Spiritual Mentor to speak tomorrow. UPDATE: Pager-gate in Detroit!

PC 101.

“[C]astrated, shot or set on fire…I want him killed.”

EXALTED CYCLOPS!

“…Leah was making this a black vs. gay issue…”

Milestone.

Lower standards, deadly consequences.

The woman with the 60-inch TV.

Last month, I urged dispirited conservatives to take an active role in supporting the candidates, officeholders, and issues that reflect our views and values. One of the campaigns I mentioned was my friend and hero Ward Connerly’s multi-state battle this fall to end discriminatory government race and gender preferences. Reminder:
Conservative stalwart Ward Connerly is […]

In April 2006, I reported on an attempt by NBC News’s Dateline to stage an Islamophobia sting on NASCAR fans.
In November 2007, I called attention to an attempt by ABC News’s Primetime Live to stage a homophobia sting in Birmingham, Alabama.
Now, Primetime Live is replicating the Islamophobia stunt thing in Texas (hat tip - LGF):
The […]

Working toward a Super Tuesday for Equality.

“Don’t want any gringo here.”

Pied Piper of P.C.

Neeever mind.

P.C. run amok, part 423,997.

Bad, bad joke.

Hoax crime.

Julian Bond kicks off the NAACP racial demagoguery-fest with a rip-roaring, Bush-bashing, blame-deflecting diatribe. Update: Video link added.

If any of you followed my work at the Seattle Times, you know how closely I covered the battle against government racial preferences in Washington state. You may remember that Washington passed Initiative 200 to ban government racial preferences in public hiring and education. Despite massive establishment opposition (led by my then-publisher), the measure was […]

Do you remember what happened in Guadalajara in 2004 during an Olympics qualification soccer match between the U.S. and Mexico? Let me remind you:
The boos nearly drowned out “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and a few dozen fans chanted “Osama! Osama!” as the United States was eliminated by Mexico in Olympic men’s soccer qualifying.
A loud anti-American crowd […]

The Bush Justice Department is going after the New York City Fire Department because minorities can’t pass the FDNY written exam. Intrepid Heather Mac Donald blows the whistle on career DOJ bureaucrats chasing phantom racism:
How much longer are public and private institutions going to be held hostage to black and Hispanic academic failure? The Center […]

NBC is hiring a “diversity leader.” What kind of “diversity?” Not ideological diversity, of course. In America’s newsrooms, “diversity” is only and always skin-deep. Here’s the announcement (hat tip- ICN):

If racial/ethnic bean-counting is the task at hand, NBC’s “diversity leader” will be training her sights first on MSNBC. By the left-wingers’ own tallying, MSNBC […]

Taking a stand
“I’m not serving you.”
That’s the quote of the day from Jeff Ruby of Ruby’s Steakhouse in Louisville, Kentucky. He said it to O.J. Simpson:
Ruby — who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Indiana — said Simpson, who was in town for the [Kentucky] Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of […]

For satirizing affirmative action scholarships.
The indispensible Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is helping the CRs at the University of Rhode Island. More here.

An important media advisory from the AAJA: Only they can use ethnic descriptors. Everyone else: Back off!
Too.
Ridiculous.
Reader Doug in Colorado writes:
Unbelievable. If there were any consistency, they would be lauding the fact that he made great strides in bringing greater diversity to the ranks of mass murderers, a segment in which the Asian-American community […]

Oh, spare me:
Panel rejects Coretta Scott King portrait proposal
Legislator says action worse than Imus comments
By JEREMY REDMON
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/12/07
A state lawmaker angrily lashed out at a legislative committee this morning after it rejected her request to hang a portrait of Coretta Scott King in the state Capitol, saying the committee’s action was comparable […]

I watched about 10 minutes of the Oscars–enough to absorb the self-congratulatory, aren’t-we-all-special-and-so-diverse theme and the unanimous Al Gore-is-our-president adulation.
Allah’s got running commentary, video, and an open thread over at Hot Air.

The always-must-read Heather Mac Donald in the always-must-read City Journal:
…for all the evasions of the political and educational elites, the growing anti-preference push, with initiatives contemplated in several more states in 2008, could be one of the most important populist movements of recent years. Racial manipulation, while not eliminated from California, has been greatly reduced, […]

Columbia University junior and Marine corporal Matt Sanchez has a must-read in today’s NYPost:
DiD you hear the one about the Marines that Columbia University invited to campus for Fleet Week?
Not any time in the last few decades, you didn’t.
But you might have heard the one about the Marine who was told by a fellow Columbia […]

An e-mail from Michigan about Ward Connerly’s anti-racial preference initative:
Hi Michelle,
Just a quick FYI – Michigan seems to be voting “Yes” on Prop-2….prohibiting affirmative action in the state. Interesting that CNN won’t call that “race” yet but has no problem calling the governor and Senate races with 1% of the precincts counted. Hey, […]
