From WSJ: Schlessinger said on “Larry King Live” Tuesday that she “made the decision not to do radio anymore” because she wanted to regain her First Amendment rights and say what’s on her mind. Sure, that’s why she’s quitting…not because her advertisers told her they’re through with her after she blurted out racial obscenities on [...]

Over the past two years I wrote, produced and directed a film called “We Will Make You Whole Again” with my co-director, editor and cinematographer Trevor Hawkins of Mammoth Media. Some of you know this because a couple months back I shared the trailer for the film and told you a little bit about what [...]

Really Arizona legislature? Really Governor Jan Brewer? This is the time when you decide to make this switch? And, from Politico, the text of the bill reads like some of the craziest satire… “Public school pupils should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate [...]

The Tea Party protests last spring could have been the start of something important in American politics had it not been for the vocal group of far right wingers who insisted on leveling all sorts of racially charged attacks at Obama and his supporters. Well, this weekend they’re holding their convention in Nashville, Tennessee and [...]

In the past week, Obama’s approval rating has finally slipped below the 50% mark in Gallup’s daily tracking poll. The reason why? His support among white voters has fallen from 61% to 39%. And that could be a big problem as he looks towards 2012. Or is it such a big problem? Or a completely [...]

One of the most intellectually dishonest political commentators is at it again. What’s weird is his reason for not answering the question. Basically, he says there’s no way he can define “white culture” without getting himself in trouble. And that begs the question…why make a statement that claims Obama has a deep seated hatred for [...]

Here are the facts. Racism has been rising steadily over the last few months. In recent polls, President Obama’s job approval number has dropped from 70% to 50%. This means the percentage of racists in this country has risen from 30% to 50% – a 67% increase in only eight months! Even more alarming, close to one out of two Americans are now racist. We have reached a tipping point. If this trend continues, the racists will soon be in a majority. Now, more than ever, we need the pundits and sages of the mainstream media to speak out.

Some salient discussion of Glenn Beck’s mystifying comments with the Morning Joe crew, sans Morning Joe himself. I think that they are all correct in their assessments. I do want to highlight one thing that Willie Geist touched upon. Around the five minute mark, Geist posits the idea that, had some commentator on the left [...]

“This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture.” – Glenn Beck demonstrating again why he’ll only ever appeal to fringers Here’s the clip… At a certain point, even if you are Fox News, you really [...]

“We’ve got to say to our children, yes, if you’re African American, the odds of growing up amid crime and gangs are higher. Yes, if you live in a poor neighborhood, you will face challenges that someone in a wealthy suburb does not have to face. That’s not a reason to get bad grades. That’s [...]

In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court has reversed the appellate court decision on a controversial race case involving firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut. Previously, the appellate court including Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, ruled that the city of New Haven did nothing wrong by throwing out the results of a promotion exam because no [...]

Looks like I’m not the only one. From Huff Post: “Of course this disturbs me,” said Lionel Sosa, one of the more influential Hispanic media advisers in the GOP. “I’m not surprised at Rush Limbaugh but I’m very surprised at Speaker Gingrich because he is one of the key people who knows the importance of [...]

The last paragraph in SCOTUSblog’s evaluation of her decisions on race says it all… In sum, in an eleven-year career on the Second Circuit, Judge Sotomayor has participated in roughly 100 panel decisions involving questions of race and has disagreed with her colleagues in those cases (a fair measure of whether she is an outlier) [...]

Check out the clip at the BBC. However, I will offer one question to this: do you view Obama as an “African-American” president? Yes, I know he is and it’s a historic day, but (to me at least) he just seems like the President. And maybe that’s the most enduring legacy of MLK’s work…that race [...]

Here’s the deal…if Chip Saltsman can honestly spin this whole flap by saying that those who called him out for his racially insensitivity are simply pandering to the national press, well, the GOP has truly become the party of clueless white people. Politico explores the acute tone deafness: Four days after news broke that the [...]

Along with Michael Steele, Charlie Crist seems to be attempting to move the Republican party into the 21st Century. Here’s a statement he recently put out about the Chip Saltsman/”Barack The Magic Negro” stupidity… As the GOP Chairman in one of our nation’s most ethnically and culturally diverse states, I am especially disappointed by the [...]

As usual, he’s pitch perfect… Yes, the idea that increased African American turnout may have helped passed this ridiculous discrimination so tragically ironic it hurts. I mean…69% supported this ban? In California?? Really??? Truly crazy stuff. And it proves, yet again, that discrimination knows no color and we have a long, long way to go [...]

Yes folks, it was more than just an election. And now we can finally say goodbye to all that.

I’ve been hearing a lot about this lately…the idea that people say they won’t vote for Obama, but when they get into the polls they will. The evidence is obviously all anecdotal, like this story from Salon where a couple voters use the N word in reference to Obama…but say they’re supporting him anyway. And [...]
