Ginia Bellafonte just five years ago was beside herself at how Caucasian the line-up of Rockettes dancers was, calling the performance she attended during the Christmas season “an eerie celebration of whiteness.” (‘Tis the season!)
But in a painfully obtuse article this week, the New York Times columnist found nothing remarkable about the obvious racial pattern among a raft of women randomly sucker-punched by men on the streets of her own city. Namely, that the assailants are all black.
Following the death of former football player and murderer O.J. Simpson, the dumb and racially charged hot takes from the cast of ABC’s The View were inevitable. Of course, it was staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) who dredged up the unfounded racial aspects of the case applied by race-hustlers. She even argued that Simpson’s acquittal was fine since, collectively, cops have killed more people than he did.
A CNN contributor sparked outrage on Thursday after saying that OJ Simpson “represented something for the black community … particularly because there were two white people who had been killed.”
Ashley Allison made the comment during the network’s coverage of the death of the 76-year-old Simpson, the disgraced NFL legend who was acquitted in 1995 of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

A lot of Genocidal blacks out there.
This is what happens when you convince people that racism is the cause of all their problems in life. This is #DEI pic.twitter.com/SkT2Dch2zS

As a middle school principal, New York Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman advised against teaching about “white” historical figures like George Washington, Jesus Christ, and Santa Claus. Instead, he used his position to elevate a renowned anti-Semite and cop-killers.
The consulting giant touts its studies purporting to show that race- and gender-conscious hiring leads to greater profits—but it likely has the causation backward.
Last year, McKinsey & Company released a study purporting to demonstrate that corporations with more diverse leadership—more women and racial minorities in executive positions—were also more profitable. The consulting behemoth’s findings were consistent with those of its previous three diversity studies, in 2015, 2018, and 2020, each of which had been cited across industries and government institutions as proof of the supposed financial benefits of race- and gender-conscious hiring policies. Now, a new paper raises questions about McKinsey’s methodology and suggests that its advertised findings may have gotten the causation backward: financial success may lead corporations to embrace diversity efforts, rather than the other way around.
Couple fights to rid Toronto home of heritage status
A couple in an affluent midtown Toronto neighbourhood is asking the city to remove the heritage designation from their century home because they say the original owner was racist.
The two-and-a-half storey, 9,000-square foot house in the Yonge and St. Clair area, was built in 1906 for Stapleton Pitt Caldecott, a former Toronto Board of Trade president who was opposed to immigration, a University of Toronto historian says.
… This $5-million house on Woodlawn Avenue West, in the Yonge and St. Clair area, was commissioned by Stapleton Caldecott in 1906, a man who some believe held anti-immigrant views. He died there the following year.
OMG he was opposed to immigration… “Some believe”. Next.
The couple says they were unaware of the home’s heritage designation. That seems highly unlikely.
No connection to Canada obviously. Ungrateful or what?

There are only a few rules to column-writing. One of the strictest is never to waste time bouncing off the effluent of morons. So, for instance, it is a rule among British columnists not to use the term ‘Owen Jones’ in an article. It is too easy. Every couple of hours there will be another gaseous eruption. For example, this past week Jones, a YouTuber, has been engaged in campaigning to persuade a ‘queer’ British entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest to withdraw from the competition because of Gaza. It is by no means clear how much the citizens of Gaza care for the ‘solidarity’ of a couple of gay blokes in the UK. It is even less clear how anyone withdrawing from Eurovision would convince the Israeli war cabinet to halt the war against Hamas and persuade Hamas to return the hostages. But this is why the ‘Owen Jones’ rule exists. As it’s so easy, opposing him is fundamentally lazy.
It should indeed be a Trump priority.
Is there anything more poisonous or ridiculous than insisting that corporations and the government treat people fairly regardless of race?
Apparently not. An Axios report on the Trump team’s intention to use civil-rights laws to target DEI policies discriminating against whites has occasioned sneering and denunciations.
Humza Yousaf has received more complaints under Scotland’s new hate crime bill than JK Rowling, it was claimed today.
Since the controversial legislation was rolled out on Monday almost 4,000 complaints are said to have been made to Police Scotland, with the force reportedly dealing with 60 complaints on average per hour.
Police sources have now shed light on the nature of the hate crime complaints revealing that the majority relate to the First Minister as well as JK Rowling.

WOW. One of Canada’s top medical schools @QueensUHealth has announced they will discriminate against White people.
They have a special program called QuARMS which is an “Accelerated Route to Medical School” and the qualifications are you must be Black or Indigenous.

The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) medical school recently scheduled a lecture focused on the role “whiteness” played in driving the opioid crisis — but abruptly changed the topic of the lecture just two days before it was supposed to take place and limited attendance to in-person only.
Trump allies are planning to repurpose anti-discrimination laws with a new focus on anti-white discrimination, with former Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller laying the groundwork through his America First Legal group.
Trump allies ‘want to dramatically change the government’s interpretation of Civil Rights-era laws’ to focus on ‘anti-White racism,’ Axios reports.
A key figure in providing a template for action is Miller, who helped shape Trump’s ‘America First’ ideology and who served as a main driver for immigration policy during Trump’s White House tenure, and who has been mentioned as a potential top official in a second term.
This silly old lie is kept on life support by the Liberal-Left. More at Twitchy.
hi! you can’t be racist against white people! thanks for tuning in!

Illegal discrimination is still illegal discrimination even if a corporate HR department wraps it in the language of equity and inclusion. As a reminder of this legal reality, the C-Suite might want to review a recent opinion by a federal appeals court, upholding a jury verdict for a hospital executive who says he was fired merely for being a white male amid a workforce diversity push.
