Council of Conservative Citizens To Boycott "Thor" Over Casting of Black Actor
Norse mythology gets multi-cultural remake in upcoming movie titled “Thor,” Marvel Studios. It’s not enough that Marvel attacks Conservatives values, now mythological Gods must be re-invented with black skin. It seems that Marvel Studios believes that White People should have nothing that is unique to themselves. An upcoming movie, based on the comic book Thor, will give the Aesir an insulting multi-cultural make-over. One of the Gods will be played by Hip Hop DJ Elba. It's wel...

Racist CCCs Comic Book Complaint: The Gods Must be Crazy
The white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) is calling for a Boycott of the upcoming movie “Thor,” based on the Marvel comic book story and directed by Kenneth Branagh. One would think that a film fantasy about a Nordic god (played by blond, blue-eyed Australian actor Chris Hemsworth) performing heroic acts would have a Racist group like the CCC squealing with delight. Not so. The CCC is upset about the casting of British actor Idris Elba, who is black, as Heimdall, the al...

Zaki Hasan: Thor Is Unfair to White People? Seriously?
So, last week I saw the trailer for the upcoming Thor feature film and thought it looked pretty darn solid. Not everyone agreed, though. And while some have voiced issues with the perceived fealty to the comic books, or the relative merits of the trailer itself, there's one cadre of troglodytic malcontents that's registered its displeasure for more... uh, colorful reasons. Specifically, their hackles are up because the character of Heimdall, one of the many God-folk who populate the comic book...

By Asgard's Hammer! Far-righty whities mighty uptighty about black actor playing Norse God Hey, fellow white guys -- don't these characters make you feel proud? After all, that's what they're supposedly about -- "White Pride": A US white supremacist group has called for a Boycott of the Kenneth Branagh-directed superhero movie Thor on the grounds that a black actor has been cast in the role of a Norse god. The Council of Conservative Citizens is upset that London-born Idris Elba, star of Th...

White Supremacists To Boycott Thor Over Black Actor Playing "White" God
Privacy: We will never share your Email Address. Have you seen, heard or read something interesting lately? A white nationalist group called the Council of Conservative Citizens will Boycott the forthcoming cinematic adaptation of longstanding Marvel Comic hero Thor because the black, English actor Idris Elba (The Big C) is playing the Norse God, Heimdall. The CoCC, which supports a large variety of conservative and paleoconservative causes including white separatism, says in a Press Release, "I...

Thor Losers: ‘Christian’ Group Aghast At Idris Elba’s Godliness
Verily, these be dire times for the brave souls at the Council of Conservative Citizens: not only is Marvel Comics once again publishing a comic book starring an African character, but at least one member of the overall ensemble cast in the upcoming Thor movie adaptation will be - gasp! - black! You can almost hear the call ring out: Idris Elba as Heimdall? Forsooth! THEY TOOK OUR GODS! Robblerobblerobble … Mind you, this is par for the course for the CCC, which, as Comics Alli...

Anti-Anti-Racism.
Political correctness and people who call things Racist are the greatest threats to free Speech, says Andrew Breitbart in this video from Reason (zoom ahead to 1:35): This is a nearly pure expression of conservative anti-anti-racism, or the idea that accusations of Racism (against White People) are far more harmful than actual incidents of Bigotry against Minorities (with the collorary that Minorities are guilty of tremendous Racism against White People). Smearing Shirley Sherrod is perfectly ok...

The Wolves Who Cry Boy
The Reverends Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jim Wallis, Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger insist Racism is alive and well in America. And they are right. All they need do is look in their respective mirrors to see some of its most active proponents. Racism certainly still exists among some whites in the U.S. But anyone who thinks seriously -- and honestly -- about the issue also knows those people are a dying breed. They never will die out completely, of course. Humans, contrary to libera...

Democracies Urged to Vote Against U.N. Plan to Hold Racism Event in NYC
Friday, December 17, 2010 By Patrick Goodenough Israel and Italy were among 10 Western countries boycotting the Durban II Racism conference in Geneva. (AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) - The United Nations General Assembly will vote Monday on whether to hold a Controversial anti-racism event in New York next September, when America will mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. The conference planned for September 21 is intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the U.N. Racism co...

Catch of the Day
How about one for Jamelle Bouie, calling out Andrew Breitbart (OK, it's easy pickings, but still): This is a nearly pure expression of conservative anti-anti-racism, or the idea that accusations of Racism (against White People) are far more harmful than actual incidents of Bigotry against Minorities (with the collorary that Minorities are guilty of tremendous Racism against White People). Smearing Shirley Sherrod is perfectly okay, but calling out Breitbart's race-baiting is beyond the pale, an...

Nadia Hijab: The Devil's in the Discourse
Three aspects of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Saban Center Speech on Friday have escaped general notice. First, though she spoke boldly of asking "tough questions and expecting substantive answers" on the core issues of the conflict, the process will not culminate in a "just, lasting and comprehensive peace" as Clinton claimed, but rather a framework agreement. What is a framework agreement? As defined by United States peace Envoy George Mitchell in early September at the short-lived r...

Philadelphia school may enter anti-bias pact
Philadelphia school officials are set to vote on whether to enter a Justice Department pact to address anti-Asian violence at a troubled High School. The city's School Reform Commission is expected to vote on the proposed consent decree Wednesday afternoon. The decree would hold South Philadelphia High School officials responsible for keeping Students safe and addressing racial and ethnic violence. About 22 percent of the student body is Asian, some of them new immigrants. About 30 Asian student...

Louisiana Senate Worker Given Month Suspension For Sending Racist Email Email Said Opposition to Obama Is Not Based on His Skin
Pretty clear to anyone with half-a-brain (guess that excludes the left) she was trying to make a point that people who oppose Obama would still feel the same way even if he was white… (SF Gate)- A Louisiana state Senate employee has been formally reprimanded and suspended for a month without pay because she sent an e-mail message to hundreds of government workers showing President Barack Obama as white. Senate President Joel Chaisson announced the punishment Tuesday for Senate researcher...

No hate-crime charge for police officer
Published: Dec. 15, 2010 at 5:18 PM Seattle, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Two Seattle Police Officers videotaped kicking a suspect, including one who used an anti-Mexican slur, will not be charged, authorities say. The Police Department says it is still conducting an internal investigation into the incident, Seattlepi.com reported. But City Attorney Pete Holmes said he did not believe the officers' conduct rose to the level of a Hate Crime. "Though the incident was marred by an unacceptable and unnecessary...

The Mission
While we can continue to abhor the system of human bondage that flourished in the Old South, there is much we can learn from a more dispassionate examination of the arguments used to defend it. We have sought to distance the slaveholders and their creed, to define them as very unlike ourselves. Yet their processes of rationalization and self-justification were not so very different from our own, or from those of any civilization of human actors. The persistence of modern Racism is but one forcef...

How Do You Deal With Racist Relatives Over The Holidays?
A Feministe reader sparks a helpful discussion in the comments section. Rita's advice: I deal with this as well and I disagree with the “just don’t go” advice. I don’t get to see my family that often and they are VERY important to me, bigoted views or no. The older generation in particular just never learned any better (which I know is not an excuse for hatred, but I’m still not going to hate them back.) I want to see my family and when they are not being Racist/sexist/ge

IS DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO OBAMA ALSO RACIAL? Oh, absolutely. Racist, racist, racist. But I love
IS DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO OBAMA ALSO RACIAL? Oh, absolutely. Racist, racist, racist. But I love this comment: “Calling Republicans ‘racist’ for opposing Democrats in general, or Obama specifically, is nothing more than a political tactic that we use to turn black people against Republicans. There’s nothing to be gained by using this tactic against Democrats.” Remember, comrades: We must distinguish between mere bourgeois truth, which is concerned with sterile fa...

Argentina: Squatters, neighbors in new clashes
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - A rock and bottle fight broke out Friday between squatters illegally occupying a private Soccer field and neighbors who want them gone. A Police Officer and a Journalist caught in the crossfire were injured. People hurled objects at each other in Villa Lugano, a southwestern suburb of Buenos Aires, until police created a cordon between the two groups and ended the violence.

You Went Full Ayers, ManNever Go Full Ayers
When Bill Clinton did his victory lap last week around this time, how much do you think the brutal left-on-left race-obsessed primary season of 2008 was still fresh on his mind? I wonder if he heard this interview with Bill Ayers from the start of the month, in which he claims that, as the Blaze notes, “White Supremacist [Hillary] Clinton Created Shadowy Characters of Rev. Wright & Others” to exoticize Obama. Fortunately, that can’t ever happen again, since, “Callin...

Yodeling in Austria now a crime because it insults Muslims
Political correctness has gone bonkers in Austria, where a judge has determined that 63-year-old Helmut Griese is guilty for offending his Muslim neighbors for yodeling in his backyard as he was mowing the grass. The court heard how things came to a head late in the summer when Griese was both mowing his lawn and yodelling as the family were praying. Police were called and it was him who was issued with a summons as tempers got heated. He was charged with the arcane offences of "disparagement of...

Dark Skin No Longer a Curse in Online Book of Mormon
Chapter headings in the online version of the Book of Mormon have been changed by LDS Church officials, eliminating vestiges of Racist theology that linked dark skin to spiritual accursedness. * Old version: “Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cursed, receive a skin of blackness, and become a scourge to the Nephites.” * New online version: “Because of their unbelief, the Lamanites are cut off from the presence of the Lord, are cursed, and become a scourge unto the Nep...
