I’ll get to the ridiculous AAJA “media coverage guidelines” on basketball star Jeremy Lin in a moment. First, some background. I’ve been poking fun of the “Asian American Journalists Association” for more than a decade. The idea of color-coded journalism steeped in identity politics has always grated on my nerves. But no one does a […]

File under “What if a top-ranking GOP official had said this?” Chimichanga would be the new macaca. Lefty WaPo columnist Dana Milbank mocked Republicans for not doing enough to grovel to Latino voters. He snarked: “The chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos.” (Full context of the entire Chimichanga […]

Have you heard about the latest overwrought tempest in a P.C. teapot on this post-Super Bowl Monday morning? It’s over Michigan Republican Pete Hoekstra’s “insensitive” Senate campaign ad using an Asian-American actress portraying a Chinese worker gloating over incumbent Dem. Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s big spending habits. Watch: Black ministers and Asian activists have decried the […]

Jim Moran, racist pig by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Congressman Jim Moran is an old white Democrat from Virginia who thinks he can judge whether we minority conservatives are acting sufficiently non-white enough. Moran’s an inveterate bully, a brawler, a crook and a bigot. And not one of his civility-preaching liberal colleagues has […]

Wow. Just wow. (h/t Dan Collins) Huffington Post explains (h/t collegepolitico Stephen Gutowski): CNN anchor Kyra Phillips had to apologize Wednesday after the network accidentally played a Coolio song featuring the N-word. For a clip on a 103-year-old Pennsylvania woman who still drives, CNN played Coolio’s “Fantastic Voyage” to go into break. The clip of […]

You just have to laugh. Heartily. When I noted that the Occupy Wall Street movement was filled with a sea of progressives of pallor and challenged the Tea Party-bashing media double standards on calling attention to the demographics two weeks ago, the occupiers filled my Twitter stream with profanities and racial epithets. Soros Monkeys tried […]

**Written by Doug Powers Two things really surprised me about this. 1) Sharpton’s show is still on the air. And 2) The “Lean Forward” network hasn’t leaned forward far enough to offer Al access to even a makeshift fact-check team. Or maybe this is the MSNBC fact-checked version. Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters sets the scene: […]

I’m sure you all saw what the Washington Post did this weekend. The newspaper tried to macaca Rick Perry. The frenzy is over a now-overturned stone on a secluded property — “associated” with Perry through his father, partners or his signature on a lease — that once had the word “Niggerhead” painted on it. The […]

**Written by Doug Powers Forget about the implied “we’re not going to march on the White House because of the color of the president” part and try to focus on what is tantamount to an admission that the policies embraced by this administration have been disastrous. From The Hill by way of the Miami Herald: […]

No one wants to talk about long-standing, brown-black tensions in southern California and elsewhere. When I do, I’m called a RAAAAACIST and accused of “trying to pit the Latinos against the African-American people.” Law-abiding victims of such violence know the truth, though. Ask the family of Jamiel Shaw. Or Cheryl Green or Shatavia Anderson. Today’s […]

We, the Unhyphenated Americans: Meet My People by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 My fellow Americans, who are “your people”? I ask because U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, used the phrase “my people” in congressional testimony this week. It was an unmistakably color-coded and exclusionary reference intended to deflect criticism of […]

President Obama was supposed to be the first post-racial president. But as you know, the post-racial era was over before it began. It’s been left to a generation of multiracial students to pick up the torch. And they’re putting the president to shame. Via the NYTimes: Many young adults of mixed backgrounds are rejecting the […]

That didn’t last long. After exhorting the nation to steer away from discourse that “has become so sharply polarized,” President Obama and his administration will mark Martin Luther King Day by framing Obamacare as a “civil rights victory” (which means if you oppose it, you’re akin to slavery proponents, as Harry Reid posited earlier this […]

If it’s Tuesday (or Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc., etc.), it’s Political Correctness Run Amok Day in America’s education establishment. The latest salvo? A publishing house will release p.c.-policed versions of both The Adventures of Huck Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer with the words “nigger” and “Injun” deleted. Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn […]

**Written by Doug Powers Ever since I heard that the NAACP was doing a study on Tea Party racism, I’ve been on pins and needles not knowing which way it would fall. As a Tea Party type, I’ve been anticipating finding out if my pre-assigned racial prejudice is overt, subconscious, genetic or merely intermittent and […]

I’ve shared many stories about being a minority conservative with you. We’re reviled by the Left for our “betrayal” of our supposed tribes — accused of being Uncle Toms, Aunt Tomasinas, House Niggas, puppets of the White Man, Oreos, Sambos, coconuts, bananas, sellouts, and whores. This is how the ethnic tribalist left rolls. But fiercely […]

She’s melting!

A prominent political figure told voters last week to support a candidate because he “looks more like us.” Yep. If that political figure had been a Republican and the voters had been Tea Party activists, the story would be splashed all over the front pages and cited endlessly on MSNBC as yet more evidence of […]

Right on: (h/t Sissy Willis via F.A.M.) And right on again, from Jerome Hudson via Human Events: Like most Americans, I’ve had enough with this administration’s policies. I was fed up and fired up. I am even more so in the wake of the most moving gathering I’ve ever been privileged to be a part […]

President Obama is headed to New Orleans this weekend to mark the 5th anniversary of Katrina. The papers and airwaves will be clogged with all sorts of retrospectives. My column today reminds you of the ugly racial demagoguery by leading Democrats and “civil rights” leaders from Jimmy Carter to Charlie Rangel to Malik Zulu Shabazz. […]

Scroll for updates… Drain the swamp? HAHAHAHAHAHA! My column today exposes the swamp creatures who coddled and protected Charlie Rangel all these years. Three House Dems have called on him to resign. And Democrats here in Colorado are bailing on him. But it’s too little, too late to mask the Democrat Party’s Rangel stench. Below […]

**Written by Doug Powers Howard “Yeearrrgh!” Dean was on Fox News this morning with Chris Wallace discussing the Shirley Sherrod thing, and Dean reiterated simple truths such as the sun rises in the east, kids shouldn’t run with scissors and that Fox News is racist. Wallace asked Dean if he was aware that the Sherrod […]

Raise your hands: Who else is sick of the Shirley Sherrod circus? We’ve entered the 20th minute of Sherrod’s 15 minutes of fame with this afternoon’s news of President Obama’s phone call to express “regret” for his administration’s hasty sacking of the former USDA official. She pronounced herself “very pleased.” Profuse apologies to the world […]

The media is filled with left-wing activists. The race card is the first and last refuge of liberal scoundrels. The race-card playing liberals in the media tried their best to whitewash Barack Obama’s radical ties to Jeremiah Wright and other race demagogues. We hold these truths to be self-evident, but it’s always useful to see […]
