I didn’t say it. Morgan Freeman said it. In an interview with NPR to promote his latest film, The Magic of Belle Isle, the popular Oscar-winning actor said that people “conveniently forget that Barack had a mama, and she was white — very white American, Kansas, middle of America There

Cedartown, Georgia, is a quiet town. It’s about 15 miles from my office. When my wife and I drive to her mother’s home in Alabama, we go through Cedartown. Last week there was a gruesome murder. A 27-year-old woman with a four-year-old daughter was stabbed to death. She was delivering

It’s been said that people are known by the company they keep. President Obama has gotten a great deal of praise from some rather unusual people. Although he has not directly sought out their endorsements, it’s interesting to note who’s supporting him. The daughter of Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, praised

Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, said the following on Al Sharpton’s program: “We’re headed in the right direction. Unemployment continues to drop and those people who are unemployed, they’re not going to be voting for the party who wants to cut their benefits, cut access to food stamps,

The George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin spectacle has done more to set back race relations in the United States than any other event in recent history. It’s been all about race. There’s justice somewhere in all of this, but will it ever be found? That’s the question that needs to be answered.

The Trayvon Martin shooting has become a media event. It’s becoming evident that we do not have all the facts and liberals have turned the tragedy into something political. Hashim Nzinga, a high ranking member of the New Black Panther Party, announced on CNN that his group was offering a

The killing of Trayvon Martin is tragic. I suspect, however, that few people know the whole story. This doesn’t matter to Democrats who are using the tragedy to fire up their liberal base, especially among those in the Black community. Even President Obama has gotten involved. “If I had a

Al Sharpton is known as a “professional poverty pimp” and a “race hustler,” to use the phrase coined by economist Walter E. Williams. Sharpton sells poverty to the highest bidder. For the past 30 years that’s been the Democrats. He tells his fellow-Blacks that if they vote for Democrats, life

Newt Gingrich made some media waves with his comments about how poor kids should be taught how to work, including taking jobs at the schools they attend to perform janitorial work. As usual, Poverty-Pimp Al Sharpton took offense. In case you haven’t heard Newt’s remarks, here are a few of

Accusations are not evidence of guilt. Do you remember the Al Sharpton/Tawana Brawley incident? “In 1987, when she was 15 years old, Brawley received media attention when she accused six white men, some of whom were police officers, of raping her.” Sharpton got involved and hyped the story. “After hearing

The media are reporting that Herman Cain was involved in sexually harassing two employees while running the National Restaurant Association. Actually, he was accused of sexual harassment. Accusations of this type happen all the time. What constitutes sexual harassment is in the eye of the beholder. I heard radio talker

Black racists are coming out of the woodwork. It’s hard to imagine how vile and bigoted they are in their attacks on Herman Cain. Such treatment has a long history. Today, it’s an industry. A number of black “leaders” (e.g., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have made their living by
