For decades, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has ranked as one of the nation’s preeminent theater institutions, drawing hundreds of thousands of theatergoers each year to scenic Ashland to see the classics performed. But that sterling reputation is in jeopardy as the company teeters on the brink of Chapter 11 bankruptcy following a troubled tenure by its recently departed artistic director, Nataki Garrett.
MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan declared Twitter’s Community Notes feature a “weapon of the Right” after fact-checking his lie about white-on-white violence in America.
Recently, Hasan responded to a clip from Bill Maher during which the latter criticized uncontrolled crime in Chicago. Hasan found Maher’s comments to be racist. He then tweeted a clip of his “Offensive Tropes” segment where he claimed white-on-white crime stats are almost identical to that of black-on-black.
A comment by Adjoa Andoh, the Bridgerton actress, about the “terribly white” royal balcony at Buckingham Palace after the coronation has become the most complained about broadcast moment of the year.
Ofcom, the media regulator, has received 4,165 complaints about Andoh’s remark on the diversity gap between the guests at Westminster Abbey and the moment the royals appeared on the balcony to greet the crowds. The authority will consider whether an investigation is necessary.
As a follow-up to their earlier conversation on Monday where they denied that mental illness played a key role in mass shootings, even proclaiming that the mentally ill were immune from committing mass shootings, the radical cast of ABC’s The View dove to a new level of lunacy as faux-conservative co-host Ana Navarro proclaimed that blacks and Hispanics were not “immune” from “being a white supremacist.” It’s an accusation that has been leveled at black and Hispanics just for voting Republican.
Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh called the Royal family’s balcony appearance during the Coronation “terribly white”.
The actress, who plays a Regency duchess in the Netflix series Bridgerton, offered her opinions during ITV’s coverage of the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Andoh said that the appearance of the Royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace following the ceremony was “terribly white”.
I was looking for a reason not to watch Bridgerton.
Pace drama queen AOC, Jordan Neely was not murdered. Yet, he did die at the hands of another man. The circumstances under which that happened are complicated. Of those circumstances, the dangerous setting that Neely further imperiled before his fateful confrontation is probably the most consequential: an under-policed New York City subway system that is regressing to late 20th century mayhem — except with the add-on of a mental-health crisis decades in the making.
The least consequential of the circumstances, at least in the decisive moments, was race.
A PRETTY cast-iron rule in life is that people are what they accuse you of.
Nowhere is this truer than in the modern Left’s obsession with calling everyone else a racist.
If you believe in controlled borders you are a “racist”.
If you believe in limiting immigration you are a “racist”.
If you are proud of your country and its history then you are a “racist”.
You could sub “The Toronto Star” for The Guardian and not have to change a thing.
A TikTok user named Paulina was recently terrorized beyond imagining while at the Rainbow Oaks Country Market, in Fallbrook, California. No, she wasn’t shot at by an illegal alien with an illegal gun. Nor was she beaten by screaming men claiming to be women. This was even worse than being misgendered. The National Anthem played on the restaurant’s television and sound system, and diners stopped eating, stood up, and placed their hands over their hearts. For Paulina, this triggered fear and, on her part, racism. That’s depressing. Even more depressing is that the most popular commenters shared her fear, outrage, and disgust.
A celebrated Black Lives Matter activist ruined a white student’s life by claiming she heard her threaten to run them over – only to later admit she may have misheard.
Zyahna Bryant, then 19, claimed she heard fellow University of Virginia student Morgan Bettinger threaten protesters by saying they’d ‘make good speedbumps,’ in July 2020 while George Floyd protests took place in Charlottesville.
Although Bettinger did admit during a student misconduct trial that she had said something similar to a truck driver that was blocking the road, she insists she hadn’t said it as a threat.
Ya know Scott Adams may be right.
A guest on NPR’s show Fresh Air promoted the idea that the desire to be thin stems from white supremacy while discussing how parents should communicate weight with their children.
Journalist Virginia Sole-Smith appeared on the show on Tuesday to discuss her new book Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture which includes the theory that fat phobia can be traced back to the end of slavery in the US.

University of Minnesota academics were forced to retract an article they wrote about “structural racism” at the institution because its claims were “inaccurate, misleading, or false,” according to a note on the withdrawn article.
The article in question was written in the journal of Health Services Research by UM employees with doctoral degrees who focus on racial equity: Stuart Grande, a senior lecturer, Janette Dill, an associate professor, and Tongtan Chantarat, a research scientist.
What a grift.
Despite her whining to the contrary, View co-host Sunny Hostin is a staunch racist and shows it often from her ABC platform. On Friday’s edition of the show, she spewed her toxic racism again when she suggested the problem with gun owners in America was that they had white skin and were “radicalized” by Fox News, thus a danger to the country.

Is Britain racist? A major two-year study that set out to answer this question was published last week. It claims to be the most comprehensive account of racial inequality in the UK of the past quarter of a century. Its conclusion, the Guardian reports, is that Britain is ‘not close to being a racially just society’. Yet the data uncovered by the study suggest precisely the opposite – that Britain is not a racist country.
A University of Texas psychology professor is apologizing to her students after including a question on a quiz that stated “wealthy white men” are “most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others.”
