America should be a free speech zone. Cliven Bundy should be happy for the public revelation of the private comments of fellow racist Donald Sterling; the latter has replaced the former as the person Americans most love to hate. These two bigots recently spewed racial hatred: Bundy suggesting that African-Americans might do ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Equality In Discipline
A discipline based on quotas not behavior. George Leef, director of research for the North Carolina-based John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, authored a Forbes op-ed article titled "Obama Administration Takes Groupthink To Absurd Lengths." The subtitle is "School Discipline Rates Must Be 'Proportionate.'" Let's ... MORE
Should Bigots Be Allowed To Exclude Gays And Blacks?
by Sheldon Richman. We can oppose bigotry without politicians. Should the government coercively sanction business owners who, out of apparent religious conviction, refuse to serve particular customers? While such behavior is repugnant, the refusal to serve someone because of his or her race, ethnicity, or sexual ... MORE

Should White NFL Owners Shackle Black Language?
New rule targets black players. The NFL is expected to consider a new rule
that would see players receive a 15-yard penalty if they use the N-word
on the field. Michael Wilbon, an opponent of the potential rule, used
the word on live television Monday to make his point. Wilbon, co-host of ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption, argues that although it ... MORE

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 ... MORE

When 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 ... MORE
U.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 ... MORE

Walter 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: ... MORE
15 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 ... MORE

Thomas 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 ... 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
