A "George Floyd Autonomous Zone" has been created in Minneapolis that has a list of "rules for white people." According to the bulletin, white people must abide by these ridiculous rules in order to enter the area, which was created around where Floyd died last May. Entering the area as a white person comes with potential risks if you make the mistake of behaving in a “problematic” manner. All visitors are asked to wear face masks and act with “humility,” but a lengthier list of rules for white people explains how they will be treated differently.

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world. In his nomination papers, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies. “I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality. Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice,” Eide said. “They have had a...

SAN DIEGO — For the second time in as many months, the City of San Diego has removed Black Lives Matter artwork drawn by children in La Jolla. City workers showed up Wednesday and told neighbors the chalk drawings were being removed because the city was getting too many complaints. The chalk drawings in support of the BLM movement were never meant to be permanent (snip) After all, a rainstorm would wash the artwork away. “The beauty of chalk art is it's not permanent,” said neighbor Ruth Leivers. So, neighbors were surprised Wednesday when city workers showed up to remove...

Boeing is seeking to increase black US employees throughout the company by 20 percent and mandate benchmarks for hiring people of color, Chief Executive Dave Calhoun told employees in a memo on Friday reviewed by Reuters. US corporations have become more responsive to complaints related to racial equality following a summer of sweeping anti-racism protests over the slaying of black people by police. The changes at Boeing, a stalwart defense contractor with its corporate headquarters in Chicago and largest factories in Washington state and South Carolina, appeared to mark the first concrete steps by the planemaker to address the issue....

Players marched from Tiger Stadium through campus and toward the office of LSU interim president Tom Galligan. The group included senior safety JaCoby Stevens, quarterback Myles Brennan, receiver Ja’Marr Chase and many more.

All of a sudden, Black Lives Matter is doing all sorts of public services. – Think about it: The NBA is literally destroying itself in support of the openly-Marxist BLM terrorist group. Major League Baseball is going down that same road. The spoiled college football players at both the University of Texas and Oklahoma University walked out on their practices on Thursday. And who can doubt for a second that the NFL will trod down this road to hari-kari when its season convenes in a couple of weeks? This is awesome, folks. As I’ve written previously, what all of this...

With their boycott of games earlier this week to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, athletes in the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball have crossed a bridge that they may find difficult to return from. Though professional athletes have become increasingly politicized since former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began his “Star Spangled Banner” protests in 2016, the widespread cancellation of games, including NBA playoff contests, is unprecedented. The walkout in support of Blake, who was wanted on a sexual-assault charge and whose own girlfriend called the cops on him, hardly represents the...

by Greg Reynolds It's spreading folks. Racial violence against Whites incited by the radical Marxist "Black Lives Matter" movement. Earlier we reported on a stabbing at an AutoZone in Georgia Tuesday morning, in which Jayvon Hatchett, a 19-year old Black man attacked a White employee, later telling a judge he “felt the need to find a white male to kill” after watching videos of police brutality happening across the country. Well late that same day, many states away, it happened again, with more serious results. Police in Aurora, Colorado arrested a 30-year-old black man, for stabbing another man moments...

The NFL reportedly plans to play a song titled, Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing, also known as the Black National Anthem, prior to every season opening game this year. The song, according to a source to ESPN, will be played prior to the Star-Spangled-Banner. According to ESPN: Early last month, commissioner Roger Goodell in a video admitted that the league had erred in how it handled peaceful NFL player protests of police brutality and systemic oppression. Goodell condemned racism and affirmed that Black lives matter, pledging his allegiance to the players in the battle for equal justice under the law....

An Isle of Man radio host suspended for denying he had “white privilege” had been reinstated after the Free Speech Union went to bat for him. Man, which is technically neither part of the United Kingdom nor a British Overseas Territory like the Falkland Islands but a semi-independent Crown Dependency tied to the British government through its historic relationship with the British Crown, was home to fewer than 200 people who identified as Black/Black British when its 2011 census was taken, along with 1,624 people who identified as Asian/Asian British, 354 people who identified as Other, and 748 people who...
