The number of fighting-age males pouring across our border i more of an invasion than a "migrant crisis", and it's being assisted by the puppet-in-chief.
DEL RIO, Texas — The crisis unfolding at a makeshift camp of nearly
15,000 mostly Haitian migrants under the Del Rio International Bridge
has a devastating impact on the local community of Del Rio, Texas.
Although mostly out of the public eye due to the remote location of the
camp, residents are feeling the impact in the small Texas town. The
closure of ports of entry leading to Acuna, Coahuila, Mexico, forced
many local businesses in Del Rio to operate with fewer employees.
You can read the rest at the link. This mess, with the bridge closing, and the vat numbers of invaders, is leaving much of the rest of the border completely unprotected. Last time I checked, aiding an invading army was considered an act of treason.
Meanwhile Harris, who was tapped to "handle the border crisis" was busy going to a football game.
On August 27, 2021, a truck carrying 1.3 million doses of the Moderna vaccine crashed in West Virginia. This prompted the deployment of hazmat teams, with what witnesses described as a "village" of tents and the like, and closed the highway for a good 21 hours. Needless to say, there is a lot of speculation on the extent of the response. Officially, the claim is that fifty gallons of oil and antifreeze were spilling into a nearby stream, but that can't explain the tents set up that some witnesses have described. The amount of oil, for a big rig, isn't at all unreasonable, so I am told by someone who's driven them, though there wouldn't, he stated, be much antifreeze. Here are some article links for you, both of the basic news sort, and the speculative types as well:
Now, keep in mind, this is the same vaccine which in Japan was halted for some large batches (millions of doses) due to deaths and some unexplained black substance in some vials. Thus, it is not unreasonable to question why such a massive response would be necessary for a simple vehicle crash. I've never heard of hazmat teams showing up for anything less than a large fuel truck or one carrying some dangerous chemical or the like. Certainly not for oil and antifreeze. Cleanup crew? Sure. Stop the leaking into water, dig out affected soil. Hazmat crews, though? Doesn't happen. Closed air space? No, jut no. Something seems off about that.
Will the idiocy never end? Do these people have lives, or do they simply exist to harass others, to complain, to be offended? I'll start with the article link -
To properly address each idiotic claim, I'll be quoting portions of the article, then responding to each one.
Referring to food
as “exotic” creates distance between individuals and groups and
“reinforces xenophobia and racism,” according to a recent Washington Post
article which, instead, suggests people ask themselves why they are
unfamiliar with certain foods and question their willingness to change
that.
The Thursday article,
written by the paper’s food section staff writer, Daniela Galarza, and
titled “Stop calling food ‘exotic,’” begins by quoting a couple who
praised Afghan restaurants and referred to the cuisine served as
“exotic,” in an old Post essay.
Though she admitted the couple “meant
no harm,” their use of the term “exotic” indicates that they see the
world through a “presumptive Anglocentric perspective,” according to
Galarza.
Right there, she's making a racist assumption herself. When a person lives in a majority-white nation, it isn't "presumptive" to speak from the point of view of someone of Caucasian descent. It's normal and expected. Would she claim someone from Japan was "presumptive" in calling American foods "exotic", and claim they were speaking from a "presumptive Asian-centric" perspective? No, of course not; only White people are told they are wrong for appreciating their own heritage and culture. meatloaf and mashed potatoes would seem exotic to someone in Japan, who was unfamiliar with American foods.
After receiving letters from readers
critical of her inclusion of “exotic” spices and ingredients in her “Eat
Voraciously” food-themed newsletter, she claimed the word hit her “like
a slap,” leading her to conclude that it has lost its essential
meaning.
“What’s ‘exotic’ to you isn’t
‘exotic’ to my neighbor, might not be ‘exotic’ to my mom, probably
wouldn’t be ‘exotic’ to my best friend,” she wrote.
She also claimed that use of the
term, particularly regarding food, “indirectly lengthens the
metaphysical distance between one group of humans and another, and, in
so doing, reinforces xenophobia and racism.”
Here, she's assuming that the very term "exotic" is somehow divisive. It isn't. It simply means different, unusual to the person speaking. It isn't divisive to recognize differences in cultures, including obvious differences in what we eat. The term is valid for the person using it. There is no obligation to speak from the perspective of someone else, either. Who is this woman, to demand someone speak from the perspective of someone else? How about she speaks from my perspective? I want to see her article explaining what an idiot she is, from my point of view.
Galarza then quotes Chandra D. L.
Waring, professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts
Lowell, who claimed that the term is only used to describe something
non-white.
“I have never heard the word exotic used in reference to something that is White,” the professor said.
“You know that exotic means ‘other’
or ‘different’ from a dominant-White perspective because no one ever
says, ‘I’m going to go on an exotic vacation, I’m going to Lowell,
Mass.’ No one ever says, ‘Let’s go to that exotic new restaurant, let’s
go to McDonald’s,’” she added.
“Like ethnic and alien, the word
exotic was invented to describe something foreign,” Galarza wrote,
despite admitting that foreign often implies something positive.
Claiming that “language is never
inherently neutral,” Galarza argues that the supposed history of the
term is inseparable from its usage.
Now she's crossed into even more blatant racism. She's assuming, along with the person she quotes, that "exotic" means non-white. It does mean different, but her implication is that this difference is seen as something negative. In fact, when people use the word, it tends to mean interesting, as a virtue of being different, not negative by default. An apple pie would be "exotic" to a guy who lives in the Amazonian rain forest. That Americans, who are majority white, use the term to describe things from places that aren't, isn't some sign of racism or xenophobia. It's a sign of proper word usage. This control freak doesn't get to tell other people what words they can and cannot use.
“It’s been a long time since European
explorers traveled the world in pursuit of wealth, spices, coffee, tea,
chocolate and places they would colonize or people they would enslave —
in short, things they would label exotic — but that history is
inextricable from the word,” she wrote, before quoting others who agree.
“It’s completely tied to the history
of colonialism and slavery,” Serena J. Rivera, assistant professor of
Portuguese and Spanish at the University of Pittsburgh, is quoted as
saying. “If you are exotic, if you’re automatically an ‘other,’ you’re
not one of us.”
Here, she's tossed out that old trope of claiming everything White people have done is about "slavery". Never mind the fact that more non-whites have owned slaves and promoted slavery than have Whites, and that most cultures throughout history have had slaves; no, just blame the one race that actually made slavery illegal, and pretend the rest never happened, and isn't still happening. We must demand that the truth be told, and refuse these guilty label they push at us.
I notice these folks don't seem to mind "colonizing" our majority White nation. They don't seem to mind using all of the technology and benefits our "Anglo-centric" society has provided to the world. We discovered electricity, nuclear power, relativity,and the secrets of DNA. We invented automobiles, aircraft, submarines, radio, television, light bulbs, photography, telephones, computers, and much more. We made it possible to travel to space and visit the moon. We were first to circle the globe, climb the tallest peaks, visit both poles, exceed the sound barrier, and dive to the depths of the ocean. We formed the greatest, most free nation in the world, and we feed much of the world, and protect it as well. This nation is so awesome that people from all over the world want to come and live here. We have welcomed people from every race and culture, even when that hasn't been to our benefit. How about, if we are so bad, they stay elsewhere? How about they stop culturally appropriating everything we have created? Seems fair to me, to apply their own standards to themselves. But I digress.
Calling continued use of the word “an
attempt at ostracizing the other in the service of empowering oneself,”
she then quotes Rivera again, stating, “Calling a food exotic puts the
onus of the puzzle on the people who make the food to define it, to
rationalize, explain, or whitewash it until it’s palatable to the
dominant culture.”
How does this woman determine that calling something exotic is some attempt to "ostracize" anyone? How does describing a food as different from what is familiar "empower" a person? This is beyond idiocy. There is no logic whatsoever to such claims. This is nothing more than a lame attempt to score points with idiots that think it's "cool" to claim everything is racist. It's virtue signaling, lame pandering, and more than a little old.
It gets worse.
Claiming that Americans have access to
nearly anything today at their general grocery store, Galarza then
quotes author Lisa Heldke who states, “By exoticizing a food even though
it’s actually accessible, you’re assigning it a value that’s lower than
the status quo.”
Now, she's claiming that stating something is different somehow makes it less valuable. What caused such insecurity in her, I wonder? Plus, she can't even write properly. "Exotic" is an adjective, not a verb. By using the language so poorly, she's devaluing her own writing.
Next, she actually asserts, along with some others, that recipes should be altered - she calls it "repaired" - to avoid terms that could be addressing White readers. In a majority White country.
Galarza also asserted recipes are more than mere directions for food preparation.
“[R]ecipes are not just instructions,
they’re documentation. They’re history. They’re representations of a
culture. That’s why the language we use to describe any type of food
should be regularly questioned,” she wrote.
Quoting food and recipe writers Priya Krishna and Yewande Komolafe, Galarza criticized
the assumption publishers make that their audience is “made up of White
readers who demand what’s convenient for them above all else.”
“Food media is always addressing the White reader,” Komolafe told Krishna.
Praising recipe site Epicurious’
announcement last year that it would be combing through its site’s
archives to “edit or ‘repair’” recipes that had been “put through a
white American lens,” Galarza highlighted that the term “exotic” was one
of the first to go.
“One of the first issues ‘repaired’
was use of the word ‘exotic,’” David Tamarkin, Epicurious’ then-digital
director, was quoted as saying then.
“I can’t think of any situation where
that word would be appropriate, and yet it’s all over the site,” he
added. “That’s painful for me and I’m sure others.”
Addressing which word to use instead,
Galarza presented a couple of options, ultimately preferring a complete
change in perspective.
“It’s not so much about replacing
‘exotic’ with another word, though ‘rare’ or ‘difficult to find’ might
be more accurate descriptions for food in some cases,” she wrote. “It’s
about reframing your worldview.”
Why should anyone assume it's a bad thing to address the most likely audience in a country? White people are the majority here, still, and articles written here should by default be written to address the majority of readers. In this case that means White Americans. If someone is so fragile that they are offended by the word "exotic", perhaps they need therapy. They certainly don't need the ability to post articles demanding everyone avoid words that are "painful" to them. As for the claim that no one ever calls anything White "exotic", that's not even true. Kevin Costner called his female co-star's character "exotic", in the movie No Way Out. People from other countries call American foods and customs exotic in videos, as they are trying out new experiences. These fragile little snowflakes need to get over themselves.
She continues on demanding that people change the words they use, and even how they think, so that she can approve of them. Of course, she won't approve even those who are stupid enough to comply, because she hates White people.
She concluded by suggesting that
instead of using a term to refer to foreign food, people should simply
become familiar with that food instead.
“Ultimately, there are just two kinds
of food: food you’re familiar with, and food you’re not,” she wrote,
adding, “If any particular food fits into the latter category, for you,
rather than expressing disgust or disdain, ask yourself: Why am I not
familiar with it, and don’t I want to change that?”
This is not the first time the Washington Post created controversy over terminology associated with food.
In 2019, food reporter Tim Carman dropped his “$20 Diner” Post column title, claiming it created “artificial limits” and helped “confirm deep-seated biases.”
In 2015, Post reporter Ellie Krieger created a list
of terms to avoid using in reference to foods, including “cleanse,”
which “has a somewhat morally judgmental tinge to it,” and “skinny,”
which “says nothing about what your body needs.”
“Do yourself a favor and replace that
word with one that reflects how you want your body to feel, such as
energized, strong, or nourished. Reframing your thinking in that
direction will probably help you look your best, too,” she wrote.
That same year, Post columnist Lavanya Ramanathandemanded people stop calling immigrant food “ethnic.”
“[I]t’s time to stop talking about
ethnic food as though we’re Columbus and the cuisines served up by
immigrants are ours for the conquering,” she wrote.
I think it's time idiots like this were removed from their positions, as mentally ill, and that they received treatment for their insecurities. "Ethnic" simply refers to a culture. Cheeseburgers are "ethnic" food associated with White people. As for "conquering" cuisine, what does that even mean? What, we aren't supposed to appreciate foods from other cultures now? Only non-whites can have access to anything, and Whites are to be prohibited from even discussing foods? No, not playing that BS game. I refuse to feel guilty for being who I am, for having ancestors that worked hard, fought for freedom, and contributed so much to the world, just because someone from a culture that did less feels bad that they their own ancestors did less. Boo hoo. Get over it, get up and do something for yourself. Don't steal from my culture, remake things by destroying them, that you didn't create, and demanding that everyone call you a victim and give you something for nothing. Enough is enough. Work hard, speak properly, dress decently, learn to appreciate real music, stop committing crimes, stop assaulting everyone different, learn a skill if you want a better job, don't demand lowered standards, follow the rules, be polite to others, and you can accomplish something of your own. Obviously this isn't addressed to most readers here, but to the ones like this ding-a-ling claiming food discussion, along with most everything else (as discussed n a previous blog, is somehow "racist". I'm sick of this nonsense. I'm sick of seeing people pander to this, talking about their "white guilt", and praising "diversity" (meaning "not white") and "multiculturalism" (meaning not American). These days, they are even claiming the American flag is "racist" along with anyone who flies it. Perhaps this author should move to Haiti, if she's so against everything about this country.
Perhaps it's just me, or just a few people here and there, but I am daily frustrated at the appalling lack of good language skills demonstrated by so many people; online, on television or in the movies, even in news articles and books. I learned in grade school how to avoid such errors so that I could communicate well with others and understand what I read.
Now, I know the schools aren't what they used to be, and when someone is never taught the correct way to do a thing, they can't be fully blamed for mistakes. A person can, though, seek to learn the correct methods. One should also understand that common "shortcuts" for text messages should be avoided whenever possible. If you pay per message, and length is limited, sure, use those. If that's not an issue, however, make an effort to write properly. It's courteous to those with whom you are trying to communicate, and it's a better reflection on you as well.
First, I will address some of the more common errors, which are caused by certain types of words that can really throw you for a loop if you aren't careful. These are homophones, homographs, and homonyms.
I created the little visual above to show what each word means, and how they are related. You'd be surprised how many online sites, no doubt with user input, have incorrect information. Above is accurate data. Some examples of each sort are:
Homographs: address - to speak to / location bass - a musical instrument / a type of fish bow (to bend at the waist)/bow (a piece of archery equipment) entrance (to hold one's attention)/entrance (a doorway) sow (so-) - scatter seeds, sow (sou) - female pig tear (drops of water from the eyes)/tear (to rip paper into pieces)
Homonyms: Air - oxygen / a lilting tune Arm - body part / division of a company Band - a musical group / a ring Book - something to read / the act of making a reservation Bark - a tree's out layer / the sound a dog makes Bat - an implement used to hit a ball / a nocturnal flying mammal Bear - an animal / to withstand or hold up Bright - very smart or intelligent / filled with light Can - a container made of metal / able to Circular - taking the form of a circle / a store advertisement Current - up to date / flow of water Die - to cease living / a cube marked with numbers one through six Express - something done fast / to show your thoughts by using words Fair - equitable / beautiful Jag - a sharp, jutted object / a crying spree Kind - type / caring Lie - to recline / to tell a falsehood Light - illumination / weighs little Match - to pair like items / a stick for making a flame Mean - average / not nice Pen - a holding area for animals / a writing instrument Pole - a person from Poland / a piece of metal that holds a flag Pound - unit of weight / to beat Quarry - a site for mining stone / to extract or obtain slowly Ream - a pile of paper / to juice a citrus fruit Ring - a band on a finger / something circular in shape Right - correct / direction opposite of left Rock - a genre of music / a stone Rose - to have gotten up / a flower Spring - a season / coiled metal Stalk - a part of a plant / to follow or harass someone Tender - gentle / offer of money Tire - to grow fatigued / a part of a wheel Well - in good health / a source for water in the ground
There are many other examples of these types of words, and you can find some decent lists online. Some do have errors, however, so be aware. In a few cases, some words that aren't actually pronounced the same are included in lists because they are very similar, and the slightest mispronunciation can cause them to sound alike. In other cases, there are real errors, such as someone assuming that "been", which is a homophone along with "bin", was pronounced with a long "e" sound (it isn't) due to the spelling, and including it alongside "bean". So, when using the lists, apply some common sense, and check pronunciations as you go. Be sure to learn which word to use when, and their proper definitions.
For a fun example of how these words can be confusing, let's examine the word "does". This one is both a homograph and a homophone. The homophone example is in comparing "does" to "doughs" and "doze". Three words that sound the same, but are spelled differently, and have different meanings -
does - the plural of "doe", meaning a female deer (and "deer" is also a homophone, along with "dear")
doughs - the plural of "dough", meaning uncooked baking mixture, such as for breads or cookies.
doze - to nap, have a short sleep, fall asleep (as in, "doze off")
"Does" is also a homograph, meaning words that look the same, but are pronounced differently and have different meanings. In this case:
does - female deer
does - Example - "He does his own thing."
Isn't English fun!!?
A study of those words and their correct usage will resolve most common errors. I've seen a few, however, that were just ridiculous. One was a quote from a CBS12 article, quoted on another news page:
Cringe worthy! Some reporter wasn't educated enough to properly spell the word "infer". I've also seen someone write " for intensive purposes" in place of "for all intents and purposes". One very common error these days is for people to state, "I could care less." when they actually mean, "I couldn't care less." The first would mean they care somewhat, while the latter correct phrase means that they don't care at all.
Another that really annoys me is when people substitute "of" for "have". This is no doubt due to a failure to understand basic contractions, which is what you get when you combine certain two-word combinations into one, substituting an apostrophe for some of the letters. For example:
they are - they're
we are - we're
you are - you're
we have - we've
would have - would've
could have - could've
The last two are where the problem occurs. People who aren't properly educated tend to hear "of", instead of the "v" sound, and then end up using "of" instead of "have" when writing the words out without using the contraction. This is extremely poor usage. As stated before, I learned this stuff in my early grade school years. Elementary school. Yet I see adults using this error, all the time, in online discussions. It's ridiculous!
There are some other words that aren't really homophones, as mentioned above, but are close enough that people often confuse them. Examples:
are/our/or
We are going to the store.
This is our house.
Would you prefer mustard or mayonnaise on your burger?
accept/except
He couldn't accept the death of his beloved dog.
I like every movie in that list except for the one about zombies.
aloud/allowed
The teacher asked Billy to read the story aloud to the rest of the class.
Sally was not allowed to walk to school alone.
No one who wants to be seen as intelligent and educated should make such errors. When speaking and writing a language, no matter what that language may be, proper usage is important. Spelling is as well, and such errors are not always due to usage, so I won't list a lot of those here.
Thanks for sticking around, if you've made it to the end. I hope this helps some people, even if that's your children. Please add any examples that you've come across, and feel free to rant as well!
Yes, racism is indeed a problem in America, but it isn't "white supremacists" that need concern you. No, the real racist threat is elsewhere. Here are three cases demonstrating the real issue:
In the video, you can see a black guy in a hoodie walking, then turning around and going back to punch the elderly man, for no reason whatsoever other than race.
Here, you have a huge black guy attack a tiny, elderly Asian woman, knocking her down, then kicking her, while three men inside the nearby building, who appear to me to be black, stand there doing nothing to help her.
In this video, we see another black man attacking an Asian man, and the really sick thing is, in the Twitter post attacking this as a hate crime, they don't label this as a black man, only as a "person"!
Imagine hiring that guy to babysit your kids. Yet the government tells us "white supremacists" are the "big threat" these days?? Really?
The shooter in Boulder, Colorado, which the MSM started calling a "white man" practically immediately, is actually Middle Eastern, Muslim, and has ISIS sympathies:
Sources are provided, by way of links, for most of this nonsense, but be warned; some of the articles are glaringly stupid, and even quite racist.
1. Spongebob Squarepants - Never mind that he isn't even human, or white; university of Washington professor Holly M. Barker (who is white) claims he's a "violent, racist" colonizer. Why? He lives in Bikini Bottom, somewhere in the Bikini Atoll, which was used for nuclear testing, requiring the relocation of people living there. Never mind that the characters are all sea creatures, and have displaced no one. This dingbat goes on to claim that it's "cultural appropriation" to use items in the show that are commonly associated with island life, such as Hawaiian shirts, tikis, pineapple-shaped homes, and Easter Island statues.
2. Cold Weather - Yep, you read that correctly. Some imbecile named Damon Young actually wrote an article claiming just that. The claim is basically that black people avoid colder areas, for the most part, and that cold weather "possesses a changing agent that somehow makes black people even blacker." So, apparently snow is racist, too. Is the white t-shirt he mentions in the article also racist?
3. The Winter Olympics - Never mind that these sports mainly started in Scandinavian countries, and are popular in areas with a larger white population. Never mind that, according to the fellow discussed in #2, cold weather is apparently racist, and blacks supposedly avoid cold areas; apparently the small number of non-white athletes in these sports is somehow a sign of "racism".
4. The 2017 Solar Eclipse - The sun and moon are racists! So they claim, in an article printed by The Atlantic, by one Alice Ristroph. Her reasoning? Supposedly the totality passed over areas that are mostly not inhabited by black people.
5. The Air We Breathe - There are claims that whites are the sole cause of air pollution, and that said pollution is targeted to occur in non-white areas. Ridiculous, of course, but so are all such claims. An article in U.S.A. Today discusses a study that makes this very claim. I guess no non-whites drive cars, or use any energy whatsoever.
6. Decent Treatment of Dogs - Yep, being kind to your dog is now a sign that you might be a white supremacist. So claims the very confused Katja Guenther, Associate Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of California, Riverside. According to this person, who is obviously in need of a good shrink, only white people, middle- and upper-class, can properly care for dogs.
7. Dogs - Based on internet studies (that's right, no actual, in-person study of the dogs or owners themselves), a Psychology Today article claims that your dog can be a racist.
8. Babies - Apparently, there are idiots out there that think it's racism for babies to look at photos longer when the photos most resemble their own families.
Yet they wonder about motive in attacks on white children by non-whites.
9. Farmers' Markets - Two geology professors from San Diego State University claim that, “Farmers’ markets are often white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized," and complain that non-whites can't manage such things.
10. Obesity - Researchers are claiming that black women who face "high experiences of racism" are more likely to be overweight. What people eat and underlying health issues apparently aren't factors at all; no, must be racism.
11. Hoop Earrings - Some Hispanics are claiming that these earrings, worn the world over for centuries, by people from many places - Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Nubia, Egypt, Greece, Etruria, Rome - are somehow only part of Hispanic culture, and that no one else should wear them.
12. Dr, Seuss Books - I am sure you've all heard about this one. But, have you seen the actual evidence? These claims are that showing someone of a particular race as looking like that race is somehow "racism". For example, this picture -
...showing a Chinese man, in a traditional hat and eating with chopsticks, is somehow racism. But it's simply a portrayal of reality -
Chinese people and others in that part of Asia still wear such hats, and eating with chopsticks is definitely something from real Asian culture. There is nothing racist about it.
This picture shows an imaginary bird, carried by a couple of guys that look like African tribesmen of some sort. Racism? Not really:
This is an image of people of the Wodaabe tribe, located, I believe, in a CNN article.
This fellow is from the Mursi tribe, and the next is a Suri warrior. Both have rings on or at the ears.
So, what is racist about showing how people from other places might look?
Nothing, that's what. These books cause a child to want to see such places and people.
13. Baa Baa Black Sheep - Since no color can be named without someone screaming "racism!!", this isn't a surprise. People in both the U.K. and Australia decided this old nursery rhyme must be racist, though it's origin seems to be a wool tax.
14. Turkey Breast - I've made jokes about this, that someone would eventually claim white meat was racist, and now it's happened. It shouldn't come as any surprise that the fellow claiming this, Ron Rosenbaum, a college dropout and journalist, also makes anti-white racist comments about white bread, and treats all middle class people in a very derogatory fashion. Apparently, neither he nor anyone whose food he's eaten knows how to properly cook a turkey, or pork chops, either, since he claims both sorts of white meat are tasteless, like cardboard, dry, etc. He claims "white bread" is an insult, and he's right; racists have used it to deride white people for some time now, but this clown doesn't have any issue with that. Nope, but he sure does enjoy calling people racist for preferring white meat.
16. Brown Bag Lunches - Again, a color is mentioned, and idiots decide it has to be about race, because, gee, everything else in the world is clear and colorless, right? Oh, wait... Seems dimwits in Seattle have decided that brown paper bags are racist, claiming someone used them to compare to skin tones, in deciding who could attend parties. Never heard of such a thing, but hey, any excuse to scream and rant, right? They also claimed that "citizen" was offensive.
You'd think an "institute of higher learning" could find the actual root words, wouldn't you?
17. America is the Land of Opportunity - Yeah, that's "racist" now, too, since it disagrees with the Leftist claim that all whites are racist, and all "people of color" are victims of said racism. It's like a trial for witchcraft, really. Admit you are one, and you are condemned for it. Don't admit it, and you are condemned as a liar. There is no winning with such insanity. Tolerate this at your peril.
18. Public Decency - Some claim that a ban on sagging pants, with rear ends hanging out, is somehow "racist", since that's a part of black culture. Seems some would prefer to sag than to look professional, and perhaps have better odds at landing a good job.
19. Merry Christmas - CNN host Don Lemon, a certifiable racist, claimed that saying "Merry Christmas" was a "dog whistle" for white racists. Celebrating a Christian holiday, and being white, according to this clown, makes someone a "dog", and a racist one, apparently. Who's racist again?
20. The National Anthem - Yeah, that's right; Leftists think being patriotic is somehow "racist". We've all seen the BS from the sports teams kneeling in disrespect.
21. The Electoral College - Some claim that preserving the rights of every state, not just the most populous, is somehow "racist and sexist". They know it's not true, of course, but they want New York and California to decide every national election. "Flyover country" can go hang, apparently.
22. The Sports Industry - Yes, the same one that creates many, many black millionaires, and that seems to favor blacks over any other race, is somehow "racist".
23. Math - Yes, really. Some claim mathematics is somehow racist. Because white people developed math, and because blacks are apparently targeted "by math" with higher numbers of arrests, poor credit scores, etc., math must be "racist".
24. Hard Work - Professor Angela Putman of Pennsylvania State University claims that working hard to be successful is an "Ideology of whiteness". I wonder if she realized that she's calling anyone non-white lazy?
25. Discounted Barbie Dolls - So, a Walmart cuts the price of a darker-skinned Barbie, which apparently isn't selling as well, and race-baiters claim it's all about "devaluing" the darker-skinned dolls.
26. Owning a Gun - Yeah, even if you're not white, apparently Michael Moore thinks you're racist if you own guns for protection, because, gee, you must assume that anyone who invades your home will be black, and that's the only reason you'd want to protect yourself. Yes, he's really that stupid.
27. Black Holes, Devil's Food Cake, and Angel Food Cake - John Wiley Price, a Dallas commissioner who is black, demanded an apology for someone using the term "black hole", which is of course an astronomical term, claiming it was racist. He then claimed that devil's food and angel food cakes were as well, because the former is "black" (chocolate), and the latter white. He's not fond of "black sheep", either.
28. Science - So if math is racist, why not science? Why not all education? (Hold that thought.) Hallmark made a talking card that mentioned black holes (yes, those again, and some clowns with the NAACP decided it said "whores" instead of "holes", so it was "racist". It's not just that, however. some claim that any mention of race (unless they are labeling you as a racist) is racism, and that the very concept of race, in anthropology, medicine, genetics, or whatever, is "racist".
29. Trees - Apparently, using trees and fencing to separate a golf course from a neighborhood is "racist" if the neighborhood happens to be black. City officials in Palm Springs decided to kill off the offending, evil trees.
30. Various Disney Movies - I hate to defend Disney, but this is ridiculous. The Little Mermaid is called "racist" because Sebastian has a Jamaican accent. Gee, I always thought it sounded nice, and musical, but apparently I was supposed to find it insulting. My favorite character in the whole film, and I didn't know I wasn't supposed to like him. Silly me. Dumbo is supposedly racist because it features some black men working hard to set up the circus (I guess work is racist?), and because the crows, that aided Dumbo and were helpful, spoke like black men. Song of the South is famous for Disney itself banning the movie, though it isn't racist at all. I own a copy, and saw it as a child as well. Uncle Remus is a wonderful character, the star of the whole show; a kindhearted older man, who befriends a couple of children and tells them wonderful stories about animals, while trying to aid them with personal issues. The white parents of one child are thinking of breaking up, not positively portrayed at all, and the brothers of the other white child are bullies. But people claim it's "racist" because he's living in the South, on a plantation, after the Civil War. Never mind that he's respected and loved by everyone around, never mind that he helps the family come back together, it must be "racism". Utter BS. It's a wonderful movie. Peter Pan dares to portray American Indians as, well, Indians. The children even dare to dress up as Indians themselves. Oh, the horror! I think we should demand that no Amerind person (I will not call them "Native Americans", as that is a racist term) dresses as white people do, and that they only wear their native styles. No cars, either, or electricity, and definitely no white mans' tax dollars. Fair is fair, right? Lady and the Tramp is claimed to be racist for having two Siamese cats, that act like well, cats. Gee, couldn't be because that particular breed is haughtier than some others; no, it must be some "anti-Asian" thing. Pfft! The Jungle Book is called racist because the monkeys don't speak well. Monkeys. Who is racist, again? Aladdin was considered racist for a line in the original version (they edit these things for the DVD releases...) that spoke of authorities cutting off ears. Because, gee, no one in the Middle East every did anything so barbaric. Oh, wait... Pocahontas was called racist for showing that some Indians were violent. Facts hurt, I suppose.
31. Milk - Yep, because of actual racial differences, that in this case mean a lot of blacks are lactose intolerant, milk must be racist. They even claim that people protesting vegan nonsense were using milk against blacks, instead.
It couldn't be that people are trolling the race-baiting idiots, no; it must be that milk is racist. I'd roll my eyes, but that's been called racist as well.
32. Military Camouflage - Yeah, for exactly the reason you'd expect; they claim it's "blackface". Apparently the Left would prefer soldiers get shot, because they can't conceal themselves properly.
33. Lucky Charms - Yes, the cereal. Some moronic college students (Don't ask me how they were admitted.) decided that the cereal portrays Irish Americans as leprechauns. Yes, really.
In another case, students were forced to withdraw from their school over acne masks. Green masks, that dried dark. They didn't even share the photo on social media. Someone else did.
38. Katy Perry Shoes - Shoes with eyes and mouths, meant to resemble surrealism art styles, that come in many colors, are called "racist" because the black ones supposedly look like "blackface". How desperate to be victims are people?
39. Chocolate Ducks - Even candy can be racist, apparently. A company called a dark chocolate duck "Ugly", after the Hans Christian Anderson tale, The Ugly Duckling, wherein a brown"duckling" (who wasn't a duck) was called "ugly" by other ducks. Some people demand that this is racism, regardless of any facts.
40. Coal Miners - Go out for a drink after work? Not if you mine coal, and have soot on your face! Apparently, that's "racist!!" now, too.
Some clown names Rashaad Thomas has decided this is offensive, regardless of context. Well, go be offended, bub. I don't care. Don't frequent the pub if you don't like their decor. Don't demand they change it because you're an oversensitive child, however.
41. Being or Supporting a White Basketball Player - No surprise here, is there? The sad thing is, the player told his own fans they were racists for supporting him. Well, likely former fans. Idiot.
42. Grading Homework - I guess the implication is that only whites can earn good grades? Now that's racist, but grading isn't. Some Clinton-era clown thinks it is, though.
44. Sleep - No, I am not making this up. Teen Vogue claims that black people are always sleep deprived, because of "racism". Apparently only black people don't get enough rest, and it's all "whitey's" fault, and they want reparations.
45. Rocks - Well, one rock, anyway, named for a geologist, because a newspaper from 1925, yeah, almost a century ago, used a possibly derogatory term to describe it in an article. The rock is to blame.
46. Bernie Sanders' Mittens - No explanation as to why, exactly, just a claim from a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle that the mittens and other winter gear were somehow signs that he couldn't connect with minorities. What, non-whites don't wear coats and mittens or gloves in the bitter cold? Really??
47. The "OK" Hand Sign and Cracking Your Knuckles - A Mexican-American man was fired for cracking his knuckles, because some black racist claimed it was the "OK" sign, which many claim is some white supremacist symbol. Utter nonsense, for both, but the man lost his job. The idiot that reported him claims that wasn't his intent, but who believes that?
49. Cracker Barrel - Actual racists assume this is some "white supremacist" thing, ignoring the obvious (to anyone with a brain and some real education) reference to old country stores, where crackers were kept in barrels.
Long list, I know, and thanks for sticking with this if you've made it this far. I expected about half this number, but the list just kept growing, and I didn't even include some examples for which the links were missing. I am sure there are many more.
It's past time we stopped tolerating this insanity, this stupidity, this outright racism against one race. Anything white "must be racist" according to many. Statues are destroyed, jobs are lost, people are attacked, and all the while, the real racism is ignored by authorities. I'm sick of the whole thing. I won't condone it, and I won't ignore it. No one should.
