Combating imaginary racism with actual racism??


Recommended Posts

You go Todd. I'm gonna start rooting for him as soon as he dumps Tommy.

 

Has anyone called him an *Uncle Tom yet?

 

* I read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" last month to see what it was all about since I see that term tossed around.  Turns out Uncle Tom, at least in the book, was pretty much the opposite of how the term is used now.

SHAMELESS INSTITUTIONAL RACISM ON DISPLAY: 

 

Catholic university hosts ‘White Accountability Group.’

 

My question is always who’s entitled to demand this ‘accountability’ from me? And the answer is: No one,

 

and especially not university commies, who have plenty of things to be accountable for on their own.

MSNBC Host Claims Minority Republican Candidates Are Not ‘Voices Of Color’

 

DCNF-Tiffany-Cross-GOP-Minorities-Featur

 

 

MSNBC host Tiffany Cross attacked minority Republican candidates Saturday morning, claiming they were “not voices of color.”

 

“Despite the fact the GOP’s racist rhetoric has not slowed at all, they have begun hyping up, get this, their ‘diverse’ candidates,” Cross said while making air quotes with her hands.

 

“According to numbers provided by the National Republican Congressional Committee, 80 Republican incumbents or candidates on the ballot next month are women, 33 and Latino, 28 are black, 13 are Asian and three are native Americans.”

 

“But faces of color do not always equate to voices of color,” Cross continued. “As our own NBC’s Scott Wong points out in his good reporting, the leadership will almost be entirely composed of white men.

 

Really, this sounds more like the political equivalent of ‘some of my best friends are black.’”

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE SOME RACISM?

 

The Left hungers for racism–of the approved sort–but it is hard to find. Trevor Noah, the host of the Daily Show, went looking for racism in the ascension of Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Noah purported to see a “backlash” against Sunak, for which there is zero evidence. To be fair, though, when has a total lack of evidence ever stopped a liberal comedian–isn’t the Daily Show supposed to be comedy?–or newsman?

 

Noah’s racism-hunting safari did not go over well in Great Britain. The London Times reports:

 

Rishi Sunak has insisted Britain is not a racist country after a US talk show host claimed there had been a backlash over the country’s first prime minister of colour.

Trevor Noah, 38, who presents The Daily Show, caused anger after a segment from the programme was uploaded to Twitter titled “Unpacking the Backlash to Rishi Sunak”.

 

In the two-minute 52 second clip, viewed more than one million times, Noah insisted there were “people saying that Indians are going to take over Great Britain” in response to Sunak becoming PM.

 

Has anyone said any such thing? No.

 

[H]is comments were questioned by Britons including the former health secretary Sajid Javid, while Sir Trevor Phillips, ex-head of the Commission for Racial Equality, called them “completely wrong”.

 

That is putting it politely.

 

Phillips said: “This is basically smugness on steroids. He’s making his audience feel comfortable and superior about a country they know absolutely nothing about.

“This is an audience that likes to think that it – and only it – understands racism and that it is an enlightened elite that can look down on everybody else. That’s who he is playing to.”

 

“Smugness on steroids” describes American liberalism very well. And ignorance of other countries is more or less universal on the American Left.

 

Noah claimed that there was a racist backlash against Sunak. But there wasn’t:

 

He said: “Watching the story of Rishi Sunak becoming England’s first prime minister of colour, of Indian descent, of all these things and then seeing the backlash is one of the more telling things about how people view the role that they or their people have played in history.

 

“And what I mean by that is this, you hear a lot of the people saying: ‘Oh, they’re taking over, now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain and what’s next?’”

A lot of people? Name one.

 

Noah failed to mention any examples of a race backlash in Britain, instead namechecking the right-wing Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

He said: “You see people like Tucker Carlson all the time saying ‘You know what they’re trying to do? They won’t stop until black people and women are in positions of power’ … so what?”

 

Of course, Carlson never said any such thing. How pathetic are American liberals like Trevor Noah?

Overdue.

 

Supreme Court leans toward ending affirmative action in college admissions

NBC News, by Lawrence Hurley

 

Washington - Conservative Supreme Court justices on Monday indicated they are willing to end the explicit consideration of race in college admissions as they weighed cases challenging affirmative action policies at the University of North Carolina and Harvard University. Members of the court's conservative majority questioned the legal rationale for allowing the practice and probed to what extent universities could enact new "race neutral" admissions policies aimed at improving racial diversity. Some justices, however, indicated they would be willing to allow applicants to discuss their racial identity in some form as part of essays touching upon their experiences, such as examples of overcoming discrimination

IT’S HARD TO THINK OF A POLICY THAT HAS HAD SUCH STAYING POWER DESPITE BEING SO UNPOPULAR:

 

David Lat: Affirmative Action Is Going Down—And It’s A Good Thing Too.

 

 

Sorry, Harvard, but 'visual diversity'—having a campus that looks like a Benetton ad—isn't a compelling state interest.
