[SNIP] Eight concepts of racism can be extracted from definitions Carson presented in a chapter titled “Was Lincoln a Racist?” Carson says (p. 338) that his definitions “draw on important work in contemporary philosophy.” Racism-1: Believing that members of a group with certain racial characteristics are morally or intellectually “inferior” to members of groups that lack those racial characteristics. *It is racist-1 to believe that blacks are morally or intellectually inferior to whites or Asians (for example). * I’d venture to say a comparatively small number of people hold racism-1 beliefs. * The left throws racism-1 accusations at Republicans without...

Last week, I gave high praise to Reagan, the new movie looking at the life of America’s greatest Cold Warrior. It was a heartfelt, meticulous look at Reagan’s fundamental decency and love for America. Today, I’m giving high praise to Matt Walsh’s Am I Racist?, a new movie looking at the race hustling industry. It is a hysterically funny, pointed, and appropriately vicious look at people, both black and white, who deliberately promote racial discord for power and huge profits.The movie’s premise is a simple one: Matt Walsh embarks upon a journey to discover whether he is a racist and,...

Conservative commentator and filmmaker Matt Walsh is no stranger to controversy, and with his latest venture, “Am I Racist?” he’s hoping to take the conversation to a new level with a weapon that knows no political boundaries: comedy. The Daily Wire film, which satirizes diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, takes Walsh undercover to college campuses and corporate settings, confronting consultants and professionals in the DEI space. Unlike Walsh’s previous project, “What Is a Woman?” which tackled the absurdity of the trans movement, "Am I Racist?" isn't confined to The Daily Wire’s streaming platform but marks the media company’s first...

No matter how much you disdain and despise the mainstream media…it is not enough. Not nearly enough. Case in point: the newly rebranded “Minnesota Star Tribune” recently ran an article—on the front page of the ‘A’ section—about the history of the KKK in Minnesota. The headline read “Her mission: Documenting history of KKK in Minnesota.” Clever. The piece never mentioned the Democrat party, never once noted that the party was the home of the KKK, the pro-slavery party, the Jim Crow party, the anti-integration party, the anti-reconstruction party. Misinformation. Disinformation. Mal-information. Lying by omission. Shameful. Instead, the article hinted throughout...

This I began writing two weeks ago as an overnight guest in a cosy cabin on a farm beside an endless dirt road in the most remote part of the north-western Cape Province in the country of my birth, South Africa. To many eyes this might seem a landscape of utter desolation: hot, dry and windswept scrubland plateau, flat as far as the eye can see but cut by deep, rocky canyons tight with the most intense and diverse profusion of succulents on the planet: flowering aloes, spiky aloes, furry aloes, ground-creeping aloes and the strange giant palm-like aloe, the...

Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for holding rallies in places described as "sundown towns." A TikTok user pointed out a "troubling pattern" in the locations of Trump's recent rallies in a video that has gone viral on social media. It was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, where it amassed millions of views. "Howell, Michigan; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Johnstown, Pennsylvania," the man said in the video. "What do these places have in common? They're all sundown towns." He added: "This is where Donald Trump is choosing to hold his rallies... You got a presidential candidate for the GOP...

A man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast Kara Welsh in an apartment off campus, authorities said. Welsh, who won an individual national title on the vault for the gymnastics team last year, was allegedly shot multiple times by a 23-year-old man at an apartment about a block from the university’s main campus Friday, police said. Police have not released the name of the suspect, but they said they believe she knew him. The nature of their relationship was not clear. Police said officers arrived just before midnight Friday and found Welsh dead...

Clemson’s 2024 season got off to a horrific start on Saturday, falling in a largely non-competitive matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs. And former NFL wide receiver Roddy White has one explanation for why Clemson perhaps didn’t come out and compete. Georgia’s offense had very few issues moving the ball at will on Clemson, particularly in the second half of the game. Star quarterback Carson Beck looked as good as advertised, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-3 victory. Meanwhile, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik largely struggled to show much growth in his season debut, throwing for just 142...

Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes is not happy with former Daily Wire personality Candace Owens for coming for infringing on his turf and appealing to his anti-Semitic audience. After previously praising her for her descent into the fever swamp, Fuentes recently mused that he doesn’t “know how much I really even support what Candace is doing anymore because she’s muddying the waters.” “I had no problem, no complaint, until, one, she started getting a lot of the facts wrong, which really damages all of our credibility. Because you’re already pushing a topic which is very taboo and very challenging for a lot...

The Department of Education is excluding Asians, whites, "Arabs and other Middle Eastern ethnicities … many Latinos and some Africans" from a $60 million program for students from "disadvantaged backgrounds" unless they meet a two-prong exception, a new lawsuit alleges. The McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, named after the black scientist who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, awards grants to colleges to prepare undergraduates "for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities," with a goal of increasing PhDs "from underrepresented segments of society." The eligibility page says "at least two-thirds of the participants must be low-income,...

Candace Owens was slammed for her 'increasing embrace of antisemitic tropes'

The comments came a few days after Senator JD Vance, the vice-presidential candidate from Ohio, rejected far-right white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who had recently targeted Vance's wife, Usha Vance, because of her Indian heritage. Vance stressed that the best way to handle such attacks was to "ignore" them.

Controversial podcast host Jason Whitlock has accused black WNBA players of being racist towards Caitlin Clark and slammed networks like ESPN for not talking about it. The No. 1 overall pick and rookie sensation has been subject to rough treatment on numerous occasions during her first season as a pro, with some accusing her opponents of being jealous of her remarkable impact on women's basketball. The latest incident arrived on Sunday when Seattle Storm's Skylar Diggins-Smith took a cheap shot at Clark after she inspired the Indiana Fever to a 92-75 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Diggins-Smith, an Olympic gold medalist...

Candace’s main arguments, pointing out she referred to Holocaust education as indoctrination and excused Adolph Hitler’s horrifying orders as “nationalism.”

Candace Owens Defends Hitler. Really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfStkMY4ZII Ayn Rand Centre UK. July 12, 2024. ____ AG @AGHamilton29 If you want to see just how insane and dishonest Candace Owens’ conspiracies are, just watch this 2.5 minute clip. There are 4 separate insane false conspiracies in that period. Someone without a deep knowledge of events will watch this and think maybe she’s revealing some unknown history, when she’s really just connecting Wikipedia dots to promote some insane conspiratorial and antisemitic view of the world. Thing is that the conspiracy she is repeating is one that has been around Neo Nazi circles for...
