Lawrence Battiste and Jermaine Burrell withdrew from the race Wednesday and officially endorsed Barbara Drummond. “This moment we’re in calls for unity,” said Burrell, a former Mobile city councilman. Battiste, a former police chief, says polling showed that none of the three black candidates was likely to make a runoff. “You need to position yourself to be one or two,” Battiste said. “If you’re not one or two, it doesn’t matter. Number three is the first loser. So, the goal is how do we come together and...

The company allegedly required managers to reward employees “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance.” Many believe that masculine industries, such as military and defense, are naturally immune to left-wing race and gender ideologies. This is mostly a myth. These institutions are organized according to prestige and profit—and when those signals point to “woke,” industry leaders have dutifully followed. Take America’s largest defense contractor, Lockheed Martin. As we have previously reported, after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership...

So stunning, so brave. In what's being called a "contrast" to the two white men who have statues in Times Square, a new 12-foot statue of a fictionalized overweight black woman has been erected at Broadway and 46th Street. Why? The Times Square Arts association presents a big word salad on its official website for the bronze statue (it will stay standing until June 17) created by artist Thomas J Price, but then, buried deep in the word salad, we get an interesting nugget.
