Plagiarism, Jew-hate, racism, lying, and quotas: Aren't our august institutions dandy?

By Jack Hellner December 16, 2023

The Democrat mayor of Boston accidentally sent invitations to whites for a party that was intended to be for "people of color." That led to an uproar. Now she's saying this:

The Democrat mayor of Boston has defended her decision to hold a non-whites only Christmas party. Michelle Wu has come under fire for hosting the “electeds of colour” event. The segregated celebration has been held for years at an official reception hall in Boston, but this year  invitations were accidentally sent to all 13 members of the city council, including white members. The mayor’s office rescinded the invitations to seven white councillors 15 minutes after they were sent out, leading to a backlash from the city’s representatives over the “divisive” event.

...and then...

The party went ahead on Wednesday after the mayor’s office apologised for the blanket invitations, which were sent to all councillors in error by Denise DosSantos, Ms Wu’s aide. Ms DosSantos sent a follow-up email clarifying the event was restricted to non-white councillors.

Why isn't she being accused of being a racist since anyone who would exclude people of color from a party would be properly derided as a racist?  ..................To Read More....

Australia should vote 'no' on indigenous special rights referendum

October 3, 2023 By Viv Forbes

Here in Australia, our politicians are promoting a divisive and racist change to our constitution by referendum - the creation of an indigenous "voice" with undefined powers. Voting is underway now. According to Reuters:

SYDNEY, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Support for a proposal to amend Australia's constitution to enshrine recognition of Indigenous people has edged higher, according to a poll published on Tuesday, although most voters intend to reject the change in a referendum now underway. Early voting on whether to recognise Indigenous Australians in the constitution and create a "Voice to Parliament" to give them an avenue to advise the government on matters affecting First Nations Australians began on Monday.

"Indigenous" means "born here,"so most of us are indigenous. And for all of us, our earliest Australian ancestors came from somewhere else. But these politicians are referring to the Australian aboriginal minority, who like all Australians, had ancestors from somewhere else, but are the oldest inhabitants on the continent. To divide indigenous Australians on the basis of skin color or length of ancestry is more about politics than about justice. We are all Australians and constitutional changes that promote apartheid policies should be rejected...........To Read More...

A Student Wants to Join West Point. But He’s the Wrong Race

Daniel Greenfield September 28, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog

B loog B is a high school student with a 4.2 GPA. One of his grandfathers fought in the Army on D-Day. Three of his family members are currently serving in the military. He would like to attend West Point Academy and continue a proud family tradition of military service, but there’s one problem.

He’s white.

The United States Military Academy is highly selective, but not in the way that it should be.

In 2019, Vice President Mike Pence addressed the graduates, hailing them as “the most diverse class in the history of the United States Military Academy” with the “highest number of Hispanic women graduates”. He told them that, “I couldn’t be more proud to stand before the graduating class of 2019 that includes the highest number of African American women cadets in the history of the United States Military Academy!” That’s been the emphasis at West Point for too long.

Earlier this year, West Point put out a press release boasting of its 38% minority enrollment as part of what a new lawsuit alleges is a practice of achieving its “desired percentages … of blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities” through systemic discrimination in admissions.

As the lawsuit filed by Students for Fair Admissions on the behalf of B, the anonymous student, lays out, “West Point sets benchmarks for the percentage of each class that should be filled by ‘African Americans,’ ‘Hispanics,’ and ‘Asians,’ and it meticulously tracks its compliance with those figures down to a tenth of a percentage point.” The problem is too many white people.

During the Biden administration’s defense of racial discrimination in Harvard’s admissions policies, the federal brief complained that, “white service members are 53% of the active force, but 73% of officers.” West Point’s goal is to match the percentage of officers to the number of enlisted men and so there needs to be only 53% white officers. The white officers must go.

Thomas Jefferson may have said that, “the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance”, but the price of diversity is eternal racial vigilance.

Military systemic racism is perpetually chasing racial quotas that are constantly changing because the national demographics and the racial demographics of a volunteer military are also in flux. And a military brass dedicated to systemic racism is responding with rigid racial quotas.

Students for Fair Admissions, whose previous Supreme Court lawsuit had defeated racial quotas that discriminated against Asian and white students in colleges, launched its lawsuit by showing just how rigidly the number of Asian students admitted to West Point by race really is.

“West Point enrolled 99 Asian Americans in the Class of 2022. The number of Asian Americans enrolled in West Point’s Class of 2023? Precisely 99,” the lawsuit shows. There’s only room for 99 Asians and there are far too many white people and not enough black people at West Point.

“West Point’s benchmark for African Americans in the Class of 2020 was ‘[greater than] 14%,’ even though only 13.1% of U.S. citizens are African American, and Director of Admissions Colonel Deborah McDonald told a West Point diversity conference that a “couple of years ago, every qualified African-American applicant were offered admission into West Point, yet the class composition goal was still lacking.” Meanwhile white students, no matter how qualified, are being kept out because there are too many of them and they stand in the way of ‘diversity’.

Like the rest of the military, West Point has rationalized its systemic racial discrimination by claiming that ‘diversity’ improves recruitment, institutional legitimacy and readiness. The Students for Fair Admissions lawsuit takes a sledgehammer to all of those excuses.

West Point claims that diversity makes Army units “more effective at accomplishing their missions”, but provides no evidence that “military units that choose their members based on race are more successful on the battlefield than units who select their members based on objective measures of tactical competency, regardless of skin color.”

West Point argues that the lack of diversity will “undermine the military’s legitimacy”, but “a significantly higher percentage of Americans expressed confidence in the U.S. military three decades ago than they do today”, and to “the extent that West Point’s mission is to solidify the public’s trust, its race-based admissions policy shoots itself in the foot—especially since 70% of Americans agree that universities should not be allowed to ‘consider race in admissions.’”

West Point contends that the lack of diversity will “harm recruiting efforts. But today, at the apex of West Point’s use of racial preferences, the Army is facing a recruiting crisis that is unprecedented in the modern, all-volunteer era. The Army is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help would-be recruits satisfy basic eligibility requirements and is accepting enlistees who were previously rejected eight different times, but it still cannot meet recruiting goals.”

The woke brass, whether at West Point or anywhere else, have provided no evidence that systemic racism provides any measurable real world benefits. Embracing racial discrimination hasn’t improved the public perception of the military, it destroyed it, and also tanked recruitment.

SFA argues that the woke brass have just rebooted the old military arguments against desegregation using the same vague claims of “morale” and “civilian sentiment” to justify racial policies. President Truman’s military desegregation commission was cheered when it stated that, “to put racial restrictions upon job opportunities” was to “ignore completely the essential factor of individual differences. And insofar as a service refused to a single Negro the technical training and job for which he was qualified, by just so much did the service waste potential skills and impair its own effectiveness. Quite apart from the question of equal opportunity, the Committee did not believe the country or the military services could afford this human wastage.”

Racial military quotas have brought back the same arguments and the same “human wastage”. The same liberals who once cheered the dismantling of military segregation have become the fiercest advocates for it because somehow refusing a job to a black man was wrong, but refusing a job to a white man is the highest form of social justice.

The SFA lawsuit makes the case that what is undermining the military is a lack of merit.

“In-depth surveys and statistical studies of the Army’s personnel crisis—i.e., the rigorous analyses that West Point has failed to offer—show that the military’s emphasis on non-merit factors in admissions and promotions decisions is a leading cause of junior officer attrition. 71% of active duty officers believe the military would retain more talent if opportunities were based solely on merit.”

The military’s racial quotas are premised on the idea that “soldiers view their peers and superiors foremost in terms of race, rather than in terms of their ability or character traits like loyalty, devotion, and selflessness” and that “black soldiers will be more likely to trust a black officer” because “of their skin color, not their trustworthiness” while ignoring the “reams of evidence showing that trust between soldiers is formed through battlefield performance, and that servicemembers in war zones are more concerned with their leaders’ competency than with their skin color.”

There are no atheists in foxholes and no soldier under fire is looking for an evac chopper pilot who shares his skin color. The military was so effective as a desegregated institution because what matters on the battlefield is what you can do, not who you are.

West Point has betrayed its mission and its country through its decision to be “fully committed to affirmative action” rather than to elevating the best of the best. The SFA lawsuit against higher education established that college admissions could not be based on race, and there’s certainly no room for it in government institutions whose purpose is to produce the men and women who will defend our nation. Systemic racism at West Point is a betrayal of America and of ‘B’ and those young men like him who want to serve, but are the wrong race.

There should not be a ‘right’ or a ‘wrong’ race at West Point or anywhere in the military.

Is The Obama Woman A Ploy

September 25, 2023 By Mychal Massie, @ Daily Rant 

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows President Trump now has a double-digit lead over lead over Joe Biden. The poll shows President Trump with a 52 percent to 42 percent lead over Biden, which is up from a May poll showing President Trump leading 49 percent to 43 percent over Biden. But, before President Trump supporters get too excited, permit me to be a skunk at the picnic. If I am right, this just might be a ploy.

First of all; the polls throughout the summer that were parroted by the mainstream media had them both candidates even or Biden with a negligible lead. But, in the last weeks the talk of Biden’s inability to lead by those in his own party has increased. Most telling is that his lap dog mainstream leftist media have been the ones advancing that message. Also, in the past weeks the leftist media have been surprisingly critical of Biden’s gaffes and outright lies. So what does this mean?

Here are my thoughts. There’s increasing talk that the Democrats are devising or perhaps have already devised a way to jettison the Obama woman into the numero uno seat. For the record, I don’t believe that for a second; I’ll explain why in moment.

Whether it’s wishful thinking or a reality, the chatter of them finding a way to parachute the Obama woman into the picture is gaining momentum. I will add, that a close colleague has been assuring me since early summer that this is the plan. I still disagree.

Granted, there are those who slobber and droll over the very mention of that woman. But, who in their right minds would want this woman as the Democrat presidential nominee much less in the Oval Office?

She may be liked by a crowd with a big megaphone, but I submit they’re the minority. I say that she not just disliked, but she is unlikable. Add to that her unbridled dislike for Americans and well-documented contempt, if not outright hatred for so-called working class people sans the melanin she displays.

Following are just a few things she would need people not to remember. In my November 25, 2019, syndicated column titled: Michelle Obama Thinks She’s Funny Mocking Whites, I reported:

At the Obama Foundation Summit, October 29, 2019, the bitter harridan made it a point to as the Washington Post put it; “share the painful memories of growing up in Chicago’s South Side and [give] a reminder to white people in the audience: Y’all were running from us, and you’re still running.” The obnoxious woman must have thought it would tug on the heart strings of sensible people when she opined: “As we moved in, white folks moved out, because they were afraid of what our families represented.”

She claimed that white people moving “left the communities in shambles.” Her hatred was laid bare for all to see as she continued with: “There were no territorial battles. Yet one by one, they packed their bags, and they ran from us.”

Michelle’s Princeton thesis was made unavailable until Nov. 5, 2008 (interestingly the day after the election). “Why a restricted thesis?” asked blogger-Pastor Louis Lapides on his [website], Thinking Outside the Blog. Is the concern based on what’s in the thesis?” (“Michelle Obama Thesis was on Racial Divide”; Jeffrey Ressner; politico.com; Feb. 23, 2008) In a blog post on Political Night Train, entitled “Michelle Obama’s Princeton Thesis – Her Black Values Revealed,” the author exposes her views of whites in unfettered and unflattering detail (politicalrighttrain.com; Feb. 26, 2008)

The Obama woman should understand that she’s disliked because she is unlikable. She is unlikable because she is vengeful and self-absorbed. She is a disgustingly unflattering and ill-mannered woman who prostitutes herself as the cartoon caricature of the manifestation she aspires not to be, but at the end of the day, it’s the only thing she knows how to be.

In my November 13, 2018, syndicated column titled: Poor Michelle Obama: How Sad For Her; I reminded people of the following:

She spent eight years redefining usufruct. She spent eight years living like royalty right from a Shakespearean drama, replete with drunkenness, gluttony and marital infidelity. She spent eight years treating the American taxpayers as her personal American Express Black Card, the most exclusive credit card available today.

In my May 14, 2015, syndicated column, titled: Michelle Obama: Most Shameful First Lady in History; I reminded people:

The Obama woman left no piles of manure not stepped in, as she waddled through the chicken yard of fomenting racial acrimony. She was as unoriginal as rain in the springtime in her feigned laments, but if old lies work why tell new ones?

She used the decorative position she enjoys as her personal taxpayer-provided American Express Black Card, arguably the most exclusive credit card in the world. She has used her position to spend, glut, gobble, and drink like no other woman in her position before her and doubtful after her.

In the column just referenced, I also included the DailyMail.co.uk article that put dollar figures to how she lived as the so-called first lady, including her boozing adventures.

The facts mentioned herein are just the tip of what this woman is like. It should also be noted that mystery still surrounds exactly what she did to lose her law license.

Be assured, I do believe that the Democrats are planning or have a plan to rid themselves of Biden and Harris; but, I don’t believe it will be with the Obama woman. I think there’s more of a chance they try Gavin Newsom than there is they pick her – and I’m not sold on them trying him.

The ploy is: whomever the Democrats select to replace Biden and Harris, that person will be hailed as a brilliant move.  Every talking head and poll quoted will show the person unbeatable by Donald Trump, as the Democrats work to execute a plan to steal another election.  And nothing, absolutely nothing makes me believe the election wasn’t stolen.  They just used a different method than was employed when Kennedy stole the 1960 election from Richard Nixon – but they stole it nonetheless.

These are my thoughts. Of course I could be wrong.  That being said, the Democrats as the eruditionists they believe themselves to be.  If I’m wrong and they do go with the Obama woman, I predict Trump in a landslide, theft attempt notwithstanding.

Hawaiian Racism and the Maui Fires

Daniel Greenfield September 01, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog  

When Christopher Kunzelman’s wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he asked her where she wanted to spend the last days of her life.  She chose Maui.

Kunzelman came from Scottsboro, Arizona, bought a house and prepared to move his family in, but he soon learned that he did not belong there. Locals warned him “this is a Hawaiian village. The only thing coming from the outside is the electricity,” and “you don’t even belong in Hawaii.”

While he was moving in the furniture, two men showed up. They told him, “You seem like a nice guy, but you’re the wrong color for this place.” When he didn’t get the message, one of the men told him, “your skin is the wrong f****** color.” and hit him on the back of the head with a shovel.

The Polynesian islanders beat him with the shovel, punched him, and kicked him in the ribs while he lay unconscious. They told him, “No white man is ever going to live here.”

Kunzelman regained consciousness and made his escape while the two men were discussing how to kill him and his uncle. But when he made it to the hospital, the police refused to do anything even though he had severe injuries and had recorded part of the incident on video.

Meanwhile one of the attackers went out and assaulted another white man.

The Maui attackers had told Kunzelman, “We’re the law, we’re the police, the police have our backs, we’re the ones who make the laws, we’re the ones who enforce the laws, we’re the judge in Kahakuloa, and we’re the ones who decide if you live or die.”

And it seemed they were right. The Kunzelmans were never able to sell the house because it wasn’t safe to live there.

When the men were finally arrested, they got off with probation while Kunzelman lost vision in one eye. That was in 2014. The hate crime victim never stopped campaigning for justice and federal charges were finally brought and the men were sentenced to prison in March 2023.

Had the races in the Maui assault been reversed, we would have all heard about it. Not only did we not hear about it, but local leftist activists and the media rallied in support of the attackers.

An Associated Press article claimed that two racist thugs beating a man and planning to kill him reflects “Hawaii’s nuanced and complicated relationship with race.”

That’s not how attacks on black people moving into white neighborhoods were described.

Hawaii Public Radio, an NPR member, provided “context” and “complex history” for the case. A Hawaiian language professor blamed white colonialism, called the vicious assault a “clash of cultural values”, and worried that ‘Haole’, the slur that the Polynesian attackers had used, would make them “fearful of expressing ourselves using our own language in our own homeland”.

Another leftist professor claimed that ‘Haole’ is a legitimate slur because it names “colonial settler whiteness” and that the assault should be ignored because the real problem was “settler colonialism”. The article contained no quotes from the victim. Not even his name.

Hawaii Maui College hosted an event defending the vicious racist attackers in which a leftist activist complained that, “these young men had already been pled guilty in the state system, but that wasn’t good enough. They’re being used as scapegoats for the white culture to teach everybody else a lesson.”

The Kunzelman case can help us understand what happened before and after the Maui fires.

What looks like incompetence by government officials really reflects an ongoing racial conflict. Leftist activists, most of them white or black, have organized some activist Polynesian residents (often wrongly referred to as native Hawaiians) along the American Indian or Australian aboriginal model into their own system with extensive leverage over the bureaucracy.

Ongoing conflicts over water rights between plantations and so-called ‘native cultivation” led to a denial of water to fight the fires. The widely reported denial of water by M. Kaleo Manuel, the deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management, to fight the fires led to national outrage, but local pro-Polynesian activists and the media rallied to his defense since what he was really defending was ‘native cultivation’ against the sugar cane plantations.

Even with the wildfires going on, the Hawaii Supreme Court rejected a petition from the state government to free up water to fight the fires. The state was not allowed to divert water from that being wasted for “customary Hawaiian practices and ecological balance”.

The court ruled that the state government had not shown a “clear and indisputable right to the relief requested” that being the use of the water needed to put out the fires instead of using it to inefficiently grow the ‘Taro’ plant: an Asian root vegetable that we are told by activists is specially sacred to Hawaii even though it’s grown and eaten all over Asia and even Africa.

Taro requires a lot of fresh flowing water, especially when grown the ‘native’ way, and ‘traditional methods’ ignore all the accomplishments of modern agriculture to grow it in the most wasteful way possible. Taro plants suffer from innumerable diseases while the ‘native’ approach is to ignore modern cross-breeding methods that would make the crops more resilient.

Nigeria grows and exports Taro around the world, while Hawaii’s ‘native agriculture’ is so hopeless that the state has to import 2 million pounds of its ‘sacred vegetable.’ If you visit Hawaii, the Taro you eat could very well be coming from Nigeria or China. But growing Taro the traditional way isn’t about functional agriculture, but striking a blow against the plantations.

And denying the plantations the water they needed to fight fires, like the Kunzelman assault, was about striking a blow against the hated ‘Haoles’ who colonized the land after the Polynesians had originally colonized it by enslaving the original inhabitants, tattooing their heads and then using them as human sacrifices while making Captain Cook look like a saint.

Growing Taro the ‘native way’ was more important than fighting fires and saving lives. Local activists have shown little interest in the wildfires which may have claimed hundreds of lives, but view the fires as a colonialist conspiracy to take away water rights from a bureaucracy of “indigenous” activists. ‘Native rights’ matter much more than fighting wildfires or human life.

The ‘missteps’ that killed people, from failing to sound the sirens to setting up a barricade that blocked drivers trying to escape the fires, are typical of an insular society where things are often done informally and outsider ‘Haoles’ are deliberately denied the information they need unless they have lived there long enough to cultivate relationships and get a feel for what is going on.

Much of Hawaii operates by third world rules that subvert American norms. Corrupt cronyism is ubiquitous. Rules, including safety regulations, are only honored in the breach. And resentment toward mainlanders, while not universal, is enough of a factor that the perpetrators of the Kunzelman assault could not only expect to get away with it, but they nearly did.

What role did all of those factors play in the record wildfire deaths? The answer is some. It will be very hard to separate disdain from malice, an obsession with maintaining a racial power struggle even during a crisis, a disregard for outsiders that under normal circumstances might be merely inconvenient but in this case proved fatal, and line up a specific body count.

But what happened is what leftists in America call “systemic racism”.

The system in Hawaii, while often headed by Americans, is handicapped by a significant presence of ‘indigenous’ activists who may be merely neglectful or actively hostile. And there’s little question that some people of all races died because of the systemic racism of a setup that treated outsiders as despised interlopers and used informal, rather than formal, systems.

That is the story of the Maui wildfires that no one will tell. It’s the background behind the tragedy.

After the wildfires, the battle over land and water will continue to be fought between leftist groups like the Sierra Club and its Polynesian activist allies, and everyone else. Hawaii’s original Polynesian colonists are not villains in this. Most of them simply want to live their lives. Like minority communities in America, leftists have recruited ugly, racist and radical elements from among them and weaponized them to seize power and wreck their share of the country.

The Maui wildfires, like the aftermath of disasters in Puerto Rico or the misery in urban inner cities in America, reflect an inculcated culture of systemic racism, victimhood and dysfunction.

The damage from the wildfires will heal, but the underlying crisis of Hawaii will continue.

A decade ago, Christopher Kunzelman was told that, “no white man is ever going to live here.” Hawaiian activists worsened the impact of the wildfires to make sure that “no white man is ever going to live” in a much broader swath of Hawaii than just one house in one village.

How a White Man Got Rich Denouncing ‘Rich White Men’

By Daniel Greenfield July 03, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog

 If you give Garrett Neiman $29.95, he will tell you how terrible rich white men are in his new book, “Rich White Men: What It Takes to Uproot the Old Boys’ Club and Transform America“.

Neiman, previously the author of “The Case For Why I Should Pay Reparations”, is a rich white man who, as far as his bio indicates, has never worked at an actual job in his life. While his booking agent informs us that, “in his spare time, Garrett likes to run, travel and try new restaurants”, the Harvard grad gets paid by rich white men to tell us how awful they are.

This woke sadomasochism finally culminated in the nepo baby writing a book funded by the Ford Foundation about the evils of people like them. In a perfect synergy, the book’s introduction comes from Robin DiAngelo: a white woman who got rich calling white women racists.

In his opening chapter, Garrett reveals his privilege of asking “a wealthy white couple if I could borrow their lake house for a month rent free so I could write under ideal conditions.” And then from the lake house, he took a break from his demanding job advocating for racial reparations at a black-led organization to write a book about the sheer awfulness of rich white people.

Especially all those who don’t provide free lake houses for professional class warriors.

Garrett, who has spent his career jumping from one social justice venture to another, is a pro whose entire existence serves no other purpose than to expose the hypocrisy of social justice.

What does it take to “uproot the old boys’ club”? A book deal with Hachette, one of the biggest publishers in the world owned by Arnaud Lagardère, a French billionaire, whose company also put out, “In Defense of Looting”, and representation from the William Morris Endeavor Agency: which also reps Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and is run by super-agent Ari Emanuel.

Arise oppressed workers of the world, cast off your chains and phone your agent.

Also helping Garrett uproot that old boys club is the WEF, he’s a World Economic Forum Shaper, a Milken Institute Young Leader, a Goldman Sachs Intriguing Entrepreneur, a McKinsey Associate and other vanguards of the working class revolution.

“I wasn’t always aware of the ways unearned advantages have helped me to get ahead,” Garrett writes before becoming aware of “my trajectory as a wealthy white man.”

That’s why in 2019, Garrett raised “$1.3 million from a dozen major donors to launch a new field building organization fueling America’s Black-led racial repair movement”. Fresh from leading a “black-led” movement, Garrett joined Prosperity Now, a “leading racial economic justice organization”, as a Senior Racial Equity Fellow to help black people close the wealth gap.

Even though the most obvious way for Garrett to close the wealth gap with black people would be to stop being a rich white man by giving all his money (and his job) to black people.

But if Garrett were no longer a rich white man, how would he get jobs denouncing them? As a poor white man, Garrett’s existence would challenge the concept of white privilege. So he must remain rich, not because he enjoys life in Ann Arbor, but to serve as an example of everything that is wrong with our society, and to get jobs and book deals based on his wrongness.

It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Garrett once “courted billionaires and other powerful white men, ‘only to discover they were part of the problem,’” Prosperity Now’s press release informs us.

Prosperity Now is funded by Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation and Bank of America.

Garrett claims that he’ll be helping Prosperity Now “manage and reduce predictable white backlash” with the support of Target, Wells Fargo, MetLife and other black minority groups.

In 2013, a puff piece on Neiman begins by noting that, “when foundations started tightening their belts after the economy took a nosedive five years ago, Garrett Neiman knew where to turn to find support for his fledgling charity: wealthy individuals.”

Wealthy individuals continue to subsidize his prolonged career in social justice.

The Left is built up out of Garrett Neimans, Ivy League grads who create non-profit startups and then hop from one startup to another. Garrett’s bio informs us that he “has co-founded three nonprofit organizations” since 2008. His girlfriend, an Indian doctor, apart from being a med student, managed to found two of her own groups. What starts out as a gimmick for getting into a good college then becomes a lifelong career of leftist politics funded by… rich white men.

To understand the woke nightmare we’re living, it’s as good a place to start as any.

Garrett Neiman co-founded Liberation Ventures, the “black-run” movement, with Aria Florant, a fellow Harvard student and McKinsey vet. The incestuous hellscape of Harvard students and McKinsey consultants, the intertwining of corporate DEI and billionaires funding class warfare is how we ended up with a parasitic professional managerial class of activists with careers, not convictions, who get jobs campaigning against their own existence.

What does Neiman truly believe?

Currently, the Talented Mister Nieman describes himself as a “wealthy white man”, and the “beneficiary of inheritance”, but a few years ago when he was pitching Harvard, he related how “my dad worked seventy hour weeks turning around a struggling day care center”.

When convenient, Garrett is a poor white man and when convenient, he’s a rich white man.

In a hilariously performative outburst, Garrett reveals learning that his great-grandfather did not like black people. “When my Dad shared our family secret with me, I inherited the ghost of my great grandfather’s racism. I felt the Monster living inside me. I still do,” Garrett agonizes. He waits until his Indian girlfriend gets home to tell him. “By the time she got home, I felt like I was covered in blood, that I had done something horrible I didn’t know I was capable of. A voice in my head was pleading. I’m the same person. I promise. Please believe me. Would she understand? Would she see me differently? Would she trust me less? Would she still love me?”

(Conveniently left unasked is the question about how racially tolerant his girlfriend’s Brahmin great-grandpa was. Or how racially tolerant anyone born in the 19th century really was.)

Garrett calls this white shame, but it’s really a theatrical posturing of exaggerated sensitivity, mining the distant past for materials to dramatize into fake promotional moral crises. The more hidden racism Garrett discovers, the more he can dedicate his career to atoning for it by getting racial equity jobs and writing books denouncing the horrible racism of rich white men like him.

It’s little wonder that Robin DiAngelo saw in Garrett another of her kind.

Present day elites may wear different outfits, but fundamentally they function the same way. There are economic elites, ‘rich white men’ who actually do productive things, and social elites who gatekeep, gobble up resources and wreck society in order to shore up their power.

Garrett, like most leftists, dishonestly equate the two, and that stands to reason because the leftist activist class, from Engels to Neiman, fall into the category of social elites, who create nothing, but gain power by manufacturing status from their posturing on the public stage.

The old social elites were often useless, but at least ornamental. Garrett, who boasts of having worked with Google, interviewing Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and of having been a voting member of Stanford’s Board of Trustees, has all the status of the elites he decries, is certainly not productive, not remotely ornamental, and has built his career on wrecking America.

“Today, on Juneteenth, I am committing to dedicate the rest of my career and life to advancing racial justice,” Garrett Neiman declared three years ago.

Black people, white people, and all people might benefit if Garrett gave up his commitment to cashing in on black pain and white guilt and got a real job. Any job. His great-grandfather, whom he denounces as a racist, started a pickle plant. Garrett could go and run his own pickle plant, but that would mean actually working for a living. Becoming a rich white man by advancing racial justice is much easier than becoming rich by working for a living.

That’s why the stores are empty and the social justice organizations are full. Daniel Greenfield is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

Are 'White People Committed to Being Villains'?

May 24, 2023 By Raymond Ibrahim

As discussed elsewhere, historical relations between Islam and the West have been utterly distorted in order to present the aggressors as victims and the victims as aggressors.  In this article, we look at a similar but even more urgent topic: how history in general has been intentionally distorted in a way that makes segments of the nonwhite population hate, despise, and even want to murder whites. This is no exaggeration.  In a speech late last year, Brittney Cooper, a black associate professor at Rutgers University, spewed so much hate against "white people," to the point of concluding, "We got to take these MFers out!"  (Needless to say, she still teaches at Rutgers.)

At one point during her racist rant, Cooper said:..........To Read More....

Daniel Greenfield Unleashed

By Rich Kozlovich 

Daniel Greenfield touches every base with it comes to the issues facing the nation, and the world, and does so with indisputable facts, history, logic and conclusions that are hard to disagree with.  The Afghanistan pull out was a disaster in planning and a massive and disgusting disaster of character.  I served, and I despised the officers.  I still despise the officers.  This disgusting Afghanistan pull out is in my opinion a classic of example of why they deserved to be despised, and what's worse, everything they did actually exacerbated Jihadi actions, the world is laughing at America, and the nations of the world are abandoning Biden, and if he, or someone like him, is elected in 2024, America will be lost.   

Racism is rampant in America, and it's all on the side of black racists who are running out of control and the two Obama administration terms, and now the third Obama term, AKA, Biden administration is totally responsible for all of that.  We're now seeing backlash over Hollywood "racewashing" characters in this latest Cleopatra movie, but this isn't new.  Years ago there was a Robin Hood show with a black Guinevere.  Why is that acceptable? If it were in reverse the media and leftist race hustlers would be screaming to high heaven.  

I've decided to start this edition of Daniel Greenfield Unleashed with this piece, although out of order of publication, I think it's foundational to everything Daniel says.   So, let me ask, what's wrong with this picture?  The baby is white and was murdered by two black teens.  If this baby had been black and murdered by two white teens this would be 24/7 hysteria, riots, and demands for their immediate execution.  But in this case.....since this child is white, this child's death is "merely" a misdemeanor.  

 

Chicago Soros DA Treats Killing of 6-Month-Old Baby as a Misdemeanor "He suggested that we put balloons, because they'll be the only balloons that he'll ever receive."   Soros DA Kim Foxx is committed to social justice and ending mass incarceration. What that means is that killing a baby is a misdemeanor and not just at the offices of Planned Parenthood. Two teenage boys are facing only misdemeanor charges after they allegedly stole a car and crashed it into another vehicle, killing a 6-month-old baby in Chicago last week. The 6-month-old boy, Cristian Uvidia, died in the hospital following the crash. As of Sunday evening, a Chicago police spokesperson said no further charges have been brought against the teen boys. Rivera called the misdemeanor charges “disheartening” in an interview with Fox 32 Chicago. People are now asking the Soros DA to have something resembling human feelings in place of her racist black nationalism and fervent love for criminals and actually do her damn job. For once............

AOC, Under Ethics Investigation, Demands Justice Thomas Resign - "His reputation is unsalvageable."  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wasn’t around for Round 1. It’s understandable that she doesn’t remember how Justice Clarence Thomas stood strong during the Anita Hill smear campaign. But Sen. Ed Markey was around. Like Biden, he’s just forgotten.  Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) on Monday called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign amid controversy over the justice’s financial disclosures and ethical concerns about the nation’s highest court.  “I will say what needs to be said: Clarence Thomas should resign from the Supreme Court of the United States. His reputation is unsalvageable,” Markey said at an event to advocate for Supreme Court reforms.  Famous last words...............

San Francisco Surrenders to Conservative States - San Francisco will no longer boycott 30 states that passed conservative laws.  California is infamous for a lot of nuttery. One of the more unique government examples may be the state’s boycott of any state that protects religious freedom or in any way dissents from the radical leftist agenda. The city of San Francisco was boycotting the majority of the United States — 28 states that did not pass the city’s criterion regarding anti-LGBTQ laws, anti-abortion laws, or restrictive election laws disproportionately affecting people of color. In the intervening seven months, that tally has grown: The city presently cannot contract with businesses headquartered in 30 states, nor can city employees visit those states on official business. Money is tighter these days and San Francisco was losing money because of its boycott of America...........

Syrian Refugees Busted Plotting Suicide Bombing in Germany - "To blow himself up" and "take as many infidels as possible with him" - The acceptance of the massive Muslim migrant flood into Europe was a case of the region, and especially Germany, committing voluntary suicide. Wir Schaffen Das was criminal madness lubricated by a torrent of lies that denied that the migrants could possibly pose a terrorist threat. But the threat only keeps on growing.............Reports are that the men arrived in 2015 around the peak of the migrant invasion................

Blame Biden’s Brittney Griner Deal for Evan Gershkovich’s Imprisonment - Every America abroad has become a potential hostage. If the media had a microgram of integrity, it would admit that Evan Gershkovich is locked up because Biden chose to pander to his woke base by giving the Russians everything they wanted in exchange for a druggie WNBA player who hated America, and became a cause celebre for his leftist racist base. The Brittney Griner sent the message that our enemies could get anything they wanted if they took Americans hostage. What did Biden and his supporters think they were going to do next?  Now the butcher’s bill is about to be presented..........

Study Shows People Less Likely to Support Environmentalists When They Vandalize Their Cars - "It’s time for action, so there is little point in calming down SUV owners.” The British Extinction Rebelling eco-vandals are making their way to this country. After their more aggressive cousins showed up, ‘Tyre Extinction’, a band of courageous planeteers who fought global warming by punching holes in people’s tires so that they have to use even more energy getting new ones, is courageously operating in Beacon Hill..........

UK Evacuating Brits from Sudan, Biden Refuses to Evac Americans - “It is not our standard procedure to evacuate American citizens."  Once again the UK and European countries are evacuating their citizens from Sudan while Biden, just as in Afghanistan, tells Americans to go pound sand and his media lackeys assure us that this is completely normal. As the violent struggle for power over Sudan reaches the one-week mark, the Biden administration is sticking firmly to its warning for private citizens: don’t expect to be rescued. While the administration says it is working towards evacuating American embassy staff still stranded in the country, it makes no promises about other Americans who could get let behind. Unless they’re druggie woke lesbian WNBA players. Otherwise they’re on their own. And yet the UK is evacuating its citizens.

NYU Prof Denounces ‘Venus de Milo’ as White Supremacist. It is made out of white marble so it must be racist. We don’t know exactly who broke the Venus de Milo, but we know who will break it now if they get the chance. The same leftists who tore down statues in America and vandalized European paintings. Now they’re accusing the famous armless statue of white supremacy. It is made out of white marble after all. NYU professor Nicholas Mirzoeff has written a book, White Sight: Visual Politics and Practices of Whiteness, explaining that “classic works of art, face masks, or drones”, “cultural icons such as sculptures of Apollo Belvedere and Venus de Milo” and “Confederate monuments” were all propping up ‘whiteness’..............

Biden Flees Sudan, Leaves Americans Behind Again - In Afghanistan, the British and French took the lead in getting their people out while Biden’s generals yelled at them to stop rescuing their people because it made them look bad. An American convoy came under fire in Sudan. France and Italy are evacuating their citizens. The Democrat surrender monkeys in D.C. have a familiar message. “Sorry you guys, you’re on your own. What do you think we’re a great power or something?”..........

WB to Celebrate Anniversary With Diverse Version of Robin Hood - Why do I suspect Robin Hood is going to be a black woman? Warner Bros has nothing to do with the actual Warners brothers who were Jewish Republicans. It’s just another brand owned by a sprawling media monstrosity that, like the rest of the industry, is dedicated to pumping out recycled versions of its own intellectual properties and disguising that by making them more “diverse”. With diverse versions of the X-Files, the Little Mermaid and King of the Hill on their way, why not enjoy some butchered classics with more exclusively inclusive and diverse (no white people, please) casting?...........

The Media Won’t Stop Lying About Crime in Liberal Areas - There was a time when the media was biased. That’s long since past. The media is just an arm of the left wing of the Democrats and is dedicated to pumping out whatever political narratives help its faction. Since the Dems are getting whacked on crime over their embrace of pro-crime politics, the media is doubling and tripling down on claims that crime is actually worse in conservative areas.......

ISIS Coordinating Attacks on US Out of Afghanistan - Biden's withdrawal really paid off. For ISIS.  The Jihad goes on. And after Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the country is back to being a staging ground for Islamic terrorist attacks around the world, as it was always inevitably going to be. Anything else was wishful thinking. All the Biden people who told us this wasn’t going to happen after the withdrawal were lying. Now we’re back to either having to carry out preemptive strikes in enemy territory or hoping that the terrorists never manage to pull off any of their crowdsourced attacks..............

Biden to Default Economy to Protect Electric Car Tax Credits for the Rich - "They’d rather threaten to default the U.S. economy." How determined is Biden to continue the Inflation Increase Act’s corrupt green subsidies? This determined. President Biden on Friday swiped at Republican calls to end clean energy tax cuts as part of a debt limit increase as he signed an executive order creating a new White House Office of Environmental Justice. “The MAGA Republicans in Congress want to repeal climate protections in the Inflation Reduction Act. They’d rather threaten to default the U.S. economy … than get rid of $30 billion in taxpayer subsidies to an oil industry that made $200 billion last year,” he said. Oil and gas power the US economy especially at the working class level................

Akron Cops Banned From Removing BLM Racists Blocking Traffic - Ambulance needs to urgently get a patient to the hospital? Sorry, it ain't happening.  Ambulance needs to urgently get a patient to the hospital? Sorry, it ain’t happening. Some members of a racist hate group have decided to block traffic to protest in support of a thug who opened fire on police officers.  ................BLM can block traffic and keep ambulances from saving people’s lives, but police can’t even push them. How do the cops arrest them under those conditions? They can’t.  This is what a racist two-tier system looks like. BLM is allowed to do anything it likes and law enforcement can’t even respond............

Daniel Greenfield Unleashed

By Rich Kozlovich 

Another week with Daniel Greenfield, and it's worth the time. This week we've had the usual leftist clabber over racism and how black criminals need to be treated with respect, and that's coming from the elected leaders of the nation who swore to uphold the Constitution, the nation's laws, protect the innocent, and punish the guilty.  All of which they're failing to do, and truth be told, the people elected these misfits and will get exactly what the voted for, and what they deserve. Schadenfreude! 

Anyone with delusions about America's leaders in government or commerce supporting America and Americans need to disabuse themselves of such silliness.  It's like that cold war joke that went around dealing with the mess created by Stalin's "five year" agricultural plans.  It went something like this:  

The manager of the state collective farm was dreading his annual meeting with the Commissar for Agriculture to discuss the harvest which, once again, had been dismal and far below state quota.  From behind his desk, framed photos of Stalin and Lysenko on the wall above him, the Commissar opened, “And so, Comrade Manager. Tell me about the potato harvest.”

Thinking quickly, the manager blurted out, “Comrade Commissar, there are so many potatoes you could pile them up past God’s knees.” The Commissar was genuinely taken aback by this casual repudiation of official atheism. “Comrade Manager! You surely know there is no God!”  “And, Comrade Commissar, you surely know there are no potatoes.”

Virtually everything we're seeing has now exposed what's been going on with the leadership in America today, and it's just another cold war joke.  Surely, we know there is no integrity in government, commercial interests, academia and science sold any integrity they possessed long ago joining the Church of Wokeness. 

Quoting Jared Peterson:

America’s  ruling elite bears the overwhelming share of responsibility for the Biden catastrophe. It was they at all levels -- finance, corporate, governmental, security agencies, media and judiciary -- that engineered and enabled the Biden coup. And I also agree with the author that Biden has been an unprecedented domestic disaster. We will probably never recover from it, certainly never, if Biden gets a second term, which seems highly likely.

House Dems Complain of Arrest of Sheikh Who Called for War on America - "We must wage unceasing war against the Americans".   Remember when Congressmembers would actually appeal on behalf of the human rights of actual political dissidents, not terrorists, murderers and enemies of the United States? The Arab Spring and its horrors are mostly in the rearview mirror but the Muslim Brotherhood and its imitators are not gone and they haven’t given up. And the D.C. political class has not given up on Islamists. After the arrest of Tunisia’s Islamist leader Rashid Ghannouchi, House Democrats, under the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a statement “following the sudden arrest of #Tunisia’s opposition leader, Rachid al-Ghannouchi”. The statement blathers on about “forcibly closures of political party offices and bans on free assembly of certain political groups” without ever mentioning that those certain groups are Islamists and quite dangerous.........

Intel Letter Calling Hunter Biden Laptop a Russian Op Arranged by Biden Campaign - The House Judiciary Committee got one of the 51 intel signers to flip - It only took two and a half years to admit the obvious. That the Biden campaign was behind the letter of 51 ex-intel officers falsely claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian operation was obvious. And the stunt would have been politics as usual if not for the fact that the officials were leveraging official positions and supposed access to secret intelligence to make those claims. And, more importantly, those claims were then used to engage to coordinate a Big Tech censorship campaign to prevent the story from spreading on social media. And the media promoted the letter as a fact and used it to justify not reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop during the election or describing it as Russian disinformation. The House Judiciary Committee got one of the 51 to flip................

Feminist Head of Women’s History Museum Accused of Covering Up Sexual Harassment -The Smithsonian's woke museums need to go. It never fails. I’ve pointed out that Kamala Harris had a history of covering up sexual harassment. So did a number of other top Democrat feminists. Like most forms of leftism, identity politics offers the power to commit the abuses it claims to fight. Why should the Smithsonian’s American Women’s History Museum be any different?.........

Trump DA Bragg Badly Blows Case Before Fed Judge - Like most prog prosecutors, there’s no reason to think that DA Alvin Bragg is any good in the courtroom. Some prog prosecutors are dedicated fanatics, but genuinely good prosecutors tend to be more interested in doing things than in not doing them. And Bragg has always struck me as lazy, inept and half-assed. His office’s feeble attempts to battle against a House GOP subpoena in front of a federal judge make that case............

Biden Admin Obstructing Afghan Investigation On All Fronts. - These are serious grounds for impeachment. Nearly a year after I wrote this, House hearings made it clear that the Biden administration is still illegally obstructing the Afghanistan watchdog. In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s office (SIGAR), dispatched letters to Secretary of State Blinken and Samantha Power complaining that the State Department and USAID were stonewalling its investigation of waste, corruption and terror cash................Fast forward to late April 2023 and SIGAR is still being illegally obstructed by the Biden regime............

Credentialism, Crisis and Censorship: How the Left Eliminated Debate  - Everything that progressive fascists believe is now an official fact.  “The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of the Big Lie,” authored by a CBS reporter and a political activist, is the latest effort by leftists to wrap themselves in the banner of truth. Media bias has shed its protective coloration of neutrality and blares that its side, leftists, represent the truth and conservatives the ‘lie’. The title of the “The Big Truth”, an otherwise forgettable exercise in virtue signaling, is interesting only because it so perfectly encompasses a media feed that is a mad libs game of “X Republican lied, Y Democrat hopes truth will win out.”..............

Biden Shows ‘White Lives Don’t Matter’ - Sorry, wrong race. Try losing the love of your life while being black next time.  The cases of Ralph Yarl and Kaylin Gillis are all over the news now. Both Ralph and Kaylin were shot by elderly homeowners who were overreacting to what they may have thought were trespassers. Both cases are in the news. But they’re getting a very different treatment. One guess as to why. Ralph Yarl armed only with ‘black skin,’ family lawyer says.  That’s true, insofar as Ralph’s skin color was the only reason his case is being blown up and treated as a racist attack despite the lack of a single shred of supporting evidence.............

Biden’s Black Astronaut Reads Anti-White Poem to Prep for Mission  - Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early.

NASA astronaut Victor Glover, recently named as the pilot of the Artemis II mission around the Moon, listens to Gil Scott-Heron’s poem “Whitey on the Moon” twice a week on the way to work.

Maybe doing some actual mission prep would be more helpful? But we’re dealing with wokes here. So signaling their virtue and, in typical fashion, preemptively dumping on whatever task they’re going to screw up anyway is more important than the actual mission..............

Stop Enforcing the Law and People Will Start Killing Each Other - See if you can spot what these two stories have in common. 

1. Saratoga County Woman Killed After Turning into Wrong Driveway – Albany Times Union 84-
2. Year-Old Is Charged in Shooting of Black Teenager Who Went to Wrong House – New York Times

The media, by which I mean the Left, has with utter racist predictably begun waving the bloody shirt about the second case. The tawdry movement is cheerfully organizing a lynch mob for an 84-year-old man, not on the merits of the case, but because of the racial identity markers in that headline. Had the races been reversed or if both participants in the tragedy were black or white, we would either not hear about it or the story would be about “gun violence”.................

How Bush’s Globalism Gave Us a Transgender Bud Lite -What happens when American companies stop being American.  The story of how Budweiser went from a patriotic traditional values company to launching a creepy Bud Lite campaign featuring Dylan Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a little girl, began with the Bush administration when, after 150 years, Anheuser-Busch ceased to be an American company. Today it’s just another subsidiary of a Belgian-Brazilian multinational. Except for its St. Louis employees, few noticed the difference when Anheuser-Busch became InBev, and the United States government failed to object to the hostile takeover. While the majority of Americans, and the governor of Missouri, opposed the move, the Bush administration did not. The media fashionably sneered at a campaign against the hostile takeover which called for fighting the “foreign invasion”. Eventually the company surrendered...........

New Chicago Mayor Warns Against Demonizing Thugs Who Beat Man -"It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities"  I warned that whatever came after Mayor Lori Lightfoot was going to be much worse. And it’s happening.  Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson, the democratic choice of Democrat Party ballot harvesters and the Cook County Cemetery Voters Association is making it clear once again that he stands with criminals and against victims...............Starved of opportunities? Who starved them? Of what opportunities? ........

Store That Endorsed BLM Forced to Close Due to “Safety Issues” - Woke companies thought that they were drilling a hole in our side of the boat when they endorsed racist mobs and shutting down the police. Little did they understand that they were in the same boat with us. During the BLM riots, outdoor retailer REI promoted its support for the racist movement...............Sorry community, REI’s running for the hills. Good luck achieving your ideals in your community while being robbed, shot and stabbed by BLM’s heroes...........

TikTok Kills Another Child - Jacob was on a ventilator for almost a week before he died. A 13-year-old in Ohio has died after “he took a bunch of Benadryl,” trying a dangerous TikTok challenge that’s circulating online, according to a CNN affiliate and a GoFundMe account from his family. Jacob Stevens was participating in a TikTok challenge with some friends at home when he ingested the antihistamine, the family donation account states. Jacob was on a ventilator for almost a week before he died, according to WSYX. Quite a few kids have died due to TikTok challenges being pushed into their timeline..........

 NYC Mayor to Cut Carbon Emissions by Cutting Off Food - The American Left is just Pol Pot in slow motion. The global warming scam is just an excuse to take everything away from you to save the planet. Everything? Yes, everything............Just like cars and individual liberty, the food will have to go. New Yorkers will look back nostalgically for the days when Mayor Bloomberg merely wanted to cut salt and ban soda. They’re coming for your meat, fish and eggs.............

Putting fertilizer on the seeds of division

March 17, 2023 By Pete Colan

Our country is openly and actively discriminating against straight whites, doing nothing but fertilizing the seeds of division the left has already sown. One of the most prestigious Catholic schools in the country, one that prides itself on being "Catholic, and a University" and "Notre Dame's Catholic character informs all it does," is hosting one of the most racist and discriminatory events I have seen in my lifetime.  It is called "Expanding Your Horizons at Notre Dame."This event "is a conference for girls* in middle school (Grades 6-8).  This day-long event will include hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).".............To Read More....

NHS bosses want interview panels to justify why they have hired a white person over candidates from ethnic minorities

By Jim Norton 26 December 2022 

Woke NHS bosses are forcing interview panels to explain why they have hired a white person over someone from an ethnic minority, the Daily Mail can reveal. A policy at the Royal Free in north London requires staff to compile reports justifying why the successful candidate was deemed ‘more suitable’.  They must write to the trust’s chief executive with evidence on how they scored the non-white applicant and come up with suggestions on how the candidate can improve for next time.  ............

Clarence Thomas, Affirmative Action and the Constitution

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Over the course of my 76 years I've seen a lot of Supreme Court Justices come and go, and most of them I found seriously wanting when it came to understanding what the Constitution said and meant.  Did they really not know? No, they knew, but they needed to find a way to social engineer from the bench so they created what's called Penumbras and Emanations of the Constitution. Neither of which anyone can find in the Constitution.  

 

 "In United States constitutional law, the penumbra includes a group of rights derived, by implication, from other rights explicitly protected in the Bill of Rights. These rights have been identified through a process of "reasoning-by-interpolation", (Interpolation - the insertion of something of a different nature into something else) where specific principles are recognized from "general idea" that are explicitly expressed in other constitutional provisions......." 

 

"In Griswold, Justice William O. Douglas explained that "specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance".

 

What a bunch of gobbledygook to justify their creation of a system of judicial overreach and abuse, abetted by cowardly Congresses that never put a stop to it.  The Constitution gives the Congress the authority to determine the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary,  not the Supreme Court, and it's long past time they started doing so.  They can start by passing a 28th Amendment.  More here on that.

 

The word penumbra originally was a scientific term "created to describe the shadows that occur during eclipses." And I think the word shadows is more than appropriate when its used in relationship with the Constitution.  

 

As for "emanations", that's even more intangible, as it means either:  the act of emitting; causing to flow forth; a theological concept of the origination of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. 

 

Well, I think the last one is the one SCOTUS embraced giving them a divine mission to alter society to their liking, because I don't see penumbras and emanations as anything except an excuse for outrageous judicial abuses of the Constitution and the separation of powers.  Nothing short of inappropriate rationalizations that seem more like mysticism than jurisprudence to me.

 

It was thought Justice Scalia was the real conservative brain and Constitutional scholar of the court, and  Clearance Thomas was merely his cats paw.  I knew better.  I read his book, My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir.  I can honestly say I think Clearance Thomas is the most  illustrious Supreme Court Justice in my lifetime.  The reason why is he's so illustrious?   He adheres to the basic concept of definition.  Definition leads to clarity.  Clarity leads to understanding.  Understanding leads to good decision making.  

 

By defining the issue clearly he avoids convoluted thinking and twisted rationalizations that force more twisted rationalizations down the road.  In short, the Constitution is what is says, not what political hacks in black robes want it to say.

 

Mark Levine's book, Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America, does an excellent job outlining these excesses and twisted reasonings and the problems they cause.

In the article, Clarence Thomas: I’ve Heard Similar Arguments for Affirmative Action in Favor of Segregation, asks for a definition for diversity in college admissions, and the benefits, as Asians are being restricted in admissions at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over Affirmative Action, only they don't call it that any longer, but that's what it is.  The answers aren't impressive, definitive or provable.

There was a reader's comment worth reviewing by an Unknown Author.

Most people don't know it but the road to discriminating against whites began 60 years ago, with President Kennedy's Affirmative Action. I am retired, but was a VP (worked my way up from the bottom) in a billion dollar mainstream Company for 30 years and was constantly told by HR that if the applicants I interviewed were "equally qualified"; hire the Black, the Woman, the Minority candidate, etc., etc.

Then shortly before I retired a dozen years ago the Company hired a Diversity "officer" at the VP level. I was shocked. It usually took people ten to fifteen years to get to that level. Now every Company has one. The Democratic mantra of DEI; Diversity (anti-white), Equity (Socialism) and Inclusion (Trans rights) has become Affirmative Action on steroids and is destroying the whole idea of achievement and advancement through merit. In fact, the whole idea of "Meritocracy" is now considered "racist" and DEI is leading to actual written policies hiring whites last and firing whites first.

Of course it's blatantly illegal and unconstitutional but nobody seems to care. Now they are talking about admissions to college or even medical school being based on race and sexual identity, not standardized test scores. Ditto for hiring Pilots, EMT's, Firefighters, etc., etc. That should work out well. The Supreme Court needs to stop this insanity or our country will become totally run by incompetent bureaucratic ideologues (picked for race, sex, sexual preference or sexual identity) like those that now populate the entire Biden administration.

It appears Clearance Thomas is finally being recognized for the brilliant jurist he is, and is being supported by justices such as Justices Alito and Kavanaugh, who like him actually believe the Constitution is the law of the land and not these mystical indefinable concepts of penumbras and emanations created by people who have no right to do so.  

Berkeley co-op bans WHITE PEOPLE from common areas to 'avoid white violence and presence' and all students trying to sign in are asked to declare their race

By Joseph Michalitsianos For Dailymail.Com 19 August 2022 

 An off-campus co-op for students at the University of California, Berkeley named the 'Person of Color Theme House' has banned white guests from entering common areas of the house.  A list of house rules revealed that occupants were told 'many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.'   While the student house aims to have an 'inclusive' environment, the rules specifically state 'white guests are not allowed in common spaces,' according to the list, which was posted on Reddit..........To Read More....

My Take - This is a private concern and they should have the right to determine who they associate with and who to avoid, and the left is totally okay with this. Okay, well then, I'm good with this too. As long as this is across the board. Business owners should then be allowed to ban blacks, gays and anyone who makes them uncomfortable, or they just don't like, individuals or groups, after all, they're private concerns. Right? That's what they're saying isn't it? Make no mistake, this is a one way anti-white street being enforced by government.

Thinking the Unthinkable about Race and the Military

August 19, 2022  By Mark A. Hewitt

The headlines shouted a stunning revelation of implied endemic racism: British Royal Air Force No Longer Offering Pilot Jobs to White Men -- Only Women and Ethnic Minorities May Apply, and in the U.S., 86% of Air Force pilots are white men.  Here’s why this needs to change.  Major General Ed Thomas, head of the Air Force Recruiting Command, has identified the crisis du jour in the Air Force -- not record low recruiting or terrible aircraft readiness. No, it’s the number of white men. 

So, General Thomas, what is to be done when the National Basketball Association is 81.1% black?  By your logic, shouldn’t the NBA better reflect the national population?   What is really going on here?..........

You mean like what happened when leaders in Zimbabwe discovered there were too many white men in their country?  Zimbabwe passed laws that stripped white men of their citizenship and ability to own property -- much as the Nazis did when passing the Nuremberg Laws -- and many of the white men of Zimbabwe, primarily farmers and landowners, were hunted down and summarily executed by mobs.  While the UK raced to resettle British citizens to the United States and the UK, new government regulations stipulated that all white business owners had to sign over a 51% majority share of their business to black Zimbabweans.  What the mobs couldn’t achieve, regulations chased most of the whites out of the country. Could the Zimbabwe model be a roadmap of the left’s plan for America?........To Read More...
