On ‘People of Color’ and ‘Systemic Racism’ — And Why I Am Sick of Hearing It

 


Dov Fischer  . . . "So I am sick of hearing about diversity and sensitivity. I am sick of it. You know how I succeeded in my life? I did not whine about anti-Semitism. I did not tell all my classmates and professors and my readers that “you all owe me” for all the times I was called a “Kike” and a “Jew bastard” and a “Christ killer.” That you owe me reparations and you owe me compensation for the reduced grades I suffered for classes and tests missed on Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah. Rather, ya wanna know how I succeeded? I’ll tell you:

"Like my mom and dad, both of blessed memory, and like all other members of my family, and like all my Orthodox Jewish friends, I never relied on a favor or compensatory advantage from government or institutions. I just knew I had to work harder and do better than others, such that “they” would not be able to keep me out even if “they” wanted. I had to get SAT scores in the top 10th percentile in the country to be sure I would get into Columbia. So I did. To get into the law school of my choice, I had to get LSAT scores that blew the ceiling off, so I scored in the 99th percentile. No one was gonna give me Affirmative Anything. To get a judicial clerkship, I figured I would have to get onto law review, so I worked even harder than that and got named Chief Articles Editor of law review. (I confidentially was told later by two people on the outgoing law review editorial board, who had been at the vote where I was selected for that honor, that I actually had been one of the two finalists for Editor-in-Chief of law review, but that I had lost the vote because four people openly said they could not vote for an Orthodox Jew since he does not work on Saturday.) To get into a top 20 law firm, I needed a resumé that showed law review and federal judicial clerkship. To write for The American Spectator, I had to have writing skills that would impress Melissa Mackenzie and Wlady Pleszczynski and just enough snark to impress Bob Tyrrell. To be a law school professor, I had to have pedagogical skills that rapidly would make me too good not to hire and — in this era of cancel culture — have the self-discipline in the classroom to hide my beliefs from the rabidly leftist faculty members always on the prowl, looking for conservative professors and G-d-fearing adjuncts to extirpate.

World War 3: the warriors against the woke; what can go wrong (Updated)

UPDATE: Unprofessional Attack on Tucker Carlson, Proving How Politicized They've Become   . . . " He spoke about how, while China is building up their Navy to be reportedly bigger than ours, Joe Biden’s focus was…maternity flight suits and updating requirements for hair styles.

"Now members of the DOD responded, not to the actual question posed here – whether the DOD really planned on having women that pregnant to require maternity flight suits actually involved in battles – but accusing Tucker of being anti-women."

"Now I suggested when I wrote about this story that perhaps they were trying to adjust flight suits for people that weren’t actually going into combat, who perhaps were performing tasks on the ground. But then listen to their response, they don’t even address the question raised about a heavily pregnant woman fighting, which was the question, they immediately claim the remarks are sexist and claimed he was mocking women in the military." . . .

The build-up begins: Biden plans a Kamala Harris road show  "Doddery old Joe Biden isn't even trying to hide it anymore. His gaffes and garble are soaring to orbit. The faraway look in his eyes is growing dimmer. The public is noticing.

"He called himself a transition president. He presumably joked that he'd resign if he ever disagreed with Harris. But much sooner than anyone thought, a Hollywood style starlet build-up for Vice President Kamala Harris is beginning as if to prepare the public for his replacement.

"Start with this International Women's Day tweet from someone at the controls of the Twitter account of senile old Joe:

Those are our national leaders we depend upon to lead America through this coming international climate: 

As China Declares War with US Inevitable, Army General Highlights Need for Fighting Vehicles  "China has 7,000 tanks and 3,000 infantry fighting vehicles, "so 10,000 vehicles that will be decisive if we are not there," Maj. Gen. Richard Coffman, director of the Army's Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross Functional Team, told an audience at a Center for Strategic & International Studies event.

"In order to be decisive, we have to be there with armor to prevent the Chinese from getting into a position of relative advantage," he added." . . .

As China’s new Communist Party leaders take power, they face a more outspoken military brass

‘China’s military must spend more’ to meet US war threat


"General Xu Qiliang, second in command of the armed forces  after President Xi Jinping, said the spending was necessary to prepare the country for the “Thucydides trap”, the idea that conflict is inevitable when one power rises to displace a great one." . . .

US Air Force Magazine:Pregnant Airmen Needed to Test Out USAF’s Maternity Flight Suits

WOKENESS IS DESTROYING THE MILITARY  ". . . But we cannot survive the Woke Feminists declaring that we need more women on the front lines of the military Because Equality™️. We cannot survive the military putting Wokeness ahead of common sense and putting trannies on the front lines.

We also cannot survive the Woke Mobs defunding the police because in their insane delusional brains, the police exist exclusively to kill innocent black people, and provide no benefit to society at all.

"One of the most underrated stories of the past few years is the disgraceful Wokeness of many top military brass. Think of traitors like Lt. Col. Vindman, whose raging Trump Derangement Syndrome drove him to betray his country. Even Mattis, who most people (including myself) thought was a badass, is actually a total SJW:


The Chinese have to have drawn the proper conclusions from watching America's youth take their hatred for our nation into the streets; seeing them burn, kill, and assault their fellow American citizens. China has to have realized they have in this nation an entire generation comprising a "Fifth Column" willing to come to their aid in a conflict. Add to all this is a silly but insidious press and media, rotting our very culture and families. The Tunnel Dweller



The Race Racket

. . . "The race racket has never been more aggressive, stoking up resentments and division daily in pursuit of this or that power grab. “Critical race theory” pervades America’s schools, indoctrinating children in the demands of this racket.It is no wonder that race relations get worse, not better, under the strictures of liberalism. Its goal is not racial harmony or moral betterment but domination and power." ...

Lemon
 The Race Racket "Liberalism is an ideology that obsesses over past evils while overlooking present evils. As their own institutions collapse, liberals preoccupy themselves with the condition of ancient ones. Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey has given the woke iconoclasts a new target: the British monarchy. CNN’s Don Lemon seized on her accusations,saying that the “whole institution is built on a racist structure” and no one should be surprised by her charges given that “is what the monarchy is based on — heredity, hierarchy, a caste system, bloodlines.”

"According to liberals, racism is not a human problem but a uniquely white problem. Never mind that slavery was a practice throughout the white and non-white world for centuries, as the black economist Thomas Sowell points out:

Of all the tragic facts about the history of slavery, the most astonishing to an American today is that, although slavery was a worldwide institution for thousands of years, nowhere in the world was slavery a controversial issue prior to the 18th century. People of every race and color were enslaved — and enslaved others. White people were still being bought and sold as slaves in the Ottoman Empire, decades after American blacks were freed.

 Everyone hated the idea of being a slave but few had any qualms about enslaving


others. Slavery was just not an issue, not even among intellectuals, much less among political leaders, until the 18th century — and then it was an issue only in Western civilization. Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th century were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other American leaders. You could research all of the 18th century Africa or Asia or the Middle East without finding any comparable rejection of slavery there. But who is singled out for scathing criticism today? American leaders of the 18th century. . . .

. . .  The 19th-century black educator Booker T. Washington once warned that campaigns against racism can turn into a racket: 

There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays…I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Rule by Left-Wing Lunatics

"A third Proud Boy was headed to trial along with Kinsman and Hare — until the prosecution noticed he was East Indian and his presence would have hurt the narrative that Proud Boys are “white supremacists.' ”
lawenforcementtoday

  Ann Coulter  "A governing principle of the Democratic Party is to ask, “Who is in the dock?” before deciding whether to enforce the law.

"As we have seen throughout the last year of antifa/BLM riots, in blue states, it’s now legal to commit arson, attempted murder, assault on a law enforcement officer and destruction of property — provided the perp is antifa or antifa-friendly. Andy Ngo’s smash bestseller “Unmasked” gives chapter and verse on antifa’s shocking violence untouched by criminal penalty.

"On the other hand, if you’re a conservative, don’t commit a misdemeanor in a blue state. Proud Boys, Capitol Hill protesters, police and other presumed Trump supporters are getting more prison time than actual murderers for minor infractions. Even a couple of personal injury lawyers (liberals) are being criminally prosecuted in St. Louis for brandishing guns at violent looters coming toward their home. The rioters, you see, were BLM protesters.

"In all these cases, local Democratic officials gleefully announce that they are locking up “white supremacists.”

"Prepare yourself for a lot of witch-trial hysteria in the upcoming trials of Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis and the Capitol Hill trespassers in Washington, D.C. We’ve already seen it with the Proud Boys in New York City.

"In a nation of laws, a crime is a crime, and it shouldn’t matter whether it’s committed by Mother Teresa or Charles Manson, but, as long as they brought it up, OF COURSE THE PROUD BOYS AREN’T “WHITE SUPREMACISTS”!

"The organization is a tongue-in-cheek men’s group, promoting masculinity and Western civilization in humorous ways. Most of what they tell members is healthy: Get out of your apartment, work out, get a girlfriend and don’t masturbate. Further aside that it annoys me to have to make: There are African Americans, American Indians, immigrants and loads of Mexicans in the Proud Boys. Pretty crappy membership drive for a “hate group.' ” . . .

. . . The police did manage to arrest three antifa thugs who followed one speech attendee leaving the event, punched him and stole his backpack. But it turns out that’s also legal in New York. The antifa were arrested for the violent attack … then immediately released with no charges. . . .

Read the rest here.

"Biden is a man in decline; America is a nation in decline"

Intellectual Conservative

. . . "America has been teetering on the edge of the precipice for decades. But the combination of the China virus, the race riots, and the economic shutdowns—all perfectly planned and executed by the Communist China-American Left international conspiracy—finally pushed America over that edge. The country is now totally in freefall and upside down. Bad is good, and good is bad. Wrong is right, and right is wrong.

"So, congratulations America! You are about to get what you want and what you fully deserve—the destruction of all the freedoms and liberties that used to make America a special place. America will soon be just another socialist/communist/fascist wasteland. Reagan said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We are that generation." . . .

Everything Democrats touch becomes a joke, including our military

Democrat Logic: Joe Biden Says Military Will Focus on Making “Maternity Flight Suits” — So Pregnant Women Can Drop Into Enemy Territory During Wartime?  "The Biden White House announced on Monday, which happened to be International Women’s Day, that the US military is focusing on “maternity flight suits” for pregnant women. "Because it’s important that pregnant women are able to drop into enemy territory during wartime.

"Biden made the statement right before he forgot where the hell he was and the name of the general standing behind him.

"Joe’s handler for the day, Kamala Harris, was standing behind him but failed in her daily duties." . . .

Biden reverses Trump's transgender military ban

Jen Psaki: queen of the dance

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Watch her dazzle the press with her footwork!

Jen Psaki slammed for 'homophobic' tweet about Sen. Lindsey Graham  "
Biden press secretary called Graham '#LadyG' "
. . . " 'If you want to know what a media double standard looks like, Jen Psaki, as a CNN employee, can tweet this, get hired to be a White House Press Secretary, and not even feel compelled to delete it after it was unsurfaced a few days ago. She doesn’t care. She’s on the same team," Fourth Watch editor Steve Krakauer wrote." . . .

Psaki's Revelation as to Who Actually Wrote Biden Proclamation Speaks Volumes ..."It’s a punt with an homage to diversity, not unlike her “we appointed a woman” response to questions that she’s pulled out to multiple questions.

"But there’s a bigger problem in what she said. Notice how she tried to deflect any criticism of the proclamation leaving out Seuss by saying it was written by the Department of Education. But it was written in the first person and signed by Joseph R. Biden. So is she saying he’s not the one writing official proclamations with his name on them, written in the first person? Really. Tell us more about this. Now, yes, we get that he has speechwriters and such. But isn’t he responsible for things which he, in fact, signs? Or are you saying he has no idea/connection to the things he’s issuing or that have his name on them? Because that’s surely what she was implying in her response. That would be a big problem. Is that what you’re really saying, Jen Psaki? And do reporters really find that a satisfactory answer to that question?"

Jen Psaki Thinks You're a Moron, and She's Making It Clear We Don't Really Have a President  . . . "When asked about why illegal immigrants are flooding the border, Psaki attempted to blame (checks notes)…hurricanes?...

"It’s not their program? Is Joe Biden president or is he not? It is simply not acceptable for Psaki to blow this question off when it is her boss’s job to run these organizations and provide these answers. The Department of Homeland Security is not its own branch of government, and the lack of communication with the White House is a stunning indictment of how worthless the current officeholder is.

"Overall, Psaki is making it clear we don’t really have a president. We have a doddering old man who doesn’t know where he’s at half the time. That’s about the extent of Biden’s capabilities these days. Deflections to other agencies is not leading. It’s being a coward...."

Petition Grows To ‘Impeach’ Pelosi After She Rams Election Bill Through Congress

The Pelosi Petition  

Impeach House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi & Senator Chuck Schumer

 RED RIGHT   "After Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rammed the controversial election bill through the House an online petition was launched to impeach Pelosi and it’s gaining steam. 

"The petition has collected more than 850,000 signatures continues to grow. 

“ 'We the people ask that impeachment proceedings begin against Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for Treason against the American People.  Article I, section 5 of the U.S. Constitution provides that “Each House” (that is, the Senate and the House of Representative) “may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member,” reads the petition. 

"The controversial election bill is called “For The People Act” which would nullify state elections laws, would require vote by mail in ballots in all 50 states, kill voter ID laws, and require a minimum of 15 days of early voting. 

" Not one Republican voted for the bill and it is considered dead on arrival at the Senate. 

“ 'H.R. 1 [the For The People Act] would legalize voting for convicted felons all over the country even if they were convicted of election fraud,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) said on Tuesday." . . .

The Hill; Judd Gregg: Impeach Pelosi and Schumer



MSNBC's Joy Reid: "You do not have to suffer from Eternal Bitterness Syndrome to be a Leftist, but it sure helps”

The Daley Gator

Her anger and bitterness are eating her up inside. And so, she lashes out at those who have happiness and joy in their lives. I don’t know what it would take for her to find a little happiness. You would think that after her side won the election she would be happy. But then, she knows that the election was not won fairly, and that biden is not legitimately the President. And she knows we know. And that is scaring her to death. There is no hope for her. And no joy. Ironic, isn’t it Joy?

"Take Loony Joy Reid for instance. The Other McCain examines her constant anger

"Liberals have spent five years ranting about “white supremacy” (when they weren’t busy ranting about “Russian collusion” or accusing Brett Kavanaugh of being a serial rapist) and the rest of us have been left to our own resources to figure out exactly what liberals mean when they accuse Republicans of being “white supremacists.” So now an eminent spokeswoman for liberalism has finally offered some clarification:

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday that for “people on the right,” not being able to “be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is suppression.”
Reid, responding to a tweet from MSNBC political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson, said “people on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the n-word like in ‘the good old days.’”
“To them, not being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is oppression,” Reid wrote. “Trump is the avatar for this ‘freedom.’”
Both Reid and Johnson were addressing Deseret News article by journalist Bari Weiss, who claims “self-censorship is threatening democracy.” .  . .


Joy Reid: Red States Want Black People Alive to Make Steaks, and Want to Use N-Word   "The race for the “most embarrassing person on TV” is heating up. Chris Cuomo continues to make a strong case, Don Lemon never disappoints, but MSNBC’s Joy Reid may have just taken the lead." . . .Who knows what Cuomo will say tonight, whether Jemele Hill’s Vice show ever gets attention, or whether some sucker will put insane tweeter Keith Olbermann back on TV — so for now, Joy Reid has pulled away as the worst person on TV."

There is no joy in Reidville; anger has been worth big bucks to her: The Power in Being an Angry Black Woman 

Why on Earth does MSNBC’s Joy Reid still have a job?

Joy Reid uses Rush Limbaugh’s death to hurl twisted racial smear at his long-time friend and producer  "Not content to just smear legendary radio show host Rush Limbaugh now that he’s passed of lung cancer, left-wing media figures are aiming their sights at his longtime talented producer and friend, James Golden, aka Bo Snerdley." . . . 

"Reid is among the many far-leftists who nevertheless believe Limbaugh was an “evil” person just because he made unorthodox, smart-alecky jokes.

"Meanwhile, in reality, the MSNBC host is the same woman who attacked then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise after he was nearly murdered during the baseball shooting in 2017. Why did she attack him? For the crime of being a standard conservative." . . .

While the Sanders campaign demanded an apology from the network, critics of Joy Ann Reid's morning show said the segment was "fraudulent garbage" and a "disgrace.". . . "MSNBC is a f*cking disgrace," said journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept. Greenwald said the use of "bulls**t charlatan body language analysis" to call Sanders a liar was "appalling but typical" of the network." . . .

. . . "Media critic Adam Johnson noted, "just to be clear 'body language experts' aren't actually a thing and MSNBC should stop having them on all the time in general.' " . . .

MSNBC’s Joy Reid is the wrongest person on television  . . . "But! Joy Reid is a television pundit, albeit one who toils for the hysterical conspiracy-theory factory known as MSNBC, and hence can never suffer any penalty for being factually inept: Hey, it’s only somebody talking. Did you make the mistake of assuming MSNBC was about accuracy?. . . "If MSNBC were capable of shame, it would announce that Reid has been suspended and told not to come back to work until she is up to speed on basic civics. But then again, Reid’s balderdash is in harmony with MSNBC’s brand: Just think of the network as Mostly Stupid but Nobody Cares." . . .

Carolla smacks down ‘narcissist’ Joy Reid’s bragging rant on Dems having ‘the glamorous culture’  ..."Following MSNBC airing the big “Celebrating America” prime time special for Joe Biden’s inauguration, Joy Reid dripped praise for the event and said it shows how “Democrats have the culture” and the right “hates that.” She went on to explain how that makes the left so much better than the right."...

The Woefully Ignorant Media Is Getting America's Anger Over the Cancelation of Dr. Seuss Books so Wrong, so Let Me Help

 RedState


"Looking at how the media reacted to the reaction by Americans at the cancelation of some of Dr. Seuss’s books, it’s hard to tell whether they’re being obtuse on purpose or if they truly misunderstand the American people so much that their bubble stops them from experiencing reality as it is.

"Case in point, here’s what one Business Insider reporter had to say about why conservatives were mad about Dr. Seuss, and I’m going to warn you, the explanation is so stupid that you may get dumber for having read it:

“ 'The current obsession among right-wing media with Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head etc. is among the most bizarre manifestations we’ve seen yet re: their fear of white people becoming a minority. That’s really what this is all about. Fear of not being in control,” senior political reporter John Haltiwanger tweeted." . . .

Democrat voters: no sign of shame apparent yet.

 Cops defunded, de Blasio's wife urges New Yorkers to do their own policing  "Did it occur to any of the leftist politicians boostering for the 'Defund the Police' far-left trope that they might just be left holding the bag? "Seems not. And sure enough, it's slowly starting to dawn on them that were played for fools.

Crime in New York City is out of control, so Chirlaine McCray, the scandal-plagued wife of far-left Mayor Bill de Blasio, is now offering a bizarre new solution to resolve the problem: Every citizen his own policeman.

. . . "The wokesters may like it, but everyone else knows that it's going to get people killed. Crime is exploding in New York now. Calling on people to stop their own muggers and rapists is just going to lead to more carnage." 

Why Cuomo Has NY Democratic Leaders Fuming "Everyday there is another account that is drawing away from the business of government. We have allegations about sexual harassment, a toxic work environment, the loss of credibility surrounding the Covid-19 nursing home data and questions about the construction of a major infrastructure project," Senate Majority Leader Andrew Stewart-Cousins (D) said in a statement. "New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health and economic impacts of it. We need to govern without daily distraction. For the good of the state Governor Cuomo must resign." . . .

Why the Left Hates Cuomo . . . As of this writing, Cuomo insists that he will not resign. It will be interesting to see if his own party will impeach him. If not, Cuomo remains crippled politically. Whatever happens, he deserves not one bit of pity.

"Conservatives may feel a bit of schadenfreude at seeing Cuomo in dire straits. But they should be sobered by the fact that if Cuomo is finally brought down for good, it will not be by a conservative resurgence in New York, but by committed leftists, equally if not further to the left than he is."

Insanity Wrap #161: Cancel Culture Comes for Cuomo

If Cuomo Goes Down, So Should Whitmer, Newsom, Murphy, and Wolf

"With Biden in the White House, the Democrats no longer need a model pandemic governor, and the AOC wing of the party in New York is preparing to primary him with an unfiltered socialist."

. . . "Patricia McGinnis, executive director of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, had warned, “California’s directive is nothing less than a death sentence for countless residents.""Democrats want to save Newsom’s job and they don’t want Cuomo’s scandal taking him out." . . .

Los Angeles County Recall Organizers File Official Intent to Recall D.A. George Gascon . . . "The grounds for the Recall as stated in the official notice include the following:

  • Since being elected, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has abandoned crime victims and their families. Gascon has disregarded the rule of law and weakend lawful sentencing requirements for the most violent criminals, including murderers, armed robbers, and rapists.
  • George Gascon’s new policies treat career and repeat violent offenders as if they had never committed a crime, ignoring public safety laws approved by the people. Gascon has even reduced sentences on hate crimes, gun crims, and gang crimes.
  • On behalf of crime victims and their families, and in the interest of public safety, this notice of intention to recall George Gascon as Los Angeles District Attorney is submitted.

"The threshold to meet this Recall is smaller than the Recall Gavin Newsom amount. Just 580,000 signatures are needed . . ."

'Christian Movies Are Way Too Preachy!' Says Man Who Clearly Hasn't Watched A Netflix Show Recently

. . . According to several sources, Netflix is a multi-billion-dollar company whose sole purpose is to provide insufferable preaching to millions of viewers for only $17.99 per month. Experts cite several studies showing that Netflix has passed Christian entertainment and is quickly approaching 1st place for hyper-partisan preachy material, right behind Saturday Night Live and The Babylon Bee.

Including the dominance of women over men. 

Poll: 2/3 of Americans Think Corporations Are Taking Political Wokeness Too Far. . . 

  • “Disney defended using sets near the slave camps in China.”
  • “Them firing people for having different views than the boss has.”
  • “They are yielding to woke cultural activism.”
  • “They are developing a full-blown cancel culture.”
  • “They caved to the liberals of the cancel culture. If she had liberal views, she would be
  • hailed as a champion.”
  • “They fired an actress who dared to be conservative.”

The Daily Wire signed former Disney+ star Gina Carano after she was fired for social media posts deemed too offensive, though similar examples of social media posts from others who co-starred with Carano did not yield the same result.

The same poll found over 70 percent of those surveyed believe Carano should not have been fired by [Disney].
