Some of you may remember my August 22, 2013 post,The Great Oberlin College Racism Hoax of 2013:
A massive racism hoax took place at Oberlin College in February 2013 in which two students made seemingly racist, anti-Semitic and other such posters, graffiti and emails for the purpose of getting a reaction on...
One of the big secrets of the Democratic Party is the deep racial tension between the mostly white elite progressive leaders and activists “of color.”
We examined this in detail in 2011,
There, I said it.
And so did Hillary Clinton, creating a backlash:
Hillary Rodham Clinton is facing backlash for saying that “all lives matter” in an African-American church in Missouri on Tuesday, offending some who feel that she is missing the point of the “black lives matter” mantra.
Mrs. Clinton’s remarks at Christ the...
The Saturday Night Card Game has a long and storied history at Legal Insurrection.
It started on October 8, 2009, in reaction to a post by Oliver Willis (blogging in his individual, not — ahem — Media Matters capacity), wherein he said:
That was the first of over 200 Saturday Night Card Game...
It started out sounding like a classic racial profiling case.
A white man is in a car kissing a black woman. The cops pull up, suspecting it’s a case of prostitution. It wasn’t. Just a husband and wife having a little fun, until the worst stereotypes of black women infected police minds.
The...
It. Never. Stops.
Via David Thompson, The Telegraph reports, Is Gardeners’ Question Time racist?:
It is the softly spoken radio show that provides good-natured help and advice to thousands of gardeners every week.
So regular listeners to Gardeners’ Question Time may be horrified to discover it has been accused of peddling racial stereotypes….
But Dr...
Stoking racial tension against Israel has been a foundation of the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement in the U.S.
One pro-Israel student is having none of it.
Chloé Simone Valdary is an outspoken pro-Israel student, who is a shining star in the fight against BDS on campus.
She is so effective that, during a recent pro-Israel...
Please make it stop.
First they came for Black List, Baa Baa Black Sheep,Rejigger, Providence Plantations, Black Friday, Gobbledygook, Illegal Immigrant, Undocumented Immigrant, Master Bedroom, Chink in the Armor, and even the use of white copy paper and brown bagging it to lunch.
Politically correct speech has become an Albatross around our necks.
Then they came for the paint, and there were few words left to defend it.
It can be very hard to distinguish progressive political and social positions from parody.
Remember the video “White Guys: We Suck and We’re Sorry”? Was it parody? Not sure we ever got a definitive answer on that.
What about Salon.com’s white writers’ obsession with Whiteness? Real.
White privilege conferences? Real.
There is a strange lack...
Words, just words.
This week at College Insurrection we reported on a controversy involving the word “Tranny” used by a liberal gay rights activist in a discussion about whether the word “Tranny” was offensive, via
White privilege is the political Swiss Army Knife of the progressive movement.
There is literally nothing that happens in the country for which white privilege does not serve as a tool. If you are white, you have white privilege. If you are not, you suffer from lack of white privilege. The insane White...
We previously addressed The dead-end Case for Reparations, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ backwards looking road to nowhere:
Coates never gives the answer as to who gets what and how.
And that’s ultimately the problem with reparations arguments that are not based upon...

When it comes to racial politics on campus, unfortunately, it’s not parody, it just seems that way sometimes.
The obsession with race from the left often reaches the point of unaware self-parody.
This video is a prime example of how hard it is to tell sometimes (via
We mentioned before how Christian Zionist college student Chloe Valdary has come under highly racialized attack from anti-Israel Jewish leftists like Richard Silverstein, The ugly, repugnant attack on a pro-Israel black American student:
She also is a frequent target of other anti-Zionist fanatics who find a unique threat in a black American...
I don’t think we’ve written here yet about the Bundy Ranch standoff, mostly because we didn’t have enough information about the situation to make a judgment about what really was going on. And I didn’t have enough time to figure it all out.
Was it, as some portrayed, a heroic struggle against...
Oh, they thought they had Fox News right where they wanted it. The proof they’d been waiting for that Fox News was racist.
Heather Childers on Fox & Friends First mistakenly referred to U. Conn. as the NAACP champs rather than NCAA champs.
There was pure joy in Mudville. As of...
