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...

If you want to know what makes President Barack Obama tick, take a look at his explanation for why Israelis have turned against him. During an interview with Israel’s Channel Two, Obama was asked why he thinks Israelis mistrust him. “Some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein,” he told the interviewer, “and that creates suspicion. Some of it may have to do with the fact that I have actively reached out to the Muslim community, and I think that sometimes — particularly in the Middle East — there’s the feeling of the friend...

The USDA's rural development director for Georgia says she was forced out of her federally appointed job after a "snippet" of a speech she gave in March appeared to show her admission to only half-heartedly aiding a struggling white farmer because of his race. But in a phone interview from her home in Albany early Tuesday morning, Shirley Sherrod told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution that the two-minute, 38-second video posted online Monday by biggovernment.com and reported on by FoxNews.com and the AJC completely misconstrued the message she was trying to convey. Sherrod, 62, insisted her statements in the video were not...

Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign. (snip) The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned. More at link.

Where’s the national outrage against the Black Panther Party’s racist tomes and its call to kill white people? Where’s the national leadership from our President, who’s very ascendency to the nation’s top office was supposed to forever close the racial divide in America? Why aren’t more people outraged at this kind of incitement of violence and call for civil war? And what about the action of the federal Department of Justice to drop charges against the Black Panthers for voter intimidation during the election that seated Obama to the White House? That case was apparently open-and-shut until Attorney General Eric...

Justice: A former top official charges the Justice Department with practicing racial politics and selective prosecution in the Black Panther voter-intimidation case. Are we a "nation of cowards," or is it just Holder's DOJ? In February, on the occasion of Black History Month, Attorney General Eric Holder called the United States a "nation of cowards" regarding discussions of race even as his department was failing to prosecute one of the clearest cases of voter intimidation in American history because the defendants were black militants, members of the New Black Panther Party.

Armed thugs representing Obama can now preside over polling booths, this has now been determined as a precedent by the Obama Justice Department and apparently will be the law of the land.  The Obama Justice Department sees no problem with jack booted thugs wielding night sticks if they support the Obama White House. J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department attorney who resigned from the justice Dept. this month over the incident, reports: The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career. Because of the corrupt...
