Stopping educational fraud is all that is necessary. Earlier this month, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act was

Walter E Williams: Do Blacks Need Favors?
Stopping educational fraud is all that is necessary. Earlier this month, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act was
celebrated. During the act's legislative debate, then-Sen. Hubert
Humphrey, responding to predictions, promised, "I'll eat my hat if this
leads to racial quotas." I don't know whether Humphrey got around to
keeping ... MOREWalter E Williams: Coming End To Racial Preferences
An idea whose time has gone. Last week's U.S. Supreme Court 6-2 ruling in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action et al. upheld Michigan's constitutional amendment that bans racial preferences in admission to its public universities. Justice Sonia Sotomayor lashed out at her colleagues in a bitter dissent, calling them "out of touch ... MOREJoe Atkins: The Police State That Was Mississippi
An ugly history repeats itself. They wanted to know about your
phone calls, your conversations, your meetings with others, your
political leanings, your opinions, your friends, your confidantes, your
extracurricular activities, your religious beliefs, your sexual habits. Armed
with such information, they knew how to deal with you if they ... MOREWalter E Williams: OK To Feel Sorry
The virtue of Dennis Rodman. At one time in our nation's history, blacks feeling sorry for whites was verboten. That was portrayed in Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird." This is a novel published in 1960 — and later made into a movie — about Depression-era racial relations in the Deep South. The novel's ... MORE
Anthony Gregory: License To Kill
Police safety is above citizens' rights and the law. No one knows how many times police shoot and kill Americans every year. Most estimates put the number at a few hundred a year, but we don’t know the details, including how many of these killed people presented a real threat to anyone. The U.S. government does not do body counts, as ... MOREWalter E Williams: Blacks And Obama
The shadow cast by the president's failure. In a March 2008 column, I criticized pundits' concerns about whether America was ready for Barack Obama, suggesting that the more important issue was whether black people could afford Obama. I proposed that we look at it in the context of a historical tidbit. In 1947, Jackie Robinson, after ... MOREJury Duty Gives Us Power To Decide The Law
by Jonathan Carp. In Washington, D.C., Fully Informed Jury Association activist James Babb has placed informative billboards at Metro stations near the courts. These billboards tell passersby about jury nullification, the ancient right of jurors to judge both the facts and the law. The doctrine has a long and venerable history; the right of ...

Pastor Manning risks arrest for passing federal secrets in this video.
Walter E Williams: Would They Be Proud?
Those who struggled for civil rights had higher hopes. One can't imagine the fear in the hearts of the parents of those nine black students who walked past shouting placard-carrying mobs as they entered Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Each day, they were greeted with angry shouts of "Two, four, six, eight, we don't want to ... MOREWalter 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 ... MOREBlack 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" ... MORERace Relations Plummet During The Obama Regime
Racial division a calling card of liberalism. Public attitudes about race relations have plummeted since the historic election of President Barack Obama, according to a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal. Only 52 percent of whites and 38 percent of blacks have a favorable opinion of race relations in the country, ... MOREGrasping for Dignity in the Era of the American Police State
by John W. Whitehead. During a routine traffic stop, Leila Tarantino was allegedly subjected to two roadside strip searches in plain view of passing traffic, while her two children—ages 1 and 4—waited inside her car. During the second strip search, presumably in an effort to ferret out drugs, a female officer “forcibly removed” a tampon from ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Double Jeopardy
Prosecutors display antipathy for Constitution. While the country processes the racial politics-inspired prosecution of George Zimmerman, which came to a conclusion last week, and as the calls to try him in federal court for the same events for which he was acquitted in a state court become louder each day, a case in upstate New York ...

Ronald Bailey: Seven Surprising Truths About The World
A lot of the bad news you think you know is wrong. Did you know that the incidence of cancer in the United States has been declining for nearly 20 years? That the spread of pornography correlates with a decline in rape? That average IQs are going up substantially all around the world? These are just some of the truths that are well-known ... MOREThomas 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
