When There Are Insufficient White Racist Extremists Available

The SPLC allegedly paid millions to create them.

US DOJ:  Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, and National Socialist Party of America

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.  The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

$3 million dollars certainly can assist in funding extremists who otherwise would be stuck in their mother's basements, and turn them into much more visible and active boogeymen for fundraising. 

Should be quite the interesting case, and it looks like the Southern Poverty Law Center is going to need some good lawyers.

Democrat Racism In Detroit's 13th District

In Detroit, the 13th District reliably sends a Democrat off to Congress every time.  It's such a safe seat for Democrats that the Democrat primary determines everything, and there's no point for a Republican to run.

The horrible problem is that the 13th Federal District has the wrong race of Democrat in the seat right now.   Shri Thanendar, while a reliable Democrat suffers from a key deficiency - He's not Black.

The Detroit Free Pres:  Detroit learned all the wrong lessons from Shri Thanedar's 2022 win | Opinion

Yep, because Representative Thanendar is Indian and not Black, he's not viewed by the Black Democrats in the city as suitable to represent them.

Racism, much?

Representative Thanendar was elected because in the last primary the Black vote got split among seven Black candidates.  So, the Black powers-that-be in the city decided to be more clever this time and rally around one Black candidate this time to unseat Thanendar.

That decision has now backfired, to much amusement to all but the Black powers-that-be.

The current wailing among the Detroit Democrats is their one great Black hope, Adam Hollier, messed up and was removed from the ballot for hiring a company that screwed him with forged nominating signatures and he completely failed to verify the signatures before turning them in.  

This is shades of the forgery tom-foolery that eliminated Craig and other Republicans from the ballot in the last election, which should have been a warning and a clue to the Hollier campaign to check their nominating petitions.

So, the great Black hope turned out to be a dope.  

The Black Detroit Democrat Apparatchiks are real mad that yet again, the so far shown to be competent Representative Thanendar is most likely going to be re-elected in a walk, just because he's not Black.

Not because he's been anything other than a reliable Democrat member of the House, but simply just because he's not Black.

So now some Black Detroit Democrat Apparatchiks are calling to change the rules of the game by pushing to shift to ranked choice voting in the primary to try and ensure that a Black Democrat is a lock to be elected in the District in the future instead of putting all their eggs in one forged nominating signature list.

You really can't make this up, and it's rather hilarious to watch the wailing and gnashing of teeth occurring because Thanendar is going to be reelected - Just because he's not Black.

So When Exactly Is It Acceptable For A Politican To Make Clearly Racist Statements?

Imagine what would be the reaction if a prominent politician running a major county in a state publicly said these things in an op-ed in a major newspaper:

"If [the] County's White leadership of faith-based, business, educational, political, community groups and grassroots organizations had united our support behind a single consensus candidate, rather than eight White candidates entering the race and duking it out amongst themselves — thereby fracturing our voting power at such a critical time — we would not be in this position."

"Such a travesty would essentially be the same result as having no White representation at all, only worse."

"This could be the first time that [our city], doesn’t have White congressional representation [ ]. Disenfranchised.  Although we had the power to prevent this, we were unable to unify to use it. And this is what we are left with."

"Ever since I was first elected [], I have nurtured a desire to use my position as best I could to solidify White leadership and White voting power throughout the state of Michigan."

and finish off with:

"As an elected official who represents all [ ] County residents, I feel it necessary to add that this is not about granting priority to any group over another, nor should this be misconstrued as anti-Black or any other race."

I daresay such a politician would be run out of town on a rail, and rightly so.

Except in this case he won't be, nor do we have to imagine a politician saying these things, but we just have to replace the word White in the proceeding statements with the word Black, and in the finishing paragraph shift from anti-Black to anti-White and you'll have the piece published by Wayne County [the county that contains Detroit] Executive Warren Evans.

Study - Systemic Racism To Blame For Everything, Even When It Is Not

Even when systemic racism can't be shown to actually exist, it is easy to assign blame to it as an un-falsifiable theory.

One of the great things for progressives about the cant of systemic racism is it deprives Blacks, Browns, what have you, of agency.  Clearly if systemic racism is to blame, it can't be their fault, and AWFLs (Angry Woke Female Liberals) must then come in and save them from themselves while dealing with self-loathing and hating on western civilization.

Systemic racism can be blamed for everything, even when the data shows there are actual and real explanations not linked to the mythical and unproven theory of systemic racism.

Take Covid for example.

The Detroit News: Systemic racism drove higher COVID-19 mortality for Black people study says

Black people are more likely to die of COVID-19 than their White counterparts due to systemic racism, according to a Wayne State University study published in April.

. . .

They found that people were more likely to die from COVID-19 if they lived in environments with high rates of poverty, unemployment and other social determinants of health that often are caused by systemic racism, Chopra said. 

Hmm, sounds bad. But wait, there's more:

The study found no relationship between COVID-19 mortality and the color of a person's skin, Chopra noted. What mattered were the conditions in which they lived. 

Wait a sec, they just said systemic racism is to blame, but then say there is no correlation found between mortality and race.  Is there systemic racism to blame here or not?

"There was no relation between COVID-19 mortality and race," she said. "We found that the Black population in large urban centers — these populations are not inherently at greater risk for higher mortality, but our results supported the possibility that it is the social/economic vulnerability.

So again, the study says it is not race but living in urban centers and making certain lifestyle choices that can be unhealthy? Who knew?

“Systemic racism is implicated because we feel it shapes the circumstances and policies that are responsible for the inequitable distribution of resources across communities of color,” Chopra said.   

Ah, so this determination is based on feelings, not data.  If you assign people no agency, systemic racism must be to blame.  Did they study Blacks and other minorities outside of urban centers for mortality?  Was there any difference form whites in the same areas that would demonstrate systemic racism?  Of course they did not.  

Heck did they compare mortality between comparable poor urban whites and blacks in the study - no, reading the study it shows they did not.   They solely looked at a majority-minority area for their study.

The study actually finds that people in crowded environments, having low socio-economic status and using public transportation make one more likely to be vulnerable to Covid.  The racial aspect is tacked on as they only looked at a poor urban area in Detroit with a 90% Black population and did not control or compare to a similar socio-economic area that is predominantly white. 

The study at most shows that if you are poor, have comorbidities, live in crowded housing, and take public transport, you are more likely to die of (or with) Covid than if you are none of these things. 

In short, the study's conclusion as to systemic racism is abject junk science, but it does get headlines.

Princeton: Well, That Woke Pronouncement Didn't Go As Expected

Mouthing woke bromides in an official capacity can cause issues.

The President of Princeton was quick to abase himself before the BLM masses and pronounced in an open letter, published on their website no less to state that:

Racism and the damage it does to people of color nevertheless persist at Princeton as in our society, sometimes by conscious intention but more often through unexamined assumptions and stereotypes, ignorance or insensitivity, and the systemic legacy of past decisions and policies. 

Racist assumptions from the past also remain embedded in structures of the University itself.

Yep, the President of Princeton publicly announced that Princeton is a racist institution, embedded with racism.   What could possibly go wrong with such a statement?

Now, he meant it in a wonderfully self-abasing progressive way that all the proper-thinking and feeling would understand, but words do mean things after all.

So the Department of Education decided to take action, and based on the admissions by the President in the letter has decided to launch an investigation into whether Princeton has been violating the Civil Rights act and should continue to receive federal funding, as racist institutions should not be receiving federal dollars: 

Washington Examiner:  EXCLUSIVE: Education Department opens investigation into Princeton University after president deems racism 'embedded' in the school

Oopsies.  Yep, Princeton may just lose federal funding for their president's woke announcement that they are a profoundly racist institution if such racism is actually found to exist if not then the President was lying in his letter.  

Even better, it just opened the door to an investigation to see exactly how racist they in fact are - which could look into their admissions policies regarding Jews and Asians which could be rather embarrassing to Princeton as well as other race-based policies they may have adopted.

Remember Folks, Everyone Who Doesn't Buy Into Your Political Preferences Is A Racist

The current Dem playbook on winning friends and influencing people apparently entails solely of calling them racists.

This is because there's nothing more effective and likely to get voters with disagreements with you over a variety of policy preferences to cross over and start voting Democrat than calling them racist.

The Detroit News: Michigan party leaders clash after Dem leader calls Trump voters 'racist'

Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes said supporters of President Donald Trump are "racist."

In a Sunday statement, Barnes said it was time to have “uncomfortable conversations" and end the silence surrounding black oppression, including efforts to suppress the black vote.

“If you support Donald Trump, you are a racist,” Barnes wrote. “Here is where it gets tricky and uncomfortable. Donald Trump is a racist, and if being a racist is not a deal-breaker for you, you are the reason black people are being murdered for being black.”

When she got called out on this nonsensical and quite frankly racist statement, she of course doubled down and claimed she was the victim in the situation.

Barnes fired back Monday calling Cox’s statement an attempt “to shame me for speaking truth to power.” She said the Republican leader’s response was an attempt to “deflect, blame and lie.”

Democrats love this "truth to power" BS. She's the freakin' Leader of the Democrat party in Michigan. Her party controls the Governors office, the Secretary of State's office and the Attorney General's office. What power be she speakin' truth to here? She sure doesn't seem to be talkin' to herself nor her fellow Democrats in power.

Funny how as the head of the Democratic party in Michigan she failed to call out the Democrat-run police forces, prosecutors, and governments in these Blue cities that are having all this "oppression" for their "racism". Instead jumped straight to blaming Trump who has no control over these cities policies on use of force and actions taken when someone is resisting arrest, has backed protests and condemned inappropriate use of force but has not condoned rioting and vandalism.

Funny that, isn't it?

Dem State Rep Slurs Opponent, Demand Voters Vote Based On Race

This would likely be getting more media play if it was otherwise, but it's a story about a Detroit Democrat making racist remarks.

The Detroit News: Detroit legislator apologizes for racial slurs

State Rep. Bettie Cook Scott apologized in a statement issued Thursday after liberal advocacy group Progress Michigan revealed this week that Scott referred to state Rep. Stephanie Chang as a “ching-chong” and told voters at precincts during the Aug. 7 primary that she was disgusted “seeing Black people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people."

Scott and Chang, both from Detroit, were two of six Democratic candidates running for state Senate District 1. Chang won the primary race with nearly 50 percent of the vote.

It also goes to show the racism of the Democrats and their unearned sense of entitlement that their constituents are expected to vote for them based on race.

If your best argument for someone to vote for you rather than your opponent is your skin color, you're doing it wrong and darn well deserve to lose.
