Race-Based Sentencing in Hennepin County

If a judicial power grab flies, the State of Washington will soon have de facto race-based “justice.” This will be the explicit state of affairs several states away in the birthplace of the Cult of George Floyd.

KARE 11 reports from Minneapolis:

Starting Monday, prosecutors in Hennepin County will be required to consider race when offering plea deals, according to a new policy from County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

This violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, but that only matters if judges say it matters.

The justification, according to Moriarty’s office:

“Racial disparities harm our community, lead to distrust, and have a negative impact on community safety. Prosecutors should be identifying and addressing racial disparities at decision points, as appropriate.”

Racial disparities occur because some racial groups are vastly more likely to commit crimes than others. The liberal solution is to unleash Criminals of Color on the communities they prey upon.

A Hennepin County Attorney’s Office spokesmoonbat confirms that the objective is to inflict racial “equity.” This implies that if blacks are 10 times more likely to commit a crime, they should receive one tenth the punishment.

Race-Based Wealth Redistribution in Evergreen State

Under classical Marxism, the property of class enemies is redistributed to the favored class. Under cultural Marxism, the property of racial enemies is redistributed to the favored race. The State of Washington provides an intolerable example:

To translate out of the Liberalese, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is saying that blacks get their houses heavily subsidized by others on a coercive basis because they are lucky enough to be born oppressed.

The Center Square reported on this before it was signed into law:

Second Substitute House Bill 1696, which would dramatically expand the pool of those who could qualify for the state’s Covenant Home Ownership Program…

Launched on July 1, 2024, the program allows qualified homebuyers to apply through their lenders for zero-interest loans to help fund down payments and closing costs. …

SSHB 1996 would increase the income threshold for applicants to 140% of the area median income and allow for loans to be fully forgiven after five years of repayment.

Sweet deal, for those with the right skin color.

Republicans tried to attach an amendment that would at least exclude those convicted of sex crimes. Democrats shot it down.

Let’s see how much gratitude taxpayers get for the money:

It will never be enough. On the contrary, the more they are given, the more they will demand.

Why You Must Never Say “Good Morning”

Good Morning, Moonbattery readers! Wait, strike that. Saying “Good Morning” has been revealed as racist:

By equating oppressed status with self-worth, the white masters of the Democrat plantation have this woman eating out of their hand.

Imagine going through life even half-believing in her outlook. No wonder woke blacks are unassimilable.

What Now Passes for a Princeton Professor

As an Ivy League institution, Princeton’s most valuable asset is the reputation for excellence it developed over centuries. This is what allows it to charge $90,718 per year for undergraduates to attend. But now that reputation lies in ruin. DEI has inflicted such devastation that Eddie Glaude passes for a Princeton professor.

Bear in mind that this is not a cognitively impaired 13-year-old who just discovered wokeism but an Ivy League professor:

Trump is a “felon” because he was found guilty of 34 felony counts of nothing in particular by a hyperpolitical kangaroo court in New York. Quoth the nutty professor:

“We chose a felon because we didn’t want to elect a black woman.”

He says we would rather destroy our own country rather than let a black woman become president — presumably because Americans hate every single black woman out of sheer nastiness.

Kamala Harris must have some qualification to be president other than the Woman of Color status she exploited to climb as high as she did despite her conspicuous incompetence and intensely unappealing personality. Any day now, Professor Glaude’s research may uncover what that qualification might be.

It is unsurprising that Glaude would promote the preposterous lie that it is a disadvantage to be black in the Land of Affirmative Action. Admitting that no white guy of his intellectual caliber would be hired as a professor would damage his prodigious ego. But to truly believe the balderdash spewing out of his own mouth, he would have to be not merely mediocre but a moron.

Glaude’s erudition allows him to understand other people’s motivations, but it does not extend to knowing what the word “literally” means. Evidently because Trump has been deporting illegal alien gangbangers, he proclaims that Americans have chosen “to literally throw the republic into the trash bin.”

Credit where it’s due: the nerve of a Democrat accusing Trump of grift in the aftermath of the Biden Administration and the DOGE revelations is almost awe-inspiring.

Stick a fork in the Ivy League. Like the liberal media, it has chosen what Eddie Glaude personifies over any claim to our respect.

The Show Must Go On Unless…

In the performing arts, the show must go on — unless of course those in charge can’t find enough persons of a certain pigmentation.

From Maine’s Bangor Daily News:

After being told that it cannot make changes to the licensed script for a musical it plans to stage next week, The Grand theater in Ellsworth is making a last-ditch effort to add Black actors to the cast.

If it cannot find Black actors to play minor roles of two slaves in the musical, it will have to cancel the production, the opening of which has been delayed for a week, a theater official said.

It isn’t easy to find blacks in rural Maine, where the American population has not yet been displaced by welfare colonists from the Third World — although that process is well underway in Lewiston.

I’ve got an idea. Have white actors in blackface play the bit parts. Maybe Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon would like to visit Maine and volunteer. No?

Free Admission for Blacks at Utah Nature Center

A bedrock principle of liberal ideology is that American blacks are oppressed. For an example of how oppressed they are in real life, consider that in Ogden, Utah — far from the woke fever swamps of California and New York — their privileged pigmentation gets them perks like free admission:

The Ogden Nature Center is where folks in Utah like to go birdwatching. Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for kids. But if you are black you can visit the nature center free of charge.

Social engineers must have determined that utopia will require more black birdwatchers — hence Black Birders Week. Evidently there are already enough birdwatchers of the Hispanic, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander persuasions, so these groups have to pay admission.

As for white birdwatchers, there are too many whites in general, according to prevailing doctrine, so they can count themselves lucky they don’t have to pay double.

However, there might be a workaround if you self-identify as a black person.

If you can self-identify as a member of the opposite sex, certainly you should be able to claim membership in any race you please — unless of course the whole ideology is baloney, as some have come to suspect.

Persons of Color Exempted From Vaccine Mandate

The many advantages of racial privilege include exemption from vaccine mandates. From 2020:

“Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events,” explains Cornell Health’s vaccine requirement FAQ.

So they could request a racial exemption.

As always where moonbattery prevails, favored groups get special treatment on the patently absurd grounds that they are oppressed. Drones Ivy League Cornell:

We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to [COVID-19 testing and flu vaccine] requirements.

Caucasians have had concerns too. But their concerns don’t matter, because they are “oppressors” according to woke dogma.

Considering the questions surrounding the Covid jab and the likelihood of another pandemic being in the works, a policy like Cornell’s — if rigorously implemented — might one day allow liberals to achieve their dream of a world without white people.

Vintage Moonbattery: Bodycams Are Racist

High on their own supply, moonbats once liked the idea of forcing police to wear bodycams, so that the media could run with video evidence of racist oppression. But as usual, reality failed to conform to liberal ideology, forcing a change of position. Check out this 2017 headline from Newsweek:

Police Body Cameras Can Threaten Civil Rights of Black and Brown People, New Report Says

Anyone tempted to ask, “What about the civil rights of white people?” is a racist who needs to report to the mainstream media for reeducation.
