N.Y. Reparations Panel Members Make Bold Claims

18th March 2024

Read it.

Members of New York’s Reparations and Racial Justice Commission, Ron Daniels and Lurie Daniel Favors, have made headlines in the New York Post with their outspoken comments on a variety of contentious issues.

It’s interesting how many black women do their best to resemble white women as much as possible. Perhaps the high number of black men marrying (or hooking up with) actual white women makes them feel insecure.

The Missouri school where a black student beat a white girl into a seizure last week has a history of anti-white racism cases and violent confrontations, according to local residents, former students and staffers.

Now a former student at the Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis has charged that anti-white bullying has been ongoing at the school for decades.

In addition, locals say fights have extended out into their neighbourhoods for years.

Victim Envy

1st March 2024

The New Neo.

Jillian Becker writes of a phenomenon she calls Leidensneid. It’s a word she made up, one of those composite German terms that combine two other words, in this case “leiden” (to suffer) and “Neid” (envy).

Leidensneid is a part of virtue signaling and is particularly rampant on the left these days. But it’s been around for much longer than that.

Trans Virginia Lawmaker Called ‘Sir,’ Marches Out

28th February 2024

Read it.

A Virginia state senator stormed out of the chamber after being misgendered as “sir” by the lieutenant governor in a confrontation that caused the Virginia legislature to go into recess twice, the The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

In video footage of the exchange, Sen. Danica Roem, who is transgender and a Democrat, can be heard asking: “Madame President, how many votes would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause?”

Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, a Republican replied, “Yes, sir, that would be 32,” at which point Roem marched out of the room.

‘Misgendering’ is one of those slanted political phrases that assumes what it ought to have to prove. Arguably, the person doing the ‘misgendering’ is the delusional ‘trans’ person.

I must say that, if I were assured that ‘misgendering’ a ‘trans’ lawmaker would force them to leave, I’d be tempted to do it all the time. Think of it as evolution in action.

Ontario Women’s Event That Canceled Jewish Speaker Over IDF Service Is Itself Canceled

25th February 2024

Read it.

A Canadian International Women’s Day event that drew attention for canceling its keynote speaker over her past Israeli military service has itself now been canceled.

“Circumstances beyond our control” led to the cancelation of the event in Peterborough, Ontario, that had been planned by INSPIRE, a women’s empowerment organization, the group told kawarthaNOW, a local online publication, this week.

The cancelation came just days after a Jewish Telegraphic Agency report that INSPIRE had rescinded its speaking invitation to Leah Goldstein, a Jewish motivational speaker and the first woman to win a grueling 3,000- mile bicycle race across the United States. It cited as the reason “a small but growing and extremely vocal group” that took issue with Goldstein’s IDF service more than 30 years ago.

Family Sets Up GoFundMe for Suspect Who Allegedly Started Shootout at KC Super Bowl Parade

24th February 2024

Read it.

The mother of the suspect who started the deadly shootout at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade last week, reportedly set up a (now deleted) GoFundMe to help him get through the “tragic time.”

Two adult black males were charged with murder Tuesday over the mass shooting that left one dead and 22 others injured, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said. Eleven of the victims were children and were sent to nearby Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Lyndell Mays, 23, of Raytown, and Dominic M. Miller, 18, of Kansas City, both face charges of second-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. Although both face murder charges, Baker said Miller’s firearm was the one that fatally wounded Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 43-year-old mother of two.

Mays allegedly first drew his handgun after getting into a verbal altercation with another person. Miller and others immediately pulled their firearms, leading to the shootout, Baker said.

A stolen Glock 9mm handgun was found on the ground near Mays, according to the charging documents.

Black Calif. Lawmakers Introduce Reparations Bills

21st February 2024

Read it.

California’s Legislative Black Caucus on Wednesday detailed a package of 14 reparation bills they introduced to right historic wrongs carried out against the Black community.

Legislators said the bills are meant to be the first step in a multi-year effort. Among several issues, they would compensate people whose property was taken in race-based cases of eminent domain, seek an apology from the governor and legislature for human rights violations, and fund community-based programs to decrease violence in Black communities.

Caucus chair, Assembly member Lori Wilson, said during the press conference that the package of bills aims to address “how we as Californians are still affected by slavery and it’s successors in our own state, including redlining, theft of labor, wealth and capital, over-incarceration, over-policing and systemic discrimination.”

Public Schools In Portland Face Civil Rights Complaints Over Diversity Efforts

21st February 2024

Read it.

On Thursday, Portland Public Schools (PPS) were sued by an education advocacy group over claims that the school district’s push for diversity in disciplinary actions constitutes a violation of civil rights.

As reported by the Daily Caller, the watchdog group Parents Defending Education (PDE) accuses PPS of violating the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, as well as other civil rights law, with its “Student Support and Discipline” policy. The policy forces teachers and staff members to address “disruptive student behavior” by taking into account the offending student’s identity, including race, gender, and sexual preference, before handing out punishment, if any. In addition, the policy orders the district to assign teachers based on race and gender.

The policy clearly states that staff members “must take into consideration the impact of issues related to the student’s trauma, race, gender identity/presentation, sexual orientation, disability, social emotional learning, and restorative justice as appropriate for the student.”

Harvard Professor Says “All Hell Broke Loose” When His Study Revealed No Racial Bias In Police Shootings

18th February 2024

Read it.

Bari Weiss of The Free Press sat down with Harvard Economics Professor Roland Fryer at the University of Austin last week to discuss what it means to pursue the truth.

Fryer, a highly respected economist, told Weiss about the intense blowback that was dealt to him after he published a study in 2016 showing there were “no racial differences in officer involved-shootings.”

After the study was published, in a matter of days, the professor said, “All hell broke loose,” and people were “losing their minds when they didn’t like the result.”

The study found that police were over two times more likely to use physical force, such as manhandling or beating, against black and hispanic individuals compared to people from other races. On the other hand, the findings also revealed that police were 23.8% less inclined to use firearms against black individuals and 8.5% less inclined to do so against Hispanic individuals, compared to whites.

New Form of Racism Has Been Discovered

Moving is racist, when white people do it. When a white person chooses to relocate, the consequences are racism. To understand this, you have to understand what Steve Sailer dubs “Dirt Theory”: Any geographical location where black or brown people live is “Tragic Dirt,” afflicted by poverty and violence, and the only solution to their problem is to move them to white-occupied “Magic Dirt,” where everybody is rich and all the kids have high test scores. At least, this is how liberals seem to believe the world works, and have made “Dirt Theory” the basis of their attitude on such issues as immigration. In their disordered minds, people like Harvard Professor Raj Chetty believe that analysis of geographic data about poverty, crime, etc., will yield insights about the causes of these phenomena — places matter more than people.

“They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination,” she said, according to the Mail. “That is why I joined with [Massachusetts] Senators [Ed] Markey and [Elizabeth] Warren to demand answers from Walgreens’ CEO.”

Legal Issues Cloud Missouri School District’s Race-Based Hiring

1st February 2024

The Foundry.

A Missouri school district intends to double its percentage of minority teachers even as the state’s attorney general has warned that private companies that racially discriminate in hiring face legal action.

Webster Groves School District’s teaching and administrative staff should match the racial demographics of its student body, according to the Missouri school system’s strategic plan. The public school district implemented its plan this winter and aims to accomplish listed goals within three years.

One objective of Webster Groves, a school system in the suburbs of St. Louis, is to “attract, support, and retain exceptionally talented staff who at minimum reflect the diversity of our student population.”

In the 2023-2024 school year, 11% of teachers and administrators for Webster Groves are nonwhite, an increase of 4 percentage points from 7% nonwhite in the 2017-2018 school year.

The school district would have to increase the percentage of nonwhite teachers to 22.2% to match the student body, according to documents posted online for the Dec. 13 meeting of the Webster Groves school board.

Why Are Americans at Each Other’s Throats? Ask Barack Obama.

8th January 2024

Newsbusters.

Even those who voted against Obama nevertheless felt his victory made a profound statement about the country. Polls showed both blacks and whites expected “race relations” to improve. But after Obama’s eight years in office, both blacks and whites thought race relations got worse. What happened?

From the beginning of Obama’s presidency until its end, the man America’s considered a unifier played one race card after another. He enraged American law enforcement by falsely accusing a white Cambridge police officer of “acting stupidly.” He implied the officer was racially motivated when he gave to a reasonable and lawful order to a black Harvard professor, who resisted it. When black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a self-appointed neighborhood watchman, Obama said, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The jury found the defendant not guilty, and the jurors said race played no role in the encounter. But Obama, who later embraced Black Lives Matter, again advanced the false narrative of anti-black “systemic racism.” Never mind studies showing cops more reluctant, more hesitant to pull the trigger on a black suspect than a white suspect.

In an interview, the man who said he would not blame race if he lost the election said: “The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives — you know, that casts a long shadow, and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. We’re not cured of it. … Racism — we are not cured of it.” Obama invited the race-hustling Al Sharpton to the White House over 70 times.

The Crime Wave Isn’t Over

5th January 2024

John Hinderaker at Power Line.

Compton, California, is, to my knowledge, a Hellhole. Some years ago I tried a case in Los Angeles. At that time, local lawyers were buzzing about an incident in which a lawyer who was appearing in court in Compton walked down a stairwell in the courthouse, where he was confronted by a gang of “youths” who, for no reason, beat him to within an inch of his life. The lawyer suffered severe brain damage from which he was not expected to recover.

So nothing that happens in Compton surprises me. They can’t even secure their own courthouse, so it is no surprise that bakeries are vulnerable. On Tuesday, a large number of “youths” planned an after-hours attack on Ruben’s Mexican bakery. They drove a vehicle through a wall to create an opening, then swarmed the store and stole whatever they could.

Migrants Bused to New Jersey Take Trains to NYC

1st January 2024

Newsmax.

Officials attempting to transport migrants from the southern border to New York City appear to have found a workaround to an executive order aimed at limiting the number of asylum seekers in the Big Apple.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday issued an executive order placing limits for on how migrants arrive in the city, The New York Times reported. It was an attempt to push back against Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s efforts to send asylum seekers to the city.

However, Politico reported Sunday that buses of migrants had arrived at various New Jersey train stations. The migrants then took trains to the New York City, Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy’s office said.

Adams’ executive order stipulated fines, jail time, and the possible impounding of buses. It did not address travel via trains.

Another Plane of Migrants Arrives in Chicago Area as Mayor Brandon Johnson Continues Call For Federal Help

1st January 2024

Chicago Sun-Times.

Hours after a plane from Texas carrying 355 migrants arrived early Sunday morning in Rockford, Mayor Brandon Johnson repeated his plea for more federal support to address the ongoing migrant crisis.

The plane landed about 1 a.m. at Chicago Rockford International Airport, then the migrants onboard were immediately put on buses headed for Chicago, escorted by Winnebago County sheriff’s deputies, the city of Rockford said on Facebook.

They were taken to Chicago’s “landing zone,” a Facebook post said, but Rockford officials did not share an exact address. A city spokesperson declined to answer specific questions about the flight, including who chartered it and where in Texas it originated.

In a statement, the city of Chicago said a private Boeing 777 from San Antonio, coordinated by Eastern Airlines, landed in Rockford carrying 350 people seeking asylum.

After landing, the passengers were put on eight buses chartered by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, according to a city of Chicago spokesperson. The buses dropped the migrants in the surrounding suburbs, and they are now making their way to Chicago via trains and other means, the spokesperson said.

Rockford and Winnebago County officials learned Saturday the plane was headed to the city. The Facebook post said the plane was landing in Rockford because of Chicago’s new ordinance cracking down on buses bringing migrants to the city.

Gotta love Greg Abbott.

History You Probably Never Knew

30th December 2023

The Other McCain.

Far be it from me to waste my time arguing with fools, a bad habit that anyone would be well advised to avoid, but the reality of the modern information system is such that it is dangerous to let folly go unrebuked. When people publish inflammatory and insulting claims, the absence of immediate pushback will lead many observers to think that the claim made is valid, and thus do bad ideas and harmful myths become commonplace. Are black people collectively victims of “inhumanity visited” upon them by white Americans collectively?

This is the implied meaning of Hannah-Jones’s rhetoric, seeking to make personal responsibility disappear by the use of racial collectivism to point the accusing finger at white people. The circumstances of history cannot be changed retroactively, and this guilt-tripping attitude — seeking to impugn white people based on what happened centuries before they were even born — also has the rhetorical effect of implying that no black person can expect success or happiness in America because white people are always inflicting “inhumanity” upon them.

Historically, people who incite this Us-vs.-Them way of thinking have not been viewed as philanthropic humanitarians. Unless you consider Pol Pot to be an advocate for “social justice,” you’d best avoid the kind of blame-game rhetoric that is the stock-in-trade of Nikole Hannah-Jones.

Rooting around in remote history in search of a pretext to hate other people is not just foolish, but wicked. It is un-Christian, to say the very least, and as the descendant of Confederate soldiers — including one who was captured at Gettysburg and spent two years as a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware — I know the importance of letting the past be the past. We should study history with an eye toward finding examples that can inspire us, as individuals, to strive for the best in ourselves and, as citizens, to benefit from what history can teach us about policy.

The Democratic mayors of three sanctuary cities, Chicago, New York City, and Denver, warned their metro areas are quickly approaching a breaking point due to the ongoing surge of illegals bussed up from the southern border this year.

“We cannot allow buses with people needing our help to arrive without warning at any hour of day and night,” NYC Mayor Adams said during a virtual news conference with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.

Adams warned: “For many months, we were able to keep the visualization of this crisis from hitting our streets, but we have reached a breaking point.”

“We are no longer able to do that because of the volume and numbers,” he added.

Cry Victim: Chicago Mayor Rages Over Buses of Immigrants From Texas

20th December 2023

Leftists hate being exposed as hypocrites. Much of their social influence depends on two false notions – That they are rebels against the establishment and that they are the victims of oppression. In reality, the political left is the favored movement of the establishment and they are only ever victims of their own incompetence, lust for power and delusions of grandeur. The humanitarian costume they wear is easy to tear away – All you have to do is demand they follow through on their “principles” instead of only serving their own interests.

This is how Texas Governor Greg Abbot (among others) has taken the legs out from under pro-sanctuary Democrats – By giving them exactly what they claimed they wanted.

Tens of thousands of illegal migrants have now been bused to multiple sanctuary cities including Chicago, New York And Washington D.C. And needless to say, the progressives in these places are not happy. Texas towns deal with millions of illegals every year due to the Biden Administration’s asylum policies and open border policies. The issue is growing more out of control with each passing month and 2023 is set to become the worst year ever for migrant crossings. Yet, a handful of the same migrants are now crippling the welfare apparatus of multiple blue cities.

The far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is furious in the face of the overwhelming economic strain created by the influx of migrants. The same mayor proudly declared Chicago a sanctuary city in May of this year.

‘The Usual Suspects’: Detroit Police Make Arrest in Murder of Synagogue Leader

14th December 2023

Read it.

Because she was murdered just two weeks after the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, many at the time were concerned that Woll’s murder was a “hate crime,” even though police immediately emphasized that nothing was known about the motive, and then later ruled out anti-Semitism as a motive. My initial reaction: “However, knowing what we know about Detroit, I’m willing to hazard a tentative guess that the killer was probably not a Trump supporter.” This was a simple deduction. Detroit is a crime-ridden pesthole and, as in most such cities, Biden voters comprise the vast majority of the population. So if police did not immediately suspect Woll’s murder to be motivated by anti-Semitism — if there were no anti-Jewish slurs spray-painted at the scene, etc. — a simple process of elimination would lead one to guess that her killer was an ordinary local criminal.

“I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow,” DosSantos wrote.
The white councilors were not supposed to receive an invite.

UPDATE: Boston Mayor Defends Party for ‘Electeds of Color’ Only

Harvard President Claudine Gay has now been caught plagiarizing five academic papers – nearly half of her entire scholarly output – something which would result in the according to journalist Christopher Rufo.

One of the academics who was plagiarized, former professor Carol Swain, is pissed after Harvard gave Gay a pass on what would have resulted in severe punishment and/or expulsion for anyone else, as Townhall reports.

“I rarely get angry, but I am angry,” she wrote on X. “[R]ight now about the racial double standards that are TEMPORARILY giving #ClaudineGay an opportunity to resign. White progressives created her and white progressives are protecting her. The rest of us have had to work our rear ends off to achieve success. Some get it handed to them.”

A former Facebook diversity program manager pleaded guilty to scamming the social media giant out of more than $4 million through a scheme in which she faked business deals in exchange for kickbacks, the Justice Department said.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, who served as lead strategist and global head of employee resource groups and diversity engagement at Facebook, used the stolen funds to live an extravagant lifestyle that spanned from California to Georgia, prosecutors said.

From approximately January 2017 to September 2021, Furlow-Smiles led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations, and engagement programs,” according to the DOJ.

She is, of course, a Woman of Color.

Black Privilege at Harvard

13th December 2023

Read it.

Harvard President Claudine Gay has been in the news lately because of her evident coddling of radical student antisemites on her campus. This week, more evidence of her lack of fit for the position she holds came in the form of evidence that she plagiarized her academic work.

Though the plagiarism story just broke, there has apparently been an investigation underway at Harvard since October on this matter. So Harvard was able to do what they had surely always planned to do—dismiss the claims as nothing and reaffirm their confidence in Gay as their president.

I had the chance to look at some of the evidence that was presented to Harvard. It shows that Gay did violate Harvard’s own rules for its students on plagiarism, multiple times, in multiple publications over the course of her career.

The materials I saw detailed 30 different examples of plagiarism in Gay’s work, ranging from relatively small chunks of text to sentences and significant parts of paragraphs.
