And some what to further raise minimum wage. Friday's jobs report was disappointing, but it also contained a truly heartbreaking statistic. Black teen unemployment is a shocking 41.6%. In July last year, the unemployment was considerably lower, at 36%. That almost half of black teens who want to work can't find jobs is a stain on ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Black Self-Sabotage
Volunteering for the chains of the left. If we put ourselves into the shoes of racists who seek to sabotage black upward mobility, we couldn't develop a more effective agenda than that followed by civil rights organizations, black politicians, academics, liberals and the news media. Let's look at it. First, weaken the black family, but don't blame it ... MORE

Black America's True Nemesis Is Not George Zimmerman
by Lloyd Marcus. In the midst of all the racial hullabaloo stirred up by so-called advocates for black empowerment after the Zimmerman trail, guess who is really being harmed? Answer: black America. All of you black pastors, black politicians, and black celebs who have joined Sharpton and the MSM's lynch mob to "get Zimmerman" ... MORE

Brent Bozell: America, Forever Racist?
Racism has great utility for the left. The central criticism of the George Zimmerman trial is that there was one. It was simply impossible to convict him of anything beyond a reasonable doubt. The central criticism of the coverage of this trial was that there was any. How did this story merit consideration as national news? Why was the death of ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Who Is Racist?
Just how old is Thomas Sowell? I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white. Apparently other Americans also recognize that the sources of racism are different today from what they were in the past. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31 percent of blacks think that most blacks are racists, ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Black Education Tragedy
A dysfunctional system on trial. As if more evidence were needed about the tragedy of black education, Rachel Jeantel, a witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman murder trial, put a face on it for the nation to see. Some of that evidence unfolded when Zimmerman's defense attorney asked 19-year-old Jeantel to read a letter ... MORE

The War On Pot Is Insanely Racist & Insanely Expensive
by Mike Riggs. Across the United States--north, east, south, west--blacks are more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession. That's the conclusion of a new ACLU report that compares arrest data from 945 counties across the country. "In 2010, the Black arrest rate for marijuana possession was 716 per 100,000, while ... MORE

Thomas DiLorenzo: The Real LIncoln In His Own Words
What did Abe really believe about racial equality? After writing two books and dozens of articles, and giving hundreds of radio and television interviews and public presentations on the subject of Lincoln and the political economy of the American "Civil War"over the past fifteen years, I have realized that the only thing the average American ...

Thomas Sowell: Tests And Tiger Moms
Inducing poverty with political correctness. New York City's Stuyvesant High School is one of those all too rare public schools for intellectually outstanding students. Such students are often bored to death in schools where the work is geared to the lowest common denominator, and it is by no means uncommon for very bright ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Black Unemployment
Let's look at the causes. A couple of weeks ago, Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson, speaking at The National Press Club, said the nation "would never tolerate white unemployment at 14 and 15 percent." Black unemployment has been double that of white Americans for more than 50 years. The black youth unemployment rate is more ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Intellectuals And Race
Who creates the greatest hurdle to blacks? After reading Dr. Thomas Sowell's latest book, "Intellectuals and
Race," one cannot emerge with much respect for the reasoning powers of
intellectuals, particularly academics, on matters of race. There's so
much faulty logic and downright dishonesty. Many intellectuals attribute the behavior patterns ... MORE
