The Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week is the longest-running cable television series in history, filling screens with sharky content every summer since 1988. It causes one of the largest temporary increases in U.S. viewers' attention to any science or conservation topic. It's also the largest stage in marine biology, giving scientists who appear on it access to an audience of millions. Being featured by high-profile media outlets can help researchers attract attention and funding that can help super-charge their careers. Unfortunately, Shark Week is also a missed opportunity. As scientists and conservationists have long argued, it is a major source...

QUEENS, NY—In a courageous new episode of Sesame Street, the puppets teach kids about social justice by introducing a new character, Todd-- a white male puppet who is blamed for everything wrong in the world. Minutes into the episode, Todd is introducing himself to the other puppets and a prescriptively diverse cast of guest children, when he is confronted by Grover about Todd's culpability regarding a distant ancestor who fought for the Confederacy.

Christopher F. Rufo released leaked documents detailing a tax-payer funded racially segregated “white privilege” re-education seminar for white male employees of Sandia National Laboratories. The lab which designs America’s nuclear weapons, named the mandatory training: “White Men’s Caucus on Eliminating Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia in Organizations.” Christopher F.

Here are the leaked documents from the race-segregated, taxpayer-funded session. Last year, Sandia National Laboratories—which designs America's nuclear weapons—sent...

Michael Moore took time out from lamenting the defeat of Bernie Sanders to warn that “white men” will have to pay for causing President Trump. Mr. Moore, who wrote a 2001 book called “Stupid White Men,” continued that theme Thursday in the latest edition of his Apple podcast “Rumble.” “Men — especially white men have a big responsibility to make amends for the Trump era,” said the director of “Roger and Me” and “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

Rush Limbaugh's December 2018 Limbaugh Letter has an article titled "Demonizing White Men." It highlights -- with actual quotations from people in the media, academia and the political and entertainment arenas -- the attack on white men as a class. You can decide whether these statements are decent, moral or even sensible. Should we support their visions? Don Lemon, a CNN anchorman, said, "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them." Steven Clifford, former...

Welcome to America 180, the era of bashing, beating and bloviating about the evil white man, who, according to every liberal in America, is now a rapist, a gang rapist, a racist, and the unabashed holder of that horrific calling card, white privilege. For snowflakes, aggrieved Millennials, liberal fools, feminist nuts and freeze-dried hippies, it is now chic, cool and urbanely vogue to participate in the evil white guy destruction derby. Consumed by self-hate, and some kind of Henry II type guilt, white liberals enjoy verbally flogging themselves, and expostulating about how wonderful the world would have been and would...

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Before a reporter could go there with Carolina Panthers rookie running back Christian McCaffrey, right guard Trai Turner took it there. Turner rightly figured the discussion would turn to the fact that McCaffrey is among the handful of white players at his position in the NFL. “Have you seen him run?” Turner asked. “If you’ve seen the guy run, you don’t think about it [his race]. White, black, red, green — I don’t care what color he is. He’s special.” Nine games into his professional career, McCaffrey has flashed the talent that prompted the Panthers to...

MSNBC Criticizes Caitlyn Jenner For ‘Flaunting Her Residual White Male Privilege’

Appearing on the 9 a.m. ET hour of NBC’s Today on Monday, left-wing actor Donald Sutherland recalled being scolded by actress Helen Mirren on the set of one of his films: “Helen Mirren came up to me on the set and....she said, ‘You are the most privileged person on Earth’....I said, ‘How can you say that?’ And she said, ‘You are a white male.’” Co-host Tamron Hall wondered: “And your reply to that was?” Sutherland proclaimed: “There’s no reply. I was ashamed. I was stunned. And I have gotten more ashamed. It's interesting to realize that you are seen as...

U.S. Rep. Stephen F. Lynch says it’s time for the Democratic Party to “get back to its roots” and refocus on speaking about the issues facing white, blue-collar workers now that the Republican Party has seized control of the White House and retained both the House and Senate. “This is a rebuilding year, I think we have to look at the results and where our weaknesses are,” an introspective Lynch told the Herald yesterday, three days after President-elect Donald Trump cruised to a surprise victory over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “We are very, very progressive and sometimes we overlook that...

As I watch the events of last evening and this morning unfold surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing I am left with the feeling of vindication -- The bombing suspects were foreign terrorists and not an American white guy. Coincidently, watching the live video footage of the events one cannot help but notice a) That well over 90% of the law enforcement officers involved in apprehending these suspects are white males and b) They are the ones defending the public. But who are your going to believe, the left-stream media or your lying eyes? We white males have been disparaged, mischaracterized,...

This cycle will be the year of the “Angry and Repentant White Man.” In both 2000 and 2004 White men sensed it was important to .... vote to keep the White House out of Democrat control. They voted for George Bush at ... 60% rate and gave him victory. Nevertheless in 2008, for various reasons, 2 million White men voted for Barack Obama. Now in June 2010 most of these voters have realized they made a terrible mistake and are eager to help ameliorate the damage their ill place support has brought to our country. A steady flow of insults...

NEW YORK -- A white man accused of pummeling a black man over the head with a baseball bat was convicted of second-degree assault as a hate crime Friday after a three-week trial that focused on the defendant's use of "the n-word" during the beating. A jury deliberated for eight hours over two days before finding 20-year-old Nicholas Minucci guilty in the assault of Glenn Moore last June in the predominantly white Queens neighborhood of Howard Beach -- the site of another notorious attack that inflamed racial tensions in New York 20 years ago. Minucci looked pale as the verdict...

A high school social studies teacher who was put on leave after comparing President Bush's State of the Union address to speeches made by Adolf Hitler defended his lecture on Tuesday, saying he was trying to encourage students to think. "My job as a teacher is to challenge students to think critically about issues that are affecting our world and our society," Jay Bennish said on NBC's "Today Show." Bennish is on paid leave from Overland High School in suburban Aurora, Colo., while Cherry Creek School District investigates whether his Feb. 1 lecture violated a policy requiring that balancing viewpoints...

The Associated Press reached a new level of incompetence, and the "news" industry they serve doesn’t seem to care. If you want political opinion, you’ll find it in Associated Press dispatches. If you want news, you might have to read conservative opinion columns. On February 22nd, Walter Williams, a Townhall.com columnist, scooped the mainstream media. Williams reported that high school teacher Jay Bennish lectured his geography class stating: 1) "[President Bush’s State of the Union Speech] sounds a lot like the things Adolf Hitler used to say." 2) "Bush is threatening the whole planet." 3) "[The] U.S. wants to keep...

COLORADO high-school sophomore Sean Allen couldn't convince his father that his geography teacher was as over-the-top as he contended. So Allen taped one of his teacher's rants on his MP3 player. Too bad for Jay Bennish: His 20 minute lecture ended up on talk radio. As aired on Mike Rosen's show, Bennish said President Bush talks like Hitler: "I'm not saying that Bush and Hitler are exactly the same," but that the two share "eerie similarities." Peruvians and Iranians arguably have "a right to bomb North Carolina" because the state grows tobacco. On Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda operatives were...
