Black People Say Casey Anthony Trial Proves America Is Racist or Something

Having called her the “O.J. Simpson of baby-killers,” I honestly didn’t even think anyone could actually imagine a racial angle to the bizarre media circus that was the Casey Anthony trial. Evidently I was wrong: I logged onto Twitter precisely as the verdict in Casey Anthony’s trial was announced. A good portion of the reactions I read […]

Milwaukee Celebrated 4th of July With Fireworks, Looting, Racial Mob Violence

Guess which was more dangerous? Shaina Perry remembers the punch to her face, blood streaming from a cut over her eye, her backpack with her asthma inhaler, debit card and cellphone stolen, and then the laughter. “They just said ‘Oh, white girl bleeds a lot,’?” said Perry, 22, who was attacked at Kilbourn Reservoir Park […]

Clay Waters at Newsbusters explains “the rumor that Obama was not a U.S. citizen was initially spread in April 2008 by a group of Hillary Clinton supporters,” which is something to keep in mind the next time someone claims “raaaaacism” is the besetting sin of Republicans. The media often promote all manner of myths that […]

Hateful Atrocity as Transvestite Beaten by Christian Fundamentalists. Oh, Wait …

By now you’ve probably seen the viral video in which a woman (or, according to the guy who shot the video, a transvestite) was beaten senseless by two teenage girls in a McDonald’s restaurant: It appears that the victim used the women’s restroom, and these two teenagers decided to appoint themselves the Anti-Drag-Queen Vigilante Committee […]

While checking Memeorandum to keep track of the latest government shutdown developments Friday, I saw this headline at the liberal Talking Points Memo blog: Nearly Half Of Mississippi Republicans Think Interracial Marriage Should Be Illegal Hmmmmm.
