A couple of weeks ago, I wrote: “Let’s not mince words, Donald Trump is a bigot and a racist.” I cited a long list of incidents in which he targeted women, Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, Asians and the disabled. Here’s what I heard back from Trump’s defenders: “Let’s not mince words,” somebody tweeted under the name Helios Megistos. “Milbank is an anti-white parasite and a bigoted kike supremacist.” “[Trump] may well be a bigot and a racist,” one Michael Banfield wrote me via email. “But one thing is certain: The only thing missing from your photo is a [vulgar word...

White people are quick to cite personal hardships instead of acknowledging that they are privileged because of their skin color, according to a new study. Stanford University's L. Taylor Phillips and Brian S. Lowery, writing in November's Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, split test subjects into two groups - with one given more evidence of white privilege in American culture.

The NAACP has lost its bid to overturn a pro-life law in Arizona that bans any abortion used specifically to target a black baby in an abortion. Arizona became the first state to pass legal protections for unborn babies targeted for discriminatory race-based abortions in 2011. Since then, the law has bounced back and forth through numerous challenges in court, filed by pro-abortion groups. In the latest battle, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals considered whether the pro-abortion groups that filed the lawsuit have legal standing to challenge the law. The American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona filed the challenge...

Normally they hide their agenda under a layer of nauseating rhetoric about diversity, multiculturalism, etc. But sometimes they are less discreet. A few sample white genocide quotes: “The goal of abolishing the White race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed White supremacists.” — Noel Ignatiev “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him” — Jose Angel Gutierrez, Chicano activist and university professor. “If...

Sam's Club CEO Rosalind Brewer is being accused of discriminating against white men following a CNN interview where she discussed the importance of workforce diversity. Brewer was asked by the interviewer how she promotes diversity within her company. "It has to start with top leadership," Brewer said. "My executive team is very diverse and I make that a priority. I demand it within my team."

Speaking at an event for women in Los Angeles this week, Barbra Streisand complained that society is so misogynistic, even female laboratory mice are being discriminated against. "Gender discrimination drives me crazy," said the multiple Grammy and Academy award-winning actress and singer. "Women are still treated as second-class citizens when it comes to equal pay in the workplace and equal representation in Congress." [Snip] Streisand, who has made contributions toward heart disease research for nearly three decades, then spoke out about gender inequality in medical research. "Gender inequality even extends to mice in the labs," she said. "They're all male!"...

I’m sorry I failed to give you a heads up on this, butt HGTV ran a special last night on the White House’s 2015 Holiday decorations. Don’t worry, it will be on another 12 dozen times. "Genevieve Gorder takes us behind the scenes for an exclusive tour of the nation's First Home at at the holidays.

On her eponymously named Sunday morning show, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry went into a mini-rant about racism in Star Wars as she complained about villain Darth Vader being "totally a black guy" when he was "cutting off white men's hands" who did not "claim his son," but then became a white man after he "claims his son and goes over to the good." MSNBC's Harris-Perry Gripes Over 'Totally Black Guy' Darth Vader as Evil CharacterDuring a segment about the upcoming The Force Awakens sequel, after a discussion about Princess Leia's slave girl costume from the 1980s at 11:44 a.m., the...

Presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposal to bar all Muslims from entering the United States has reignited an old debate about the Republican Party, which some see as the party of intolerance. Liberal critics have long insisted that Republican candidates use coded language that sounds respectable on its face but covertly signals an outdated view of race, ethnicity and religion to their constituents. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) voiced this perspective on Tuesday, saying that Trump's words and policies simply reveal the true values of the party and its supporters....

Recently I went to see a play at an Off-­Broadway theatre that I love, a production I found remarkably profound. I was in town for only a day, and redeye jetlag fatigue or not, I was going to the show if I could find an affordable ticket. What I didn’t predict was that the show would lead to a confrontation with microaggressions and white privilege. Turns out the social conflict wasn’t just happening on the stage. I got to the box office and asked the staff if they had any discounts. The price that they offered wasn’t low enough for...

There is something deliciously ironic about academic and media elites rethinking Woodrow Wilson, probably the president they have lionized most until the current occupant of the White House took office. It is an irony that Mr. Wilson himself would most likely not appreciate, and not just because he didn't appreciate many ironies. My predecessor at Accuracy in Academia, Dan Flynn, summed up the turnaround nicely in an article he wrote for the American Spectator recently. "The New York Times calls America's 28th president 'an unapologetic racist whose administration rolled back the gains that African-Americans achieved just after the Civil War,...

As an Indian woman, the "ban all Muslims" debate is terrifying and sad. My grandfather moved to Canada from India in the mid-1960s, when black people were marching through America's streets demanding rights they never should have had to ask for. Dadaji was not sure where Indians fit into America's racial struggle. Like many immigrants coming to the West, he had escaped a childhood of poverty and was looking to raise his kids some place where they wouldn't have to fight so hard to make a good living. He was considering moving to America from Canada, but before he uprooted...

A man is actually suing the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for exhibiting masterpiece paintings of Jesus Christ because Jesus is white and blond in the paintings ” and that is racist. Justin Renel Joseph has filed a lawsuit in the Manhattan Supreme Court alleging that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 demands that the four paintings be removed, according to an article in New York Post. "They completely changed his race to make him more aesthetically pleasing for white people," he told the Post. "I'm suing a public venue which by the Civil Rights Act of 1964...

Amidst the onset of the trial against Officer William Porter last week over the death of Freddie Gray, the University of Maryland announced it is bringing its "Freddie Gray's Baltimore" class to the school's undergraduates. Offered as MLAW374 as a part of the school's undergraduate pre-law minor, the course description says the one-credit class aims to observe "the social context for police abuse and urban uprising," as well as the "issues pertaining to Freddie Gray's death including in areas of: criminal justice, police-minority community relations, housing, schools, and access to health care."

I’ve been feeling down lately. You see, I’m a white heterosexual American Christian. That means I’m the worst thing to ever draw breath on the planet. By virtue of existing, my kind if responsible for all the injustice in the world. Wars splintering apart Mesopotamia? Famine raging in Africa? Poverty in Latin America? All my fault. White colonialism has ransacked the entire globe, leaving it razed and destitute. All the world’s problems, from hunger to strife to impoverishment, fall squarely on the back on the white man. And those are just the issues that affect people beyond America’s borders. On...

He re-segregated the federal workforce after gains made in the Reconstruction era, and removed black officials. This was no accident. In his 1901 book, “A History of the American People,” he extolled the Ku Klux Klan for helping “the white men of the South” to rid themselves of “the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant Negroes.” But here’s the thing: Racism isn’t the only aspect of Wilson’s character and career that should give Princeton pause about honoring him. Most notably, President Wilson led the United States into an unnecessary and disastrous war. World War I has...

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. Former Democratic President Woodrow Wilson may be purged from his alma mater, Princeton University. The old “Schoolmaster of Politics”, as he was known for his academic background at Cornell, Bryn Mawr, Wesleyan and finally president of Princeton U, has been thrown under the bus by its current president for being a politically incorrect progressive. Also known as a plain old racist. Woody was indeed a racist. Though even on his worst day he was still about 40% less racist than...
