Courts rule against race-based restaurant relief distribution

“In other words, if you happened to be a white, male restaurant owner, you were sent to the back of the line to hope that the fund wouldn’t be dried up by the time your turn came.

This led a few of the aforementioned white, male owners to go to court and ask for equal treatment. In a pair of cases decided in just the past week, it looks like the courts agree that such gender or race-based systems of distribution are unconstitutional. The appeals will continue, however.”

The Child Soldiers of Portland

Famously the “whitest city in America,” Portland has become the unlikely headquarters of race radicalism in the United States. The city has elevated white guilt into a civic religion; its citizens have developed rituals, devotions, and self-criticisms to fight “systemic racism” and “white supremacy.” The culminating expression of this orthodoxy is violence: street militias, calling themselves “antiracists” and “antifascists,” smash windows and torch the property of anyone transgressing the new moral law.

PM issues formal apology to Italian Canadians interned during Second World War

 

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a formal apology on Thursday to Italian Canadians who were interned in this country during the Second World War, recognizing in the House of Commons address the wrongs done to these citizens by the federal government.

After Italy allied with Germany in 1940, 600 men were interned in camps in this country, four women were detained and sent to jail, while approximately 31,000 other Italian-Canadians were declared “enemy aliens,” prompting mistreatment and discrimination including fingerprinting and having to regularly report to local registrars.

An apology from Trudeau means nothing. 

The harm done by Justin Trudeau’s apology to Italian-Canadians might require an apology of its own

Canada interned hundreds of Italian-Canadians during the Second World War “for the simple reason that they were of Italian heritage,” Liberal MP Angelo Iacono told the House of Commons on April 14, paving the way for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to announce that Canada would formally apologize for doing so in May.

Mr. Iacono’s claim is remarkable. It suggests that Canada perpetrated a massive violation of human rights among members of that ethnic community. But if they really were interned simply because of their heritage, surely tens of thousands must have been thrown into camps – far more than the 12,000 Japanese-Canadians pulled from their homes on the West Coast and interned during the war (in addition to the thousands more forced to work on farms). There were, after all, more than 100,000 Italian-Canadians in 1940.

The Dirty Little Secret of Anti-Asian Violence—and Why the Left Stopped Talking About It

The Dirty Little Secret of Anti-Asian Violence—and Why the Left Stopped Talking About It

It’s time to bid farewell to the MSM coverage of anti-Asian violence. It was juicy while it lasted. The race-baiters in the lefty media saw what they thought was an opportunity to bash Donald Trump yet again by trying to link anti-Asian hate crimes to the former president’s use of the phrase “China virus” in regards to COVID-19. Liberal news rushed and gushed to suggest Trump’s words had stirred up a bunch of white supremacists in MAGA hats, driving pick-up trucks with huge Dixie flags all the way from Georgia to San Francisco for the thrill of punching an elderly Asian woman. Yee-HA!

College journalist: White people use SIDEWALKS in a ‘racist’ way

Progressives look for racism everywhere — even where it doesn’t exist.

From peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to “niceness,” it seems they’ve slapped the “racist” label on everything at some point.

Now, Kenny Allen, opinion editor of Northwestern University’s student newspaper is attacking white people for “walk[ing] awkwardly on sidewalks because of their internalized racism,” Campus Reform reported last week.

Proposed federal justice reforms could reduce number of Indigenous, Black people in system, say advocates

Proposed federal justice reforms could reduce number of Indigenous, Black people in system, say advocates

Advocates for justice system reform are welcoming new proposals from the federal government to address the overrepresentation of Black and Indigenous individuals and other racialized groups in the criminal justice system.

In the recent federal budget, the government pledged $216.4 million over five years, and $43.3 million each year after that, to divert Black and Indigenous youth and young people of colour from the courts.

Yea this will work.

Publishing is now a Left-wing bubble – A letter filled with hysterical analogies indicates an industry in crisis

There is an interesting site which breaks down American voting trends by occupation. Some of it is mysterious — why should pediatricians swing so overwhelmingly to the Democrats? Why should urology be so dominated by Republicans? Readers may insert their own jokes here.

But some of the voting patterns are far from surprising. No one would expect yoga teaching to be a hotbed of radical right-wing activity, for instance, and yogis do indeed push heavily to the left.

Netflix’s Crude, Racist Propaganda Wins an Oscar

The Left knows that racial agitation is more compelling than truth.

If, like most of America, you don’t care about Hollywood’s Academy Awards anymore and you missed its recent all-time lowest-rated broadcast, then you likely haven’t heard about an ugly bit of Black Lives Matter agitprop that scored an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.

Biden’s Racial Spoils System

Biden’s Racial Spoils System

In 2012, Joe Biden warned blacks that the GOP was going to put them “back in chains.” The remark was a foreshadowing of his obsession with critical race theory, which now informs his administration’s policies. Derrick Bell, one of the founding fathers of critical race theory, had laid the groundwork for such incendiary rhetoric. “Slavery is, as an example of what white America has done, a constant reminder of what white America might do,” he wrote. Bell, recall, was one of Barack Obama’s favorite professors at Harvard. In 2008, the Obama campaign concealed a video of Obama praising and hugging Bell at a rally in support of one of his crackpot demands.
