Race Issues

From the title alone, it was easy to guess that Hulu’s Woke would be a terrible, liberal mess. After slumming through all eight episodes, it’s safe to say it’s far worse than that. This series is a hateful, miserable piece of propaganda that barely rises to the level of “comedy.”

If time was measured in news cycles, it has been roughly 17.765329 years since professional football has graced our screens. But, defying all of the odds, and media narratives, the NFL season returned for its first game of the season Thursday night and the game itself was surprisingly high quality. That was not what caught the eyes of most people who tuned in, however. Instead, the pregame “…

An athlete taking a knee used to be a bold move, but that was 2016. Now as pro sports are beating fans over the head with the "Black Lives Matter" message, kneeling doesn't go far enough, wrote Sean Gregory in a Time magazine article defending social justice activism in sports. The games are no longer "some pleasurable distraction in tough times" and it’s no longer acceptable to "use Black…

In matters of race and other social phenomena, there is a tendency to believe that what is seen today has always been. For black people, the socioeconomic progress achieved during my lifetime, which started in 1936, exceeded anyone's wildest dreams. In 1936, most black people lived in gross material poverty and racial discrimination. Such poverty and discrimination is all but nonexistent today…

Look, another institution is hollowing itself out to comply with the demands, real or anticipated, of social justice drones. In this case, it’s a Hollywood institution, so conservatives will probably just shrug. But there are some media personalities who are not OK with it.   

Taking a page out of today’s headlines, the CW’s Coroner aired an episode on September 9 titled “Confetti Heart” that focused on a white cop shooting and killing an unarmed black man. To hear the protesters in the Black Lives Matter movement, this sort of thing happens every day in America. This show, however, is set in Canada so at least the viewer is spared that line of propaganda.

Here we go again. The Philadelphia Eagles signed a 41-year-old player to come out of retirement and play on their practice squad and Deadspin's Rob Parker is doing the "What about Kaepernick?" howl. Kaep is 10 times better than Josh McCown and he should have gotten the job as Eagles emergency quarterback, Parker moans.

In Hollywood’s continuing attempt to eat itself through wokeness, the Academy has finally released a new inclusion initiative needed to qualify for the Oscars. If you’ve been thinking movies have become unwatchable now, just wait until they meet Academy standards.

The View co-hosts on Wednesday’s show tried to downplay the fact that President Trump may win the swing state of Florida, because of polls showing Biden is underperforming with Latinos. Co-host Sunny Hostin dismissed the importance of this finding to instead mock black Trump supporters.

Whoopi Goldberg began by asking the panel about the tight race. Co-host Meghan McCain…

Racist police harassing, attacking and almost killing innocent young men? Armed officers instigating peaceful protesters until it turns into a riot? A world so systematically racist that nobody from one particular race can ever rise up the social stratum? 

It was a disgusting scene during the Tuesday handoff between CNN hosts Chris Cuomo (PrimeTime) and Don Lemon (CNN Tonight), as the two of them exposed the hate in the hearts. As both of them insisted America was a systemically racist place, Lemon equated racism to addiction and suggested that poor white people were “doing it wrong” by not taking “advantage” of their “privilege” in “this…

The View returned Tuesday for its 24th season and predictably, they had a lot to blame President Trump for. The hosts kicked off the show talking about whether or not the president’s “law and order” message would help him win in November. Co-host Sunny Hostin ranted the violence on the streets was caused by Trump supporters because he was “encouraging” violence. Clinging to the Kenosha…

Mark off one more sport exploited by Black Lives Matter protesters: horse racing. Just like basketball, baseball, football and soccer, the Kentucky Derby had to be overshadowed by social justice protests. Louisville is where Breonna Taylor lived and died, and the Black Lives Matter disrupters were out in force to protest and turn the actual sporting event into a sideshow.

On Thursday the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture introduced a new webpage and collection celebrating the activism of African American athletes. A story by The Undefeated's Parker Owens declares, "The same athletes who were chastised and told to 'shut up and dribble' are now going to be immortalized as a part of the Smithsonian and chronicled in the story of…
