Race Issues

Social justice firebrand Megan Rapinoe wasn't even on the U.S. national women's soccer team's active roster, but the squad was more radical than ever before Friday's 2-0 friendly match win over The Netherlands. Most team members knelt for the national anthem and they spread the Black Lives Matter "gospel" while insisting their activism was not political.

On Saturday morning’s Velshi, MSNBC host Ali Velshi insisted that Biden’s administration needs an "all-of-government" solution not just to address COVID and climate, but to address "social inequities." Hannah-Jones spouted woke propaganda by declaring that “in that every aspect of our society we have inequality, racial inequality, gender inequality.”

On Tuesday, the historical revisionists at MSNBC were hard at work trying to credit former New York City Mayor David Dinkins with the drop in crime that happened under his successor, Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Like so much of television this season, CBS's S.W.A.T. jumped on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon for its season premiere two weeks ago. This week's episode, "Memento Mori," on November 25, featured another BLM storyline, with a discussion of the movement to defund the police.

The Black Lives Matter agenda must be intense if the 1980s aren’t safe anymore. In yet another example of pandering to the woke crowd, the ABC comedy The Goldbergs reminded its audience that “racism's everywhere.” BLM must be determined to leave no show untouched by its propaganda.

Some of the confusion in thinking about matters of race stems from the ambiguity in the terms that we use. I am going to take a stab at suggesting operational definitions for a couple terms in our discussion of race. Good analytical thinking requires that we do not confuse one behavioral phenomenon with another.

Mike Freeman's toxic new book on sports and social justice fanaticism starts out with plenty of Kaepernick worship and Trump hatred in the preface and introduction. Considering the source, it's no wonder because Freeman has was recently named the Sports, Race and Inequality Editor at USA Today.

In the aftermath of black conservative former NFL player Burgess Owens getting elected to Congress, CNN host Erin Burnett was apparently so alarmed by his criticisms of the far-left Black Lives Matter movement that she gave Democratic Congressman Jim Clyburn an unchallenged forum to accuse the Utah Republican of historical ignorance.

Once again, we’re back to discussing everyone’s least favorite TV topic: racial justice. This time, Amazon Prime offers its take on the subject through Steve McQueen's (12 Years a Slave) anthology series Small Axe. Although the first episode in the anthology, Mangrove, is based on a real event in 1970 in London, it didn’t take long for people to pretend it relates to…

When it comes to attempting to explain away the unexplainable, nothing's more hackneyed than claiming the offensive statement was "taken out of context." To be sure, Jason Johnson trotted out that excuse while guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy Sunday morning. But give Eddie Glaude credit. The frequent MSNBC guest came up with a somewhat more original excuse. Critics of Wright's damnation…

For purposes of encouraging people not to congregate for Thanksgiving, MSNBC trashes the holiday. AM Joy guest host Jason Johnson says, "I know in my family, I know several people who call it "Colonizer Christmas," because they don't really like the idea of what Thanksgiving represents." And MSNBC contributor and New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb says that "anthropological research suggests" that…

Do they want cops dead? It might sound like a hyperbolic question but when there’s a video of a car accelerating towards sheriff’s deputies and NBC Nightly News was upset they killed the driver behind the wheel, it becomes a valid question. Especially when they’re using the incident to push a race-baiting agenda and trying to defund the police.

Resentment is a powerful emotion. It can choke off reason and poison even moments of triumph. And it plays hell with self-awareness -- just look at the November 18th Washington Post “perspective” piece (oh the irony) by Robin Givhan.

Anything and everything can be said on paper, and now, on air, as an exclusive Univision interview with Barack Obama to promote his latest book – A Promised Land - proves. From avowing that he couldn’t do anything about immigration and DACA because he “inherited ICE and Border Patrols and the various laws that were already in place”-, to openly admitting his plans to be the…
