Just another day in Bill de Blasio’s NYC. NYPD officers in Bronx are trying to arrest a robbery suspect who is resisting arrest.

If you insist that the only people we should call Nazis are actual Nazis, that's because you're a Nazi. I call this theory Nazi Fragility, and it's true because if you think it's not, that's because you're showing it, because you're a Nazi.

Where does this kind of arrogance and self-importance come from?

I always enjoy these Huffpo writers talking about race and diversity.

Robin DiAngelo doctrine revolves around two absurdities:

1) There are two types of white people: racists (who admit it) and racists (who are too fragile to admit it);
