South Park exposes everything wrong with social justice warriors [VIDEO]
At first glance, it appeared that South Park creators Matt Stone & Trey Parker were just going to lampoon victimhood culture and identity politics in their third episode “Holiday Special,” but they went several steps ahead and completely ripped social justice warriors altogether.
It can be argued that they exposed the entire social justice warrior movement as a bunch of white people who use virtue signaling and call people “racists” in order to gain power and attention.
In the lead-up to the episode, Stone and Parker hilariously mocked white people, who through DNA swab tests, get to claim the privileges and victimhood of another ethnic group because they turned out to be either “2.1 percent black” or “4.2 percent Cherokee Indian.”
However, in the episode, we find our favorite social justice warrior, Randy Marsh, going on a tear by getting South Park elementary to cancel Columbus Day and tears down one Columbus statue while defecating on another. He even recruits his son, Stan, to start calling each and every resident of Columbus, Ohio to say they’re a “racist piece of sh-t” for living in a city named after “ethnic cleansing.”
It gets Stan to call his Dad out saying, “We all get your point, but don’t you think you’re overdoing it?”
To which Randy responds, “You have to overdo it in today’s society, Stan. You can’t be nuanced and subtle anymore or else critics go, ‘Wow, what was the point of all that?'”
While Stan and the kids try to find a way to get their day off from school back, they discover there are several photos on the internet of Randy dressed as Christopher Columbus at different public functions, including Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, and at a football game.
Randy dismisses the accusations saying he was “younger” and that “everyone was stoked on Columbus back [in 2013].”
Thinking he’ll be exposed as a fraud, a discouraged Randy gives up, until an ad for “DNA and Me” plays while watching television.
In order to show that he can claim Native American victimhood, Randy pays a Native American man $100 to French kiss him. He then takes the DNA mouth swab test. It later reveals he’s a mix of Northern European, Meditteranean, and Southwest Asian, which closely matches the standard Caucasian British person. However, the test revealed that he’s 2.8 percent Neanderthal, which is higher than average.
Randy learns that Neanderthals were a species that was wiped out by Homo sapiens.
“Wiped out? All of my people?” Randy asks.
“Yes, but, you see, because of some cross-breeding some people like you possess Neanderthal DNA. Isn’t that interesting?” The DNA and Me rep responds.
Randy, discovering that he’s now a victim of oppression from Homo sapiens, begins to flips out.
“Cross-breeding? You mean rape. You’re telling me that my ancestors were raped and then...

U.S. born Muslims more hostile to America
The source is one of those Pew writeups that is 99 percent spin and 1 percent statistics. I’ll skip on quoting much of it, because it’s largely concerned with promoting claims of Muslim victimhood. But it does show a pattern.
The common pattern in America and Europe is that Muslim settlers born in the host country are actually more negatively disposed to the country than their immigrant parents.
European defenders usually put this down to the classic “failure to integrate.” And their American cousins insisted that we wouldn’t have “no go zones” because we didn’t have that problem. Except it turns out that second-generation immigrants are more likely to have issues with us.
Indeed, just three-in-ten U.S.-born Muslims say the American people are friendly toward Muslim Americans, compared to 73% of immigrants who feel this way.
And U.S.-born Muslims are more likely than their immigrant counterparts to say there is discrimination against Muslims, and to say they have personally experienced at least one of several specific types of discrimination, such as people acting suspicious of them or calling them offensive names, being singled out by airport security or by some other law enforcement, or being physically attacked or threatened.
Nine-in-ten (91%) U.S.-born Muslims say there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims, compared with 65% of immigrants who say this. And six-in-ten U.S.-born Muslims (61%) say that in the past 12 months they have experienced...

Why didn't TV networks show angry, booing NFL fans Sunday or Monday?
With President Donald Trump's comments against protesting NFL players still reverberating, the league's TV partners decided to air live coverage of the national anthem before Week 3 games. Those partners left out a key element of the coverage: crowd shots of angry fans.
Networks typically do not televise the national anthem except for the Super Bowl and other special occasions, but they recognized there would be intense viewer interest this past weekend.
Some fans, if they reacted at all, happily clapped and cheered during protests, but others did not, and they angrily let their home teams know it. The audio mics picked up the boos. Yet the TV networks mostly avoided crowd shots Sunday, so there was never a chance for viewers to see fans jeering players.
A segment of Patriots fans in Foxborough, Mass., for example, nearly booed their own players off the field when some Pats sat or kneeled, with some screaming, "Stand up!"
One behind-the-scenes TV staffer at another stadium told Sporting News that camera operators were ordered to avoid crowd shots in case they showed fans counterprotesting the protests.
NBC Sports, CBS Sports, Fox Sports and ESPN pay billions each year to televise live NFL games. The league saw this weekend's unprecedented anthem coverage as a...

The NFL Has Its Hands Deep in Taxpayer Money
By Michelle Malkin
I’m calling foul on all the leftists rushing to protect the NFL’s protest crusaders from President Donald Trump’s criticism of their national anthem antics.
Their shabby line of defense? The NFL is a “private enterprise” whose “rights” are being violated by those who dare to challenge the league’s political radicalization.
The anti-Trump Democratic Coalition has even filed an ethics complaint alleging that the president’s comments constitute a criminal violation against using government offices “to influence the employment decisions and practices” of a private entity.
Funny. These fair-weather friends of corporate free speech and the First Amendment were nowhere to be found when Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel were vowing to shut down Chick-Fil-A in their towns as government retaliation against the founders’ private religious beliefs.
As for the NFL’s status as a “private” enterprise? That’s some Super Bowl-sized audacity right there.
I first started tracking publicly subsidized sports boondoggles with my very first watchdog website, Porkwatch, back in 1999. Since then, taxpayers at all levels of government have foot the bill for football stadiums to the tune of an estimated $1 billion every year.
Over the past decade, new tax-supported NFL stadiums rose up for the Indianapolis Colts (the $720 million Lucas Oil Stadium), the Dallas Cowboys (the $1.15 billion AT&T Stadium), the New York Jets and Giants (the $1.6 billion MetLife Stadium), the Minnesota Vikings...

The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #28
You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?
It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,
from the beautiful to the repugnant,
from the mysterious to the familiar.
If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,
you could be inspired, you could be appalled.
This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.
You have been warned.
