Mainstream Media Triggered by Anti-White Racism After Being Banned from Georgia Political Event
Is progressivism moving us forwards, or backwards?
A mainstream news outlet was outraged after white reporters were banned from covering a meeting about an upcoming mayoral race in Georgia.
“Organizers of a meeting to discuss an upcoming mayoral race in Georgia barred reporters from attending — unless they were African-American,” according to an Associated Press report.
The mainstream press has recently looked fondly upon black-only spaces, especially on college campuses where they are most prevalent, going so far as saying that black-only spaces are necessary. When the press has not openly supported such racism, it has simply fallen silent. In fact, Americans have often been told by our esteemed media that it is impossible for white people to be victims of racism.
But now that members of the media have fallen prey to this pernicious “progressive” segregation, the subject has finally garnered some national attention.
“White reporters were denied entry, while at least two black reporters and the publisher of a local African-American newspaper were allowed inside, the Savannah Morning News reported. Television cameras and recording devices were also prohibited,” the report said. “The newspaper said the Rev. Clarence Teddy Williams, who organized the meeting, declined to discuss the entry policy.”
Some, but not all of the black candidates for the Savannah mayorship showed up to the event. One candidate thought the event was inappropriate due to its divisiveness.
“Regina Thomas, a former Georgia state senator and one of the incumbent mayor’s black challengers, skipped the church gathering Wednesday,” according to the report. “She said the meeting appeared divisive and was scheduled too early in the campaign. The deadline for candidates to sign up for the race is Aug. 23. Thomas said she also had a scheduling conflict: her Bible study group met Wednesday night.”
Overt anti-white racism has reared its head across the globe of late. Some cricket fans were ejected from an Australian stadium and fined for unfurling an “It’s OK to be white” banner in January.
Twitter has previously censored the message “It’s Ok To Be White” on their platform, hiding the phrase behind a “sensitive material” warning.
Far-left media outlets like NBC have celebrated the banning and censorship of conservative, nationalist, populist groups like Britain First, which Donald Trump has retweeted, which led to his taking flack from U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May.
For some, the recent banning of white journalists in the United States seems to be the logical conclusion of a sustained campaign of anti-white, anti-Christian censorship worldwide.
Some are now asking whether the Associated Press could be banned for having been marked as a member of that set of Americans which is not allowed to exist online or in the real world because of the color of their skin, which — as the AP learned — is not “okay” in some circles.

City of Denver Unanimously Votes to Rename Columbus Park “La Raza Park”
There might come a time when nothing in the US is named after Christopher Columbus.
The Denver City Council unanimously voted to rename Columbus Park last week Monday, and now it will be named “La Raza Park.”
“La raza” is Spanish for “the race,” which has connotations with Latino identity politics. A Denver Post article tells us that the phrase “viva la raza” (long live the race) was the “rallying cry of the Chicano movement in the 1960s and ’70s.” The Chicano Movement encouraged Mexican ethnic and cultural solidarity with a particular emphasis on their indigenous heritage. The movement, however, rejected assimilation and thus the term “Mexican-American,” essentially branding themselves as the Hispanic version of the Black Power movement.
Councilwoman Amanda Sandoval claims that the unanimous vote was an act of officially naming a park that has “always” been unofficially called by its new name. “La raza is a word of unity and about celebrating community,” she said without a hint of irony.
The reason for officially renaming the park is about what you’d expect, namely because Christopher Columbus is irredeemably associated with colonialism and genocide and is thus not fit to be honored in any way, shape, or form.
Arturo Gonzalez, a retired professor, said that “Mexican Chicanos and Indigenous peoples have suffered genocide over the last 500 years. We live with that trauma. We continue to live with that trauma.”
Renaming parks, buildings, and schools that were previously named after so-called “problematic” or “white supremacist” historical figures is nothing new, of course, but the practice has accelerated over the past several months due to the hysteria following the George Floyd riots.
Big League Politics has covered many instances of this phenomenon. One of the most recent instances included a San Francisco school district renaming Abraham Lincoln High School because black lives apparently “didn’t matter” to him:
