In their war against traditional societal norms, leftist progressives sometimes elevate deeply flawed persons to near iconic status while villifying their perceived oppressors. Nowhere is this illustrated more clearly than in the case of George Floyd. Floyd was not an evil man, yet he was seriously flawed. Reading a brief biography, it appears that he […]
I don’t usually remember my dreams, but last night I had one that was vivid and frightening. In this dream, Joeseph Biden, under pressure from Democrat Party insiders, withdrew his name as candidate for the Presidency. At their August convention the Democrats then united around an all- female slate consisting of Hillary Clinton and Kamala […]
I don’t remember the title or the author, but sometime in the 1950s I read a science fiction story in which the colored races of the world rose up in righteous anger and killed all the whites. I believe there is a conscious or subliminal desire for white racial genocide on the part of some […]
Haiti is in turmoil. That unhappy land has descended into chaos, and thousands are fleeing the country. Many seek refuge in the United States, putting more pressure on our already broken immigration system. Haiti has a sad and turbulent history. Under French rule, it was the most profitable of all European colonies in the New […]
On June 25, 1876, five companies of the 7th United States Cavalry Regiment, totaling about 210 men, were wiped out by a force of 2,000 to 2,500 American Indians in the Battle of Little Big Horn. It is a storied event in the history of the American west. Less than three years later, on January […]
Race and racism remain a big issue in 2024. America has experienced a turbulent racial history. Blacks endured more than two hundred years of chattel slavery until freed by a bloody civil war. They continued to suffer legal and de facto discrimination for another hundred years. But that all changed during the past sixty years. […]
White privilege is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-whites in some societies, even if these non-whites may otherwise enjoy the same social, political, or economic circumstances. It is thought to have its roots in European colonialism and the slave trade. Institutions, laws and practices developed, often subtle, that served to protect white […]
A debate about Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been in the news recently. Some fear that teaching this theory is being pushed throughout the Federal government and the nation’s military services, and they fear its effect. Critical race theory asserts that white supremacy exists in America and its existence is maintained though the nation’s laws […]
Conservative political commentator Steven Hayward recently observed that “for the left, it’s racism all the way down. It explains everything, and has to be incorporated into everything now. Except when climate change explains everything, and has to be incorporated into everything.” I would add sexism. For the left, sexism explains everything that racism and climate […]
A dear daughter-in-law recently responded to my post entitled “The Big Lie.” In that post I vigorously denied the oft made charge that America is systemically racist. She suggested that I check out “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man,” to get a reality check. Well, I checked it out, and this is my response. I […]
