In a recent interview with the Spanish media outlet El Intermedio, Univision's senior news anchor, Jorge Ramos, was completely upfront in revealing his disdain for the sizeable segment of U.S. Latinos who vote for Republicans, including for Donald Trump. When El Intermedio correspondent Guillermo Fesser asked Ramos to explain how it is possible that Republicans nationally consistently capture about a third of the Latino electorate (and in a prime battleground state like Florida, significantly more) Ramos candidly responded that these are the Latino voters who (evidently unlike himself, and Democrat voters) are "totally identified" with the United States, and who...

This is the horrifying moment a policeman and his colleague are savagely beaten in a brutal attack on a south London street. In mobile phone footage posted on Twitter two men can be seen punching and kicking the male and female officer as scores of people pass without intervening. The shocking incident in Merton, south west London on Saturday night, saw the two male attackers wearing hoodies and dragging the policeman away from his patrol car and kicking him. A policewoman can then be seen trying to pull them off her colleague but she fails as a man brutally kicks...

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes thinks racism was 'probably' a factor in the backlash against her for the South Florida office missing Thursday's recount deadline in a Senate race. As about two dozen protesters stood outside her headquarters Friday, including Bikers For Trump, Snipes, who is black, admitted she thought the criticism may have been amplified because of her race. When asked specifically if she believed her heritage could be playing a part in the hostile response she declined to elaborate but told the Guardian, 'Probably. Probably'.

FM stations in south GA are still running Stacey Abrams paid radio ads (on black-rap stations - recruiting people who could claim they had "any problems voting" .... No "concession " eh?

A white professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio has come under fire allegedly calling the police on a black student for putting her feet up on a chair. Biology professor Anita Mos is now under investigation for potential discrimination after footage of her kicking Paige Burgess out of her Anatomy & Physiology class on Monday, went viral. The video, filmed by a classmate, showed the moment three campus officers arrived at the classroom. Moss then directed them towards Burgess who stood up, and was escorted out.

According to a recent report in The New York Times, Health and Human Services Department officials have been circulating a proposal to define sex. Their memo says, "Sex means a person's status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth." They add, "The sex listed on a person's birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person's sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence." I think the latter statement lacks complete rigor. It's chromosomes, not what's on a birth certificate, that determine one's sex. Therefore, if a fetus has XX chromosomes,...

The midterms left us with a lot of things to think about. One of the most mind-numbing was when Oprah and Obama made it pretty clear that they believe America still oppresses black people. “All of us may have been created equal,” a preachy Oprah said at her Stacey Abrams rally. “But if ya woke! If you woke; if you woke just-a lil’ bit – you got sense enough to know that everybody’s not treated equally. The reality is this: We see injustices – big and small – all around us every single day of our lives. … (A)s our...

Members of Missouri's legislative black caucus on Thursday elected state Rep. Steven Roberts, D-St. Louis, to chair the group — but Roberts' ascension drew criticism from one of his colleagues who two years ago accused Roberts of raping her. Rep. Cora Faith Walker, D-Ferguson, announced Thursday on Facebook that she was leaving the caucus. "I have resigned from the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus," Walker wrote. "I stand in my truth and am incredibly grateful to my colleagues who stand with survivors."

The Gwinnett County, Georgia community was in shock last weekend after members of one its high school marching bands spelled out a racially offensive term during a performance. During the halftime show at a football game last Friday, four members of the Brookwood High School marching band used instrument covers to spell out the slur “COON.” The covers typically are used to spell out the school mascot name “BRONCOS.”

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont says the reluctance of white voters to support minority candidates explains the defeat of a number of a highly touted progressive candidates in Tuesday’s midterms. “I think you know there are a lot of white folks out there who are not necessarily racist who felt uncomfortable for the first time in their lives about whether or not they wanted to vote for an African-American,” Sanders told The Daily Beast in an interview published Thursday. “I think next time around by the way it will be a lot easier for them to do that.”

A shocking scene was filmed on a flight arriving at LAX as a black woman yelled an onslaught of homophobic slurs at another black passenger. The Friday clip shows the woman shouting a plethora of offensive marks at the man, who can occasionally be heard retorting his own dig. It is currently unknown where the flight had been coming from. The woman repeatedly tells the man to 'shut the f**k up,' growing louder as other passengers laugh in the background.

The YES (Youth Employment Service) 4 Youth initiative is embroiled in controversy over its registration process that allegedly excludes white South Africans. The government partnered youth employment initiative is a job creation programme. It involves a partnership between government and labour. It hopes to combat the country's rising unemployment rate.

In case you missed it earlier Wednesday, we highlighted an Election Day piece by Tiana Lowe, who predicted that if the big blue wave didn’t happen, white women would be made the scapegoats by the Left by Wednesday. And she was right. We’ve already done a couple of posts on the “vagina shaming” of conservative women who voted Republican, but the hits just keep coming. Here’s the Atlantic’s Jemele Hill making the exact same argument: that white women are voting against their own interests to preserve the patriarchy.

With the loss of Beto O’Rourke, Stacey Abrams, and Andrew Gillum, some progressives were looking to explain why far left candidates have so much trouble winning elections. The conclusion they reached? White women aren’t voting for their interests and are instead supporting the patriarchy. Let’s start with this tweet by the Women's March:

FLORIDA - The U.S. Senate race between Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Bill Nelson is still statistically too close to call – despite Scott calling the race for himself Tuesday night. Poll results are counting in at 50-50 with Scott pulling ahead slightly with less than 40,000 votes between them. In a speech to supporters in Naples just before midnight on Tuesday, Scott said he was confident in his victory.

When I was a freshman at the University of California, Riverside, in 1988, I drove a carload of excited fellow Vietnamese students to nearby Orange County. It was only 13 years after the end of the Vietnam War, but already there was a Vietnamese American Dream, symbolized by our destination, the Asian Garden Mall in Westminster. To the strains of Vietnamese pop music, we ate Vietnamese food, browsed Vietnamese goods, and sat in the balcony of the American-style mall, sipping Vietnamese iced coffee while we watched Vietnamese people. The mall was the heart of the Little Saigon in Orange County....

A 16-year-old rapper has become London's fifth stabbing victim in under a week as the number of people knifed to death in Britain this year hits 250. The teenager was found with suspected stab wounds in Tulse Hill, south London, after police were called to reports of a shooting at 10.53pm last night. Paramedics tried to save the boy, but he was pronounced dead at 11.41pm, forcing Metropolitan Police to open its 119th murder investigation in the capital this year. Friends said the boy was a drill rapper known as 'JaySav' and claimed the attack may be connected to the...

Florida voters are still casting ballots in the race for governor, but already some liberals can’t help but ask: Could Democrat Andrew Gillum be their answer to 2020? The 39-year-old African-American mayor of Tallahassee is in a dead heat with white 40-year-old pro-Trump Republican Ron DeSantis. Gillum lit up national progressives by pitching Texas voters an unabashedly progressive platform, including....

Among the many questions about an FBI corruption probe that is nagging Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum – one that could follow the Democrat uptown to the governor's mansion if he wins election next week – is something few people outside Florida are asking: What does his political rise have to do with 311 E. Jennings St.? An arcane question, perhaps. Yet the Tallahassee address offers a window into how politics is done in Florida's capital, and may say a lot about how Bernie Sanders-endorsed leftist has mastered the game.
