Our nation stands under attack … not from without but from within. American values, our politics, and our culture have been corrupted.

Trump has taken an aggressive stand against any acknowledgment of racism or other society–sanctioned discrimination in our history as well as any efforts to address these issues. In so doing, he has, not surprisingly, done something that damages the future of our country. First of all, for him to deny, by not acknowledging or letting federal government…

If you are Black or Hispanic and you think Trump will fight for you, think again. Read on. Historically, there has been a sharp difference in the racial makeup of those voting for the two parties. During the last 4 federal elections (presidential and midterm) this was again the pattern. On average during these 4…

I have always thought that Trump was a shrewd person who saw it was to his advantage to sow discord. But recently Trump was invited to appear at a conference of Black journalists and he was interviewed by three journalists. His most oft-quoted remark from that interview is that Kamala Harris is not really Black. Questioning her…

Under Trump, COVID became a pandemic, the economy and the working class suffered, racism and antisemitism increased, and low- and moderate-income people were worse off than before. These are the real facts, not the fake facts that come from Trump and his allies. For proof, read on. COVID – Trump’s mismanagement of COVID was a…

There are of course many negative impacts of racism. The two most frequently noted are discrimination – not allowing people to live the lives they want to live – and violence, both physical and verbal.

There is a separate question that identifies someone as Latino or non-Latino, since one can be Latino…

In 1899, Rudyard Kipling wrote the classic poem, “The White Man’s Burden,” to support America’s imperialist designs to conquer “native” lands, in this case specifically, the Phillippines. The rationalization for the western world’s colonization of the Third World, since it began in the 15th century, was that it was a civilizing mission—and thus the “white…

Over the years, I have written several posts about the necessity for this country to have a serious discussion about racism in order to free not just Blacks* but all Americans from this terrible curse at long last. For example, in April 2019, I wrote a post, “We Need a National Discussion on Race and…

There are many reasons why our country is dysfunctional today on so many levels. Most have to do with the nature of our culture, the “me” perspective, and the insecurity that becomes part of our psyche during our formative years and growing up. But there is another factor which I think has a major impact…

I was trying to define wherein lies the fervor of the supporters of the NRA and the gun lobby. It isn’t their love of guns. It isn’t even that they’re right wing. It’s that they fear being attacked by Blacks, or more broadly, being overwhelmed by Black men and more recently Hispanics. It always comes…
