Tyre Nichols and the new black-cop white supremacy

America will learn all the wrong lessons from this tragedy

Racism has become an unfalsifiable proposition. Such is the central take-away from the race industry’s tortured reaction to a brutal police beating in Memphis, Tennessee.
Five Memphis officers responded to what was initially reported as a car driving the wrong way down a street. The officers’ tactics during the stop of driver Tyre Nichols, captured on video, were an abomination: while shouting contradictory commands, the officers immediately escalated their use of force without apparent cause.

The Infinite Elasticity of ‘White Supremacy’

From Ron DeSantis to Memphis, it’s an all-purpose smear.

It’s a struggle to remain shocked by things that are outrageous but inevitable and routine in our political culture — yet it’s still worth the effort.

Falling firmly in that category are the reflexive smears against Florida governor Ron DeSantis as a “white supremacist” for the offense of rejecting a pilot AP course in African-American studies as originally written.

The West is doomed if it blames all its problems on Evil White Males

… But here’s the thing. The evil “whiteness” stuff is getting out of hand. Everywhere one looks there are excesses. Take the decolonised university courses that seek to purge Dead White Men (the intellectual cousin of the Evil White Male) from the curriculum. Or the obsession with toppling statues of figures such as Cecil Rhodes. That’s before we get onto the full-blown anti-white discrimination. When I attended a colourism workshop at my old university not long ago, mixed race women, including me, were prohibited from speaking on account of our “proximity to whiteness”. Even worse is the trend towards barring white people from black spaces altogether. Two Canadian theatres have sparked an outcry by limiting performances to an “all black-identifying audience”.

Race storm erupts after Andrea Riseborough’s best actress Oscar nomination

The Academy Awards has found itself at the centre of race row after Andrea Riseborough’s unexpected nomination for a best actress Oscar for her performance in To Leslie, seemingly at the expense of Viola Davis for The Woman King and Danielle Deadwyler for Till.

Following the Oscars nominations announcement last Tuesday, Till director Chinonye Chukwu denounced the film industry for “upholding whiteness and perpetuating an unabashed misogyny towards Black women”, and in a lengthy comment piece in the LA Times film critic Robert Daniels wrote: “Although it’s easy to point a finger at Riseborough for taking a slot from Black women, broken systems persist when we focus our ire on individuals … what does it say that the Black women who did everything the institution asks of them – luxury dinners, private Academy screenings, meet-and-greets, splashy television spots and magazine profiles – are ignored when someone who did everything outside of the system is rewarded?”

The Horror! Apparently some white women actors didn’t vote for black actors and actually voted for a white women! GASP!

Racist Whoopi: White People Need Beatings Before Police Reform

ABC and Disney are tolerant of racism when it comes from their black personalities. That much was again proven on Monday’s The View when co-host Whoopi Goldberg kicked off the show by talking about the police killing of Tyre Nichols. According to Goldberg, police reform wouldn’t happen until white people were getting beaten by police like black people were.

Canadian theater sparks outrage after announcing black-only performances

A taxpayer-funded Canadian theater organization has sparked outrage after announcing an event that will only allow “Black-identifying audiences” to attend.

The National Arts Centre in Ottawa is putting on a “Black Out” night at its Babs Asper Theatre on Feb. 17 — the middle of Black History Month — for the performance of “Is God Is,” a play written by and starring Black women.

“A Black Out is an open invitation to Black-identifying audiences to come and experience performances with their community,” the theater announced earlier this month.

Van Jones at CNN: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism

Because of course.

One of the sad facts about anti-Black racism is that Black people ourselves are not immune to its pernicious effects. Society’s message that Black people are inferior, unworthy and dangerous is pervasive. Over many decades, numerous experiments have shown that these ideas can infiltrate Black minds as well as White. Self-hatred is a real thing.

That’s why a Black store owner might regard customers of his same race with suspicion, while treating his White patrons with deference. Black people can harbor anti-Black sentiments and can act on those feelings in harmful ways.

Black cops are often socialized in police departments that view certain neighborhoods as war zones. In those departments, few officers get disciplined for dishing out “street justice” in certain precincts — often populated by Black, brown or low-income people — where there is a tacit understanding that the “rulebook” simply doesn’t apply.

Cops of all colors, including Black police officers, internalize those messages — and sometimes act on them. In fact, in Black neighborhoods, the phenomenon of brutal Black cops singling out young Black men for abuse is nothing new.

JIVANI: Trudeau administration funding racial segregation

Racial segregation is not a sign of progress.

I can’t believe this needs to be said in 2023. But, apparently, it does.

For years now, Canadian institutions have surrendered to the demands of critical race theorists and other so-called progressives who argue Canada is a “systemically racist” country.

A school board member who is facing calls to resign after tweeting that ‘whiteness is evil’ has revealed how her ex-husband of 16 years opened her eyes to how ‘whiteness harms and destroys.’

Kesha Hamilton, 41, from Michigan, hit headlines last week after writing a series of inflammatory tweets in which she claimed Caucasian people were more dangerous than ‘wild animals.’

The tweets have still not been deleted from her public profile and Hamilton told DailyMail.com she will not ‘apologize for something which is true.’

Guardian in ‘institutional racism’ storm

Oh dear. It seems that the world’s wokest newspaper is in a bit of a mess of its own making. Stung by criticism of its historic slave trade links and support for the Confederacy in 2020, the Guardian resolved to create an editorial project on its past. This included an upcoming podcast about the connections between its founder, John Edward Taylor, and transatlantic slavery. But in an unfortunate twist, three producers who were working on the series have accused the holier-than-thou media outlet of ‘institutional racism.’

Biden Admin Blasts Florida for Rejecting “Rape the White Girls” Poet

“Rape the white girls. Rape / their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.”

The media is still attacking Gov. DeSantis for rejecting an AP African-American class over BLM, queer theory, police defunding and general racism. The governor’s people have yet to note that it includes the writings of domestic terrorist Angela Davis or racist Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Asian White Supremacist attacks Asians

A horrific mass shooting took place at a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park, CA, which is located near Los Angeles.

Ten people were killed, and at least that many were injured. The victims were Asian, and the internet exploded with both horror and outrage at this example of growing anti-Asian hate. Time to ban White people or something.

A Florida bakery kicked out a Black man

Gianno Caldwell is one of the bravest people in America. How do I know that? Because he’s an openly conservative Black man, a Fox news political analyst and political podcaster, an enemy of PC culture, and the author of a book advising Republicans how to bring disenchanted Black Democrats back to the Republican part. Those views saw him kicked out of a North Miami bakery.

Parents line up to slam racist Michigan school board member for saying ‘whiteness is evil’ and that white people are more dangerous than WILD ANIMALS

Parents demanded a Michigan school board member was fired on Tuesday after she tweeted ‘whiteness is evil’ and insisted Caucasian people are more dangerous than wild animals’.

Kesha Hamilton has written a series of inflammatory posts on the social media site claiming whiteness was ‘synonymous with racism’ and urging people to ‘be safe’ around ‘white folks’.

Hamilton, whose ex-husband is white, faced parents and teachers in a tense board meeting for Jackson Public Schools which required extra security due to protests staged at the school by a far-right group.
