How About ”No”, and I Won’t Be Filling Your Red Pots This Year Either.

Actually, I will probably relent on the red pot. I still want the beneficiaries to get my donations. I just wish I didn’t have to do it through a company that hates me.

Salvation Army Demands “Sincere Apology” From White Donors For Their Racism (lifezette.com)

Leadership in the Salvation Army has embraced the ideologies that are pushed by the Black Lives Matter movement by launching the “International Social Justice Commission,” which has since created a “resource” to educate its white donors, volunteers, and staffers that they call Let’s Talk about Racism.

This “resource” states that because Christianity is inherently racist, white Christians owe “a sincere apology” to blacks for being “antagonistic…to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community.”

Actually, after reading this, forget it. I’ll still donate, but I’ll donate elsewhere. You don’t deserve my money and you won’t have it.

I Really Can’t Stand Racism

U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Suni Lee Says She Was Target Of Racist Attack | The Daily Wire

I can’t even describe how wrong this is.

Lee told “PopSugar” that after a night out with friends — all of Asian descent — in Los Angeles, and while waiting for an Uber, a car sped by with its occupants yelling at the group to “go back where you came from” and also shouted a racist comment. Lee said her arm was hit by pepper spray by one of the occupants of the vehicle.

“I was so mad, but there was nothing I could do or control because they skirted off,” she said in the interview. “I didn’t do anything to them, and having the reputation, it’s so hard because I didn’t want to do anything that could get me into trouble. I just let it happen.”

This makes me so mad. I can’t blame Biden for this one. Racism against non-black ethnic groups has been on the rise for more than a decade, probably since 9/11. Whatever happened to “the Great American Melting Pot”? How do we get it back?

This Is Entirely the Result of Liberal Media and the Policies of Democrats Over the Last Decade or So

Report: Anti-white hate crimes went up 127% in L.A. | One America News Network (oann.com)

In 2020, anti-white hate crimes climbed 127 percent, showing the highest increase of any other racial group.

“This report is another alarming reminder that we have a long way to go in building a more inclusive and just society,” said Hilda L. Solis, the chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

Anti-Asian hate crimes increased by 76 percent, mirroring similar statistics in other major U.S. cities. Meanwhile, anti-Black crimes increased by 35 percent, while anti-Latino crimes jumped 58 percent.

It’s Not Your Fault That You Thought This, nor Is It an Accident

For the last year, we’ve heard nothing about this trial that didn’t include the words “white supremacy” and “racism”, so of course you’d think Rittenhouse’s attackers were black. And their race was never mentioned. This is how media bias works.

All White People Are Racist All the Time

Voting for Black People Is Racist If They're Republicans - by Jim Treacher - Who the Hell Is Jim Treacher? (substack.com)

Extensive quoting from the linked article. Apologies:

If you’re a white person in America, that means you’re a racist. We all know this by now. And because you’re white, and therefore a racist by birth, that means every single thing you do and say is racist.

For eight years, it was racist to ever disagree with the president of the United States because his father was black. For four subsequent years, it was racist to ever agree with the president of the United States because he defeated a white woman. (It gets complicated. Just roll with it.) Every single bad thing that happens in America is due to racism. If you question this article of leftist faith, you are, of course, a racist.

But don’t think that electing a black person to public office lets you off the hook. Oh no. Just because rock-ribbed conservative Winsome Sears is the new Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, replacing a black man who is credibly accused of sexual assault, that doesn’t mean you’re not still a racist.

Read it and weep, racist.

Fivethirtyeight is here to remind us why we’re racist, even when we think we’re not.

#FacePalm

I can’t believe this is serious journalism. It would have been in The Onion back when it was funny. Today, it would be in The Babylon Bee. But no, it’s real.

Racism Rampant on MSNBC

Quelle surprise!

MSNBC Slammed Over ‘Disgusting Racist Rant’ Attacking Black Republican: ‘Unbelievably Insidious’ | The Daily Wire

Watch this, if you can.

At least they got properly slammed for it.

A few of the better responses:

  • Colin Wright, evolutionary biologist: “This is one of the more disgusting racist rants I’ve heard in a while. The ideology producing this is unbelievably insidious. I just can’t fathom how so many self-proclaimed “anti-racists” are unable to see this rant as the epitome of what they claim to be against.”
  • Brian Riedl, economist: “This is more racist than anything you’ll see on Fox News.”
  • The New Liberals Podcast: “I’m on my way to a nice date, so I don’t want to get my blood up, but: It offends me to my very bones that this is accepted in polite society. It offends me that the host nods along. It offends me that his mic wasn’t cut. It offends me that he’ll be praised for saying this. I likely would not have voted for @WinsomeSears , had I had the opportunity. But she is her own woman. She is not a g*****n puppet. Show some respect.”
  • Rita Panahi, political commentator: “Disgusting racism from @MSNBC These ‘anti-racists’ are proudly, boldly racist. Gross.”

Notice that some of these are from the left.

Racism is racism no matter where it comes from. Personally, I find the left to be far more racist than the right in almost every way. But, when I see it on the right, I call it out there too. It’s disgusting and vile and should not be tolerated, even (especially) if it’s from people you otherwise agree with.

CRT = Racism. Period.

CRT: It Doesn’t Exist…And It’s Awesome! [with comment by Paul] | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)

Read this and tell me there’s any other conclusion to draw.

Quoting liberally from Power Line Blog because it’s so important:

These people are openly anti-American. They make no bones about it. They hate our country and are trying to destroy it, and their control over K-12 education, which is unchallenged in many places, makes that a reasonable ambition. While national attention is understandably focused on Virginia’s election for governor, the country’s school board elections will be more important in the long run.

Wherever you live, seats on your school board are probably being contested. The Golden Rule is, never vote for anyone who is endorsed by your state’s teachers’ union. If you inquire, you can easily find out whether there are pro-America candidates running for your local school board. If there are, you should vote for them. Turnout in school board elections is notoriously low, often in single digits, which is why far-left teachers’ unions have generally been able to select the school boards “against” whom they negotiate contracts.

This year, pro-America candidates have emerged in most states. Some will win, but most, in all likelihood, will fail to overcome the Left’s immense financial resources. But next year may be a different story: this year some tremors, in 2022, the earthquake. With another year, not just to spread awareness of the evils of CRT and the anti-American bias that has largely taken over our public schools, but also to organize, identify candidates, raise a modest amount of money and rally behind them, we may see a revolution.

So Much Wrong in One Short Title

Nation of Islam Professor: Jewish Weed Is Making Black Men Gay – PJ Media

Anit-Semitism. Homophobia. And what the heck is “Jewish weed” anyway?

“It is Jewish genius that has helped to weaponize the weed so that it may effeminize the black male of America. And be clear, it is Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam that is standing in between the total demasculinization of the black man in America,” Muhammad boldly and unscientifically declared.

Wow.

Ok, I thought we’d established that you cant “turn people gay”, just as you can’t “turn people straight”.

Second, we can weaponize marijuana now? I wasn’t even aware that Jews had much to do with pot. Huh.

Really, the whole thing is patently ridiculous.

So, What You’re Sayings Is That White Privilege Isn’t Always a Privilege

Ibram X. Kendi accidentally undermines his views on white privilege and systemic racism in now-deleted tweet | The Post Millennial

Wait, why would whites lie and pretend to be non-white? Wouldn’t that make things harder for them?

"Thirteen percent," The Hill reports, "falsely marked that they were Latino, while 10 percent falsely claimed to be Black. Nine percent of those surveyed lied that they were Asian or Pacific Islander." Of these students who checked identity boxes to which they were not entitled, 85 percent "believe that falsifying their racial minority status helped them secure admission to college."

The numbers further show that 48 percent of those lying about their race were white male students, compared to only 16 percent of white female students.

Kendi presumably shared the story before he realized that instead of holding up his ideas about race and society in the US, it could be evidence of exactly the opposite of his views, which would be likely why he deleted it.

D’oh.

I May Have to Dump AT&T Soon

AT&T's Racial Reeducation Program | City Journal (city-journal.org)

AT&T Corporation has created a racial reeducation program that promotes the idea that “American racism is a uniquely white trait” and boosts left-wing causes such as “reparations,” “defund police,” and “trans activism.”

I have obtained a cache of internal documents about the company’s initiative, called Listen Understand Act, which is based on the core principles of critical race theory, including “intersectionality,” “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” and “white fragility.” CEO John Stankey launched the program last year and, subsequently, has told employees that private corporations such as AT&T have an “obligation to engage on this issue of racial injustice” and push for “systemic reforms in police departments across the country.”

According to a senior employee, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity, managers at AT&T are now assessed annually on diversity issues, with mandatory participation in programs such as discussion groups, book clubs, mentorship programs, and race reeducation exercises. White employees, the source said, are tacitly expected to confess their complicity in “white privilege” and “systemic racism,” or they will be penalized in their performance reviews. As part of the overall initiative, employees are asked to sign a loyalty pledge to “keep pushing for change,” with suggested “intentions” such as “reading more about systemic racism” and “challenging others’ language that is hateful.” “If you don’t do it,” the senior employee says, “you’re [considered] a racist.” AT&T did not respond when asked for comment.

I like my AT&T TV and internet. But I don’t deal with corporations who are basing their corporate philosophies on racism.

Huh.

Seems like that logic would apply to other things too.

I Truly Hope He Ends up Going to Prison

I’m skeptical. But I keep hoping.

Jussie Smollett Is Headed Back To Court Set For November – PJ Media

We’ll have to see where this case goes in November, but in case you forgot…

The actor claimed that he was attacked at 2 a.m. on the streets of Chicago by two masked men after purchasing a Subway sandwich on January 29 , ABC News reported. The men allegedly poured an unknown substance–possibly bleach, possibly nothing at all–on Smollett and tied a noose around his neck, allegedly that is–or at least that is what Smollett told the police. Oh! And the two men allegedly shouted “MAGA country” while doing so because, you know…”orange-man bad.”

[…]

Except it turns out that reportedly the two men were Nigerian brothers paid $3,500 for a staged attack. Oops.

Yeah. Oops.

As I keep saying, demand for racism in America greatly exceeds supply. Smollett needs to go to prison and this needs to be a public example of what happens to you when you commit a race hoax.

In Biden’s America, You Can Be Suspended for Refusing to Be Racist

Insane: UCLA Prof Suspended for Treating Students Equally – PJ Media

“I was suspended from my job,” Klein explained, “for refusing to treat my black students as lesser than their non-black peers.” His ordeal began on June 2, 2020, when “a non-black student in my class on tax principles and law emailed me to ask that I grade his black classmates with greater ‘leniency’ than others in the class.”

In a sane society, a “non-black student” who demanded that black students be graded with greater “leniency” than others would be castigated as a racist.

That’s because it is racist.

As I said previously. This. Must. Stop. Now.

We Fought a War Over This, and Several Brave Young People Crossed Picket Lines and Worse to End This Sort of Thing

“Black Only” Housing Opening at Universities Around the Nation, Other Races Can Allegedly Apply to Live There (lifezette.com)

I’m not even going to quote the article, or make any kinds of excuses.

This is racism. Period. Full stop. It must end. Period. Full stop.

If you don’t agree, you’re part of the problem. Go back and read your Constitution. Read the Bill of Rights. Read about what happened with Governor George Wallace (D-AL). Read about Rosa Parks. Read about Jackie Robinson.

And then if you still think this is a good idea, you completely missed the point. Go back and read them again. And again. And again. Until it sinks in.

Otherwise you are a racist bigot and frankly the world needs less of you.

More Fake Racism in Georgia

Dindunuffin, Georgia Terrorist Threatening to Kill Black People Was Actually a Black Woman Creating a Hoax Crime - The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

GEORGIA – […] Since last December, a Douglasville, Georgia neighborhood has been gripped in fear due to racially charged messages that have anonymously been left in the mailboxes of residents of color, reports Fox News. But now police said they have made an arrest and the alleged culprit is not who the neighbors expected.

Wednesday, the Douglasville Police Department confirmed that they had filed criminal charges against Terresha Lucas. Lucas is a 30-year-old Black woman who they believe threatened people in her community while posing as a Ku Klux Klan member.

If racism is so rampant in America, why is there such need to make it up?

Whoops, We’re Low on Racism Again. Time to DIY Once More

Hate Crime at Missouri School Turns Out to Be Another Hoax – PJ Media

The graffiti was found in the boys’ bathroom at Parkway Central Wednesday, and the same things were scrawled on a bathroom wall at Parkway North: “HOPE ALL BLACK PEOPLE DIE” and “N****R.” The next morning at Parkway Central, according to St. Louis’ KMOV, “over a thousand students and staff walked out of Parkway Central High Schools in solidarity… Parkway Central students, staff and teachers walked out during class to stand in solidarity and asking the administration for change.”

How did the school administration react?

Parkway Central Principal Tim McCarthy, however, was not in the least inclined to sweep the matter under the rug, and appeared anxious to do better. He took immediate action, telling students: “As your building principal, these actions which degrade individuals’ human dignity have no place in school. They have no place at Central High and are antithetical to our core values of respect, integrity and caring.”

Of course. And McCarthy wasn’t finished. He sent a note home to parents informing them that “a serious incident” had taken place: “Racist hate speech was written on bathroom walls at school.” He assured parents, in case any were wondering whether he approved of this, that “this act is an affront to the core values of our community and a serious violation of our discipline code. Please know that we take this offense seriously and will work with district officials to investigate the incident and hold anyone involved accountable for their actions.”

But…

Amid all this affirmation of prevailing pieties, which hardly anyone actually rejects, there was just one catch: on Tuesday, a black student admitted to having scrawled the graffiti at both schools. Marty wrote to parents again, telling them this and saying that he was nevertheless “proud” of the students who protested, for “proactively [leading] walkouts.” He declared: “We remain hurt by the actions of the student, as it does not represent the values of our community.”

PRO TIP: Maybe wait for the facts next time before foaming at the mouth. Might save you from looking like an idiot later.

Once Again, the Demand for Racism Exceeds the Supply

Time to go to the DIY Racism Store.

HATE CRIME HOAX: Black University Employee Arrested For Allegedly Painting Racist Graffiti on School Building | The Daily Wire

In August, someone painted several racist and offensive slurs on a building at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, local news outlet WSB-TV reported that the “Emory Autism Center has become the target of several crimes, including burglary and vandalism, including graffiti of racial slurs and swastikas.”

A police report for the incident also mentioned that vending machines in the building were vandalized, along with a glass door that had been shattered. A large rock was found several feet away.

“The area where racial slurs were reportedly written along the walls are near the workspace occupied by two African-American women and a swastika was in a hallway near a Jewish man’s office,” WSB-TV reported.

In a statement, Emory University spokesperson Laura Diamond told the outlet: “These acts of racism and antisemitism are painful for all of us at the EAC and in the Emory community. They will not be tolerated, and every effort will be made to bring the perpetrators to justice.”

A week later, the perpetrator was charged with burglary second degree by Georgia law enforcement and named as Roy Lee Gordon, Jr

Well, the racist stuff is awful, but glad they caught the guy.

The College Fix reported on August 25 that the school was refusing to reveal Gordon’s race and that he wasn’t charged with a hate crime even though such slurs would typically lead to such a charge.

Huh. That’s odd. I wonder why.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution finally obtained an arrest photo of Gordon, showing he is black. The College Fix noted that the school knew this but refused to say so for more than a month.

Wait. He’s black?

So, the so-called “hate crime” wasn’t a hate crim at all. It was just a hoax. Why didn’t Emory announce that fact. Seems like that would have been the responsible thing to do. Might calm racial tensions on campus a bit.

But it wouldn’t fit the narrative.

There is no truth. Just the narrative.

George Orwell would be so proud.

When I Was Growing Up, We Called This ”Racism”

Woke English Opera Fires 14 White Musicians for Having Wrong Skin Color – PJ Media

Fourteen musicians with the English Touring Opera (ETO), some of whom have been performing with the company for 20 years, have been fired because of the color of their skin.

Claiming they are following diversity guidance from Arts Council England, ETO has informed the white musicians that they will not be offered contracts for the 2022 season. Though the positions are technically freelance jobs, many of the musicians consider the work a permanent gig.

I wish they had been judged by the quality of their musicianship and not the color of their skin.
