Facebook Bans ‘Dangerous’ Conservative Figures but Continues to Allow Leftist Calls for Violence

[...]Even more worryingly, multiple active terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and PFLP have groups operating on Facebook, these also appear to not be considered “dangerous” by Mark Zuckerberg’s company.

Black activism and over-criminalization

The new listings will help address the demographic reality of the groups currently categorized as Black Separatist. In fact, these groups are not made up of only Black individuals. Furthermore, highlighting only these groups’ separatist intentions does not examine their overall impact on marginalized groups within and outside of the Black community.

These groups are very much part of activist spaces. While they should be exposed for their harmful rhetoric and held accountable within the activist spaces they inhabit, the SPLC does not believe criminalizing and over-policing is an acceptable solution. Unfortunately, the FBI has a “Black Identity Extremist” label for monitoring domestic terrorism. This label is unfounded, and is in itself a form of suppressing Black activism and organizing. In March 2018, former FBI agent Michael German gave testimony before the Congressional Black Caucus challenging the listing. German, who was at the time a Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, told the caucus, “What is most troubling about the [Black Identity Extremist] assessment is its potential to incite irrational police fear of black political activists. Irrational fear, unfortunately, too often in the past translated into unnecessary police violence against unarmed and unthreatening black men and women.”

IP hopes by dropping this listing we can lead by example and be able to contribute to a more accurate understanding of violent extremism, one that foregrounds white supremacist extremism as the most dangerous threat to national security.

The Black Separatist listing created a color line bias, separating hate and extremism by race and granting the appearance of a false equivalency of equal hate on both sides. But the hate is not equal. Black separatism was born out of valid anger against very real historical and systemic oppression. Black people in the U.S. have rarely experienced having a power structure that represents them. However, white nationalism has held historical, systemic and institutional power for hundreds of years in this country.

Black separatism is a response to white supremacy and white nationalism; it has not, however, received the same mainstream attention as white nationalism. Nor do Black separatists have the overwhelming share of racially motivated violence attributed to their overall goals of separation. Yes, some Black nationalists have committed violence against Jewish communities, but those are fueled by antisemitism, not separatism. Additionally, Black separatism is rooted in valid concerns about how federal and state institutions treat Black people.

Even as white supremacist violence is named as a national threat, law enforcement instead disproportionately polices and surveils Black and indigenous activists, along with other activists of color.

Wanting separation from a society that has historically and systemically oppressed Black communities isn’t extremism. Black dissent isn’t black violence, and equivocating the two enables this over-policing of Black activism.[Source: SPLCenter]

An Anti-White Professor Finally Faces Consequences—But Is It Enough?

Violence by Anti-Racists is justified

Lost in the media maelstrom surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation last week was a surprising story from Georgetown University.

Early last week, Georgetown professor Christine Fair tweeted that she hoped white male Republicans were murdered and castrated. This incendiary remark prompted no immediate consequences outside of conservative outrage. Fair’s university issued a statement in support of her and Twitter let her stay on the platform and keep her verification badge.

Later on in the week, things changed. First, she was briefly suspended from Twitter and permanently lost her verification. Then on Friday Georgetown announced it had put Dr. Fair on leave. [Georgetown professor who wished death to GOP senators supporting Kavanaugh on leave, by Caleb Parke, Fox News, October 6, 2018]

“We can and do strongly condemn the use of violent imagery, profanity, and insensitive labeling of individuals based on gender, ethnicity or political affiliation in any form of discourse,” Joel Hellman, dean of the School of Foreign Services, said in his statement on Fair’s departure.

This isn’t a major victory by any stretch of the imagination. If Fair had said this about any minority group, Georgetown would have launched a crusade to remove her from the university and she may even have had charges pressed against her. Fair would have also lost her Twitter account for good—no doubt about it.

But since it was hate against white men, she was only put on leave and had her verification taken away. This is still progress, believe it or not. Several professors have gotten away with similar rhetoric with zero consequences from their employers.

A notable case is that of Fresno State professor Randa Jarrar. [Email her] Dr. Jarrar celebrated and mocked the death of former First Lady Barbara Bush when she passed away in April.

Naturally, fury followed in the wake of Jarrar’s statements and numerous other anti-white statements by Jarrar were uncovered.

Fresno State launched a brief investigation into her comments, which drew outrage from respectable conservatives who saw this mild action as an assault on free speech.

In the end, Jarrar faced no consequences for her actions and she continues to spew vile anti-white racism at her university. [Fresno State Will Not Punish Bush-Bashing Professor Randa Jarrar, by Tom Ciccotta, Breitbart News, April 25, 2018]

For Fair, at least her university and Twitter punished her—albeit mildly. Very few respectable conservatives defended her employment and right to stay on Twitter. As said previously, this is progress.

There is a foolish notion on the Right that conservatives must defend to the death the right of left-wing professors to spout craziness with impunity. The theory goes that if we defend their free speech, then the Left will be so taken back that they will respect conservative academics sharing their views…

That’s something that will never happen in a million years.

Conservatives need to wise up and demand severe consequences for people like Christine Fair. There are hundreds of professors like her around the country poisoning young minds on a daily basis. Getting them fired is far more important than standing up for principles the Left doesn’t respect.

Sam Dickson’s Statement To Charlottesville Inquiry: “The Police Were Acting Under Orders. WHO GAVE THOSE ORDERS?”

Update: see Charlottesville Narrative Collapse: Heaphy Confirms Sam Dickson–Police Told “Let Them Fight It Out”

VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow writes: VDARE.com was not involved at all in the August 12 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA (although in the resulting SJW pogrom we lost a conference and our PayPal account anyway) but we have said that we regard the subsequent Main Stream Media Narrative as the greatest elite inversion of reality since Americans were persuaded to believe that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and we have chronicled its subsequent collapse with care.

A Virginia state review has already suggested that incompetence in the Charlottesville Police Departmentallowed the situation to get out of hand i.e. the Antifa to attack the Alt Right [Review says police were uncertain of 'rules of engagement' as violence grew in Charlottesville,by Ned Oliver, Richmond Times-Dispatch, November 15, 2017]. (Pictured right, Charlottesville Police Chief Al S. Thomas Jr.) The City of Charlottesville’s review, conducted by former federal prosecutor Timothy Heaphy, is reportedly to be released before the city council meeting on December 4. Attorney Sam Dickson, whose Unequal Justice: Martha Stewart Jailed For Lying To Police—But Ferguson “Witnesses” Not Prosecuted we published in 2015, decide to submit a statement to Heaphy. He reports that it was acknowledged but that he was not interviewed. VDARE.com has added links.

As with the concurrent J20 trial, what is at stake here is whether America’s Totalitarian Left is to control the streets as completely as it now controls academe.

Submitted to Timothy Heaphy, Attorney at Law, Conducting an ''independent review” on behalf of the City of Charlottesville [...]

I have seen the Antifa in action before in November 2016, when I observed masked Antifa activists perpetrating criminal attacks upon two separate gatherings in Washington, D.C. These attacks included throwing what the Antifa calls on its websites ''Poopootov Cocktails''(bottles filled with feces and urine) and also an assault on a couple in which six masked thugs beat the man bloody and others sprayed his girl friend with Raid. The precautions on Raid cannisters state that if the pesticide gets into someone's eyes, it can cause them to go blind.

The Antifa are not funny. They are not amusing. They are a criminal organization as can be seen in what they themselves place on their websites. The Antifa has been identified as a terrorist enterprise by New Jersey Homeland Security. [See Exhibit ''A'', attached. (PDF)] [...]

I know from my law practice that standard proper police procedure in such situations is to separate hostile crowds.

This was not done by the Charlottesville police and the Virginia State Troopers.

Instead, they insisted upon placing us in close proximity to the Antifa, an organization that, as an elementary google search would have shown, brags online about its violent assaults on American citizens with whose views the Antifa disagrees. [See Exhibit ''B''attachments copied from the Antifa's ''internet store.'(PDF)]

I also noted that the Antifa activists into whose presence we were obliged to leave the shuttle bus were wearing masks in blatant violation of the anti- mask law.

The Antifa selIs masks and offers advice to its members on its websites on how to conceal their identity when they assault those with whom they disagree.

The police authorities were standing to one side and made no attempt to require the Antifa to remove their masks.

18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exceptions.

It shall be unlawful for any person over 16 years of age to, with the intent to conceal his identity, wear any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing. [More, Code Of Virginia]

This was my third indication that the City of Charlottesville and the State of Virginia were withholding the protection of the law from usand were condoning violence against us.

I then began making my way to the rally with the other people who had been on the shuttle van.

All around us were Antifa. They were in a state of hysteria. Despite their masks one could catch glimpses their twisted, hate-distorted faces behind the masks.

The Antifa were trying to provoke us to violence. They jostled us, got right in our faces, tagged along at our sides yelling and screaming. They said things like, ''Come on, Nazi! Don't you want to fight? Are you yellow, Nazi? You're a coward, Nazi! Not gonna fight, sissy?'' [Read all at Sam Dickson’s Statement To Charlottesville Inquiry: “The Police Were Acting Under Orders.

Asian grooming gang's rape of white girls not racist, rules judge

The Attorney General is to review the jail sentences of an Asian grooming gang after a judge ruled the exploitation of white girls was not racially motivated.

The judge’s decision meant stiffer penalties for racially aggravated crimes could not be applied in the case of the Newcastle-based sex ring.

Judge Penny Moreland said the gang picked out their victims “not because of their race, but because they were young, impressionable, naive and vulnerable”.

Prosecutor John Elvidge told Newcastle Crown Court the victims were “white, British and female” and the defendants were “of Asian extraction” but insisted there was no direct evidence race had played a part in the gang’s process for selecting the girls.

Remember: Blacks (and minorities) can never be racist. Even in "beat whitie night" at Iowa state fair. The police who mentioned the racial aspect was dismissed and now is a realtor (Lorie Lavorato (?))

Mike Penning, a Conservative MP and former justice minister, said: “I have asked the Attorney General to look into this case. This looks racially motivated based on the evidence.

“I don’t understand the judge’s ruling that this cannot be racially motivated.”

In a previous case, linked to the gang, one member expressed his contempt for white women when he was challenged by a ticket inspector on the Tyne and Wear Metro. Badrul Hussain, 37, who was convicted of drug offences but cleared of inciting prostitution, told her: “All white women are good for one thing, for men like me to f*** and use as trash, that is all women like you are worth.”

The case has clear similarities with sex grooming scandals involving predominantly Asian men abusing white females in towns including Rotherham and Rochdale.

We report about some of these cities in

The latest court case led to the forced resignation of Sarah Champion, the Labour MP for Rotherham as the party’s shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, after wrote an article in The Sun newspaper warning that more must be done to stop gangs of Pakistani men targeting young girls for sex.

Ms Champion apologised for her “extremely poor choice of words” after saying the UK has a “problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”.

The Crown Prosecution Service said in court that although the six victims who gave evidence in the Newcastle hearings were all white, there was no evidence the gang was “racially motivated”.

Mr Elvidge told the court: “The ethnicity of all potential targets is not known.” He added that at one party a victim “was black” and at another a woman who attended was of Asian origin. Neither victim wished to give evidence.

On Cynicism and Faith

Anti-racism is a fully developed faith that holds whites are irrevocably damned because of “privilege,” regardless of their beliefs or actions. Smiling, wearing a MAGA hat, or failing to shuffle out of the way of a person of color is sin, a failure by whites to atone for their blood guilt. Thus, even Trump supporters who sincerely believe they are not racist are regularly accused of racism. “[MAGA enthusiasts] see the history of the world as a competition for dominance, with white people as the rightful, if unrecognized, winners,” writes Douglas Rushkoff in CNN in a piece supposedly intended to explain entrenched opinions. “They see young men righteously, if a little indignantly, defending their race and civilization against leftist social warriors and the forces of political correctness.”

Though this is pure projection, the eagerness to read mythic significance into racial confrontations explains a great deal of contemporary American culture. The murder of a black youngster Jazmine Barnes was a media sensation when a white man was the suspect; after a black man was arrested, it became insignificant. The deaths of illegal immigrants trying to break into Europe or America are exploited to promote open borders; the deaths of Westerners at the hands of illegals have no larger meaning. Even petty incidents, like posting a politically incorrect flyer, can spark hysteria at colleges or in entire communities.

The late Lawrence Auster noted that crimes against whites by non-whites, even those of incredible savagery, are called “random.” In contrast, if a non-white is harmed or even takes offense because of something a white person does, it becomes an event of enormous moral importance. One unguarded word in a private conversation can become national news, the subject of viral tweets, and fodder for opinion pieces.

For this reason, people like Mr. Phillips are eager to invent “racist” incidents so they too can participate in the cosmic drama between Good and Evil. This is also why there are so many hate crime hoaxes. Journalists are desperate to find white evildoers so they can write something besides wearying accounts of black and brown crime. Tom Wolfe satirized the search for the “Great White Defendant” in The Bonfire Of The Vanities, and nothing has changed since.

Hoaxes and false accusations are undoubtedly driven by the desire to feel important or be a hero. Some people may just want to be petted and fussed over. Others may truly believe that lies in the service of a greater good are justified. They may have even deluded themselves into thinking they are telling the truth. Actions driven by faith sometimes walk a fine line between cynicism and idealism.

Hapless whites who concede the moral high ground will always be victimized. Whites alone practice “pathological altruism” and many whites, especially “elders,” don’t seem to understand that moral claims are psychological weapons. Every action of Mr. Phillips suggests that he deliberately sought to become a “victim” of racism. The media also deliberately promoted his claims. Whether they acted for materialistic reasons or twisted “idealistic” reasons, or both, is irrelevant. The truth doesn’t matter.

In general, however, the reason we're not getting good reporting on race is because for years we've been firing people from media jobs if they said anything useful or interesting about race.

Study: Nearly 100 Hollywood Celebs Smeared Brett Kavanaugh But Won’t Condemn Joe Biden

A new study has identified nearly 100 Hollywood figures who smeared Brett Kavanaugh but who have either remained silent on or have defended Joe Biden, who has been accused by Tara Reade of sexually assaulting her nearly three decades ago.

In some cases, #MeToo celebrities have actively sought to discredit Reade by implying that she is a liar or a Russian asset.

The industry hypocrisy is catalogued in a new Newsbusters study that singles out stars including Alyssa Milano, Debra Messing, Jimmy Kimmel, and Patricia Arquette. In all, the study identified 95 entertainment industry figures who appear to have a double standard when it comes to the #MeToo movement.

The study also highlights Time’s Up advocates including Jessica Chastain, Brie Larson, Natalie Portman, and Julianne Moore who have not publicly commented on the allegations against Biden. But these A-list actresses voiced support for Christine Blasey Ford and her accusations against Kavanaugh.

“Biden hasn’t been held to the same, or any real standard by his friends in Hollywood. It’s clear #MeToo has become a political weapon, not a moral awakening, as these virtue-signalling hypocrites sold it,” the study concludes.

Newsbusters found some Hollywood #MeToo figures who have tried to discredit Tara Reade.
