Vile Reid Uses MLK Day to Falsely Smear Reagan and GOP as Racists

Read it.

In Britain and much of the Western world the vast majority of people are not racist. This will include people who have told, or laughed at, jokes based on race. These same people will have never done anything to harm another race, and would be revolted to see racial abuse in front of them, instinctively siding with the victim. This has in fact been true in Britain for many generations.

It is a historical fact that US servicemen during WWII were shocked by the British disregard for race and willingness to mingle freely with black or other non-white soldiers. It is also a historical fact that the Empire which is now routinely characterised as exclusively evil and racist was enthusiastically supported, entirely willingly, by generations of non-white and non-British people, so much so that many of them fought and died for it.

Three Cherokee tribes are pushing aggressively for the U.S. government to make good on a nearly 200-year-old promise to award them a sitting delegate in the House of Representatives.

But, sensing that lawmakers may finally act amid the Biden administration’s historic advances in Native American causes, they’re also quietly competing against each other for the largely ceremonial seat. And so they have done what those in search of Washington influence often do: hired a bevy of consultants, lawyers and K Street types to push their cause.

The plan was unveiled Tuesday by Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, and proposes raising legal retirement age from 62 to 64 by 2030.

Christmas and New Year’s have now come and gone, and doubtless, like most families, you spent much of your time over the holidays fighting with one another over age-old, tried-and-tested board games like Snakes & Ladders, Ludo, or Risk. But things could have been far worse. Had you been unlucky enough to receive one of the new wave of woke, “racially aware,” identity-politics-based board games that are increasingly appearing on the market, then far from a simple inter-sibling quarrel over whether or not your big sister really threw a six, a full-blown race war might well have broken out within the comfort of your own living room.

In the eyes of the modern Left, suffering is a virtue. For them, the greatest thing a human being can achieve is to be a victim.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that opportunistic leftists, hoping to achieve clout in their social circles doling out cachet to the downtrodden, have begun to embellish or outright lie about their victimhood status to gain attention and perks.

Take the story of Kay LeClaire, a white woman who was recently exposed as faking Native American ancestry in Madison, Wisconsin.

LeClaire claimed a plethora of tribal identities alongside Cuban and Jewish roots, just to fill those last few spaces on the oppression bingo card. Oh, and she also identifies as nonbinary, because no modern leftist identity is complete without a silly new gender.

On September 14, the residents of Martha’s Vineyard—home to former president Barack Obama’s $18 million waterfront mansion—were forced to confront an illegal immigration crisis of a magnitude most border towns experience on an hourly basis. Approximately 50 illegal aliens arrived on the island at the behest of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), who was simply trying to help them pursue the American Dream in one of the country’s wealthiest enclaves.

The residents responded with Trumpian aplomb, calling in the National Guard to prevent the illegals from looting celebrity beach houses and defecating in their heated pools. They enlisted media allies to denounce DeSantis as “inhumane.” We’re inclined to agree. One of the primary benefits of being rich enough to own property on Martha’s Vineyard is never having to interact with a poor person who isn’t on staff. Forcing the Obamas and other left-wing oligarchs to coexist with third-world peasants is an affront to humanity.

The absurdity of the concept of reparations for slavery, an institution that ended several generations ago, is beyond mind-boggling.  But there’s a blatantly cynical reason for the sudden lurch in that direction: formerly reliable Black voters are now slipping away from the Democrats.  This also explains Biden’s recently expressed profuse generosity towards the nations of sub-Saharan Africa.

What is also painfully obvious is the lame, demagogic pandering that is the Democrats’ knee-jerk response, especially to a defecting constituency: just throw money at them and that’ll keep ‘em on the reservation.  Never mind the exposure to ridicule attached to redistributing money from people who never owned slaves to people who never were slaves, since the despicable practice was abolished over 150 years ago.

Ann Coulter does a beat-down.

For at least a half-century now, every special pleader in America has made the following argument: Yeah, but what if we were black?

This is supposed to be rhetorical kryptonite, capable of anathematizing “discrimination” against any group: atheists, women, gays, immigrants, illegal immigrants, the disabled, Muslims — basically anyone except a fully abled, cis-gendered, white male born in this country.

Oh my gosh! You’re right — we DO have to let girls try out for the Green Bay Packers!

OK, fine, we’ll hire more blind lifeguards.
