The DNC held a forum for candidates hoping to become chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Monday at George Washington University. One candidate, Sally Boynton Brown, the executive director of Idaho's Democratic Party, urged Democrats to provide "training" to teach people to be "sensitive" and "how to shut their mouths if they are white." "My job is to shut other white people down when they want to interrupt," Brown said. SALLY BOYNTON BROWN: I’m a white woman, I don’t get it... My job is to listen and be a voice and shut other white people down when they want...

But few high-level Democrats are willing to denounce these terrorists. Video has surfaced showing masked Antifa thugs in Berkeley, California, last weekend calling for the destruction of the United States. "No Trump, no wall, no USA at all!" the large gathering of cowardly black bloc-style protesters chanted at a conservative “No to Marxism” rally. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Antifa, short for anti-fascists, are the de facto militant arm of today’s Democratic Party, just as the Ku Klux Klan functioned as the murderous terrorist wing of the party many years ago. "This is a political militia that is...

"The View" host Joy Behar took her anti-Trump talk to another level on Thursday, posing the possibility of the president being charged with hate speech in the wake of Wednesday's controversial rally. Behar kicked off the comments by saying she does not understand how President Trump could "get away with" attacking freshmen congresswomen the way he had, before launching into the next part of her diatribe. "Why can't he be brought up on charges of hate speech?" Behar asked. She then wondered why the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which has repeatedly sued Trump's administration, hadn't sued the president over...

President Trump early Monday ramped up his online attacks on a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen, asking when they will apologize to the U.S. "When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said," he tweeted. "So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!" he added. "If Democrats want to unite around the foul language & racist hatred spewed from the mouths and actions of these very unpopular &...

To anyone focused on real world events and relationships, America is obviously the most tolerant and inclusive society that has ever existed. If you are looking for irrefutable evidence, watch an hour of TV commercials created by major U.S. companies. Racially integrated couples, gay couples and families, multi-racial professionals and creators are featured on virtually every one. This would hardly be the case if anti-Black and anti-gay sentiments were perceived by corporate advertisers to pose a significant threat to their sales. The same is true of television programming generally, where series featuring little people, obese people, and every mix of...

Facebook monitors the offline behavior of its users to determine if they should be categorized as a “Hate Agent,” according to a document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a source within the social media giant. The document, titled “Hate Agent Policy Review” outlines a series of “signals” that Facebook uses to determine if someone ought to be categorized as a “hate agent” and banned from the platform. Those signals include a wide range of on- and off-platform behavior. If you praise the wrong individual, interview them, or appear at events alongside them, Facebook may categorize you as a “hate...

Internet researcher Jonas Kaiser said Thursday that YouTube’s latest move to ban extremist content on the platform is “too little, too late.” “When it comes from white supremacists, from Neo-nazis, YouTube in my mind has been doing too little, too late,” Kaiser, a Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society affiliate at Harvard University, told Hill.TV. He urged the platform to be more transparent when it comes to freedom of speech issues. “In general there needs to be more transparency, especially when it comes to thorny issues like First Amendment rights, which I think should be protected at all costs,”...

Demonetization is when the platform deems you too controversial to be a money partner with them for their ad clicks. A harmless Australian channel with nature sounds and relaxation music was demonetized by YouTube during the purge of "hate speech" channels in the wake of the Steven Crowder/Vox.com battle. This is not a political channel but it somehow has been tossed into the battle. YouTube revenue is their lone source of income (granted, not the wisest choice but if you live out in remote Australia, you might have few ways to make a buck).

Police in Germany launched dozens of raids across the country on Thursday as part of a crackdown on incitement crimes being spread on the internet. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has said it searched residences in 13 federal states as part of a coordinated operation. One of the largest operations took place in the western city of Koblenz, where the apartments of 12 suspects were searched in connection to two right-wing extremist Facebook groups. The 12 suspects were between the ages of 45 and 68, and were believed to be responsible for the groups called “The Patriots,” and “Our...

A new survey of college students by the liberal-leaning Knight Foundation shows the future of the First Amendment doesn't look so bright in America. It found 41 percent said "hate speech" should not be protected by the Constitution. Only 58 percent thought it should. In fact, a 2017 survey out of UCLA found that out of 1,500 college students who were asked whether "hate speech" is protected by the First Amendment, only 39 percent correctly said yes. On campus today, it can be defined as "unsafe" to hear an opinion you don't like. Unwelcome speech is compared to a physical...

The nation of Canada has been giving us a chilling vision of what it looks like when a western nation completely succumbs to the dangerous ideology of multiculturalism, the cultural Marxism that always inevitably restricts the rights of some to pave the way for the rights of others. There is no equality in multiculturalism. Christians have faced increasing adversity in Canada as of late, but new proposed legislation that would make it a crime to publicly express one’s faith is a chilling new low. In the proposed legislation, it would become illegal for Christians to make any public displays which...

Most of the liberals across the country – particularly in the media – are all in favor of “punishing” Republicans in public office. But they tend to limit their ambitions in these areas to the idea of voting them out of office. Or, in the case of the President, removing him sooner via impeachment. This is seen in some quarters as accountability. Today, however, I’m looking over a more unique suggestion, brought to us by Matthew Sears at the Washington Post. Sure, it’s all well and good to talk about holding elected officials accountable. But what about the voters who...

Facebook on Friday banned black conservative activist Candance Owens for seven days, after she wrote a post calling attention to the correlation between father absence in the black community and household poverty, Breitbart reported. The post concluded: "Black America must wake up to the great liberal hoax. White supremacy is not a threat. Liberal supremacy is." Screenshot The social media giant later reversed the ban, claiming that they "mistakenly applied a temporary block to Candace Owens’ account that we have since restored." "We recently announced a group of people that we removed from our services for violating our policies. Candace...

Liberal author and Vanity Fair contributing editor Fran Lebowitz, 68, made the comments during Friday's edition of Real Time with Bill Maher Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered inside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Istanbul, according to Turkish officials Lebowitz later claimed she 'did not mean' that she wanted the President dead and that her comments had been 'misinterpreted' The outspoken social commentator has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past, describing him as 'a cheap hustler', 'stupid' and 'lazy

An 11-year-old Tennessee girl who told her classmates to stop making the Nazi salute was sent to the principal’s office, her father said in a tweet in which he asked the public to send her messages of support. Keith Jacks Gamble, chair of the Department of Economics and Finance at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreeboro, Tennessee, posted his request on Tuesday. Gamble said that a student at his daughter’s McFadden School of Excellence in Murfreesboro was assigned to play Hitler for the school’s Living History project and to make the Sieg Heil salute. After students started to make the...

This kid gives me hope. Of course your age won't stop the left from going after her. This is way beyond anything I could have argued at this age. Amazing.

New Zealanders are receiving home visits from police to check on their political views, with one individual claiming that authorities asked him if he supported Donald Trump. The visits are taking place as a response to March’s Christchurch mosque massacre. In one clip, armed police arrive at a man’s home on Sunday morning to question him in relation to his political beliefs. “The reason we’re here, basically it’s down to the recent events in Christchurch, with the shooting there, a number of people have been identified who we’ve been asked to go and speak to, so you’re one of those...

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg hailed on Friday France’s efforts to regulate hateful content online as a model for the European Union after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. “I’m encouraged and optimistic about the regulatory framework that will be put in place,” Zuckerberg told reporters at Facebook’s Paris headquarters. “It’s going to be hard for us, and there’s going to be things in there that we disagree with. That’s natural.” […] A report commissioned by Macron published earlier on Friday recommends increasing oversight over the world’s largest social media network and allowing an independent regulator to police the efforts of...

MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton raised eyebrows Wednesday when he met with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with critics pointing out that conservatives are scolded for similar relationships. Sharpton’s “Politics Nation” is a weekend news program on the leftist network. Mediaite’s Caleb Howe spotted a photo of the meeting on Sharpton’s Twitter feed and pondered why MSNBC isn’t criticized in the same way conservative outlets are when pundits meet with GOP lawmakers. “The question raised today was whether MSNBC, through Sharpton, should be subject to the same criticism,” Howe wrote.

Shocking footage uncovered by the Investigative Project last week shows a skit produced by the Muslim American Society (MAS) in Philadelphia showing children calling for martyrdom as soldiers in the “army of Allah” and threatening to behead their enemies and subject them to “eternal torture” to wrest Jerusalem from Jewish control. The horrific MAS-Philly children’s skit was posted to their Facebook page and shows a choreographed production as part of the group’s April 17th “Ummah Day” pageant dedicated to supporting jihad to control Palestine. A MAS statement on Friday said the songs and poems the children recited exhorting violence and...
