Florida Republican Rep. Byron Donalds’ wife decried the "racist attacks" she and her husband endure from the left, telling the "haters" to "cry harder." Erika Donalds, who is White, tweeted screenshots of online users attacking her over her skin color on Wednesday, pushing back on the racially-motivated online attacks over her marriage to a Black Republican lawmaker. "Byron and I have been together for 23+ years, and the most racist attacks we experience are always from the left," she wrote. "They can’t accept that a free thinking black man achieves success on his own merits, and they sure as heck...

"64% of the assaults were committed by black individuals, 17% by Asians (Muslim/Arab)," .... Dov Hikind and Americans for Antisemitism broke down a number of the assaults on Jews in New York City, which is the epicenter of antisemitic violence, and the results are revealing. The project documented 194 cases of anti-Jewish assaults in NYC between April 2018 and August 2022, with the perps’ group identities documented in 99 of those assaults. According to the report’s data, 64% of the assaults were committed by black individuals, 17% by Asians (Muslim/Arab), 10% by Hispanics, and 3% by white individuals. The 17%...

A newly released report covering 194 cases of assault against Jews from 2018-2022 revealed the disturbing state of antisemitism in New York City. Americans Against Antisemitism, a grassroots, non-partisan organization launched in 2019, released its 2022 report on antisemitism in New York City, revealing several key findings: Jews not only account for the majority of hate crime victims in NYC (by volume and per capita) but Jews are also attacked on average in more than 70% of police precincts — twice the rate of the next most targeted group. Contrary to common perception, in NYC, the vast majority of perpetrators...

One thing seems certain if the Supreme Court bans affirmative action in college admissions: The only Black men left on campus will be athletes.

How did U.S. exercise trends go from reinforcing white supremacy to celebrating Richard Simmons? That evolution is explored in a new book by a historian of exercise, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of the book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, out Jan. 2023. Nowadays, at the beginning of every New Year, many Americans hit the gym to work off their holiday feasts. This momentum usually starts to fade in mid-January, according to a 2019 analysis of data on fitness tracking apps by Bloomberg. But such new year’s resolutions are pretty new—as is the concept of exercise...

Orchestrated hostility toward Israel: Morocco is not in Palestine You just have to like World Cup outsiders Morocco – don't you? Adding an anti-Semitic touch to the joy makes things difficult. Palestine plays along: Morocco's team after reaching the quarter-finals How could we not be happy that Morocco has one of the eight best football teams in the world ! Finally a team that doesn't come from Europe or South America! In addition - and now follows an interpretation that is surprisingly seldom read at present - a North African team that has gradually chased one colonial power after the...

Elaine Chao, former President Trump’s Transportation secretary, is declining to respond to Trump’s latest use of a racist nickname to attack her and urging the media to not repeat it. Trump on multiple occasions has invoked Chao as he lambastes her husband, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and he did so again on Wednesday evening in a Truth Social post that included a racist nickname for Chao. MEDIA Elaine Chao: Media shouldn’t repeat Trump’s racism BY ZACH SCHONFELD - 12/29/22 10:18 AM ET SHARE TWEET Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his wife, then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao Samuel...

A man was arrested on hate crime charges after, police said, a TikTok video showed him hurling homophobic and racist remarks at a Korean American man and woman dining at a California In-N-Out Burger. Jordan Douglas Krah, 40, of Denver, was taken into custody Monday by San Ramon police and booked at the Martinez Detention Facility on two counts of committing a hate crime, police said in a news release. The arrest stems from an incident on Christmas Eve at an In-N-Out Burger in San Ramon. Arine Kim and her friend Elliot Ha were recording a TikTok video of Ha's...

I ran across this video on Twitter (where cringe goes to multiply) and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cringe in disgust. It perfectly encapsulates a form of White liberal virtue signaling that uses performative self-hatred to project an underlying sense of moral superiority. This video was filmed at a Unitarian Universalist Church in Brookfield WI, and features 3 White women playing Anti-Racist Jeopardy with a White man in the role of quizmaster. I love it because it features white people performing a kind of self-abasement that serves no purpose other than to elevate themselves above the hoi polloi. It...

..... "This government that Bibi and the Smotrichim are establishing is advancing institutionalized racism and taking us from the Zionist dream of Ben Gurion to the racist dream of Smotrich - who is being enabled by a man under criminal indictment who wants to escape justice," Michaeli accused. "You are taking the name of Zionism in vain," she continued, adding, "And you should be the first to know that it is forbidden to take that name in vain. This isn't Zionism - it's racism."

For years, two administrators at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) have been withholding notifications of National Merit awards from the school’s families, most of them Asian, thus denying students the right to use those awards to boost their college-admission prospects and earn scholarships. This episode has emerged amid the school district’s new strategy of “equal outcomes for every student, without exception.” School administrators, for instance, have implemented an “equitable grading” policy that eliminates zeros, gives students a grade of 50 percent just for showing up, and assigns a cryptic code of “NTI” for assignments not turned...

There's no silver cloud for which the identity-politics crowd can't detect a downbeat lining! Take the news of black women being appointed to some of the country's most prestigious positions. You'd think that would be cause for unqualified celebration in liberal circles. But not so fast! On Mehdi Hasan's MSNBC show today, guest host Melissa Murray led a segment on "the glass cliff." The notion is that women, particularly women of color, tend only to be appointed to prestigious positions at institutions that are in crisis, and thereby are being "set up to fail."Get the rest of the story and...

Some version of justice has finally been served for Gibson’s Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio, but it’s clear where the power lies in this country.After six years, justice — or some version of it — has finally been served for Gibson’s Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio. After having its name dragged through the mud for alleged racism because it tried to hold an admitted shoplifter accountable for his crime, the almost 140-year-old family business last week received a $36.6 million settlement from a defamation suit it filed against Oberlin College in 2017. The case was appealed all the way to the Ohio...

Remember the old “Whites Only/Colored Only” signs on water fountains and bathrooms in the old Jim Crow South? Thanks to Google, that kind of open, in-your-face racism is back with a vengeance. Google is so concerned that you not be racist that it is doing the most racist thing a major corporation has done at least since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: it is planning to mark the race of the owners of various businesses so that racists of all varieties can patronize only the stores of their favored group. Have Google’s far-Left ideologues really thought...

The Miami-Dade School Board on Wednesday approved a measure to ensure the American and Florida flags are properly displayed in classrooms and district buildings, only after agreeing that “federally protected flags and classes may be visible” throughout the year.

Robert Griffin III says he didn’t intend to use an anti-black slur during “Monday Night Countdown” on ESPN.

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline ” that former President Donald Trump unleashed racism, authoritarianism and neo-fascism on America. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “My next question, I know the press is hung up. We’re all hung up on the criminal referrals. It seems to a person your perhaps greatest commitment is to is the story, and there’s an impact on what the committee did. We went to school learning about how endangered our democracy really was. We heard from lifelong republicans testifying that story. To you, what is the most important thing that people take from the...

Those who opposed the release of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, notoriously dubbed “the Merchant of Death,” in exchange for former WNBA star Brittney Griner are largely driven by racism and homophobia, according to Democrat consultant and political commentator James Carville. Carville also claimed opposition to the swap “exposed a big big fault in American culture,” and said those opposed are likely “pro-Putin.” Speaking on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta on Saturday, Carville complained that racism and homophobia are significant drivers of opinion in America, suggesting that if Griner was a “blond Chi Omega from SMU” then the reaction would...

It’s been said many times — “Safety first.” And at Pomona College, they’re dedicated to the directive. Apropos of asylum, the elite private Southern California school boasts an association welcoming almost all races: the Students of Color Alliance (SOCA). And the group happens to have a lounge. To access the lounge, an electronic ID is required. In order to attain one, each student must complete a form which requests his or her identity group. The security system was approved by the administration last month; ClaremontSOCA announced as much on Instagram: Previously, there was no standardized process for granting swipe access...
