Back when Black Lives Matter and its adjunct cause—Defund the Police—got underway following the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2015 (justified, according to Obama’s Department of Justice review of the incident), critics such as Heather Mac Donald, Charles Murray, and others predicted that blacks would become the principal victims of this movement. Of course they were right, but the response was always, “Shut up, racist!” You’re not allowed to say this.
Yesterday the Oakland, CA, chapter of the NAACP released a public letter whose contents are a complete vindication of critics such as Mac Donald. It calls for declaring a “state of emergency” over rising crime, and advocates for hiring more police urgently. The letter commits one heresy after another against the progressive and Critical Race Theory catechism.

makeup in Renaissance theater, Cosmetics in Shakespearean and Renaissance Drama, was published in 2006. Its enduring popularity is not so much a testament to her scholarly insights on powdered hogs’ bones mixed with poppy oil — the old stage recipe for pale skin — or Shakespeare’s sardonic references to the kind of beauty “purchased by the weight” in The Merchant of Venice, as to Karim-Cooper’s celebrity: for more than a decade she’s been one of the leading racializers of Shakespeare’s work.
Perhaps the key moment in her rise to fame was her 2018 curation of the Globe Theatre’s first “Shakespeare and Race Festival,” now held annually. Those who are scratching their heads trying to think where, besides Othello, or perhaps Shylock, you can find “race” in Shakespeare, should hie them to the postmodern cosmetic counter. Race is not where we find it — it is where we put it. And Karim-Cooper puts it everywhere.

It pays to be a minority, especially a Native American. That is the only possible explanation why so many people, especially academics, adopt fake Indian identities. There is even a word for it: Pretendian. And it seems as though the more militant the academic, the more likely he actually isn’t Native at all.

Italian authorities have placed the famous migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking under “indefinite” detention because of safety concerns found during an inspection in the port of Civitavecchia, according to a statement published by SOS Méditerranée, the NGO that owns the vessel. The news appeared on Thursday, July 13th—the same day the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for the Commission to force Mediterranean countries to open their ports to NGOs.
According to the statement, the Ocean Viking docked at the port on July 11th, after picking up 57 migrants near the Libyan coasts four days prior. After migrants disembarked, the local authorities conducted a seven-hour inspection of the ship, finding several “technical and administrative deficiencies,” including one that requires further investigation to determine the vessel’s seaworthiness under international safety standards.
To the NGO, the detention appears to be politically motivated, because the problem they found—the lack of qualified personnel to deploy lifeboats—was not flagged in any prior inspections. The organization said it was working on resuming its rescue operations on the sea as soon as possible and condemned any attempt to hinder the work of migrant-saving NGOs.
The NGO ‘Migrant Rescue” Scam:
- Migrants, often in co-ordination with ‘migrant rescue’ NGOs, get into something that will float and paddle out beyond the territorial waters.
- NGO ‘migrant rescue ship’ swoops in and ‘rescues’ them.
- Rather than take them back to where they came from (often in sight), the NGO ship takes them to a European port, where under EU policy they are given ‘asylum’ as ‘refugees’.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
This is why the European population is increasingly Muslim and non-European.

One of the first things my fiancé and I did after purchasing our first home was install a security system. This included a Ring-style doorbell camera that alerts us when people approach our front door and automatically starts recording video and audio. The resulting clips are saved in a mobile app and can be exported with ease.
Imagine my surprise when I learned this week that wanting to monitor my home is racist!
I had a Ring but changed to another brand because Ring proved to be undependable and easily hacked. But a security system is a good idea … even though waaaaaaacist.

Nowadays, when White Liberal guilt has gone from being an annoying nervous tic to being a full-blown mass psychosis, you don’t get to celebrate, e.g., Independence Day without legions of prune-faced schoolmarms stepping up to tell us our country is rooted in oppression and cruelty, White Supremacy and slavery, duh duh duh duh duh

Steve notes that the liberal media are trying to make some kind of hero out of new Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson. Good luck with that: based on what we have seen so far, I would assess her as incompetent.
Her dissent in the UNC race discrimination case was awful. It was one long political screed, devoid of legal argument and oblivious to the standards (the 14th Amendment and Title VI) that she was supposed to be applying. Also, she can’t deal honestly or competently with data.

Minnesota’s Department of Human Rights released a statement on the Supreme Court’s 303 Creative decision, which I wrote about here. First the statement, then some comments on it:
So, what exactly has the Supreme Court done that the State of Minnesota think is a blow to gay people’s civil rights? If a gay couple is getting married and they go to a web designer to set up a page to celebrate their romance, there is a possibility the web designer might say, “Sorry, I don’t do gay weddings.” The horror!
The real horror, I suppose, is having to acknowledge that some people are still not in favor of gay marriage. Just a few years ago, a large majority of Americans were opposed to gay marriage. Barack Obama was opposed to gay marriage. Remember? Gay marriage won the day, and liberals like those who run the Human Rights Department now insist that the verdict be deemed unanimous. But it isn’t.

Collectif Némésis is an identitarian feminist organization based in Switzerland and France. Its principal focus is the danger posed by third-world migrants to native white women, which is why it has so often run afoul of mainstream feminist groups.
