A few weekends ago, I got into a series of arguments with a white man I didn’t know at a housewarming party for someone else I didn’t really know. Somewhere between our civil shouting matches about #BlackLivesMatter, American policing, and “not seeing color” (an idea I find absurd and counterproductive), he took the…
CBS This Morning now has audio from Omarosa Manigault Newman of what she says is a conversation between Trump campaign officials about the existence of and potential spin on an Apprentice tape in which Donald Trump uses the N-word. A development that will shock precisely no one and change absolutely nothing.
Imagine that you’ve been hacked. What do you do? Maybe you spend two hours poking around the Internet for an answer, only to fuck up your computer so bad you need your neighbor’s kid to fix it. Maybe you call Geek Squad. Or, if you’re white, I guess you might freak out and call 9-1-1. But if you are Central New York…
Asking for plastic cutlery, sitting too long, and taking too long in the bathroom have all been alleged reasons for arresting black people at restaurants in 2018; questioning the restaurant’s credit card policy is also grounds for throwing a person out of the building, it seems. The Kansas City Star reports that the…
Congratulations to Georgia state Rep. Jason Spencer, who has succeeded where so, so many racists before him have failed: embarrassing the Republican Party to the point of being forced out.
Nearly one year after cities and states across the country began taking down Confederate monuments in response to a deadly gathering of white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, a black man in Louisiana is arguing that a courthouse with a statue of a Confederate soldier at its entrance cannot fairly or…
Did Trump decide we’re just not gonna do this NATO shit anymore yet or what?
The deputy district attorney for the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office is extremely racist, turns out.
Apparently even willing to die for this country isn’t good enough for the Trump administration. The U.S. Army has been quietly kicking out immigrant recruits and reservists enlisted under a program that would grant them a pathway to citizenship. The Associated Press reports that at least 40 people have been discharged…
The Trump administration wants colleges to adopt a so-called race-blind (read: racist) approach to college admissions, effectively revoking an Obama administration policy that encouraged schools to consider race in the admissions process as a means of creating more diverse campuses.
Muslims in Denmark are bracing for a series of cruel, dehumanizing laws that will further push them to the outskirts of Danish society. The New York Times reports that the government is preparing to introduce a set of laws that “regulate life in 25 low-income and heavily Muslim enclaves” and force Muslims to erase…
Lest you hoped that Trump experienced a fleeting brush with emotions this week when he admitted that family separation was terrible and blamed it on the Democrats and then put his jumbo-size president signature on an executive order halting the practice, saying he “didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families…
Like Donald Trump, Italy’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini hates immigrants, admires fascists, and is a big fan of Vladimir Putin. On Monday, Salvini announced a plan to conduct a census of the Roma population in Italy and deport anyone who doesn’t have Italian nationality.
A day after Jeff Sessions defended the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents by citing a verse from the New Testament, the attorney general spoke about immigration and the Department of Justice’s commitment to “restoring the rule of law in our immigration system” in Scranton,…
White supremacists, newly emboldened by their racist buddy Donald Trump, are working to grow their numbers, actively recruiting on college campuses, and using social media to to expand their reach. They’re also training for violent confrontation.
It looks like at least one of the many men vying for Bachelorette Becca Kufrin’s heart and hand has a checkered social media history that has just now come to light.
A new collectible for you:
Many people were mildly surprised when the new Roseanne reboot positioned Roseanne as an explicit Trump supporter—but not Amber Ruffin!!
Aaron Schlossberg, the Manhattan lawyer whose racist rant at Spanish speaking restaurant employees went viral this week, doesn’t like being in the limelight. He probably should have thought about that before loudly harassing Latinx people in a busy Midtown eatery.
