  • The Moronic Level of Leftist Race-Baiting

    Joy Reid takes the cake for liberal-left race-baiting stupidity and viciousness: 1) Tucker Carlson has a distant ancestor who immigrated legally to the USA from Switzerland. 2) Tucker Carlson is opposed to illegal immigration. Ergo 3) Tucker Carlson is a hypocrite and a white nationalist.

  • Portrait of a ‘Racist’

    Story here. (HT: Monterey Tom) You can always rely on a 'liberal' to play the race card. Related articles Tucker Carlson Asks 'Why The Outrage?' for Trump's 'S%*thole' Comments – Liberty Headlines

  • Black Crime Rates

    Here are some facts that 'progressives' ignore: Who is killing and shooting black crime victims? Overwhelmingly, not whites, not the police, but, tragically, other blacks. The high black homicide-victimization rate is a function of the black homicide-commission rate. Blacks commit homicide nationally at seven times the rate of whites and most Hispanics, combined. Black males between the…

  • Racist Trees and 99 Other Racist Things

    Yet more proof, as if we needed it, that 'liberals' are insane.  A Tucker Carlson tweet-storm preserved for posterity by Malcolm Pollack.  Glad I found this. Now I don't have to talk about those damned racist Tamarisks.

  • Saturday Night at the Oldies Guest Post: From Gospel to Rap, Part II

    By X. Malcolm. Trigger Warning! Not for snowflakes. Second in a series on the degeneration of black music. Part I here. In part I, I summarised the elements of the rap genre as I see them, in particular how it seems to be influenced by Malcolm X’s brand of identity politics. In Part II I…

  • Saturday Night at the Oldies Guest Post: From Gospel to Rap, Part I

    By X. Malcolm Bill suggested I wrote a post on how we get from gospel music such as Richard Smallwood’s uplifting Total Praise, to the uncompromising lowness of this gem (lyrics) by West Coast rappers 2 Live Crew? What is the bridge, if any, between ‘I will lift mine eyes to the hills’ (Psalm 121)…

  • Elizabeth ‘Fauxcahantas’ Warren, Undocumented Indian and Cultural Appropriator

    The lovable Howie Carr takes the fraud to task: How much longer do we have to pretend that Elizabeth Warren is anything but a Fake Indian? It happened again yesterday — President Trump referred to the senior senator from Massachusetts as “Pocahontas,” and the alt-left media went into paroxysms of fake outrage, as if it’s…

  • Sages of the Ages Against Rap

    Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul . . . when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.i…

  • Race Matters: Tucker Carlson Versus Ekow Yankah

    Here are a couple of quick observations on last night's debate. 1) Carlson is a liberal about race. Dennis Prager provides a good explanation of the difference between being a liberal and being a leftist about race: Race: This is perhaps the most obvious of the many moral differences between liberalism and leftism.

  • Race and America’s Soul

    Myron Magnet – -Is he an attractive man? – - gets it right, or rather the author he is reviewing does: What gives Gene Dattel’s Reckoning with Race: America’s Failure its special power is that, even after its bracingly original and thoroughly researched account of the racism of the abolitionist North from the late eighteenth century until long…

  • More on Tribalism and the Identitarian Right

    This entry continues the discussion with my Right-identitarian interlocutor.  My current position is one of rejection of both Left- and Right-identitarianism. I am open, however,  to a change of position. That is part of what makes me a philosopher as opposed to an ideologue. I wrote in my critique of Dennis Prager: "The correct view…

  • Why Do Leftists Blame the Weapon Over the Wielder?

    I spoke of  . . . the bizarre liberal displacement of responsibility for crime onto inanimate objects, guns, as if the weapon, not the wielder, is the source of the evil for which the weapon can be only the instrument. What explains this displacement?  A reader proffers an explanation: Maybe they displace responsibility here because, if we…
