Immigration Yes, Multiculturalism No

America benefits from immigration—when it thoroughly vets newcomers.

Despite being a lifelong New Yorker, I’ve been to Ellis Island only once, about 25 years ago, when some of my wife’s relatives were visiting. Wokeness, then known as political correctness, was already setting in, and immigration was becoming an issue in the culture wars. So, though I harbored warm feelings about immigrants and their contributions to this country, I steeled myself for an insufferable “celebration of diversity” and harangue about American nativism.

Ripping Off the Veil – A British classical music organization exposes the sordid business behind all racial-preference regimes.

Racial preferences have been almost impossible to dislodge because their human costs are usually hidden. College admissions officers don’t inform rejected student applicants that they were turned down to make room for diversity admits. An HR office does not tell job seekers or the company’s own employees that they were not hired or promoted because they would add nothing to the company’s diversity metrics. The rejected applicants may suspect that they didn’t get a desired position because of a racial preference, but they can rarely be 100 percent sure.

NFL Agents Accuse League of ‘Bullsh*t’ Woke Diversity and Race Agenda

Several sports agents have accused the NFL of failing to follow through on the woke agenda they adopted in the wake of the police-involved death of Minneapolis man George Floyd.

Last year, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell claimed that the league would up its game on left-wing causes and even apologized for “not listening to NFL players” and their protests against America during the playing of the national anthem.

Goodell also announced a big increase in the millions the league was going to spend on woke causes and social justice initiatives. In addition, the NFL began adding the so-called “black national anthem” to its pre-game ceremonies, played right after the national anthem.

New heads of Toronto CSIS office say they want to hire a more diverse group of spies

When Katherine Hannah and Zahra Musaji first started at the Canadian Security and Intelligence Agency back in 1999, they couldn’t have told you what colour the carpet was on the management levels.

Hannah said they were told at the time that women didn’t work in counterterrorism at CSIS — that they were supposed to work in human resources.

“There wasn’t a lot of diversity. It was hard to see how you fit,” said Musaji.

Funny, but I don’t feel safer.

Progressives’ New Racialism Isn’t Just Repulsive. It’s Dangerous

This week, a bipartisan group of Senators came to an agreement over a new infrastructure bill that totals $550 billion, offering some hope to Americans that excessive partisanship won’t doom the legislation America needs to repair ailing roads, bridges, and other key infrastructure.

Beware the Ideology Pimps

The politicians, corporation executives, media personalities and activists who are trying to move the United States toward Globalism and Democratic Socialism are heartless careerists and power hungry con artists. they are selling collectivism. Call it what you like, social justice, anti-fascism or woke, all forms of collectivism are just suave modern cousins to murderous Communism (Maoism, Stalinism, Khmer Rouge, North Korea’s Kim family), brutal Socialism (Nazism, Mussolini) and blood- thirsty Islamofascism.

Trudeau Using Colonialism To Transform Anglophone Canadians Into Second Class Citizens

“Queen Victoria presided during some of the most brutal years of colonial history — when land was stolen the most, when things like the Indian Act were put into place.”

“The response was prompted by anger and frustration, as more people confront the grim truths of Canada’s residential school system and the country’s colonial legacy.”

So goes what is today a staple of society resulting from the discovery of deceased Indigenous children at former residential schools. Not that this is a post-modern social issue. Our society has been struggling with the treatment of Aboriginal Canadians for at least a century.

Multicultural Lobby Uses Indigenous Community To Promote Hatred Of Canada

Born in Saudi Arabia, Hana Mae Nassar’s messaging to Canadians captures something fundamental about the state of contemporary society:

“The country’s relationship with Indigenous people isn’t the only thing Canadians have been reflecting on lately. Legislation targeting Chinese immigrants, the internment of Japanese Canadians, the Komagata Maru tragedy, and the various killings of Muslim Canadians are just some of the events that have tarnished this country’s history with immigrants and racialized people.”

Hana Mae Nassar is unimpressed with Canada. It matters not that our government accepted her into our country in the year 2006. Nor does the fact that neither she, nor her family, lived in Canada at the time of the Chinese Head Tax. Irrelevant it is that the Komagata Maru incident– the flimsiest claim of historical racism ever–had zero impact upon Nasser, or her family.

The ‘Noble Lies’ of the New Race Politics

Individual and group differences are real. So is inequality. The contrarian Black intellectual Thomas Sowell, who turns 91 today, showed us the way to understand and to remedy both.

America’s most wildly successful Black intellectual, Ibram X. Kendi, has declared that “the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” Kendi champions a two-tier system in which expectations for Black Americans are permanently lowered and test scores are abolished. If Kendi gets his way, the false, racist notion that African Americans can’t possibly match the achievement of other Americans will be set in stone—if they could, why would you need to hire based on skin color rather than talent?

The new moral order that supports this far-reaching program of state and institutionally sanctioned racism is based on a presumed Orwellian control over language. If you oppose the new racism, Kendi proclaims, then you’re a racist. Better sign on to the new “Black” math, designed by people who think African Americans deserve shoddy education—a revival of the old separate and unequal setup—or else face permanent consignment to the camp of Bull Connor.

The implosion of multiculturalism

The Batley and Spen by-election shows just how destructive multiculturalism has become.

Labour has reached a new low. In Batley and Spen, ahead of the by-election on Thursday, it has been distributing leaflets that seem expressly designed to stir up racial and religious animosity. The leaflets show Boris Johnson shaking hands with the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi. Meeting, never mind touching, such a foul Hindu creature is apparently a crime in the eyes of Labour’s Batley activists. ‘Don’t risk a Tory MP who is not on your side’, the leaflet says. You don’t need a PhD in dogwhistling to translate the nauseating message behind this leaflet: look at the Conservative PM cosying up to the evil leader of the Indian people – the Conservatives clearly cannot be trusted.

Statues Of George Floyd Are ‘Racist,’ ‘Need To Be Torn Down Immediately’

Sports reporter and commentator Jason Whitlock said statues recently erected to memorialize George Floyd are “offensive” to black people and should be torn down.

Whitlock ripped into the “satanic cabal of cultural elites” promoting Floyd as a hero of social justice in a column published Tuesday at The Blaze. The narrative and meaning attached to Floyd’s life and death are part of a “Marxist overhaul” of American culture, Whitlock says.

The Left’s Ilhan Omar Problem

The latest in the saga of Omar’s anti-Semitic comments.

There is a direct link between the Democrats’ identity politics and the anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism we see more of every day. Some immunity is awarded to those who belong to one of the more fashionable minorities du jour.

Some minorities are fashionable, but some — women, people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and a few others — are more fashionable than others and, thus, more protected. The idea that all lives matter, not just those of minorities, is unthinkable to the wokistas.

God loves flags, apparently

Noticeably absent from the State Department’s rainbow bacchanalia this year are those embassies in Muslim nations

When it comes to former president Trump and the gays, one of the innumerable enduring myths perpetrated by media claims he banned US embassies from flying the rainbow gay Pride flag during the month of June. This lie is a personal favorite as a radiant example of the media’s pettiness during the Trump years and the degree to which they’ll just make something up or, at the very least, refuse to conduct the tiniest bit of due diligence to fact-check a falsehood they want so badly to be true.

Diversity Is Good, But No Jews, Please

Move over Woka-Cola, It’s Google’s turn to show their bigotry. Kamau Bobb, the leader of Google’s diversity strategy and research team, was reassigned after he wrote: “If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself.” He explained in 2007, in a now-deleted blog, that “If I were a Jew today, my sensibilities would be tormented. I would find it increasingly difficult to reconcile the long cycles of oppression that Jewish people have endured and the insatiable appetite for vengeful violence that Israel, my homeland, has now acquired.”
