According to a new poll from the Wall Street Journal and NBC News, race relations in Obama's America are worse than they've been at any point in the last 20 years. Only 34% of Americans now say that race relations are "fairly good" or "very good," down substantially from the 77% who believed in racial unity immediately after Obama took office. "This is a very sad chart," said pollster Bill McInturff. "It's a reminder of what a continued rupture point in our country race is." Tellingly, many news reports noted that the last time Americans saw race relations with this...

How President Barack Obama spent the eighth day of his family's holiday vacation in Hawaii on Saturday: — MORNING AT HOME: President Obama stayed at his Kailua vacation home until late morning on a sunny day on Oahu. — BEACH TIME: Obama and the first family headed to Bellows Air Force Station to hit the beach for the third day in a row. As the motorcade arrived, several dozen beachgoers and families waved and flashed the "shaka" sign on a breezy day. — DINNER WITH FRIENDS: The first couple left their rented home Saturday evening and had dinner with friends...

The Supreme Court Is Going To End Affirmative Action As We Know It Erin FuchsOct. 9, 2012, 8:00 AMA University of Michigan student protests a ban on affirmative action. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in one of the most politically charged cases of the term – a challenge to the University of Texas at Austin's affirmative action policy. The Supreme Court last upheld affirmative action in 2003, ruling the University of Michigan could use race as one factor to achieve a "critical mass" of minorities necessary for a diverse student body. But a lot has changed since...

There was a time until the early 1960s when the terms to describe those of African decent, like me -- African-American or Black or Afro-American -- were almost unheard of. I remember a distinct conversation with a friend discussing descriptive terms for ourselves in 1963 or ’64. The term “black” was just coming into vogue and he didn’t like it one bit. “Call me a Negro,” he said, “but don’t call me black.” Now, the word “Negro” (publications used a lower case “n”) has almost become a pejorative, so I was a little surprised when my pastor, the Rev. Willie...

The competition between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson was classic. Perhaps the most magnificent truth between Blacks and Whites in America can be found in the history of that rivalry. I also grew up at the close of the greatest period of Black or Negro accomplishments in the...

"To give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation [concentration camps] or sterilization", advocated the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger in April 1932 ("A Plan For Peace", Birth Control Review; see 'appendix' for this full unabridged seminal article). Which country pioneered forced sterilization in the 20th century, Germany or the United States of America? The German program began in January 1934, but the U.S. state of Indiana passed a forced sterilization law (for mental defectives) in 1907 (when Adolf Hitler was 18 years old). Before the German...(cont'd http://www.spectacle.org/997/richmond.html)

The Senate's embattled majority leader is moving ahead with an “African Americans for Harry Reid” event this week as he seeks to weather a political firestorm sparked by his racially insensitive remarks about President Barack Obama. The timing of the launch of the “African Americans for Harry Reid” campaign group, which is scheduled for Thursday in Las Vegas, is coincidental. The luncheon had been scheduled for weeks. Reid has apologized for remarks he made in 2008 that described Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." The comments were reported in a new...

Here is video of Ann Coulter and Al Sharpton going at it tonight on Geraldo over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's statement that Barack Obama is "light-skinned" and has "no Negro Dialect." Reid made the statements in 2008 when Obama was running for the Democrat Nomination. Coulter at one point in the video looks at Sharpton and asks him, "Did he ask you to stop using your negro dialect too?" . . . (VIDEO)

What is this world coming to? Another day brings another definition of love, marriage, religion, truth, civil rights and the church. Can anyone remember when there was more confusion? Only in a culture bombarded by "tolerance" could these issues be debated with any seriousness. It has been said loudly and proudly that gay marriage is a civil-rights issue. If that's the case, then gays would be the new African-Americans. I'm here to tell you now, and hopefully for the last time, that the gay community is not the new "African-American" community. In fact, I think Christians are the new Negro...

Even after the Juan Williams "idiots at CNN" rebuke, CNN still pressed on about Bill OÂ’ReillyÂ’s race remarks, and a guest on WednesdayÂ’s "Newsroom" took the language being used against OÂ’Reilly and Williams to new lows. Syracuse University professor and blogger Boyce Watkins appeared on the CNN program, and compared OÂ’Reilly to a murderous movie villain and to Iranian president Ahmadinejad. "If the villain in a movie comes up and says, 'I love you very much,' that usually means he wants to kill you. The fact is that Bill O'Reilly is a guy who has made a career demeaning, degrading,...
