The Alabama Race was all about #BlackWomen and #DaHWhiteMan?

Let's be clear, even though I've shared this over and over again: I was not a Roy Moore supporter, I don't live in Alabama anyway, and I'm not proclaiming him to be innocent but rather innocent until proven guilty. I also think that he was out of his mind with many of his campaign statements, his handling of his media appearances was incompetent to a fault, and he failed to promote his message beyond his traditional support base of hardcore conservative Christians. In short, Roy Moore deserved to lose, and that's leaving aside the ridiculous smear campaign that was waged against him based on allegations that were 40 years old that ironically surfaced a month within a special election caused by a vacancy due to a presidential appointment.

Yet last night, instead of acknowledging that Roy Moore's personal vulnerabilities torpedoed his campaign, Twitter users started attributing his defeat to a certain sector of the population that they call #BlackWomen. Case in point, DNC chair Tom Perez:

Here is CNN commentator, gay rights activist, and Columbia U faculty Keith Boykin:
That's odd? Not only does this man attack "Da HWhite Man", but also women. Now, I don't see how this is in any way relevant to a race where two HWhite men ran. After all, let's take a look at the photos of those candidates.

Now those are some pretty HWhite guys. Also weighing in is noted TYT contributor and erstwhile HWhite man Shaun King:

I wonder where Shaun King is on the HWhite supremacist spectrum given that he takes money from The Young Turks and the New York Daily News and from clueless donors to his defunct social activism platform "Justice Together".

So I'll use my remaining time right now to tell you what according to the media and all of these friggin' geniuses was NOT the subject of the race:

  • The future of American healthcare.
  • Reform of American drug laws.
  • Addressing the power and wealth of the American military industrial complex.
  • Promoting reconciliation between the races.
  • Helping eliminate the national debt.
  • Attracting more jobs to Alabama.
  • The Mueller probe and who will be sitting in on the hearings.
  • Whether suspects are presumed innocent before standing trial for an allegation.
Maybe I'm wrong and they did think those things were issues, but I'd like to know why they spent the hours after the election only talking about #BlackWomen and #DaHWhiteMan.

Did the "Dancing Israeli" theorists actually read the FBI file?

A few months ago a friend of mine, like myself Jewish, suggested to me that there would be forthcoming indictments of Israeli agents for involvement in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He was convinced that documents slated for declassification would shine a light on an operation by Israel's Mossad that had either prior knowledge or involvement in the plot.  I would be remiss if I did not admit that for years controversial historical events, what are popularly panned as "conspiracy theories", are a topic that has fascinated me. But I've always had a blind spot for the 9/11 theories mostly because there were so many of them, and it is difficult to distinguish serious questions from spaced out hyperbolic speculation. And sure, I'll also admit that the idea that there could have been a nefarious plot to topple the Twin Towers and pull the USA into wars in the Middle East made me uncomfortable. After all, my own family hails f

A year later Ryan Dawson is Addicted to Lies, Part 1

 As I'm writing this it is the week after the 19th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the event that defined my generation just as Vietnam defined the generation of baby boomers. It is a bitter day for many reasons. On the one hand there is the largely held sentiment that the almost three thousand victims of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. Another reason compounding it is the lack of transparency by the US government and various other governments regarding the events leading up to the tragic attacks. And yet on top of that is the fact that opportunistic hoaxers have taken it upon themselves to take advantage of that lack of transparency and use the available information to concoct lies and canards in order to fit their worldview. In 2019 I debated one such person, Ryan Dawson of ANC Report. Typically I have the urge to find something redeeming in one of my opponents, but with respect to him the longer the exposure to his material the easier it is to see th

The Ryan Dawson Refund Guide Part 1

It is undeniable that in the course of the last 60 years going back to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the Vietnam War there has been a process whereby each generation of Americans is confronted with an event that causes them to doubt the official version of events and media accounts. This phenomenon can be seen in a wide variety of topics from campus culture (the Duke Lacrosse Case , Rolling Stone 's " A Rape on Campus ") to scientific data (Michael Mann's " Hockey Stick " saga), to war atrocities ( Ghouta chemical attack , Kuwaiti incubators controversy, Pallywood ), to alleged spying scandals (Trump-Russia scandal). Media organizations do the work of power brokers to promote a story without regard for establishing the facts before going to print (or the airwaves). In many cases when journalists, alternative media, or individual citizens question the conventional logic to the story they are reprimanded by media figures as "conspi
