Racism Causes Cancer
Cancer is not caused by global warming or homophobia. That leaves racism:
NBC’s medical drama New Amsterdam has been ripped to shreds for a woke episode in which a patient develops a tumor from ‘internalized racism.’
The episode is from 2020, but apparently only liberals watched the show, because it has just now come to light as a fit subject for ridicule.
Tragically, a teen is diagnosed with tumors. A psychiatrist explains why the imaginary oppression of non-Caucasians is to blame:
‘Your son feels threatened on a daily basis, like everything he’s earned can be taken away. He’s disenfranchised,’ the psychiatrist says.
‘But because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he can’t name it, he’s internalizing it.’
When the mother seems confused, the psychiatrist says: ‘Racism – I think your son’s tumor was caused by racism.’
Mainstream entertainment is almost becoming entertaining again — but only if you enjoy laughing at liberals:

Regarding the UNREST test mentioned by the moonbat shrink:
The episode appeared to be referencing an actual questionnaire by the group UNREST, which developed a ‘social resistance framework.’
It ‘suggests that power relations within society may encourage members of non-dominant minority groups to actively engage in acts of everyday resistance, which may include risky and unhealthy behaviors.’
Academia elaborates on how pseudo-oppression is relevant to medicine:
A 2019 study from scientists from the University of Southern California and University of California at Los Angeles also determined that African-Americans had higher levels of inflammatory molecules than their white counterparts.
Presenting the study’s summary:
Researchers have long known that racism is linked to health problems, but now results from a small study using RNA tests show that racism appears to increase chronic inflammation among African Americans.
It isn’t just the tedious rubbish on TV. Everything the liberal establishment tries to feed us is crap.

Another Noose Hoax
Turns out you don’t have to go a few weeks without taking a shower to climb aboard the jackpot justice gravy train. Just tie a noose:
A major Midlands [South Carolina] gun manufacturer is facing accusations of racial discrimination after a Black employee says a noose was left on his work station.
A liberal jury will especially enjoy looting a gun maker. Too bad the disgruntled former employee can’t get the case tried in New York.
Tremell Washington worked as an armorer for the Lexington County-based firearm manufacturer from November 2021 to September 2022. Washington claims several individuals at Palmetto State Armory, including supervisors, used the “n-word” in his presence while he worked there, according to the lawsuit.
That allegation alone could be worth a few $million. But the noose will rope in the big bucks. According to the Afrocentric religion of our moonbat overlords, nooses have only ever been used to oppress sacred blacks. Consequently, they are blasphemous.
On Aug. 30, 2022, Washington said he found an air-hose at his work station tied into a noose. When he brought the noose to the attention of the plant manager, the manager “laughed,” the lawsuit claims.
Some probably had the same reaction when Bubba Wallace whimpered that his garage door pull was a noose — and when Nikki Haley shrilly believed him.
Washington says he found another noose soon afterward. A coworker allegedly snickered that he should wear an “I can’t breathe” shirt — a reference to dubious claims of oppression by crybullies of color.
The racism escalated still further:
Washington said his supervisor “began to intensely criticize and scrutinize” his work…
This unwelcome scrutiny evidently resulted in Washington getting fired.
A cash bonanza isn’t enough. Washington demands that his enemies crawl before him:
He asks for damages, attorney’s fees, reinstatement and a written apology.
It is conceivable if unlikely that mischievous coworkers really did needle Washington with a noose. Even so, the lawsuit would still place him on the Hate Hoax List, because pretending that teasing constitutes oppression constitutes a hoax.

Blacks File Suit After Stinking Up Airplane
Among the many special privileges afforded to those of preferred pigmentation, we may soon add the right to stink up airplanes:
Three Black men filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against American Airlines, claiming they were racially discriminated against when they were allegedly pulled off a plane over a body odor complaint.
Even the plaintiffs are racists. Evidently they associate being black with stinking:
[Plaintiffs Alvin] Jackson and [Emmanuel] Jean-Joseph said they felt singled out for being Black and were humiliated by the episode.
Emotional trauma on this scale warrants lucrative jackpot justice:
Jean-Joseph said the men were made to look like criminals as they walked down the aisle of the plane. He said he has not flown since the incident and that he broke down as he relived it Wednesday, when the lawsuit was filed.
And yet:
All eight men [only three of whom are suing] reboarded the flight about an hour later, after complaining about discrimination and after the airline could not book them on a later flight, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Eastern District of New York.
Let’s hope the other passengers used their time on the tarmac to reflect on their stink-free privilege.
The incident happened in Phoenix not New York. However, as the recent Trump trial has made obvious, the merits of a case are less important than where you bring it.
The plaintiffs are seeking awards of compensatory damages to be determined in a jury trial.
The potentially expensive lesson: let blacks do whatever they want, including stink up airplanes, even if it makes everyone else miserable. Otherwise, you will get looted, I mean sued.

Biscuits and Gravy Are Now Racist and Offensive
Ever since George Floyd took too much fentanyl, the liberal establishment has been shrieking that criminals ought to be allowed to run riot because local police are racists. At last there is proof. From the People’s Republic of New York:
A veteran Westchester County corrections sergeant is under investigation for a “racist and offensive” social media post ridiculing Georgia jail guards, officials told The Post.
Behold the thoughtcrime of Sgt. Michael Bourhill:
NY Sgt. Michael Bourhill is under an active investigation for posting this meme.
He did nothing wrong. #projectmatilda pic.twitter.com/LWulCgZ0rz

Look out, Sergeant. Here come the crybully thugs with their clubs:
A Westchester County black corrections officer group took even more umbrage, calling the post racist.
“The Westchester Correction Association strongly condemns the racist and offensive social media post shared by a Westchester Correction Sergeant,” the group said on Facebook.
This lynch mob has demanded that “immediate steps” be taken against Bourhill. They will of course get their way.
“Posting or reposting inappropriate images is a violation of Westchester County employee policy,” [county communications director Catherine] Cioffi said. “Employees who violate this policy will be subject to formal disciplinary charges.”
As leftists become increasingly desperate to find racism against allegedly oppressed blacks, ever more anodyne terms become forbidden. Punishment is retroactive; just because everyone used to say “biscuits and gravy” doesn’t mean the last person to say it before it was struck from the Newspeak Dictionary won’t get canceled. So how are you supposed to know what speech is permitted?
Here’s a rule of thumb: if you are the sort of guy liberals wouldn’t like, whatever you say is racist and offensive, so don’t say anything. Fade away and stop existing. You are a speed bump on the road to moonbat utopia.

Rule by Racists: Racial Justice Act
Under moonbat rule, everything is rigged to favor blacks at the expense of whites — including fundamental aspects of government like criminal justice. Once again, California leads the way into insanity:
The Racial Justice Act, passed in 2020 without meaningful public review, turns long-standing academic tropes about implicit bias and white privilege into potent legal tools. And the floodgates are about to open. Starting this year, the RJA allows anyone serving time in a California prison or jail for a felony to challenge his conviction and sentencing retroactively on the ground of systemic racial bias.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. The system is biased not in favor of blacks but against them:
The Racial Justice Act operationalizes the proposition that every aspect of the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks. But according to the act’s legislative authors, it’s too hard to prove such bias in the case of individual arrests and prosecutions. Therefore, the act does away with the concept of individual fault and individual proof.
Mark Twain listed three kinds of lies in escalating order of their perniciousness: lies, damned lies, and statistics:
From now on in California, statistics purporting to show a pattern of bias in the past are enough to invalidate a current arrest, criminal charge, or judicial sentence.
Effectively this means that since blacks are more likely to commit crimes, they cannot be punished, because that would have a disparate impact.
Big Government’s thumb is heavy upon the scales of justice:
The California legislature gave the Office of the State Public Defender over $5 million in 2023 to litigate RJA claims. No money was allocated to district attorneys’ offices to defend against those claims.
Blacks are 17 times as likely as whites to be murdered in Los Angeles. That figure will rise as ever more black criminals are unleashed upon their communities, since they are the ones doing the killing. Liberals will happily seize on this as further evidence that blacks are oppressed and deserve even more favoritism.

Democrats May Bank on 21st Century Slavery
The Democrat strategy is to confiscate money from whites and use it to buy votes from nonwhites. Don’t take my word for it. Prominent Democrats are basically stating it out loud:
Reparations activists want President Joe Biden to launch a commission on payouts for slavery-era abuses, saying it would drive the turnout of black voters in the swing states he needs to secure reelection in November.
No one who would be forced to pay the estimated $14 trillion (for now) ever owned a slave. No one who would receive the free money ever was a slave. The purpose is to inflict an updated form of slavery, under which whites create wealth so that the government can bestow it upon blacks in exchange for political support.
Texas congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a reparations stalwart, and others say Biden should bypass Congress and use his executive powers to create a slavery payouts panel to put him over the line against rival Donald Trump.
Democrats don’t seem to have faith that refraining from banning menthol cigarettes (for now) will inspire blacks to turn out and vote.
They point to polling, which shows that in toss-up Michigan, nearly 60 percent of black voters who don’t regularly vote would be more likely to show up for Biden if he created a reparations commission. …
Researchers said a reparations commission could deliver Biden similar numbers of black voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and other 2024 tossups.
However, the degree of self-hatred and suicidal stupidity required for whites to vote for their own enslavement and the bankrupting of their country would be prodigious even by liberal standards. Despite the impression created by the entertainment and advertising industries, blacks comprise only 13% of the population.
Democrats would be wiser to bank on massive election fraud. But low intelligence and lack of impulse control might allow greed to get the better of them.
