"Shut up, I don't want to hear what you have to say." That sums up today's Democratic Party in a nutshell.There's nothing quite like a 2 way discussion where 1 person just needs to shut up......that's how you solve disagreements. This mental illness is spreading like a virus across this nation. I don't think it's merely the dumbing down of the population.

Students burn copies of Hispanic professor's book after she asked them to think about their white privilege Georgia Southern students reportedly burned copies of an Hispanic author's book after she challenged them to examine their white privilege. Author and University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Jennine Capó Crucet was at the university as part of a book series for first-year students, according to student newspaper The George-Anne, discussing her novel "Make Your Home Among Strangers," which tells of a poor Latina girl who's accepted to a selective college in New York. During her talk, one of the students reportedly told Crucet, "I...

Google has been seeking facial scans of people with 'darker skin' as part of its efforts to improve the company's facial scan software. The company has sent out teams of temp workers, hired through the staffing agency Randstad, to scan people's faces in exchange for $5 gift cards. Workers for the program said they were directed to target homeless people and college students.

“Analysts need to be African-Americans, not people that are not,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib said. “It’s true, I think non-African-Americans think African-Americans all look the same!” She said she has witnessed people confuse Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who both are black and bald. Detroit’s chief of police, Chief James Craig, gave Tlaib a tour of the Real Time Crime Center, where the department uses facial recognition technology to find suspects. Craig, who is black, did not go for Tlaib’s suggestion. “I trust people who are trained, regardless of race, regardless of gender,” he responded.

In a piece for the magazine’s October issue, Hill insists that black athletes are doing blacks no good by allowing “white” colleges to use the student’s athletic prowess to raise funds to benefit the college. After noting that 2018’s top college prospect Kayvon Thibodeaux brought a lot of notoriety to a historically black college when he was looking colleges over, Hill pointed out that the NCAA and the “white” colleges that participate in the conference make billions a year off the sweat of black athletes. “Almost all of these schools are majority white,” Hill disparagingly wrote, “in fact, black men...

Actress Debra Messing appears to have endorsed an Alabama church's message that black supporters of President Trump are mentally ill. The "Will & Grace" star responded "THANK YOU #Alabama" Saturday to a tweet about a Baptist church in Birmingham that displayed a sign reading: "A black vote for Trump is mental illness." The other side of the sign reportedly accused white Trump supporters of racism. According to WVTM, the church's pastor claimed that Trump voters supported "institutionalized racism."

As we celebrate the 56th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, it looks like Maria Hinojosa has come up with a slight variation of what was perhaps its most famous line. As Hinojosa would recast it: "I have a dream that people will be judged by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character." Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy, and during a discussion of the Democrat primary, Hinojosa said: What does John Delaney offer? I’m sorry, I was with him last week, and this is a moment we have to have...

Democrats and the anti-Trump media are desperately trying to label President Donald Trump a racist through a relentless propaganda campaign built on twisting the president’s words and by making false race-based conclusions about his comments and policies. The credibility of this smear campaign is undermined by the timing of the racism claims and by analyzing the way President Trump’s political and media opponents selectively interpret policies such as immigration and manipulate his words to fit their agenda. Before he was elected president, Donald Trump was a larger than life hero among the black liberal establishment—black Democrat politicians, black activists and...

'There's a sense that conservatism is normal, and that white conservative men are the norm' MSNBC's AM Joy host Joy Reid on Sunday likened the coverage of President Donald Trump to the media's treatment of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in the 1930s. Reid and her panel spent several minutes going after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and claimed he was helping Trump allegedly empower white nationalism, according to Newsbusters. After other panelists spoke, Reid jumped into the conversation to suggest McConnell was intentionally trying to destroy the United States for minorities before they gain power in the future....

Appearing Monday on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, former Illinois congressman and longshot 2020 Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh conceded that he has previously made “racist” remarks.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently trashed the electoral college on her Instagram Live, saying that the system used to determine the president of the United States every four years is racist and disproportionately advantageous for white people. Tara Ross, author of Regnery's The Indispensable Electoral College: How the Founders’ Plan Saves Our Country from Mob Rule, broke down for Townhall just why AOC is so misinformed. "We’re coming to you live from the Electoral College," Ocasio-Cortez said, showing largely empty farmland. "Many votes here, as you can see. Very efficient way to choose leadership of the country. I mean...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Cory Booker on Thursday said he would create a White House office to combat white supremacy and hate crimes if elected, becoming the latest Democratic presidential candidate to call for action after a racially motivated massacre in Texas. Booker said he would also require the FBI and the Justice Department to allocate the same level of resources and attention to white supremacist-inspired violence as they devote to international terrorism.

It should be clear to all Americans by now that the word the left loves to spew indiscriminately -- racism -- often now means nothing, absolutely nothing. That word is meant to be an accusation of the worst order, an epithet that is supposed to destroy all those so charged. But now it's used so frequently, it has no meaning at all. It's like the f-word, overused and merely a sign of one's lack of a wider vocabulary. Like the overused f-word, calling someone a 'racist' is a sign of sloppy, uncritical thinking. The word "racist" now means nothing more...

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper seemed to celebrate the idea of white people no longer constituting the majority of those in the United States. "The idea that, you know, whites will not be the majority, I mean, that's -- it's an exciting transformation of the country, it's an exciting evolution and you know, progress of our country in many different ways," he said. He made those comments while interviewing Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, who has openly advocated for more open immigration policies.

In case you haven’t fully gotten the message, African-American Democrats are really angry with any African-American Republican that embraces President Trump. Then, if an African-American Republican runs for an elected office, well, the racial slurs fly… from the Democrats. The race for Kentucky’s Attorney General is no different – just ask Daniel Cameron. Daniel Cameron is an African-American Republican candidate for attorney general in Kentucky. He came under attack by Dawn Elliott, a liberal female African-American lawyer and co-host of a political talk radio show, this week. Cameron is running against Democrat Greg Stumbo, a 67-year-old white Democrat who is...

I think I really do love all of these dunces we laughingly refer to as celebrities. The latest "absolutely awesome talent" that's in quotes, is this Sarah Silverman person. Apparently she did a sketch in black face 12 years ago and now she's being called out for her mortal sin against mankind. It really is heartening to see the very leftists that she is supposedly in league with turn on her and then rip her to shreds. More fun than the Roman coliseum at its height of glory. So many, many other stars have been so-called "called out" for past...

Two rare white lion cubs have been unveiled by a conservation charity in north-western France. Nala and Simba's parents were rescued from the circus by Caresse de Tigre. White lions are native to South Africa, but only a handful remain in the wild.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Joe Biden has apologized for his recent seemingly racist comment, where he said that poor kids are sometimes as smart as white kids. "Everyone who knows me knows I'm not a racist," said Biden. "I even have a black friend, Barry. Smart, articulate guy." Aides were then seen signaling him to stop talking, but Biden pushed on. "Rest assured," Biden said. "I like all races, even the bad ones." Aides threw up their hands in exasperation. "What? What'd I say?" Media immediately jumped all over Biden's comments, responding to his horrifying gaffe by calling on President Trump to resign.

President Donald Trump stepped up his attacks on Hollywood on Friday, telling reporters on the White House lawn, “Hollywood is racist.” When asked by reporters whether he felt recent acts of violence in the country had anything to do with his own often provocative rhetoric, Trump turned the tables: “You talk about ‘racist.’ Hollywood is racist,” he said. “What they’re doing, with the kind of movies they’re putting out, it’s actually very dangerous for our country. What Hollywood is doing is a tremendous disservice to our country.” He offered no specifics about what movies or programming he felt were “dangerous.”...
