Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) once attacked Rep. Byron Donalds (R., Fla.) for having a white wife, saying Donalds "married a white woman and so you think that whitewashed you." It's unclear whether Crockett believes Kamala Harris is "whitewashed" for marrying a white man.

Don Lemon SLAMS black MAGA supporters: 'Can't be rational'



As Don Lemon fades into obscurity, he can’t help but make a few ridiculous comments on his way out. Most recently, it was in the form of shocking claims on Bill Maher’s podcast about black Trump supporters.

“Not all black Republicans, but when I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump’s water and they know that he’s lying, it is the shortest line to the front,” Lemon told Maher on his podcast.

“If you become a black MAGA person, it’s like, ‘Whoa, let’s book this person, let’s put him on television,’” Lemon continued.


“So you don’t think you can be a sincere black MAGA person?” Maher asked.

“I don’t think that you can be a rational MAGA, be black and be a rational MAGA person. I think you can be black and be a Republican,” Lemon responded.

“I think they would find that very insulting,” Maher replied.

“Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting,” Lemon said.

Jason Whitlock and Shemeka Michelle of “Fearless” wouldn’t expect any less from Lemon, noting that it's because he believes there was no time that America was "great" in the past.

"He's arguing like, 'Hey, how can you black people be MAGA, make America great again, because you're now saying that there was some time in the past when America was great.' And Don Lemon completely rejects that and thinks that we should all think that."

"Because if we go back, there was a time when same-sex marriage was illegal, and he's a gay person," he adds.

Black 'Power Ranger' shuts down race-based casting claims: 'The kids didn't care'



A former "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" actor has a message for the fans: Don't judge him by the color of his skin ... or the color of his suit.

In a recent episode of "Toon'd In! with Jim Cummings," actor Walter Jones shut down rumors that his casting as the black ranger had anything to do with the color of his skin.

Jones appeared on the hit show for 79 episodes, becoming a viewer favorite alongside the green and white ranger played by the late Jason David Frank.

While Jones said he was "proud" to don the black suit — "I thought it was cool" — his casting had nothing to do with race.

The 54-year-old also addressed claims that actress Thuy Trang was cast as the yellow ranger because of her Asian ethnicity.

"We originally, in our pilot, had a Latina playing the yellow ranger. But after we got picked up, and we came back, she asked for more money, and they fired her," the actor revealed.

Jones admits he finds the rumors a bit strange, as race on the set just "wasn't a big deal."

Most important, "The kids didn't care."

'Was I somebody that you couldn't be proud of?'

Still, conspiracy theory-minded "Power Rangers" fans have managed to turn a strange pair of coincidences into "something that was never meant to be," said Jones.

"People try to make it and see something that was prejudiced. I've had a lot of people [say], 'What do you think about Power Rangers being prejudiced?' And I'm like, 'Well, one, I'm a role model for kids in 40 different countries, and what's prejudiced about that?'" Jones continued.

The Michigan native said he's always asked those trying to find some kind of racial preference to his casting to judge him by his character instead:

"Am I uneducated? Was I somebody that you couldn't be proud of?" he recalled telling the show's critics.

While Jones said he can still appreciate controversial black characters from his childhood like Buckwheat from "The Little Rascals" and Mr. Bojangles from Shirley Temple's "The Little Colonel," he was proud to have embodied a character who transcended racial stereotypes.

Jones reprised the role in 2023's "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always," a 30th anniversary TV film.

Shakespeare's birthplace, collections to be 'decolonized' over fears his genius evidences British 'cultural supremacy'



The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is an independent charity that cares for the Shakespeare family houses in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, as well as for archival collections relating to his life and works.

Fearful that Shakespeare's globally recognized genius might lead some readers to suspect that not all cultures were created equal, the organization has committed to the process of "decolonizing" its collections and organizational practice to help "create a more inclusive museum experience."

The trust, which came into existence in 1847, acquired early Shakespeare collections from local antiquarians and others from the Stratford-upon-Avon Borough Council and Guild of the Holy Cross. Since appointing its first librarian to catalogue its library and archival materials in 1877, the organization has grown its collection with the help of donations and long-term deposits.

For much of its history, the trust appeared to understand that its function was to preserve Shakespeare's reconstructed birthplace, extol his works, and share England's cultural inheritance with the world. It appears, however, that post-colonialist, post-modern, and other varieties of radical leftist thought have poisoned its mission.

The organization has, for instance, tried to distance itself from the content it is supposed to champion as well as from the hardworking staff who kept the trust going in ages past, noting:

We recognise that the historical materials we hold may represent positions, language, values, and stereotypes that are not consistent with the current values and practices of Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. People accessing our collections may encounter language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise harmful. Some descriptions may have been written by staff, others may have originated from the individuals and organisations that created the records.

The trust appears to have also embarked on a mission of iconoclasm partly as a result of its receipt of funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation is a leftist grant-making organization committed to "racial justice," "migrant justice," and "gender justice." It is also committed to socially re-engineering Britain's arts scene, specifically by "creating a cultural workforce that is more reflective of UK society, by enabling more people to progress in their career in the arts who identify as D/deaf, disabled or neurodivergent, are from communities experiencing racial inequity, or who are economically disadvantaged."

'Purge the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's interpretative policies and brand narratives of Anglocentric and colonialist thought.'

According to the page for a recent "Global Shakespeare" project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is working with elements of the South Asian immigrant communities in the West Midlands to "uncover the hidden stories linked to specific objects and re-examine what they can teach us about the impact of colonialism on our perception of history of the world and the role Shakespeare's work has played as part of this."

The Telegraph reported that the iconoclastic initiative comes in the wake of concerns expressed by academic Helen Hopkins that Shakespeare's unparalleled literary genius might be used to push "white supremacy," and that in order to be globalized, Shakespeare must effectively be stripped of his national character.

Hopkins, who collaborated with the trust as an embedded researcher, suggested in 2022 that in the interest of "implementing positive change at the heart of Shakespeare's cultural iconography," namely the trust's museum, it was necessary to "recognise the role Shakespeare has been forced to play in establishing and upholding imperialistic narratives of cultural supremacy; to purge the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's interpretative policies and brand narratives of Anglocentric and colonialist thought; to institute new communicative strategies to address societal inequities that are embedded in imperialism and associated with Shakespeare’s global cultural status."

'They cannot stand that an Englishman is the greatest writer that the world has ever produced.'

Hopkins noted further that it was a tragedy that the trust prioritized Shakespeare over its sub-collection of objects related to the 19th-century Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore but expressed hope that the trust could engage in "decolonial work" and "mark the beginning of a new relationship between itself and the multicultural and global communities it serves." To Hopkins' likely delight, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has made sure to start hyping the foreign poet in the time since.

The trust told the Telegraph in a statement, "As part of our ongoing work, we’ve undertaken a project which explores our collections to ensure they are as accessible as possible."

Critics have rushed to defend Shakespeare following reports of the efforts to downplay the Bard's greatness and identity and the trust's efforts to effectively globalize his town.

"For the last 300 years, Europe and the West have stood head and shoulders above every other civilization," historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo told GB News. "The most profound and sophisticated music, art, and culture has come from the West, and we need to lose the embarrassment and be proud to admit the genius of the West and celebrate that Shakespeare was an Englishman."

"That's what sticks in the craw of the anti-Western ideologues that run our cultural institutions," continued Heydel-Mankoo, "because they cannot stand that an Englishman is the greatest writer that the world has ever produced, and they will do anything to diminish and downplay that achievement."

An American Hero, No Longer Unsung

Born in Massachusetts in 1823, Higginson was a crusader for many causes, encouraged by his mother’s wish that he set himself "on a course that will lead to perfection." A boxer in his teens and a graduate of Harvard by 17 (he later returned for his graduate studies), Higginson dedicated his life to fighting for what he called a "Sisterhood of Reforms" that would enable America to live up to the promise of its principles. Though he was the descendant of New England’s first white settlers, he, as Egerton puts it, "cast his lot with the persecuted and oppressed." Along the way he interacted and often befriended his era’s most seminal figures. He mentored a young Emily Dickinson, sipped tea with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and maintained close ties with Mark Twain and Henry David Thoreau. He debated abolitionist strategies with Frederick Douglass, hosted Ralph Waldo Emerson, and had frequent dinners with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Al Green cries ‘invidious discrimination’ following ejection from President Trump’s address



Last week, President Trump spoke to the nation in his first address to Congress since returning to the White House.

During his speech, Democrats’ behavior was beyond appalling. Most sat in stony silence, refusing to clap or stand when a child with cancer was honored but applauded wildly when a foreign country was mentioned. Others wore pink to protest an “attack” on women’s rights, even though those same congressmen voted down a bill that would ban biological men from competing in women’s sports. Several held signs that read “lies” or “Musk steals.”

But nobody was more embarrassing than Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was ejected from the room by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for heckling President Trump and shaking his cane.

Now Green is claiming that his ousting was not due to his “radical and extreme and ridiculous” behavior but rather because of racism, says Pat Gray.

On a recent episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Green said, “There is invidious discrimination in the House of Representatives. I’m a son of the segregated South. The rights that the Constitution recognized for me — my friends and neighbors deny it. I had to sit in the back of the bus, the balcony of the movie, drink from a colored water fountain, and my relatives who committed some crimes were locked up in the bottom of the jail. … The Klan burned a cross in my yard.”

“When the speaker decided that I would be removed and then there was this motion, this resolution to censure me, it became obvious to me that I was not being treated as others were, and candidly speaking, it is invidious discrimination,” he added, noting that he was “willing to suffer that” to get a “message to the president.”

“So he’s the victim,” sighs co-host Keith Malinak. “He was only escorted out because he's a black man standing up to a white man.”

“Not because he was interrupting the speech of the president of the United States repeatedly. That had nothing to do with it,” Pat adds sarcastically.
