Aww. The KKK is Upset.
The Memphis City Council voted last week to change the names of three public parks that are named for prominent confederates, including the first grand wizard of the KKK, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Sen. Rapert’s Greatest Hits
Sen. Jason Rapert, the Arkansas Republican who submitted a bill requiring mandatory invasive ultrasounds for all women seeking to have an abortion (thus proving that he has an extra ‘t’ in his name), has a history.

Alabama Football Coach Uses Racist, Homophobic Slurs
I am shocked — shocked, I tell you — to find out that a high school football coach in Alabama is a bigot. Bob Grisham, the football coach at Lauderdale County High School, spewed out a bucket full of bigotry and it was all caught on audio tape. Oops.

War on Christmas? Yep, It’s the Jews
You knew it had to come down to this, right? If there’s a war on Christmas, you just knew that it was the Jews behind the whole thing, running it all from their seats of extraordinary power in the banking and entertainment industries. But Burt Prelutsky can say that, because he’s Jewish:

Ashley Attracts Dumbest Commenter Ever
Ashley Miller’s post about her father disowning her because she’s dating a black man has justifiably gotten a lot of attention, but it has also attracted two of the dumbest commenters in human history to spew racist bullshit. The first is a guy named Larry, but I’ll ignore him for now to talk about the …

Vox Day: Whites Should Secede
Vox Day’s latest column at the Worldnutdaily looks at far-right “independence” movements in the UK and elsewhere and suggests that they are models for what should happen in America as white people blame all the bad things on dark-skinned immigrants and demand the right to secede:

Saying Hello to Racists
I don’t know if you guys have seen the site Hello There, Racists, but it’s alternately appalling and amusing. Okay, mostly appalling and vile, but it’s funny to see all the bad spelling and poor grammar that inevitably accompanies musings like this:

Fischer: Hispanic People are Socialists
Bryan Fischer went on one of his usual idiotic and racist rants, this time aimed at immigrants. He says the real reason we vote Democratic is because they are all socialists — and that’s why we need to keep them out, so Republicans will win elections. Way to tar an entire race of people with …

Racist? Why Would Anyone Think She’s a Racist?
One of the many people who Tweeted after last week’s election to call President Obama a nigger (no, I’m not going to say “n-word” — we all know what the word is and there is no need for euphemism here) has been fired and seems to be baffled by those who think it was racist. …
