“Our country’s whole identity is founded on the pillaging and murder of Native people and chattel slavery,” she said. It would help to acknowledge that, she said.”

Looks like somebody’s been to college and taken some black history courses.

A dark skinned man got a major award, by telling another persons story and putting his name on it, but turning a work of fiction into a family history. The first magic negro was Alex Haley, the second was Bathhouse Barry.

The Left is taking exactly the right approach to entice all those rural white former Democrats back into the fold - tell them that you can’t wait for them to die. Carry on.

A story that turned out to be complete BS, no less.

Richton Park is one of the south suburban Chicago suburbs used as a dumping ground when the highrise projects on the South and West sides of the city were demolished in the 90s. It has been spiraling into the ground ever since.

She racially forgot the Indentured Servitude of millions of Irishmen, far worse than the slavery of blacks who were valued at 20x the Irishman.

There will never be a time when certain groups don’t like other groups.

It can be race,class,,nationality,clan,religion or tribe but complete tolerance by and for all groups will NEVER happen.

Summer thought of herself as biracial until she went to college. When she started referring to herself as a black woman, that became another point of contention.

“My mom doesn’t understand,” she said. “She feels like that’s an affront to her.”


Gee Summer, ya think? You deny your mother’s half of your heritage, and then you get confused as to why she’s a little annoyed at you?

Seems like the same problem that resulted in our soon to be ex-president: a biracial kid is abandoned by the black side of the family and embraced by the white side, yet the kid grows up to embrace a black identity and dislike whites. The more of this stuff I see, the more I think that interracial pairings aren’t such a great idea.

As a black man born in Mississippi in the early 1960s, Elijah lived with state-sponsored racism. He was in fourth grade when his school integrated. When he was in high school, there was a black homecoming court and a white homecoming court, a black "Mr. and Miss High School" and a white "Mr. and Miss High School."

This is rich. So in only 50 years, lacks have DEMANDED their own awards shows, their own homecomings and now colleges are acceding to demands by blacks for segregated dorms. Yup, whites won't quit holding them down.

Yes. I was wondering whether she was married to the paragon of virtue that gave her 4 biracial kids.

I'm certain that he is an excellent role model for his children and has supported her financially.

I'd enjoy hearing from the dad.

Really except for reading Thomas Sowell nobody would know about this. Leftists in the school systems won’t be teaching it to the kids.

If she is competent then claiming to be black means a subsidized education and a guarantee of a job.

If you want to cure your white liberal daughter of her attitudes about race — have her go to work at a place which is primarily staffed by black women.

Of course not its human nature, AND, so what. People are entitled to their own standards and opinions. The race pimps have elevated racism for fun and PROFIT. And the government forces dozens of race-based programs on whites—do I need to list them. They control it and it brings them power at our expense.

Honestly, I believe a large portion of the AA community would welcome a race war.

I went to undergraduate university in Baltimore. The school rag was full of AA columnists who whined incessantly about the supposed lack of opportunity due to racism that was holding them down--while they were going to university where they were presumably getting the higher education that brings greater success. In conjunction with that, they wrote of desperately longing for race wars--they longed for a bloodbath, although they could not explain what they expected such a bloodbath would accomplish.

This was back in the 1990s.
