How many times and how much longer will we be writing stories about Al Sharpton? The difference between Al and Black Lives Matter and Jussie Smollett is that we recognized early on that BLM and Smollett were shams looking to benefit from the hysteria created whenever the scourge of racism is brought out of storage. … Read more
Hakeem Steps Up to the Microphone It was 10 years ago that Michelle Obama, the former First Lady and future President, whenever she wants it, extolled her Party that when they go low, we’ll go high. It was about as lame a line as the image of her holding up a sign saying “#bringbackourgirls”, urging … Read more
Segregation is illegal. In every shape, form, phase, version, and even perception. The ‘State’ cannot isolate people by any demographic characteristic. Except for voting. Well, not anymore. The US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in congressional districts is segregation and discrimination and violates federal law. Democrats, who have been segregating longer than any other recognizable … Read more
If you haven’t seen the 1991 Steve Martin film, LA Story, this isn’t about that, so no need for spoiler alerts. Amusing film, though, and worth a watch; it makes fun of 1990s LA, which is to say it makes fun of LA, and there isn’t enough of that, so here’s some more. It starts … Read more
Hank Johnson has been a member of Congress since 2007 and lives in the Atlanta area. I say he lives there rather than represents the people of Atlanta because Hank Johnson is a despicable human being. If the folks of Atlanta paid attention to his actions, they may choose someone else to represent them. I … Read more
A funny thing happened on the way to the California Gubernatorial Debate. It had to be canceled. Why, with ten candidates vying to be the top two contenders for the office, would they cancel that debate? There are ten candidates. The Local ABC affiliate is hosting, along with the University of Southern California (USC). The … Read more
Leave it to liberal academics to suggest something as absurd as a whiteness pandemic. The nation has been flooded with people of color for years. They are reproducing at significantly faster rates than whites, who are barely, if still, at replacement level. And while the nation is still overwhelmingly not brown, it was more so … Read more
Sometimes the ideas line up in good order and, one by one, arrive at the front of the line to find themselves explored as 600 (ish) word recon ops on these pages. Other times, they linger on the edge of consciousness, teasing from the shadowy recesses of the imagination. The latter may vanish altogether or … Read more
For a bunch of Marxists with white guilt, the New Hampshire Democrat party still can’t seem to get out of its own way. They lost their First Nation primary in 2024 because the local diversity scolds didn’t have any. That was according to the DNC “birthing person” (mother) ship, which claims to have stripped them … Read more
I watched an HBO/MAX documentary on the Boston Celtics, and an entire episode centered on the racial divide that existed in Boston in the 70’s and how it impacted the black players on the team. Boston has always had a reputation for being a challenging environment for black players and their families. It is difficult … Read more
In the autumn of 2017, this author took two graduate level courses at West Chester University, a small liberal arts college in the suburbs of Philadelphia, one course being Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) and the other Critical Race Studies (CRS). These two courses present the lynchpin of the modern Western leftist and neo-Marxist ideologies … Read more
In a 2022 article titled “Will the U.S. Supreme Court ever get around to overruling the shame of Dred Scott?” the surprising proposition is advanced that the1857 Dred Scott case is “still precedent” in the United States, and that “racist lawyers and racist judges can (blatantly or discreetly) rely on it in their arguments and rulings.” Like … Read more
The modern identity politics race pimps peddling Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion tell us that reverse racism is impossible. It is not a thing. Black people can hate whites and deny them opportunities or jobs or even rental space, and that’s not discrimination. I would argue that you can do all those … Read more
Many people are familiar with the divisive concepts of Critical Race Theory (CRT). The best-known examples are the notion of “white privilege” and the redefinition of racism as “power plus privilege.” These concepts have been widely rejected, and even banned from public schools in some states. However, less often remarked upon is CRT’s more pernicious … Read more
There will never come a time when all human beings are in full ideological agreement, which is why free speech is of paramount importance to peaceful co-existence. Free speech is the only foundation on which men who disagree with each other can debate their opposing ideologies, or even hurl insults at each other if so … Read more
An activist historian in the United Kingdom, who rose to prominence as a supporter of Black Lives Matter, recently expounded to the Times on what he sees as the proper role of historians: “I think [the job of historians] is to try to stand there at this arsenal of dangerous ideas and to make it more difficult … Read more
Thomas Sowell is not alone in his expert analysis of the problems plaguing Americans, particularly those of color. A black man, a former Marxist, and a stellar economist, Sowell is not popular with the political left, not for leaving them so much as for having his own mind and for refusing to lie down and … Read more
A recent federal court decision prohibited the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating pollution based on skin color. Viewed as a blow to “environmental justice” initiatives, the Louisiana decision hinged on an important distinction between government policies created with racist intent versus those that result in racially disparate impacts. The ruling may influence future regulatory action, raising important … Read more
Democrats want us to believe that systemic racism is prevalent in every nook and cranny and every age group in America. They like to point a finger at the Right and connect all of our beliefs to racism. Blaming conservatives for being racist is their favorite line of attack, regardless of ethnic nationality or economic … Read more
By Wanjiru Njoya | Mises Wire – In Race & Economics, Walter Williams emphasizes the importance of causality in understanding racial inequality. He argues that it is not enough to document and track economic inequality — it is necessary also to understand its causes. Without understanding the causes of any perceived problem, any attempts to resolve … Read more
