This summer, Obama issued an executive order calling for equal outcomes in school discipline policies. A racial quota system for school bullies requires that disciplinary action be handed out on the basis of race which terminates any behavior-based school discipline system. But the movement for racially equivalent outcomes is going to bigger places than just your local elementary school. Our criminal justice system punishes crimes based on the harm inflicted on the individual and on society. The redistributive racial justice approach adds another component whose goal is neither the punishment of individual or communal harm, but the balancing out of...

According to the FBI's most recent statistics, where available, twice as many whites are murdered by blacks, numerically, as blacks by whites in the U.S. In the case of 2010 (where reported) 447 vs 218. This means, statistically, that a black (man in this case) is well over 100% more likely to kill a white man than the other way around. BUT WAIT! This math is not complete. Let us also remember that blacks are a "minority" population, representing only 12.8% of the US population. Suppose not so different in Florida. If we devise a "killing per race per race...

Years ago, I visited the home of a fellow black friend. He talked about the "white people" on his job. It struck me that despite years of working with these people, company picnics and sharing birthday cakes in the office, my friend did not relate to his coworkers as Bob, Joe, or Jane. They were monolithically "white people." I'm sure some whites relate to blacks the same way, as a monolithic group rather than individual fellow human beings. Without question, America has zero tolerance for "white racism," while "black racism" is given a pass. Some whites even believe blacks should...

Buried deep inside the new "financial reform" law is a scheme to force affirmative action on small-business lending -- a "reform" with ominous implications for the US economy. Aimed at curtailing supposed discrimination, the race-based lending mandate is guaranteed to have perverse effects -- just like the drive for "racial fairness" in mortgage lending paved the way for the subprime crisis and the 2008 financial meltdown. The new Dodd-Frank banking law sets up a data-collection system to monitor small-business loans for racial bias. Lenders must report if a business that applied for a loan is minority-owned, and whether the application...

Editor’s Note: This piece was co-authored by Ken Blackwell.A situation involving voter intimidation caught on tape has now exploded, as a Justice Department lawyer resigns to be able to tell the truth to the American people that the Obama-Holder Justice Department is allowing voting-rights violations to go unpunished for political reasons. Those responsible must be made to answer for their betrayal of the public trust. The Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has a noble mission: Make sure that no eligible citizen is denied their rights, especially the right to vote. That mandate has a special...

THIS IS HUGE!! I just learned that DOJ transferred the career civil service attorneys who were handling the case out of DC. Possibly to avoid the USCRC subpoenas? Is this a cover-up in progress? TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS!! Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) continues to try get answers from the Obama Justice Department about a voter intimidation case in Philadelphia. The incident which occurred during the 2008 presidential election was summarily dismissed by Eric Holder's office. He has stonewalled efforts to learn why ever since. Mr. Wolf took his case to the House Judiciary Committee. He has introduced ...

It looks like the deeper we look into Harry Reid’s health care monstrosity the worse it looks. A new review of this pile of Marxist dung reveals that blatant racial discrimination is a central thread of this evil cloak. The bill directs the Health and Human Services Secretary (now THE most powerful person in our government surpassing even the Chicago gangster) to give “priority” in the sending $ billions of our tax dollars only to medical schools that discriminate against Whites or face being cut off. Depending upon which section of this bill one reads, it mandates “preferential” treatment for...

The Weekly Standard’s John McCormack reports tonight that Illinois Democrat Sen. Roland Burris is claiming credit for inserting a provision that may benefit ACORN. But it’s not just the ACORN angle that’s scandalous. It’s the race hustler shakedown. Why, oh, why do we need to be funding massive new federal bureaucracies to create separate “Offices of Minority Health” in six separate health care agencies:
