Wow, there sure are a lot of journalists and academics out in force today trying to demonize anyone offended by those tweets by The New York Times’ new hire; you know, the ones that say “f**k white women” and “#Cancel white people” and “Dumbass f**cking white people.”
It’s funny too, how it seems to be mostly white men like Chris Hayes who are “whitesplaining” how those tweets aren’t actually racist.
Bloomberg’s David S. Joachim decided to throw his hat into the ring and give his fellow white people a quick primer on what’s racist and what’s not, and which words are slurs and which aren’t — it’ll be handy to print out and keep on your desk for the next time you suspect something’s racist.

Dear white people:

1. Racism is abt the powerful keeping down the powerless

2. We (generally) are the powerful

3. "White ppl" isn't a slur

4. "Fag" and the N word are slurs, because they subordinate

5. Your moral equivalence is nonsense

6. "Reverse racism" isn't a thing

NFL Hall Of Fame Game Ratings Down Hard From 2017; ‘The Four’ Strikes Season 2 High In Finale

Lamar Jackson’s debut as a member of the Baltimore Ravens flew high and not so high last night for the quarterback in the NFL Hall of Fame game’s unofficial start to a new season of football but ratings for the NBC broadcast match-up with the Chicago Bears definitely went down.


With a 4.7/9 in metered market results and a 1.8/7 in fast affiliates, the Ravens 17-16 win over the Chicago Bears in Canton, Ohio took a two-time double digit hit last night from last year. That’s a 13% decline in the early metrics and a harder 18% fall in the first round of 18-49 results from the August 3, 2017 gridiron battle between the always well watched Dallas Cowboys’ 20-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.




Which, even though the 6.50 million watched the Hall of Fame game and NBC won Thursday night, means the usually virtually meaningless first pre-season game now takes on hefty implications. Certainly, coming off last season where the NFL was plagued with a ratings limp and controversy and Donald Trump’s fire over players protesting social injustice by refusing to stand for the National Anthem, a decline does not augur well at this point – something Rupert Murdoch must be very aware of as the increasingly New Fox prepares this season to start its deal with the NFL to air games on Thursdays.

It should be noted that not a single player on either the Bears or the 2013 Super Bowl winning Ravens didn’t stand for the National Anthem last night. It should also be noted that while they might have induced fans or the President’s ire if they had taken a knee, the NFL’s new policy requiring players to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” actually has had the knees cut out from it with filed grievances from the NFL Players Association

This isn't culture war. It's worse.
By Richard Jack Rail
Progressives continue to astonish normal people with their complete incomprehension of normals (as Kurt Schlichter calls them) as human beings. Perhaps that's because they don't see us as human beings. They call us unsavory names – deplorables, bitter clingers, toothless, plus every dirty word they can think of. They throw nasty, biological things. They spit on people. They shove people, break windows, start fights, and go out of their way to ensure that everybody has a bad day.

Today's normal was a fifties liberal and, in many cases, a sixties liberal. In those days, you could be a conservative Democrat or a liberal Republican, and it raised no eyebrows. Today's prog, or extremist lefty, thinks all normals are extras from the movie Deliverance. Yet most of the time we dress about as they do, take the same public transportation, shop in the same supermarkets, and live in the same neighborhoods. If we really were toothless and illiterate, it would immediately stand out. It doesn't.

In the almost 70 years since 1950, normals haven't changed much. We still believe in God, pay taxes, get up and go to work, and keep to ourselves. We're raising families, after all, and that matters more than anything else. Unlike the prog caricature of us, we're responsible people. When we gather in large numbers, you almost can't tell we were ever there because we clean up behind ourselves. We speak quietly and respectfully, treat our women like ladies, and control our kids. Nobody fears normals because nobody has any reason to.

This contrasts starkly with progs, who gather in large numbers to riot, scream obscenities, carry signs, and trash the place. They get up in others' faces and scream and rage as if out of control, sometimes putting a normal person in fear for his life. All this is intended to communicate public unhappiness over this issue or that, but all it really puts across is that a bunch of wilding lunatics are loose again.

Liberals, similar to but reputedly more reasonable than progs, always notice the single MAGA hat in a crowd but never the destructive prog behavior raging all around them. And it's liberals who write the columns and tweets next day, dripping venom about the hateful normals. Yet any objective, disinterested observer would notice that it's progressives who regularly run out of control in angry, violent spasms of incivility and ugliness.

This isn't "culture war." Culture has nothing to do with it. It's war on normality by Brownshirts, incited or paid for by the likes of George Soros and Tom Steyer. It has now graduated from street-fighting to trying to take down the U.S. government.

I will never understand these people's hatred of America. They are unreachable by reason. It seems clear that they are trying to provoke a heavy, violent reaction from us so they can then haul out the artillery. They missed their big chance with Barama in the saddle but had been biding their time right along. They'll just continue that until their next big chance. They need to be able to declare martial law.

Be ready.
