  • This has to be parody!

    I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

  • Response to Philadelphia

    In reply to your comment on why blacks are not considered racist when they vote in high numbers for Obama. As far as I can recall..blacks have always had to vote for a white Presidential candidate. This is the first time ever they've had a choice. One must remember..black is not only a race but also an ethnicity. Again as far as I can ...

  • Barack must denounce socialism collectivism & racial-Marxism

    Racial-Marxists use the charge of racism as club to beat “incorrect” thinkers into submission. While the Left continues to exaggerate the slightest of racial offences, this club can become a double edged sward capable of cutting black racists and condescending hypocrites as well. Barack called for Don Imus’ firing because of the comedian’s hate ...

  • Clinton's fantasy for Blacks a sham

    Thanks to the author for injecting reality and evidence into this debate. If Hillary gets the Dem nomination, we'll have missed an opportunity to discuss, analyze and fix racial inequities in the US. Is it too cynical to say that's the point...? I surely hope not.

  • Obama's sermon in Atlanta

    Here are Obama's words today, before an all-black congregation in Atlanta. Can anyone honestly imagine Hillary Clinton -- or Bill, for that matter -- saying something like this? For most of this country’s history, we in the African-American community have been at the receiving end of man’s inhumanity to man. And all of us understand ...

  • Why Hillary (not Gloria)....a Young(er) Woman's Perspective

    In recent days a steady stream of women have celebrated and lauded Gloria Steinem's recent piece in the NYT. Many encourage others to circulate the piece further. Respectfully, I disagree. Ms. Steinem's piece, though well intentioned I'm sure, pits the women's movement against the civil rights movement. Such false competition is divisive, ...

  • The tragedy of the unknown self

    degsme: I'm personally more comfortable with someone who says: I have some irrational prejudices that I make sure I pay attention to keeping in check VS I carry no prejudices My experience is that the latter almost never is true. Well said. To carry this point a bit further: To assert that a given race (or a given individual, let's ...

  • "White" and "Black" folk, set your price

    If you want White folk to give up television for the rest of their lives, you'll have to give each of them about a million dollars. If you want White folk to be Black folk for the rest of their lives, it will cost you less than 10 grand per head! So indicates the latest study to underscore the fact that most Whites haven't a clue as to what it ...
