The Daily Caller Presents The Alphabet Of Racism: THE LETTER ‘H’

Font Size:

The Daily Caller’s alphabetical tour de force showing that absolutely everything is racist rolls unstoppably forth.

Here are half a dozen things beginning with the letter ‘H’ that somebody, somewhere has deemed racist.

Hello Kitty AvrilLavigneVEVO screenshotIn April, after Avril Lavigne released a video for her single “Hello Kitty,” The Daily Beast — among others — accused the Canadian pop star of the crime of “cultural appropriation” because the video showed Lavigne traipsing around Tokyo with some Japanese backup singers. Sushi and candy are involved. “[W]hat does Hello Kitty really mean?” the sad and confused writer at The Daily Beast actually asks at one point amid over 1,000 words.

YouTube screenshot BlitzAny criticism of Michelle Obama — for her excessive vacations, say, or for her insistence on awful-tasting school lunches — is likely to be met with charges of racism. The same goes for criticism that could maybe, possibly include the first lady. Back in May, CNN host Don Lemon became furious with his colleague Matt Cain after Cain suggested that the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag is utterly pointless. After Cain criticized “cheap hashtag activism when it comes to the girls with Boko Haram,” Lemon called it a “dog whistle” directed at Michelle Obama, according to The Right Scoop.

Harvard Law Creative Commons ChensiyuanIn a 2010 post at some website called Feministe, Harvard Law School graduate Diane Lucas called her alma mater racist because, she said, “Harvard Law breeds a racially tense environment, which often culminates in ‘race wars.'” Hilariously, her argument — such as it can be generously described as an argument — consists of a few highly isolated vignettes spread over several years.

Saying so is racist. “[R]eminding everyone that Barack Obama has, not just a scary foreign-sounding name, but a scary, foreign and Islamic sounding name which is the same as that nasty dictator plays really well with a Republican audience,” the New Statesman has proclaimed breathlessly. The Daily Caller notes that the New Statesman reminded everyone that Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name is Hussein in the processing of calling others racist for recalling the middle name Hussein.

He landed on his feet. Just last month, CNN promoted Chalian to the position of political director.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
