  • Will Derek Chauvin Be Freed? There’s Now a Serious Challenge to the Ex-cop’s Conviction

    By Selwyn Duke Alfred Dreyfus, Leo Frank, the Scottsboro Boys, Stefan Kiszko — legion are the cases of men being wrongly convicted, then exonerated. And now a question arises: Will the case of ex-cop Derek Chauvin, found guilty in 2021 of killing criminal George Floyd, someday be among them? The answer will be yes if…

  • NY Times Op-ed Writer Slams Whites: “You Lost”; “Your Culture Sucks”

    By Selwyn Duke Reacting to invasion (im)migration trends years ago, Ambassador Alan Keyes put it bluntly. “We’re being colonized,” he said. And if ever there was proof of this, and the low quality of many post-1965 newcomers—and of the lie of “diversity”—it’s a viral video posted by one Wajahat Ali. Mr. Ali is a Pakistani-descent…

  • Beyond the Cotton Field: How “Racist” Was Pre-Civil-Rights-Era America, Really?

    By Selwyn Duke The story of George Franklin Grant, a dentist, academic and recreational golfer, is interesting. This isn’t just because he, a Harvard professor, invented a wood-composite golf tee in 1899. It’s that under many Americans’ conception of history, he shouldn’t even have existed. You see, Grant was a successful black man in the…

  • Want Slavery Reparations? Go Ask Muslim Countries, Says Scholar

    By Selwyn Duke It’s arguable that the people who complain about slavery most actually may love it, in a perverse way. After all, it provides so many with excuses for failure, anti-Western talking points, and opportunities to extract hand-outs. Just consider “reparations,” which are now continually demanded (by people enslaved only by their own indoctrination).…

  • Thanks to Trump, Black D.C. Residents Are “Living the Singapore Life”

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke With the Washington, D.C., murder rate having dropped 70-plus percent since the Trump administration deployed the National Guard to patrol the city’s streets, numerous black lives have been saved. And while most Democratic politicians, other leftists, and establishment media aren’t impressed with this, many black D.C. residents…

  • The (Once) Mainstream Media’s War on Blacks

    By Selwyn Duke During a 2012 radio discussion, black economics professors Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell warned that the KKK couldn’t do as much to sabotage blacks as their “friends” could. Of course, the term “friends” was being used very loosely. At issue, in reality, were the wolves in sheep’s clothing who purport to be blacks’…

  • To Nix a Classic or Not? Cancel Culture Just Can’t Make Up Its Mind

    Image credit: Amazon.com By Selwyn Duke It’s ironic, but the same people who often don’t even know what boys and girls are may seem to be cocksure about what should be canceled. Then again, awash in their characteristic relativism, some of them aren’t even sure about that. Consider one Charlotte Gordon, “distinguished professor of humanities”…

  • Good Jeans, Bad Jeans; Good Genes, Bad Genes — Sydney Sweeney Realities

    By Selwyn Duke “I learned long ago the difference between critics and box office.” So said late President Ronald Reagan, referencing what his experience as a Hollywood actor taught him. Box office is what matters whether you’re selling films, politicians, or anything else. And perhaps illustrating this reality perfectly is the much discussed “un-woke” Sydney…

  • Black Professor: Time to Kill “African-American”

    By Selwyn Duke It was decades ago that I warned against using the term “African-American.” It was three years ago that legendary black singer Smokey Robinson said, passionately, “I resent being called an African-American — I really do.” Now a black Ivy League linguistics professor is echoing this sentiment. Saying the term is “awkward,” he’s touting the…

  • “Racism”: Want to Cancel Hulk Hogan? Fine, Then Muhammad Ali’s Got to Go, Too

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke It wasn’t long after legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan’s passing that we heard the condemnations. Don’t honor him, the nattering ne’er-do-wells insisted—he was a stone cold “racist.” When evaluating this, too, I want you to consider the following quite telling and damning line: “A black man should be…
