Walter E Williams: Wasn't Always This Way
A conclusion not supported by the facts. Academics and public intellectuals, who should know better, attempt to explain the highly visible and publicized pathology witnessed in cities such as Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Ferguson and others as a legacy of slavery. The argument is made that the problems encountered by many black Americans ... MOREMaria Boynton: Atlanta NAACP Says “They Can Sand Blast Lee, Jefferson Davis, And Jackson” Off Stone Mountain
Ethnic grievance industry pushes for history rewrite. The Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP is calling for the removal of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain Park. Local chapter president Richard Rose says, “It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy, paid for and maintained, with ... MOREThomas Sowell: Is The Civil War Over?
Ethnic grievance industry focused on the past. In the wake of the recent murders in a South Carolina church, the killer's hope of igniting a race war produced the opposite effect. Blacks and whites in South Carolina came together to condemn his act and the race hate behind it. Some saw in the decision to remove the Confederate flag from ... MOREWalter E Williams: Fiddling Away The Future
Let's list major problems affecting black Americans. Topping the list is the breakdown in the black family, where only a third of black children are raised in two-parent households. Actually, the term "breakdown" is incorrect. Families do not form in the first place. Nationally, there is a black illegitimacy rate of 72 percent. ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Improving Black Education
Use free market competition. Last summer's Ferguson, Missouri, disturbances revealed that while blacks were 67 percent of its population, only three members of its 53-officer police force were black. Some might conclude that such a statistic is evidence of hiring discrimination. That's a possibility, but we might ask what percentage of blacks met ... MOREWalter E Williams: The True Black Tragedy
Keeping blacks on the liberal plantation. Hustlers and people with little understanding want us to believe that today's black problems are the continuing result of a legacy of slavery, poverty and racial discrimination. The fact is that most of the social pathology seen in poor black neighborhoods is entirely new in black history. Let's look ... MOREBaltimore’s Missing Fathers
by Ken Blackwell and Rob Schwarzwalder. The rioting in Baltimore is disturbing to all Americans, as the unresolved cause of Freddie Gray’s death while in police custody should be as well. It is right that political and religious leaders, community groups, business organizations and law enforcement officials are commenting about all the ... MOREThomas Sowell: Race, Politics and Lies
Behavior matters and so do facts. Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri — but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by ... MOREWalter E Williams: Selma And Voting Rights
Today's problem not about discrimination. March 7th was the 50th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," the first attempt by black protesters to march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery to demand voting rights. Their march was brutally halted by Alabama state troopers acting under the orders of Gov. George Wallace. The protesters weren't ... MOREMatthew Boyle: Rand Paul Blows Away Liberal Black Audience With Conservative Message & Founder's Vision
Kentucky senator hits it out of the park at Boise State. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was a hit speaker on the campus of Bowie State University on Friday, earning several rounds of applause and a standing ovation for the conservative message he delivered to a predominantly liberal audience at the historically black university—part of an ... MOREWalter E Williams: Scary School Stories
Poor education is not stemming from racism. New York's schools are the most segregated in the nation, and the state needs remedies right away. That was Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch's message to New York's governor and Legislature. She said that minority children are disproportionately trapped in schools that lack teaching talent, ... MORERight From The Dashcam: Seattle PD’s Arrest Of Black Man Is Every Problem With The Justice System In A Nutshell
A law unto themselves. If there were a video and accompanying story that could be used as a
textbook example of every problem with our criminal justice system, this
is it. First, watch the cruiser cam video (you only need watch from
1:40 to 7:40). What the video shows is Wingate standing motionless at the crosswalk and Officer Whitlatch ... MOREWalter E Williams: Liberals' Use Of Black People
Cover for the liberal agenda. Back in the day, when hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their quarry. They would walk on the opposite side of the horse until they were close enough to place a good shot on whatever they were hunting. A stalking horse not only concealed them but ... MORE
