TIME Columnist: ‘Don’t Ignore Race’ in Oklahoma Murder

-By Warner Todd Huston

TIME columnist John McWhorter has a warning for the media about the murder by three teens–two black and one white–of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane: Don’t pretend the murder wasn’t about race.

In his piece McWhorter points out all the facts that the progressive media want to ignore.

“The numbers don’t lie,” McWhorter notes, “young black men do commit about 50% of the murders in the U.S.”

Supposed ‘Racist’ Attacks at Oberlin College Done by Liberals Wanting to ‘Stir The Pot’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Earlier this year Oberlin College in Ohio was shut down after a series of racist, anti-Semitic, and KKK-related incidents occurred on campus. For months the liberal media went wild over the “right-wing attacks” on minorities. Now, it has been proven that the whole mess was perpetrated by two liberal Obama supporters who wanted to “stir the pot.”

In March, when news of the incidents broke, news agencies across the country gravely reported on the “racism” at the school. In one case, the Associated Press went all weak in the knees when Hollywood actress Lena Dunham–an Oberlin grad–Tweeted about how shameful it was that right-wingers were destroying her school.

But now the truth has emerged: the incidents weren’t perpetrated by real racists, or any one on the right at all.

Just as Michelle Malkin knew from the beginning, it was liberals all along.

Huffington Post Stirs Race Hate With False Headline

-By Warner Todd Huston

Over at BizPac Review, Joe Saunders exposed a perfect example of how liberals take something that is marginally about race and giving it a misleading headline that is bound to get its race-baiting fans stirred up.

Saunders found a flog Tweet HuffPo sent out on August 14 that really stirs the pot and illegitimately so. The Tweet was meant to drive traffic to a particular HuffPo article and read, “New study: White people are too dumb to know they’re racist”, followed by a link to the article.

Oh, those evil, dumb, stupid racist, whites! Goshdarnitall.

Now, this Tweet doesn’t really even legitimately approximate the headline of the HuffPo piece, which is “White People Support Academic Meritocracy When It Benefits Them, Study Suggests.”

Even worse, the Tweet doesn’t even approximate what the study itself says, either.

Obama-Masked Missouri Rodeo Clown Banned From Sport For Life

-By Warner Todd Huston

Don’t make fun of king Obama. If you do your life will be destroyed. That is the message that the Missouri State Fair is sending by the banning for life of a rodeo clown that used an Obama mask during a recent performance.

Of course, the crowd had a great time with the stunt as can be seen in a video of the event…

The incident occurred on August 10 at the Missouri State Fair where Rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling made a bunch of Obama jokes with a dummy figure of Obama propped up by a broom which was being used as a target for the rodeo bulls. But soon scolds on the Internet went wild attacking the clown as “racist.”

Jeff Mazur, an Executive Director for AFSCME, a left-wing government workers union, and an operative in Democrat Governor Jay Nixon’s administration, wasn’t amused, though and he took to Twitter to immediately attack the rodeo for the Obama joke. (See his Tweet below)

Black Comedian: White People Aren’t Allowed to Decide What’s Racist

-By Warner Todd Huston

Many on the far left continue to claim that America needs to have “a discussion” on race–even though we’ve been talking about it since roughly 1787. But one black comedian, W. Kamau Bell, apparently doesn’t want to have that discussion. He says all whites are racist, that is that, and they shouldn’t be allowed to talk about what’s racist and what isn’t.

The extremist host of FX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, told the media that white people should not speak of cases like the George Zimmerman trial.

The worst thing to say to a person of color is, ‘I don’t think that’s racist.’ I don’t think that’s your area. You can have an opinion but I don’t think you are the final word. That’s what’s missing, white people. You’ve got a lot of jobs” but should not have the ‘I know what’s racist’ job. I know what’s imperialism – that’s your job.”

So, white people aren’t allowed to talk about racism? OK, then how do we have this “conversation about race” that the left keeps clamoring for?

Ah, but we know how the left wants to “converse.” They want to tell us that all whites are racist and whites should just shut up and do what the left tells them to do.

Obama Meets With Democrats, Speaks About Zimmerman Verdict

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats at the Capitol, President Obama again promised that his administration would look for ways to examine the criminal justice system in the aftermath of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

Obama visited with Congressional Democrats in a cloistered meeting on July 31, ostensibly to continue his umpteenth pivot to jobs and the economy, but Politico notes that Representative Elijah Cummings (D, MD) brought up the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case and again urged the President to do more to address the incident.

Obama told Democrats that he is still looking for ways to use the Department of Justice to address the issue instead of trying to pass legislation.

In the immediate aftermath of Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict, several African American Democrats and other top Democrat leaders called for the federal government to act.

CNN’S Don Lemon: If You’re White You Can’t Understand Anything

-By Warner Todd Huston

Don Lemon of CNN has a perfect last name. He’s known for being quite a half-wit on the air and he didn’t help himself out much with his latest foray into the absurd when he told a guest that because he’s white, he can’t understand anything. How’s that song go… “we got to keep ’em separated.”

Lemonhead had Dallas radio host Ben Ferguson on during his July 22 CNN bore-fest and Ferguson noted that sometimes women feel a bit over cautious when young black males or young white males are around them on the streets. Well, this was too much for Donny.

Now, remember, Ferguson was saying that all women feel a bit ill-at-ease when they are alone and men they don’t know are around them when they are in secluded spots. Leman turned it into a race question, saying: “If you think it’s equal, and I don’t mean to call names, but I think you’re sadly naive.”

George Zimmerman’s Brother Better on Race Than Obama

-By Warner Todd Huston

Robert Zimmerman Jr., George Zimmerman’s brother, was not amused by President Barack Obama’s comments on the “not guilty” verdict in his brother’s trial. Robert feels that Obama didn’t learn a thing from the whole ordeal.

“We are where we are today,” Zimmerman said on Fox News. “And no matter what your opinion of the verdict is, there have to be things that bring us together, there have to be teachable moments that we learn from what happened here.”

Zimmerman said he was glad that the President was talking about “encouraging African-American youth,” but wondered why Obama wasn’t encouraging youth of all races.

“I think mentoring children of all colors is one of the ways that we break the cycle, and I would just add to what the president had to say that sometimes the right encouragement and the right role models and kind of the right shoulder to lean on in life can prevent any kind of engagement with law enforcement and the criminal justice system whatsoever,” he continued. “So I think he made some good points about training law enforcement…and he also asked for some soul searching.”

Politico Hits Issa for ‘Little Boy’ Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

During a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Chairman Darrell Issa used an old saying to describe committee member and ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings and despite that Cummings averred that he understood the comment and took no offense, but making a mountain out of a mole hill, Politico reported the incident as a “controversy.”

On July 18, Issa noted that Cummings was like “a little boy with his hand caught in the cookie jar,” an old saying that describes someone that got caught taking something or being somewhere he shouldn’t. It is not a race-based saying.

“I’m always shocked when the ranking member seems to want to say, like a little boy whose hand has been caught in a cookie jar, ‘What hand? What cookie?’ I’ve never said it leads to the White House,” Issa said during the hearing.

Hours later, Issa felt compelled to make sure everyone knew that his comment had no racial component to it.

Tucker Carlson: Sharpton, Jackson ‘Hustlers and Pimps’

-By Warner Todd Huston

On the July 14 broadcast of Fox & Friends Sunday, Tucker Carlson said out loud what everyone already knows: neither Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson are real civil rights leaders and both are little else but hustlers and pimps.

Carlson was talking to Fox correspondent Geraldo Rivera about the George Zimmerman trial and the pair were talking about the threatened protests that Jack$on and $harpton are planning to protest the acquittal of Zimmerman.

After Geraldo reiterated his “if you dress like a thug be ready to be treated like a thug” comment, Carlson went on to properly characterize the two rabble rousers who claim to be civil rights leaders.

I don’t know how I feel about George Zimmerman but I am positive that people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not deserve to be called civil rights leaders. They are not. They are hustlers and pimps who make a living off inflaming racial tensions. They know nothing about this. They’re not residents of Florida. They don t represent anybody, they’re not elected to anything, they don’t have constituencies. The only reason they are allowed to do this is because we in the press enable them by calling them civil rights leaders. Why do we do that?

Exactly right, Tucker. These two ripoff artists have no interest at all in real civil rights. They just want cash in their pockets. They are sham activists only interested in who they can next shakedown.

Chgo. Sun-Times Apologize Over ‘Racist’ Asiana Airlines Crash Headline

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Sun-Times has apologized for a headline pun reporting on the Asiana 214 airliner crash that seemed racist to some Asians.


The Sunday Sun-Times Front Page

Asiana flight 214 crashed in San Francisco on Saturday, June 6, but in its front page report on the crash, the Chicago Sunday Sun-Times blared a headline that read “FRIGHT 214.”

The Asian American Journalists Association was not amused by the play on words wondering if the Sun-Times understood that changing the “L” in “FLIGHT” to an “R” could easily be perceived as a play on the stereotypical difficulty of some Asians to pronounce the letter “L.”

“While we at the Asian American Journalists Association are willing to give the Sun-Times the benefit of the doubt, the headline used to accompany the paper’s coverage was certainly unfortunate. An editor should have caught the racially tinged wording,” said AAJA’s Bobby Calvan in a public post on the organization’s website.
