The Reverend Jeremiah Wright was more or less unknown before Barry Obama ran for President. One of Wright’s more famous idioms, perhaps due to the frequently shared recording of him saying it, was that after 9/11, America’s chickens were coming home to roost. Much like Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth, it still has legs.

CRT and Eugenics in Vermont
Government institutions cannot eliminate subconscious or conscious prejudices. The 20th century’s infatuation with “science” and brain chemistry has resulted in great hubris by academics and government to do exactly that — change the brain. But it has always ended in disaster.
Night Cap: School Board Member Busted for Racist Obnoxious Posts … Resigns (But It’s Not His Fault)
Northwood School Board Member Gary Caron has some interesting social media posts. We published some of them yesterday in advance of a meeting on that content scheduled for Wednesday. Rather than face the public and defend his exercise(s) of free speech in person, Gary has decided to resign.
Too Much Crime: Change the Definition of “Crime”
I saw a clip of a new MSNBC special, which aired on February 11th, called Black Men in America: Road to 2024, with Trymaine Lee, Charles Coleman Martin Jr., and Al Sharpton, to name a few. In this clip, these men stood around a pool table and discussed crime and how the black man is … Read more
Convince People They Are Oppressed And They Will Think They Are
I have often opined that I feel there are groups of people who foment the belief the country is ripe with systemic racism. They do this for power, relevance, and, of course, money. I always point to the Rev. Al Sharpton as proof of my theory. There has never been an incident involving people of different colors that the Reverend did not insert himself into the middle of.
King Arthur Baking Company Could Do So Much More
King Arthur Baking Company launched a new accelerator program to champion bakers and entrepreneurs of color, which made some news. Why not do one for short chefs? They could do one for female chefs, they could do one for young chefs, and they could do one for chefs from low-income areas.
King Arthur Flour Promotes Bakers of Color (No Whites) and I’m Having a Hard Time Getting Bent About That
The latest meter-pinging corporate outrage has landed. Vermont’s King Arthur Baking Company has announced an initiative to help small business owners of color. “Baking Pitchfest 2024” includes a baking contest and incentives for contest winners.
Did Claudine Gay Kill DEI?
The story of the sudden collapse of Harvard President Claudine Gay’s career should have nothing to do with DEI. The storyline should be about someone not qualified and prepared for the job being removed before any more damage could be done to the Harvard brand. But Gay herself made this situation about race with her poorly worded resignation.
What Happens to Black Voters When Democrats Don’t Need Them Anymore?
The College Fix went back through its 2023 archives to find things it reported on that someone on one campus or another decided were racist. A White Tower Guide for 2023, if you like. It’s quite the eclectic list.
No White Christmas In Boston This Year
I have wonderful, fond childhood memories of Christmastime in Boston. It was a magical place in the 60s. Driving along the city streets was a kaleidoscope of lights and colors, as was the Boston Common. The window displays at Filene’s were masterful, and we were always in awe of the Enchanted Village at Jordan Marsh.
Bananas: Shake Up At the North Pole
Santa Claus has come under fire thanks to a small band of elves who were recently hired per the North Pole’s new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy.
Busted in Boston – All The Racist Wu’s Down in Wu-ville!
The Left continues to do a number on minorities. After decades of insisting on segregation with fire and nooses, they pretended to oppose it (for votes, which worked), only to convince minorities to segregate themselves later. And they have. This dorm, this ghetto, this holiday party!
Confronting a Select Board Over Mandated D.E.I. Training
After reviewing the town of Hartford D.E.I. training and discovering that it is a front for cultural Marxism propped up by lies and unproven social theory, I felt obligated to address the Select Board, which mandated it for town employees.
Got White Supremacy?
Milk. You can get it from lactating mammals, but PETA would like you to believe that the cow-assaulting farmers aligned with the American Dairy-Industrial Complex are perpetuating a White supremacist milk culture. People who drink cows’ Milk are … systemic racists.
“The Worst Thing Any President Has Done in My Lifetime”
I was going to do a detailed fisking of this, but I’m short on time and long on the need for content (this morning). And the truth is, while you probably come here to get our take, sometimes the thing speaks for itself, and in the case of Victor Davis Hanson, does it well.
The US Air Force is Broken
If you need another reason why Air Force Chief of Staff General Charles “C.Q.” Brown is a #woke threat to the US military and national security (he is nominated to be the new head of the joint chiefs), we’ve got it.
Party of Civility™ Unloads Racist Hate on Black Lawmaker After She Leaves the Democrat Party
A black woman decided she could no longer affiliate herself with the priorities of the Democrat party. Her reward for switching sides was an onslaught of – no, not well wishes or even good riddance – but epic hate rants—nasty, racist epithets or exactly what you’d expect from Democrats.
Treehugger Serves Up a “Food Apartheid” Word Salad
Treehugger, that former font of Eco-Socialism, went pretty much dry when they fired the writers (like Lloyd Alter and Sami Grover) that were smart, stuck to their guns – and provoked a community of commenters that often were more interesting than the articles themselves.
When You Wear “Race Colored Glasses” Everything Looks Racist. Even … A Tree
You can call this absurd, but trust me; they will find something MUCH stupider. It’s a racist TREE. And it is, Of COURSE, it is another [il]liberal white female ringing the racist alarm bells. Can we PLEASE revoke their right to vote? And First Amendment?
Trespassing, Sage, Reparations, and Time…
The Left’s systemic guilt over how badly they continue to treat people of color has driven them to the only obvious solution. Make you pay for it. And that makes sense. Using people to advance their agenda is inherent in the ideology, and buying people off gets things done.
