NYC’s Socialist Mayoral Candidate Proposes Blatantly Racist Scheme
All the while framing himself as a victim
Liberals rage after Trump welcomes white refugees to US: 'Farce and a sham'
Liberal activists and media personalities have long championed America's acceptance of refugees, especially from terrorist hotbeds like Afghanistan and Syria. They characterized criticism of this acceptance — particularly that born of concerns about national security threats — as racist, xenophobic, and un-Christian, and framed the Trump administration's targeting of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program earlier this year as immoral.
Support for bringing in persecuted people from afar suddenly crumbled Monday after the Trump administration welcomed 59 white Afrikaners at Dulles International Airport under the URAP.
MSNBC's "Deadline White House," for instance, was abuzz with condemnations, ascriptions of collective guilt, and racially charged commentary.
Rick Stengel, a former official in the Obama administration, told a sullen Nicolle Wallace that the admission of a handful of South African farmers — whom major political parties in Pretoria gleefully sing about butchering in packed stadiums — was "deeply and morally wrongheaded and repulsive. These are the descendants of the people who created the most diabolical system of white supremacy in human history, apartheid."
'It's taking places away from refugees who are really being crushed.'
While acknowledging that the landed Afrikaner families, which include numerous young children, were not directly responsible for apartheid, Stengel suggested they were nevertheless beneficiaries of racism and themselves racists. Meanwhile, over at NBC News, talking head Andrea Mitchell alternatively suggested that young children also bore responsibility for apartheid.

After intimating the white farmers own too much land — a perceived issue South Africa's socialist-run regime appears keen to rectify with its new land-confiscation law — Stengel stated, "There's no injustice here. As you mentioned, it's taking places away from refugees who are really being crushed by authoritarian governments and military governments."

"It's just a farce and a sham," continued Stengel. "It's like a Batman movie or something where all the bad guys get collected under one roof."
African American studies professor Eddie Glaude, another one of Wallace's apoplectic guests, suggested the administration's supposed white nationalism was evidenced by the admission of a football-team's worth of South African farmers.
Former and current Democrats similarly rent their garments and ran with this narrative.
Former Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) suggested to MSNBC that the problem is the Afrikaners' race, noting that their admission demonstrates the Trump administration's "disdain for people of color."

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), fresh off trying to bring a Salvadoran MS-13 affiliate accused of domestic abuse and human trafficking back into the U.S., similarly condemned the acceptance of the Afrikaners, claiming they do not need refugee status and their acceptance was part of a "sick global apartheid policy."
The aversion to bringing in white refugees does not appear to be limited to Democrats and their friends in the media.
'Afrikaners fleeing persecution are welcome in the United States.'
Blaze News previously reported that the Episcopal Migration Ministries, an arm of the Episcopal Church that has served as one of 10 agencies the U.S. government contracts to resettle refugees, announced Monday that it will not help white Afrikaners on account of the church's "steadfast commitment to racial justice."
The presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, Sam Rowe, revealed in a letter to fellow Episcopalians that rather than resettle farmers from South Africa classified by the U.S. government as refugees, the EMM will end its contract with the federal government by the end of this fiscal year.
"Any religious group should support the plight of Afrikaners, who have been terrorized, brutalized, and persecuted by the South African government," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Blaze News. "The Afrikaners have faced unspeakable horrors and are no less deserving of refugee resettlement than the hundreds of thousands of others who were allowed into the United States during the past administration. President Trump has made it clear: refugee resettlement should be about need, not politics."

President Donald Trump told reporters Monday, "It's a genocide that's taking place that you people don't want to write about, but it's a terrible thing that's taking place."
"Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white," continued Trump. "Whether they're white or black, makes no difference to me, but white farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday afternoon, "Afrikaners fleeing persecution are welcome in the United States. The South African government has treated these people terribly — threatening to steal their private land and subjected them to vile racial discrimination. The Trump Administration is proud to offer them refuge in our great country."

The racist DEI caste system is coming to an end
While the left continues to brand everything white as “racist,” at some point in our recent history, white people have actually become the unprotected class in America.
However, President Donald Trump’s recent election has the power to change that.
“I do think that this gives the possibility of folding an anti-white discrimination agenda into, like, an actual thing that is not just about white people but about a kind of multiethnic group of people who don’t want to discriminate on the basis of race,” former Stanford research fellow Jeremy Carl tells James Poulos on “Zero Hour.”
“As people on the left try to comprehend what happened with Trump, you’re going to hear a lot more about ‘multi-racial whiteness,’” Carl continues. “What that basically just means functionally is people who are not white who want to be part of the American project and be perceived as normatively American.”
“Which is, of course, a wonderful thing, and we should encourage this, but this drives the left to rage like almost nothing else,” he adds.
Of course, this is because the left would love for all minorities in America to claim their victim card and look to their white, so-called “anti-racist” leaders for guidance.
But over the past four years under Biden, their opposition has begun to fill up with characters who don’t fit the caricature the left has drawn of the racists supposedly running rampant throughout the country.
“This is now becoming a running joke on the internet,” Poulos says. “Most of those guys are themselves Latinos.”
“I’m almost hesitant to say the word 'Nick Fuentes' because I feel like somebody will come out and attack me," Carl chimes in, adding, "I’m summoning the demon, but it’s sort of funny that the kind of most notorious of these so-called white supremacists today is this guy who is at least partially of Latino descent."
“You have some overcompensation going on, right, and I wouldn’t call it so harmless as to be a joke, but it’s a reaction and frustration to the straight jacket that they’re being put in,” he continues, noting that the way these pro-white characters operate isn’t the best path forward in dismantling the racist DEI caste system.
“This can’t just be a project of white people whining about how they’re oppressed and trying to play a victim class and seeing if they can get something against other people,” Carl explains, adding, “It has to be ultimately, a consensus reality that people of a wide variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds agree that we’ve got this problem and are trying to address it.”

Jemele Hill's HATRED for Caitlin Clark SILENCED following stalker arrest
Journalist Jemele Hill is one of Caitlin Clark’s biggest haters, but after recent news of Clark’s stalker’s arrest, she’s clearly begun to regret that decision and wiped all of her past comments on the WNBA star off social media.
However, the internet never forgets.
“I don’t like to play the Oppression Olympics, but … has CC had to delete her social media accounts? No, but her teammate Aliyah Boston did. CC has given out a few hard shots herself, talked trash, jawed with the refs, and yes any time she is subjected to physical play, a hard foul, or trash talk, opposing players are absolutely villainized,” Hill wrote in now-deleted post on X.
“She is not constantly subjected to racial slurs, and whatever hate she does experience, she is not told to toughen up or that her feelings don’t matter. She is not subjected to both sides-ism, nor are people trying to justify any hatred against her. That’s the difference,” Hill continued.
Hill attempted to delete the tweets after Michael Lewis, 55, was charged with stalking Clark. Prosecutors allege he engaged in a “course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Caitlin Clark that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized.”
Lewis allegedly sent vulgar and sexually graphic messages to Clark on social media platform X.
While Jason Whitlock and Steve Kim of “Fearless” are grateful Clark’s stalker is having his day in court, they, like the internet, have not forgotten the attack tweets Hill has run on Clark.
“Jemele Hill got busted,” Whitlock says happily. “She got exposed once again.”
“Miss Hill wrote she doesn’t play in the victim Olympics; are you kidding me? She’s won more gold medals than Carl Lewis and Michael Phelps. She’s the greatest of all time at them,” Kim laughs.
“I don’t understand why people, Miss Hill, ever delete their tweets. Do they not realize, and I’ve gone through this, everyone will basically screenshot stuff that you say and just keep it in that folder. They’ll keep it in the draft forever. They have that thing holstered like Wyatt Earp,” Kim adds.

Latest New Yorker cover's not-so-hidden message: Death to the white family
“Ultimately, it’s just about resentment and hatred of white people. There’s nothing more to it than that.”
That was my immediate response to the cover of the September 9 edition of the New Yorker when I saw it a few days ago. The more I look at it, the more I feel my instinct was right. This isn’t harmless. Far from it.
Americans are subject, on a daily basis, to levels of anti-white propaganda that would shame Radio Rwanda in its squalid prime.
Of course, if you asked the artist or anybody at the New Yorker what the cover’s supposed to mean, I’m sure they’d say something along the lines of:
“Oh, this is about the ‘invisible labor’ performed by persons of color in support of white middle-class Americans, without which white middle-class Americans would not be able to live their lives of comfort and privilege. We believe this is a particularly important moment to remind white people of the value of the tireless work performed by persons of color, and in particular immigrants, because of the divisive rhetoric of Donald Trump and his supporters …” and so on.
You get the idea. We’ve all heard it before. It’s trite.
But I think there’s more to it than that.
The message I get is much darker: Life would be so much better without white people and, in particular, white children. Which is to say, white people shouldn’t reproduce.
Just look at the African-American lady sitting on the bench. She could be having coffee with her high-achieving son — a true high achiever, because he hasn’t had the unearned benefits of white supremacy — but instead she has to babysit someone else’s blonde-haired, blue-eyed child.
The symbolism, down to the blonde hair and the blue eyes, is deliberate.
Symbols always exist within a broader web of other symbols. An image like the New Yorker cover can’t be interpreted apart from all those other symbols and collections of symbols that give meaning to anti-white hatred in America today.
America is a nation where, perhaps more than any other Western nation, anti-white hatred has become an essential part of the dominant ideology, if not the dominant ideology itself. Americans are subject, on a daily basis, to levels of anti-white propaganda that would shame Radio Rwanda in its squalid prime.
And let’s not forget the actual harm white Americans suffer too: the humiliation, the workplace discrimination, the attacks, robberies, rapes, and murders.
There’s even a special government department, the Community Relations Service, that exists solely to get white people to pretend anti-white racism isn’t real when one of their loved ones is killed in a clearly racist attack. I’ve written about the CRS at length.
Saying white people shouldn’t reproduce is an acceptable message. In 2017, CUNY professor Jessie Daniels, a white woman, wrote a series of tweets in which she said “the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy” and families “reproducing white children” are “part of the problem.”
She received plenty of angry responses, of course, and five minutes in the media spotlight, but she didn’t lose her job. People like Jessie Daniels “educate” America’s children. There are thousands of people like Jessie Daniels in schools and universities across America.
Personally, I don’t think anybody at the New Yorker is that naïve. They’re imagining a world without white people, and they think it would be a whole lot better.
DEI to the moon: Biden’s race-focused agenda is putting NASA’s future at risk
Once upon a time, the brilliant minds behind NASA took us to the moon.
Now, the Harris-Biden administration’s emphasis on DEI policies is sparking criticism for prioritizing inclusivity over the most-qualified personnel, potentially endangering national security and hindering scientific progress.
Meanwhile, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been “stuck” on the International Space Station since June, with the possibility of remaining there for up to 240 days before being rescued, potentially by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
However, DEI comes first — and those behind it have a major issue with the demographics of NASA’s workforce, being that it’s 64% male and 54.1% white.
“What is the white population of America,” said Pat Gray laughing, adding, “that might be a little low.”
“We want to get that down to zero,” Gray mocks.
As of 2020, the U.S. population was made up of 61.6% white people, which means that according to its own stats, white people are still underrepresented at NASA.
“So, your diversity, equity, and inclusion needs to include more white people, not less,” Gray says.

Young Americans for Freedom taking Biden-Harris admin to court over race-based scholarships
The student organization Young Americans for Freedom is taking the Biden-Harris administration to court over a scholarship and career advancement program it claims discriminates against Americans on the basis of race.
According to the federal lawsuit filed this week by the Milwaukee-based Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on behalf of two students and YAF's University of North Dakota chapter, the $60 million Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, which supports around 6,000 students annually, gives preferential treatment to a "list of favored racial groups."
Noticeably missing from that list are Caucasians, Asians, Jews, Arabs, and other students who fail, through no fault of their own, to "fit into a narrow exception for first-generation low-income students," said the lawsuit, which names both the DOE and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona as defendants.
According to the Biden-Harris Department of Education:
Students who qualify for McNair must be enrolled in a degree-granting program at an eligible institution. In all projects, at least two-thirds of the participants must be low-income, potential first-generation college students. The remaining participants may be from groups that are underrepresented in graduate education.
Races listed as "underrepresented" are black, Hispanic, Alaskan Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander.
'Why are we continuing to separate and divide students?'
Those McNair scholars whose dermal pigmentation and ethnicity are to the satisfaction of the Democratic administration can apparently receive an internship stipend worth thousands of dollars along with mentorship and other academic opportunities.
"The McNair Program's racial eligibility requirements are unconstitutional," said the lawsuit. "By using 'race as a factor in affording educational opportunities among its citizens,' the McNair Program violates the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection."
The two individual plaintiffs named in the suit are Avery Durfee, a white female student at the University of North Dakota, and Benjamin Rothhove, a white male student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, both of whom allegedly discovered they were ineligible for the program on the basis of their race.
Durfee said in a statement, "I've worked unbelievably hard throughout my undergraduate career and have wanted to go to graduate school my entire life. Being told that I didn't qualify for the McNair program because I'm white seemed completely wrong. This sends the wrong message to young Americans everywhere."
Rothove noted that he was devastated to learn he was ineligible for the program because of his race.
"This is the 21st century," said Rothhove. "Why are we continuing to separate and divide students?"
This suit, like other recent legal actions targeting similar racist, federally linked initiatives, cites the U.S. Supreme Court's June 29, 2023, ruling in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard/UNC banning race-based college admissions.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts noted, "The student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual — not on the basis of race."
"Many universities have for too long done just the opposite. And in doing so, they have concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual's identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin," continued Roberts. "Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice."
WILL's lawsuit specifically accuses the Biden-Harris DOE of violating the equal protection guarantee under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
"Denying a student the chance to compete for a scholarship based on their skin color is not only discriminatory but also demeaning and unconstitutional," YAF president Scott Walker said in a statement. "At YAF, we proudly defend our students' right to be judged on their merit and abilities, not on race."
Dan Lennington, deputy counsel at WILL — a conservative law firm that has been taking the Biden-Harris administration to task for years over its discriminatory programming — said, "WILL continues its march through Biden-Harris radical DEI programs."
"We have already heard that the administration knows they can't win in court, and so, one by one, we will terminate these discriminatory, taxpayer-funded efforts," added Lennington.
This is not the first time that the McNair program has been dragged over its race-based criteria.
Last year, the Legal Insurrection Foundation's Equal Protection Project filed a civil rights complaint with the DOE's Office of Civil Rights over the McNair program's implementation at the University of Colorado.
"We bring this civil rights complaint … for supporting and promoting a scholarship program that engages in invidious discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin," said the complaint.
According to the the Equal Protection Project, the McNair program is funded by federal dollars and is therefore subject to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. As a result, it is prohibited from intentionally discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin.
WILL's lawsuit also comes amidst a broader societal campaign to kneecap discriminatory corporate policies, particularly those executed in the name of DEI.

Tim Walz – 'the first white man to ever have benefited as a DEI hire in the United States of America.'
Democrats may find themselves in a bit of a pickle this election season with a specific voting bloc — white males. Surely we don’t need to explain why.
Perhaps that’s at least one of the reasons Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her running mate. His “almost over-the-top parody of a Middle American white guy,” as Jeremy Carl put it in his recent article, is an attempt to soften the undeniable blow the left has dealt white men.
Jill Savage, the “Blaze News Tonight” panel, and special guest and BlazeTV host of “The Liz Wheeler Show” Liz Wheeler discuss the phenomenon that is Tim Walz.
- YouTubewww.youtube.com
“It's pretty insane, actually, if you analyze exactly why Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz,” says Liz, adding that Harris missed an opportunity by not picking Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, and the state that, according to a recent report from the Economist, has “the highest chance of being the state that decides the outcome of this election.”
“She chose not to pick Josh Shapiro because he's Jewish. ... She instead kowtowed to the radical anti-Semitic wing of the Democratic Party — you know the guys that are all outside of the DNC right now — the ones that look like a foreign army and not like protesters,” she says.
Liz says her producer humorously called Walz “the first white man to ever have benefited as a DEI hire in the United States of America.”
And it’s true.
“He was picked solely because he is radical enough in his policies that Kamala Harris understands a fellow communist, recognizes one when she sees one, but also because it is an essentially racially motivated effort to portray Tim Walz as your kind of doofy midwestern white dad in hopes that white people in the Midwest, where Kamala Harris needs to win votes ... will look at him and be like, ‘Oh hey, he looks like me. I guess I'll vote for Kamala Harris,”’ Liz explains.
“The word that comes to mind is self-hating,” says Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson.
Given the left’s “anti-white politics with their relentless focus on 'white privilege' and their push for affirmative action, DEI, and other racially discriminatory policies,” to accuse Tim Walz of self-hatred stands to reason.
“He is white, so that means he's self-hating in some way or at least he pretends to hate himself or his heritage in order to garner votes,” Peterson suggests.
Liz thinks Walz’s hatred reaches far beyond just white people, however.
“I would dub him anti-humanity,” she says, pointing to Walz’s stance on abortion and transgenderism and his obvious proclivity for communism and Marxism.

Caitlin Clark attacked on and off the court; critics accuse her of ‘white privilege’
Caitlin Clark was on the receiving end of a hard foul from Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter during her WNBA game on Saturday — and it seemed the attack was for no apparent reason.
While no one is sure what prompted the attack, Sunny Hostin of “The View” has a theory.
“I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege, there is a thing called white privilege, there is a thing called tall privilege, and we have to acknowledge that,” Hostin began.
“And so, part of it is about race because if you think about the Brittney Griners of the world, you know, why did she have to go to play in Russia, because they wouldn’t pay her,” she concluded.
Lauren Chen agrees that there is such a thing as pretty privilege and tall privilege but does not agree with Hostin’s comments about race.
“I think tall privilege is especially going to help you in the WNBA, but I just don’t understand the obsession with automatically, we have to make it about race. From what I understand, it seems like Caitlin Clark is measurably just a better player than these other women, regardless of what their race is,” Chen says.
“I think it’s just a lot easier to say, ‘Oh, well you’re only making it because you’re white,’ then just admit that ‘Yeah, you’re actually better than these other players,’” she adds.
While Chen disagrees with Hostin’s take, "The View" cohost isn’t alone in her views.
Jemele Hill also called Caitlin Clark’s fame “problematic” and about “race and sexuality.”
“We would all be very naive if we didn’t say race and her sexuality played a role in her popularity,” Hill told the L.A. Times. “While so many people are happy for Caitlin’s success — including the player; this has had such an enormous impact on the game — there is a part of it that is a little problematic because of what it says about the worth and the marketability of the players who are already there.”
“Well, maybe marketability is in part based on performance,” Chen comments. “And it kind of seems like Caitlin Clark is just a better performer regardless of her race or her sexuality.”
