YETI Refuses To Customize Cups With The Word ‘Conservative’
Democrats treat ‘disobedient’ blacks like runaway slaves
Democrats’ attacks on black conservatives who attended President Trump’s recent Black History Month celebration at the White House reveal the lengths to which progressives will go to punish disobedient “runaways.”
In the view of big-government Democrats, black conservatives who support free-market capitalism, Christian faith, marriage, traditional family values, school choice, and entrepreneurship are not independent thinkers but “sellouts.”
Their no-holds-barred approach to getting uncooperative black people back in line is so obvious at this point that even Stevie Wonder can see it.
Roland Martin mocked attendees by calling them “The Help.” Talbert Swan, a self-described bishop, called them “coons.” A content creator with over 20,000 followers on X captioned a White House post featuring a well-known rapper with “Dance monkey!” Meanwhile, the woman who runs the nonprofit Concerned Black Men dismissed the president’s guests as “step and fetch negroes.”
The personal attacks even found their way into the pulpit. Jamal Bryant, the political operative masquerading as a pastor, used his Sunday “sermon” to rebuke the people he claimed were “tap-dancing for massa.”
I attended the event and am not surprised by any of the responses.
President Trump invited influencers, activists, journalists, athletes, and politicians to highlight the contributions black Americans have made to American history. None of that matters to the left.
Democrats speak in SIGN language — shame, insults, guilt, and nagging — any time a wayward black voter rejects them. The same people who say society should listen to “black voices” turn savage the minute one of those people doesn’t obey their commands.
Their no-holds-barred approach to getting uncooperative black people back in line is so obvious at this point that even Stevie Wonder can see it. They ran this play during the election and are picking up where they left off in November.
Barack Obama caused a stir with the public scolding he gave “the brothers” during his campaign stop in Pittsburgh. The former president stated that some black men were thinking about sitting out the election — or even considering voting for Donald Trump — because they didn’t want to vote for a woman.
The left’s disdain for political autonomy also explains why Joy Reid claimed black men who voted for Trump were doing so because of a “fascist groundswell.” Sunny Hostin, co-host of “The View,” called black men who voted for Trump “ridiculous” and “crazy” without any pushback from her colleagues.
This is not how you treat people you hope to persuade. This is how you speak to people you believe you own.
The left’s penchant for likening black conservatives to slaves is ironic considering the extent to which liberals believe bigger government and better white people are the keys to racial uplift.
Democrats sold the black community on the lie that fathers in the home aren’t necessary as long as the government spends money on social programs for low-income mothers and their children.
Black liberals are also the people who see diversity, equity, and inclusion rollbacks in government as a racial attack and think federal agencies must affirm their identity every February.
Black progressives are even willing to sacrifice their own children on the altar of abortion — despite its disproportionate racial impact — because Democrats are beholden to Planned Parenthood.
Progressives accuse black conservatives of being beholden to “massa” because people who lack self-awareness always project their mischief and insecurities onto others.
Liberals have spent decades convincing their most loyal voters that Democrats are the key to delivering equality and prosperity to black Americans. In turn, many blacks — sometimes subconsciously — believe their destinies are tied to the party. They believe racial solidarity is a prerequisite for achieving utopia, which is why they punish defectors who threaten this arrangement.
Black elites have enabled the Democrats to practice the politics of personal connection, superficial representation, and cultural affirmation for decades.
They tell us to celebrate because our elected officials look like us, carry hot sauce in their purse, sing Negro spirituals, and kneel in the Capitol while wearing kente cloth. None of those things mean they are serving our interests.
Black conservatives understand that better than most. We also know that people who think the government can take them to the promised land are in no position to accuse anyone of being a slave.
How Trump’s Victory Affects The Civil War In Evangelicalism
Damning study reveals what DEI does to people — and unsurprisingly, it's really bad
Few public and private institutions proved resistant in recent years to infection by the race-obsessive ideology underpinning the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement. The body politic appears, however, to be experiencing a belated immune response.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard/UNC, for instance, helped pave the way for the dismantling of DEI on college and university campuses nationwide. Lawsuits and federal civil rights complaints targeting companies' DEI initiatives immediately followed. Likely keen to avoid similar legal challenges and facing pressure from normalcy advocates, multiple American organizations once captive to the race-obsessed program, including Ford, Harley-Davidson, Tractor Supply, Jack Daniel's, and Walmart, have abandoned DEI.
A study published Monday by the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University provided strong justification for why Americans should dismantle the remainder of the DEI regime sooner rather than later, noting that race-obsessed programming is divisive, counterproductive, and helps create authoritarians.
'Some DEI programs not only fail to achieve their goals but can actively undermine efforts.'
The study, titled "Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy Produces the Hostile Attribution Bias," noted at the outset that a Pew Research Center study found in 2023 that over half of American workers have DEI meetings or trainings at work.
While the re-education that the majority of American workers are compelled to undergo is supposedly intended to increase empathy in interpersonal interactions, cultivate inclusive environments, and maximize diversity on the basis of immutable characteristics and sexual preferences, the study indicated that there is evidence to suggest "that some DEI programs not only fail to achieve their goals but can actively undermine efforts."
"Specifically, mandatory trainings that focus on particular target groups can foster discomfort and perceptions of fairness," said the study. "DEI initiatives seen as affirmative action rather than business strategy can provoke backlash, increasing rather than reducing racial resentment. And diversity initiatives aimed at managing bias can fail, sometimes resulting in decreased representation and triggering negativity among employees."
The researchers collected various DEI education materials used across three groupings — race, religion, and caste — in "interventional and educational settings," excerpted rhetoric from the materials, then employed the excerpts in psychological surveys "measuring explicit bias, social distancing, demonization, and authoritarian tendencies." Participants in the study were also tasked with reviewing the materials or neutral control materials.
The results were damning.
The researchers found that across all three groupings, participants "engendered a hostile attribution bias, amplifying perceptions of prejudicial hostility where none was present, and punitive responses to the imaginary prejudice."
In one test, researchers split 423 Rutgers University students into two groups. One group read an apolitical control essay about American corn production while the other read an essay incorporating racist CRT propaganda from Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.
After each group completed reading their assigned materials, participants were presented with a "racially neutral scenario" — where a student's application to an elite East Coast university was rejected following his interview by an admissions officer — and asked questions about their perceptions of racism in the interaction. The scenario did not mention the race of either the hypothetical student or the admissions officer.
'Exposure to anti-oppressive narratives can increase the endorsement of the type of demonization and scapegoating characteristic of authoritarianism.'
The group previously provided with propaganda from Kendi and DiAngelo reportedly "developed a hostile attribution bias ... perceiv[ing] the admissions officer as significantly more prejudiced than did those who read the neutral corn essay."
According to the researchers, "Participants exposed to the anti-racist rhetoric perceived more discrimination from the admissions officer (~21%), despite the complete absence of evidence of discrimination. They believed the admissions officer was more unfair to the applicant (~12%), had caused more harm to the applicant (~26%), and had committed more microaggressions (~35%)."
Simply put, Kendi and DiAngelo had students seeing racism and unfairness that wasn't there.
In the other groupings, participants provided DEI materials similarly turned out nastier than the control group.
For instance, in the caste study, Adolf Hitler quotes resonated with participants who were exposed to DEI materials when the word "Jew" was swapped out for "Brahmin."
"These findings suggest that exposure to anti-oppressive narratives can increase the endorsement of the type of demonization and scapegoating characteristic of authoritarianism," wrote the researchers.
"When DEI initiatives typically affirm the laudable goals of combating bias and promoting inclusivity, an emerging body of research warns that these interventions may foster authoritarian mindsets, particularly when anti-oppressive narratives exist within an ideological and vindictive monoculture," said the study. "The push toward absolute equity can undermine pluralism and engender a (potentially violent) aspiration of ideological purity."
The paper concluded, "The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment."

Trump Assassination Attempts Are The Logical Result Of The Left’s Marxist ‘Oppression’ Narrative
15 Times 2024 Was Orwell’s 1984
Weaponizing The Justice System Is An Attack On All Americans, Not Just Trump
Is ANOTHER Glenn Beck prediction about to come true?
Nearly two years ago, Glenn Beck issued a warning to his audience: “The federal government [will] use climate change as the national emergency,” which will “give the president the kinds of powers that a president only gets when we are attacked on the homeland and are at war.”
Today, Glenn’s prescience was confirmed.
According to a Daily Caller article published Thursday, “White House officials are weighing whether to declare a national climate emergency several months out from the 2024 election.”
However, this isn’t the first time the Biden administration has threatened to flex its climate change muscles.
“The president’s administration previously considered a similar measure back in 2022 once negotiations over clean energy failed ... Biden also said that he declared a climate emergency in 2023 when he implemented ‘conservative policies,”’ the article reported.
So, when Glenn said that “all of the agencies that are supposed to protect and defend the Constitution” would be “used to protect and defend the agenda against climate change,” it looks like he may be about to be proved right.
While the decision to officially declare a national climate emergency has not yet been made, the pressure to make such a drastic move is higher than ever considering the upcoming election.
The article noted that “such a move could help Biden win over some of the youth vote,” which he desperately needs to beat Trump, whom he’s been trailing in the polls.
According to Aru Shiney-Ajay, the executive director for the Sunshine Movement — an organization that advocates for political action in matters related to climate change — “If Biden wants to win the youth vote, he needs to take forceful action on climate change.”
Only time will tell if Biden decides to finally pull the trigger and declare a national climate emergency. However, considering Glenn tends to be quite clairvoyant on these matters, we won’t be shocked if the official announcement comes.
To hear Glenn’s warning from June of 2022, watch the clip below.
