The Reality Of Racists

January 20th, 2012 · No Comments · News, Racism, Republicans

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 [...]

Herman Cain’s Predictable Use Of Race

December 15th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, News, Racism

This didn’t take long:video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player Of all the reasons for Herman Cain’s spectacular flame out, being a brother wasn’t one of them.  In fact I submit it helped him far more than it hurt him in his spectacular rise to the top of the polls. What’s more fascinating is Cain’s persistent calls [...]

Unconscious Thoughts About Race In The South

October 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Democracy, Racism

The dilemma surrounding discussions of race has less to do with conflict between black and white.  It has more to do with the intrinsic value systems inherited by many over generations.  Witness a white southern woman discussing race relations and integration in her small Texas county: Jan Gannaway, a Haskell native who is white, said [...]

Reggie Brown’s Lack Of Self-Awareness

June 19th, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Comedy, Politics, Racism, Republicans

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.  It’s almost as if Brown expected his audience to soak up the venom gladly. Not with the cameras running. I’ve heard worse, but don’t quit your day job Mr. [...]

Obama Sullies The Memories Of The Lost In Joplin

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Comedy, Political Fringe, Racism, Republicans

God Bless Fox News for reporting on what is really important. The president finally decided to put the Guinness down, leave Europe, and pay his respects to those lost in the devastating tornadoes in Joplin. Fox breaks the REAL news.  That news wasn’t the terrific, humbling, unifying speech given by the president.  It wasn’t the [...]

Birtherism Just Won’t Die

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment · america, Democracy, Political Fringe, Racism

Jerome Corsi’s new book, ‘Where is the birth certificate?’ | is #6 on the New York Times bestseller list. 17% of Americans still believe Obama was “definitely or probably” not born in the U.S., even after he produced his long-form birth certificate. No matter the evidence to the contrary, Americans will still chase dragons and [...]

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 [...]

Racism Fuels Newt Gingrich’s Campaign

May 16th, 2011 · No Comments · 2012 Presidential Election, america, Democracy, Politics, Racism

Newt Gingrich has always painted broadly outside the racial lines, and his deft ability to cocoon himself inside of a pseudo-intellectual balloon curries favor for him in conservative circles on issues of race.  This quote deserves and demands more examination: Republican Newt Gingrich told a Georgia audience on Friday evening that the 2012 presidential election [...]
