Humberto Fontova: Caveat On Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's commitment to liberty. A Martian visiting earth this week, coasting TV channels and perusing papers, would have to conclude that among the items that most interest this planet’s news bureaus is the plight of former political prisoners, especially black ones. Well, many Cubans (many of them black) suffered longer and ... MOREWhen Political Correctness Trumps Human Lives
Thomas Sowell on a very dangerous game. New York City police authorities are investigating a series of unprovoked physical attacks in public places on people who are Jewish, in the form of what is called "the knockout game." The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some ... MOREU.S. Police Have Killed Over 5,000 Civilians Since 9/11
Death by cop 8X more likely than death by terrorist. Though Americans commonly believe law enforcement’s role in society is to protect them and ensure peace and stability within the community, the sad reality is that police departments are often more focused on enforcing laws, making arrests and issuing citations. As a result of this as ... MOREWalter E Williams: Touchy Topics
Here's a question: What is the true test of one's commitment to freedom of expression? Is it when one permits others to express ideas with which he agrees? Or is it when he permits others to express ideas he finds deeply offensive? I'm betting that most people would wisely answer that it's the latter, and I'd agree. How about this question: ... MORE15 Stupid Things Liberals Call Racism Since Obama Elected
by John Hawkins. Bizarrely, racism in America is no longer mainly about race. Sure, race is involved in a peripheral manner, but racism has mainly become an excuse, a dodge, a way to escape responsibility. When a black liberal is criticized, he cries racism. When liberalism fails, liberals cry racism. When the Democrat Party gets in trouble, liberals ... MORE
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 ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Tragedy Of Isolation
Inflicting a handicap on their own people. In the 20th century, Western intellectuals' two most dominant explanations of disparities in economic, educational and other achievements were innate racial differences in ability (in the early decades) and racial discrimination (in the later decades). In neither era were the intelligentsia ... 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, ... MOREBrent 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
Tax Dollars Spent To Organize Anti-Zimmerman Rallies
Look what Judicial Watch happened to find. A conservative watchdog group accused the Justice Department of helping manage the "pressure campaign" last year against George Zimmerman in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, citing documents that show an obscure agency spent thousands assisting local demonstrations. The ... 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, ... MOREJacob Sullum: Why Zimmerman Should Be Acquitted
Emotion should not obscure the evidence. On a rainy night in February 2012 at a gated townhouse complex
in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin stared at
each other, and both perceived a threat. What followed is the focus
of a
murder trial that hinges on specific facts rather than the
overarching, frequently ... MOREPolitical Correctness Costs Big Brother Contestant Her Job
Modeling agency decides free speech good only in theory. A Texas modeling agency is dropping a Big Brother 15 contestant as a client after she spewed racist and homophobic comments on the show’s 24/7 feed. Zephyr Talent of Austin, TX announced on its Facebook page that it will release Aaryn Gries, 22, from her contract after she was ... MORE
