Well, this puts a perfect exclamation point on my diversity column: Look at the p.c. pretzel that the Naval Academy twisted itself into in order to try and engineer picture-perfect diversity among its color guard:

Leaders of the U.S. Naval Academy tinkered with the composition of the color guard that appeared at a World Series game [...]

I am sure Eric Holder and his racial preference-mongers (not to mention the “social justice” purveyors at Obama’s Department of Education) approve:
Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline
by Doug MacEachern – Sept. 19, 2009 08:22 PM
The Arizona Republic
…The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one [...]

This is absolutely horrifying for any parent to watch. STLToday.com reports that police say the black-on-white student beating was completely unprovoked and racially motivated. Watch as many students cheer the attack — and the bus driver is nowhere to be seen:
 
Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft wonders where Al Sharpton is.
I wonder where President Obama will be. [...]

So much for the Era of Post-Racialism.
A pair of black professors has admitted authoring a memo outlining how and why black voters should make their mayoral candidate choice based on skin color.
WSBTV reports:
A memo circulating on the Internet and amongst voters in Atlanta is drawing a dividing line in the race for Atlanta’s next mayor.

The far Left Center for American Progress has its tentacles everywhere.
I noted in my column on the Internet Snitch Brigade this morning that former CAP operatives have been installed at HHS and work closely with the health care czar.
At Newsbusters, Seton Motley reports on the new FCC “Diversity Officer” — a racial engineering czar who [...]

“Daaa profilers!”

A date and time has been set for the re-education of Officer Crowley — I mean, some meaningful dialog on race:
A White House official tells ABC News that Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley will have beers with President Obama Thursday at 6 pm ET.
“The president sees this as [...]

HORE.

It’s jump-the-shark time for Gates-gate:
Congress would demand that President Obama apologize to the officer the president said had “acted stupidly” in the arrest of a prominent Harvard professor under a resolution set to be introduced by one Michigan lawmaker.
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.) will introduce a House resolution on Monday demanding Obama retract and apologize for [...]

Thug thizzle.

Ever since we saw Up, our family has made a game of giving out “Cone of Shame” awards. Thought it would make a great blog feature, too.
The inaugural award winners:

Barbara Boxer, for last week’s naked display of liberal condescension, vapidity, and tone-deafness in her “I’ve got a black person’s report right here!” rejoinder to National [...]

Black and white.

The diversity-mongers on Barack Obama’s FCC bean-counting panel don’t like how a private radio ratings system is working out for their pet stations.
So they’re putting pressure on the government to make Arbitron change its measurement tools to ensure politically correct results.
Brian Maloney at The Radio Equalizer reports.
Who needs the Fairness Doctrine? The race-based enforcers on [...]

Reader Kyle S. e-mailed me this weekend:
I’m a liberal who passes through your blog from time to time and although I disagree with you often (not always), I wanted to bring something to your attention that, though you might be aware of but I haven’t seen on your blog (sorry if I missed it), has [...]

Gee, I thought Obama ushered in the Age of Post-Racialism. Another illusion busted by Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Betty Baye:
Flummoxed.
I don’t recall ever using that word before in a column, but it’s a great description of how some folks are behaving toward President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama…
…To be sure, the flummoxed come in all [...]

Glad I’m not the only minority conservative who rejects the increasingly popular notion on the Right that Barack Obama’s ascension should be embraced as a moral victory for our side. The promise of post-racialism is a bogus one.
Shelby Steele, one of the most articulate voices on race matters, weighs in in the WSJ:
Barack Obama’s victory [...]

You all remember that Barack Obama made his famous comments about bitter, clingy, racist rural Americans at a posh fund-raiser in the Bay Area — America’s role model of tolerance and understanding.
Well, look who’s bitter, clingy, and racist now (hat tip – JWF):
As more and more black renters began moving into this mostly white San [...]

Oh, give me a super-sized break.
Leftie ’60s leftover/songwriter Peter Yarrow at the Huffington Post fumes over the “Barack the Magic Negro” parody that has RNC candidate Chip Saltsman in hot water.
All of sudden — after eight years of “F**k Bush” bumper stickers and “Kill Bush” assassination chic and Bush-or-Chimp parodies — the left [...]

Woof.

Pay up.

Educational malpractice.

Transformational!

“President of the bigots,” indeed.

Reader Alex sends word of a debate on race in Milford, Connecticut tomorrow night. Should be, well, interesting:
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose racially charged sermons engulfed Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in controversy last spring, will speak here Thursday night.
Wright, retired senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, in Chicago, and Obama’s former pastor, will [...]

Who are the haters?

Reader Brandon e-mails:
I was just watching ABC news and Diane Sawyer randomly interjected a story about Ohio going to Nobama being somehow sentimental for Black people because Harriet Beecher Stowe lived in Ohio and wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This was such an absurd tangent that even Charlie Gibson went “Wha….?” in the middle of her [...]

Move over, RAAAAAACIST!

Raaaaaaaaaacist!

The “B” stands for bogus.

Grain of salt.
