PRAGER: 5 Arguments Against ‘America Is A Racist Country’ | The Daily Wire
"...I have found every argument that America is racist, let alone “systemically” racist, wanting.

• For example, the police almost never kill unarmed blacks, and on the rare occasions they do (about 15 times a year), there is almost always a valid reason (as in the infamous 2014 case in Ferguson, Missouri); police kill more unarmed whites than blacks; the reason there are proportionately so many more blacks in prison is that blacks disproportionately commit violent crimes; and so on.

There are very powerful arguments against the charge that America is a racist society.
I offered one in my column last week:
No. 1: If there is so much racism in America, why are there so many false claims of racism and outright race hoaxes? I offered 15 recent examples. Moreover, there were probably no racist hoaxes when America really was racist, just as there were no anti-Semitic hoaxes in 1930s Germany, when there was rampant anti-Semitism. You need hoaxes when the real thing is hard to find.
No. 3: The reliance on lies...Read all!

Connecticut: Coronavirus testing flaw causing false positives - Washington Times:

Scientists at Connecticut’s public health laboratory say they’ve discovered a flaw in a manufacturer’s testing system for the coronavirus that’s used by labs around the country. So far, it’s resulted in 90 people - mostly residents of Connecticut nursing homes and assisted living facilities - recently receiving false positive tests.
State public health officials are now reviewing whether nursing home residents who received false positive tests were grouped with other residents with accurate positive tests, given the state’s recommendation to cohort nursing home residents who test positive for COVID-19.

‘Starting To Unravel’: Trump Chief Of Staff Expects Indictments From Durham Probe | The Daily Caller:

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Sunday he expects indictments to be handed down from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
“You’re going to see a couple of other documents come out in the coming days that will suggest that not only was the [Trump] campaign spied on, but the FBI did not act appropriately as they were investigating,” Meadows also said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The racial equity glossary – STU BYKOFSKY

"You can’t have a discussion without a common language.To facilitate discussion, here is a glossary of “racial equity” terms, drawn from a variety of sources. The definitions are shaped more by progressive politics than by linguistics. The language is sometimes turgid because it is rooted in academia, not known for brevity nor clarity...

Ally: A member of a privileged social group (race, gender, class, citizenship) who works for justice and equity with members of social groups with less privilege. The social group you work with can call you an ally, but it is bad form for you to claim it for yourself.

Anti-racism: Actively opposing institutional or structural racism by advancing changes in political, economic, and social policies.

Cultural competence: Used most often in the context of healthcare and education, it is defined as organizational practices that are responsive to the cultural beliefs, language, interpersonal styles, etc., of those receiving services as well as those providing them.

Diversity: A multiplicity of races, ages, countries of origin, educational status, religious, physical or cognitive abilities, documentation status, etc., within a community, organization or grouping of some kind.

Politician Calls Out Media For Not Reporting Just A Few COVID Patients Hospitalized In His County – Michigan Capitol Confidential
"A Jackson County Commissioner is calling out the media for not reporting the number of people in hospitals with COVID-19.
In a July 16 Facebook post, Commissioner Corey Kennedy wrote, “COVID-19 update for Jackson County as of Thursday 7/16/20 at 5PM that you won’t read in MLive or hear on the news:
There are currently 2 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in all of Jackson County. 
That’s the part the press leaves out of almost all of their reports.
There’s over 160,000 people here in Jackson county and as of today 31 have died from it since it all began several months ago.”
“Hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 are what are most important to track yet most media outlets fail to do that or break it down statistically,” Kennedy posted.
...MLive posted a July 15 story with the headline: "Jackson County sees 61 new cases of coronavirus halfway through July" that didn't post the number of hospitalized coronavirus patients...

Illegal Immigration's Drain on U.S. Hospitals Spikes in Recent Months

Illegal Immigration's Drain on U.S. Hospitals Spikes in Recent Months:

While President Trump’s border controls have massively reduced illegal immigration’s strain on American hospitals, there has been a surge in recent months as many southern border communities experience an uptick in Chinese coronavirus cases.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Breitbart News reveals a more than 91 percent drop in the number of border crossers taken to American hospitals by federal immigration officials compared to daily averages from last year.

Innocuous Names Shield Groups From Criticism | Intellectual Takeout

Innocuous Names Shield Groups From Criticism | Intellectual Takeout
"During a recent conversation, a friend of mine hit upon something which, while instinctively knowing it, I had never heard verbalized.
To paraphrase his observation, “All the progressive groups intentionally pick a name you can’t argue against without being labeled a bad person.”
In essence, a basic pre-requisite for a successful progressive organization seems to be a cleverly-worded name that appears harmless, regardless of its actual goals. 
The more innocuous the phrase, the more you are shielded from criticism, justified or not.
Here are a few examples of groups with more radical agendas who hide behind names which, on the surface, you couldn’t possibly disagree with.

• Black Lives Matter

Likely the group most relevant to America’s current political scene, Black Lives Matter is a slogan that very few would disagree with. 
Even attempting to make a nuanced point about the organization’s goals will see you denounced as a racist.
That’s precisely the point...

• Everytown for Gun Safety...

...Hiding behind innocuous names may serve these groups’ rhetoric for print and digital media, but any close examination of their goals and actions quickly reveals their purposes are far more out of step with the politics of most Americans than their names would suggest.
