of what it claimed were the \"922 of the most powerful people in America\" while claiming that only 20% of them are people of color.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe term “people of color” is already ambiguous enough with white professors, grad students, and NAACP presidents claiming to be black. But the New York Times’ racial list, a thing reeking of Nuremberg and Goebbels, put the paper in charge of deciding who is a person of color by marking them with yellow. It’s a good thing no notorious racist ideology had the same idea.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E(The Times had previously published a list of members of Congress who had voted against aiding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and terrorist regime by marking Jewish members in yellow.)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike all racist Rohrsarch charts, the Times’ racial list says more about it than about America.\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Times claimed that only 112 of the 431 House of Representatives members are people of color.

They’re both Arabs, but, aside from Tlaib being a militant leftist while Amash is an ex-GOP Never Trumper, the only obvious difference is that Amash’s family was Christian while Tlaib’s family is Muslim.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe New York Times’ message is that Muslims are “people of color” and Christians aren’t. It doesn’t matter if their families might have lived some 20 minutes away from each other.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EArab Christians are white while Arab Muslims are a minority group.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs Twitter observers of the New York Times racial list noted, the paper of racial record appears to invariably list Arab Christians as white, while Muslims are described as people of color.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"24 people lead the Trump administration. 3 are Asian, Black or Hispanic,\" the New York Times insisted. That doesn't include Alex Azar, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, whose grandparents came from Lebanon, and Mark Esper, the Secretary of Defense, whose grandfather emigrated from Lebanon. The Times likewise lists Governor Chris Sununu, of partial Lebanese and Arab Israeli descent, as white, and certainly not a person of color.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat makes an Arab immigrant from Israel, Lebanon, or Syria, white? Christianity.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIsraeli Jews, like Lyor Cohen, YouTube's Global Head of Music, also don’t qualify. The New York Times lists Cohen, the son of Israeli immigrants, as yet another white non-person of color.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt’s not just Jews or Arabs who aren’t considered minorities unless they’re Muslim.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERep. Anna Eshoo's father was an Assyrian Christian who, in her own words, \"was driven from the Middle East.\" The New York Times still lists her as white. Assyrians and Armenians are not people of color. The difference isn’t, as we see in Amash and Tlaib’s case, racial, it’s religious.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt doesn't matter whether you come from Syrian, Lebanon, Iraq or even Iran: if you're not a practicing Muslim, you're white.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETake the case of Farnam Jahanian, the Iranian immigrant who became the president of Carnegie Mellon. Jahanian came to America before the Islamic Revolution and enrolled in a Catholic school. The New York Times however decided that Jahanian is not a person of color.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe’s just white.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile the New York Times has a very rigid standard for being a person of color from the Middle East, it has a very loose one for being a person of color as long as they have Spanish ancestry.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOr speak Spanish.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe New York Times' attempt at defining race leads to awkward absurdities. It lists MIT President Rafael Reif, the son of Eastern European Jewish immigrants to Venezuela, as a person of color, while next to him, Michigan University President Mark Schlissel, whose family came to America, without first going through Venezuela, is listed as plain old white.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERep. Devin Nunes is listed as a person of color because his Portugese ancestors moved to America in the 19th century. Rep. Mike Levin, whose mother is Mexican qualifies, but Senator Pat Toomey, whose mother is of Portugese ancestry, doesn’t meet the Times’ racial test.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGovernor Michelle Lujan Grisham, of the powerful Lujan family, which has dominated New Mexico politics, has her governorship treated as an accomplishment for the oppressed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Of the people in charge of the 25 highest-valued fashion companies, 3 are Asian or Hispanic,\" the Times huffs.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E2 of the 3 are Pablo Isla, a successful Spanish businessman who runs a huge Spanish company, and Tadashi Yanai, who runs a huge Japanese company. Is celebrating the accomplishments of Spanish and Japanese tycoons in their own countries supposed to represent some sort of resistance to discrimination and racial inequity in America?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhy is a Spanish businessman listed as evidence of racial progress while Greek businessmen, including Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, who was born to an electrician in Phoenix, are just white guys whose success demonstrates that America is a racist nation defined by its color lines?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that cuts to the absurdity of defining someone whose family came from Spain as a person of color, while those immigrants whose families came from Italy and Greece are white guys. Why are Portugese and Basque immigrants people of color, and Greeks and Italians aren’t?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut if the New York Times appears to be vague on what makes someone a person of color if they speak Spanish, it’s quite firm on what it takes to be legitimately from the Middle East.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt’s no coincidence that the New York Times has adopted the same idea as ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Mohammed, that non-Muslims don’t have any place in the Middle East.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Left barely polices the boundaries of Latino or Indian identity. Even black identity is so loosely policed that white leftists have been able to get away with pretending to be black. But when it comes to the Middle East, it recognizes only one group of people as legitimate.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIts conquerors.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChristians, Jews, and non-practicing Muslims need not apply. When it comes to other groups, the categories are drawn around race, ethnicity, and even immigration status. But in the Middle East, it doesn’t matter if your parents or grandparents emigrated from Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, or Syria. Their ethnic ancestry doesn’t matter either. Only one thing matters: religion. Islam.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis pernicious bigotry was used to cut off immigration for Christian refugees during the Obama administration while welcoming in Muslim migrants, a perverse reversal of oppression in a region whose Christian population is vanishing under the fire and fury of Muslim persecution.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe New York Times’ racial list is revealing when it comes to the prejudices and agendas of the allies of the Islamist movements and their organizations ethnically cleansing Christians.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Left’s twisted ideas about race lead it to present the region’s persecuted Christian, Jewish, and non-Muslim minorities as white oppressors, while its Muslim supremacist majority are the oppressed people of color who need to be liberated from the oppression of their victims.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis isn’t just twisted.

The first black female DA was now officially a racist oppressor of black people.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“A lot of the cases that people shout the loudest at me about are those cases where the man who was killed had a gun or was shooting someone or harming someone,” Lacey pointed out.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut, like the right to rape in Suffolk County, harming and shooting someone is a right in LA.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou can be the first black DA of Los Angeles, the first gay mayor of South Bend, the first lesbian mayor of Seattle, the first black female police chief of Portland, Philadelphia, or Seattle, you can even be the first black lesbian mayor of Chicago, and you still won’t be radical enough.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou can even run on a pro-crime platform backed by George Soros and it’s still not enough.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s because the problem isn’t racism: it’s radicalism.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf the problem really were racism, it would be solvable. But radicalism has no stopping point. As soon as a mayor, a DA, or police chief seems to fit the bill, they’re not radical enough.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMayors, DAs, and police chiefs who try to actually do their jobs are the first to fall.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJust ask Danielle Outlaw, who was hounded out of Portland, or Carmen Best, who was forced to resign in Seattle. Checking the right identity politics boxes doesn’t matter if you’re not a radical.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut no amount of radicalism is ever enough. Just ask Rachael Rollins.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHistory is full of examples of revolutions where the radicals ate each other. The story of CHOP and of Portland’s over 100 days of rioting, the guillotines and people’s committees, is the familiar one of the French and Russian revolutions, of the radicals killing anyone less radical until there’s no one left except either a tyrant or a populace who is tired of the endless violence.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat the revolutionaries want is a society so unlivable that it even horrified a Soros DA.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen they say that they want to free all the criminals, they really mean it. And when they say that they want to defund the police, they mean that too. These aren’t bold slogans for anything more moderate as their defenders among the Democrats and the media have falsely insisted.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe most obvious symptom of a political movement’s descent into extremism is its inability to describe the problem. Extremism has no language for criticizing its own extremism except by warning that it’s undermining the larger cause. And that’s been the Democrat response. The riots and the crime, they keep warning, are eating into Biden’s lead in some swing states.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s a compelling argument for those making it and a contemptible one to those it’s made to.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENot only the Democrats, but even the Left, and even the radicals are losing control of a movement that is turning on them for not being radical enough.
