Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis spoke about race in a speech on Friday, seemingly in response to part of Judge Scott McAfee's recent order that said she could remain on Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case. **SNIP** Willis previously rejected the accusations and said during a speech in January at an Atlanta church that her critics were "playing the race card" given that they had singled out Wade, who is Black. As part of his March 15 ruling, McAfee focused on Willis' January speech and noted that "the District Attorney described the effort [to disqualify her] as motivated by...

More than two years after her parents filed a federal racial discrimination lawsuit against her school district, a 17-year-old Michigan girl is now speaking out. This action was taken in response to months of taunting and harassment she experienced. On January 3, The Detroit News interviewed Clara Malick and her parents, Rob and April Malick. During the interview, Clara recounted her ordeal while attending Croswell-Lexington High School in Croswell, Michigan, in 2021. Clara, who is adopted, revealed that she faced persistent racial taunts from her white classmates, including being repeatedly called the N-word. According to her lawsuit, Clara was one...

*** Biden traveled to Charleston where he appeared at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church, as he tries to shore up his 2024 support with black voters. While at one point, he was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters shouting 'ceasefire now,' he was also awarded with cheers when he called Trump a 'loser' and chants of 'four more years.' 'So let me be clear for those who don't seem to know: Slavery was the cause of the Civil War,' Biden said, earning applause. 'There was no negotiation about that.' Last month, Haley - the former governor of South Carolina - stepped...

Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson delivered a bizarre rant shoehorning slavery and racism against black people into the discussion of the criticism he is facing from black Chicagoans for opening a growing list of shelters for illegals in their neighborhoods and for redirecting funds and services from black communities to serve the border crossers there. From the podium on Friday, Johnson attempted to misdirect criticism he faces from black Chicagoans for his efforts to house, feed, clothe, and give medical care for free to thousands of illegal aliens by trying to characterize critics as racists who don’t “love” black people.

Why is everything about race? Remember when everyone was just called an American? You remember that time when everyone was treated as an American. Why can’t we stop living in the past? The US fought a Civil War to end slavery and put race behind it. Racism was a thing of the past until President Barack Hussein Obama used race to divide the country. Racism was basically non-existence until he became president. They are always playing the race card. They created the race card and they used it all the time. They are obsessed with race........ When President Obama was...

On Saturday, August 26, three African Americans were murdered by a 21-year-old white gunman at the Dollar General Store in Jacksonville, Florida, who then shot himself. The murderer was motivated, Jacksonville Sheriff T K Waters reported, by an “ideology of hate.” The shooting took place 15 months after 10 African Americans were murdered in another racially motivated shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo. Racial violence against Blacks has scarred America since the first slaves were forcibly shipped to America. The Jacksonville murders, for example, took place one day after the 63d anniversary of Ax Handle Saturday, where 200 Ku...

A wide variety of historical, economic and cultural forces combine to allow a larger percentage of whites to climb up the socioeconomic ladder than Blacks and Hispanics. Some people call the combined effects of these forces “white privilege.” Though these words are commonly used, research by Lia Bozarth and me has found that use of “white privilege” on social media can actually decrease support for racially progressive policies. We found that the term can increase online political polarization and lead to lower quality conversations on social media. In particular, the term drives some whites who would otherwise support efforts toward...

Musician and activist Ted Nugent tore into former Barack Obama this week, claiming the former president “literally reignited racism in America” and questioned the legitimacy of his family. In a Real America’s Voice appearance with Kyle Rittenhouse, Nugent appeared to trigger himself when he mentioned Obama’s name. Rittenhouse was discussing the indictment of Donald Trump, calling it “political persecution” and claiming he can “relate” when Nugent went into a rant on Obama. “I went through this anti-justice system at the hands of Barack Obama…Barack Obama, you punk, you horrible, anti-American, communist, Islamic terrorist,” Nugent said. “Boy, that’s going to go...

Most Americans have moved on from the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM)-driven ransacking of some 200 American cities, which resulted in as much as $2 billion in property damage and at least 25 deaths. But that time must be remembered for more than rioting and destruction. The BLM pressure campaigns, harassment, and moral blackmail also amounted to possibly the most lucrative shakedown of corporate America in its history. Today the Claremont Institute's Center for the American Way of Life published the most comprehensive database to date tracking corporate contributions and pledges to the Black Lives Matter movement and related causes...

President Joe Biden... is now reviving former President Barack Obama’s idea of adding yet one more racial category to our Balkanized nation and effectively turning Hispanics into a race, not an ethnicity. In a document from the Office of Management and Budget, published on Jan. 27 in the Federal Register, a working group of the U.S. Census Bureau proposes to create a category for people who can trace their origin to Middle East or North African (to be called MENA). Secondly, it proposes to collapse the current two questions on ethnicity and race into one.... The reason two questions have...

There are many idiotic narratives forming around the beating death of Tyre Nichols by five former Memphis police officers. The most obvious one is that this is somehow a sign of “white supremacy” and “systemic racism” even though all five ex-cops who beat Nichols severely are black. Why would the radical left demand pure cognitive dissonance in order for the people to embrace their narrative? It seems counterproductive, especially in light of the facts that justice is in the process of being served. All five officers were fired, arrested, and charged. The “Scorpion” division of which they were a part...

Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker released a campaign video Wednesday which features him wearing a noose, in an attempt to highlight Senator Rand Paul's opposition to a 2020 bill that would have made lynching a federal hate crime. The video, which starts with a graphic warning, opens with a shot of a noose hanging from a tree. "The pain of our past persists to this day," Booker, who is Black, says in the opening lines. "In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool for terror. It was used to kill hopes for freedom."

Now shut up, you racistsThere was a shooting in a Brooklyn subway station yesterday. All the journos had their fingers crossed that the shooter was white and/or wearing a MAGA hat, because they’ve convinced themselves that’s how the world works. The only dangerous people are the ones they’re scared of.But alas:Whoops. That sound you just heard was thousands of journalists in newsrooms across America sighing in disappointment.This is the wrong sort of lunatic for the mainstream media’s taste. He doesn’t help them politically. A guy who looks like that is supposed to be a victim, not an aggressor. So they’ll...

Two brothers who agreed to attack Jussie Smollett as part of what those brothers now say was a fake hate crime hoax can move forward with a defamation claim against one of Smollett’s attorneys, a federal judge has ruled. According to court records, the two brothers, Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo, sued attorneys Mark Geragos, Tina Glandian, and the Geragos & Geragos Law Firm in 2019. “Mr. Smollett told Plaintiffs, in private, that he needed a favor from them: they were to help him stage a social media hoax and pretend to attack him,” the lawsuit says. “Mr. Smollett’s motivation...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia attracted criticism for using a term widely seen as a racial slur in boasting of the racial diversity those who support former President Donald Trump. Greene, an outspoken Republican champion of Trump, made the comments at the weekend conference of the conservative Turning Point USA youth movement. "When I walked in yesterday, I was like, what kind of people come here?" Greene said. "So I'm walking around and seeing some good people, and I see white people, Black people, brown people, yellow people."

If liberal politicians and Hollywood stars had any shame, they’d be shutting down their social media accounts today. How many times will their rush to judgments be proven false?

If you have been following the US mainstream media, you would be forgiven for not knowing that the Jussie Smollett trial opened just yesterday. There has been scant coverage of the trial largely because the press had embarrassed themselves covering the story of the purported racist and homophobic attack on him in 2019. Since they aren’t too keen on learning lessons and certainly not eager to relive their humiliation, they just stay away from the story. The case merits a quick revision owing to the rapidly evolving or perhaps devolving news cycle. On January 29, 2019, African American actor Jussie...

North Carolina judges struck down the state’s latest photo voter identification law on Friday, agreeing with minority voters that Republicans rammed through rules tainted by racial bias as a way to remain in power. Two of the three trial judges declared the December 2018 law is unconstitutional, even though it was designed to implement a photo voter ID mandate added to the North Carolina Constitution in a referendum just weeks earlier. They said the law intentionally discriminates against Black voters, violating their equal protections. The law “was motivated at least in part by an unconstitutional intent to target African American...

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” that “paranoid” Republicans are attempting to take away the voting rights of Black and Brown Americans because two Democrats won their U.S. Senate races in Georgia. Jackson said, “I want to ask you about voting rights. As you know, President Biden put this front and center those Texas Democrats have put this front and center. They’re calling for a carve-out on the filibuster. You have long called for abolishing the filibuster, at least you have lately. What does that look like specifically, this narrow cave on constitutional issues? Is...
