There are a number of “woke” articles depicting that White people are “replaceable.” For obvious reasons, many are finding these kinds of stories to be offensive and hateful. We are currently living in the 21st century and mindsets like these should be abolished. Furthermore, conservatives are wondering why liberals show so much hostility towards White people? An old opinion piece from the New York Times states that America’s White conservatives are now a minority in the country and they’re “clinging” to whatever they can hold on to. Statements like these would most definitely be deemed as offensive and outrageous if...

At an employment tribunal, the candidate said his failure to get the position as head of HR was based on his ethnicity and gender following the remark from Michael Jones, the managing director.

Hell has frozen over, and pigs are flying because Republican Kevin McCarthy is going viral for praising Democrats instead of the vitriolic hate he’s usually known for. Not only does the video clip show the newly ousted Speak of the House paying the Democratic party compliments, but he also lampooned his own party for its lack of diversity. The video, which already has 2.5 million views on X (formerly Twitter), comes from a debate McCarthy took part in at Oxford University on October 28. McCarthy represented the opposing argument in a debate titled “This House Believes US Interventionism Has Done...

The political elite are branding riots in Dublin last week as violently ‘far-Right’ – but it’s mass migration that presents the real danger Back in July, around the time of my birthday, I happened to clock a protest by women my age in south Dublin. Several splendid Irish mammies with crossly-crossed arms and don’t-mess-with-me-mister expressions were blocking roads in their neighbourhood after rumours circulated on social media that 60 undocumented male asylum seekers were to be housed there. “We come out and stand here and protest to keep our children and grandchildren safe and we are called ‘racist,’” one woman...

The realtors’ group and brokerages were ordered to pay damages of nearly $1.8 billion. The verdict allows the court to issue treble damages, which means they could swell...

The FBI has released statistics which reveal that anti-white crimes in the U.S. have increased by nearly 40% since 2018, whom experts believe is largely driven by the rise of Black Lives Matter. The studies additionally showed that mainstream media and BLM’s narrative of “institutional racism” and a general targeting of minority citizens is false, as such numbers have been on decline. In 2022, white citizens committed 51% of the hate crimes, and made up just over 75% of the U.S. population. (Trending: Chilling Update On Biden Bribery Scheme) Black citizens committed just over 20% of the hate crimes, and...
