America is heading towards the abyss – whatever the outcome of the coming election. If Trump wins, we have a fighting chance to save our democracy as we know it. If he loses, the racial totalitarians will be in power and our fight will be a rearguard action based on the hope that when the American people get a full dose of governance by the party of hate they will gather their forces to defeat them.

Michelle Obama – to pick one among a myriad of examples to hand – has declared the coming election to be an election about racism. According to Michelle, Trump and his supporters are racists, and their helpless victims are people of color like her. In this delusional vision – typical of the racial messages coming from every benighted American who considers themselves “progressive” – Trump supporters are white nationalists who oppress people of color. Thus, in a recent message, Michelle Obama has urged undecided voters to, “’Think about all those folks like me and my ancestors,’” and then vote Democrat, “like your life depended on it.” Like her arrogant supporters she thinks that a reflection on the state of benighted black people provides a self-evident reason to condemn the half of America who would vote Republican. The Democrat electoral cause is a crusade against a racist president and the white supremacists and racists, who support him and are determined to attack the most vulnerable citizens among us and make their lives hellish.

Okay, Michelle, since you asked for it, here’s what I think about folks like you. You are worth $100 million, a lot more than most of the people who inhabit this country. In short, you are incredibly privileged. I won’t insult you the way you insult white people by calling this black skin privilege, though many Republicans voted for your husband because they wanted a black American to be president even though he was a Democrat.

Not only are you privileged and rich, but despite your cavalier contempt for our country and its achievements – you are one of the most admired women in America, however implausible and tragic that may be. As for your ancestors, black Africans enslaved every one of the unfortunate men and women who were sold at slave auctions to Europeans and shipped to the New World. There, the English had indeed established a slave system. But in 1776, the creators of this great country founded the first nation in human history – black or white – dedicated to the proposition that all human beings – black as well as white – are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with a right to liberty that no government can take away.

Immediately on the creation of their new nation, they began ending slavery first in what rapidly became the Free States of the North, then in the vast territory incorporated under the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. Seventy-six years later – not the 400 your devious and malicious friends reflexively attribute to “American slavery” – the Emancipation Proclamation sounded the death knell of a hateful system. The costs of this world-shaking effort were 350,000 mainly white Union lives, and that of the noblest president with which this country has been blessed.

I won’t deal with the specifics of your paranoid view that only black people experience the frustrations of modern life, and only because they are black. But I will dredge up this unpleasant fact: Ninety-percent of interracial crimes in the United States – more than half a million in all – are committed by blacks against whites. Yet, this has not led to a wave of anti-black racism on the part of whites. On the contrary, there has never been a time when white Americans have more generously and openly and virtually unanimously embraced the idea that black lives matter, and proceeded to do what they could to help that minority of the black community that has fallen behind. Indeed, the president you slander as racist has done more for black people in his four years in office than your husband did in eight. It is time for a little humility Michelle and color-blindness, and for putting way the racist rhetoric you are hoping your party will use to get back in power.

Officials in Berlin’s left-wing government have a new handbook which states that they can no longer label people as “foreigners” or “asylum seekers”, with both of them allegedly discriminatory. 

Words such as foreigners (Ausländer), black passengers (Schwarzfahrer) and asylum seekers (Asylbewerber) should no longer exist in Berlin.

The term “Schwarzfahren” means to “ride black” and refers to riding a train without a paid ticket. In English, it would be the equivalent of disallowing the term “black market”. There is no evidence that the German term “Schwarzfahren” was ever meant to refer to Black people in any manner or intended to be used for any derogatory purpose.

The new handbook rules for officials came from the local senate, which is the executive body of Berlin. With the new guidelines, an official should replace the word “foreigner” with the new term “person with an international past”. The term “black traveler” is also to be changed, with the manual offering the option of “passengers without a valid ticket”.

The handbook is extremely detailed, has 44 pages, and is part of a new diversity program. It suggests a large number of new terms for commonly used words in Germany, according to Czech news portal Novinky.cz. 

Recently, Remix News reported on a battle for a popular product called gypsy sauce, which is also said to be discriminatory. The new name is “Hungarian-Style paprika“ sauce.

“Since the term ‘Gypsy sauce’ can be interpreted negatively, we decided to give our Knorr Sauce a new name. In a few weeks you will find this on the shelf as ‘Hungarian Style Paprika Sauce’,” the Knorr company said in a statement.

The war over words and what they mean in culture has accelerated in recent years, with left-wing governments taking what were once commonly used phrases and expressions, and making them illegal. For example, New York City’s government banned the word “illegal immigrant” and “alien” from all government documents. The government also voted to make it illegal for any citizen in New York to use the terms in a manner that is meant to demean or discriminate against someone, with fines for using the terms reaching as high as $250,000. 

The UK’s National Cyber Security Center has also banned the terms of “whitelist” and “blacklist”, alleging they are racially insensitive, a stance that Google engineers also embrace.

The Lord Mayor of Suhl, André Knapp ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU), has spoken out against the reception of further refugees in the Thuringian city and warned against overburdening the residents.
“From the lessons learned in recent weeks, I do not see that the facility in Suhl should and can permanently accept even more asylum seekers,” explained Knapp in response to a request from the magazine FOCUS Online. Suhl is home to the initial reception facility for asylum seekers in Thuringia. Around 600 people are currently housed there.The left-wing state government had recently announced its intention to take in 500 more refugees and reiterated its plans after the major fire in the Greek refugee camp Moria. Thuringian CDU politicians reject this – among other things with reference to the conflict-laden atmosphere in the initial reception facility in Suhl.

In asylum accommodation, the crime rate has risen sharply in recent months. From January 2020 to mid May 2020 alone, the Suhl police recorded more than 200 crimes in which the suspects were residents of the shelter. In the city of 35,000 inhabitants, there are repeated clashes and the atmosphere is tense. Recently, bus drivers expressed their fear of continuing the route to the home because they were afraid of assaults and feared for the safety of the passengers.

“I can see that many people are reacting very negatively to the recurring and in some cases increasing number of crimes in the inner city,” explained Knapp to FOCUS Online, “I am getting calls from parents who are worried about letting their children walk through the inner city alone following the latest incident, a stabbing in broad daylight. The 47-year-old local politician, himself a father of three children: “Here, the rule of law must exhaust all available means to ensure law and order and security.In an interview with FOCUS Online, the CDU politician sharply criticized the left-wing state government for its handling of the asylum accommodation that opened in 2014. “In 2015 there were serious riots between the residents of the facility for the first time,” said the Lord Mayor.Thereupon, the local political leaders of the city of Suhl “repeatedly” addressed the Free State of Thuringia as operator of the asylum center and “reported organizational deficiencies”. Knapp: “However, the actual willingness of the Free State of Thuringia to create the necessary organizational and personnel conditions for the safe and secure handling of the facility was extremely deplorable.

Only a few steps away from the Verona City Hall, this incident occurred: a mentally handicapped Italian was pushed, kicked and beaten by a group of young North Africans.While passers-by sitting on the steps just watched the goings-on and did not interfere, an Italian courageously intervened, perhaps preventing worse from being done.

The senior Polish ruling coalition party Law and Justice (PiS) will call on Tuesday in the European Parliament for resignation of German MEP Katarina Barley, who also as one of the vice-presidents of the European Parliament, after her statement in German radio interview asking the European Union for the “financial starvation” of Hungary and Poland, conservative Hungarian daily Magyar Hírlap reports.

“The rule of law is constantly broken and EU funds are an efficient way to exact pressure. States such as Poland and Hungary must be financially starved. Funds are an efficient lever,” Barley told German radio last week.

The motion will be presented by PiS, part of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, at Tuesday’s meeting of the European Parliament presidency, Legutko told Polish news agency PAP.

Legutko, head of the PiS European Parliament delegation, responded to the Barley statement given to Deutschlandfunk German public service radio that Viktor Orbán should be “financially starved” related to rule of law breaches and that the tax paid by European citizens should be prevented from being paid to “regimes such as those of Orbán and Kaczynski”.

In a letter to European Parliament President David Sassoli accompanying the motion, Legutko underlined that the German term aushungern (to starve), used by Barley in the interview “amounts to a provocative humiliation of the Polish and Hungarian nations who have a vivid memory of starvation”.

Last week, Barley’s comments caused widespread outrage in Poland and Hungary.

“A German is calling for the starvation of Hungary and Poland. No illusions remain. The fight for the rule of law is not meant to improve legislation in the EU. It is an ideological weapon against conservative governments,”  said Law and Justice MEP (PiS) and former Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski in response.

Pointing out that Barley had not yet apologized for her words, Legutko underlined that whatever German politicians think of the governments of Poland and Hungary, this “cannot justify his insensitivity and lack of respect for the two nations that have suffered for the better part of the 20th century.”

Legutko said it is doubtful that a motion to replace Barley, from the second-largest European Parliament group, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, would find majority support in the parliament. The petition could even be rejected at a meeting of the European Parliament presidency, but such an action will simply prove that Barley’s statements are not considered reprehensible by the majority factions of the European Parliament, the Polish politician remarked.

Due to Barley’s statement last week, several leading Polish politicians demanded an official apology. Michal Dworczyk, head of the Polish prime minister’s office, crticized Deutschlandfunk’s retrospective clarification that the term “starvation” did not apply to Poland.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki — as reported  by the Wpolityce.pl conservative news portal  — said Barley’s statement on Saturday was “reprehensible” and a “diplomatic scandal.” The Germans “should remember the horror, the genocide, the tragedies for which they are responsible”, Morawiecki stressed that in the European Union, Hungary and Poland have the same rights as countries such as Germany and France.
