.@jemelehill claimed on @CNN that the Electoral College is rooted in slavery as she tried to defend Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss to Trump. Yes. It’s 2026 and CNN is still spending time re-litigating 2016, while at the same time telling Republicans to quit talking about Biden because he’s no longer president. Jemele Hill: “The electoral college is rooted in slavery. That, that was the entire reason that it was- Invented essentially, and we should have gotten from up under it a long time ago, and not just because you have two women quite capable who lose the election.” So let’s take a look at some of the other every day things the radical leftists are now saying is racist or rooted in slavery, and try not to roll your eyes too much: Food and Drink - White/Whole Milk • Apparently linked to white supremacy by some academics, PETA and political figures like Oregon Democrat Rep Maxine Dexter. • Critics have tried to call milk itself problematic and tied to racial health disparities. Education and Academics - Mathematics … algebra, 2+2=4, objective answers, and showing work • Seattle schools, California’s equity math pushes, Equitable Math and some university professors have called TRADITIONAL Math ‘racist’ and tied to ‘white supremacy culture’. • Claims that emphasizing the right answer, objectivity or western foundations … upholds capitalism/imperialism or creates disparate outcomes. • Standardized testing, grades, merit and rigor are viewed as perpetuating inequities rooted in systemic racism/slavery legacies. - Punctuality/Timeliness and Urgency are considered ‘white supremacy culture’ because they are generally white-dominate traits devaluing other cultural approaches in time. - Grammer, Proper English and Written Communication are considered racist or a tool of white supremacy for enforcing dominant norms. - Hard work, Self-Reliance, Politeness, Objectivity, Ratio Al/Linear Thinking and Perfectionism are considered ‘white dominant’ cultural traits. Institutions, Symbols, and Policies - Voter ID Laws … often called Jim Crow 2.0 because Democrat and progressive groups consider black people unintelligent enough to get IDs or find their polling places. - Border Wall/Security is labeled as racist and xenophobic because it symbolizes white nationalism and anti-immigrant bias rooted in historical exclusion. - American Flag, Patriotism and ‘Make America Great -Again’ are considered ‘dog-whistles’ for racism and tied to supremacist nostalgia. - Founding Documents, Constitution and Capitalism are framed as rooted in slavery/racism, with institutions seen as irredeemable white supremacy. Language and Everyday Practices - Words/Phrases with historic ties … such as master/slave in tech, peanut gallery, plantation shutters, sold down the River. - Professionalism Standards such as dress, speech and behavior are often critiqued as biased toward white/western norms. - Colorblindbess or ‘not seeing race’. • Martin Luther King Jr.-style views sometimes dismissed as naive or upholding racism by ignoring systemic issues. Other Notable Examples - Classical Music, Certain Hairstyles or Cultural Norms … appropriation or ‘whiteness’ debates. - Environmental or Farming Practices … occasional ties to colonial legacies. - COVID Policies or other Neutral Rules … disparate impact arguments leading to racism claims. These ideas appear in teacher trainings, university materials, DEI programs, and statements from some elected Democrats or aligned activists. Many trace to broader theories positing that race-neutral policies can still be “racist” if they sustain disparities.
