NBC and Its Monkey Commercials and Edited Videos
NBC was forced to apologize as cries of racism were leveled against the network after airing an ad featuring a monkey seconds after African American Olympian Gabby Douglas won the gold for gymnastics. This is amusing seeing as how the same network selectively edited a recording in order to make Floridian George Zimmerman appear to [...]
‘The key thing is that Obama is angry, and he’s talking not in his normal voice but in a “black dialect.”’
Jonathan Chait on “The Real Reason ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Works“: Mitt Romney’s plan of blatantly lying about President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” speech is clearly drawing blood. But what makes the attack work so well is not so much the lie itself but the broader subtext of it. … The key thing is [...]
LA Times Styles Romney the Whites Only Candidate
On June 18 the L.A. Times turned in a sly performance attempting to paint Mitt Romney as the whites only candidate in a piece headlined, “Romney, Cows and Ice Cream: Targeting Conservative, White ‘Backbone’.” Romney is calling his current Midwest campaign stint a tour of the “backbone of America,” but it seems the Times is [...]
Confiscated: Obama Afraid Latinos Will Attack Him With Forks At Luncheon
Imagine if Bush had insulted his Latino guests like this. Latinos with forks, that seems to be Obama’s newest fear. At least, that’s the case judging from his actions at this years National Association of Latino Elected Officials (NALEO) luncheon since Obama had the Secret Service confiscate all the dinner forks from the participants at [...]
Georgia: KKK Won’t Be Allowed To Adopt A Highway
As invariably happens, especially in a story with natural racial overtones, when a conservative tries to point out where the obvious hypocrisy would be, I’ll be branded a racist. But here goes anyway. A one mile stretch of highway in North Georgia will remain unkept, at least until another, more suitable group applies to adopt [...]
WaPo says Obama’s massive primary fail is “racism”
Tuesday night, Barack Obama was handed two more embarrassing near-defeats in the Democratic primaries held in Arkansas and Kentucky. In the Arkansas primary, challenger John Wolfe won nearly 42% of the vote, and in Kentucky 42% of Democrats selected “uncommitted” over President Obama. So far, four states — AR, KY, WV, and OK — [...]
CNN’S Roland Martin: Racism is in ‘America’s DNA’
As far as race-baiter Roland Martin of CNN is concerned, America is guilty until proven innocent. Guilty of racism as some sort of original sin, one that can never be washed away by either deeds or absolution. On April 26, Martin got his inner Je$$e Jack$on on and tweeted: “I simply accept the reality that [...]
Black School Kids Take Bat to Piñata Shaped Like White Woman, Media Yawns
Todd Starnes reports that the University of Memphis recently hastened to express its deep regret that it sponsored an event for grade school kids featuring the opportunity to have a grad ol’ time using a stick to smack around a piñata shaped like a white woman. No “racial or gender animosity was intended,” the University [...]
Left’s Claims of GOP Racism, Utah’s Mia Love Takes Nomination
Why, oh, why can’t those racist, women-hating Republicans ever nominate a black woman to anything? I mean, those kindly leftists are right, those evil Republi… oh, wait. Looks like those lying Democrats are wrong again. We see in Utah where Mia Love has just overwhelmingly taken the GOP nomination to run for Utah’s 4th Congressional [...]
“The mainstream media are not terribly interested in this story”
That and more from Robert Avrech who notices the lack of interest in an event that can’t be used to foist an agenda on the gullible and the emotive: That’s because their outrage is only a tactic in the liberal war against Conservatives. Liberals are not really upset about Trayvon Martin’s death. They only view Martin as [...]
“There’s a hope vacuum, and look what’s moving in”
Ann Althouse on the country’s state in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting and the fact that George Zimmerman’s life is being publicly threatened by a hate group while Obama’s justice department is silent: Good lord, what an ugly place we are in right now. Who would have thought that in the last year [...]
Angela Davis calls Obama a Black Radical
And is immediately pounced upon: The “delusional effect” that swept Black America with the advent of the First Black President has warped and weakened the mental powers of some of our most revered icons – and it has been painful to behold. Earlier this month, Angela Davis diminished herself as a scholar and thinker in [...]
“Widespread system failure here — and a deplorable absence of truth”
Deacon Greg, a newsman prior to wearing the collar, is more than a tad upset, and rightly so, about NBC’s video editing scandal: Now, in my experience, there are a few logical explanations: The audio quality may have been poor, so they cut parts that were hard to understand. They needed to trim out the [...]
“The main problem for young black men is not violent white men chasing them. It is black on black violence.”
I watched a local news report yesterday focused on a rally in support of Trayvon Martin. The reporter was interviewing a mother who was near hysterical in voicing her fear that her teenage son might also be set upon by an assailant because her son is black and because her son wears a hoodie. The [...]
Mob rule anyone?
President Obama interjected himself into the Trayvon Martin tragedy when he stated at a press conference Friday, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon“. Many took the comment to be a reaction to criticism he’d been silent for too long on what had taken place in Florida. I’d like to see him [...]
“Justice for Trayvon Martin must be rooted in truth”
The Anchoress is making sense where too many are making hay: … my heart cannot help but go out to the family of Trayvon Martin, and my prayer is that this case gets a thorough and honest investigation which will result in justice being done. Much is being assumed of this case, when not everything is yet known, and [...]
Why are the deaths of these black men being ignored?(UPDATED)
While the death of Trayvon Martin, as tragic as it might be, is grabbing every headline imaginable? George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin, 17, in an altercation in Sanford, Florida. Police ruled it self-defense under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law. The federal government is investigating. Zimmerman is white, Martin was black. The One Million [...]
“Is it any wonder his agenda is so anti-American?”
An editorial at Investors Business Daily analyzes the Breitbart vetting Obama video and its meaning: Obama’s days at Harvard have been shrouded in secrecy. But a new video lifts a corner of the veil, revealing his creepy embrace of the “Jeremiah Wright of academia.” It turns out his favorite law professor was the late Derrick [...]
What we can learn from the Barack Obama/Derrick Bell video
Yesterday, Breitbart.com released a video showing Barack Obama, then a law student at Harvard University, physically embracing law professor Derrick Bell and encouraging attendees at a Harvard symposium to “open up hearts and minds” to his teachings. The short video clip, captured from a projection screen during a presentation by Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree, also [...]
Ice Creamed: Ben and Jerry’s Apologize for Their Racism
Jeremy Lin, the famed nouveau New York Knicks basketball icon, must be about tired of this foolishness at this point. Oh, I am not talking about racism being perpetrated against him, but the claims of almost racism that were accidentally, but not really, perpetrated against him. This time it is the lefty ice cream empire [...]
Fired ESPN Editor Claims no Racial Slam Meant with ‘Chink in Armor’ Headline
The headline written by ESPN editor Anthony Federico about Asian-American basketball star Jeremy Lin lasted only about a half hour before ESPN changed it but the fallout is lasting a bit longer for editor Federico. On its Saturday story on Jeremy Lin’s less than stellar game the night before, ESPN’s headline screamed, “Chink in the [...]
“…there is reason to believe that strict right-wing ideology might appeal to those who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world”
Ugh. Here we go again – “Low IQ and Conservative Beliefs Linked To Prejudice.” I kid you not: Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, [researcher Gordon Hodson] wrote in an email to LiveScience. [...]
“You are defying the King holiday. Shame, Shame, Shame. This is a racist act”
Protesters in a leaflet to a bank that did not close its doors today: After a Martin Luther King Jr. Day observance at Burlington’s City Hall Contois Auditorium Monday, about a dozen demonstrators marched on the TD Bank branch just down the street to protest the bank’s opening on the holiday. The marchers briefly gathered [...]
Colorblindness is bad, multiculturalism is good
Psychology Today turns Martin Luther King’s message on its ear: Racial issues are often uncomfortable to discuss and rife with stress and controversy. Many ideas have been advanced to address this sore spot in the American psyche. Currently, the most pervasive approach is known as colorblindness. Colorblindness is the racial ideology that posits the best way to [...]
Confession Of A Racist?
I was watching a few of my favorite movies recently, and realized that they both had supporting actors that just freaking owned the screen whenever they were on camera. The first was Chewitel Ejiofor, who played The Operative in Serenity; the second was Idris Elba, who played Heimdall in Thor. Maybe it was because I [...]
