I spend a lot of time talking about how western civilization – in particular as driven by the United States – is easily the greatest that mankind has yet created. If one looks at it objectively, it’s not even close. The list of things that are part of the everyday life of people around the world is basically a list of things that were invented or developed in the west. From cars to planes to advanced agriculture to elevators to plastic and mobile phones and computers and DNA and much, much more. But every now and then something happens that...

A former member of Houston’s Food Insecurity Board, Sade Perkins, has been removed from her position after posting a highly controversial and racially charged video mocking the victims of the tragic July 4th weekend flash floods along the Guadalupe River. The floods killed at least 82 people, including over two dozen children attending Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp near Kerrville, Texas. Perkins, who was appointed to the board in 2023 by then-Democratic Mayor Sylvester Turner, uploaded the video to her TikTok account, "sades_world8," before making it private. In the video, she made a series of inflammatory statements, drawing a...

The woman speaking is Sade Perkins. Sade Perkins is the Market Manager of Freedmen's Town Farmers Market and a Non-Resident Fellow at Princeton University. She serves on the Board of Directors for Houston Food Insecurity in Houston, TX. (Receipts in the thread.)

The buildup to race socialism has been decades in the making, and Mamdani could be the politician to make it mainstream. The far-left publication Canadian Dimension published a column in February that called for a wealth tax and explicitly linked it to race: “It’s no secret that extreme wealth in western democracies is overwhelmingly held by white people, and Canada is no exception.” There is no doubt that Mamdani is a charismatic figure, with a readily deployable smile and a soft millennial bearing that makes him appear rather harmless. It is an excellent shield for a man whose ideology strays...

Much controversy has erupted over how certain WNBA players treat Caitlin Clark, a white athlete with the Indiana Fever, and many people are pointing to racism. But many people on the left insist that blacks can be prejudiced, but they can’t be racist. A former editorial editor at Harvard’s Crimson publication writes on the ideology here: As one African-American lead character from the 2014 movie ‘Dear White People’ argues, ‘Black people can’t be racist. Prejudiced, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can’t be racists since we don’t stand to benefit from...

'Let's talk about basketball!' Caitlin Clark bristles in news conference Fever star Caitlin Clark gets frustrated with reporters for asking about scuffles with the Sun despite Indiana advancing to the Commissioner's Cup championship.

Israel says it first bombed Iran to stop it from being able to produce nuclear weapons and the “existential threat” they would represent. But the conflict may in the long run serve the opposite purpose: illustrating to Tehran and other nuclear-aspirant nations that nuclear weapons are essential in shielding them against attack. Countries such as North Korea already pointed to Libya, whose leader Moammar Gadhafi gave up his nascent weapons program but was toppled anyway in 2011 after a NATO intervention. That’s one of the reasons Pyongyang has developed its own arsenal — which is believed to have San Francisco...

Moniece Slaughter has gone on a serious rant online after her car was reportedly broken into. But it’s not just about the robbery; her comments about Black people have sparked major controversy and have a lot of people talking. After falling victim to a car break-in, she went on a scorched-earth rant that had social media gasping, critics furious, and Black Twitter calling for accountability. According to reports, Moniece took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (April 30th) to vent about the people who broke into her truck and stole her belongings, including production equipment, a full talent wardrobe, props,...

Derek VanBuskirk, a reporter from the Daily Caller, was racially profiled by a black apparent South African while on his way to the country to investigate claims of genocide in the country. “After 30 hours of travel, I got here about an hour and a half ago. I actually have already been racially profiled,” VanBuskirk said in a video shared on X. “It actually happened in Paris as I was getting onto the plane.” VanBuskirk told his colleagues a black man with a what appeared to be a South African accent stopped him at the airport gate as he was...

Barack Obama’s legacy here started early. Not quite in office for six months Obama showed his hand with his characterization that “The police acted stupidly” about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates a professor at Harvard who, locked out of his house, broke in. A neighbor, not recognizing Gates, called 911. The police arrived and things didn’t go well and Gates was arrested. When asked about race and the incident a week later, Obama responded: "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to...

Here's NewsNation's Brian Entin reporting on an anonymous USDA whistleblower who is exposing the Biden regime's racism. Brian Entin @BrianEntin I met with a USDA whistleblower. He says the Biden administration forgave farm loans for only non-white farmers and when they were told it was illegal, continued to secretly do it. Kept it "hushed for the obvious implications of race based loan forgivingness." Full story: VIDEO AT LINK............. "It was to pay off anyone who wasn't a white male's loan. That was the only qualification for this loan forgiveness." That's all that it took to be qualified?? "They were trying...

ESPN has built a culture of racism at the network, leading its personalities to become some of the most toxic in all of media. The latest example of this comes from the latest Caitlin Clark nontroversy. In her first game of the season, Clark fouled Angel Reese, who flopped and then tried to start a confrontation. Clark was given a flagrant foul mostly due to Reese’s overreaction, as the foul was a typical foul you would see in any basketball game. Former ESPN personality Robert Griffin III said in the aftermath that Reese “hates” Clark, which is not a crazy...

The South African president’s office vowed Wednesday to fight the “treasonous act of misinformation,” which it blames for spreading abroad what it considers false narratives about the persecution of white Afrikaners. The warning came two days after the first charter flight of several dozen Afrikaner refugees arrived in the U.S. On Tuesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa called the refugees “cowards” for “running away” — a sentiment that his party, the African National Congress (ANC), echoed. The ANC claimed that the Afrikaners were not being persecuted, while faulting them for abandoning “transformation,” a policy of racial economic redistribution. Ramaphosa’s representative, Minister in...

Angel Reese ratcheted up her feud with Caitlin Clark on Tuesday as she re-posted a TikTok trolling her 'white girl' rival. The pair clashed over the weekend, as Clark was assessed a flagrant foul for slapping across Reese's arm and ultimately sending her to the ground. An incensed Reese then beelined for Clark when she got up before others intervened to keep them separated. And while Reese later said the foul from Clark was a 'basketball play,' she's evidently still thinking about the moment, as she re-posted a video insulting Clark.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Trump administration charged Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) with assault because of her race. Carville said, “This is my personal opinion, I think they went after her, and I think her race has something to do with it. I’ll just flat out and say that. It’s my point of view.” Host Ari Melber said, “You’re of the view that you’re asserting that the Trump administration or DOJ is targeting her racially. Why do you assert that?” Carville said, “Because that’s what they’re about, and they’re trying to show it’s...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) made some controversial statements on Sunday while speaking about why he hires so many black citizens to work for the city. While speaking to the congregation at the Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn, Johnson made statements that brought criticism online, MRC-TV reported on Monday. “Some detractors that will push back on me and say, ‘The only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people.’ No, what I’m saying is when you hire our people we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet,” Johnson...

A teenage motorist who followed and rammed an e-bike rider to 'teach him a lesson' after he pulled a wheelie has been jailed for life for murder. Abdirahman Ibrahim, who was 19 at the time, chased after Liam Jones before twice driving into the back of his off-road electric bike, the second time catapulting him into a concrete bollard. Mr Jones, 22, suffered catastrophic chest and abdominal injuries and was left to die in the road after Ibrahim fled the scene.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that former President Joe Biden should have dropped out of the 2024 presidential race earlier so Democrats could have had a primary. Host Kristen Welker said, “Senator, would the party have had a better chance at winning in 2024 had President Biden dropped out sooner?” Klobuchar said, “You know, everything we look at in a rear-view mirror after you lose an election. Yes, we would have been served better by a primary, but we are where we are. We’re not on the History Channel right now, and I believe...

It aims to ensure that everyone had access to skills that would help them benefit from the digital economy, and Mr. Trump slammed it as “unconstitutional.” “No more work handouts based on race! The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway,” he wrote. “I am ending this IMMEDIATELY and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!”
