Race to the Bottom – THE ATLANTIC

It is to the point that anything we don’t like can be connected to slavery!

It is to the point that anything we don’t like can be connected to slavery!

Several figures in the media can be relied upon to make ANYTHING being discussed into a rant about race. Joy Reid was always the flag bearer. Eddie Glaude cannot refrain from the temptation. And another seemingly afflicted with the racial Tourette's Syndrome is Jemele Hill.

Jemele’s issue, however, is that by starting from the standpoint of anything being racist, she rarely thinks through her claims, and often ends up appearing entirely unfamiliar with specifics while talking like an authority. Take, for instance, the recent time she told people in the interior states they did not have to worry about immigrants coming into their areas because…um, people willing to cross our national border are incapable of crossing state lines???

In a similar fashion, Ms. Hill was a guest on CNN and declared boldly that the reason Kamala Harris was not elected was due to the Electoral College, and that Federalism voting concept was installed to appease slave owners. At the risk of white-splaining, the EC was developed by our Founders (many of whom were anti-slavery) to protect smaller states from being overruled by larger population centers. 

As for litigating the 2016 election, that is something we have been told is election denialism, and a grievous political sin.

.@jasonrantz sets up the liberals on CNN NewsNight to prove the maxim that “Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool” when he reminds them that the electoral college wasn’t founded........
