Commenters on the twisted Haaretz stating IDF doesn't rape Arab women because of racism." (Just like the usual fake racism terminology by Haaretz - while justifying routinely racist Arab attacks - Haaretzism).(Translated from now14): There is a competition on the left who can say the most delusional statement. They have an iron dome of the media. _ There should be a demonstration in Kaplan [i.e. the center for leftists protesters] for the underprivileged Muslims, with huge signs that will read "We demand pluralistic equality, kidnapping, abuse and rape without discrimination"!!! _ Naama Riba says that whoever is not a racist...

Rob Smith, a gay and Black conservative who was heckled and called racist and homophobic slurs while attending a MAGA event last year, said he is leaving the Republican Party. Smith, a longtime conservative commentator, announced he now identifies as "politically homeless" during an episode of his podcast Can't Cancel Rob Smith titled "I Was Betrayed—Rob Smith Speaks Out" on Monday. Smith shared a video on social media in December that he said showed him at an event in Phoenix being "confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don't like gays or blacks in the Republican Party." He said...

According to suit brought by Jim Trotter, Jerry Jones and Tery Pegula (r.) made racist comments about multiple issues. This morning, Pro Football Talk tweeted out the first look NFL fans have gotten at longtime NFL reporter Jim Trotter’s discrimination suit against the NFL. Trotter’s suit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, names the National Football League and NFL Network, Trotter’s former employer, as defendants. The complaint filed on Trotter’s behalf spans a full 53 pages, but PFT tweeted out a few of the allegations contained therein, including allegations of statements that...

McEnany introduced a discussion of a New York City protest over the May 1 killing of a Black homeless man by a Marine veteran on a subway train...After coming out of a video showing a drum-beating mixed-race crowd chanting about Neely's death, McEnany said "Justice or burn it down - well, at least they have rhythm," evoking a stereotype about Black people...McEnany said she did not know the racial make-up of the protesters. She said she heard singing in her ear through the segment and did not see the video.

Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz has found herself in a racism row with critics of her dimly lit Vogue portrait of Ketanji Brown Jackson claiming it demonstrates her repeated failure to light black stars 'properly'. Leibovitz proudly shared her two photos of the Supreme Court justice on Twitter this week after they were published on Vogue's website.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the US should be treating all refugees in the same way Ukrainian refugees are being treated worldwide. “I think the world is watching and many immigrants and refugees are watching, and how the world treats Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees should be how we are treating all refugees in the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night. Ocasio-Cortez said there was a stark difference between the treatment of Ukrainian refugees compared to how Syrian refugees were treated not that long ago. “The way the world treated Syrian refugees versus the way the world...

Great Britain’s women’s soccer team has taken the knee before their Tokyo 2020 Olympic soccer match against Chile, the first time the protest to highlight racial injustice has been performed at the Games. The women’s team had previously confirmed that it would be taking the knee before its matches in Tokyo after England’s men’s soccer team also did before every game at the Euro 2020 competition this summer. Chile’s players responded by also taking the knee in the Sapporo Dome in Japan’s capital, which is being played without fans in attendance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. […] New...

Transport authorities in Austria and Germany have said they are phasing out the term ‘Schwarzfahren’ — which literally translates to ‘riding black’ — to describe fare dodging, over racism concerns. Vienna transit company Wiener Linien said on Friday it had already begun phasing out the term ‘Schwarzfahren’ in order to avoid “misunderstandings”. ÖBB, the company’s Austrian counterpart, said it would do the same. In recent years, the term has become increasingly debated in Austria and Germany, with some saying it has a racist connotation. Instead of using the term ‘riding black’, Austrian officials will use the literal ‘Fahrgästen ohne gültiges...

If you wanted to tear apart a country, really have the people hate each other, the playbook Democrats are following would be the way to do it. Take something irrelevant, but over which people can do nothing, and build it up into everything. Convince people others are out to get them, thereby absolving them of any responsibility for problems in their life, and they will eventually give up. Convince others they are perpetrators of something horrible, which only works with those out of real problems, and you have the makings of Nazi-esque powers of manipulation. This is what Democrats are...

Kamala Harris was 100% right when she said that the “riots are not going away”, even after the election. What the Left is creating is a permanent mob rule based system of anarchy that will soon vie with the police for control of the streets. The Black Lives Matter Movement, having now received nearly a billion dollars in funding since the riots began, is positioning themselves to be the 21st century version of Adolf Hitler’s Brown Shirts. Think I exaggerate? There are few social media sites with more impact and influence than consumer review site, Yelp. A good review on...

Three and a half years into President Trump’s presidency, not all lawsuits the Obama administration filed at the last minute alleging discrimination by companies have been thrown out. After Trump won the presidency, Obama’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within the Department of Labor filed lawsuits against Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco Systems and Palantir, alleging discrimination for supposedly hiring the wrong percentages of women and minorities and paying them unequally. If the discrimination was so serious, why did the Obama administraton wait to file the lawsuits until the last few days of its lameduck tenure? There was no evidence...

The Southern Poverty Law Center has spent the month of July committedly attacking conservative journalist Jack Posobiec with an array of nasty charges. The hit-pieces ranged from serious allegations of antisemitism to bizarre shaming of his affiliation with Donald Trump. When I questioned the SPLC narrative on Twitter, pointing out their inconsistencies and unpersuasive reliance on circumstantial guilt-by-association, the leftist tactician behind the attack, Michael Edison Hayden, responded in a demeaning manner. His friends joined in, attempting to elucidate through SPLC's re-education pieces. Remaining unpersuaded by the political puff pieces, but genuinely curious, I decided to go straight to the...

When Lyric Opera was forced to cancel all its performances for the rest of the year due to the pandemic, it seemingly lost one of its greatest outreach opportunities: The annual free concert at Millennium Park, which reaches thousands of listeners. Rather than take the loss, Lyric general manager, president and CEO Anthony Freud and Ryan Opera Center music director Craig Terry came up with an alternative – one distinctly in tune with our turbulent times. At 6 p.m. July 26, the Ryan Opera Center will present “Lawrence Brownlee and Friends: The Next Chapter,” a free virtual concert spotlighting Black...

The maker of Eskimo Pies will change the 99-year-old brand name of the ice cream treat, the company said Friday — becoming the latest organization to overhaul the marketing of a product with a racially tinged moniker in recent weeks. The owner of the Eskimo Pie, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, said in a statement they had been considering renaming the chocolate-covered ice cream bar and popsicle for some time. “We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognize the term is derogatory,” the company’s head of marketing said in a statement. “This move is...

All fantasy worlds draw from reality, and the Star Wars universe is no exception. As fans flock to theaters to see “The Rise of Skywalker” this holiday week, most of their minds will be on the grand visuals, enduring characters and exciting storytelling, and not on how the films reflect our culture — including its prejudices. But if we take a moment to think about it, George Lucas’s galaxy is, and has always been, far, far away from being an original or an inclusive creation. Star Wars is shot with “Orientalizing” stereotypes — patronizing tropes that represent an imagined East,...

A postal worker in New York has refused to deliver mail at a man's house after he put up Halloween decorations that he deemed offensive. The postal worker, who is African American, took offense to a skeleton hanging by a noose near Richard Beatty's front door, WCBS reported. "It's not meant to be racist. It's not to meant to offend anybody," Beatty told the TV station. "It's here to be scary."

A Texas waiter has admitted making up a racist note calling him a 'terrorist' that he claimed was left on a check. Khalil Cavil, 20, claimed he was stiffed out of a tip on a $108 bill at the Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, Texas over the weekend after the customer wrote on his receipt: 'We don't tip terrorist.' Now Cavill has admitted fabricating the episode, which resulted in the customer being barred from the establishment. Cavil told local paper the Odessa American: 'I did write it. I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse...

The Texas restaurant company that banned a customer after an employee’s story of a receipt scrawled with a racial epithet went viral said Monday that it had parted ways with the employee and learned that the story was spurious.
