A few weeks ago, internet race hustler Rashad Richey of The Young Turks defamed a pregnant nurse getting off of a 12-hour shift who was accosted by a band of urban youths. A dispute over the rental of a city “e-bike” ensued.
What an unnamed teacher said to Muslim students at Londonderry Junior High tells us a lot about the true nature of tolerance among “progressives.”
Our enlightened “progressives” are all in favour of multiculturalism until the values of new Canadians conflict with today’s “progressive” view of sacred causes.
So long as ethnic and racialized Canadians are useful pawns in “progressive” crusades against “white privilege,” colonialism and capitalism, for instance, “progressives” are minorities’ greatest champions.
The woke war on the past reaches historic proportions.
After canceling most people who lived in the last two centuries for not being sufficiently accepting of the current dogma, woke academia has turned its attention to the distant past.
After accusing Isaac Newton and Robert Burns of being complicit in slavery, the British woke war on the past has gone bigger. Edinburgh University had already renamed David Hume Tower after Black Lives Matter activists accused the philosopher, born in 1711, of racism. The Sir Francis Drake Primary School had to change its name and William Gladstone is next.
All of a sudden, the obsession with whites as a Satanic collective has become a national fad.
One of the tenets of the early civil rights movement some 65 years ago was ending racial stereotyping.
When Martin Luther King, Jr. called for emphasizing the “content of our character” over “the color of our skin,” the subtext was “stop judging people as a faceless collective on the basis of their superficial appearance and instead look to them as individuals with unique characters.”
To the social justice-obsessed left, omnipresent White Supremacy™ is the boogeyman that infiltrates every aspect of life. This is literal; mathematics, punctuality, and the scientific method have all been decried at various times in recent history as the tools of White Supremacy™.
As I recently covered at Armageddon Prose, even waking up early is framed as a racist hate crime against BIPOCs.
Now, the White Supremacist™ label has expanded to include Mexicans, Indians, and blacks.

We have reached the point where even white people hate white people.
We are accustomed to defining racism as discrimination aimed exclusively at black people and other minorities. The definition must be expanded to include discrimination against whites, which is just as bad as discrimination against blacks or anyone else. What the political left calls “anti-racism” is really code language for racism against white people. An anti-white racial inquisition is poisoning America by contributing to an already divided nation. According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans who agree that black-white relations are good is at a 20-year low.
… My son was interested in learning Java programming through SummerUP. But when we got to the online application process, it requested he confirm his identity as black. It turns out the entire program is only available to black students.
The RAF instructed staff to stop hiring “useless white male pilots” in a leaked email seen by The Telegraph.
In an email dated Jan 19, 2021, Squadron Leader Andrew Harwin, who worked in the Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre, sent an email to his colleagues, where he wrote: “I noted that the boards have recently been predominantly white male heavy.
“If we don’t have enough BAME and female to board then we need to make the decision to pause boarding and seek more BAME and female from the RAF.
In any circumstance, neither motive nor evidence matters, only the privilege status associated with a person’s skin color.
Apparently, every negative social interaction between a white person and a black person can be explained by racism.
Take the case of Sarah Comrie, a physician’s assistant at Bellevue Hospital in New York City, who was branded a “Karen” (a racist middle-class white woman) after a disagreement with a group of young men over a Citi Bike. Comrie, who is six months pregnant, had just finished a twelve-hour shift at the hospital and was trying to leave on a bike that her lawyer has since produced evidence showing she rented, when a group of young men confronted her, claiming they had rented the bike. A struggle ensued during which Comrie called for help, expressed distress as one of the men brushed against her baby bump, started crying, and dismounted the bike.
Leaning into the stereotype of white liberals being the most obsessed with race, Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Joseph Gerth used his Thursday column to smear Kentucky Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron (R) as a betrayal to his black skin for incorrect views on education, health care, policing, and welfare to instead embody “the Black man who doesn’t scare white people.”
One of the lines in The Communist Manifesto I return to time and time again is this:
The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.
Former blackface-wearing comedian Joy Behar said Sen. Tim Scott and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas don’t get what being Black means in America.
The left-wing co-host of “The View” mentioned the two men’s ignorance about being Black in responding to an interview Mr. Scott gave with NBC’s Tom Llamas the day he announced his candidacy for the president, in which Scott said “what people really want is an optimistic positive conservative.”
Democratic Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and other progressive — read “Democrat” — legislators, Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), are out there demanding $14 trillion in reparations for Black Americans.
Bush said at a press conference that there was a “moral and legal obligation” to provide reparations to Black Americans for slavery.
Ex-Marine Daniel Penny insisted to The Post Saturday that the chokehold killing of Jordan Neely had nothing to do with race — and everything to do with a broken system “that so desperately failed us.”
In his first public comments since the caught-on-video May 1 tragedy on an F train, Penny was both soft-spoken and stoic about being at the center of a political and racial firestorm, as he faces criminal charges that could send him to prison for up to 15 years.
