The Conservative Cave

A middle school in Madison, Wisconsin, is in hot water after it was revealed the school offered a free brunch and games for Black students and staff members. Democrats have spent the past several weeks claiming the SAVE Act is a restoration of Jim Crow laws, and yet not one of them will condemn this school for its open and blatant segregation and discrmination.

On the announcement, the "Feeding Our Soul Brunch" was described as "open to all staff and students who self-identify as Black/African American. 'Feeding Our Soul' is exactly what it sounds like: a moment to slow down, breathe, eat well, laugh together, and feel seen. We want Black students and staff to experience school as a place where their presence is celebrated and where community is built intentionally."

Except that the community doesn't include students of any other race.

As O'Donnell points out, this violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In a recent interview with Variety, veteran comedian and actor Kevin James made an almost non-comment that was the definition of milquetoast: that he prefers to leave political analysis to those better suited than he and focus on what people come to see him for: comedy.

The film has so far fared well and the interview covered a number of topics, and almost passingly mentions James’ resistance to wade into politics near the very end of the article:

Everybody carries themselves around all day long with a lot of stress. It’s necessary in some ways, but you also need a break. You’ve got to look around and find the good in things. Otherwise, you’re just not going to function. I want to make people have fun, have hope and get a nice escape in their day.”

Honestly, how much controversy could this have stirred up? Plenty, of course. This Fox News article covering the online row details a number of comments people on social media have been posting, painting James’ as some arch-conservative for simply wishing to distance himself from politics. Buzzfeed also ran an article detailing a variety of comments from the leftist peanut gallery, and the quote eventually got the attention of the r/entertainment subreddit, where the comment thread quickly devolved into wondering what Ja Rule’s opinion of the whole thing was ...
