I don’t think it is possible to deny that racism exists in America. What seems to be in contention is how much of it, and in what form. Of course how to lessen it’s impact and what sort of societal attitudes are useful to do that are also a point of argument. Recently Keith Bardwell, [...]

ed note: You should also read the post at Patterico’s Pontifications for more great commentary on this. Thanks for saving the image! It is no surprise to readers of this blog that there are a lot of folks out there who are temperamentally incapable of not seeing the world through the eyes of victimhood politics. [...]

Racism is on the rise… as a strategy to shut down dissent and debate. During the election we saw the beginnings of this strategy tested, and it worked. If you disagree with Barack Obama, you must be a racist. This attack was used against Hillary Clinton and these days it is turned against everyone from [...]

Ah, the classic battle cry of our times… if something doesn;t go your way and you can claim membership in some victim group, then obviously that is the problem. This has become dramatically more prevalent since Obama has taken office because now the idea has the full weight and propaganda of a major political party [...]

Otherwise, he might have to get a real job. Personally I never got the point of getting yourself arrested in some lame protest, but to Sharpton [...]

There has been a lot of hand wringing in the last few days about Obama finally realizing that lot’s of folks in America are offended by being called genocidal scum. I think it shows how out of touch many in the left are that they really thought their self hatred was so common that people [...]

Well Obama finally did the right thing, but it was about the least convincing turnabout ever. This is Obama discussing Write back when he wanted to try and mollify us… "As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not [...]

James Cone is another of these "old time" racists. What you might call a fire and brimstone kind of racist. "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and [...]
