Is Racism Moral Now?

Via American Greatness

“Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expediencies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people . . . ”

—Damon Young, New York Times contributor

“Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to . . . White people haven’t improved; I’ve just been able to limit my exposure to them.”

—Elie Mystal, The Nation

Racism is the deductive bias against, and often hatred of, an entire racial group. It is often birthed by dislike of particular individuals of a given group that supposedly justifies, by extension, disliking or indeed hating all of them. The popular reaction against this widespread toxic pathology shown African Americans birthed the anti-slavery movement, the Civil War, the resistance to Jim Crow, and the modern Civil Rights movement.

But now there grows a strange new ahistorical “antiracism” racism.

One variety encourages holistic hatred, blaming all of one’s own unhappiness, indeed all of the cosmic injustice in the manmade and natural world—the very air, water, and earth—on a white racial collective.

Another constructs a purported racial pathology to encourage segregation and separation from all members of the white race, thereby limiting all “exposure” to a toxic people.

These are not just the idle critical race theory rants of intellectuals. They now are reified in racially segregated graduations and dorms and in systemic racialist reeducation and confessional workshops in government, the military, and private enterprise. In fact, the new antiracism racism is flagrantly directed at “whiteness”—the obsession of an America gone mad.

Barack Obama who, when a senator, filibustered the 2006 Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito now claims, falsely, the filibuster is a racist relic of Jim Crow, which it predated by at least 30-40 years. On the Senate floor, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) vowed to block confirmation of nominees based solely on their white skin color.

In violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, the mayor of Oakland just announced race-based grants of $500 per month to be given only to poor “BIPOC” (“black, indigenous, and people of color”) families, excluding the white poor.

The latest multibillion-dollar stimulus/farm aid bill is targeted for all those in need—as long as they are not white. The latter are all ineligible.

The new antiracism racism, whatever its original intentions, unfortunately exhibits the historical telltale signs of its noxious genre: an a priori negative stereotyping of all whites that can then be applied to individuals deemed undeserving because they are white. It is a deductive doctrine used to justify racial bias and racial preferences, to enhance careers and profits, and to excuse and contextualize racist language and behavior.

Antiracism’s implicit defense is that the nonwhite have less power to act out their biases than do whites, while it “rights” an historical wrong. Therefore even crude antiracists cannot be harmful racists. Consult the government data on hate crimes, however, and one learns some non-white groups have a greater proportional tendency to commit such crimes against others than so-called whites. And how has a white lower-middle-class generation, born in the post-Civil Rights movement and the age of affirmative action, continued to enjoy so-called white privilege?

9th Circuit Court rules that states can restrict people from openly carrying guns in public

Via The Blaze

‘Tens of millions of Americans have been told, for the first time ever, that they have no right to carry a firearm’

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that state governments can restrict people from openly carrying guns in public, effectively ending a person’s right to bear arms outside of their home.

The court issued an en banc opinion in the case of Young vs. Hawaii over a lawsuit by a Hawaiian resident who argued that the restrictions set by the state on his ability to openly carry a firearm was against the Constitution.

A district court ruled against George Young but a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court then decided in his favor. The latest development came from the full 11-member panel, or en banc.

The appeals court cited what they saw as a longstanding tradition in English and American law that government could prohibit “certain weapons from entering… public spaces as means of providing ‘domestic Tranquility’ and forestalling ‘domestic Violence.”

The dissent opinion criticized the ruling for whittling down the right to bear arms to a “mere inkblot.”

The National Rifle Association issued a tweet vowing to fight against the decision.

‘Satan Shoes’ a sign of America’s sickened soul

By Cheryl K. Chumley

Rapper Lil Nas X launched a brand of athletic wear called “Satan Shoes” that includes an upside-down Christian cross, a pair of bronze pentagrams, a Bible reference to Luke 10:18 — about the evil one’s lightning-quick fall from Heaven — and a drop of human blood. Real human blood.

This is a stark picture of the moral decaying of America. And at Easter time, no less.

This is not about a pair of shoes, per se.

This is about the fact that a pair of shoes marketed as a glory to Satan could actually generate interest among mainstream consumers in a country that was founded on godly principles — on the notion of individual rights coming from God, not government.

On the notion that this democratic-republic would only last so long as the people were moral and virtuous.

On the notion that liberty is tied to religion and morality at the hip, and that as the culture degrades, so, too, citizen freedoms — because cultural depravity breeds chaos breeds Big Government.

Maybe these shoes, released in a limited 666 number, are simply a rap artist’s way of making some quick gimmicky bucks. After all, the company that collaborated to make the shoes, MSCHF, also released in 2019 its “Jesus Shoes” containing “holy water” from the Jordan River.

But that doesn’t mean they’re culturally harmless. Or humorous.

COVID Face Masks May Be Accelerating Biden’s Dementia

Via The Hayride

The evidence of President Joe Biden‘s mental and physical health degradation is continuing to add up.

Despite reports distributed by the mainstream media such as Politico stating the contrary, Biden is hardly “sharp as a tack”  where his campaign was “run from the basement” with constant lids because of outbursts of gibberish as well as being “unaware” he’s groping women.  It has only gotten worse since he occupied the White House, from appearing to state the N-word, to falling down the stairs of Air Force One multiple times.  His aides routinely kick the press out of the room when there are any signs that Biden is appearing to falter.

The choreographed presser limited the number of reporters in attendance, provided Biden a “cheat sheet” in oversized font with specific reporters to choose and not choose with laid out answers, yet the conference still went off the rails. Biden would loose his train of thought mid sentence, laugh then say he misses Trump, wander off from the podium, among other symptoms of dementia he displayed.  Its was so noticeable that the mainstream press even had to acknowledge, something they were giving Biden a free pass on up to this point.  One America News Correspondent Jack Posobiec tweeted out Biden is Falling Apart.  Broadcaster Steven Crowder dedicated a whole show to roasting the press conference.

It’s not just the press speculating at this point.  Dr. Ronny Jackson, who was White House Physician under Obama and Trump and is currently  a representative for Texas’s 13th Congressional District stated on Twitter, “I served as White House physician under THREE Presidents. I’ve seen what it takes physically AND mentally to do the job. I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a MAJOR red flag. Something’s not right!”  Jackson also stated in February 2020 that Biden should undergo a cognitive assessment, to which Biden when asked lashed out.

Could masks be the culprit?

Dementia or not, double-mask wearing will not help address his many missteps and senior moments.

Hero: Man Stranded On Desert Island Still Obediently Wearing His Mask

Via The Babylon Bee

CARIBBEAN—The U.S. Coast Guard announced today that they discovered a man who has been stranded on a deserted island in the Caribbean Ocean for over 5 months after his boat sunk in a storm. A spokesman for the USCG reported that this heroic man has been responsibly wearing his mask the entire time on the island, even though he is the only living soul in a thousand-mile radius.

“This man is a true hero,” said Governor Gavin Newsom of California. “He is a shining example of an obedient citizen who dutifully wears his mask even when it makes absolutely zero sense for any sane person to do so. California citizens ought to look to this survivor and emulate him in every way.”

Celebrities took to Twitter to respond to the news and congratulate the stranded man on his unwavering commitment to obeying every single thing politicians and experts told him to do. “Thank you,” said superstar Mark Ruffalo, “for showing us all how it’s done!”

Authorities were planning on rescuing the survivor but later decided his story is just too inspiring and that he will serve a greater purpose if they just leave him there to continue wearing his mask.

“He has enough coconuts to last him a couple of years, he’ll be fine,” said the USCG spokesman. “Besides, wait till you see how he re-applies his mask between bites!”
