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

Obama Puts His Daddy Hat On, Again

by M. Catherine Evans.   Since when is it a president's place to advise people in their personal moral and spiritual journey? For five years, he's been preaching to white people on how they should act. Yesterday, President Obama  piped up once again on how the Trayvon Martin tragedy should move us all to be a little less racist. Predictably, he    ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: Go See Copperhead The Movie

Don’t give up on Hollywood.     I just had the exciting opportunity to pre-screen Gettysburg director Ron Maxwell’s third Civil War movie premiering Friday, June 28. If you see just one movie this summer, make it Copperhead. Copperhead is worth seeing because it re-tells American history with an intimate, engaging and non-textbook approach.    ... 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

Walter E Williams: The Reality Of Abraham Lincoln

The politically-incorrect reality.   Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" has been a box-office hit and nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including best picture, best director and best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis, who portrayed our 16th president. I haven't seen the movie; therefore, this column is not about the movie but about a man deified by many. My colleague  ... MORE

Walter E Williams: What You Can't Say

Don't attempt to explain slavery to children.     Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has a book, titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative." Among its statements for which Hubbard has been criticized and disavowed by the Republican Party is, "The institution of slavery that the     ... MORE

Roger D. Luchs: Hope And Chains

Democrats have made a living playing blacks.       Joe Biden's comment "They gon' put y'all back in chains" has shone a light on a truth the Democratic Party and its adjutants in the media have suppressed for over half a century.  That is that the party's electoral victories have been built upon the suppression of the aspirations of many of the   ...

Thomas Sowell: Obama's Dreams

The primary danger of confident ignorance. After reading Barack Obama's book "Dreams from My Father," it became painfully clear that he has not been searching for the truth, because he assumed from an early age that he had already found the truth — and now it was just a question of filling in the details and deciding how to change things. Obama did not   ...

Lars Walker: Coexisting With Our Forefathers

Will young people understand the mindset of their ancestors? On the Fourth of July a friend and I visited Historic Fort Snelling in St. Paul, a reconstruction of the old fort as it looked about 1820. An interpreter, greeting us in uniform and shako, asked us if we'd ever been there before. I said I had, but it had been a while. "Well, we've made a few    ... MORE
