Newt Gingrich’s efforts to cast himself as the white knight, cleaving through the murk of blacks leeching off government, exposed more than the seedy opportunistic side of politics–It laid bare an electorate fueled by racist mores. The interesting part about being a racist is the not so subtle manner in which you promote your racist [...]

Living While Black In New York City
December 21st, 2011 · No Comments · america, News, Racism
I try not to riff off of another blogger’s work, even though there are a significant number of writers I admire greatly. But when I read this piece on Ta-Nehisi Coates’ blog regarding an op-ed written by a young black man in New York City, I had to link to it. Here’s the dagger for [...]

I wouldn’t say these jokes about Barack Obama are racially charged. They may push the envelope on good taste though. More broadly, they lack certain sensibilities.

Affirmative Action II: American Privilege
May 19th, 2011 · No Comments · america, Democracy, Politics, Racism
That’s the price of affirmative action. It taints black achievements, in the mind of many, with the question of “would this man have succeeded without race preferences” even in cases where the answer is undoubtedly “yes!” The only price of affirmative action is the misguided attempts at disproving its usefulness in American society. Whatever your [...]
