Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Young Turks: Culture War Over! Nike, Kaepernick Led Progressives To Victory! The progressive flag-waving founder of The Young Turks Network says Nike's Colin Kaepernick campaign serves as proof that progressives have won the culture wars. He also hopes the former San Francisco quarterback wins enough money in his collusion lawsuit against the NFL to buy a team. Cenk Uygur (appropriately seated on the far left in panel photo) made these declarations on The Young Turks' Thursday Youtube video program, "In 2019 Ban Bill Belichick And Hire Colin Kaepernick." In a review of 2018, The Young Turks panel members unanimously supported Kaepernick and said New England Patriots' coach Bill Belicheck is the one deserving of a ban by the NFL for cheating. Unlike NFL players who have beaten up women, driven drunk or "shot a gun," the ex-49er Kaepernick never physically harmed anybody, The Young Turks, who aren't actually all that young, agreed. Uygur took contro

Politico draws heat for article featuring almost-exclusively White historians The political journalism outlet asked 16 of the "smartest historians" to reflect on what the history books will say about 2018. Readers were quick to point out that the historians were almost uniformly White.

Pro-Trump physical therapist admits he uses the N-word 'all the time' in bungled defense of racist referee : A white man who is a fan of Donald Trump tried to defend a racist referee in New Jersey — by admitting that he and his friends use racial slurs regularly. After feminist author Jill Filipovic wrote a column for CNN detailing why the referee who forced a black wrestler to cut off his dreadlocks is an example of all-American racism, she received a self-incriminating email from a Texan physical therapist. “This email is… something,” … A white man who is a fan of Donald Trump tried to defend a racist referee in New Jersey — by admitting that he and his friends use racial slurs regularly.

Senate Republicans, follow Tim Scott's lead. Reject judges with records tainted by racism. Of all the sad examples of unqualified judicial nominees put forward by President Donald Trump, few were more confounding than the case of Thomas Farr. Farr was a known protégé of one of North Carolina’s most notoriously racist politicians, the late Sen. Jesse Helms. Early in Farr’s nomination, damning evidence emerged that Farr not only defended, but also likely took part in, a Helms campaign scheme to scare African-American voters away from the polls. The plot involved threatening postcards mailed to citizens’ homes, with misleading warnings of possible arrest should they try to vote.  It was an egregious episode in our nation’s racist past, and it was not a secret. But a central player, Farr, seemed on track to cruise to confirmation as a federal judge in North Carolina’s Eastern District this year. Only at the 11th hour was his confirmation derailed by opposition from Sout

A pregnant mother of two was found dead in a Madison County, Mississippi jail cell after complaining to jail officials of stomach pains A pregnant mother of two was found dead in a Madison County, Mississippi jail cell sometime last week after complaining to jail officials of stomach pains, her family says. Now, the family of 37-year-old Lanekia Michelle Brown is trying to piece together what happened to her in a death they deem “very suspicious.” “We talked to her and she was okay. If she had any kind of problems, she would have let us know,” a family member told CBS affiliate WJTV . Brown was three or four weeks pregnant, her family says, and had no previous health issues. She was being held at the Madison County Detention Center, where she was awaiting trial for a felony charge of trafficking a controlled substance. It’s not clear whether Brown couldn’t make bail prior to her trial or was denied it. It’s also unclear when Brown died. According to WJTV, a Mississi
