The Chinese industrial city of Guangzhou has become unsafe for black people. Visitors and workers from Africa were recently kicked out of their hotels and apartments because of the rumors that the coronavirus was sweeping through the black community. There have also been several racial incidents in the city as African nations and blacks in America have sounded an alarm about the racism. It's not a very well kept secret that Chinese society is racist. They are equal opportunity haters, seeing all races -- white, black, brown, red -- as inferior. They're usually much too polite and courteous to make...

Every single one in this photo will get what is coming to them," read the ominous Instagram message sent to several students of color at the University of La Verne, east of Los Angeles, in March 2019. The accompanying black-and-white photo was of a group of outspoken students who were well-known on campus for organizing anti-racism protests. Seen in the photo: Anayeli Dominguez Peña, a Mexican-American graduate student and vocal social-justice campaigner. She had been instrumental in organizing numerous protests in the Decolonize ULV group she co-led. "That wet back bitch Anayeli and that n---r Jasmine need to SHUT THEIR...

There were 1,300 direct flights to 17 cities before President Trump’s travel restrictions. Since then, nearly 40,000 Americans and other authorized travelers have made the trip. Since Chinese officials disclosed the outbreak of a mysterious pneumonialike illness to international health officials on New Year’s Eve, at least 430,000 people have arrived in the United States on direct flights from China, including nearly 40,000 in the two months after President Trump imposed restrictions on such travel, according to an analysis of data collected in both countries. Of course, this travel ban was labeled as racists by the liberals and the mainstream...

A video showing African children chanting racist slogans in Chinese sparked a wave of anger on social media when it was posted in mid-February. The FRANCE 24 Observers team investigated this video as well as the wider Chinese market for videos of African children. On 16 February, the Ghanaian YouTuber Wode Maya posted a video that one of his followers had sent him. The first few seconds of the video show a group of 18 children wearing red outfits decorated with what appear to be white dragons. In the middle of the group, there is a blackboard with a phrase...

Dr. Anthony Fauci took time during Tuesday's White House coronavirus press briefing to draw attention to societal problems, delving into how African Americans in some states had been harder hit by the novel coronavirus in terms of intensive-care intubations and risk of death compared with the rest of the population. In Chicago, more than half of all COVID-19 positive test results and 72% of recorded virus-related deaths have been among African Americans, who make up just 32% of the city's population and 15% for the state of Illinois. In parts of Wisconsin, the numbers have been even more disproportionate. Seventy-three...

Rev. Franklin Graham’s charity is making sure Alaska residents have the supplies they need to fight the coronavirus. Tuesday on Facebook, Graham wrote that workers with Samaritan’s Purse had delivered more than eight tons of medical supplies to be distributed throughout rural Alaskan communities in the next few days: “This is going to the native villages here in Alaska that are so vulnerable with this virus,” he said. “We love this state, and we want the people here, the residents, especially those in the villages, to know that Jesus Christ loves you very much and we appreciate all the support...

According to a report on Channel 12 News, the Palestinian Authority will forbid all entry of Israeli goods into the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority from this evening, in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus...

True to form, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is playing the "a crisis is a terrible thing to waste" game and is calling for reparations because minorities are getting the coronavirus at a faster rate than white people. Reparations for being sick, reparations for being a distant ancestor of a former slave, reparations for being a victim of "redlining," reparations for business inequalities -- eventually she's going to run out of white people's money to take. But that won't deter our fearless warrior queen.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is demanding the racial data of those contracting the novel coronavirus, contending that it is “critical to ensuring an equitable and just response to this crisis across the board.” While the virus appears to be no respecter of persons, infecting more than one million people globally, Warren believes it is “critical” to have racial data to properly respond to the pandemic. “Our health care system is rife with racial disparities. Racial data on coronavirus will be critical to ensuring an equitable and just response to this crisis across the board,” she wrote in a tweet, referencing...

We can now add the coronavirus to the ongoing saga of "everything is racist." On her MSNBC show this morning, Joy Reid, speaking with failed presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, noted that the rates of coronavirus infections and deaths are disproportionately high among African-Americans.Replying, Gillibrand blamed it on "institutional racism," in both health care and our economy. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) announced the creation of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif), leader of this year's unsuccessful attempt to remove Trump from office via impeachment, is expected to head up this ad hoc committee. President Trump has questioned the timing of this announcement and suggested that "we win the war against this virus rather than wasting precious time and scarce resources trying to allocate blame now. After we've won this war we can assess what went wrong and what went right so we can be better...

A West Virginia middle school sent students an online lesson that accused Republicans of promoting discrimination against Asian-Americans by referring to the coronavirus as a "Chinese virus." Stephanie Laney, the parent of an eighth grader at Hurricane Middle School, sent me a copy of the assignment her daughter received in English class. Here’s a link to the assignment.Like many students around the country, Stephanie's daughter is currently attending classes online due to the coronavirus. The lesson was created by newsela, an education-based organization that provides classroom content. The lesson focused on a story written by the Texas Tribune titled, "Asian Americans say some politicians...

(NEWSER) – Democratic lawmakers are calling out an apparent lack of racial data that they say is needed to monitor and address disparities in the national response to the coronavirus outbreak. ...

When the Coronavirus entered most Americans’ radars, the deadly pandemic was largely contained to China. To try to keep the virus from entering America, President Trump on January 31st announced a ban on travel from China to the U.S. The move was almost reflexively panned as “racist,” “xenophobic,” and not in line with science. More than a month and a half later, it’s now widely acknowledged that limiting travel from “cluster” regions is one of the only ways to slow the virus’ rapid spread, and that this travel ban helped the United States gain time to prepare its defenses. Americans...

A reporter for One America News Network asked President Trump if he thought the term "Chinese food" was racist during a line of questioning centering on the president's use of the phrase "China virus" to describe the coronavirus. Chanel Rion, OANN's White House correspondent, asked the question of the president during Thursday's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing. Rion, who spent part of her childhood living in South Korea, asked, "Do you consider the term 'Chinese food' racist because it's food that originates in China?" "No," the president answered before she finished the question. "I don’t think it’s racist at...

The Centers for Disease Control has a $6.6 billion budget and one job which it messes up every time. The last time the CDC had a serious workout was six years ago during the Ebola crisis. Back then CDC guidelines allowed medical personnel infected with Ebola to avoid a quarantine and interact with Americans until they showed undeniable symptoms of the disease. There were no protocols in place for treating the potentially infected resulting in the further spread of the disease inside the United States. At the height of the crisis, confidence in the CDC fell to 37%. Meanwhile, CDC...

Leary of the coronavirus, some people are avoiding eating in Chinese restaurants. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has branded people who do this "racists." She, herself, doesn't eat in Chinese restaurants, but insisted "I'm not racist because only whites can be racist." "Actually, it would be cultural inappropriate for me, a person of Puerto Rican descent, to eat Chinese food," she maintained. "I only eat Puerto Rican food, as is appropriate for a person of my racial background." if you missed any of this week's other semi-news/semi-satire posts you can find them at... http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php?topic=394999.0

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) demanded that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) apologize for mentioning that the coronavirus originated in China. "Bigoted statements which spread misinformation and blame Asians for the coronavirus make us all less safe," she claimed. "This is just more of Trump's 'America first' garbage. The Chinese government doesn't agree that this disease originated in their country. Their theory is that the US Army covertly introduced the coronavirus by planting infected bats in Wuhan restaurants where unsuspecting gourmands would eat them and get sick." "Sadly, McCarthy isn't the only racist to unfairly implicate China," the Speaker...

Author Stephen King tried dunking on President Trump during his address at the White House on Friday, but it quickly backfired when his claim about the coronavirus response team was proven wrong. "Note that Trump’s coronavirus team is all male, all old, and all white," King tweeted during Trump's press conference. The president was in the middle of discussing the pandemic and his declaration of a national emergency. Behind him stood several members of his coronavirus task force, including Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Seema Verma, who is neither male nor white. Just minutes after King's tweet, Dr. Deborah...

Washington, DC - On February 27, 2020, I attended a White House Roundtable discussion that included other black influencers and leaders.   The meeting concluded in prayer which I was honored to lead. Following this rare opportunity came the black leftists’ ad hominem attacks to bully or dictate black thought in America and dampen support for the president.  This is a hard task on both scores and they now know it.  This president has demonstrably changed the lives of all Americans with record low unemployment created by 6.7 million new jobs so far. President Trump resuscitated our HBCUs by approving multi-year...
