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.

American Bar Association Drops LSAT for Law School Applications - Any Guesses Why?

 

I know — it reads like a satirical headline from The Babylon Bee, right?

 

The American Bar Association (ABA), the national voice of the legal profession, which prides itself on “serving the public and the profession by promoting justice, professional excellence, and respect for the law,” will no longer require the administering of the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) for law school applications, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. I can solve this oxymoronic problem in six words:

 

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

 

According to the WSJ, the ABA’s accrediting council, comprised of lawyers, law professors, and administrators voted 15-1 to drop the requirement that law school applicants take — and pass — the LSAT or any other “valid and reliable admission test,” amid a debate about whether the tests — wait for it — help or hurt diversity in admissions.

 

Sounds like a great idea, right? Next, let’s drop the minimum requirements for physics and other science majors — mathematics, as well. I’m sure the left can ring up the ChiComs and they’ll gladly climb aboard, too. I mean, why wouldn’t they? No, wait.

 

Individual law schools are still free to require the LSAT or any reliable admission test, according to the ABA. The policy change will take effect beginning for students applying in fall 2025.

HOW DARE THEY REALISTICALLY REPRESENT BLACKS AS COMPLEX THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS?  

 

Tim Burton’s ‘Wednesday’ called ‘racist’ for casting black actors as bullies.

A nine-member school board in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania voted for a new president of the board last week. Two of the nine were running to be the new president. One was a “cis, white male” and the other a female. One board member gave her reason for voting for the female candidate instead of the male candidate – it would “send the wrong message to our community.” She said the quiet part out loud.

 

I find it disgusting that we have come to this place in our society. A person is chosen for their gender, or their skin color instead of basic qualifications. This is blatant discrimination and it’s got to stop. Is this what the Civil Rights movement was about – punish a person for his skin color or his sexuality if the person isn’t the best show of diversity? What happened to Martin Luther King’s words about judging someone for the content of his character, not the color of his skin?

 

In this case I think the biggest disqualifying maker for Gregory D’Elia wasn’t his skin color or sexuality but his gender. He was the only cis, white male on the board. Ironically his presence was the very definition of diversity on the board. The others, apparently, are either female or perhaps the male seen in the video is not cisgender.

Oberlin Defamed A Bakery Rather Than Hold A Shoplifter Accountable. It’s Now $36 Million Poorer.

 

The media elite and left-wing colleges desperately wanted to make the Gibson’s Brothers Inc. v. Oberlin Oberlin College case about “academic freedom.”  Anybody who actually read the facts (brought to many of us through the incomparable work of Legal Insurrection‘s William Jacobson) knew that was utter horseshit.

 

Oberlin’s defenders tried — through the pages of The New York Times and other usual suspects — that the college was unfairly being punished for students’ speech. But those weren’t the facts: A jury learned that Oberlin administrators helped the defamatory fliers to be made with Oberlin-owned equipment; Oberlin staff participated in handing out the flyers; and worse yet, Oberlin officials attempted to prevent a local news photographer from recording the scene. The speech at issue was Oberlin’s as much as the students’.

 

Frederick Hess, American Enterprise Institute’s director of education policy studies revisited the case in Forbes a few days ago, and the headline really says it all: “Oberlin Defamed A Bakery Rather Than Hold A Shoplifter Accountable. It’s Now $36 Million Poorer.”

 

Hess paints the background first:

“When the incident first occurred, because the shoplifters were black, the Oberlin community quickly accused Gibson’s of racism and discrimination in a series of high-profile attacks. Gibson’s and the college had a longstanding relationship, students regularly frequented the bakery, and there had been no prior suggestion that the owners or employees were racist. All of that context was conveniently ignored.”

 

And why did Oberlin avoid using common sense? Hess explains quite simply:

 

“Why did Oberlin defame a longtime partner rather than simply confront three students who’d engaged in misconduct? One former administrator wondered if Oberlin was simply fearful of angering students, musing, “A freshman from an East Coast big city might come to Oberlin and find there is little for a social justice warrior to do in a small town like this, so they get frustrated and make issues like this shoplifting thing bigger than it should be, and the school follows along.”

 

Truly, the inmates are running the asylum. Having followed the case closely, one legal sidenote of interest continues to bug me.  Laughably, in motion practice, Oberlin’s defense lawyers tried to argue that being called a racist was not defamatory. This ought to blow any wokist’s mind. The president of the college even admitted under oath that “being called a racist was possibly the worst thing you can say about someone.” Odder yet, I can’t find any use by the defense of Ohio’s “innocent construction” rule. Ohio is one of the few states with a rule in civil law that if a statement can be interpreted in an innocuous way, then that is the meaning which must be ascribed to it. (I litigated the same issue with success in the First Circuit where a libel plaintiff insisted that calling his store “trashy” meant it was literally strewn with garbage. The court did not buy it).

 

Hess ends his Op/Ed with a cautionary note every educator ought to read:

 

“Oberlin’s grown-ups had an obligation to teach students there are consequences for misconduct and to help ensure that justice was done. Instead, they found it more expedient to defame a community business and ravage the owners’ lives. Well, Oberlin is finally paying for that mistake. Campus officials, there and elsewhere, should take note.”

Racism raises Alzheimer’s risk for non-white Americans, HHS says

by Peter Kasperowicz

 

“Entrenched systemic racism” is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in non-white Americans, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) claimed in its 2022 update on how to fight the disease. The HHS’ “National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease” said black, Hispanic and low-income populations are more likely to face health-related risk factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s and said this disparity is due to “structural inequities” that are the result of racism.

False.

What’s fascinating is how even with the clear and present danger of this lurking health problem in their advanced years half of the Hispanic world appears to be willing to pay smugglers, stand in the freezing cold desert, and then walk through a moving river just for the chance to experience all of this systemic racism for themselves.

Using the term "field" is racist or something

 

“Field.”

 

The word “field” must be banned, lest black people be triggered. I have yet to meet a black person triggered by the word, but undoubtedly some social worker will find one after a decade of searching.

 

Is there some sort of competition of which I am not aware? Find the racism inherent in word X? Or is this just garden-variety idiocy, of which we find an infinite variety in academia?

Speaking of "anti-Asian"

 

 

 

WHY DO LEFTIST EDUCRATS HATE ASIANS SO MUCH? 

 

17 Northern Virginia Schools Withheld Merit Awards From Mostly Asian Students As Gov Calls For Legislation. 

 

“About 75% of semifinalists for the National Merit award that were not notified were Asian students, the Fairfax County Times reported.”

 

UPDATE: From the comments:

 

“Are we supposed to believe that 17 schools decided upon this course of action independently?

 

It was obviously coordinated from a central entity. What is that central entity?”

A "white Asian" no doubt.  Or it's "the Asian face of white nationalism."
