What’s loud isn’t what’s popular. Your decibel level you play your music at doesn’t make your music better. Rush will always be better than hip-hop, regardless of how loud you listen to hip-hop while driving through my neighborhood after 9pm. The same concept works with ideas. Yet, people tend to have a different reaction to…
The FDA, under the Biden Administration, announced in late April that it would move to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes in an effort to curve health disparities between black and white Americans. The proposed ban, however, has implications that reach far past its stated purpose and is set to be a far-reaching, all-out war on the civil…
Born the white-looking bastard son of a dark-skinned Virginia woman in the segregated ‘50s, I easily identify with Fredi Washington’s “Peola,” a light-skinned lass passing for white, in the 1934 film classic “Imitation of Life.” “White passing” is a loathsome, offensive phrase. No one is responsible for the physical cues that others take from one’s…
By K. Lee I had a conversation with my brother in Oregon, last night. Besides the usual family matters, he brought up a call he received from a ‘friend.’ The friend wanted to check on my brother and the family amidst rising violence toward Asian Americans. While my brother appreciated the gesture, he told his…
It appears that President Joe Biden and progressives will not be able to sneak in a $15 minimum wage increase into a 1.9 trillion dollar Covid-19 relief bill. This disabled Libertarian couldn’t be happier that the wage will not make it through the legislative process—at least for now—as minimum wage laws can trace their roots…
Kaylee Greenlee A white man was hit in the face with a can of Twisted Tea and beaten to the ground after repeatedly calling a black man racial slurs at a convenience store in Ohio, video shows. The harasser repeatedly told a black man waiting to check out nearby that he would do a series…
Corporate America has gotten the message from Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi. It is now searching for racism and white fragility. Meetings are being held. Video calls are being staged. One by one, members of the corporation are asked to say they are racists. And one by one, dutifully they do. Racism is a vile…
With the November election just around the corner, it’s only to be expected that President Trump would seek to rally conservative voters and drive his supporters to the polls. So, when his administration, on September 4, instructed the federal government to eliminate all training in “Critical Race Theory,” some thought it was just a red-meat…
Recently, New York University students petitioned university administrators to designate segregated housing for black and black-identifying students while white nationalist Richard Spencer gave his support to Joe Biden and, well, the entire Democratic ticket. It shouldn’t be any surprise that this turn of events was on the horizon. After all, social justice warriors have been…
On the 2nd night of the Republican National Convention, First Lady of the United States Melania Trump was a featured speaker. Watch a short clip from her presentation below: pic.twitter.com/9V7ZdU9gdB — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 26, 2020 Bette Midler apparently doesn’t care for Melania’s accent much. Midler took to Twitter to disparage Melania’s English…
