The Harper House on Paramount+ follows Debbie Harper (voice of Rhea Seehorn) and her family as they struggle to adapt to their new life after Debbie loses her job and they must move from the wealthy side to the poor side of a small Arkansas town. They are a woke liberal family so it is not at all surprising that the episode that began streaming on September 30, titled “Baby Talk/Coupon Kid,” centered on white guilt and black neighbors.
One day, school girl Shauna Bradley went to the Harper house selling coupon pages for the “Irish Heritage Foundation.” Dad Freddie (voice of Gabourey Sidibe) tried to turn down her sales pitch but Shauna persisted, throwing the race card, “C’mon, man. You’re white. Are you saying that you don’t have money for a girl like me?” Immediately Freddie caved and gave her the $20 she requested.
After Shauna left, Freddie admitted he didn’t want to buy the coupon page but couldn’t turn her down. Todd (voice of Ryan Flynn) and his sister Ollie (voice of Tatiana Maslaney) told their father that he was probably scammed as Shauna has a reputation at school for being cunning and all the teachers are scared of her. Todd: I’m pretty sure she just took advantage of your white guilt, dad. Ollie: Todd, Dad’s life dream is to have black friends and to have all black people like him. Todd: Then why didn’t we see any black people in real life until we moved to the north side? I mean, isn’t that a bit racist? But Freddie brushed them off saying, “Whatever, she’s just a kid.” After Freddie took Ollie’s soccer team for post-game fast food and tried to pay for it with the coupons, he found out they really were a scam. Freddie said he couldn’t believe a “cute little black girl” would scam him and confronted her at the next soccer game when Ollie’s team played Shauna’s team. Instead of agreeing to give Freddie’s money back to him, she offered to return his money through a bet on the game. Naturally, she outwitted Freddie and […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
