NBC News Stirs the ‘Systemic Racism’ Pot With Update on Once-Inaccessible Activities

For years, the Left — aided by the media — have said certain activities are “inaccessible” to Black Americans, and blamed “systemic racism” for the exclusion of specific demographics. Some of those racist things included milk, Sydney Sweeney’s jeans, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, skiing, cycling, and weight loss.

Now, NBC News is back to stir the racism pot again with an update to that “systemic” and “exclusionary” racism by announcing that people who always had access to these activities are now accessing them.

Here’s more:

Tonya Parker was not looking to add another activity to her life. She traveled the world as a flight attendant and regularly practiced ballet and yoga. She was not searching for new friends, either. After attending Spelman College in Atlanta, she had plenty.

With two grown children who made her proud, Parker’s life was full — or so she thought.

The Covid-19 pandemic led her to a sport she had considered mundane: golf. She was invited to a few golf events and participated. She struggled. But one day, thinking of how tired she was of her friends making fun of her golf game, Parker secretly began taking lessons. Soon enough, her friends noticed improvement. And she noticed her own growing passion for the sport.

Remember, when White people engage in activities like belly dancing, drum circles, hip-hop dancing, and other activities, that’s “cultural appropriation” and inherently evil.

Woke Libs Freak Out and Label Pantone’s Color of the Year ‘Racist,’ Then Look (Even More) Ridiculous When They Learn Who Runs the Company

Just to get this out of the way, I find the mere concept of “Color of the Year” incredibly stupid.

But it takes a particularly special brand of stupid to then get offended over such an absurd concept.

And, well, you’re not going to find a more special brand of stupid than when dealing with the terminally offended far-left.

Cosmetic conglomerate Pantone unveiled its annual “Color of the Year” for 2026 recently — believe it or not — and next year’s top color was deemed “Cloud Dancer.”

To this inartistic writer, it just looks like a slightly muddled shade of white. And that’s about where I’d stop thinking about something so frivolous.

Oh, but not the far left.

As the U.K. Daily Mail reported, “Woke liberals are slamming Pantone’s color of the year, labeling it ‘racist’ and ‘tone-deaf.’”

(Of course they’re melting down. Isn’t it just exhausting?)

One Instagram critique claimed that this color choice “unintentionally aligns with cultural and political symbolism that many of us find deeply troubling.”

Others dredged up actress Sydney Sweeney, who was involved in her own ridiculous controversy over some jean ads.

There’s just no other way to say this: These people need lives. They need to touch grass. They need to go experience what the real world is like.

Because let me tell you, people dealing with real issues — health, finances, work — don’t have the time or care to get riled up over something as benign as a makeup company’s favorite color.

This whole meltdown is even dumber when you realize a few key facts.

First, and pretty importantly, those accusing Pantone of being racist are tacitly accusing a black woman of running a racist company.

Sky Kelley, the president of Pantone, is a black woman. It seems aggressively unlikely that anti-black racism was somehow at the forefront of her thought, if she signed off on the color choice in the first place.

As mentioned above, Kelley has real issues — like running a massive corporation — to worry about, instead of perceived racial slights.

Second, guess what Pantone’s color of the year was for 2025? “Mocha Mousse,” a decidedly shiny shade of brown.

Notice how white conservatives didn’t start crying “MUH RACISM” after that one.

Outrageous: Drexel Medical School Enshrines CRT and ‘Antiracism’ As Part of Doctors Duty

In the latest outrageous virtue signaling in academia, Campus Reform is reporting Drexel University’s College of Medicine is pushing an ‘Antiracism in Healthcare’ module for medical students that a conservative organization accuses of “prioritizing ideological indoctrination over scientific inquiry.”

Medicine was never meant to be a place for social experiments and virtue signaling.

According to Campus Reform, “The module, which appears on the college’s website, promises to teach students to ‘explain how structural, cultural, and individual racism have shaped our common history and have led to vast societal disparities in education, policing, wealth and healthcare, and to “commit to being antiracist in your attitudes and behaviors.’”

This seems to bear little relevance to actually practicing medicine, a field where any sort of politics or ideology should not play a role.

One section of this module even makes the outlandish claim that “structural racism accounts for health disparities.”

In other words, now people getting sick is also a result of racism according to Left-wing ideology.

“Perhaps the great majority of healthcare providers would deny that they are racist or let biases influence their patient care,” the module says.

“Yet there are great disparities in healthcare and health outcomes between racial groups. Certainly, structural racism accounts for many of these disparities.”

Another section of this module is focused on the canon of woke ideology, CRT, or critical race theory.

According to this absurd theory, race is a social construct and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice but has become structural.”

“Do No Harm, a conservative nonprofit organization that advocates for removing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from medicine, criticized the Drexel module for valuing an identity-based ideology over science.”

Ending the Woke Monopoly: White House Takes Aim at Higher Ed’s Ideological Capture

Last week, the White House convened an education roundtable with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon titled, “Biased Professors, Woke Administrators, and the End of Free Inquiry on U.S. Campuses.”

Secretary McMahon opened the event by stating, “It was an honor to be at the White House today with this dedicated coalition of students, faculty, institutional leaders, and policy advocates to highlight the issue of woke ideology and the capture of our institutions of higher education. DEI policies have turned universities from free marketplaces of ideas to purveyors of manufactured ideological conformity, chilling free speech and undermining academic rigor.”

She explained, “We are committed to working with higher education leaders to reverse course from these decades of decline.”

The Secretary highlighted actions taken by the Trump Administration, including dissolving DEI programs, enforcing merit-based practices, and guiding universities to comply with federal law, noting that over 400 institutions have made substantive changes. The U.S. Department of Education is working to incentivize universities to operate with fairness, academic rigor, and civil discourse.

Men who correct women over any disagreement could face disciplinary action under new Green party rules

Men who correct women over any disagreement could be hauled before disciplinarians under plans being weighed up by the Green Party.

Leaders are considering broadening the party’s definition of misogyny to the point that ‘any disagreement’ could lead to men facing sanction.

The proposals are set out in a leaked 53-page dossier on legal and reputational risk prepared by its own lawyers.

The report reveals deep internal concern about the Greens’ approach to misogyny, transgender policy and LGBT rights, warning that current guidance could expose the party to serious legal and financial risk. 

It says the Green Party Council was ‘very close’ to adopting a document titled Guidance on Identifying Misogyny and Sexism as part of its ethics framework. 

According to the report, seen by the Telegraph, the draft guidance listed ‘being corrected’ as an example of misogynistic behaviour experienced by women, a definition the lawyers warned was so expansive it could ‘justify any disagreement between a man and a woman as a sanctionable disciplinary offence’. 

The dossier also cautions that internal rules on identifying transphobia and ‘queerphobia’ risk unlawfully discriminating against members who question contested gender theory. 

The authors stress that the party cannot legally penalise members for holding gender-critical views, which are protected under the Equality Act 2010. 

The warning follows a costly legal defeat for the Greens last year, when the party paid £9,100 to former spokesman and deputy leader Dr Shahrar Ali after a court ruled he had been improperly dismissed over his belief that ‘biology is real and immutable’. 

The report says the process used to remove him was ‘procedurally unfair’.

Dr Ali is now suing the party for a second time, alleging ‘procedural abuse’ and continued discrimination over his views on biological sex. 

The Greens have since admitted to ‘procedural shortfalls’ in his dismissal.

British Soccer Star Joey Barton Given Six Months Suspended Prison Sentence For ‘Grossly Offensive’ Posts on X

Former British soccer star Joey Barton has been given a six-month suspended sentence for making “grossly offensive” posts on the X platform.

In the latest escalation in the British state’s war on freedom of expression, 43-year-old Barton was found guilty last month at Liverpool Crown Court of six counts of sending a grossly offensive electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety.

The conviction related to posts he made targeting the football pundits Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko, as well as the BBC broadcaster Jeremy Vine.

Sentencing Barton on Monday, Judge Andrew Menary KC said that “robust debate, satire, mockery and even crude language may fall within permissible free speech.”

”But when posts deliberately target individuals with vilifying comparisons to serial killers or false insinuations of paedophilia, designed to humiliate and distress, they forfeit their protection.”

Menary went on to describe Barton as “not a man of previous good character” and said he had carried out “a sustained campaign of online abuse that was not mere commentary but targeted, extreme and deliberately harmful.”

While Barton’s comments could definitely be condemned as extremely unkind, most were intended as jokes or crass humor.

During an FA Cup tie in which Ward and Aluko were commentating, Barton described them as the “Fred and Rose West of football commentary,” a reference to the notorious British serial killers.

In another post, he mocked Jeremy Vine as a “bike nonce” and asked if he had visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.

Left-Wing Vermont School District Raises Somali Flag Next to American Flag

A woke Vermont school district hoisted a Somali flag on Friday, as Democrats around the country defend Somali migrants amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown and a growing fraud scandal in Minnesota’s Somali community. 

“We are raising the Somali flag this week in honor of our Somali youth and families in Winooski and Vermont,” the Winooski School District posted to Facebook. “On Monday, we will be gathering to celebrate together and to learn more about our civil rights.”

The Winooski School District told OutKick the Somali flag was raised on one of its three flagpoles. The American flag is on the highest mast, in accordance with the United States Flag Code, and the Vermont state flag is on the second mast, the district said. The Somali flag was raised on the third mast, which the district said is “for affinity groups.”

The school district’s website was unavailable as of 2:00 p.m. on Monday. The district instead put up a temporary page saying its website is “currently removed from public view” as the district works to “address and mitigate an unprecedented volume of illegitimate traffic targeting our services.”

The Key To Understanding The Cult Of Globalism’s War On The West

The culture war in the western world is currently hitting a crescendo. At first the media said it was all “conspiracy theory” being amplified by a “fringe minority” of radical right wingers. Then, they admitted the conflict was real but claimed that conservatives were monsters trying to “dismantle democracy”. Today, the culture war has become the dominant issue of our age with the debate echoing through the halls of the White House.

Leftists hoped they could make it all go away by dismissing it. They hoped they could continue with their ideological takeover at their leisure. They failed.  The rebellion in the US is a product of decades of effort by liberty advocates and it is finally bearing fruit.

However, I think many Americans and some Europeans are discovering that movements like progressive wokism (essentially Cultural Marxism) are much more than a mere reaction to the return of conservatives to the cultural space. The fight that’s happening in front of the curtain is only a dim reflection of the fight that’s going on behind the curtain.

Almost every facet of leftist political and social activism is bankrolled by some of the wealthiest organizations and individuals on the planet. In fact, I would argue that without the billions of dollars in global funding provided by NGOs, government entities and corporations, the political left as we know it would not exist and the world would be much quieter.

A prime example is anti-ICE organizations: These groups have access to extensive cash reserves to finance call networks, they pay for hundreds or even thousand of protesters and agitators, they pay for legal representation and bail to get their activist agents out of jail, and they often obtain inside information on ICE operations before those operations occur.

These groups function less like homegrown civil rights efforts and more like clandestine government agencies. And, if you check the tax backgrounds of all of them you will find, without fail, that they’re propped up by NGOs like the Open Society Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, global corporations like Vangaurd and Blackrock, and government bureaucracies like USAID (before it was shut down).

Nothing about these movements is natural, they are purely astroturf. It might look like chaos, but every time you see leftist mobs on the news trying to interfere with ICE arrests and deportations, what you are watching is a highly organized machine flush with globalist cash working to undermine US sovereignty.

Insanity: Loyola University Maryland’s Department of English Claims Literature Promotes “White Supremacy”

In the latest insanity from liberal education, according to The College Fix, “Loyola University Maryland’s Department of English recently announced its commitment to ‘anti-racism,’ claiming literature promotes ‘white supremacy.”

The department of English proclaims on its website, “Literature and the literary canons have been used to validate “white supremacy.”

It’s clear that DEI and Woke ideology remain the dominant ideology at Loyola.

The department is even considering renaming the website.

The department also echoes Woke slogans like “black lives matter,” “racism is based in white supremacy,” and “confronting racism requires that we actively facilitate conversations about it in the classroom.”

This department is biased and has an anti-Western civilization bent in that it views Western and English literature as inherently bad.

The English department even made the absurd promise to “acknowledge the centrality of whiteness in the history and evolution of literary canons.”

The department pledges to “hire a professor of African American literature and include more authors of color in their curriculum. It will examine all classes and commit to “making anti-racist teaching central in each one.”

This sounds more like a struggle session than anything else.

They went even further than that, absurdly saying they would “avoid centering the experiences of white students” in the classroom by “interrogating the presumed invisibility of whiteness in the classroom and the concept of the ‘universal reader’ as always being white and male.”

Loyola University in Maryland was founded by the Jesuits, a Catholic order.

According to The College Fix, “The school’s English department sees that Jesuit mission as a “commitment to serving an urban, majority-Black city with a history of racial injustice.”

Even a Professor at Emory called out this Woke direction the school’s English department is headed in.

Prof. Bauerlein rightly argued, “The position of the Loyola department gives neat evidence for why English has become such a marginal discipline.”

“Widespread Misconduct”: Trump Admin Orders All Beneficiaries Of Nation’s Largest DEI Program To Surrender Financial Records

The Daily Wire has learned that the Small Business Administration has ordered all 4,300 firms in its 8(a) “socially disadvantaged” program, which receive no-bid federal contracts, to turn over their financial records, including general ledgers, bank statements, payroll files, subcontracting agreements, and other internal documents, by January 5 or face removal from the program.

SBA’s crackdown on one of Washington’s oldest DEI initiatives follows mounting evidence that some 8(a) firms have become a major pipeline for fraud, pass-through schemes, and artificially inflated contract costs.

Late last month, Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and the investigative journalist who broke the Clinton Cash corruption story, published a report exposing the cronyism and corruption inside the 8(a) program, where pass-through firms handed bidless contracts on silver platters while quietly outsourcing the real work to major consulting companies.

“For years, DC insiders have exploited a federal DEI contracting program that provides windfalls to Beltway elites. This open secret isn’t about helping the downtrodden; it’s about bagging no-bid paydays. The SBA’s 8(a) program is long overdue for reform,” Schweizer wrote on X.
