The Racism Industry’s Biggest Lies

Nothing has been more common during the last years than accusations of “racism.” President Biden has said that he is going to lead a “great battle…to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country.” This great “anti-racism” crusade is not directed at anti-Semites who despise Jews and blame the ills of the world on them. Nor is it aimed at the Nation of Islam, the Black Muslims, who hate whites and especially Jews. Yet these cases would seem to qualify as racism. The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines “racism” as “Belief in superiority of a particular race; antagonism between different races.” The Random House Dictionary of the American Language defines “racism” as “a belief that human races have distinctive characteristics that determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.”

Magnum P.I. Reboot Glorifies BLM ‘Activism,’ Slams Police: The ‘System Is Broken’

CBS’s Magnum P.I. reboot teased viewers in Friday night’s episode, “The Long Way Home,” by making it seem like they might follow in the footsteps of their fellow cop drama Blue Bloods and depict the unfair treatment police and their loved ones are facing in today’s anti-cop culture. But sadly, they not only dropped the ball, they kicked it out of the park by instead stating, “the system is broken,” and defending BLM activism, which has led to violence and riots, as “a form of patriotism.”

Will Black Lives Matter Foundation’s Donation Surge Fuel Anti-Semitism?

Will Black Lives Matter Foundation’s Donation Surge Fuel Anti-Semitism?

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement generated headlines last week when it issued a report announcing it raised $90 million in 2020.

While the general slogan and cause may attract support from a wide swath of the American public – polling last fall showed about 50 percent favorability – the group’s leadership harbors some extreme viewpoints, especially when it comes to Israel.

I say count on it.

Police brutality against black people happens way less than public thinks

Social movements tap into our most primitive emotions, obscuring the complexities of sociopolitical problems. Reason is traded for ideological fervor and skepticism is swapped with religious dogma. Such was the case in 2020 in the wake of several high-profile cases of alleged police brutality involving black victims. Across the US and Western countries worldwide, activists and average citizens alike vigorously protested against a perceived (but empirically refuted) “epidemic of racist police killings.”

Virginia College Forfeits Basketball Game After Suspending Players For Kneeling During Anthem

Bluefield College, a small Baptist liberal arts school nestled in the Appalachian mountains in Bluefield, Virginia doesn’t seem to be a likely place to make national news. But when players on the men’s basketball team took a knee during the playing of the national anthem — after being warned several times it was against school policy — the school president promptly suspended the players and forfeited a game.

#MeToo and #BLM Were Pretexts for Massive Cultural Power Grabs

The hashtag identity politics activism that generated #MeToo and then #BLM has little to show for it except increased misery. MeToo got rid of a handful of real monsters like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, whose abuses were hardly a secret, a group of second-tier creeps like Charlie Rose whose abuses were more obnoxious than dangerous, and ended up giving a pass to other public figures whose political standing was more secure, like Neil deGrasse Tyson, who has his career fully restored to him. It also scapegoated countless people over minor, perceived, or invented offenses while creating a state of victimhood.

Saving Rugby from BLM Marxism

Governors of boarding schools are supposed to be custodians, not political activists

As an alumnus of Rugby School, I sometimes take a look at its website to receive updates and news. The kind of thing that piques my interest is seeing which members of staff have left or retired, or reading a news update about plans to construct a new facility.

Yet on my most recent visit I was dismayed to see a “Statement from the Board on Black Lives Matter” emblazoned on the front page. After expressing their “deep sadness” over the death of George Floyd, the Governors wax lyrical about widespread racial injustice before promising to launch a “significant research project into the relationship between our own institutional history and race, including re-assessing the role of [Old Rugbeans] in Britain’s complex history.”

Unspeakable Truths about Racial Inequality in America

Unspeakable Truths about Racial Inequality in America

“…Socially mediated behavioral issues lie at the root of today’s racial inequality problem. They are real and must be faced squarely if we are to grasp why racial disparities persist. This is a painful necessity. Activists on the Left of American politics claim that “white supremacy,” “implicit bias,” and old-fashioned “anti-black racism” are sufficient to account for black disadvantage. But this is a bluff that relies on “cancel culture” to be sustained. Those making such arguments are, in effect, daring you to disagree with them. They are threatening to “cancel” you if you do not accept their account: You must be a “racist”; you must believe something is intrinsically wrong with black people if you do not attribute pathological behavior among them to systemic injustice. You must think blacks are inferior, for how else could one explain the disparities? “Blaming the victim” is the offense they will convict you of, if you’re lucky.”

Long read worth your time.

‘Systemic racism’ is a conspiracy theory

The narrative behind movements like Black Lives Matter contends that hundreds – if not thousands – of black Americans are murdered by the state on an annual basis, that harassment and abuse of blacks by whites is constant, and that virtually all gaps in performance between racial groups must reflect hidden racism. These claims are almost universally false. But they have been accepted as conventional wisdom.

Meet the BLM Activist Who Helped Direct the January 6 Capitol Incident

The events of January 6 were never as straightforward as they were depicted by those seeking an excuse to criminalize political opposition. Consider this characterization of the day: “Trump Supporters and Proud Boys stormed the United States Capitol and attempted a coup on our Democracy. Jan 6th, 2021, the moment that changed America forever.”

Those lines by themselves are not especially interesting. It’s who wrote them that should raise eyebrows.

Meet John E. Sullivan, founder of Insurgence USA.

INSURRECTION: BLM Mob Swarms D.C. Streets, Chants ‘If We Don’t Get It, Burn It Down’

A mob of Black Lives Matter activists took to the streets of Washington, D.C. Saturday night to yell at police and harass outdoor diners while chanting insurrectionist slogans such as “if we don’t get it, burn it down.” Like most similar incidents involving Black lives Matter, the corporate media took zero interest in covering the march and accompanying threats of violence.
