Racism

Perhaps you’ve seen it. (He says with tongue in cheek.)

Nikole Hannah-Jones joined MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on his Saturday show to discuss the criticism and banning of The 1619 Project. Naturally, Hannah-Jones simply dismissed “much of the criticism” as “not legitimate” as she continued to claim all she wants to do is teach the full story of American history.

We’ve come a long way from the days of classic sitcoms where conundrums consisted of Lucy drinking too much Vitameatavegamin in I Love Lucy or Peter being afraid to defend his little sister Cindy from a bully on The Brady Bunch.

On Wednesday's Deadline: White House show, MSNBC political analyst Jason Johnson presented his latest venom toward Republicans as he declared that "lots of people" are "perfectly happy with Black people being murdered on a regular basis."

It became national, indeed, international news that five Memphis police officers grabbed, punched, beat, pepper-sprayed and stun-gunned a black suspect, named Tyre Nichols, who later died at the hospital. A picture of him in his hospital bed showing his swollen, battered and bloodied face went viral on social media.

The Thursday edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC was in full spin mode as Republicans prepared to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee for her history of anti-Semitic statements, but according to Mitchell it was simply “criticism of Israel.” Meanwhile, Washington correspondent Yamiche Alcindor alleged that Republican hypocrisy is the real story.

CNN Tonight host Laura Coates had a peculiar standard for what constitutes expertise as she welcomed African-American Studies Prof. Robert Patterson to the program to allege that “we know that white supremacy is a central part of American education,” which explains Florida’s opposition to the original AP course of the same subject.

Voice of America correspondent Anita Powell provided another example Wednesday of how, using our hard-earned tax dollars, government-run media results in a product heavily tilted to the left. During the White House press briefing, Powell used her time to inform Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that “people both inside the United States and outside are...asking, is the United States a racist…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel kicked off their respective Wednesday shows by welcoming Black History Month while condemning alleged GOP attacks on the subject of black history.

On Morning Joe, a white privilege virtue-signaling Joe Scarborough says that as a 29-year-old, middle-class white man, police wouldn't have beaten him like they beat Tyre Nichols, "because they knew that if they did, if they beat the hell out of a 29-year-old, middle-class white guy, that hell would rain down from above." Scarborough fails to mention that hell did immediately rain down on the…

Leave it to the vile hosts of ABC’s The View to kick off Black History Month by playing around in a big steaming pile of racism. Between racist co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin and guest Eboni K. Williams, the hate was firing on all cylinders as they called Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis not just racist but “anti-black,” and whining that a white Memphis officer and…

CNN Newsroom host Bianna Golodryga invited former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on to the Thursday program to discuss the latest developments surrounding the College Board and AP African-American Studies. If the point was to educate the audience, then Duncan failed as he claimed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has “a white nationalist agenda” and that “something insidious is happening…

This week, tape emerged from Memphis, Tennessee of five black police officers engaging in the beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old black man. Nichols was pulled over for reckless driving according to the officers; they ordered him to get on the ground and to give them his hands; he did not comply and instead began to run. When the officers caught up with him, they pummeled him, complete with…

CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert was not thrilled with Rep. Jim Jordan’s weekend comments that no law or amount of training would have prevented the death of Tyre Nichols. Colbert declared that Jordan was so close to getting it, but because he doesn’t want to appear woke it leads him to wonder “what point do you stop being a witness and start being evil?”
