our interests.

The Party Of Planned Parenthood Is Not A Family-Friendly Party.  The left opposes Trump and his attempts to halt illegal immigration for two reasons:  [#1] They need to replace the black voter, whose vote the Democrat party has depended on for the last 40 years, but who have recently realized the harm that liberalism has done to them and their families, and the replacement voters will be unemployed, poorly educated immigrants that the Democrat party will promise to house and feed in exchange for their vote.  [#2] Poor, uneducated immigrants are an easy weapon with which to criticize President Trump as he tries to keep his campaign promise to stop this illegal flow of invaders out of our country.

The Left and Children.  Even longer than they have ignored the right to life, American liberals have worked to build a massive welfare state that has played a terrible role in the destruction of the family — especially the black family.  Yesterday [6/20/2018], Rush Limbaugh again reminded Americans which political party enabled generations of children — again, especially black children — to be separated from their parents.  The Democrat Party exists on dependency, and people that escape it pose a problem.  So don't buy that the Democrats care about separated families.  Because, after all, the Democrat Party literally subsidized single motherhood in the black community for decades.  It was called AFDC.  The Democrat Party promoted a welfare policy that gave single women additional money for every child they had.  The father need not ever be around.  In many cases, the father was not even known, the father was not even identified because the Democrat Party assumed the role.

The Anti-Profiling Movement Is Killing Black Pedestrians.  A recent [Washington] Post article that focused on St. Louis led with the perfectly useless headline "Pedestrian deaths soar nationally as SUV use increases."  The reporter made the case that pedestrian deaths nationwide were up 46 percent from 2009 and attributed the increase to there being more SUVs on the road.  This correlation explained close to nothing.  From 2006 to 2013, as SUVs increased in number, pedestrian deaths declined, as did overall auto fatalities, the latter by 25 percent.

Black America's 'Stockholm Syndrome'.  For too long, black America has let its political voice and power be taken for granted.  When Kanye West recently suggested that African-Americans didn't need to be Democrats, Rep. Maxine Waters quickly tried to put him in his place.  Waters told Kanye, in effect, that he needs permission — from his betters, presumably — to say what he believes.  In other words, don't talk out of turn; follow the thinking of the group.  She sounded like a plantation manager of old, insisting that everyone else follow the rules she and other black Democratic leaders set down for "their" people.  Black America's monolithic loyalty to the Democratic Party does not empower blacks, however.  If we are not "allowed" to entertain any political alternatives, we are left locked into a party that has not served our interests.  Call it a kind of collective Stockholm Syndrome:  The condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors.

Black America Walking Off the Cliff.  The pre-welfare black society understood the necessity for respect and responsibility.  From slavery until LBJ's War on Poverty programs, intact black American families were the norm.  The church was the glue that sealed biblical bindings in the hearts and minds of the family.  Fathers governed their households, and young men were less likely to become criminals.  Fornicators and adulterers were unwelcomed parasites.  Premarital pregnancies were a rarity, as they were a cause for shame and reproach.  In 1950, eighty-five years after slavery, the two-parent black household was 78%.  By the mid-sixties, black lives started to matter much less under LBJ's Great Society.  Now, just fifty-three years after the War on Poverty began, the once stable two-parent black household has disintegrated to an abysmal 27%, and the black church is all but silent!  The roots of this catastrophe were sown the minute the black church started trusting in government instead of God.

Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff Throws Tantrum Over Black Grandmother Escaping The Plantation.  And make no mistake, Mr. Schiff speaks for a great many among the liberal elite who are outraged a black grandmother who was imprisoned during the era of Bill Clinton, kept there during the two terms of George W. Bush and Barack Obama, had her sentence commuted by President Trump.  She even had the audacity to publicly thank the president for setting her free!  Apparently, Congressman Schiff feels she should have continued to rot in the white man's prison and most certainly should not be given the freedom to express gratitude to the only POTUS who apparently [cared] about her plight.

The Left Achieves Perfection.  At its core, the modern left is extremely racist.  To the left, blacks exist to vote for leftist candidates.  The technique that the left has embraced to ensure that blacks vote for them is to keep blacks poorly educated, in constant fear, and dependent on the government for their next meal.  Essentially, the modern left has created a new plantation system where taxpayers pay for the needs of blacks.  If a black person tries to leave the left's ideological plantation, he is vilified.  Compare what leftists say about Justice Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, and Candace Owens to what those same leftists say were unbearable racist slurs about Obama, and it's clear that unless blacks toe the leftist line, blacks are hated by the left.

I Have a Dream — About Gay Wedding Cakes.  Midway through the last century, bedrock legal principles about property rights and freedom of association were abrogated to deal with a specific, intractable problem:  We could not get Democrats to stop discriminating against blacks.  So Republicans, with very little Democratic help, passed a slew of laws saying:  No, even though you own that restaurant, you cannot discriminate against black customers.  And no, even though we are a free people, you cannot refuse to associate with black people in your clubs, universities or sports teams.  This should have been a one-time exception to the law for one specific group of people based on an emergency.  But Democrats, never wild about freedom in the first place, saw "civil rights" as a great gig.  Instead of civil rights being used to remedy historic injuries done to a specific group of people, they'd use "civil rights" as a false flag for all their pet projects.

Voters Think Young Blacks Doing Better Under Trump Than Obama.  Voters feel young black Americans are better off under President Trump than they were under Barack Obama, the nation's first black president.  The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey shows that 32% of Likely U.S. Voters believe life for young black Americans has gotten better since Trump's election.  Slightly more (36%) say life for these Americans has gotten worse, while 26% think it has stayed about the same.  But in March 2014, just 16% said life for young black Americans had gotten better since Obama's election five-and-a-half years earlier.  By July 2016 in Obama's final year in office, only 13% thought life was better for young blacks.  Even black voters are nearly twice as likely (28%) to say young black Americans are better off now than they were in the closing year of Obama's presidency (15%).

Whatever the Left Touches it Ruins.  The left has poisoned race relations.  America is the least racist multiracial society in the world.  On a daily basis, Americans of every race and ethnicity get along superbly.  But the black left and the white left constantly poison young minds with hate-filled diatribes against whites, "white privilege," "systemic racism," black dorms, black graduations, lies about the events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the like.

Trump's triumphs are driving his critics crazy.  When rapper Kayne West expressed his support for the young black conservative activist Candace Owens, and then went all the way in his apostasy by declaring his love for — horror of horrors — President Trump, you could practically hear leftist heads exploding all over America.  How could this be?  West is black.  He's cool.  He's popular.  So leftists believe West must hate President Trump, because they believe the president is a racist.  First the left lost their minds — but then they lost their credibility.  How?  By redirecting their hatred of Donald Trump to hatred of ... a black man.  Because now that he's backing President Trump, Kanye West is not really, you know, an authentic member of the black community anymore in the eyes of the Trump-haters.

How to tell Democrats are Racist:  The History.  The founder of the Democrat party owned slaves.  The Democrats fought to maintain slavery in the Civil War.  The Democrats founded the KKK.  The Democrats passed the Jim Crow laws; you know making Blacks drink from different water fountains.  Democrats fought against integrating Southern schools.  Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Democrats instituted a welfare system that destroyed the Black family.

Why Democrats Are Terrified of 'Woke Kanye'.  Turns out, when you're a famous musician with 28 million Twitter followers people are going to sit up and pay attention to what you tweet, regardless of the topic.  So when rapper Kanye West, a man who got over 41,000 likes for tweeting the word "decentralize," lit the social media world on fire last week with a series of tweets seeming to support President Trump, the world was quick to take notice.  Is one of the most successful recording artists of our generation actually 'waking up' to the folly of liberalism?  Has Kanye actually been red-pilled?

Can Kanye West lead a rebellion for black voters?  Two weeks ago, I wrote about Diamond and Silk, the black political commentary duo who have been deemed dangerous for the most peculiar of reasons — they are black AND conservative!  But now it's starting to look like a trend, and the political establishment is growing restless.  Indeed, the latest outburst of "free thought" among black Americans has the potential to change the political dynamic for years to come, thanks to the pivotal role of mega-star Kanye West.

What Leftists Stand For: 
  [#8]   They don't care that cheap illegal labor hurts black people by denying them jobs.
  [#9]   They don't care that their fake climate crisis will drive up energy costs and hurt the poor, who are disproportionately people of color.
  [#10]   They declare that giving inner-city black parents the choice of sending their kids to a school where they will get a good education is "racist."
  [#11]   They don't care that thousands of blacks are shot each year in Democratic-run cities.
  [#12]   They deny witness reports by black crime victims that show that blacks are more likely to commit crimes, though most blacks are law-abiding, and demand that blacks be incarcerated at the same rate as all other groups, ensuring that blacks continue to suffer from black-on-black crime.
  [#13]   They want to take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who never were slaves.
  [#24]   They support discriminating against Asian-Americans based on their race.
  [#25]   They support discriminating against whites based on their race so long as leftist kids aren't discriminated against.
  [#26]   They reject equality of opportunity and embrace equality of result.

Chance the Rapper backs Kanye West: 'Black people don't have to be Democrats'.  Kanye West's blizzard of tweets supporting President Trump won the support of another major hip hop artist — Chance the Rapper.  Chance, whose real name is Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, retweeted one of Mr. West's thoughts about not having to agree with Mr. Trump on everything.  Chance then said Mr. West was fine mentally and the hubbub surrounding him was demeaning.  "Black people don't have to be democrats," Chance said in one tweet.

The High-Tech Lynching of Diamond and Silk.  [Scroll down]  The bottom line here is that the Democrats, already in panic mode over the phony Russia collusion probe evaporating in futility as true Democratic collusion and corruption are revealed, and as the Trump agenda, both domestic and foreign, is succeeding, are terrified that blacks are peeling away from their coalition.  Even a 5-percent swing among blacks would doom the Democratic Party.  Their ideological slavery must be maintained, and black conservatives speaking the truth must be destroyed.  Food stamp usage is in decline, as is black unemployment.  Wages are rising, as is black homeownership.  Congressional blacks like to insist that this is just a continuation of trends begun under Obama, but Obama did not cut regulations; cut taxes; boost domestic energy; rein in the EPA; and unleash entrepreneurs, black and white, freeing them to pursue their dreams unrestrained by government chains.  When you look at crime, particularly gang crime, drugs, and poverty, it is concentrated now in urban areas run by Democratic socialists and progressives.  What answer would the typical black Chicago resident give if asked if he was better off after eight years of Obama?

At the University of Texas, the Left Lynches Its Own.  An Antifa group at the University of Texas at Austin is calling for "revolutionary violence" against assistant professor Robert L. Reece after he wrote a column running afoul of feminist dogma.  Reece isn't the kind of academic that radical leftists typically attack.  Reece checks so many politically correct boxes that he'd normally be immune from criticism.  He's a young black sociologist from a poor community in Mississippi cotton country, deeply involved in issues of intense interest to the Left.  He writes for a publication of the race-obsessed, far-left Southern Poverty Law Center.  His academic research"revolves around the question 'What is race?' as well as inquiries into the historical origins of racial inequality, colorism/skin tone stratification, and racial fluidity."

Ignorance: The Greatest Threat to Black Americans.  Democrats refuse to hold blacks accountable for anything — black on black crime, epidemic school dropouts, out of wedlock births, and generational poverty.  Insidiously, Democrats have totally relieved blacks of all responsibility for their lives.  Democrats have tripled down on teaching black youths that everything wrong is the fault of "white privilege," systematic, cultural, and economic white racism in America.  Deadbeat, lazy blacks are quick to embrace the Democrats' its-all-whitey's-fault narrative.

Can America Survive the Latest Plague?  The left survives within a self-made mirage that uses well written speeches containing caring and poetic language and emotional appeals that appear to be on the side of good, protecting the weak and needy in society.  But in fact, the left exploits and manipulates both weak and poor to continue to remain in power.  Consider the infected American cities of Detroit, Baltimore, and Chicago, where the left has total control and can implement whatever programs it wants, and look at the result:  perpetual devastation, crime, and misery.

Liberals Have Only Helped Blacks Fail.  If black lives mattered to liberals, 17.3 million black women wouldn't have paid the progeny of Margaret Sanger's "Negro Project" to murder their babies.  If black lives mattered and liberal progressive policies actually helped — between 1976 and 2011, 94 percent of all blacks killed, wouldn't have been killed by other black people.  Without going into the rest of [Latonia] Westerfield's maudlin essay, her response validates what I have been saying all of my adult life, i.e., blacks are inculcated from cradle to grave to embrace being victims based upon color of skin.  To her kind there is nothing as insufferable as a "black" person who isn't a victim and who doesn't harbor deep-seated antipathy against America, (read: white people).

The leftist romance with lawlessness.  We could have a debate about whether legal residents who are not citizens — but in the country legally — should be represented in Congress.  But how dare any politician dilute the rights of legal American citizens by granting the exact same rights and representation in Congress to illegal aliens.  These are the same devious politicians who proclaim most loudly to want to protect and guarantee equal representation in Congress for minority citizens such as black Americans.  Yet they eagerly diminish that representation by lumping in illegal aliens.

DC lawmaker blames Jews for bad weather.  A DC lawmaker blamed a late-winter snowfall on a family of Jewish bankers — accusing them of controlling the climate and orchestrating natural disasters.  Council member Trayon White Sr. apologized for the comments he made in a since-deleted video on his official Facebook page posted Friday morning [3/16/2018] as snow fell over the capital.  "Man it just started snowing out of nowhere this morning, man.  Y'all better pay attention to this climate control, man, this climate manipulation," White can be heard saying in the video, the Washington Post reported.

D.C. lawmaker says recent snowfall caused by 'Rothschilds controlling the climate'.  A D.C. lawmaker responded to a brief snowfall Friday by publishing a video in which he espoused a conspiracy theory that Jewish financiers control the weather.  D.C. Council member Trayon White Sr. (D-Ward 8) posted the video to his official Facebook page at 7:21 a.m. as snow flurries were hitting the nation's capital.

DC council member apologizes after blaming snowfall on Jewish bankers controlling climate.  A Washington D.C. council member apologized Sunday evening [3/18/2018] after he blamed a snow squall on a well-known Jewish banking dynasty.  In an Instagram post, Democrat Trayon White apologized to "the Jewish Community and anyone I have offended."  White made the comments on a Facebook video which was shot Friday morning through the windshield of a car driving through downtown Washington during snowfall.

Dick Durbin Calls No Amnesty 'Humanitarian Crisis' While Blacks Overly Unemployed in His State.  Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says that a lack of amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is a "humanitarian crisis," while black Americans continue to be overly unemployed in his home state of Illinois.  In the Senate on Monday, Durbin said President Trump's end to the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a national disaster but did not mention the fact that his state's unemployment rate for black Americans remains above the national average at nearly ten percent.

Desperately Hating Clarence Thomas.  Of all the desperate and futile attempts at revisionist history, few are as careless as the attempt to destroy the reputation of one of the finest Supreme Court justices this country has ever produced.  Now comes another volley.  New York magazine has assembled "The Case for Impeaching Clarence Thomas."  The author is longtime anti-Thomas journalist Jill Abramson.  [...] Justice Thomas has been a distinguished member of the Supreme Court for more than 26 years now.  In the years since, Abramson has assembled ... well, nothing.  Meanwhile, the case against Hill's unproven charges has grown only stronger, and Abramson's record of objectivity — if there ever was one — is evermore tattered.

Donald Trump is Forcing American Blacks to Pick a Side.  The most heinous reality that the straight-shooting 45th POTUS has uncovered is this: a good portion of the leftist media see most blacks and other dark-skinned minorities as sub-humans; and whether he knows it or not, Donald Trump is coming very close to removing, once and for all, the carefully and artfully applied paint from the face of a Beast that has been masquerading as Truth and Justice for far too long.  By goading the leftist media into talking about cultural issues that they really don't understand, the president has laid a trap and is exposing what has been obvious to traditional Americans with even the most basic common sense.  And in so doing he is demonstrating that the so-called intellectual prowess of many in the leftist media is nothing but an illusion.  And nowhere is the agenda-driven and shoddy analysis of these leftists more evident than when they talk about black people or anything concerning them.

I'm Still Cheering For Trump.  Trump was interrupted more than a hundred times by the applause of everyone in the chamber except a bunch of bitter and sullen Democrats.  The Democrats — some of them dressed in black as part of some phony protest — refused to show the slightest sign of approval for the president when he pointed out how well America's workers and the economy are doing.  Lowest black unemployment rate in recorded history?  Lowest Latino unemployment in history?  Lowest overall unemployment rate in years?  Republicans stood and cheered every time.  Democrats sat and stared with their arms folded.

Sadly, Another Black History Month.  Democrats are insidious enablers; nurturing problems in black communities by lowering cultural, moral, and intellectual standards for us in the name of compassion.  After all, according to Leftists, we black folks ain't too bright.  Democrats relieve blacks of any accountability or responsibility for their failure or success; claiming our fate rest solely in the hands of white America.  Notice how Democrats/Leftists are always advocating lowering the bar and giving us free stuff; addicting us to government freebies.  I am appalled by the Democrats' bigotry of lowered expectations regarding my fellow black Americans.

In their love for illegals, Democrats pitch the black community overboard.  Democrats at President Trump's State of the Union address refused to honor the parents of two girls in New York who were hunted down and beaten to death by a pack of MS-13 gang members — and the parents are angry about it.  According to Fox News, some Democrats may have actually booed them.  In the Democrats' minds, it's all about staying on message.  The killers were illegal immigrants and therefore were to be defended no matter what they did, because championing and encouraging illegal immigration is now the sole defining Democratic issue.  But this case is interesting because it pits them squarely against the black community, where the girls were from.

Democrats Dig Themselves Into A Hole After Trump's Speech.  [Scroll down]  At one point, Trump stated the fact that black unemployment is at historic lows.  This is a tremendous achievement, and one that every American should celebrate.  Trump wasn't even taking credit for it, he was just listing it as one of the many signs that the economy is doing better.  The reaction from Democrats — but especially from members of the liberal Black Caucus — who sat glowering in their seats, was incredible.  What is the message they are sending?  That it's not true?  (It is true.  No one denies it.)  That it's bad because it happened while Trump was president?  (Why should that matter?)  That they don't care?  The message they actually sent was that they are so blinded by their intense hatred of Trump that they can't even cheer the fact that their own constituents are doing well.

Democrats' Hatred Of Trump Is Going To Bring Them Down.  When [President] Trump summarized the successes of his first year in office, he emphasized how the prosperity of his first twelve months impacted the lives and hopes of ordinary Americans, wage laborers and others whom the eight years of the Obama presidency had left behind.  In doing so he exposed the Democrats in the most dramatic way imaginable.  Under his policies, he boasted, black and Hispanic unemployment are record lows.  As he said this and the Republican side of the house rose to its feet in applause the TV camera panned to the morose members of the Democrats' Black Caucus, sitting on their hands and showing America that the last thing they care about is their black constituents.  What they care about is their hatred for Trump, and about not disturbing the biggest lie of the political season:  that the White House is the headquarters of a "white supremacy" movement intent on keeping black Americans down and making them suffer.

Liberals Offended By Joe Kennedy's Spanish.  Rep. Joe Kennedy III addressed DACA recipients in Spanish during his response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night [1/30/2018].  Unfortunately for him, the liberal base may have found his attempts to be more offensive than they were honorable.  People pointed out his lack of fluency and the obvious attempt to pander to immigrants.  Multiple people noted that it could be "condescending" to assume that DACA recipients do not speak English and need to be addressed in Spanish.

The Shabby, Sophomoric Behavior of Democrats at the SOTU.  It is difficult to imagine a more galling demonstration of incivility than the Democrats in the room for Trump's SOTU speech.  They scowled, frowned, and sat on their hands throughout the speech.  They could hardly be bothered to acknowledge the heroes in the audience when they were introduced.  While the Dems brought illegal immigrants, Trump invited actual paragons of American character and the families of victims of illegal immigrant crimes, as well as a victim of North Korea.  It was embarrassing, like watching the anti-Semites in the UN stomp out of the room when Benjamin Netanyahu speaks.  How is it any different?  Our Democrats behave exactly like the most racist, intolerant people on the planet, and in their own Capitol.

Poll: Black Americans the Most Supportive of Dramatically Reducing Legal Immigration Levels.  Black Americans are the most supportive group in the United States of dramatically lower legal immigration levels, down from where the U.S. currently admits more than 1 million legal immigrants a year, a new poll reveals.  According to a detailed Harvard-Harris poll, black Americans are more likely than any other demographic group to support lower yearly legal immigration levels, down to a fourth of current immigration levels.

Real Americans vs.  Our Effete Elites.  [R]acism is contrivance, a sham invented by the left to disempower African Americans.  Convince them they are inferior, that that they need to be taken care of by the government and the democrats will remain in power forever!  Being the racists they are, projection came easy.  It has always been the left that assumes African-Americans need a leg up.  It is conservatives who have always embraced MLK's dictate about the content of character.  The left is all about skin color; to the right skin color is irrelevant.

Democrats acting as if Maxine Waters will embarrass them in SOTU response.  Quick, which Democratic Party standard-bearer brings the most recognition to mind:  Joe Kennedy the third, or Maxine Waters?  If you're like most people, the Democrat with the higher profile is Maxine Waters, a Democrat so visible and well-known she has the affectionate nickname among Democrats of "Auntie Maxine."  Kennedy is ... one of the Kennedys, gotta look up which one he is in his lineage, along with what kind of trouble he's been in with the law.  So it's weird stuff to see the noisy, flamboyant Waters being shunted off to the Black Entertainment Television network representing the Democrats in their response to President Trump's State of the Union address, while the bland, pedigreed Kennedy is being given the prime time slot for the wider-audience mainstream media response.  It certainly looks like ghettoization.  So much for the face of the Democratic Party.

An open letter to Democrat inner city residents and minorities.  Democrat policies are great for Washington bureaucrats and Democrat rich people and not so great for inner city residents, blacks, and Hispanics. [...] Whenever you vote Democrat, you get poorer and they get richer — and that's never going to change, because that's what always happens to poor people when Democrats are in power.  They get a lot of loving lip service, and some trickle-down welfare, but no wealth.  Instead, their communities just get worse and worse.

Dick Durbin Claims Amnesty Is 'Civil Rights Issue of Our Time'.  Democratic Senators believe amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants is the "civil rights issue of our time," declared Sen. Dick Durbin, just before he voted January 22 to end the 2018 budget filibuster.  Durbin's promotion of illegal immigrants above African-Americans and other Americans spotlights the party's decision that Americans' deficits in wealth, job opportunities, and education are subordinate to the party's strategy of allying with business to import foreign voters via the nation's mass-immigration laws.

Black activists shout 'Shame on you!', at Chicago aldermen supporting Obama Presidential Center.  Now that the huge monument to Barack Obama won't be a presidential library and is purely a private endeavor, the gift of precious park land belonging to the people of Chicago to a private group is questionable.  And federal permits are necessary for certain aspects of the planned center.  This isn't going to be simple or easy.  Plenty of people, black and of other races, are not thrilled with the impact the monument will have on their neighborhood, their parks, and their lives.

The pathetic results of the NFL kneeling spree.  What, exactly, did the NFL "take-a-knee" protests by wealthy black football players protesting racial injustice accomplish? [...] [T]he protests show that the black community of today is profoundly lacking in leadership.  That might be attributed to black leaders buying into the entire Democratic Party package in large numbers, leaving the black community with failed, corrupt one-party cities such as Detroit; lousy schools due to teachers unions' grip on power; abortion targeting and hitting black communities hardest, weakening the family structure; and the absence of a significant black business community due to the massive regulations imposed from Democratic rule.

Leftwing Racism Is Real And This Week Has Given Us Two Excellent Examples.  [R]acism is not only alive and well, it is living large in the progressive movement.  This is not unexpected.  It is only natural that a political movement that is so tied to racial and ethnic identity that they would feel right at home at the Wannsee Conference would lash out at anyone operating outsides the allowed bounds of behavior for racial and ethnic groups.  Tim Scott and Nikki Haley are trailblazers and these attacks are going to continue.

Dear Democrats:  Does Trump do anything that's not racist?  [Scroll down]  John Lewis and others always complain that blacks are imprisoned and blacks are killed at a much higher rate than their percentage of the population, but somehow they don't complain when Planned Parenthood aborts black babies at such a high percentage versus the population.  Why don't Civil Rights leaders complain, especially since the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, wanted eugenics to build a cleaner race?

Memo to John Lewis:  Democrats are the party of white racism.  Georgia Democrat Rep. John Lewis refused to attend the opening of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum because President Trump was there, yet he would have been the first to condemn Trump had Trump not gone.  The irony is that much of the brutality, oppression, and denial of civil rights the museum records was committed by the party of white racism — the Democratic Party. [...] What really happened in Mississippi and throughout the South is that Democrats, who never got over losing the Civil War, sought to move blacks to a new plantation of oppression and suppression.  As one wag put it, the reason Democrats hate Republicans so much is that the Republicans took away their slaves.  All the Democrats have succeeded in doing is moving blacks to the urban plantations of inner cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago, all run by Democrats, where black children are preyed upon by black gangs, are trapped in failing schools, and have little or no job opportunities.

CNN Promotes 'White Nonsense Roundup:' White Liberals Who Save Victimized People Of Color On Social Media.  In a piece titled "These are your white allies on Facebook," CNN enthusiastically introduces us to a group called "White Nonsense Roundup" (WNR).  Essentially, the group of roughly 100 "white ally" volunteers take turns swooping in to save African American people (already suffering from the "emotional labor" of systemic racism) from social media arguments when issues of race arise.  You know, because these white liberals are "woke" enough to recognize their inherent sin of whiteness and, apparently along with CNN, think people of color need white people to fight their social media battles for them.

The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party.  Did you know that the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history?  Watch as Carol Swain, professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, shares the inconvenient history of the Democratic Party.  [Video clip]

What About the Crimes of Bill Clinton and Robert Byrd?  [West Virginia Sen. Robert] Byrd in his earlier days was a worse slime and more wretchedly vile than was anyone else who ever sat in the United States Senate.  He was as close as any U.S. Senator ever came to having been a Nazi.  He was the unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops of his Ku Klux Klan coven.  For those among recent American college graduates who have not studied American history, it is good to remember that the KKK burned crosses on the lawns of African Americans, other immigrants, and Catholics.  The Ku Klux Klan lynched African Americans.  When he was way old enough to know right from wrong — when he was as old as were some of the people now being permanently expunged from American society for wrongful sexual assaults and batteries they perpetrated at that same age — Robert Byrd was leading a group that burned crosses on lawns and that lynched blacks, kidnapping them and hanging them to die on trees.  That never stopped the Democrats from honoring him as one of their clan, revering him, idolizing him, and ensconcing the Byrd Rule in Senate lore.

Libs think you're Stupid.  Are You?  If stronger gun control laws are the answer then explain the following:  Chicago has strict gun control laws yet has one of the highest murder rates in the nation.  So far this year there have been 569 murders and over 40 have occurred in October alone with most of the victims being young blacks.  How did the assailants get their guns?  Is this being ignored because the blacks were killed by other blacks?  Why aren't there any Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago?  How on earth was Mayor Rahm Emanuel re-elected?

Liberals are out of step
Released JFK Documents Suggest Lyndon Johnson Was Former KKK Member.  That [Lyndon B.] Johnson would have been a member of the Klan wouldn't be much of a surprise, frankly.  As a member of the Senate, he fought vigorously against civil rights legislation favored by President Eisenhower and Republicans.  Early in his political career, Johnson was guilty of all kinds of statements in support of Jim Crow laws in the South.  This isn't verified proof that Johnson was indeed part of the Klan.  But given the political circumstances from which he rose (deep South, Democrat-dominated Texas), it's not that far-fetched.  In fact, more likely than not, Johnson mixed around with a racist crowd to get his political start.


JFK Files:  Documents Show Democrat President Lyndon Johnson Was KKK Member.  News outlets from around the globe are furiously combing through the files in search of more pieces to the puzzling death of President John F. Kennedy.  President Trump released the remaining documents this weekend.  One of the recent documents shows Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was a KKK member.  This is not a surprise.

Racial Chasm Splits Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Ticket.  Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Ralph Northam's campaign became ensconced in controversy this week as the Northam campaign printed fliers that excluded a picture of African American running mate Justin Fairfax.  The Northam campaign created a Fairfax-free flier for the Democrat-leaning Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) that removes any reference to the lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Justin Fairfax because the union endorsed Ralph Northam but not Justin Fairfax.

The Congressional Black Caucus Prayer Breakfast:  The Great Black Deception.  The CBC Prayer Breakfast had nothing to do with Jesus or spreading His Love.  Quite the opposite.  It was about spreading hate for police, strengthening the Trump resistance, and strengthening black's bogus belief that they are victims in America.  The breakfast was also about despicably instilling hate and fear to register new Democrat voters.

Blacks, Crime, and the Bended Knee.  Whites comprise about 75 percent of America's population and they have had just about enough of the offensive accusations, protests, and moral outrage directed at them.  Yes, blacks were brought here centuries ago as slaves, but America did not originate slavery nor do we still practice slavery, as do parts of Africa and Muslim nations today.  In fact, America fought a civil war to end slavery.  It's been over 150 years since the Emancipation Proclamation, thus, the fate of today's blacks rests not upon yesterday's slaveholders, but upon today's failed black leadership who have intentionally kept America's blacks on an imaginary plantation through the indoctrination of victimhood.

Obama, Please Go Away!  We know that black turnout in the last election was down from 2012, when black turnout was actually higher than white turnout.  The left screams "GOP vote suppression!," except that the lower turnout occurred in many instances in cities and states that Democrats control.  Maybe the fact that Obama was no longer on the ballot — and Hillary was — might explain why some black voters stayed home (or voted for Trump — he got the highest GOP share of the black vote in 30 years).  Or maybe blacks are tired of Democrats in general, and Obama in particular.  Obama is currently making plans for his presidential library and community action center to be located on the south side of Chicago.  The mostly black neighborhood where it is planned to be built isn't happy about it, and not buying Obama's happy talk about how it will bring prosperity to the neighborhood.

Obama's promises for presidential center may not be enough this time for African-Americans.  Now that [Barack H.] Obama is about to build his presidential center in Woodlawn's Jackson Park, some residents are wary of his ability to transform neighborhoods without doing harm to longtime residents who could end up displaced by gentrification.  A nasty fight over a community benefits agreement with the Obama Foundation has exposed an unexpected rift between the former president and some of the South Side residents who helped lift him to prominence.  Not everyone on the South Side, it seems, thinks Obama did enough for black folks during his eight years as president.  And as he prepares to build a presidential center that will pay tribute to his legacy, some South Siders are calling him out for what they consider broken promises.

Hillary Clinton Is the New David Duke.  Clinton is a believer in "identity politics" — the grandchild of slavery and the son of segregation, the latter two racist policies the political fuel for Clinton's party from its birth, not to mention the later "progressive movement" that was folded into the party by Woodrow Wilson.  The latter perhaps the most racist president in American history who celebrated the pro-Ku Klux Klan film Birth of a Nation in the White House when he had some down time from segregating the U.S. government and the U.S. military.  The real problem here is that the mainstream media rolls over for this, giving all those race-card playing progressives a pass.

The Mistake of Pandering to Antifa and Black Lives Matter.  The loudest black voices trashing America are super wealthy Leftist blacks who could not have achieved their mega success without the enthusiastic support of white America.  And yet, they are dissing our flag and national anthem.  They are cheerleaders for the destruction of historical monuments and clamoring for us to throw out the U.S. Constitution.  Shamefully, rich leftist blacks are using urban blacks as pawns to further the leftist socialist/progressive agenda.

The Name/Statue Game Has Barely Begun!.  [Scroll down]  And, of course, the Democratic Party has to go.  The party that tirelessly defended slavery, refused to accept defeat after the Civil War, employed the Ku Klux Klan as its militant arm, and enforced segregation for nearly a century after the war ended, should disband in shame.  Many of its leading politicians — former Klansman Robert Byrd, William Fulbright (no more Fulbright scholarships), Richard Russell (we have to rename the Russell Senate Office Building), Sam Ervin, and many more — were proud racists and segregationists.  Such a party should no longer be permitted to exist.

Woodrow Wilson.  FDR. Lyndon Johnson.  Robert Byrd.  ALL Democrats.  ALL Racists.  POTUS Trump was proven right yet again.  Just 24-hours after asking the media where the movement to destroy historical monuments would end — including tearing down those honoring figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, far left voices like Al Sharpton and others among within the media were demanding that very thing.  Why is it then these very same voices refuse to acknowledge the deeply racist history of the Democrat Party?  Where is the cry to destroy all the monuments devoted to figures like Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Lyndon Johnson, and Robert Byrd?

While we're toppling offensive symbols, what about the Democratic Party?  [Scroll down]  That's how it is with history.  You can't say the Democratic Party wasn't the slavery party.  It's historical fact.  Just as it is also historical fact that the Republican Party was the party of abolitionists.  I mentioned this to a Democrat who was all for the removal of Confederate statues in the South, and I told him I wasn't all that opposed, either.  He thought I was being sarcastic.  But when I reminded him that his party was the slavery party, the KKK party, the anti-civil rights party from the 1860s to the 1960s, and should be put into a museum, he made a sour face.  "You're really taking this satire too far," he said.

The DNC: America's Most Notorious Hate Group.  In December 2015, President Obama lauded [Black Lives Matter] for shining "sunlight" on the problem of racist policing in America, and on a subsequent occasion he likened BLM to the abolition and suffrage movements, which he said were also "contentious and messy" but ultimately noble.  And on July 13, 2016 — a mere six days after a BLM supporter in Dallas had shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others — Obama hosted three BLM leaders at a lengthy White House meeting along with the legendary racist anti-Semite, Al Sharpton.  By then, Sharpton was well-established as "Obama's go-to man on race."  Indeed, Obama had addressed Sharpton's National Action Network on multiple occasions, lauding the organization for its "commitment to fight injustice and inequality," and for doing work that was "so important to change America."  He had also characterized Sharpton as "a voice for the voiceless and ... dispossessed," and had praised Sharpton's "dedication to the righteous cause of perfecting our union."  From January 2009 through December 2014, Al Sharpton — the most visible racist anti-Semite of the past generation — visited the Obama White House on 72 separate occasions, including 5 one-on-one meetings with the president and 20 meetings with staff members or senior advisers.  And the DNC had no problem with any of this.

Report: ESPN Removes College Football Announcer From Game Because He's Named 'Robert Lee'.  ESPN confirmed via emailed statement that they did, indeed, take Robert Lee off the UVA game over the fact that his name was close to that of a Confederate general.

ESPN Exec on Robert Lee Controversy: 'No Biggie Until Someone Leaked it to Embarrass Us and Him'.  ESPN is now in full blown damage control mode over what would seem to be one of the more ridiculous self-made controversies in recent times — the decision to pull a broadcaster from a University of Virginia football game telecast because his name happens to be Robert Lee.  With cable news and social media reaction nearly universal in their criticism of ESPN, the Worldwide Leader is looking to calm the outcry from those on the left and the right over the decision.

ESPN, the worldwide leader in liberal idiocy.  So let me ask, "what if I told you that ESPN decided to pull an Asian-American announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee?"  Your answer would probably be, "you're making it up."  But I'm not.  It is reliably reported that Robert Lee was slated to call Virginia's game on September 2 against William and Mary, but because of events in Charlottesville, which originated with a dispute over removing a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, he has been reassigned.

ESPN Pulls Game Announcer Robert Lee Because His Name Is Too "Triggering".  If ever you doubted that ESPN was the sporting epicenter of liberalism, well, consider this the day you can put those doubts to rest.  In what can only be considered the most ridiculous, over-the-top, example of political correctness running amok ESPN has pulled a college football announcer from the game between William & Mary vs the University of Virginia because his name is Robert Lee.  Seriously, you just can't make this stuff up.  Oh, and Robert Lee is Asian (pictured left) but even his ethnicity couldn't save him from the executive level stupidity and delicate sensibilities of ESPN.

ESPN Pulls Announcer from UVa Football Game — Because His Name Is Robert Lee.  The man shown to the left is sportscaster Robert Lee.  The man to the right is Confederate General Robert E. Lee.  ESPN was afraid that viewers would mix them up.  Mr. Lee (the one who didn't die in 1870) was scheduled to announce next weekend's University of Virginia football game against William and Mary.  This match-up will be hosted in Charlottesville, which has a statue of Gen. Lee (who never provided NCAA play-by-play).  ESPN decided that this was far too confusing for their viewers to process.

Asian Announcer Pulled off VA Football Game Because of His Name.  The cultural totalitarians at ESPN pulled an Asian man off the Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee, the same as Confederate General Robert E. Lee.  These people are crazy.

The Editor says...
 Ordinary viewers don't care what sports announcers' names are.  It doesn't matter if the commentator's name is Chuck Roast or Patty O'Furniture:  The names will be forgotten at the end of the broadcast, or about two seconds after the last time the names appear at the bottom of your TV screen.  (And if those names never came up in superimposed text, who would notice?)  I suspect that even the most rabid sports fan can't recall the names of the announcers on any televised sporting event they saw last week.

Change the sheets and kiss the Byrd statue goodbye, West Virginia.  Outside West Virginia's magnificent Capitol, protesters have demanded the removal of a statue of Stonewall Jackson, a Confederate general from a Union state.  He's easy money.  When does the state remove the statue of Bob Byrd inside the Capitol?  In the Rotunda no less.

Obama at Byrd funeral
Democrats:  Explain What Obama Is Doing In This Pic.  If the anti-Confederate crusade teaches us anything, it's that history is obligated to remember you for your worst sins, not your best deeds.


Will The Left Start Calling For New York To Be Renamed?  Ever since the Charlottesville protests, the Left has ramped up their crusade against Confederate monuments and street named after Confederate generals.  Using their logic, they should be calling for renaming the leftist mecca of New York, whose namesake is derived from a slave trader.  The Daily Caller reminded everyone that New York is named after the former duke of York, James Stuart, who would eventually become King James II.  James formed the Royal African Company (RAC), which eventually "became the largest single company involved in the slave trade," according to a 1999 UNESCO paper.  The RAC traded an average of 5,000 slaves per year from 1680-6 and a total of 30,000 from 1680-1700.  The company remained in the slave trading industry until it moved to trading gold dust and ivory in 1731.

Capitol's Confederate cleansing poses difficult decisions for Democrats.  Cleansing the Capitol of blemishes of American history could be a hard task.  As Democratic leaders threw their support Thursday [8/17/2017] behind a proposal to take down any statue connected with the Confederacy, President Trump wondered where they would draw the line.  Sen. Cory A. Booker, the New Jersey Democrat who called for culling the Confederacy, did not say what should be done about Richard Stockton, a slave owner who is one of his state's contributions to the Capitol Collection.  Nor did Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer's office respond to a question about whether his office should be renamed from the Robert C. Byrd Rooms — as homage to one of his predecessors as the Democratic leader, who was at one time a KKK member.

The Editor says...
 Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was more than just a member of the KKK.  He was an officer in the KKK.  An organizer and recruiter for the Klan.  And he is a Democratic Party hero to this day, because of all the pork-barrel spending he proudly brought to his home state.

If Democrats Want Racism Removed There Are 12 Memorials That Need To Go — They Won't Like It.  Robert Byrd is perhaps the most notable example.  The late senator from West Virginia was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, rising to the rank of "exalted cyclops", and unsurprisingly filibustered the Civil Rights Act in 1964.  He's honored throughout West Virginia: [...] Yet no one is complaining about memorials to an actual Klansman who opposed the Civil Rights Act?  President Lyndon B. Johnson was also a reported racist, allegedly calling the Civil Rights Act the "n----- bill".  He is memorialized with the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac.  President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not only a socialist, but also ordered for Japanese-Americans to be held in internment camps, something almost universally condemned today.  He is honored at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington DC.  Presidents Andrew Johnson and Woodrow Wilson were also reportedly racist, yet both also have memorials standing in their name.

When Does the Robert Byrd Statue Get Torn Down at the U.S. Capitol?  Since left wing domestic terrorists are insistent on removing anything 'offensive' from history by tearing down confederate statues, why the is the Robert Byrd statue still standing at the U.S. Capitol?  You remember Robert Byrd don't you?  Democrat Senate leader from the 1950's until 2010?  The same Robert Byrd who voted against the civil rights act in the 1960's.  Also the same Robert Byrd who was a KKK recruiter and grand dragon.

Why Trump is better for black America than Obama ever was.  I've been in the conservative movement for more than 30 years and have never once met or associated with a white supremacist.  I don't know who David Duke is, nor do I know any member of a racist group.  If they did show up at any conservative meeting, they would be unceremoniously tossed out.  Conservatives stand for equality of opportunity, equal justice under the law, and a colorblind society.  We also believe in results, not intentions.  Liberals tend to have horrible results with their good intentions when it comes to economic policy, especially as it pertains to black Americans.  Polls show consistently that what blacks care most about today is jobs and economic opportunity.

Al Sharpton Criticizes Ivanka Trump with Worst Grammar You've Ever Seen!  The Reverend Al Sharpton is attacking Ivanka Trump.  Even worse, he's supposed to be a gifted speaker.  I don't see any indication of that, myself, but Democrats are falling over themselves to christen terrible speakers on the left as being shining orators.

Black activists tell Democrats:  Put an African American on 2020 ticket.  African American activists have a message for Democrats:  If you want to win back the White House, strongly consider a black person on the ticket.  On their list are a growing roster of black politicians, notably Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J. and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., former Attorney General Eric Holder and Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts.

California's Judicial Council racial sensitivity bureaucrats dress up as black convicts for office party.  If anyone needed proof that California is over-larded with do-nothing, malevolent bureaucrats, maybe the Judicial Council's Halloween party, which featured racial sensitivity bosses dressed in blackface and turning their cubicles into jail cells, is just that example.  Sure enough, it's an agency that oversees racial sensitivity programs for California's court system.

Where do you fit on the liberal totem pole?
 California Democrats Want Data on Lobbyists' Race, Sexual Orientation.  Democrats in the California state legislature are asking lobbyists to provide data on the race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation of their firms' employees — while the state refuses to give voter data to President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission.  The Sacramento Bee reports that the leaders of the "Legislative Asian Pacific Islander, Black, Jewish, Latino, LGBT and Women's caucuses" sent letters "to more than 400 lobbying firms, associations and major groups that employ lobbyists" asking for them to provide data on their employees, including their sexuality.

Rev. Jesse Peterson:  Things 'Got Worse Under Barack Obama' for Black Americans.  Preacher and author Jesse Lee Peterson, who grew up on the Alabama plantation where his ancestors once toiled as slaves, said some black Americans suffer in America today because of the "destruction of the family — not because of "racism" — and that during the eight years of President Barack Obama, life "got worse" for black Americans.  During an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, July 3, Peterson said liberals have dominated the policies and lawmaking in many major cities for decades and those policies have failed, especially for minorities.  But because liberals have no new ideas, they demonize their opponents.

Fancy Names for Left-Wing Anti-Semitism.  It was a Chicago weekend filled with gay pride events, with friends and families cheering on the marchers.  But a dark cloud loomed over one event.  When some lesbians showed up at the "Dyke March" with banners that included a Star of David, they were booted out.  The Jewish symbol "made us feel unsafe," the organizers said.  As the blues-rock singer Delbert McClinton once wrote, "If you can't lie no better than that, you might as well tell the truth."

Jason Riley's False Black Power published today.  Jason Riley of the Manhattan Institute, whom you may recognize as a frequent panelist on Fox News's Special Report, has written an elegant short book that makes a powerful case on the solution to race relations in the United States.  As the title indicates, Riley believes that America's African-American community has been badly served by the emphasis on achieving political power as a means to advance.

Why Obama's presidency didn't lead to black progress.  The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was followed by large increases in black elected officials.  In the Deep South, black officeholders grew from 100 in 1964 to 4,300 in 1978.  By the early 1980s, major US cities with large black populations, such as Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia, had elected black mayors.  Between 1970 and 2010, the number of black elected officials nationwide increased from fewer than 1,500 to more than 10,000.  Yet the socioeconomic progress that was supposed to follow in the wake of these political gains never materialized.  During an era of growing black political influence, blacks as a group progressed at a slower rate than whites, and the black poor actually lost ground.

Hardly Walt's Disney.  The Magic Kingdom became the place of nightmares recently.  In October of 2014, with no warning, Disney informed hundreds of their information technology (IT) workers they had three months left on the job.  If the employees wanted to collect their severance, they would have to train their replacements.  For three excruciating months, Disney forced their employees to train foreign workers brought into the country to replace them.  The foreign-born workers were allowed to come into the country via the H-1B visa program. [...] Essentially, Disney has gone into the indentured servitude business.  The foreign employees cannot complain or ask for more money for fear of getting fired.  If they are fired, their visas are revoked and they are kicked out of the country.

U.S. Twitter Erupts Over News That Hillary Clinton Used Black Prison Labor While First Lady Of Arkansas.  Twitter users have reacted with surprise and fury over excerpts from Hillary Clinton's 1996 book It Takes A Village.  On June 6, Jeanette Jing, an activist with over 33,000 followers on Twitter who supports Clinton's Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, shared two pages of the work in which Clinton reminisces about the black prisoners who worked in the Arkansas governor's mansion she shared with her husband, Bill Clinton, who led the state from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992.

Bill Maher and Perpetual Adolescence.  Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" show to promote his new book, "The Vanishing American Adult:  Our Coming of Age Crisis — And How To Build a Culture of Self Reliance."  Surely Sasse didn't expect this routine publicity spot for his book to turn into a media storm.  But thanks to Bill Maher's infamous and irreverent mouth, this is what happened.  Maher, of course, makes his living being irreverent.  But now he has discovered that even a rich left-wing provocateur has lines he can't cross.  And using the classic word of black denigration — the N-word — is one of them.  Now he has apologized — surely not out of any personal remorse but out of career damage control.  Whether he will pay a price for his casual exploitation of the pain of others remains to be seen.

How Democrats Hoodwink Blacks.  Since its founding in the late 1820s, the Democratic Party has defended slavery, started the Civil War and opposed Reconstruction.  The Democratic Party imposed segregation.  Its members engaged in the lynchings of blacks and opposed the civil rights acts of the 1950s and '60s.  During Reconstruction, hundreds of black men were elected to Southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the U.S. Congress by 1900.  The Democratic Party did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935.  President Woodrow Wilson was a Progressive Democrat and an avowed racist who shared many views with the Ku Klux Klan.  He resegregated the federal civil service.  He screened the racist film "The Birth of a Nation," originally titled "The Clansman," at the White House; it was the very first movie ever played at the White House.  What was the party of Orval Faubus, the Arkansas governor who blocked the desegregation of Little Rock schools and defied the U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous 1954 Brown v.  Board of Education decision?  What was the party of Theophilus Eugene Connor, known as Bull Connor, who, as city commissioner, set vicious dogs, fire hoses and billy clubs on black civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham, Alabama? [...] What was the political party of Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who, during the 1960s civil rights movement, declared that he stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever" and blocked black students from entering the University of Alabama?

The Democrats' Second Secession & America's New Civil War.  [Scroll down]  The 2016 platform of the Democratic Party vows "a societal transformation" that will "end institutional and systemic racism in our society."  This is the ideology of cultural Marxism.  "Institutional racism" as a systemic American problem is a political fiction.  Americans outlawed "institutional racism" half a century ago with the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965.  Any incidence of institutional racism today is actionable in the courts — the utra-liberal courts that threw out Trump's executive orders on extra-legal grounds because of off-the-cuff remarks he made on the campaign trail.  "Systemic racism" and "institutional racism" are anti-American mythologies that drive the Democratic Party's political agendas.

Che Guevara was no hero, he was a racist.  Jay-Z, Carlos Santana, and Johnny Depp — who have all been spotted in Guevara t-shirts in the last decade — have, as [Senator Marco] Rubio correctly noted, largely ignored the issue.  Yet, some leftist defenders of Guevara do occasionally deal with Guevara's views on race.

What Ever Happened to the Civil Rights Movement?  If you're a Democrat, and your program is wealth redistribution — with a big cut for yourself as a ruling middleman — it turns out that racism is a much better rationale than inequality for robbing selected Peter to pay collective Paul.

Do Leftists Know What Their Hero Karl Marx Thought of Blacks, Jews, and Mexicans?  May Day celebrations were held all across the fruited plain, with leftist radicals and unionists worshipping the ideals of communism.  Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives.  It was created by Karl Marx, who — along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels — wrote a pamphlet called "Manifesto of the Communist Party."  In 1867, Marx wrote the first volume of "Das Kapital."  The second and third volumes were published posthumously, edited by Engels.  Few people who call themselves Marxists have ever even bothered to read "Das Kapital."  If one did read it, he would see that people who call themselves Marxists have little in common with Marx.

Homeschooling: Restoring Parents' Right to Raise Their Children as God Intended.  Years ago, I spoke to a class of black students at a Baltimore middle school.  I asked each student to state their name.  Stunningly, I had to ask several students to repeat their name numerous times before I understood what they were saying.  They mumbled.  I thought, why would their teacher allow such lazy speech?  It is the bigotry of low expectations.

Another American City Destroyed by the Democrats.  [As Peter Collier] points out, the vast majority of America's voiceless, powerless, and impoverished people are concentrated in cities that have been run exclusively by Democrats for decades — even generations — without interruption.  These are cities where stratospheric rates of crime, poverty, unemployment, out-of-wedlock births, homes without fathers and failed school systems have become a way of life — along with oppressive and confiscatory taxes whose only discernible achievement is to keep the leaky ship of city government afloat for as long as possible before it is inevitably capsized by economic and social calamity.  Minneapolis, Minnesota is perhaps the least likely case in point.  Camouflaged by the state as a whole, a synonym for plainspoken stability, it is just one of the many American cities that were once thriving centers of industry, prosperity and optimism — until Democrats took them over.

Democrats Said Melania's White Dress Was Racist, Then Wore White to Trump's Speech.  When Republicans wear white, it's because they're trying to subliminally convey how much they hate black people.  When Democrats wear white, it's because they love women, liberty, and progress.

In February, Democrats Wrap Up Black Amnesia Month.  Democrats stood shoulder to shoulder for decades with the late U.S. senator and former Klansman Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.).  As the Washington Post explained, Byrd recruited 150 Klansmen for the Crab Orchard, W.Va., KKK.  His local chapter unanimously elected him "Exalted Cyclops."  Byrd wrote the KKK's Imperial Wizard in 1946:  "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia."  Democrats ignored all of this and embraced Byrd as their Senate leader as recently as 1989.  Hillary Clinton called Byrd "my friend and mentor."  At Byrd's July 2010 funeral, President Obama eulogized this hatemonger:  "It seems to me that his life bent toward justice."  Compare Democrats' half century of solidarity with Byrd, an actual Ku Klux Klan leader, with their unbridled, race-fueled vitriol against Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a non-KKK alumnus man who helped steer Klansman Henry Francis Hays into Alabama's electric chair.

Why Social-Justice Warriors Think It's Okay to Be Racist Towards Asians.  The same self-proclaimed liberals who tweet BlackLivesMatter and ChangeTheName, who work for a social-media network that fills its YouTube page with explainers telling you all you need to know about racism, have revealed a shocking blind spot when it comes to racism against Asian-Americans.

Diversify this.  Along with his remarked-upon shortfalls in diplomacy, nuance, finesse, rationality and often good manners, our 45th president has also been docked for his diversity shortfall.  This means he is surrounded by too many persons of pallor and of masculinity, in other words, by white males. [...] Trump could have found some more people of qualification with additional melanin and without the Y chromosome had he looked harder, but the fact remains that Republicans face an additional problem concerning diversity that their critics don't mention:  No sooner do they elect or appoint a female, Hispanic, black and/or Asian to any post whatsoever than that person loses all authenticity as a member of whatever group he or she may belong to.  Thus they become, in the eyes of the press and the Democrats, an imposter, a sell-out, a traitor, a Quisling, a monster, a fraud.

Ted Cruz Is Right about the Democrats and Racism.  Psychiatrists call the phenomena Warren exhibited as transference, the ascribing to others the faults you yourself possess.  Warren attempted to call former Sen. Jeff Sessions a "racist" and, by implication, his party and President Trump as well, on the Senate floor, a severe breech of protocol.  As Sen. Cruz pointed out in his reaction, Sen. Warren and her party had better look in the mirror of history: [...]

Not So Fast, UN: The US Owes No 'Reparations' to Blacks.  Though our racial history is undeniable, also undeniable is that most racial woes here were caused by the party of history blackout — the Democrats.  Let's get that history straight — a history with few teaching it and fewer knowing it.  Somewhere it's been said that one is a member of the Democratic Party by either decision, or deceit, meaning ignorance of their modus operandi.  The Democratic Party is irrevocably and inextricably tied to the racial attitudes, policy, organizations, violence and lynching in this nation's past while those more sympathetic Republicans, and particularly white men, are often referred to by that resurrected, hit-term, racist, the ne plus ultra label of the shrill and vitriolic left.

Immigration Rulings Continue Democrats' Strategy to Collect Votes.  The Democratic Party has long established itself as an "identity group" party.  It has divided the nation up into a list of groups of persons based on ethnicity and race and targeted these groups in their campaigns.  Slogans such as "black lives matter" are intended to influence voters into believing that the Democratic Party alone sympathizes with and will act, using government control of agencies and benefits, to improve the lives of those who are members of these groups.  These actions by the Democrats have a clearly defined and troubling theme in common:  the manipulation of groups of human beings into regions under Democratic control so as to build up and exploit their numbers.  In return, these groups support the Democratic Party and maintain its political power.

Trump Overseeing the Destruction of the Democrat Coalition.  [Scroll down]  The "KKKrazy glue" that holds the Democrats together is starting to dry out.  Last week's Women's March on Washington was the biggest anti-Trump demonstration yet.  There was just one problem:  the conspicuous absence of minorities.  Various Black Lives Matter groups spoke out about the absence of colored attendees.  Even before the event, the predominately white presence behind the march was a big point of contention among organizers.  One BLM activist took to Instagram to lecture white women on their inherent privilege and demanded they start "listening more, talking less, spend time observing, taking in media and art created by people of color, researching, and unlearning the things you have been taught about this country."  So much for feminine togetherness!

The Democratic party has lost its mind — and its soul.  Democrats claim to stand for the poor, immigrants and nonwhites.  Yet given a chance to actually support someone who is dedicated to improving education for all America's children, especially those trapped in failing urban schools, the Dems said no, [emphatically] no.  Joined by two Republicans, they stood in the schoolhouse door to block vital change, casting their lot with teachers unions that fear reform the way a vampire fears garlic.  Throw away all the subtexts and subterfuge, a defense of the rotten status quo is the only explanation for the bid to block DeVos.  The teachers unions pulled the strings, and the political puppets danced to their masters' tune.

The Breathtaking Hypocrisy of Senate Democrats.  In 1937, leftist icon Franklin Roosevelt appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States Attorney General Hugo Black, a man who had actually been a member of the Ku Klux Klan and never denied that fact. [...] House Democrats chose for majority whip a man who openly and clearly advocated "white supremacy," John Sparkman.  Senate Democrats chose Sparkman to be chairman of three important Senate committees.  His overt racism and links to the Ku Klux Klan were publicly called out by Republicans, but Democrats simply ignored these.  How openly did Democrats accept this Senate Democrat who was overtly opposed to civil rights for blacks?  Senator John Sparkman was selected by Adlai Stevenson to be his running mate on the 1952 Democrat presidential ticket, and not one single Senate Democrat opposed this ticket.

Cory Booker And The Party Of Robert Byrd.  The Democratic bench is thin these days and perhaps Cory Booker thought the crisis a Democratic Party decimated by the policies of Barack Obama would be a terrible thing to waste.  In, as Democrats might say, an unprecedented move, Cory Booker stepped to the plate as the designated character assassin of fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions.  It was a forum of great attention that perhaps Booker thought might launch a 2020 presidential run like another freshman Senator, Barack Obama, whose 2004 Democratic Convention speech launched his presidential campaign.

On Fire:  The Racist Anti-Racists at MTV News.  On Tuesday [1/10/2017], just before the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee and Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions kicked off, an MTV News reporter demonstrated his high and mighty commitment to racial tolerance ... by mocking Sen. Sessions' half-Asian granddaughter.  Sessions' daughter, Ruth, is married to Asian-American John Walk.  They have four girls.  Upon spotting Sessions with one of his multiracial granddaughters sitting on his lap as he waited for the proceedings to begin, MTV News "culture writer" Ira Madison III tweeted a photo of them and snarked:  "Sessions, sir, kindly return this Asian baby to the Toys 'R' Us you stole her from."  So much for liberals celebrating diversity.  So much for Michelle Obama's rallying cry to the left that "our motto is, when they go low, we go high."

At Sessions' hearing, Dems live up to the party's tradition of racism.  Like tired old racists clinging to their discredited past and divisive politics, Democrats wheezed exhaustively on their racial dogwhistles Tuesday in their increasingly futile bid to derail Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination to become the next attorney general.  The disgraceful charade proved nothing except that Democrats have learned absolutely zilch since suffering a devastating rejection by voters in November's election, in which they shamelessly and relentlessly tried segregating the country along the lines of race, religion and sex.

Hope and humility.  [Scroll down]  Humility is the polar opposite of what Michelle Obama displayed to Oprah and what the president has mirrored during his eight years in office.  Throughout his presidency, you might have thought the pronoun "I" was his first initial for all the times he referred to himself.  The Obamas could have offered real hope, especially in the hearts of African-American children, by leading the poor among them out of failing inner-city schools and giving their parents a choice of where to send them for a better education, which would have led to a better life.  They rightly sent their daughters to elite private schools, rather than bad D.C. Public Schools, but denied that choice to those less affluent, thus perpetuating a spirit of hopelessness in those voters who had hoped for something beyond a "let's move" exercise program and a vegetable garden on the White House lawn.

Illinois has the Highest Black Unemployment Rate in the Country.  Illinois has maintained the horrible distinction of having the nation's highest black unemployment rate for the 15th month in a row, according to a new analysis from the Economic Policy Institute, or EPI.  Illinois' black unemployment rate is 14.2 percent, compared to the next highest state, Pennsylvania, at 11.8 percent.  Illinois' slow economic growth and weak industrial job creation, along with heavy regulations on occupational licensing and poor school options for many minority children have had a pronounced effect on black job opportunities.  Ironically, for almost the same duration of time that Illinois has had the highest black unemployment rate, Illinois' Democratic legislative leaders have insisted economic reforms are unnecessary for Illinois' economy, putting them at odds with Gov. Bruce Rauner.

How the Left Strangled Itself With Identity Politics.  Listen up, dimwits:  When you encourage racial pride in all groups except whites, you aren't exactly making a case against "racism."

Senate Dems shamed for nearly all-white top staffers.  Senate Democrats are facing growing pressure to break the white male stranglehold on senior staff positions in their ranks — a push that's uniting consultants and lobbyists inside the Beltway with Black Lives Matter and other minority leaders who are accusing the party of "soft bigotry."  The attacks are prompting uncomfortable discussions among Democrats even as they welcome their historic Senate freshman class, which includes the chamber's first Latina and Indian-American members.  Frustrations over the lack of diversity among the ranks of top Senate Democratic aides began seeping into public view after Hillary Clinton's stunning loss deprived the party's donors and lobbyists of a critical opening to build on the Obama administration's minority-hiring efforts.

Proposed Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Discrimination Against Black Employees at CNN, TBS.  A new court filing alleges that Turner employees faced racial discrimination that held them back in their careers and led to at least one former assistant being fired.  Roughly two dozen current and former employees of CNN and TBS (both owned by Turner) claim that there is a systematic problem with "discriminatory practices being implemented throughout all of Turner's Networks [sic]," according to a complaint filed Tuesday evening [12/6/2016].  The complaint cites statistics showing that black employees at Turner are promoted at a much lower rate than whites.

Black Employees Matter.  Politically-correct broadcaster CNN and its parent company face a big racial discrimination lawsuit in the US.  The class action lawsuit was filed this week by current and former black employees.

Black CNN employees in Atlanta sue the company for racial discrimination claiming they've had lower salaries and fewer promotions for 20 years.  Black employees of CNN are suing the company and its affiliates for racial discrimination.  The class action was filed in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday on behalf of two workers, Celeslie Henley and Ernest Colbert Jr, but alleges widespread discrimination throughout the organizations.  'Dramatic' differences in pay, harsher evaluations for black males and fewer available promotions are among evidence of the prejudice, the lawsuit alleges.

CNN Gleefully Mocks Dr. Ben Carson — Exhibit Stunning Level of Ridicule Against Black Cabinet Nominee.  During a presented Don Lemon discussion panel Monday night [12/5/2016], the severity of ridicule against Dr. Ben Carson was jaw-dropping and unprofessional in the extreme.  Removing all pretense of substantive discussion, Don Lemon, Marc Lamont Hill and Peter Beinart began openly mocking the nomination of Dr. Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  The scope and severity of the exhibited ridicule was so over the top, fellow CNN panelist Brian Stelter was both visibly trying to hide his glee and simultaneously uncomfortable joining in amid the laughter and mockery.

Hello Democrats, I'm Here to Help.  Dear Democratic friends: your tribalist identity politics stinks.  Politics is division, and a very dangerous thing that we all need to keep in its box.  So when you terrify blacks and Hispanics and single women and LGBTs into tribalism with your identity politics you are setting up a monster; you are teaching the white deplorable majority to adopt identity politics too.  Instead, you should be teaching the victims to grow out of their identity ghettos and just become hyphenless responsible American citizens.

30 Blocks of "Black" Friday.  The black voters on the 30 Blocks of Squalor, ignored and taken for granted by Democrat politicians since the 1950s, cast 93% of their votes for Crooked Hillary.  It is baffling how these people would continue to vote for their own servitude, trapped in squalor, dependent upon the state for survival, and wallowing in ignorance produced by government indoctrination public schools.

Keith Ellison Once Proposed Making A Separate Country For Blacks.  Some newly discovered columns shed light on the shocking views expressed by one of the Democrat's favorite politicians.  Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, now in the running to be DNC Chair, has attracted the support of Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Harry Reid.  Many think that Ellison, an African-American Muslim, would make a powerful statement leading the DNC.  Ellison's past has gained attention from the media, with Ellison being accused of anti-Semitism and ties to the Nation of Islam.

In Milwaukee, hard-pressed black voters dumped Clinton.  Wisconsin's largest city is also America's most racially segregated one, according to a study based on the 2010 census.  And Wisconsin served up one of the biggest surprises of an election day that shocked America and the world:  no one thought the midwestern state would fall to the Republican billionaire.  Clinton was so sure of victory she did not even bother to campaign here after the Democratic primaries, instead sending her daughter Chelsea or her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

The MSM Is Right:  There Is a Racist Party in America.  Like their predecessors who fought a war to keep slavery legal, who founded the KKK, who passed the Jim Crow laws, who fought for school segregation, and who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, modern Democrat politicians are constantly working to ensure that blacks be poor, ignorant, and totally dependent on the government.  Slave-owning Democrats believed that blacks were not really smart enough to run their own lives.  Modern Democrat talking heads constantly declare that in a country where Japanese Americans could go from Democrat-mandated prison camps to having one of the highest per household incomes in America, without Democrat help, blacks somehow can't manage to do anything.  It's the same paternalistic attitude that earlier Democrats used to justify slavery.  Of course, the new slavery is different from the old:  instead of picking cotton for hours in the blazing sun, modern blacks only have to vote Democrat, settle for unsafe neighborhoods, and be willing to live with the fact that their children will never get a decent education.

Why I find the black community's response to Trump's election a little embarrassing.  Just fifty years ago, our people were bravely marching for our freedom while facing the threat of bombings, lynchings, and ruthless beatings.  Are we — predominantly middle-class blacks — now going to cower in fear of a few racial slurs?  And for those who think the latter a precursor to the former:  the people making insensitive remarks in your workplace are not the same people who would burn a cross on your lawn.

The left is 'projecting' its own evil onto conservatives.  Everything the left witnesses is shot through the prism of race.  Race is their oxygen, and they can't take a breath without it.  Of late, Lebron James, and the liberal press, thinks a reference to the people with whom he travels as his "posse" is racist.  (The pendulum is hitting the wall.)  Gene Autry and Roy Rogers had posses — was that racist?  The absurdity and prevalence of these instances requires no further comment.  Who invites race into each discussion or dissection of the events of the day?  The "projecting" left.

Why Trump Won.  [Scroll down]  Finally, the more Clinton Inc. talked about the Latino vote, the black vote, the gay vote, the woman vote, the more Americans tired of the same old identity politics pandering.  What if minority bloc voters who had turned out for Obama might not be as sympathetic to a middle-aged, multimillionaire white woman?  And what if the working white classes might flock to the politically incorrect populist Trump in a way that they would not to a leftist elitist like Hillary Clinton?  In other words, the more Clinton played the identity politics card, the more she earned fewer returns for herself and more voters for Trump.

The Media's Mass Delusion About Donald Trump.  [Scroll down]  This pitch for journalists to throw objectivity to the wind was eagerly seconded by Hillary Clinton, who spoke to the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists at their joint gathering in Washington, saying:  "Now I think journalists have a special responsibility to our democracy in a time like this."  That "special responsibility", of course, meaning these journalists should use their reporting to attack her opponent.  (And note well the irony:  Trump was accused by Rutenberg, the Times and the Post among many, many other others of being a racist.  The fact that Clinton addressed not one but two groups of journalists who quite openly divided themselves into racial groupings of "black journalists" and "Hispanic journalists" caused no one to blink, much less think twice.)

Is Affirmative Action the New Noblesse Oblige?  The idea of a privileged class bestowing gifts and benefits to lower classes — their economic and social inferiors, by definition — rubs against our egalitarian principles.  It's an implicitly condescending attitude, but that's not the worst part.  Noblesse oblige was despised in Revolutionary France because it inhibited social progress.  As the peasantry pushed for meaningful reforms that might transform the state of their condition, French patricians patted themselves on the back for bestowing kindness on the poor peasants, remaining oblivious to their actual grievances.  There seems to be a bit of a parallel here to affirmative action policies in the United States.

Black Church Leaders:  Democratic Party 'Asks for Everything, Gives Nothing'.  Leaders of the black church in America are reminding black voters that the Democratic Party has "sold out the black community and our Christian heritage," and they are urging blacks across the country to abandon the Democratic Party this election day. [...] "As someone who wants to see our community grow stronger and more prosperous, and who wants to see family and faith respected and preserved, I find that the Democratic Party no longer has room for me," says Rev. Owens.  "I realized that my relationship with the Democrats was completely one-sided.  They asked for everything — support, votes, loyalty.  And gave nothing in return."

Black Leaders to Their Voters: 'We Won't Allow Ourselves to Be Used' by Democratic Party.  Leaders of the black church in America are urging African American voters to abandon the Democratic Party once and for all as Election Day approaches.  In new videos released today, Rev. William Owens and his wife Dr. Deborah Owens of the Coalition of African American Pastors say the relationship between the black community and Democrats in America is "one-sided."

How white liberals really view black voters.  Ami Horowitz produced this wonderful clip for Fox News titled, "How white liberals really view black voters."  The concept is simple.  He heads to the progressive bastion of Berkeley, California and does a series of man-on-the-street interviews, asking white people about voter ID laws.  A number of people volunteer that voter ID laws are a bad idea and also racist.

Low turnout in early voting reveals Hillary Clinton's limited appeal among blacks.  Democrats' fears are coming true about Hillary Clinton's limited appeal among blacks, as numbers from early-voting states show the bloc isn't as fired up for the Democratic nominee as it was for President Obama.  In key battleground states such as Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, early voting patterns show that blacks aren't casting ballots in the same numbers they did four years ago, when they helped propel Mr. Obama to re-election.

Hillary eats soul food, campaigns in churches to boost lagging black turnout.  Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's tours of soul food restaurants and black churches to court black voters in recent weeks doesn't seem to be paying off.  The turnout of black voters is down in many areas compared to 2012, including key battleground states, providing the latest evidence that the former first lady's campaign may be circling the drain. [...] The black voter turnout in the key state of North Carolina is down 16 percent in early voting.  It's a similar situation in Florida, where black voters heading to the polls in person has decreased from 25 percent in 2012 to a current rate of 15 percent, despite expanded early voting opportunities.

Project Veritas Video — Top Democrat Donors Compare Black Republicans To Nazi Sympathizers.  In this video released by Project Veritas Action, a top Democratic donor is caught on camera disparaging members of the African American community at a fundraiser for North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Deborah Ross.  In the video, prominent Ross donor Benjamin Barber expresses his opinion about blacks who vote Republican by comparing them to Nazis.

Clinton ally compares black Republicans to Jews who aided Nazis in Project Veritas video.  A longtime Clinton ally and donor has a theory about black Republicans:  They're like the Jewish guards in concentration camps who tried to save their own skins by helping the Nazis kill Jews.  In a hidden-camera video released Wednesday by Project Veritas Action, author and academic Benjamin R. Barber compared black Republicans to the "Sonderkommandos" during a Sept. 19 fundraiser for North Carolina Senate candidate Deborah Ross.  He described the Sonderkommandos as "Jewish guards who in effect helped murder Jews in the camps so they could live a little longer."

Dem Strategist:  Clinton Should Be In "Panic Mode" Over Enthusiasm Gap With Black Voters, "Nothing She Can Do," "It's Over".  Leslie Wimes, the president of the Democratic African-American women's caucus, joins MSNBC's Hallie Jackson to discuss the Clinton campaign being in "panic mode" about low voter enthusiasm in the black community.  "We love President Obama," she said.  "That doesn't transfer to Hillary Clinton by osmosis."  "It's over now as far as the African-American community is concerned.  She had time back then to get into the community and get people out to vote.  Now, you know, the numbers are the numbers.  There's nothing she can do now."

Black faith leaders reproach Hillary Clinton on religious freedom as enthusiasm chills.  On the 499th anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 Theses, a group of black minsters is nailing a missive to the door of the Democratic Party demanding a political reformation on the issues black people care about.  Delivered to Hillary Clinton's campaign headquarters on Monday [10/31/2016], the blistering letter is signed by more than 25 interdenominational black bishops and pastors, and finds fault with the Democratic presidential nominee's lackluster commitment to religious liberty, wholesale adoption of the LGBT movement's agenda and uncompromising support for abortion rights.

Black Leaders Warn Of Clinton Threat To Religious Liberty In Blistering Letter.  Black leaders slammed Hillary Clinton's position toward the poor in a letter delivered to her campaign Monday, saying her economic ideas won't help black communities in crisis and that her social views pose a threat to their religious liberty.  "Today in the United States more than ten million people of African descent face a crisis of catastrophic proportions," the letter begins.  "Life in our major post-industrial centers can be poor, nasty, brutish and short."

Blacks aren't supposed to catch on.  For those who don't remember, Eric Garner was the New York City resident who died following an altercation with police over his selling loose cigarettes.  After police wrestled him to the ground, Garner was whisked away and later died of a heart attack.  Ms. Garner is furious over the emails that show the Clinton people discussing how best to use Garner's death for the campaign.

Blacks aren't supposed to catch on.  [Scroll down]  But the truth is, Democrats have been using blacks to push their agenda for decades.  Their one hope has been that blacks don't catch on to that fact.  Hillary's campaign has been using blacks as pawns since the very beginning.  She needs their votes so desperately that nothing is off the table.  Hillary glommed on to the "Mothers of the Movement" group not because she cares about blacks, but because she cares about black votes.

Wikileaks: Erica Garner Rips Clinton Campaign for Calculating How to 'Use' Father's Death.  Erica Garner took to social media to express her outrage at private conversations from Hillary Clinton's campaign — which revealed political calculations on how they would use the death of her father in messaging.

Clinton Foundation Left Harlem For Wall Street Space With Goldman Sachs.  Clinton Foundation officials decided in 2011 to move their offices from Harlem to the Wall Street financial district in lower Manhattan and share the office with financial giant Goldman Sachs, according to a WikiLeaks email made public Friday [10/14/2016].  It moved into one of the most prestigious addresses in the financial district.  The building's owner boasts that 77 Water Street "sits at the epicenter of New York's financial district," and "is considered one of Wall Street's most recognizable buildings."  It was a far cry from 2001 when former President Bill Clinton proudly spoke in front of 2,000 people extolling his commitment to the poor people of Harlem.

Former Clinton Admin Chef:  Hillary Called Black Servant the 'N-Word', Clintons Made Racist Comments on a Routine Basis.  Hillary Clinton angrily referred to a black servant as the n-word, according to a bombshell claim by Tracey Martin, a former traveling chef who worked under the first Clinton administration.

Dunbar High School After 100 Years.  In 1899, when it was called "the M Street School," a test was given in Washington's four academic public high schools, three white and one black.  The black high school scored higher than two of the three white high schools.  Today, it would be considered Utopian even to set that as a goal, much less expect to see it happen.  The M Street School had neither of two so-called "prerequisites" for quality education.  There was no "diversity."  It was an all-black school from its beginning, and on through its life as a high quality institution under the name Dunbar High School.  But its days as a high quality institution ended abruptly in the middle of the 1950s.  After that, it became just another failing ghetto school.

Globalism, Soros, and Charlotte:  Now I Get It.  It's obvious.  They divide and conquer.  They set the people in each nation state against each other.  They divide them up by class, by race, by gender, by tribe:  Black Lives Matter; La Raza; Human Rights Campaign, CAIR.  With one ring to rule them all.  So that is why George Sauron and all the top-tier foundations are funding groups like Black Lives Matter.  That is why the globalists are all in favor of unlimited immigration.  The more that the people in America think of themselves as black or white or Hispanic or gay or Muslim rather than American, the easier it is for the global elite to "pierce the shell of state sovereignty" while we are all busy fighting each other.

The Left Insists On Everything Being A Consideration Of Race.  The lack of common sense among liberals is astounding.  On Fox's afternoon program "The Five" one hears the program's liberal member, Juan Williams, boringly often complaining that young black men are killed by police at a greater rate than their racial representation in the nation would predict, ignoring the fact that young black men commit crimes out of all proportion to the number of blacks in the larger population.  Eric Bolling, one of the conservative members of the program, has repeatedly reminded Williams that even though blacks make up a small percentage of the American population, they are sought out by the police in proportion to their commission of crimes, not in proportion to their racial percentage of the population, and the number of crimes they commit is far greater than their shear percentage of the overall population.

Charlotte riots, Tulsa doesn't.  For inexplicable reasons, leftists believe that the violence wrought by angry minorities will benefit them, so they encourage it.  They subsidize it.  Obama has given his not-so-tacit permission to riot every time one of these tragic events occurs, from the Henry Louis Gates minor incident to the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and the Dallas officers.  And now BLM is rolling in money, $100M from "social justice" organizations.  Soros gave them $33M.  What we see in Charlotte is what they pay for.  They are not wasting their money in Tulsa because Oklahoma is in the bag for Trump.

Farrakhan to Obama:  Let Trump Do Want He Wants, You Failed Inner City Blacks.  Sunday at the Men's Day program hosted at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, DC, Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan said to President Barack Obama, "Your people are suffering and dying in the streets," of Chicago, so "you failed to do what should have been done."  Farrakhan continued by saying it is time to let Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do "what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy."

DOJ Sends Same Unit to Charlotte That Helped Ferguson, Baltimore Rioters Organize.  In moments of social unrest featuring violence and crime, one would expect the only proper role of the taxpayer-funded federal government is to quash the disturbance.  However, a unit of progressive attorneys within the Department of Justice has been at the center of every significant riot during the Obama administration, and this unit — the Community Relations Service, or CRS — was not at those scenes to protect the safety of all citizens.  In fact, the CRS was caught encouraging the chaos.  Not only did CRS side only with the protesters and not with law enforcement, they actively facilitated the protests, even as they were turning violent.  Additionally, this same unit has a serious fraud and corruption problem.

Prepare For a Massive Racial Onslaught From The Professional Left.  Hillary Clinton is in a complete state of electoral collapse.  Her polling is far worse than what the media is capable of propping up.  Once the professional left cross a particular desperation threshold, what follows becomes predictable; this will be similar to Brexit's "Operation Fear" only with a traditional American-left-wing twist, the use of race to drive the needed division.  Before laying out substance for this tripwire prediction, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to grasp the scope of what they are going to attempt to pull off.

Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans.  Regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump's rise will force the Democratic Party to eventually have to address how its elected officials have neglected black Americans, its most loyal constituency.  The Democratic Party's worse nightmare happened when Donald Trump reached out to black Americans at a campaign rally in Wisconsin.  Trump's outreach was prefaced by challenging blacks to do an honest assessment of their return on investment after 50 years of voting Democrat.  The most damning words that Trump spoke were "what [...] do you have to lose" by voting Trump?  The last thing Democrats want blacks to do is to ponder that very question, knowing that the answer is nothing.

Liberals Claim To Know What Hispanics Want Better Than Hispanics Do.  Recent articles in The Thinker and The Hill express the position that Hispanics have broader and more areas of concern in life than the single subject of immigration when they consider the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump.  They care even more for the economy, health care, jobs and the deficit because these subject impact their lives and the lives of their families more than the appeal and faux persuasiveness of immigration.  And very often Hispanics who are American citizens don't want immigration reform, they want our immigration laws enforced and illegals kept out because criminals crossing our border are as much a threat to them and their welfare as it is to any other American citizen.

Joy Reid:  Not True That Republicans Passed Civil Rights for African-Americans That Democrats Opposed.  Saturday on MSNBC's "AM Joy," host Joy Reid disagreed with chairman of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida Sean P. Jackson when he said that if it was not for Republicans, African-Americans would still be enslaved.

Racial Issues.  [Scroll down]  The relations between the police and the black community are another issue that has gotten a lot of attention, and produced counterproductive results.  After all the rhetoric and all the efforts towards more tightly restraining the police, the net result has been that murder rates have soared in cities where that policy has been followed — and most of the people killed have been black.  None of the most popular political panaceas for helping black communities has a track record of making things better, and some have made things much worse.

Hillary's 'Deplorable' Ain't the Half of It.  Let's have a reality check about the -isms and the -phobias.  Racism is a problem?  You mean in the country that went to war to free the slaves, that passed the civil rights acts?  That elected a black president?  Sexism?  You mean the country that gave women the vote, that has encouraged women, indeed, has mandated that women get preference at the university and the workplace?  Homophobia?  You mean the country that doesn't riot in indignation when elite gays get to harass the little people for not wanting to bake a gay wedding cake?  Islamophobia?  You mean the country in which a supermarket checker gets to wear the hijab, a defiant statement of separation and act of segregation in my book, and gets to live to tell the tale?  You know what I think?  I think that the ordinary white middle class has shown the most amazing patience and sturdiness as they have marked time for the last 50 years while liberals deployed government force to help blacks, women, gays, Hispanics, Muslims at their expense.

Why Is Hillary Clinton Still Honoring A Segregationist And Anti-Semite?  Has anyone asked Hillary Clinton if the segregationist and anti-Semite J. William Fulbright was "deplorable?"  Seems like a reasonable question, since we're playing this game.  After all, her name is on the prestigious J. William Fulbright-Hillary Rodham Clinton Public Policy Fellowship.  Fulbright wasn't just a nut with despicable ideas about minorities.  He was gifted, influential politician who for decades worked to keep the races segregated through state force.  He signed the Southern Manifesto (he helped edit it, actually), opposed Brown v. Board, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  He even voted against Hawaiian statehood to keep its large non-white population out of the union.

Why African Americans should desert Clinton and the Democrats.  The Democrats, including most notably Hillary Clinton, want to distract us from the reality that their "Big Government" programs and policies have failed to deliver widespread prosperity, and in particular have harmed black Americans, who keep falling further behind in academics and earnings.  The distraction comes in the form of a virulent "us-versus-them" mentality directed against Republicans and conservatives — as though they are the cause of the blacks' fading prospects — when the true culprit is the liberal-progressive element that dominates the Democratic Party.  This strategy may get votes for Hillary Clinton, but it is profoundly immoral, because it victimizes all of us, especially blacks.

Young Blacks Voice Skepticism on Hillary Clinton, Worrying Democrats.  "What am I supposed to do if I don't like him and I don't trust her?" a millennial black woman in Ohio asked.  "Choose between being stabbed and being shot?  No way!"  "She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail," a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.  "He's a racist, and she is a liar, so really what's the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?" another young black woman from Ohio said.

Hillary Cares About You?  Ask the Haitians She Ripped Off.  The group of Haitians demonstrating on the sidewalk at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia were furious with Bill and Hillary Clinton.  A passionate Haitian-American named Joseph Mathieu frankly accused the couple of "destroying Haiti for the decades.  They pretend to be our friends when in reality they are our number one enemies... the Clintons were running Haiti, stealing our money, our resources and we are out here, outraged for the crimes of the Clintons!"  Then Mathieu labeled the international power couple racists:  "The Clintons don't like black people," he thundered.  "All they do is more welfare, more jails, more food stamps — we don't need that, we need more opportunity, more education!"

5 Eye-Opening Revelations In The Dems' Secret 'Black Lives Matter' Memo.  An internal memo drafted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee last November saw the light of day this week when The Smoking Gun posted the two-page document on its website.  The memo — written by the DCCC's then-diversity director Troy Perry — explains how congressmen and their staff should "respond to the tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement."  But it also reveals some things that Perry probably never intended.

Don't anger Black Lives Matters activists by mentioning 'black-on-black crime': What Democratic staff were told.  In the midst a spate of Black Lives Matter protests that put presidential candidates on the spot during speeches last year, a staffer for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee coached Democratic staffers on how to avoid antagonizing the group.  The memo, which was published on the web site of hacker Guccifer 2.0, provides step-by-step guidance on how candidates can avoid ticking off protesters.  "Do not say 'all lives matter' and nor [sic] mention 'black on black crime,'" it advises.  "If approached by BLM activists, campaign staff should offer to meet with local activists.  Invited BLM attendees should be limited," according to the memo.

Obama's Indian Policy Threatens All Americans, Both Tribal and Non-tribal Citizens.  Tragically, among the most seriously harmed victims in this federal government/tribal government collusion are the vast majority of tribal families that, for the most part, are still living in poverty and squalor.  Meanwhile, tribal leaders, the Indian lobbyist industry, and their paid politicians pocket not only huge casino profits, but also the unaudited rivers of cash provided by the U.S. taxpayers via the ever-expanding proliferation of federal programs.  The politicians, tribal leaders, and their propagandists adroitly exploit the sympathies of decent Americans and manipulate their feelings of guilt over past wrongs (both real and fictional) against the Indian tribes.  But their real goal is building their own wealth and power, not alleviating the plight of the tribal members.

The Real Racist in the 2016 Presidential Race.  Aside from attempting to block the Civil Rights Act, the Democrats have a rich racist history, conveniently overlooked by the media and the Democrats themselves.  The KKK originated with the Democrats.  Founded in 1866, it was "a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks."  Not a Republican creation; instead, "the organization saw its primary goal — the reestablishment of white supremacy — fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s."  Ignored by Mrs. Clinton and her media fanboys who continue trying to tie the KKK to the GOP.

Claims of Racism Are The Last Refuge Of A Shrill Harridan.  Hillary's racism lie, in which she linked Republicans to the kreepy klown kar her party created and in which her senatorial mentor Robert Byrd served as a Grand Imperial Cyborg Wizard Dragon or something, was not just your typical leftist slander against normal Americans.  It was an attempt to marginalize fully 40% of the electorate desperate enough to avoid her no-doubt catastrophic reign by voting for Donald Trump.  She and the left want to write this entire chunk of the electorate out of any voice in their own governance by authorizing her progressive supporters to disregard any duty to consider, represent or respect those alleged troglodytes.

Sorry, Hillary:  Trump's policies are clearly better for blacks.  On everything from education to jobs to crime, Trump's policies offer a lifeline to people who have been losing ground for decades.  Hillary's policies will just exacerbate them.  And no amount of speeches will change that.  On education, Trump strongly supports school choice.  This would give inner-city blacks a way out of horribly performing public schools.  Clinton attacks charters and clearly opposes other forms of school choice, opting to protect teachers unions at the expense of students.  And who's harmed the most by illegal immigration?  Who's most likely to suffer unemployment or wage reductions due to the added competition?  Young, unskilled blacks and Hispanics.  The biggest beneficiaries?  Wealthy people who get to pay less for lawn care and housecleaning.  But crime is the immediate, life-and-death issue for so many blacks and Hispanics trapped in high-crime urban areas.  Too many come to physical harm, have their property stolen, or lose their jobs as businesses are driven from their neighborhoods.  Clinton seems more focused on helping criminals rather than their victims.

Flashback: KKK gave Hillary $20,000 — 'Clinton is our choice'.  Hillary Clinton is poised to give a speech today supposedly tying Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan, but she likely won't address the $20,000 the group says it gave her.  "For the KKK, Clinton is our choice," Will Quigg, a Grand Dragon in a California branch of the KKK, said in April.  "She is friends with the Klan," Quigg said.  "A lot of people don't realize that.  She's friends with Senator Byrd.  He's been an Exulted Cyclops in the Klan.  He's been King Kleagle."

White House rejects Trump's claim that blacks are worse off under Obama.  Despite government data supporting Donald Trump's claim that blacks are worse off under President Obama, the White House insisted Thursday [8/25/2016] that blacks have made progress under the first black president and that the Republican nominee would reverse those gains.  Mr. Trump's pitch that black Americans have "nothing to lose" by voting for him is clearly irritating the White House, which tried but failed to muster much convincing evidence that life for blacks in America has improved over the past eight years.

Hillary's Race War.  Hillary Clinton has met with leaders of a racist hate group responsible for torching cities and inciting the murders of police officers.  Deray McKesson, one of the Black Lives Matter hate group leaders she met with, had praised the looting of white people and endorsed cop killers Assata Shakur and Mumia Abu-Jamal.  The Black Lives Matter hate group had specifically made a point of targeting white people in "white spaces" for harassment.  It would go on to incite the mass murder of police officers in Dallas and other racist atrocities.  Despite all this, Hillary Clinton has never disavowed the racist hate group.  Instead she doubled down on supporting the hate group and its icons at the Democratic National Convention.  Now, after Trump's appeal to the black community, Hillary is desperately trying to divide us by race.

Trump: Democrats Have Run Cities For Decades And "Have Produced Only Poverty, Failing Schools and Broken Homes".  Donald Trump rips Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party for leaving the black and Latino community in poverty.  "The Democratic party has run nearly every inner city for 50 years, 60 years, 70 years, and even more than 100 years they have produced only poverty, failing schools, and broken homes," Trump said at a Monday night [8/22/2016] campaign rally in Akron, Ohio.  "Hillary Clinton has totally forgotten the first rule of public service, the job of an elected official is to serve the citizens of the United States," Trump also said.

Donald Trump to black voters: 'What do you have to lose?'.  Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has made a direct appeal to African-American voters, saying "What do you have to lose?"  Mr Trump told a nearly all-white audience in Michigan that black voters "are living in poverty" and their "schools are no good".  He promised to "produce" for African-Americans where Democrats had failed.  "If you keep voting for the same people, you will keep getting exactly the same result," he said.

Irony Squared:  Could Donald Trump Be the Savior of Black America?  Be careful what you wish for, as they say, because Holder and Obama — whatever they pretended and pretend to themselves and others — were seeking to use this dialogue to expand the liberal/progressive agenda for minority communities initiated by Lyndon Johnson, which largely has been a disaster by almost all measures compared to the majority culture.  The principal substantive result to come from Johnson's War on Poverty was the validation of that famous prediction attributed to the Texan:  "I'll have those [N-words] voting for us for the next two hundred years." That proved to be true and the outcome of that repulsive statement, these days, is the black family has been decimated, African-American unemployment (particularly among the young) is massive, and violence is extreme and growing in their urban neighborhoods.  Obama and Holder, intelligent men, must realize this on some level, which makes their adherence to the same strategy — more and more welfare, more and more food stamps, more and more reliance on government, year after year — more than slightly sinister, even veering to the sadistic.

The Scourge Of Racism In America.  Oh yes, there is significant racism in America today.  It is alive and well, and it is systemic.  Not in the way progressive activists would have you believe — that it's "open season on young black men," for example — but in the way the Democratic Party views and treats black Americans.  It's every bit as nefarious and damaging as Democrats' segregationist past; only this time the bigotry is couched in compassion. [...] To say Democrats take black voters for granted is an understatement.  To take someone for granted is to be confident they'll always be there, no matter how you treat them.

Trump: The Democrats Have Taken Advantage Of African-American Voters.  [Scroll down]  "My opponent, Hillary, would rather protect the offender than the victim," he said.  "That is a big problem in our society."  He continued:  "Hillary Clinton-backed policies are responsible for the problems in the inner cities today and a vote for her is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime, and lost opportunities.  I care too much about my country to let this happen."  At this, the crowd broke into a chant of:  "USA! USA! USA!"

Lamont Hill:  Just Because Poor Cities Are Run by Democrats, Doesn't Mean Democrats Are to Blame.  On Wednesday's [8/17/2016] CNN New Day, Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans.  While Bongino argued that democrat run cities have failed black communities, Lamont Hill claimed that poverty and Democrat machines are connected, but that "doesn't mean" being a Democrat makes you poor.  After Cuomo brought up a new ABC News/WSJ poll that predicted only one percent of blacks would vote for Trump, he asked Bongino why Trump was unable to make the case to blacks that their Democrat-run communities would only keep them in poverty.

Lying Black Folks to Death.  Leftists — aided by our corrupt news media — are past masters of replacing truth with narrative. [...] When it comes to the problems of black Americans, the left outdoes itself in the art of deception.  Virtually every assertion of the violent Black Lives Matter hate movement is a falsehood.  Even the name of this vicious collection of groups is offensive.  When challenged by those who respond with "All Lives Matter," the BLM people thug-splain that what they really meant was "Black Lives Matter too."  But this assumes that white people don't know this, that blacks in this country are treated as if their lives matter less than others.

Clinton Chooses Black Lives Matter Over Law Enforcement Support.  Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton pursued the endorsement of Black Lives Matter activists but blew off the largest police union in the United States.  After almost a year of meeting with Black Lives Matter representatives, Clinton failed to garner the support of the movement's co-founder Alicia Garza, but she managed to receive the endorsement of mothers championed by the Black Lives Matter movement.  Garza recently slammed Clinton, saying the former secretary of state only "uses black people for votes" and "photo ops," but doesn't "do anything for black communities" after getting elected.

DNC Corruption At the Core — The Latest Evidence.  [Scroll down] The DNC emails also prove how they take for granted the Hispanic and the black vote.  Multiple emails from DNC staffers referred to the "buckets" of voters, based on race.  They further prove how they take those voters for granted by claiming that they are the most "brand-loyal" voters for the party.  It should be immensely disturbing to those voters that they're assumed to be so loyal that they are merely blind puppets of the party that panders to their special interests.  Equally disturbing was the pejorative way they are sometimes referenced by the DNC.  One staff member, and Obama campaign veteran, Rebecca Christopher, referred to their courtship of Hispanic voters as "taco bowl outreach."  That kind of "branding" should cause all sentient Hispanic voters to rethink their commitment and fealty to the DNC.

Obama's news conference:  Everything wrong with Democrats, encapsulated.  In President Obama's news conference [8/4/2016], he was correct that so many young people going to prison has devastated communities, but he fails to recognize that many of the policies that he and the Democrats advocate contribute greatly to the problem.  The anti-poverty Great Society programs from the 1960s contributed greatly to the breakup of families, especially minority families.  The majority of minority children are born out of wedlock, and single parenthood is the greatest indicator of who will end up in poverty and dependent on government.  Democrats generally want to expand these programs, even with their terrible results.  It helps greatly to have two parents as role models.  Also, it is generally Democrats who block big box stores from building in inner cities.  This takes away opportunities for inner-city youth to start moving up the economic ladder.  This causes teens and young adults to be on the street more or join gangs, and this causes more young people to commit crimes and end up in prison.  Now Democrats want to massively increase the minimum wage which, along with other costly regulations like Obamacare, further takes away opportunities.

Michelle Obama and the Content of Her Character.  [Scroll down]  She and her husband cannot shed the belief that "being an authentic black person involves in some elemental way seeing oneself as an object of mistreatment by white people, while participating in a collective consciousness of that mistreatment with other black people."  Thus, America is reminded that Michelle "wakes up every morning in a house that was built by slaves."  Does she explain that Hillary Clinton — the woman she supports — received enormous sums of money from countries where slavery still exists?  Does Michelle proudly assert the enormous strides America has made in ending slavery whereas the African nation of Mauritania is now the number one slave capital of the world?  Does Michelle acknowledge the blood spilled by black and white people who despised slavery and gave the last true measure of their devotion?  Does the First Lady acknowledge that the Democratic Party voted against the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments?  Does she remind her audience that the Republican Party was the party of ending slavery and that the KKK was actually the military arm of the Democratic Party?  Hardly.

Do Black Lives Really Matter to Democrats?  The Black Lives Matter movement arose in 2014 in response to what it perceived as a spike in extrajudicial killings of unarmed African-American men by police officers.  An analysis of police killings of black men from January of 2013 through June of 2016, though, shows that the cities in which the vast majority of these killings occurred were in cities that the Democratic Party has controlled for generations.  According to data compiled by the Mapping Police Violence research collaborative, there are 67 city police departments whose officers have killed two or more black men since the beginning of 2013.  Just seven of those departments are in cities with a Republican mayor.

The secret history of the Democratic Party.  [P]rogressives who are forced to acknowledge the Democratic Party's pro-slavery history promptly respond, "We admit to being the party of slavery, and we did uphold the institution for more than a century, but slavery ended in 1865, so all of this was such a long time ago.  You can't blame us now for the antebellum wrongs of the Democratic Party."  Yes, but what about the postbellum crimes of the Democratic Party?  From Democratic support for slavery, let's turn to the party's complicity in segregation and the Ku Klux Klan.  Democrats in the 1880s invented segregation and Jim Crow laws that lasted through the 1960s.  Democrats also came up with the "separate but equal" rationale that justified segregation and pretended that it was for the benefit of African Americans.  The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee by a group of former confederate soldiers; its first grand wizard was a confederate general who was also a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. [...] Leading Democrats including at least one president, two Supreme Court justices, and innumerable Senators and Congressmen were Klan members.  The last one, Robert Byrd, died in 2010 and was eulogized by President Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

Black Votes Matter.  If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined.  This is highly unlikely, given the approach used by Republicans.  However, the point is that Democrats must not only continue to get nine-tenths of black votes, they also need to get a high turnout of black voters on election day.  People who expected the election of President Barack Obama to lead to racial healing and a post-racial society failed to take account of the political reality that racial healing and a post-racial society would, at a minimum, reduce black voter turnout.  Black votes matter to many politicians — more so than black lives.

Keith Ellison Embarrassed After Falsely Calling Racist Democrat George Wallace a Republican.  Rep. Tom Cole (R., Okla.) embarrassed Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) on ABC Sunday morning [7/24/2016] when the latter falsely claimed that former Democratic Alabama governor George Wallace was a Republican.  Wallace is perhaps best remembered as being one of the most strident supporters of segregation in the 20th century.  He sought the Democratic nomination for president multiple times, with racist stances as a key of his platform.  In 1968, he ran as the American Independent Party candidate and received 46 electoral votes, making him the most recent third-party candidate to capture votes in the Electoral College.  Ellison was attacking Donald Trump when he made his false charge.

Racist DNC Email Flagrantly Makes Fun Of Black Woman's Name.  Democratic operatives made fun of a black woman's name in an email chain recently leaked by the website Wikileaks.  An email with Scott Comer, the finance chief of staff and LGBT finance director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Zachary Allen with the firm TIPAH Consulting, makes fun of LaQueenia Gibson's name.  Gibson is an executive assistant for the company Haddad Brands.

Check Out The Incredibly Racist DNC Emails Uncovered In The WikiLeaks Document Dump.  Democrats have long styled themselves as champions of American minorities.  However, the DNC emails recently released by WikiLeaks paint a much more dark picture of the Democratic National Committee.  One email, addressed to DNC Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer, pokes fun at the name of an African American Executive Assistant for apparel company Haddad Brands named LaQueenia Gibson.  "LaQueenia is a NAME!" the email reads.  "I'm sorry, boo.  I hope you got a raise with this title."

The Anti-Cop President.  [The 1960s] sexual revolution removed the stigma from out-of-wedlock pregnancy.  An explosion of inner-city illegitimacy ensued, with between 70 and 90 percent of black children born to single mothers, depending on the city. [...] So by the early 1990s, murders in New York, for example — mostly by young black men killing other blacks — were occurring on average every four hours, every day.  The same spirit of elite racial contrition made generous welfare payments, with virtually no questions asked, seem like appropriate reparations for the long mistreatment of African Americans.  In this way, government ended up enabling the spread of out-of-wedlock childbearing, which the culture had legitimated.  But those fatherless welfare families proved far from ideal for raising successful, law-abiding children.  What came to be called the cycle of poverty — single parenthood, school dropout, drug use, crime, non-work, welfare dependency — went into overdrive.

Obama Is The Last Person To Turn To For Healing And Peace.  [Scroll down]  The Democrats have established their future voting block and re-election efforts on poor people, disproportionately black under the Obama administration, whose population is also disproportionately unemployed and poorly educated with no fathers in the home and whose mothers are swamped with too many welfare children to raise alone on a barely existent welfare budget and living in crime-ridden areas.

Ignorance of Facts Fuels the Anti-Cop 'Movement'.  After the shooting deaths of black suspects at the hands of the police in Minnesota and Louisiana, Hillary Clinton said, "White people ... have to start listening to the legitimate cries" of black people.  This is the usual kind of condescending pap we always hear from Democrats.  But in their case, the reason is votes.  In order for the Democratic Party to maintain the 95 percent monolithic hold they have with black voters, they need to create scenarios of anger and fear against so-called "structural" or "institutional" or "systemic" racism. [...] And there's this.  What's hard about complying with a cop's order so you don't get shot?  There is no right to defy a lawful order.

How The War On Drugs Fails Black Communities.  Writing for the Cato Institute, John McWhorter noted:  "It has become a norm for black children to grow up in single-parent homes, their fathers away in prison for long spells and barely knowing them.  In poor and working-class black America, a man and a woman raising their children together is, of all things, an unusual sight."  The drug war plays an oversize role in this trend.  Keeping drugs illegal makes selling them more profitable than they would otherwise be.  As such, the war on drugs creates incentives for young black men to seek employment in the drug business rather than seek lower-paying legal employment.  This incentive structure unfortunately starts a vicious circle of incarceration followed by "a failure to build the job skills for legal employment that serve as a foundation for a productive existence in middle and later life," McWhorter continued.

11 Horrible Things Hillary Said To The NAACP About Cops And Race.  On Monday [7/18/2016], Hillary Clinton descended on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to pander to black Americans by bashing the police while telling black folks that every complaint they ever had about the cops is fully justified.  Hillary's ham-handed approach to pandering has been well-established:  whether she's painting herself as a Hispanic abuela or Tweeting in fluent Spanish or pretending she carries around hot sauce to pander to black radio hosts, Hillary's pandering is obvious and mechanical.

America's Worst President?  [Scroll down]  Believing that welfare payments constituted well-deserved reparations for 300 years of slavery and oppression, we New Yorkers created a come-and-get-it dole that ended up with one in eight of our neighbors on the welfare rolls — paid for by the rest of us and resulting in a multi-generational underclass.  We entertained the foolish notion that black crime was a manly revolt against oppression — that black criminals were only protesting against the closure of all avenues of honest advancement for their race, as well as against the daily humiliation heaped on African-Americans.  The resulting depolicing of black neighborhoods and unwillingness of courts to punish black criminals drove crime to Hobbesian levels and turned minority neighborhoods into killing fields, where mothers put their kids to bed in the bathtub, trying to keep them safe from stray bullets.  They would never send them out for a bottle of milk or take them into the street to learn to ride a bike.

Black against White.  Anyone who believed that Obama's policies were going to improve the lives of black Americans were oblivious to reality.  Economic advancement comes through hard work, coupled by the right policies.  Obama offered the wrong policies and allowed people to think that they no longer needed to put in the extra hours.  He would take care of them, would liberate them from the oppressive shackles of white racism.  His constituents refuse to see Obama as a Pied Piper so they continue to keep blaming white people.  Obama has not failed them.  White racists have obstructed his agenda and did not allow it to benefit them.  Yet, if you tell blacks that they are not responsible for their lives and tht anything bad that they do is the fault of their white puppet-masters, you are teaching a debilitating lesson.  They are learning that they are not responsible for their own actions.  If the deck is stacked against you, why bother?  Exonerating blacks while blaming white has been the hallmark of the Obama administration.

Why Dems Try to Break Black Hearts and Only Trump Can Fix It.  This election cycle is dominated by Democrat race-baiting as usual.  Trump's massively popular nationalist platform to stop illegal immigration and suspend Muslim immigration is labeled racist.  What is new are perfidious Republican leaders and pundits rushing to join Democrats in their false accusation against Trump.  Democrats have called every Presidential candidate for decades racist.  They have to.  Telling blacks that Republicans wish them ill keeps Democrats in power.  They don't care about the damage they are doing to the country and to black lives.  Blacks are cannon fodder in the Democrat war for power.  There is something profoundly depressing and pathetic that until Trump, our Republican leaders have been willing to write off the black vote and accept the Democrat poison that our party is made up of racist white people.

One Week After Orlando, Democrats Feature Anti-Gay Imam at Banquet.  On June 19th, the Florida Democratic Party held its annual Leadership Blue Gala event.  US Senator from New Jersey, Cory Booker, was the keynote speaker.  Also listed as speakers were House Democratic Leader-Designate Janet Cruz, Senate Democratic Leader-Designate Oscar Braynon, DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, US Senator Bill Nelson, and Florida Democratic Chair Allison Tant.  However, one of the other speakers, Maulana Shafayat Mohamed, who partook in opening prayers, should have been the main concern.  Shafayat Mohamed is the imam of the Darul Uloom mosque, located in Pembroke Pines, Florida.  The mosque has been a haven for terror-related individuals, many of whom have been imprisoned — or, in one case, killed in an overseas anti-insurgent raid — due to their jihadist activities.

The Modern Enemies of Native Americans.  North America's native tribes are as complex and diverse as the immigrants which now populate the continent.  Historically, the federal government sought devious and violent means to control indigenous populations, and ultimately segregated most tribes by 'giving' them tribal lands and reservations.  This social experiment has failed many Native Americans, yet many more have successfully assimilated into contemporary life and economic activities.  But universally valued by native tribes are their ancient cultural identities and ancestral lands.  Despite "progress," the 21st Century finds the federal government still warring with some native tribes, while the American Left, namely the environmentalist movement, exploits their grievances, real or fabricated, to advance a progressive agenda.  Stories illustrating ongoing conflicts between Native Americans and federal agencies, environmentalist groups, and each other, are many and often heartbreaking.

The Killing Fields of Chicago.  Heather MacDonald's analysis of what is happening in Chicago today is accurate and frightening.  She shows what happens when cynical politicians and idealistic social justice warriors hijack law enforcement to impose a narrative on reality. [...] The larger narrative attempts to explain away the fact that the Obama presidency has been a miserable failure, especially when it comes to the lives of the inner city blacks who supported him so fervently.  As with all things Obama, the president's failures are explained away by racism.  As for the notion of exculpating criminals and terrorists, the response to the terrorist attack on the Pulse nightclub has shown us the pathetic spectacle of leftists, liberals and progressive shifting the blame from Islam, from Muslims and from the Obama administration... onto guns and on Christians.  In their eyes it all comes down to white privilege.

90% of the Racism in America Comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  I am uniquely positioned to say this because I spent most of my life on the Left and was a civil rights worker in the South in my early twenties.  I was also, to my everlasting regret, a donor to the Black Panther Party in the seventies.  So I have seen this personally from both sides and my conclusion is inescapable.  The Left is far, far worse.  They are obsessed with race in a manner that does not allow them to see straight.  Further, they project racism onto others continually, exacerbating situations, which in most instances weren't even there in the first place.  From Al Sharpton to Hillary Clinton, they all do it.  Barack Obama is one of the worst offenders in this regard.

Trump and Democratic Political Incorrectness.  Remember the time a presidential candidate suggested that Gandhi used to run "a gas station down in St.  Louis."  No it wasn't Trump.  That was Hillary Clinton.  Had Trump said it, we would still be hearing about it.  But since Hillary Clinton was responsible for it, it went down the memory hole.  Along with her more recent "Colored People Time" gag.  And who can forget the time that Trump said, "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."  But that wasn't Trump.  It was actually Vice President Joe Biden.  But still it was indisputably offensive when Trump told the Asian Chamber of Commerce, "I don't think you're smarter than anybody else, but you've convinced a lot of us you are."  Then he followed that up by joking, "One problem that I've had today is keeping my Wongs straight."  You would have to be ridiculously politically incorrect or an outright buffoon to say something like that to the Asian Chamber of Commerce.  And this is exactly why Trump is... but wait, those lines actually came from Democratic Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.

Sheriff Clarke:  Democrats 'decimated the black family'.  Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Sunday accused the Democratic Party of "bigotry" that has "decimated the black family."  Clarke, who has become a leading conservative black voice on gun rights and other issues, was responding to Hillary Clinton's charge Saturday evening that a Trump presidency would put "more kids at risk of violence and bigotry."  "If black kids are at risk from anybody, it's from other black kids in black-on-black crime," Clarke said.

The Democratic Party's Evolving Racism Toward Blacks.  [Scroll down]  Perhaps there is no clearer indicator that the Democratic Party cannot shake its historic view of African American potential than affirmative action.  They refuse to consider replacing race based affirmative action with affirmative action based on socio-economic status.  In other words, they insist that colleges lower admission standards for black students from wealthy families as compared to white students from poor families, since the African Americans are (always) "disadvantaged."  Further signs that, in reality, Democrats continue to hold African Americans in low regard is their venomous attack on blacks that don't support the liberal cause.  Today, Democrat treatment of conservative blacks is reminiscent of their treatment of all blacks before the "great party switch" of the 1960s.

Black Pastors Slam Obama Admin's Equivalence of Gender Identity Ideology with Black Civil Rights.  The president of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) says that the Obama administration's assertion that single-sex bathrooms are discriminating against gender-confused individuals in much the same way that blacks experienced discrimination in the United States is a "gross insult" to all who fought for equality for African-Americans.

Where are racial gaps in school test scores worst?  The new national database of school-district test scores created by education researchers at Stanford and Harvard reveals that the single widest white-black racial gap in American public school districts is in the city most synonymous with leftism since 1964: Berkeley, California.  How badly do blacks lag whites in Berkeley public schools?  Berkeley's white-black gap is 1.60 standard deviations.  In other words, the median black student would score at only the 5th percentile if he were white.  Yet, Berkeley is ferociously antiracist.

The Secret Racist History of the Democratic Party.  Have you heard of Josiah Walls or Hiram Rhodes Revels?  How about Joseph Hayne Rainey?  If not, you're not alone.  I taught history and I never knew half of our nation's past until I began to re-educate myself by learning from original source materials, rather than modern textbooks written by progressive Democrats with an agenda.  Interestingly, Democrats have long ago erased these historic figures from our textbooks, only to offer deceitful propaganda and economic enticements in an effort to convince people, especially black Americans, that it's the Democrats rather than Republicans who are the true saviors of civil liberties.  Luckily, we can still venture back into America's real historical record to find that facts are stubborn things.

Why has there been an exodus of black residents from West Coast liberal hubs?  The Black Lives Matter movement has brought the challenges facing black America to the fore, and introduced racially conscious quality-of-life questions into the national debate.  How are black residents in America's cities faring?  And how are those cities doing in meeting the aspirations of their black residents, judged especially by the ultimate barometer: whether blacks choose to move to these cities, or stay in them?  Though results vary to some extent, the broad trend is clear:  West Coast progressive enclaves are either seeing an exodus of blacks or are failing to attract them.  Midwestern and Northeastern urban areas are attracting blacks to the extent that they are affordable or providing middle class economic opportunities.  And Southern cities are now experiencing the most significant gains.

Symbolism Instead of History.  [Scroll down]  In fact, Obama has done little for black people.  Larry Elder lays out the cold hard facts:  "The net worth of all non-white families has fallen almost 20 percent since Obama took office.  For blacks, it's even worse. [...]"  And the black unemployment rate is 9.2 percent, twice that of whites.  Black pundits, professors, and race-baiters have cleaned up on white guilt and vote-trolling Democrats, but blacks most in need have been abandoned.  Having done little for a majority of blacks, Obama instead has peddled the symbolic racial politics of outfits like Black Lives Matter, which claims that there is an epidemic of policemen wantonly gunning down innocent black men in the streets.

The Liberal War on Black Men.  In 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas, then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and former chairman of the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, to replace Thurgood Marshall on the U.S. Supreme Court. [...] The Senate Judiciary Committee, under the chairmanship of now-Vice President Joe Biden, allowed Thomas's nomination hearings to become a circus in which Thomas was dragged through a personal hell, resulting in him saying, after his confirmation:  "Mere confirmation, even to the Supreme Court, seemed pitifully small compensation for what had been done to me." [...] Rather than the nomination and appointment of a black man, who rose from humble and poor roots, to the U.S. Supreme Court, becoming a moment of pride for the nation and for black Americans, it was transformed, at these hearings, into an opportunity for character assassination and shame.

The long war against Clarence Thomas.  In its war for America, the left never rests, sometimes falters but rarely allows itself to fail.  It works tirelessly to "fundamentally transform the nation" and smashes anyone and anything that gets in its way.  Consider the pitched battle it has waged against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over the past quarter-century.  Instead of celebrating and honoring a black man who rose from grinding poverty in the segregated South to sit on the nation's highest court, the left sees an existential threat:  a black pro-life, pro-gun conservative who has spent his life crushing leftist orthodoxy.  He must, therefore, not simply be opposed, but destroyed, regardless of how long it takes.

Report: Chicago police have 'no regard' for minority lives.  Police in Chicago have "no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color" and have alienated blacks and Hispanics for decades by using excessive force and honoring a code of silence, a task force declared Wednesday [4/13/2016] in a report that seeks sweeping changes to the nation's third-largest police force.

Task force accuses Chicago police of institutional racism.  Chicago is once again seething with rage after a deadly shooting by a police officer, the latest in a spate of violence that has strained relations between the community and law enforcement.  Hundreds of residents took to the streets Tuesday night [4/12/2016], one day after authorities identified the person shot and killed by police as 16-year-old Pierre Loury.

The Editor says...
 Before you get angry at the cops, ask yourself this question:  Which political party has ruled Chicago for the last several decades?  If there is a system that condones excessive force and permits a "code of silence," who is to blame?  The correct answer is:  the Democrats!

Sanders Says He'll Apologize For Slavery.  He Should Start By Apologizing For Socialism.  [Scroll down]  Sanders thinks he has a shot at the nomination if he can just pry enough black support away from Hillary.  So he'll say anything, including imputing pro-slavery motivations to his opponents.  In reality, of course, the president apologizing for slavery 150 years after its conclusion only exacerbates racial tensions by reinforcing the notion that America is irredeemably racist; Sanders' protestations that he wants to "wipe the slate clean" are nonsense.  Teaching yet another generation of young black people that America was born in sin and raised in evil and bears a stain that will never be washed away — all of that will do nothing to empower individuals to take responsibility for their own lives.  But Sanders doesn't want individuals taking responsibility for their own lives.  It's government's job to take responsibility for everybody's life — to seize from them their property and their labor for its own ends.  Which, come to think of it, sounds a lot more like involuntary servitude than freedom.

Under Obama, race relations [are] at [an] all-time low.  A poll finds that more than one-third of Americans say they worry "a great deal" about the state of race relations in the United States, the highest number in the poll's 15-year span.  Thirty-five percent of Americans in the Gallup survey released Monday [4/11/2016] said they are extremely worried about the state of race relations, up from 28 percent in 2015.  That number is also up by more than 100 percent since 2014, when 17 percent of Americans said they were greatly worried about racial strife in America.  The numbers fluctuated in the teens during President Obama's first six years in office, but race relations tumbled to a new low during the first black president's last two years.

Magic Honky Theory.  For as long as most people reading this have been alive, the cult in charge of America has preached the need for full integration.  This has led to endless campaigns to "desegregate" the schools, housing, jobs, sports clubs, etc. [...] The way around this has been to argue that "diversity" makes everyone better somehow.  This proximity effect only works in your neighborhood, of course.  The bunkered enclaves where our betters live are almost all white.  Like so much of what these people say in public, it is intended to obscure, not explain.  Ask these people why diversity is good and they start mumbling about their favorite Ethiopian restaurant.  Western civilization did OK without having a single Ethiopian restaurant for a few millennia, but we're to believe it is now a necessity.

When Black Voters Exited Left.  While the passage of the Civil Rights Act helped Johnson earn support from 94 percent of black voters in 1964, there is a gulf between what black Americans hoped the legislation would achieve and what Democratic politicians actually delivered.  Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped end apartheid conditions in the South, a critical objective for which grassroots black Southern activists fought and died, the legislation did little to address the structures of racism that shaped black lives in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.  This was an intentional consequence of how the bill's sponsors, largely liberals from the North, Midwest, and West, crafted the legislation.

Con Artists: How the Democrat Party Eviscerated the Black Family Unit.  It's well known how in 1965 Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assistant secretary of labor to Democrat President Johnson, warned that the black family was on the verge of a "complete breakdown" because of growing illegitimacy rates:  in 1963 the out-of-wedlock birth rate for whites was 3 percent, and for blacks it was 23.6 percent.  Moynihan was part of a generation of Democrats who cared about lifting blacks up into the ranks of equal opportunity with whites, back in the days before the Democrat Party became completely morally corrupt.  In his 1965 "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," Moynihan observed that because more blacks were being born into unmarried homes, more blacks were becoming dependent on welfare to survive.

Blacks Mainly Backslide under Obama.  With President Obama's gas tank now less than an eighth full, it's amazing where he has taken black Americans.  Mainly, it's been a long ride in reverse.  Even liberal black broadcaster Tavis Smiley has criticized Obama for this.  As Smiley told HuffPost Live's Alyona Minkovski, "Sadly — and it pains me to say this — over the last decade, black folk, in the era of Obama, have lost ground in every major economic category."  Smiley is almost completely correct.  Based on the Obama administration's own latest-available statistics by the most basic economic-performance metrics — with one key exception — black Americans are worse off now than when Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009.

A Trump-Lover's Manifesto.  [Scroll down]  People who engage in these real forms of racism always keep their agenda secret, which is why they are the loudest attackers against Trump.  He blows their cover by getting people everywhere to say what they really think about race instead of continuing America's politically correct charade.  True malevolence adores secrecy and dissembling.  More often than not, racial injustice thrives under disguises of condescension, exploitation, and mental manipulation.  Higher education, Hollywood, and big-city bureaucracies are the biggest foes of Black Lives Matter despite the fact that they are universally led by Democrats who claim to love and defend people of color.

Widely Held Beliefs That Are Either Untrue or Meaningless, Part 2.  A pillar of contemporary leftism is the notion of "white privilege."  Given that a generation of high school and college students are being taught that a great number of "unearned privileges" accrue to white Americans — the charge of white privilege demands rational inquiry.  The assertion turns out to be largely meaningless.  And more significantly, it does great harm to blacks. [...] So, then why all this left-wing talk about white privilege?  The major reason is in order to portray blacks as victims.  This achieves two huge goals for the left, one political, the other philosophical.  The political goal is to ensure that blacks continue to view America as racist.  The left knows that the only way to retain political power in America is to perpetuate the belief among black Americans that their primary problem is white racism.  Only then will blacks continue to regard the left and the Democrats as indispensable.

A Refresher on Supreme Court Nominations.  [Scroll down]  As the hearing progressed the Democrats saw that they were losing this battle.  Committee Chairmen Joe Biden's questioning had failed to reveal a chink in the defensive armor of [Clarence] Thomas.  The Democrats were reduced to bringing in a ringer; an unknown [woman] named Anita Hill.  Her testimony elicited the intended, feigned outrage, fueled by coordinated efforts.  However, Thomas, now justifiably outraged, struck back:  "This is a circus.  It's a national disgrace.  And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.  You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree."  Thomas fought back and was confirmed by the narrowest of margins.

With An All-White Candidate Slate, Democrats Fret About White Voters.  The Democrats' continuous bean-counting about race may just be catching up to them.  Last week, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid defended the patently undemocratic "superdelegate" system in the early Democratic Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, (both of which stiffed Bernie Sanders on delegates) as necessary because the states' Democratic voters are just too white for him.

Hillary X.  [Scroll down]  Hillary as a candidate and a person has no connection to the black community.  Her husband was routinely called "the first black president" during his tenure, but that was meaningless shtick used to placate discontented voters.  What has Hillary done to earn anyone's vote, let alone support specifically from black voters?  Nothing.  Well, nothing except pandering.  Progressives derive their power from division — race, gender, sexuality, income, you name it.  Racial division is their political "comfort food," their most successful weapon.  And it's about to be deployed like never before.

White Lady with $650K Speaking Fee Wants Black Americans to Know She's Down with Their Struggle.  [Scroll down]  I'm glad we are finally getting around to airing out a subject that's been put on the back burner for so long.  After the Democrats got a free pass on making the African-American citizens of Detroit significantly poorer for almost half of a century, Hillary probably rightfully feels that there is no level of Demspeak feel-good pandering that she can't get away with now.

Why Are Liberals So Racist When It Comes to Clarence Thomas?  There's something endlessly fascinating about the left's insistence that Clarence Thomas is not "authentically" black — that this descendant of slaves, this grandson of sharecroppers, this hardworking man who rose to the grandest heights of the legal profession, is a traitor to his race and his class.  I don't know what it is about Thomas that drives the left so nuts, but it's there, and it's very real.  Could you imagine what would happen if someone on the right described a brilliant liberal African-American of being no more than a slave controlled by white devils?

Bernie Sanders confronted by supporters demanding slavery reparations as he courts the black vote.  Bernie Sanders was repeatedly pressed to endorse reparations tonight by his own supporters at a 'Black America' community forum.  'I know you're scared to say 'black,' I know you're scared to say 'reparations,' panelist Felicia Perry said, then told him, 'Can you please talk specifically about black people and reparations?'  Sanders replied, 'You and I may have a disagreement on this,' but 'it's not just black.  This is Latinos.  There are areas of America, more rural areas where its whites, OK?  As he talked about income inequality and poverty in the 'African-American community an audience member interrupted to urge him to use the term 'black.'  'I've said 'black' 50 times.  That's the 51st,' Sanders declared.

Black lives don't matter to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton — only black votes.  Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is running such a white campaign that he rushed to New York City the day after his New Hampshire win to have breakfast with Al Sharpton to buy, I mean beg, for the black vote.  Fresh off the heels of walloping Hillary by 22 percent margin, one would think Sanders would take a moment to celebrate or head to the next primary state South Carolina to campaign.  But ironically for the Democrat Party that professes diversity, Sanders is the whitest candidate running.  He represents Vermont, one of the whitest states in the US; he won the New Hampshire primary, one of the whitest primaries (with over 90 percent white population).

Sanders: We Must End Over-Policing in African-American Neighborhoods.  Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called for an end of "over-policing" in black neighborhoods during the PBS Democratic presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wis., on Thursday night [2/11/2016].  "What we have to do is end over-policing in African-American neighborhoods.  The reality is that both the African-American community and the white community do marijuana at about equal rates," Sanders said.  "The reality is four times as many blacks get arrested for marijuana.  Truth is that far more blacks get stopped for traffic violations."

The Editor says...
 Who says those neighborhoods are over-policed?  The police should go where the crimes and criminals are.  Is Bernie's concern really about (the votes of) blacks, or is he really after the legalization of marijuana?

The Myths of Black Lives Matter.  A television ad for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign now airing in South Carolina shows the candidate declaring that "too many encounters with law enforcement end tragically."  She later adds:  "We have to face up to the hard truth of injustice and systemic racism."

Ben Carson: Black Dependence on Democrats Has Meant 'Poverty and Broken Homes and Crime and Incarceration'.  GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson discussed the overwhelming level of support for the Democrat Party among Black Americans during an interview on Breitbart News Daily interview with host Stephen K. Bannon.  Carson says that relationship, "has yielded more poverty and broken homes and crime and incarceration and it's completely unnecessary."  "We need to talk about the effects of out of wedlock birth.  How that stops that woman's education and sends that child into poverty," he later added.

The Four Types of Socialists.  Socialists reject the idea that the government serves the people and embrace the idea that the government rules the people.  After all, if the people are too stupid to wisely spend their own money they clearly need help in surviving life.  The attitude is very similar to the one slave owners used in an attempt to justify slavery.  According to the slavers, Blacks just couldn't take care of themselves and they needed the "helping hand" of white folk to survive.

Left spin cycle: Cruz and Rubio aren't, you know... Latino Latino.  We're having ourselves an historic presidential campaign in case you hadn't noticed.  Sure, we've only had one state vote so far, but a new record has been set.  We now have not one, but two Hispanic candidates who have received more votes and more delegates than any other in the history of presidential primaries.  This is a truly great day for diversity and the future of the American melting pot.  Or at least it would be if either of them had been Democrats.

NYT Column: Cruz & Rubio [are] Not Really Latino Because [they are] Not Liberal.  Your last name could be Cruz or Rubio but unless you pass the stringent political tests of certain self-appointed gatekeepers, you are not authentically Latino.  One such gatekeeper is Roberto Suro who wrote in a New York Times column that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can't be considered to really be Latino because they do not subscribe to liberal identity politics.

Colorblind America: A Malignant Fallacy.  Yes, African Americans are slightly more conservative than white Americans on social issues such as abortion and school prayer.  The problem is that African Americans do not vote on these issues.  They vote on one issue:  race.  Wealthy blacks are just as likely as poor blacks to vote for the Democratic candidate.  The reason is simple:  The Democrats are willing to give blacks more goodies.  Republicans should recognize that in the short term there is no way to win the black vote.  What they should do, therefore, is allow the Democratic Party to be the party of blacks and black demands.

Is the Left Even on America's Side Anymore?  [Scroll down]  The Left is blind to the responsibility of inner-city populations for their off-the-charts violent-crime rates.  The failure to embrace the responsibilities of parenthood is as characteristic of the progressive attitude as is its blindness to the betrayal of inner-city communities by Democrats, responsible almost entirely for the disgraceful condition of America's cities.  Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, and numerous other centers of out-of-control black poverty, failed public-school systems, and black-on-black violence are 100 percent controlled by the Democratic party and have been so for 50 to 100 years.  Yet 95 percent of the black vote and 100 percent of the progressive vote continues to go to Democrats who oppress African Americans.

The Nastiest Insult to Call a Black Man, According to Liberals.  When you're an outspoken black conservative like I am, you grow accustomed to vile names, hate mail, disdainful attitudes, snide comments, and the like.  For reasons unknown, Caucasians espousing conservative values are not sellouts to their fellow white folk, but blacks and Hispanics are. [...] Pretty much all of these personal attacks come from self-described open-minded, inclusive, minority-loving liberal types who cannot see the blatant hypocrisy of their own positions.

Why Fund Amtrak? Because All Must Serve The Capitol.  [Scroll down]  The left is always dabbling in fictional dystopias where there is a yawning chasm between rich and poor, where the country is riven by racial conflict, and where the whole nation has to be impoverished to serve the power and vanity of the Capitol — and yet somehow this is the system they always create when they're in power, in places like Baltimore and Chicago.

Obama and the Democrats' War on Black America.  It may appear to Black Americans that Barack Obama is in their corner, but it's a cunning deception.  His presidency has had a truly malevolent effect on the Black community — by design.  The sole evidence that the White House has any interest whatever in Black America has been an unending stream of rhetoric alleging racism by police against Blacks.  Such a campaign can only spawn more resistance to police in encounters between Blacks and cops.  And since crime is far more prevalent in Black neighborhoods, those encounters are inevitable.  An ancillary Obama campaign makes constant reference to Jim Crow seeping out of every crevice in our society.  In an interview with comedian Marc Maron, he actually driveled this out, after admitting that "race relations have improved significantly during my lifetime."

Rename the Racist Democrat Party.  Former Democratic President Woodrow Wilson may be purged from his alma mater, Princeton University. [...] But if Princeton has to rename anything carrying Woodrow Wilson's name, are there any Democratic presidents that the party and its faithful partisans can keep?  FDR enforced segregation through red-lining and liked to tell jokes about "darkies".  Truman wrote, "I think one man is as good as another so long as he's honest and decent and not a n--ger or a Chinaman."  JFK was disgusted by interracial marriage.  LBJ liked to describe the Civil Rights Act as "the n--ger bill".  Jimmy Carter ran for governor promising that "I can win this election without a single black vote" and accused his opponent of liking Martin Luther King.  Bill Clinton's view of Obama?  "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."  If Woodrow Wilson gets the boot for being racist, there isn't a single Democratic president from the last century who can survive the politically correct inquisition.  They were all racist.  Every last one of them.

Does Any of This Campus Turmoil Have to Do with Race?  It is important not to be fooled by all the outward appearances of these campus Chernobyls.  First of all, a small percentage of students are involved in these shenanigans.  Most are busy trying to finish their work or looking on in horror.  Second, racial minorities are simply being exploited in a gigantic bait and switch.  It is usually not students, but rather provocateurs off campus or nestled in the administration who are behind the sit-ins, snap-fests, marches, and mass confessionals.  The easiest way to prove this is by looking at the lists of demands.  There is invariably a lot of bizarre attention paid to the misdeeds of some administrative position and calls for a reorganization of the bureaucratic leadership.  "Fire the vice provost and promote the associate director."  Students don't write stuff like that.

The Curious Case of Black Advocates and MSM Hatred for Dr. Ben Carson.  Racism along with every other sin will exist until Jesus returns.  However, the notion that blacks are suffering, held back, routinely murdered by cops, and victimized by "white privilege" is absurd.  These narratives are manipulative tools to keep blacks voting for Democrats.  Suckered blacks believe voting for Democrats will keep racist white America and Republicans at bay.  After 50 years of voting for Democrats, black life continues to spiral downward in cites controlled by Democrats. [...] The undeniable truth is the American dream is alive and well for all who choose to go for it.  The only real stumbling block for blacks is Obama's economy.

Why the Conventional Wisdom Has Been All Wrong This Election Season.  After Barack Obama's two successful presidential elections, liberal and supposedly far more inclusive Democrats declared themselves the only party that looks like the new multiracial America.  Republicans, in contrast, were written off as mostly old white fogies — has-beens bitterly clinging to their fading prior privilege.  The campaign has exploded that myth too.  The Republican field is far more diverse, although the candidates see their ethnicity as incidental rather than essential, in bumper-sticker fashion, to their personas.

Apache leader offended by Redskins name wore blackface for Halloween.  An American Indian leader and outspoken opponent of the Washington Redskins' team name reportedly dressed up in blackface for Halloween.  Terry Rambler, chairman of the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona, posted a Facebook picture of himself as Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley, complete with a dreadlocks wig and blackface makeup, the New York Post reported.

Apache leader who criticized Redskins is sorry for Halloween blackface costume.  Two years ago, San Carlos Apache chairman Terry Rambler was at the White House, meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the "racially offensive" name of the Washington Redskins.  Last week, Rambler was in blackface.  On Sunday [11/1/2015], the Arizona tribe leader posted a Facebook photo of himself dressed as Bob Marley for Halloween, complete with fake dreadlocks and blackface makeup.  The picture has caused outrage, especially given Rambler's own public protests against racism towards Native Americans.

Video Proof: CNN's Attack On Ben Carson's Biography Is Racially-Motivated.  CNN's recent and troubling history of anti-black bias is well documented.  The left-wing network has been sued for racial bias, is infamous for ginning up violence in predominantly black neighborhoods, and has faced scrutiny by the National Association of Black Journalists for its treatment of black staffers.  It is no surprise, then, to discover that CNN is currently on a racially-motivated rampage to undermine Ben Carson's biography, and by extension, his presidential ambitions.

'Colored Person' Association president calls Ben Carson 'safe negro'.  I thought terms like "colored people" and "negro" were considered derogatory to blacks.  And yet we still have organizations called The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the United Negro College Fund.  The Brooklyn head of the NAACP in an interview referred to Ben Carson as a "Safe Negro."  After an uproar, she claimed she was referring to what other people thought of Carson, though she still affirmed that she thought he was "safe" for Republican voters.

Why Are Asian-Americans Such Loyal Democrats?  In just two decades, Asian-American support for the Democratic presidential candidate more than doubled, from the 31 percent Bill Clinton got in 1992 to the 73 percent cast for President Obama in 2012, according to exit polls.  This shift followed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, developments that freed anti-Communist Asian immigrants — those with roots in China or Korea, for example — from single-issue ideological concerns that had previously drawn them to the Republican Party.  Today, Asian-Americans, a population of 17.2 million, are among the fastest growing constituencies of the Democratic Party.

'Dangerous Token Negro': DC Media's Destruction Of Carson Is Just getting Started.  Let me be very, very clear about one thing:  The DC Media cannot allow Dr. Ben Carson to become President of the United States.  And if the DC Media has to put on white robes, burn crosses, grab firehoses, and sic German Shepherds on Carson, they will.  In fact, they already have.  Not literally, but the tactics and the goals are exactly the same:  By any means necessary, destroy the free-thinking black man who threatens our power.

Welfare Mom Has 52 Kids/Grand-kids: A victim of Leftist Deceptions, Promises and Betrayals.  Barbara's life could have been so much more.  Barbara's life is the legacy of loyalty to Democrats.  For fifty years Democrats have been promising blacks better lives from government dependency and voting Democrat.  And yet, today rather than fewer Barbaras, in Baltimore and other cities controlled by Democrats, there are more Barbaras than ever.  Over 70 percent of black kids grow up in fatherless, government dependent households which breeds poverty, incarceration, black on black crime, epidemic school dropouts and substance abuse.

Welfare and race
Welfare and Race.  A single graphic explains why it is a waste of time for the GOP to try to challenge Democrat hegemony among blacks and Hispanics.


African Americans keep waiting for 'better' from Emanuel.  Black Chicago must be suffering from a bad case of buyer's remorse.  Mayor Rahm Emanuel was re-elected on April 7 in a hard-fought runoff election.  African-American voters bought in and elected a mayor who promised to "do better" for Chicago.  Black voters made the difference then and in 2011, when Emanuel was first elected on the strength of his high-powered résumé and his close ties to Barack Obama, America's first black president.

Obama's Tragic Legacy for Black Americans.  At the urging of labor unions, President Obama has pushed for higher minimum wages that price a disproportionate percentage of blacks out of the labor force.  At the urging of teachers unions, he has fought voucher programs that give ghetto children access to better schools.  Both policies have a lengthy track record of keeping millions of blacks ill-educated and unemployed.

Mike Barnicle: Ben Carson a 'Political Nut-Boy'.  For nearly three decades, Ben Carson was the head of pediatric neurosurgery at one of the world's best hospitals.  To MSNBC panelist Mike Barnicle, however, Carson is a "political nut-boy" who reminds him of a patient at a certain type of hospital.

Virginia's first black governor says Obama ignored blacks.  L. Douglas Wilder, in his new autobiography Son of Virginia, expressed deep disappointment with America's first black president, calling him "aloof" and "tone deaf" to blacks' needs, leaving African-Americans to ask, "When is our time coming?"  Wilder, governor from 2005-09, and who served twice as mayor of Richmond, wrote, "This was not the 'hope and change' president we had expected."

Black Lives and the Death of a Culture.  Do black lives matter?  You wouldn't know it by looking at the governmental policies that have been in place since the Civil Rights Movement.  No policy since then has done anything but make black lives worse.  Affirmative Action, Aid to Dependent Children, food stamps, welfare.  Okay.  These programs have allowed for the accumulation of TVs and cars and microwaves and AC.  But those things don't give a person purpose or a sense of self-worth, a hope for the future.  Are these young people angry because white cops are mowing them down willy-nilly? No — because that isn't happening.  Are they starving?  No — EBT cards allow them the same diet the rest of have and they don't even have to work.  But there's the rub.  Work provides much more than a living.  Work can provide a goal, a hope, a possibility.  You can feed a body with food, but a soul requires a more esoteric diet.  It requires actual achievement, actual struggle to arrive at that success.  It requires self-understanding and respect.  It requires reason — things have to make sense.  It requires truth.  These angry young people have had none of that.

Reality Therapy for Liberals.  Look at what has happened to our black urban communities since the father was made irrelevant by Lyndon Johnson's Great Society policies.  Here we are now, nearly a half century later and the ghettos are worse than ever, over 70% of black mothers are single moms, in New York City 69% of black pregnancies end in abortion.  High school graduation for blacks is only 69%.  Unemployment especially amongst young black males peaked in 2009 at 49%, drug use and incarceration rates are off the charts.  Obviously, a society cannot function without strong families headed by strong fathers; it takes no leap of faith to reach that conclusion.  Yet people still contend that family is merely a human construct and can be redefined willy-nilly.

#BlackLivesMatter's agenda is costing black lives.  I've seen this movie before.  And for the last 25 years, I thought I'd never have to watch it again.  But now it's playing, not in theaters, but all over mainstream media, with something like rave reviews from the president and his administration.  The theme of the movie is that there is an epidemic of racist white policemen, gunning down innocent black people.  The movie's message, implicit but unambiguous, is that the police must be restrained from vigorous enforcement of the law.  That was the message of the Black Power movement half a century ago, and it is the message of the #BlackLivesMatter movement today.

How Democrats Created America's Social Caste System.  For over two hundred years Democrats have worked to create and maintain a low caste based upon race.  For example, it was Democrats who wanted to maintain the South's system of race-based labor exploitation known as slavery.  In the 1820s Democrats who were anxious to maintain the low caste refused to follow federal laws that banned the existence of this caste in new states.  America's Civil War was not started by the North to abolish slavery.  Rather, it was started by the South in order to preserve slavery. [...] To this day, many blacks and Hispanics do not realize that the poverty and racial segregation they endure has been created by Democrats.  Democrats preach equality but seek to make the social castes unequal.  This is done to maintain their political power and control over the nation.

Surprise: Murder Rates Rise In Mostly Democratic Party Run Cities.  One has to ask why Liberals are not only not concerned by the high violent crime rates within the Black community, but why they seemingly defend Blacks killing each other off [and why] they deflect attention away from this.  Do they just not care?  One can even stretch and think that Liberals want Blacks to kill each other off.  They've obtained a situation where Blacks live in high concentrations in liberal cities, and vote Democratic Party at a rate that would make 3rd world dictators happy.  All while Democratic Party policies create highly negative living conditions and high rates of violent crime.

The left's deranged attack on Clarence Thomas.  Black lives matter — unless, apparently, you're Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.  The left is renewing its venomous, racist attacks on Thomas in the aftermath of his dissent in the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in favor of gay marriage.  Actor George Takei smeared Thomas as a "clown in blackface."  The Huffington Post called his dissent "beyond ridiculous" and tarred him as a hypocrite for opposing a court-created "right" to gay marriage:  "Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman — something that would be illegal today, if it weren't for the Supreme Court's historic Loving v. Virginia ruling."  As if his personal life is fair game.

The Democrats: Too Old and Too White?  [Scroll down]  For Democratic progressives, Hawaiian Barack Obama could not be of mixed ancestry and decidedly middle class, but simply "black" or "African American" — as if he had shared the Jim Crow experience of Clarence Thomas.  Nor was there any allowance that race itself had become hard to sort into neat categories in a nation of immigration, intermarriage, and assimilation, in which millions of Americans were one-half this and one-quarter that.  Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King proved that well enough by successfully constructing themselves as white for quite a long time.  Liberals had reversed the vision of Martin Luther King Jr.:  The color of our skin, not the content of our character, is what matters.

Generations of Stolen Black Dreams.  Black unemployment, particularly under Obama, is extremely high.  While many blacks have achieved their American dream, many have not.  That is not white America's fault.  Behavioral issues are laying waste to the black community.  Over 70% fatherless households and 70% school dropouts leads to gangs, drugs, blacks murdering blacks and incarceration; all resulting in poverty.  So what is Obama's solution to fixing these problems plaguing blacks?  He lets drug dealers who prey on urban youths out of jail, claiming their crime is non-violent.  He has his DOJ bully police across America to back off urban thugs.  Obama minion Baltimore mayor said, "Let them loot.  It's only property."  Violent crime is up big-time in Chicago, New York and Baltimore.

Marco Rubio: The Newest Member of Black Lives Matter.  Every politician has a go-to guy for black issues:  A black person to keep it real with the latest information from the streets about riots, rampage and rap.  Senator Corey Booker's guy is named T-Bone.  Booker met T-Bone — a drug dealer — when Booker moved into The Ghetto of Newark during his second year of Yale Law School.  Booker started telling stories about T-Bone during his unsuccessful race for mayor of Newark in 2002. [...] One problem:  T-Bone was a dream.  A fairy tale.  A lie.

Hillary Clinton: Let's Be Honest, Black Men In Hoodies Are Scary.  Add this one to the "imagine if she were a Republican" files:  old white lady expresses fear of young black men, political funeral details to come.  During a campaign speech on Thursday [7/23/2015], Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton touched on race, saying that even "open-minded white people" are sometimes afraid of hoodie-wearing black people:  [Video clip]

Under Obama, Blacks Are Worse Off — Far Worse.  Ninety-five percent of black voters in 2008 voted for then-Sen. Barack Obama.  Surely a "progressive" black president would care about, empathize with and understand black America in a way no other president ever has or could, right? [...] After six years, the report card is in.  The grades are not pretty.  By every key economic measurement, blacks are worse off under Obama.  In some cases, far worse off.  What about poverty?  In 2009, when Obama took office, the black poverty rate was 25.8 percent.  As of 2014, according to Pew Research Center, the black poverty rate was 27.2 percent.  What about income?  CNNMoney says, "Minority households' median income fell 9 percent between 2010 and 2013, compared to a drop of only 1 percent for whites."

Alveda King to Congressional Black Caucus: Lead Investigations of Planned Parenthood.  Dear Congressional Black Caucus, I am writing to you today because my heart is heavy over the deafening silence coming from you regarding a recent video that has gone viral exposing Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling aborted babies' body parts.  If they or anyone else had been exposed for harvesting and selling animal body parts, there would be such an outrage from the left and right.  "Save the whales!  Save the dolphins!  Save the doggies and cats!" people would declare.  But for some reason it seems to be okay to chop up the unborn babies and harvest their body parts.

If the Confederate flag offends you, ask who designed it.  After alleged mass murderer Dylann Roof was captured, news media discovered a photo of him with the Confederate battle flag.  Somehow, this flag has become an issue that more than one Democratic spokesperson has asserted will become a problem for Republicans in the 2016 election.  How can that be? [...] This flag was designed by Democrats.  Democrats whipped slaves under this flag.  After the Confederacy was defeated, Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the Ku Klux Klan, which continued to carry the Confederate battle flag during a reign of terror against blacks and Republicans.  The Confederate battle flag was raised on the grounds of the state house in South Carolina by a Democratic governor.  A Republican governor ordered it taken down.  Why would this be a problem for Republicans?

Thanks to Obama, Racial Division Will Never End.  Obama is the president of the United States, yet he persists on dividing us, not uniting us.  It is the goal of the Left to break us all down into groups, so that you can be "treated fairly" by your benevolent government.  Let's say you are black.  No matter what your background, experience, family life, likes, dislikes, work ethic, whether you are a professional or unemployed, you are going to be treated as if the government has to fix things for you, even if you don't want them "fixed" — and it's all for your own good.

For Planned Parenthood Black Livers Matter.  If you have ever witnessed one of those "spontaneous" pro-abortion demonstrations held in Washington whenever Congress contemplates curtailing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, you may have noticed that there was something missing — African-American demonstrators.  This is odd, considering that black women are far more likely to have abortions than are their Caucasian counterparts.  And, examined in light of the now infamous video of a white Planned Parenthood official discussing how to crush a baby without damaging marketable livers and other organs, it is particularly ominous.  Why?  Because the terminated baby will probably have been black, and that is no coincidence

America, the Beautiful.  As a black man in my sixties, yes, I have encountered racism.  But for the most part, whites and America have been extremely good to me.  When I was a boy in the hood of Baltimore, several white politicians awarded me scholarships to pursue my dream of becoming a graphic artist.  During and after college several so-called "evil white men" according to a NY Times article, employed me, treated me well, and furthered my career.  And yet, when I say I love my country and am proud to be an American, Leftists/Democrats look at me cross-eyed, accuse me of disloyalty to my race.  I am supposed to be mad, feel resentful and victimized.  Sorry, but I can't go there, embracing hate and a victim mindset.

Donald Trump's Criminal Illegal Immigrants.  [Scroll down]  The only way illegal immigrants can ever obtain good jobs is by obtaining a good education, yet Democrats and their liberal enablers intentionally have successfully forced, through Federal regulation, all product labels, election ballots, and so on be printed in Spanish as well as English.  This action permanently disables illegal immigrants and their children from ever obtaining good paying, English speaking, jobs.  The progressives want them to be low paid, just as they've always wanted black voters to be low paid.  So here we have proof that progressives don't want to pay illegal immigrants much money for their menial work.  This is the exact attitude that they claim capitalists have toward the masses of workers.

Fiddling Away the Future.  Forty-three years ago, there were roughly 1,500 black elected officials nationwide.  According to the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, by 2011 there were roughly 10,500 black elected officials, including a black president.  But what were the fruits?  By most any measure, the problems are worse.  There is the greatest black poverty, poorest education, highest crime and greatest family instability in cities such as:  Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland, Calif., Memphis, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala., Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Buffalo, N.Y.  The most common characteristic of these predominantly black cities is that, for decades, all of them have been run by Democratic and presumably liberal administrations.  What's more is that in most of these cities, blacks have been mayors, chiefs of police, school superintendents and principals and have dominated city councils.

The White Privilege Lie.  Of all the invectives launched against the United States by the resurgent American Left, the charge that in America, White Privilege reigns supreme is the most insidious and culturally ruinous.  Its intent is unambiguous:  leftists perpetuate the White Privilege lie to smear America and its institutions as inherently racist, and therefore unworthy of adulation and in need of fundamental socioeconomic transformation.  The ultimate power of the White Privilege calumny lies in its capacity to impugn the virtue of American patriotism and the idea of American exceptionalism.

The Editor says...
 Liberals keep talking about white privilege, as if it's a bad thing.  But logically, if being white is a privilege, it must be superior to the alternatives.  Anyone who gives a moment's thought to their logic can see that "white privilege" is a problem that doesn't exist.

Why it's Republicans, not Democrats, who really offer African-Americans hope for a better life.  Fifty years ago, Republicans and Democrats came together to enshrine in law the principle that all of us, regardless of race, color, or national origin, are created equal.  Because of that, today America is a better, more tolerant and more welcoming place than it has ever been.  So why is it that so many black families still feel left behind?  A quarter of African-Americans live below the poverty line, even with federal programs like food stamps and housing subsidies, and the supplemental poverty rate for African-Americans is nearly double the rate for other Americans.

Progressive Mass Hysteria.  [Scroll down]  In fact, no president of the 20th century disliked blacks in general and integration in particular as much as the Southern segregationist Woodrow Wilson, although he adroitly cloaked his racial hatred with a thin veneer of liberal academic respectability as president of Princeton University and author of several progressive tracts.  The writings and speeches of Margaret Sanger, founder of what evolved into Planned Parenthood, trumped the biases of Wilson.  Her progressive version of eugenics fueled much of her family-planning agenda.  She saw reproductive rights as inseparable from discouraging the supposedly less gifted (in her view, mostly non-whites) from having lots of children.

Will Democrats Apologize for Slavery and Segregation?  Dear Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz: [...] In 1860 your platform said:  "Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon these questions of Constitutional law."  This was, in fact, an endorsement of the infamous Dred Scott decision by the Court, a decision which legal scholars say was designed to write slavery into the Constitution.  And your party approved of it.  As the Civil War was ending your party opposed the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment — which ended slavery. [...] For decades your party gave free rein to the Klan and its rabid, racist violence.  In 1924 the Klan ran your Democratic Convention in New York's Madison Square Garden, known to history as the "Klan bake" convention.  Time and time and time again your party selected Klan members to represent it in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House as well as state governorships and all manner of local officials.

Will Dems apologize?  In an open letter to DNC Chairman Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, Jeffrey Lord provides a readout of the tangled history of the Democratic Party with slavery, segregation, lynching, and the Ku Klux Klan.  Lord draws on the Democratic Party platforms of 1840, 1844, 1856 and 1860.  He adds that, as the Civil War drew to a close, the Democrats opposed the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment (ending slavery), and proceeded afterwards also to oppose the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  Lord has more, all in the spirit of the moment; Lord calls on Schultz to apologize on behalf of the party.

The Top Five Most Racist Presidents.  [#3]  Franklin Delano Roosevelt:  FDR spoke at the 1924 Democrat National Convention, also known as the "Klanbake" for the "heavy representation of Ku Klux Klan-friendly delegates," as reported at the Wall Street Journal.  According to Digital History, after the Klanbake, "some 20,000 Klan supporters wearing white hoods and robes held a picnic in New Jersey... "  Roosevelt appointed "confidant" James Byrnes to the Supreme Court, who was so powerful that he was known as the "assistant president on the home front" and who "believed in racial segregation... and worked to defeat anti-lynching bills introduced in Congress."  Despite the fact that Byrnes was not elected by the people, FDR "assigned Byrnes more powers than ever held by a public official."  Even worse, FDR appointed prominent Ku Klux Klan member Hugo Black to the Supreme Court.

The History of the Racist Democrat Party.  Mark Levin spent much of his first hour last night laying out the evil 'missing history' of the racist Democratic Party, digging in deeper than most to reveal things that many just don't know.  [Audio clip.]

The Monuments to the Framers of The Southern Manifesto of 1956.  If there is no honor in the memories evoked by the Confederate flag, then there is even less to be found in the statues depicting those prominent politicians who fought for segregation well into the 20th century.

The Progressive Timeline.  Race is the most obvious big social issue which has been totally controlled by Progressives.  Since the 1950's, the Left has had a free hand in trying to[ ]make the races get along.  They even control the definition of "getting along."  Despite this, the last few years has been a non-stop campaign to "fix" race, as well as a cynical effort to cause a race war.  After the church shooting, every member of the Cult was out in the streets claiming nothing has changed since the last time a white guy killed a bunch of black people, which was fifty years ago.  Normal people would look at the near total absence of white on black crime in the South, relative to the bad old days, as an amazing development.  To the Left, this has not happened and it is still 1955.

Another Racist To Be Evicted from American History: Woodrow Wilson.  If our public life is going to be all race all the time, with a view toward expunging all traces of racists from honored positions in American history, then Woodrow Wilson is a prime candidate for the memory hole.  At InstaPundit, Randy Barnett sets out Wilson's record as a racist in detail.  Wilson re-segregated federal agencies that had been integrated during Reconstruction.  W.E.B. DuBois called Wilson's segregationist and discriminatory policies the "gravest attack on the liberties" of African Americans since Emancipation.  Booker T. Washington visited D.C. during Wilson's first term and reported, "I have never seen the colored people so discouraged and bitter as they are at the present time."  Wilson was an unequivocal and outspoken supporter of segregation.  "Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen," he told African-Americans.

The Last Thing the Left Wants is Racial Healing.  While the media was all abuzz over Obama using the "n" word, I was outraged over him accusing my country of being a nation filled with racists.  Folks, our president actually said racism is in our DNA and is passed on from generation to generation.  Dude, you're a black man whom white folks — because blacks are only 12% of the population — made leader of the free world two times.  Stop it with the "blacks are victims" nonsense.  Millennial blacks have never or rarely experience bona-fide racism.  So why are Obama and his fellow Leftists hell-bent on instilling racial paranoia and resentment against whites in millennial blacks?  The answer is simple:  this is how Democrats keep their monopoly of the black vote.  Instill in blacks that America is eternally racist and voting for Democrats is the only way to keep the haters which are the majority at bay.

When Erasing Symbols of Slavery, Don't Forget the Democratic Party.  [Scroll down]  Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren (anti-abolitionist), James K. Polk (slavery compromiser), and Stephen A. Douglas (slavery fence-sitter) founded the current Democratic Party.  The abolitionists wandered in the wilderness for a while, mixing with Whigs, and finally coalescing into the Republican Party in 1854, with abolition as its singular purpose.  During the first half of the 1800's, slavery was a contentious and persistent issue.  Many slave owners and Democrats viewed slavery as a necessary evil, and abolition as unnecessary contention.  Thomas Jefferson advocated for mass emancipation and deportation, for he viewed the black race as too childish, and based on the 1791 Haiti rebellion, unable to handle the anger engendered by their enslavement.  Another common view held that the black race was simply unable to care for itself, and thus slaves were better off under the care of their masters, and that slavery only needed greater compassion, a view still held by the Democratic Party to this day.  Why do you think Democrats promote government assistance programs for African Americans?

Why Are We Not Removing All Things Related To Robert "KKK" Byrd?  Should we remove George Washington and Thomas Jefferson from Mount Rushmore?  How about all statues, streets, monuments, and references to the two?  Despite being opposed to slavery, they had been slave owners at one time.  Better yet, why are we not calling for the removal of all things named after Robert "KKK" Byrd (Democrat), as well as any and all statues?  The man was an actual high ranking member of the KKK. [...] Byrd made many racist pronouncements.  He was a virulent racist.  Let's remove all references to him.

90% of the Racism in America Comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  Ninety percent of the racism in America today comes from the Democratic Party and the Left.  They live off it and exploit it.  It is unconscionable to the degree they do this, ruining the lives and futures of the very people they say they are helping in the process.  I am uniquely positioned to say this because I spent most of my life on the Left and was a civil rights worker in the South in my early twenties.  I was also, to my everlasting regret, a donor to the Black Panther Party in the seventies.  So I have seen this personally from both sides and my conclusion is inescapable.  The Left is far, far worse.  They are obsessed with race in a manner that does not allow them to see straight.  Further, they project racism onto others continually, exacerbating situations, which in most instances weren't even there in the first place.  From Al Sharpton to Hillary Clinton, they all do it.  Barack Obama is one of the worst offenders in this regard.

The Media's Despicable, Racist Attack on Bobby Jindal.  The defining moment of the blatantly racist attacks against Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will always be the MSNBC segment where guest Arsalan Iftikhar claimed Jindal's criticism of radical Islam was him "trying to scrub some of the brown off of his skin."  Those comments were so bad MSNBC was forced to apologize and promise never to have Iftikhar on again.  Before that of course, there was Vox.com's Matt Yglesias questioning whether people thought Jindal was smart because of his race.

Black Chamber of Commerce: EPA Clean Air Plan Will Increase Black Poverty 23%, Strip 7,000,000 Black Jobs.  A study commissioned by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents 2.1 million black-owned businesses in the United States, found that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan would increase black poverty by 23 percent and cause the loss of 7 million jobs for black Americans by 2035.  The study also found that the EPA' plan would increase Hispanic poverty by 26 percent and cause the loss of 12 million jobs for Hispanic Americans by 2035.

Black Chamber of Commerce: EPA Clean Air Plan Will Increase Black Poverty 23%, Strip 7,000,000 Black Jobs.  A study commissioned by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents 2.1 million black-owned businesses in the United States, found that the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Power Plan would increase black poverty by 23 percent and cause the loss of 7 million jobs for black Americans by 2035.  The study also found that the EPA' plan would increase Hispanic poverty by 26 percent and cause the loss of 12 million jobs for Hispanic Americans by 2035.

Fairness in Cleansing.  To begin, I want to know when the countless bridges, schools, highways and buildings named for Robert Byrd will be changed to that of someone who was NOT an Exalted Cyclops of the KKK?  When will portraits of him be removed from all Federal and State buildings?  When will his statue in West Virginia's Capitol Rotunda be pulled down? [...] While we're at it, let's make certain Harry Reid's legacy faces a similar fate for his comments that candidate Obama could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "... with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

Hillary arrives by private jet for Ferguson-area speech on race relations and Charleston 'terrorism'.  Hillary Clinton arrived in a private jet on Tuesday [6/23/2015] to talk race relations at a church whose rooftops can see Ferguson, Missouri.  And she left some in St. Louis's urban black community feeling cold, coming to town for a campaign speech nearly a year after the riot-inducing shooting death of Michael Brown.

Dylann Roof, Southern Democrat Throwback.  It turns out the suspect, Dylann Roof, is an ideological amalgam of old-line Southern segregationist Democrat KKK white supremacy combined with 21st century emo-progressive-anarchist sensibilities.  Top that off with a horrendous androgynous emo bowl cut and a drug arrest, and you've got a poster child for new age leftist counter-culture abomination.  The guy is a product of the Democrat Party and contemporary moody emo-oriented pop-cultural leftism.

Hillary Clinton fights post-Obama apathy in bid to energize South Carolina blacks.  She has mastered the art of affecting a folksy twang when speaking to Southern crowds and her husband once boasted that he was the first black president, but Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton has a long way to go to win over black voters crucial to victory in South Carolina's early primary.  Mrs. Clinton, who on Wednesday will make her second visit to the Palmetto State, moved early and forcefully to shore up support of black voters, but that Democratic bloc has yet to coalesce behind her.  That includes young blacks who say they have lost faith in politics after their experience with President Obama.

Black Chicago Pastor: 'Democrats Have Taken Advantage of Our Community'.  Corey Brooks, pastor of New Beginnings Church on the infamous south side of Chicago, wants Republican presidential candidates to speak to his congregation, because being black doesn't mean you have to be a member of the Democrat Party — which he says has failed to help his community.

Hillary Sweeps Left in Houston, Sells Early Voting as Civil Rights Issue.  Hillary Clinton ran one of the most boring, tired football plays in Houston this week — Wishbone Sweep Left.  We've seen it over and over again:  tell Democrats that Republicans are out to bring back Jim Crow, energize a moribund, racially motivated base by scaring them into thinking the Voting Rights Act has vanished, and claim that not having a month-long election day means blacks are being targeted for vote "suppression."  The play is tired, familiar, and goes nowhere.

Hillary goes ugly early with racism claims.  Down in Texas for a campaign event aimed at restoring her relationship with black Democrats who rejected her 2008 candidacy, Clinton said that laws requiring voters to show identification at polls were part of "a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of color, poor people and young people from one end of our country to the other."  Note the language here.  It's not a misguided effort with an unfortunate result, it is a deliberate effort to prevent minorities from voting.  That's not just racist, that's evil.

Black Chicago Pastor: Dems 'Failing' Us.  It is difficult to imagine a less likely GOP presidential campaign stop than O Block.  After all, it's the most dangerous stretch of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Chicago and one of the toughest territories in the city.  But if Republicans stand a chance of chipping away at Democrats' dominance over the black vote in this city and elsewhere, it might be something to consider.

Hillary Clinton Cannot Afford to Lose Black Voters.  Barack Obama didn't need to do much — almost anything — to win record turnout from African-American voters.  Hillary Clinton will need to pull out all the stops to score just a fraction of that support.  An exaggeration?  Black political leaders don't think so.

The War against Black Children.  There is a statistic out there that almost half the adults in Detroit are functionally illiterate.  They can't fill out job applications.  They can't read the instructions on a pill bottle.  So when we talk about a war against black children, let's not think first about guns.  Think about the weapon that is doing the most damage.  That would be our public schools.  You cannot have functionality illiterate children at the high school level unless the school system systematically evades teaching those children to read at the elementary school level.  That's exactly what is happening in cities across America.

What is wrong with Democrats?  Why do Democrats embrace Al Sharpton, an anti-white anti-Semite, liar, con man hustler who extorts millions from corporations and who is a habitual tax cheat?  He has received a lot of attention lately, not because of his carnivalesque talk show on MSNBC that few watch, but because Barack Obama has appointed and anointed him as his point man on race.  The riots in Ferguson and Baltimore and the tragic death of Eric Garner are fuel for Al Sharpton (he may not need much food in the wake of his bariatric surgery but he needs riots and mayhem — and when they aren't there, he creates them).  But he has been welcomed by Democrats for many years.

Univision keeping the lid on Democrats' coalition of victims.  One key to the future viability of the Democratic Party is suppressing the serious conflicts of interest between its black and Hispanic constituents.  The influx of 12 to 16 million mostly low-skilled labor force entrants across the southern border has driven down wages and employment opportunities for blacks.  The single most effective means to raising incomes for those who sell low-skill labor would be to close the border and repatriate those who violated our laws in coming here.  But Democrats need the votes of both blacks and Hispanics to sustain their coalition of purported victims, those needing to appropriate the income earned by others through welfare and redistribution programs in order to enjoy what they consider an acceptable lifestyle.  So any consciousness among blacks that the influx of Hispanics is costing them opportunities must be suppressed.

The Big Tent Party Collapses.  While the Democratic Party has moved toward leftist purity in which Hillary Clinton's policy positions are virtually indistinguishable from socialist Bernie Sanders', the Republican Party has become to political positions what COEXIST bumper stickers are to religion — an embrace of all and, thereby, a perversion of all.  The media enjoy suggesting that the Republican Party has never been more right-wing, but the opposite is true:  the Republican Party has never been more heterogeneous, and the Democratic Party has never been more radically homogenous.

Can you guess when it's okay for whites to use the n-word?  [Scroll down]  You see, liberals like Doctor Seuss.  And if liberals like someone, any kind of behavior is acceptable.  If a politician was a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan, it's okay...if he was a liberal.  See Robert Byrd.  If another politician says Obama can be successful because he's a light-skinned black and doesn't speak with a "negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one," that's okay... if it's a liberal like Harry Reid.  If someone says that Obama is the first Black candidate who is "bright and clean-cut," that is okay... as long as he's a liberal like Joe Biden.

Black Columnist Brands Dr. Ben Carson as 'a Court Jester, a Minstrel Show'.  Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Cynthia Tucker criticized Dr. Ben Carson for his conservative political and religious views, referring to the retired pediatric neurosurgeon and 2016 presidential candidate as "the GOP's latest black mascot, a court jester, a minstrel show."  Carson, who was raised in a poor, single-parent household in inner-city Detroit, became the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland at age 33.  He made medical history when he became the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins attached at the head. [...] Claiming to speak for the black community, Tucker said that Carson's non-politically correct views on homosexuality, evolution and religion threaten to eclipse his many accomplishments, and that because of his conservative views he "stands to lose his place as one of the nation's most admired men."

The Halperin-Cruz teaching moment.  There is more to this story than a simple case of media gotcha.  It's one thing to ask a candidate what newspapers she reads, or whether he can identify the president of Mexico.  It's quite another to set out to show that the candidate isn't who he says he is because he doesn't meet your subjective standard for determining who's who and what's what.  Actually, as should be obvious to anyone who has watched the clip, this was no interview.  It was an interrogation.  Journalists conduct interviews to obtain information.  That's not what Halperin did here.  He was on the attack, quizzing Cruz about his Cuban-ness to make the 2016 Republican presidential hopeful look like a phony.

Halperin Interview Of Ted Cruz Shows Left's Plantation Attitude Toward Latinos.  In a classic gotcha interview with a GOP candidate, Bloomberg big shot Mark Halperin sought to discredit Ted Cruz as a "real" Latino with patronizing questions.  It goes to show the proprietary sense that the left has toward minorities.

Time for the Welfare State to Stand Trial.  As of 1950, "only 9% of black families with children were headed by a single parent."  Between 1940 and 1960, "the black poverty rate had been cut in half." [...] By 2012, the black illegitimacy rate was at 73%, starkly high in contrast to other demographic segments.  And the moral decay that came with this trend is not obscure.  "According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, 60% of rapists, 72% of adolescent murderers, and 70% of long-term prison inmates are men who grew up in fatherless homes."  In light of these facts, these statistics may be less surprising:  In 2010, blacks (approximately 13% of the population) accounted for 48.7% of all arrests for homicide, 31.8% of all arrests for forcible rape, 33.5% for aggravated assault, and 55% of arrests for robbery.  It was by design that the social structure provided by government supplanted the social structure of the family.

Po-Po and the Missing Papas.  The rage of Baltimore's ghetto boys against cops is not due to an epidemic of police killing black men.  That's a big lie of the left wing.  It is mainly caused by brainwashing black youth to hate the only effective discipline they have had in their lives.  Subjecting ghetto youth to any discipline is a threat to the idea that they cannot be responsible citizens.  Law enforcement in the ghetto is a threat to the creed of victimization, which wealthy, privileged black leaders use to subjugate and control people.

Liberals' petri dish laid bare in Baltimore.  All the mayhem unfolding in Baltimore is nothing short of an unspeakable American tragedy.  Laid bare are the failures of cradle-to-grave social policies held so dear by politicians in both parties, but embraced and celebrated most lustily by Democrats.  These self-proclaimed Robin Hoods and do-gooders have issued open and unashamed invitations to the most vulnerable in society to become completely dependent upon government for everything from food to cellphones to home heating oil.  Left in the wake is the utter annihilation of families and the destruction of cohesive neighborhoods.  Complete dependency comes at such a high and bitter cost.  All in return for what really amounts to a sad pittance of welfare payments.  It is a twisted mockery of the American dream.

Blacks, Hispanics reject Obama climate change agenda over concerns about poor.  The very same voters who helped put Barack Obama in the White House increasingly are turning against the president's climate change agenda, with influential black and Hispanic leaders warning that stiff regulations to limit carbon emissions will have a devastating effect on the poor and will further stifle economic opportunity for minorities.  Some of Mr. Obama's most ardent supporters say they simply cannot go along with the administration's increasingly ambitious program to combat global warming.  They argue that, contrary to the Environmental Protection Agency's claims, the carbon regulations will drive up utility bills for poor households and will stunt economic growth in low-income areas.

 Carbon dioxide is not carbon, for the same reason that water is not hydrogen.  If you're writing an article about the climate, and the subject is carbon dioxide, don't call it carbon

Blacks Lose Ground Under Obama.  This economy has left blacks with little to show for their loyalty to Obama and the Democrats.

Record High 12,202,000 Black Americans Not In Labor Force.  Anyone doubt for a second a white Republican president would under constant attack by the Dems for their "racist" economic policies against black Americans?

Mr. Noah and the Flood.  So-called liberals habitually tolerate black anti-Semitism.  Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson remains a revered figure in the Democratic party; Al "Bloodsuckers" Sharpton was inflicted upon the general viewing public, or at least a couple of hundred members of it, by MSNBC; progressives are happy to stand with vile anti-Semites such as Louis Farrakhan, and Democratic organizations are happy to host them.  So-called liberals tolerate black anti-Semitism because they believe in their hearts that blacks are their wards and that they cannot be expected to know any better.  If unfunny anti-Semitism of the Nation of Islam variety is to be indulged, what's an unkind joke or three?

Imagine the current state of black Americans under a Republican administration.  Imagine if the president were a Republican, and if during the second half of his second term, after having been elected both times with record turnout by blacks, the black unemployment rate remained stagnant at 11 percent while the black poverty rate hit a record high of 27 percent.  What would black politicians be saying about that Republican president?

150 Years Later, Democrats Are Still Fighting Efforts to End Slavery.  The Democratic Party is the Party of Slavery.  They are the party that decided to secede from the Union.  They are the party that started a Civil War over the right to treat people as property.  They are the party that, once their side lost the war, set up structures to keep American citizens from exercising their civil rights.  And now, 150 years after the Civil War, the Democratic Party is at it again.

The Left's Destruction of Inner-City Communities.  Progressives and Democrats control every major city of any size and every major inner city of any size in America, as you've heard me say before.  Everything's that's wrong with the inner cities of America, that policy can affect progressives, leftists, Democrats are responsible for.  They have monopoly control in all these cities:  Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis.  There's not a Republican in sight.  Progressive welfare policies destroyed the black family beginning in the 1960s.  Seventy-five percent of African American children were born to two parents at that time.  Now, 80 percent in the inner cities are born out of wedlock.  The absence of a father and authority figure in the home, often complicated when the mother works as well as raising her children, has produced a series of pathologies which we summarize as the underclass, which were predicted by Daniel Moynihan in 1965, of violence, drug abuse, and criminality.

The Democrats' War on Women and Blacks.  Barack Obama, the first black president, comes into office and black unemployment actually increases while, for the first time in years, relations between the races in our country are reported in a recent poll to be worse by both blacks and whites.  Something's wrong with that picture too.  Did Americans suddenly become more racist or is it something else — that something being the policies of the Democratic Party, encouraging division and then living off those same divisions like a parasitic animal?

A Marxist View of the Democrats' Entitlement Economy.  Karl Marx, considered the founding figure in the rise of communism, divided all persons into two classes:  the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. [...] Democrats create highly segregated communities whose boundaries are defined by racism so that they could represent minority neighborhoods in elections.  All racially segregated communities are under Democrat control and its residents suffer very high rates of poverty, single motherhood, crime, high dropout rates, high unemployment, zero economic growth, misery, and death.  And the solutions Democrats always put forth to correct these social ills are always more community programs and entitlements.  These programs only serve to expand their political control of the entitlementariat through dependency.  The benefit the Democrat bourgoisie gets is political power.  The racial segregation found in big cities is proof that the Democrat bourgeoisie creates and maintains the entitlementariat.  Recently illegal immigration has been used to create an Hispanic entitlementariat.

Why Do Democrats Hate Asian-Americans? Because They're Smart and Successful.  This piece appeared in the Los Angeles Times recently, and it deserves a lot more notice from conservatives than it's received so far.  It's not that it doesn't tell us things we didn't already know — it's that the Left is so blatant about its prejudices, and so determined to tear down any semblance of meritocracy regarding college admissions.  And, mostly, it reminds us that Asian-Americans need to recognize who their enemies are.

Sounds like someone is perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
 Obama to Amnesty Beneficiaries: 'There's Going to Be a President Rodriguez Someday'.  Republicans should stop fighting amnesty, President Obama said on Thursday [2/26/2015], because one day a Hispanic will become president.  "Over the long term, this is going to get solved, because at some point there's going to be a President Rodriguez or there's going to be a President Chen," Obama told a Florida International University town hall audience, hosted by Telemundo and MSNBC.

Here's How Obama will be Remembered During Black History Month.  Unemployment among blacks rose 42 percent in Obama's first five years as president — worse than unemployment for whites and Hispanics and far worse than the 20 percent decrease in unemployment among black adults during Ronald Reagan's presidency.  Other statistics tell a similar story:  inflation-adjusted gross income is down for African-Americans, while slightly up for whites and Hispanics, and many African-American children remain trapped in failing schools and violent neighborhoods.

Manufacturing Outrage.  The most disgraceful use of this strategy has been the deliberate stoking of black rage against whites.  Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown became martyrs not perpetrators.  Al Sharpton was anointed healer-in-chief and Obama's point man on race (the arsonist becomes the fire department chief — such are the perversions Barack Obama has inflicted on America).  Barack Obama has fanned the flames by comments such as "racism is deeply rooted in American society" and his Attorney General Eric Holder has race-baited throughout his tenure, routinely claiming civil rights violations at the height of the strife triggered by the deaths of Martin and Brown — and routinely being frustrated by the facts.  Joe Biden told a black audience that "Republicans are "going to put y'all back in chains." [...] And so it has been throughout Obama's presidency.  He has never missed an opportunity to manufacture outrage.

Liberals Exploit Race & Gender.  The growth and impoverishment of the black underclass in cities governed for decades by Democrats is our greatest domestic tragedy.  Blaming it on mostly mythical white racism obscures the real causes, prevents solutions.  But if liberals acknowledged the progress that's been made, more blacks might wonder why all the "help" they've gotten from Democrats has done them so little good.  So they pretend every year is 1963.

Selma and LBJ.  Why exactly did Dr. King have to spend his life marching for civil rights?  Why in fact did Selma — the march, not the movie — have to happen in the first place?  The Selma march took place in 1965, after the Civil Rights bill of 1964 has been passed with the help of Republicans and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson.  What the Selma marchers were about was voting rights.  The basic, all-American right to vote.  Of course, they already had the right to vote. [...] Not a single Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the [15th] amendment.  Only eight Democrats in the Senate signed on.

Ronan Farrow's Awkwardly Condescending Exchange with Black Teen.  As we've written here many times before, Ronan Farrow's MSNBC show is something to behold: An awkward mess of obvious inexperience, nepotism, self-congratulatory sanctimony, and preening condescension. Today's [1/20/2015] edition of the program showcased the lattermost element.

15 Statistics That Destroy Liberal Narratives.  [#13] The more progressive the city, the worse a place it is to be poor and/or black.  The most pronounced economic inequality in the United States is not in some Republican redoubt in Texas but in San Francisco, an extraordinarily expensive city in which half of all black households make do with less than $25,000 a year.  Blacks in San Francisco are arrested on drug felonies at ten times their share of the general population.  At 6 percent of the population, they represent 40 percent of those arrested for homicides.  Whether you believe that that is the result of a racially biased criminal-justice system or the result of higher crime incidence related to socioeconomic conditions within black communities (or some combination of those factors) what is undeniable is that results for black Americans are far worse in our most progressive, Democrat-dominated cities than they are elsewhere.  The progressives have had the run of things for a generation in these cities, and the results are precisely what you see.

Liberals' Use of Black People.  Johns Hopkins University sociologist Andrew Cherlin told us: "It has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes. ... (The problem) is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income."  The liberal vision is that fathers and husbands can be replaced by a welfare check.  Liberals desperately need blacks.  If the Democratic Party lost just 30 percent of the black vote, it would mean the end of the liberal agenda.

Black Conservative Son Educates Dad on Dems' Race Lies.  When presidential candidate Obama told Joe the Plumber that he planned to spread the wealth around, I knew he was nothing more than another socialist/progressive liberal who hated America as founded.  My 86-year-old black dad, on the other hand, is a lifelong Democrat.  He believed that Dems are for the little guy and that voting Republican is like voting for the KKK.  Despite being a God-fearing Christian preacher and pastor for over 50 years, Dad rejected evidence of Obama's anti-Christian leanings and voted for him solely because he is black.

Night Thoughts.  Now and then, I think back to why I rejected the Left, many years ago — when I was in college.  One of the reasons was, they always kept the racial pot boiling.  They would never let the pot cool off.  It seemed to me they did not want racial harmony.  They preferred strife, regarding it as more "authentic" or something.  Harmony was for Toms.

Do Black Lives Really Matter to Liberals?  Surprisingly, the same liberals who say they are concerned about the tiny percentage of blacks killed by police not only don't care about the mass elimination of blacks in the womb, but they in fact work constantly to protect those who slaughter blacks.  Eighty percent of abortion facilities are in minority neighborhoods, and blacks are three times as likely to kill their unborn child as whites are.  If black lives mattered to liberals, they'd be up in arms over this racist effort by organizations like Planned Parenthood.  Instead, the same folks who are ignoring the facts of the Ferguson case and imputing nonexistent racism to the Garner case tend to be strong and proud supporters of Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations that target blacks.

Making Whitey Suffer.  From a complaint against two white police officers in the death of black men, these latest protests have morphed into a general and bitter repudiation of law enforcement, in general, and even of the capitalistic system in America, fueled by an irrational hatred for all businesses and industries, whether they employ a few people or millions.  It is doubtful that most protestors speak entirely from personal experience.  Their outrage echoes the far left litany and its deadly chokehold on American academia.  Even as demonstrations are applauded and encouraged, the aim of the left extends well (or ill) beyond empathy for a person's right to protest wrongs.  The ultimate goal is to destroy America as they see it and to substitute their "progressive" dream of utopia.

What evil lurks? The liberals know.  On a good day, about 80 percent of the content generated by left-leaning websites will be spent explaining why Republican positions on x, y and z are really expressions of their fear and loathing of non-white Americans, and how modern conservatives descend from John C. Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, the 1948 presidential campaign of Strom Thurmond and the Ku Klux Klan in its entirety in one straight and unbroken line.  MSNBC frets over the threat of the "dog whistle," by which one uses a commonplace phrase to send a sinister message to one's fellow bigots.  Only their network's anchors are apparently able to hear them.

Two Americas.  Why did it take until 100 years after the Civil War, until 1964, to pass a Civil Rights Act?  Because the Democratic Party would not take its boot off the neck of the black man until Martin Luther King made the black vote a political force.  Dedicated to being in power above all else, the Democrats had to make a U-turn on their race policy in the 1960s and join the Republicans in passing the Civil Rights Act because they realized that after the black vote was counted, they were not going to win any more national elections without it.  But there was a problem.  How was the Democratic Party going to overcome its deplorable record on race?  It was the party of slavery, segregation, lynching, and the Klan.

The True History of the Democratic Racist Party.  If only blacks knew of the true history of the Democratic Party.  "Black History Month" has been observed for 29 years, yet many blacks know little to nothing about the parties' respective roles in advancing or hindering the civil rights of blacks.  How many blacks know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks — 13 of them ex-slaves — were elected to Congress, all as Republicans?  The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois.  The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.  Democrats, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act.  This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories.  Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party — not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it. [...] In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states.

Call Ferguson Demonstrations What They Are: 'Obama Riots'.  The truth is that these riots are about so much more than Brown.  They are about the monstrous discontent over every aspect of life for so many people finally boiling over.  Mr. Obama ran and won two presidential campaigns on promises that he would heal these very people.  It was either stupidity or dishonesty to make such reckless promises to such vulnerable people just to win a couple of political elections.  The rioting lays bare the complete failure that is this presidency.  In the end, the only thing this president has accomplished is proving that the American people, for all their flaws, would elect a black president.  And then re-elect him despite a very disappointing first four years.

Obama's Amnesty and the Democrats' War on Black Americans.  Obama's proclamation of amnesty to illegal aliens is just the latest step in a long-running war conducted by Democrats against American citizens of African descent.  But, there are early signs that the African-American community is waking up to the decades-long, false claim by Democrats, heralded since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as being the political party most concerned with the condition of Blacks.  Obama's dictatorial edict granting functional amnesty to millions of Hispanic illegal immigrants is not being well-received by some African-Americans who feel betrayed by the first Black President.

Obama's condescending stereotype of Mexicans.  It is unbelievable that the president of the United States would say something this elitist regarding the nation's largest minority group — and perhaps just as worse that it's gone virtually unreported. [...] Not all Mexicans do the type of work that Obama described, especially the ones who have been in the country for several generations and have gone to college.  This is just more of the same, sadly, to be expected from this arrogant president who jaunts around the world on luxury vacations, and whose favorite past time is golf, not charity and actually helping those less fortunate.

Juan Williams: 'Insulting to Black People' That White House Elevates Sharpton.  Fox's Eric Bolling went after Al Sharpton today for his tax issues that have somehow not stopped his White House invitations.  Juan Williams agreed and went so far as to say it's "insulting to black people" for the White House to be elevating Sharpton like that.  Williams suspected that the Obama White House just doesn't like Jesse Jackson and since Sharpton is the only big alternative, the White House just "anointed him as their official black leader," which people find insulting.

Giving Up On Black America.  [A]s shocked and depressed as I was over his election in 2008, it was Barack Obama's re-election in 2012 that helped to confirm my worst suspicions about black America.  In spite of lingering double-digit black unemployment, increasing black homelessness, food pantries with block long lines, inner-city schools that were still failing to meet even nominal standards of proficiency in reading, writing, and arithmetic, and headline news levels of racial strife, blacks still gave Barack Obama 93% of their vote.  This non sequitur helped me to face some important facts.

Dear Black People: The Democrats Are About To Break Up With You.  For decades, the black vote in the United States almost uniformly has gone to Democrats.  How's that working out?  Black unemployment is twice the national average, poverty rates are higher than before Democrats offered "help," and the education system fails a disproportionate number of black children.  That's what 50-plus years of blind voting loyalty to Democrats has earned.  And, thanks to those same Democrats and the nation's first black president, it's about to get a lot worse.  President Obama is set to legalize upwards of 5 million illegal aliens, with the dream of granting amnesty and citizenship to 6 million to 25 million more, based on estimates and chain migration.  These aren't Ph.D.s with seed capital ready to start tech companies; they're low- and no-skilled workers with limited English skills ready to take any job available, especially entry-level jobs.

Is This the End Game for Liberal Racism?  Every day in every way corporations are converting your tired and your poor into middle-class workers glad to serve the stranger, make the customer king, act friendly with everyone.  No wonder lefties hate corporations; they are teaching people how to break out of liberal tribalism and join the global middle class.

Explosive Charges: Black Democrat Alleges Racism in Lawsuit against Ohio Democratic Party.  An African American lawmaker — a Democrat — is charging the Ohio Democratic Party and chairman Chris Redfern with racism and defamation in a lawsuit filed this week, telling reporters there is a "plantation mentality" in the party that treats black lawmakers as a monolithic voting bloc.

Time for the GOP to stand up to the radical left's false racism claims.  One of the quickest arms in the radical liberal arsenal is to accuse Republicans of being racist.  It is just one more of their tactics to scare the people and offer themselves as saviors.  If the leftists couldn't scream "racism" they'd have little to say.  It's core their constituent building via victimhood strategy.  Screaming "racist" is a tactic designed to shut down debate and liberals need that since they can't win on the merits.  This is also why liberals save their most vicious attacks for minority members who dare to stray to the right.  Liberals know that if a small but critical mass were to venture off the house of cards they run would fold.

Liberal Racism: Hispanics Are Next.  Roughly ninety-five percent of racism in America today now either emanates from liberals or is generated by them.  The Democratic Party relies on racism because, without the perception of serious ongoing racism in our culture, the identity politics on which the party depends would disintegrate.  As presently constituted, they wouldn't win another national or statewide election.  This makes the Democratic Party by necessity a virtual racism-manufacturing machine.  The Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons are not anomalies.  They are the motor that drives the car.  Barack Obama could in no way be a post-racial president as promised, even if he wanted to be (doubtful).  He wouldn't have had a party anymore.  Do I exaggerate?  Actually it's worse.

Liberals Desperate To Keep Blacks On Their Plantation.  Democrats are beginning their racist attacks against Dr. Ben Carson.  The conservative neurosurgeon, who is black, recently changed his party affiliation from "Independent" to "Republican" and is about to air a 40-minute video in 22 states to introduce him to the American People.  The odds are pretty good he's going to run for President.  Of course, liberals are well aware of Carson — and they're terrified of him.  That's why he's repeatedly called an "Uncle Tom" or worse by liberals who can't stand that a black person — again — has ventured off the plantation and is able to think for [himself].

Employment Situation Improves in October — Except for African Americans.  The employment situation in October improved in every way for most Americans, except for African Americans, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  The number of African Americans who were employed in the United States in October dropped by 41,000; and the number of African-Americans not participating in the labor force increased by 114,000.

How did it all go so wrong with Wendy Davis?  [Scroll down]  Too many strategists fall into the trap of treating demographic groups of people as if they were monolithic entries in pigeonholes which can be placed on a war room map and shoved back and forth.  Yes, the demographics of Texas are shifting (along with much of the country) and the voting base is becoming decidedly more Hispanic.  But despite repeated evidence that the Hispanic population frequently leans toward social conservative views, the Democrat Monday morning quarterbacks still seem to base their analysis on the assumption that nobody could ever possibly vote for a Republican except for elderly white people.

Clyburn Dismisses Tim Scott: Just Because He's Black, That Doesn't Mean Progress.  On Tuesday evening [11/4/2014], interim Republican Sen. Tim Scott won South Carolina's special election to fill the remaining two years of retired Sen. Jim DeMint's term.  Despite that electoral victory making Scott the first black senator elected by South Carolina, fellow South Carolinian James Clyburn is not impressed.

Jay Carney to GOP: Your Party is Racist — and 'You Know It'.  Former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, now a political commentator for CNN, casually admitted that, yes, his party uses race to convince minorities that Republicans seek to oppress them.  Before the midterm election, Carney said:  "Republicans are going to pick up seats in the Senate and the House, and they may win control of the Senate.  So (Democrats) need to mobilize their base voters, and that is especially true of minority voters."

Typhoid Barry.  Blacks account for a quarter of the vote for Democrats nationally, and without their utter continued solidarity, the party is in deep trouble.  But blacks continue to identify with President Obama, no matter how badly he screws things up.  It is awfully tricky for Democrats to distance themselves from him, or even turn on him, without risking black turnout in 2016 elections.

Well-financed Democrat Lies Won't Confuse Blacks This Time.  The way for a Party to get support is to deliver success.  When there is no record of success, lies, distortion, and fear become the operative tools, in hope that uninformed voters will buy the garbage.

Michelle To Black Voters: Just Vote Democrat, Then Celebrate With Fried Chicken.  First lady Michelle Obama has a message to black voters:  Don't worry about what candidates have done or said — just vote for the Democrats.

Michelle Obama grants black people permission to eat fried chicken if they vote today.  Speaking to Roland Martin on a black-oriented radio program, News One for Black America, Michelle Obama engaged in racial stereotyping that would get a white politician excommunicated from decent society, while joking about her belief in her own status as food czar.

Celebrating Six Years of Broken Promises.  Always insecure about his authenticity, Obama has, from the beginning, tried to reassure his base that he was a real African-American and not just someone who played one on TV.  This anxiety has led to a series of distortions, none more outsized than his claim as a candidate in 2007 that the events at Selma, Alabama, in 1965 stirred his parents to ignore the obvious obstacles to their multicultural romance and give birth to baby Barack.  "They got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born," said Obama to a largely black audience.  "So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama.  Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama."  He didn't, and he wasn't.  In reality, Obama's father had long since abandoned the family by the time of the famous march.  While protestors were confronting angry white state troopers in Alabama, the three-year-old Obama was collecting seashells with his white grandfather in Waikiki.

Race and Reaction.  [Scroll down]  And here we are now, with the nation led by a president who went to a Black Liberation Theology church in Chicago, and a first lady whose thesis was on Black Power, and an attorney general who whines about his treatment as the most powerful law-enforcement figure in the nation, and we find ourselves fully under attack because of the color of our skin.  The left has racialized every single thing that occurs in the country, and in each instance, it is non-liberal whites who are evil and blacks or Hispanics who are victims.

FLOTUS: No Matter Who's on the Ballot, Our Community Should Always Vote for Dem Ticket.  Monday on TV One, a cable channel who's programming is geared for African-American adults, first lady Michelle Obama told Roland Martin the candidate on the ballot and what they say or do should not matter to African-Americans because voting for a straight Democratic ticket best serves their communities.

Is This the Beginning of the End for Blacks and Dems?  Black voter enthusiasm has been at an all-time high during the era of the first black president, but will this enthusiasm last in the post Obama era?

Desperate Dems Are Turning to Racial Attacks.  This year is shaping up to be a great one for conservatives.  Real Clear Politics projects that Republicans are on track to pick up seven Senate seats, and there's a real possibility that come January 2015, they'll hold a 54 or 55-seat majority.  This has left Democrats utterly panicked as they scramble to motivate their base at a time when President Obama's approval rating has stalled at 39 percent.  They have turned to an old hat — race-baiting — in hopes of scaring African-American voters to the polls.

Whites say Obama's America is 'divided,' blacks feel robbed.  Over six in 10 whites believe that America is more divided now than it was just four years ago when the Tea Party rose up and helped the GOP take control of the House, and blacks feel Washington is robbing them.  A startling new poll from Rasmussen Reports finds that 65 percent of white voters believe the country is divided, and a sizable number of non-black minorities agree.  Even more — 44 percent — Democrats agree than not, 41 percent.

If It Damages America, It's Good for Democrats.  In almost every area of American life, the better things are, the worse it is for the Democratic Party. [...] Blacks who are not angry at America, especially white America, are more likely than those who harbor such anger to vote Republican.  On the other hand, the more a black American considers America a racist society, the more he or she is a guaranteed Democratic voter.  Therefore, it is in the Democratic Party's interest to ensure that as many blacks as possible regard America negatively.

Alarmed By Planned Immigration 'Surge', Civil Rights Advocate Tells Obama Amnesty Harms Black Workers.  A top civil rights advocate is warning President Obama that extending executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens will deeply harm black workers.  Peter Kirsanow, as U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner, says in an Oct. 27 letter to Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' recently revealed preparations for a huge ID "surge" upped his alarm over what the president has planned.  "Granting work authorization to millions of illegal immigrants will devastate the black community, which is already struggling in the wake of the recession that began in 2007 and the subsequent years of malaise," he explained.

Democratic Party: America's Resident Evil.  A New York Times article exposed that the Democrats are expecting to have their clocks cleaned in the election in a week or so.  Democrats believe that their only hope is to get out the black vote.  How do they plan to achieve this?  Of course, with their tried and true tactic of race-baiting.  In other words, the Democrats and their MSM operatives have launched an all-hands-on-deck deplorable effort to convince black Americans that white Americans are out to suppress and even murder them.  Democrats pray that hordes of enraged blacks will forget about how they have suffered under Obama and flock to the polls to vote for Democrats. [...] All that these Democrat politicians and their MSM sycophantic minions care about is infecting blacks with a victim mindset, which keeps blacks dependent on government, which keeps Democrats fat and happy with power.

Black pastor endorses Republican for governor — guess what happens next.  Corey Brooks is the pastor of New Beginnings church on the south side of Chicago.  Pastor Brooks, who is black, endorsed Bruce Rauner for governor of Illinois, going so far as to appear in television ads with the candidate.  Normally I wouldn't find it necessary to describe the skin color of anyone I write about.  However, in this case, it's central.  Because ever since Pastor Brooks endorsed a Republican for office, he and his church have experienced threats and attacks.  More specifically, the pastor and his family have received hundreds of death threats.  Most recently, his church was vandalized.

Demagogue Al Sharpton: The Democratic Party's New 'Civil Rights' Leader.  The Democratic Party no longer fights for actual civil rights for African Americans.  It has become beholden to race hustlers and demagogues, those who inflame passions based on memories of the real racism that existed decades ago but which is no longer relevant to the present-day American experience.

There's No Place Like Utopia.  [Scroll down]  Along the way [Joel] Gilbert bumps into notables like Jesse Jackson, Michelle Obama's mother, and most interestingly, Peggy Joseph, the Florida woman who scored brief internet fame for announcing after the 2008 election that she would no longer have to work because Obama was going to pay her mortgage and her gas.  Much to Joseph's disappointment, Obama not only didn't follow through, but her mortgage and gas prices are even higher.  She educated herself politically since 2008, and does not support him today.  Neither do some of Gilbert's other interviewees, poor blacks in communities increasingly devastated over the decades by progressive policies.

Blacks On Barack: 'Worst President Ever, He Chose Illegals Over Americans'.  These Chicago residents put Obama on blast for choosing to pour millions of dollars into helping illegal aliens instead of the communities with high levels of violence and crime in the United States.

Black disappointment with Obama threatens Democrats.  Black voters' disappointment with President Barack Obama, who they so eagerly embraced for so many years, could be costly on Election Day to Democrats, who badly need a big African-American turnout to win Senate and gubernatorial races in key states.  Instead, many African-Americans see an unemployment rate well above the national average, continuing problems with crime in many neighborhoods, and a president more interested in trying to help other voting blocs that didn't give him such unwavering support.

Political TV Ad Claims Obama Is Bad for African Americans.  A new television ad airing in Louisiana makes the case that the nation's first black president has been bad for the black community.  The ad comes from a group called "Progressives for Immigration Reform" and uses images of Hurricane Katrina devastation and blacks standing in unemployment lines to argue that "our own president" wants to allow in millions of illegal immigrant workers to "take jobs when many of us still can't find jobs."

The Democrats Go Back to Their Racist Roots.  The Democratic Party is trying to use the shooting of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri to stimulate black turnout.  There is zero reason to believe that the Brown incident had anything to do with race.  Is there any evidence that Wilson, if attacked by a 6' 4", 292 pound white man, would not have shot him?  No.  Wilson may or may not have overreacted; we may never know for sure.  But connecting the incident to race is sheer political opportunism by the Democrats.

Jeff Sessions: Obama's Immigration Policies Hammer Black Workers.  Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) told Breitbart News that black workers across America should be wary of supporting Democrats because of President Obama and other Democrats' support for immigration policies that displace them economically.  "A nation owes its first obligation to its own citizens," Sessions said in an emailed statement.  "But our current immigration policy advantages the citizens of other countries over our own.  Undeniably, one of the groups most hurt economically by unjust immigration policies are African-American citizens."

Why Do Democrats Oppose Voter ID?  Leftist opponents of voter ID truly think minorities are less able to function in American life.  I learned this when a Department of Justice Voting Section lawyer opposed to voter ID told me he thought blacks were more likely to forget their photo identification than whites were.  Their lives "were more disorganized," he said.  This is a lawyer currently still working in the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department.  This is a perfect example of the "soft bigotry of low expectations."

Districts drawn to elect minorities may cost Democrats control of House.  Black residents of this small southeast Florida town like their congressman.  Rep. Alcee Hastings looks like them.  He understands them.  "If the person has the same race as you, I think they care about you more.  They understand where you come from," said Michael Foreman, a personal trainer.  Hastings, a black Democrat, represents a surgically drawn district where a majority of the population is black, one of dozens of majority-minority districts around the country.  For three decades, lawmakers have increasingly crafted similar districts so that historically underrepresented populations will have adequate representation.

The Racism of Open Borders.  Over the years since the mid-1960s, when the white left discovered how easy it was to convince black supremacists (e.g., the Black Panthers) that they should not integrate, but self-segregate into Black Student Unions, Black Business Leaders Associations, the Black Community, etc., black people have been cynically manipulated into believing and embracing all sorts of negative, disastrously damaging things about themselves.  First and worst is the idea that they cannot possibly succeed in life, due to the racism of white people, without the massive intervention and help of [...] WHITE liberal Democrats!  They managed to convince the vast majority of black people that all whites hate them and spend a large part of their time scheming and coming up with ways to keep black people down.  The frightening thing is that just a cursory look around America makes this idea about as ludicrous a notion as you could possibly come up with.  Yet black people have bought into it, big time.  They have also let the White Left convince them that welfare is not only acceptable, but that they are somehow entitled to it to make up for the way white people have kept them from succeeding.

Amazing ad tells Louisiana blacks that Mary Landrieu has failed them.  Senator Elbert Guillory of the Louisiana State Senate is known as a maverick, a black Republican in a state where the Democratic Party is sustained by solid support by the African-American population.  But that doesn't stop him from tyelling the hard truths he believes African-Americans must face.

Black Genocide And The Black Leaders Who Support It.  This weekend, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is proudly hosting an event with Planned Parenthood on Capitol Hill. BET Networks is sponsoring the issue forum on "reproductive freedom".  The nation's largest abortion chain, never missing an opportunity to target the black community, is addressing how the Hobby Lobby decision will impact — you got it — black women.  The Hobby Lobby decision does nothing to reduce anyone's access to birth control.  The Supreme Court decision ruled that a closely held corporation cannot be forced to pay for an employee's abortifacients, including Plan B, Ella, and hormonal and copper IUDs.  The lawsuit never opposed the other 16 forms of contraception, and the ruling doesn't touch those.  But this weekend's conference isn't about birth control, but spin control with a racial twist.

Should Joe Biden Step Down?  Vice President Biden is being urged by liberal activists to "brush up his Shakespeare."  His friends are trying desperately to clean up the latest mess that Joe Biden has caused.  He recently told a group at a Legal Services Corporation event that his son, Beau Biden, had worked to protect our soldiers from "Shylocks" — whom he described as unscrupulous lenders.  This is only one of the oldest anti-Semitic slurs in our language.

Rush Limbaugh's Call Screener: 'What Liberalism Has Done To Black Communities Is Horrific'.  Most Rush listeners know James as either "Snerdley," the call screener, or the "Official Obama Criticizer."  Golden was in Washington recently for a CURE meeting and that's where we got the chance to sit down with him for this exclusive 30 minute video interview.  For the first half of the interview, Golden waxed passionately about race in America, and how America's first black president has only harmed race relations in this country.

Yes, I Blame White Liberals.  At every turn, liberals send the message that blacks are lesser Americans.  Liberals say it is hateful for conservatives/Republicans to expect blacks to speak English correctly, show an ID to vote, refrain from murdering each other, and stop dropping out of school.  White liberals say asking blacks to refrain from having babies out of wedlock is culturally insensitive and imposes morality on them.  Libs ignore the truth that fatherless households contribute to gang membership, black-on-black violence, and poverty.  Do you see the pattern?  White liberals insinuate that urban blacks are poor uncouth savages.

The Sad Irony of John Lewis Playing the Race Card.  It was one of [Governor George] Wallace's state troopers who shot to death Jimmie Lee Jackson, a civil rights demonstrator, in Marion, Alabama.  A few days later, on what is now known to history as "Bloody Sunday" — March 7, 1965 — civil rights protesters led by a young activist named John Lewis sought to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on a 55-mile walk to the state capital of Montgomery.  They didn't get far.  Governor Wallace had his state troopers waiting for them, and along with local law enforcement the troopers charged the demonstrators, beating the living hell out of them, John Lewis included.  The incident spurred the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act — itself a re-do of the Republican-passed Fifteenth Amendment that was ratified in 1870, 95 years earlier and repeatedly ignored by elected Democrats.

At Risk in Senate, Democrats Seek to Rally Blacks.  In black churches and on black talk radio, African-American civic leaders have begun invoking the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, along with conservative calls to impeach Mr. Obama, as they urge black voters to channel their anger by voting Democratic in the midterm elections, in which minority turnout is typically lower.

Democratic Party Has Roots in Violence, Racism and Bigotry.  When I read this morning that a high school in the South was going to drop its racist, confederate name, I immediately thought of Democrats Strom Thurmond or Robert Byrd, who were Klan members and staunch segregationists.  But no ... the school is Nathan B. Forrest High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Forrest was a Confederate General and a leader of the Ku Klux Klan.  I decided to research a little bit into General Forrest and it turns out he was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention.  In fact, the KKK was founded by Democrats to terrorize blacks and white Republicans.

Let's play 'What if a Republican Said It' with Harry Reid's racially insensitive jokes.  Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) found himself in some hot water on Friday [8/22/2014].  According to Time Magazine's Zeke Miller, the Senate Majority Leader "drew laughter from an Asian audience Thursday with a pair of Asian-themed jokes."

The Real Villain of Ferguson.  The Great Society, which I voted for and supported from the bottom of my heart, is the villain behind Ferguson.  Ferguson is the Great Society writ large because the Great Society convinced, and then reassured, black people that they were victims, taught them that being a victim and playing a victim was the way to go always and forever.  And then it repeated the point ad infinitum from its debut in 1964 until now — a conveniently easy to compute fifty years — as it all became a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The Great Society and similar policies screwed black people to the wall.  It was racist to the core without knowing it.

Democrats Pay Black Staffers 30% Less.  If you're a person of color hoping to get hired by a political campaign, here's the ugly truth:  You'll probably get paid less than your white counterparts, if you're even hired at all.  On both sides of the aisle, there is a racial pay gap in campaign politics.  Asian, Black and Latino staffers are paid less than their white counterparts, according to an analysis by the New Organizing Institute.

Former NFL Pro Explains Why He's a Republican: Democrats Are Destroying Black Communities.  Garry Cobb played football for USC and then for 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles.  He is now running for New Jersey's 1st District seat as a Republican, and his explanation of why he is no longer a Democrat is very compelling.

Charge: Obama plan to legalize millions of immigrants 'disastrous' to blacks.  President Obama's much-rumored executive order granting legal status to potentially millions of illegal immigrants will be "disastrous" to African-American job seekers and a slap in the fact to others proceeding through the tedious legal immigration process, charges a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

NBC News, Politico Bury Nunn Campaign's Asian Slur.  You would think that a major U.S. Senate campaign caught referring to an ethnic group as financially "very tight" would thrill a media that loves nothing more than political scandal mixed with race.  Well, not when it's a Democrat campaign.  When that's the case, the media circle the wagons to pretend it didn't happen, or in this case, reassure everyone there's nothing to see here, because this is just how campaigns are run.

20 Examples of What Liberalism REALLY Is.  [#5] Liberalism is people who say that asking for voter ID is racist while claiming that black Americans are too uniquely stupid and lazy to get an ID.

Is the race card all that's left in the administration's deck?  Blacks rightly feel jilted after pledging so much loyalty and emotion to a man they thought was one of their own.  They are painfully learning that President Obama is like the fast-talking peddler of magical elixirs who promises a cure-all, then skips town before you find out you've been bamboozled.  The protesters feel used and now the president and the Democrats seem to have jilted them in favor of the Hispanic vote.  That's what the unbridled illegal immigration debate is all about.

The Secret War On Black Republicans.  According to former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, who is African-American, the media do not seem particularly interested in covering perceived racial slights when the victim is a black conservative.  "In my race for the U.S. Senate, I was painted in blackface with big red lips and called an Uncle Tom," Steele told the Beast.  "I had Oreo cookies thrown at me during the Lieutenant Governor debate in 2002.  "And there seems to be this attitude they can get away with it and in a large number of ways they do.  Because the press does not go after such attitudes the way they would if, for example, a conservative were seen holding a poster of Barack Obama in a disparaging caricature."

A Primer on Race.  Back in the heyday of the British Empire, a man from one of the colonies addressed a London audience.  "Please do not do any more good in my country," he said.  "We have suffered too much already from all the good that you have done."  That is essentially the message of an outstanding new book by Jason Riley about blacks in America.  Its title is "Please Stop Helping Us."  Its theme is that many policies designed to help blacks are in fact harmful, sometimes devastatingly so.  These counterproductive policies range from minimum wage laws to "affirmative action" quotas.

Why liberals should stop trying to 'help' black Americans.  The civil-rights struggles of the mid-20th century were liberalism at its best. The efforts culminated in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed racial discrimination in employment and education and ensured the ability of blacks to register and vote.  But what about the social policy and thinking that arose from the ruins of Jim Crow?  Good intentions aside, which efforts have facilitated black advancement, and which efforts have impeded it?  Many liberals today don't seem particularly interested in asking this question, even though 50 years into the war on poverty the picture isn't pretty.

Did Obama Fail Black America?  For many African-Americans, he has been a hero — but also a disappointment.  On critical matters of racial justice, he has posited no agenda, unveiled no vision, set forth no overarching mission to be accomplished.

Democrat Says Of Hispanic Republican: 'We Need To Send Her Back To Wherever She Really Came From'.  Is Alan Webber intending to win any votes from Hispanics?  He's a Democrat vying for the party's gubernatorial nomination in New Mexico, and his recent comments about incumbent Republican Governor Susana Martinez aren't likely to make him many friends.  Video obtained by The Weekly Standard shows Webber at a candidate forum where he made the questionable remarks.

Reparations and the Great Unmentionable.  Call it American history à la carte.  Over at the Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates, the magazine's national correspondent, has written a long and instructive piece titled "The Case for Reparations."  In which Coates supports Congressman John Conyers's H.R. 40, the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.  Let me start here by saying I don't doubt Mr. Coates's sincerity.  And since one of his objectives is doubtless to launch a serious discussion on the issue of race and specifically the issue of reparations, I'm happy to oblige.  This is a long and serious article.  Yet for all of the facts and passion, Coates never gets around to the Great Unmentionable. [...] What is the pattern here — a very telling pattern?  Everything was perpetrated by some vague "Mississippi" or, when named, a collection of people with titles like "governor" (Vardaman) or "senator" (Bilbo and Calhoun) or "Red Shirts" or "Klansmen" or just plain "Woodrow Wilson."  The Great Unmentionable in the Coates article is... the Democratic Party.  Progressives.  Democratic political fortunes were built on racial politics.

Jim Crow alive and well in Eric Holder's Justice Department.  Jim Crow is now making a huge comeback, thanks to the identity politics so common among liberals, especially on college campuses.  As PJ Media columnist and former U.S. Department of Justice civil rights attorney J. Christian Adams notes, a federal court recently struck down a law in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands that allowed only people of "Northern Mariana descent" to vote on constitutional referendums. In Guam, the new Jim Crow appears in a law that allows voter registration only by those with ancestors living there prior to 1950, thus effectively limiting the ballot to individuals descended from the Chamorro people.

Obama Looks to Bypass Congress and Promote Racial Spoils in Hawaii.  When we pledge allegiance to the flag, we also pledge allegiance to the Republic for which it stands — "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."  The modern American left has put each of these qualities up for grabs.  For example, implementing "social justice" would make it logically impossible to provide justice for all of us as individuals.  The left is also unfavorably disposed to the idea of one indivisible nation.  The Akaka Bill was a good example.  As Gail Heriot and Peter Kirsanow explained, this legislation, which the House passed in 2010, would have enabled the nation's approximately 400,000 ethnic Hawaiians to organize themselves into one vast Indian tribe. [...] Existing Indian tribes have a degree of sovereignty.  But this was an attempt to establish and empower a tribe where none existed, and to do so along racial lines.  Naturally, as Heriot and Kirsanow explained, the attempt was really about funneling billions of dollars to ethnic Hawaiians, a Democratic constituency.

White people be playing the race card.  The Republicans-hate-blacks narrative remains crucial to maintaining the monolithic 95 percent Democratic black vote, without which the Democratic Party cannot succeed.  Economist Thomas Sowell writes, "If Republicans can get just a fourth or a fifth of the black vote nationwide, that can shift the balance of power decisively in their favor."  As recently as 1956, nearly 39 percent of blacks voted Republican in the presidential election.

What White Democrats Really Think About Black Americans.  On any given day of the week, one can turn on the liberal media and hear how the Democratic Party is the one party that cares for black Americans. [...] Just a few weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi told Americans that Republicans were trying to take food out the mouths of black Americans by cutting food stamps.  She then stated that 50% of food stamp recipients are black Americans.  And let us not forget that the Democrats are fighting hard against the supposedly racist voter ID laws on behalf of the poor blacks who are either unable or too stupid to get an ID card in 2014.  When Newt Gingrich called President Obama "the food stamp President" during a presidential debate in 2012, both Chris Matthews and Lawrence O'Donnell immediately thought of black people and accused him of racism.  As a black American, it is infuriating for me to listen to white Democrats' claims of helping blacks when all they are doing is making sure that blacks remain dependent upon Government handouts.  That stance reveals what they really think about black Americans.

Condoleezza Rice too privileged to be role model for blacks: Fox's Bob Beckel.  Fox News' Bob Beckel suggested Monday [5/19/2014] that Condoleezza Rice, the first female and first black secretary of state, is not a good icon for young black people because she didn't grow up in the "ghetto." [...] Mr. Beckel said there's a "lot of truth" to Mr. Holder's notion that racism is still alive and well in America.

Democratic Congressman Condemns Chicago Sun Times Article.  A leading African American member of Congress from Illinois condemned the Chicago Sun-Times for running an "over the top" column last month that compared black Republican voters to Jews who collaborated with the Nazis.  Democratic Rep. Danny Davis told the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday [5/20/2014] that the piece by Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg was surprising, "inaccurate," and "over the top."  Steinberg's piece sparked a row in the Jewish and black communities last month after Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn's reelection campaign tweeted — and then quietly deleted — several messages praising the article and encouraging followers to read it.

Bloomberg Writer: Black Republicans Are a 'Lower' Group.  Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson recently wrote a piece claiming that Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina — an African American — only became a senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment.  He also claimed that Scott's candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind.  In an article that is more invective than analysis, Wilkinson essentially called Senator Scott a do-nothing senator.

Democratic Congressman Makes Shocking Racial Comments About Republicans, Clarence Thomas, Mitch McConnell.  A Mississippi Democratic Congressman says Clarence Thomas is an "Uncle Tom," Mitch McConnell is a "racist," and that Republicans are only anti-big government and anti-Obamacare because President Obama is black.  Rep. Bennie Thompson made the comments over the weekend while appearing on a New Nation of Islam radio program.

NJ Democrat Caught on Tape, Fears Her Town May Become [...].  Conveniently the Star-Ledger leaves out the part about her being a Democrat.

The Radical Left Rewrites the History of Civil Rights.  The general thrust of left-wing pundit Richard Cohen's syndicated column of April 17, 2014 is an attack on Rand Paul's (and other prospective GOP presidential candidates') lack of experience. [...] Bad as Cohen's attack on Paul (and others) is, his sly effort to rewrite the history of the Republican Party's (and by implication, the Democrat Party's) role in the struggle for blacks' civil rights is even worse.  Unhappily, however, Cohen's historical revisionism typifies the American left's all-too-successful efforts to change Americans' memories of the roles of the two major political parties on behalf of blacks' civil rights.

Some Lessons from Cliven Bundy.  I am not a lawyer, and am not going to pretend to be one.  Neither do I give any credence to the claims about Bundy's "racist" comments that were engineered by the New York Times' Adam Nagourney, a left-wing gay man following the "progressive" playbook of demonizing those against whom you can't argue.  I would only note that Bundy didn't actually make any "racist" comments.  Instead, what he DID do was point out how terribly, terribly destructive that Democrats and the rest of the "progressive" movement have been for black Americans over the past few decades.  If there's anything racist going on, it involves trapping African-Americans in a grinding cycle of poverty and despair, while psychologically bullying them into continuing to support the very people — the Democrats — who trapped them in the first place.

Obama program aims to reduce 'births' among blacks, Latinos.  President Barack Obama is attempting to lower the rate of "births" — and separately, pregnancies — among blacks and Latinos.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists reducing "births" as one of the top goals of Obama's "Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative."  The language on the CDC's website makes clear that the program seeks to reduce the rate of both pregnancies and "births" among minorities.

Erasing the race card.  The race cards have been flying so fast and furious lately, one can hardly tell the kings from the queens.  Leading the weird lately has been Democratic Alabama state Rep. Alvin Holmes, who called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina "Uncle Toms."  Holmes, who also has said that it's fine by him if men want to marry mules and, while we're exorcising demons, that white people are only pro-life until their daughter gets pregnant by a black man.

Black Lives, Democrat Lies.  A fascinating article by Francis Wilkinson appeared in Bloomberg View last week (h/t Instapundit).  Wilkinson detailed the fact that income inequality between whites and blacks is worse in leftist cities: [...] Now to someone like me — a former liberal who became a conservative, in part, because I saw the devastation wrought on poor black neighborhoods by leftist policies — this is no surprise, not even all that interesting.  What I did find riveting though were the desperate attempts by presumably left-leaning social scientists to explain the discrepancy away.

Progressive Insurance.  No one asks Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to step down from the Supreme Court; but in a quite frightening remark, she quipped that she was surprised about the uproar over abortion:  "Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of."  Frankly, that seemed a savage thing to say, especially given the inordinate percentages of abortions among minorities and the poor.

Blacks must reject purveyors of dependency, victimhood.  During the dark days of slavery in America, there were many geographic areas where the number of slaves significantly surpassed the number of whites and slave owners.  This occasioned appropriate anxiety for the owners, who cleverly sowed seeds of discord among the different groups of slaves in an attempt to effectively destroy unity.  For example, field slaves were told that the house slaves thought of themselves as superior. [...] In today's culture, there are political forces that see the descendents of slaves as useful objects for maintaining their positions of wealth and power.  By promising to care for their every need, they create dependency.

The states with the most segregated public schools are epicenters of liberalism.  The state with the most segregated public schools is New York.  Other states with exceptionally segregated schools include California, Illinois and Michigan.  These findings come from a longitudinal study of enrollment figures conducted by the Civil Rights Project at the University of California at Los Angeles, The Associated Press reports.  The period studied was 1998 through 2010.

Report: NY Schools Are Most Racially Segregated.  New York state has the most segregated public schools in the nation, with many black and Latino students attending schools with virtually no white classmates, according to a report released Wednesday [3/26/2014].

Few African Americans Enrolling in Covered California.  African Americans make up about 7 percent of California's population but just 3 percent of Covered CA enrollees.  But the situation is actually worse than that because African Americans make up 17 percent of the state's uninsured population, the very people Obamacare was supposed to attract.

The Democratic Party's War on Black People and How to Counter It.  As one of the relatively few people (percentage wise) to have spent more than a decade on both sides of our political divide, and also to have participated personally in the civil rights movement in the South in the sixties, I am going to say something that will be extremely controversial to liberals, indeed make them hate me.  Given all those years I spent on the two sides, I have observed liberals to be vastly more racist than conservatives and libertarians.  It isn't even close.  During the time I was on the left, I heard many racially disparaging comments by my associates either offered in confidence or as off-hand remarks.

Unruly Progressives.  Sure, once in a while, a prominent liberal will run afoul of his brethren.  MSNBC dropped its relationship with Alec Baldwin shortly after suspending him in the wake of video footage of the actor allegedly shouting homophobic slurs to a paparazzo.  Around the same time, Martin Bashir resigned after he declared, on air, that someone should defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth.  But Democrats are given a wide, wide berth for comments they themselves would be quick to label racist.  South Carolina Democratic chairman Dick Harpootlian, for example, urged his party to "send Nikki Haley back to wherever the hell she came from."  (That would be Bamberg, S.C., but her parents were Sikh immigrants from India.)

How 'My Brother's Keeper' Stands to Destroy Already Bad Schools.  Though the Obama presidency has years to go, he has already initiated his legacy project.  It's called My Brother's Keeper and attempts to help "at risk" young men of color — those prone to crime, mayhem, drug addiction, and fathering illegitimate children. [...] That's the good news.  The bad news is that Obama's putative cure is a modern-day Progressive nightmare.  It will fail while further generating government make-work jobs, and most importantly, it will hurt the education of millions of minority children.  This awaiting nightmare is hardly hidden, and tellingly, everything starts with more government jobs.

When Blacks Voted 80 Percent Dem, Malcolm X Called Them 'Chumps'.  When blacks gave 80 percent of their vote to the Democratic Party in 1964, black activist Malcolm X called them "political chumps."  White voters, X said, "are so evenly divided that every time they vote, the race is so close they have to go back and count the votes all over again.  Which means that any bloc, any minority that has a bloc that sticks together is in a strategic position.  Either way you go, that's who gets it."  Yet Democrats, said Malcolm X, failed to deliver on a promised and much anticipated new civil rights bill, knowing the party could still count on their blind support in the next election.

Poll: Just 11% of blacks say life under Obama is better for young African-Americans.  President Obama is going to have to do a whole lot more than promise to make things better for young blacks under his new "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, because 71 percent of voters in a new poll say life for the group is the same or worse than before he came into office.

The Left versus minorities and charter schools.  If anyone wanted to pick a time and place where the political Left's avowed concern for minorities was definitively exposed as a fraud, it would be now — and the place would be New York City, where far-Left Mayor Bill de Blasio has launched an attack on charter schools, cutting their funding, among other things.  These schools have given thousands of low-income minority children their only shot at a decent education, which often means their only shot at a decent life.  Last year, 82 percent of the students at a charter school called Success Academy passed city-wide mathematics exams, compared to 30 percent of the students in the city as a whole.

Florida Democrat: we need immigration reform to get hotel maids and lawn guys.  It's a [very] good thing for Alex Sink, the Democrat running against David Jolly in a tight Florida special election for Congress, that she isn't a Republican.  If she had an (R) after her name, there would be nothing left of her after remarking that immigration reform is vitally necessary to keep hotels full of maids, and lawns well-tended: [...]

Biden: 'I May Be a White Boy, But I Can Jump'.  During a celebration of African-American History Month, Vice President Joe Biden said, "I may be a white boy, but I can jump."  The comments were made at Biden's home, the Naval Observatory.

Black Pastors: Impeach Holder.  A coalition of black pastors announced on Tuesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that they are launching a campaign to gather one million signatures on a petition calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Eric Holder for violating his oath of office by trying "to coerce states to fall in line with the same-sex 'marriage' agenda."  "President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have turned their backs on the values the American people hold dear, values particularly cherished in
