During my youth race steadily became less of an issue in America. Furthermore, remarkable gains were made in the years prior to my youth. The contrast between my experience after first moving to the South in 1970 and my father’s experience when the Army sent him to Fort Benning, Georgia just seventeen years earlier isContinue reading “Can We All Just Get Along?”

Crockett’s Bizarre Race Argument
Representative Jasmine Crockett recently spoke on racism during a Congressional session. Her words were typical of so many regarding race today. Nothing shocks any longer; still, I am bothered to hear an elected official speak such nonsense. I will assume Representative Crockett believes she and her party represent truth and goodness. She speaks passionately, afterContinue reading “Crockett’s Bizarre Race Argument”
Who are the Actual Racists?
We need a discussion about the actual problems of racism, not the phony ones we hear continually. It is commonly accepted among liberals that Republicans are racists and have all sorts of other “ism” problems. “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basketContinue reading “Who are the Actual Racists?”
Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court
Affirmative action for minorities began in the 1960s as an effort to restore racial justice. Sixty years later, the U.S. Supreme Court is ending one aspect of it (hopefully). Using racism to end racism has never made sense and finally someone with authority has declared the emperor has no clothes. Affirmative action (per Wikipedia): aContinue reading “Racist Policy Finally Struck Down by Supreme Court”
What Does the Reaction to Jordan Neely’s Death Say About our Culture?
Was the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man who succumbed on a NYC subway train, an accident or further demonstration of white supremacy? The question should not even be debated. Rational thought can explain such events, but too many (especially those whose job it is to inform us) have abandoned such thought; consequently, truthContinue reading “What Does the Reaction to Jordan Neely’s Death Say About our Culture?”
Discussion: Systemically Racist Appraisals
I asked my liberal debating friend about this Rasmussen poll question: “Is it okay to be white?” I hope we all believe it is acceptable to be white, black, or to possess any other immutable trait. Yet, this disappointing result says I am viewed as problematic by a large percentage of people who don’t evenContinue reading “Discussion: Systemically Racist Appraisals”
Let’s Fight the Culture War. It Should be Easy Against These Folks.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Trump press secretary and now governor of Arkansas, gave the State of the Union rebuttal last week. She defined the contrast in America today: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/sarah-huckabee-sanders-gives-republican-response-to-biden-full-text-11675829909 The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal or crazy. She re-iterated the point: And while youContinue reading “Let’s Fight the Culture War. It Should be Easy Against These Folks.”
Everything is White Supremacy, even When it is Not
Rev. Al Sharpton said that Tyre Nichols, beaten to death by Memphis police last month, would not have been beaten to death if he were white. How does he know that? “There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds outContinue reading “Everything is White Supremacy, even When it is Not”
Sesame Place and the Lie of Systemic Racism
Two stories, juxtaposed in the news this week, demonstrate the lie we live with continually. America today is not a racist country. Americans are as tolerant a people as has ever lived and we live in a society as diverse as any that has ever existed. The political elites want it to be a racistContinue reading “Sesame Place and the Lie of Systemic Racism”
The Bigotry of Low Expectations (and the Failure of the Systemic Racism Narrative)
Today, I consider damning words provided me from a teacher friend at a local public school. I still hear many say it is possible to get a good education in public school; motivated kids can and often still do well. There are bright spots in public education for sure, but the overall package is stillContinue reading “The Bigotry of Low Expectations (and the Failure of the Systemic Racism Narrative)”
