It is fitting, if late, that South Carolina’s political leaders seem ready to evict the Confederate flag from the grounds of their state Capitol in response to the vile shooting that left nine African-Americans dead in Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church last week. In a Monday news conference while flanked by Democrats and fellow Republicans, Gov. […]

America, Not Dylann Roof, Should Be Forgiven

In an expression of extraordinary magnanimity, relatives of the black church members murdered in Charleston, S.C., arose one after the other to tell Dylann Roof, the murderer of their loved ones, that they forgive him.

Now, higher education in America is centered on indoctrination and one such dedicated propagandist appeared on MSNBC recently to blame the recent Charleston shooting on Americans as a whole, who she claims are “white supremacists” who treat citizens […]

11 People Shot And One Killed At A Block Party On A Basketball Court In Detroit

Taste the irony… The shooting comes one day after, and a few miles away from the Linwood and Pingree area where 5th District Detroit City Councilwoman Mary Sheffield launched the “Occupy the Corner Detroit” initiative to combat violence and empower residents to improve the quality of their neighborhoods. More Progressive programs that don’t work, while […]
