Explosive: Obama’s Mentor Derrick Bell on ‘Jewish Neoconservative Racists’

John Podhoretz at Commentary on the controversy unleashed by the Breitbart.com video: Michael Powell of the New York Times reflected conventional opinion in liberal media circles when he tweeted: “Derrick Bell, Radical? We’re to pretend our history cleansed? He fought 4 Civil Rights in Mississippi.” It is incumbent on Powell and others, if they want […]

Busted by Twitchy: @Soledad_OBrien Loves Her Some ‘Critical Race Theory’

Hey, remember when CNN’s Soledad O’Brien melted down on TV and tried to depict Joel Pollak as a racist? Wasn’t that awesome? Well, here’s some more awesomeness: Much like Barack Obama, Soledad O’Brien is a huge fan of Professor Derrick Bell, the “critical race theory” guy the Breitbart.com video was all about. The Internet doesn’t forget, and […]

Affirmative Action Is Raaaaacism

by Smitty That’s a drum we cannot over-flog: The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 24% of Likely U.S. Voters favor applying affirmative action policies to college admissions. Putting government in charge of raaaaacism management, in the form of Affirmative Action, or some other falsehood, just distorts the economy and destroys civic […]

The SNL Lin-sanity Sketch

by Smitty Ace was on about the Asian-American Journalists Association taking themselves way too seriously. Commenter #9, rockmom, pointed out that SNL had doen this. The idea that you just treat people respectfully, apologize when confusion arises, and graciously forgive those who step on your toes a bit just seems lost. I guess that was […]

An Idiot Obsessed With Commenters

What can we say about Charles Johnson’s increasingly desperate efforts to simulate relevance? We will now examine (a) what happened, (b) what Charles Johnson wants us to believe happened, and (c) what the discrepancy between (a) and (b) tells us about Charles Johnson’s pathetic idiocy. OK, what happened: Fox News posted a story on its Web […]

Notorious Right-Winger Promotes Hateful Racist Stereotypes

What kind of bigoted hatemonger would dare to promote the stereotype that African-Americans enjoy dressing up in colorful clothing and engaging in outrageous dancing to simplistic songs with pulsating rhythms? That man’s name would be the late, great Don Cornelius: Pamela Geller pays tribute to the entertainment impressario whose weekly TV program was the Fabulous Funkadelic […]

A Note On Raaaaacism

by Smitty Legal Insurrection has a chilling video about raaaaacism and a prominent GOP candidate, of whom I’m not fan. One of the fascinating general questions about political leadership, and cutting across a variety of issues and candidates, is the notion of repentance. Mitt, in the linked clip, is all but called a raaaaacist. Ron […]

Affirmative Action Is White Collar Welfare

by Smitty I don’t see the contradiction in saying that we will not discriminate, in a negative sense, while wanting the most qualified employees available, in the positive sense. These are ideas applied on a per-individual basis. Those ideas are applied in series, and the quota is far more important. Things go pear-shaped when companies […]
