  • New American Cover Story: Multiculturalism

    By Selwyn Duke It is 1991, and Yugoslavia, born of the ashes of WWI, is starting to break up. It is a violent affair that will be long, painful, bloody, and complex. Numerous wars in the multi-ethnic region will be fought, with Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia declaring independence from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia and, in turn, Serb…

  • President Downgrade

    By Selwyn Duke When Barack Obama promised change that would transform America, most never suspected that he would make history by presiding over the nation’s first-ever credit downgrade.  But, well, yes – he can. And he did. Of course, the blame cannot be laid entirely at Obama’s feet.  Since Congress controls the purse strings, it…

  • The Myth of White Privilege

    By Selwyn Duke Something must be wrong. My finances are in shambles; mainstream newspapers won’t publish my pieces; and, no matter how much I try to convince Fox News that they need male eye candy as well, they just won’t give me a show. Then I gaze into the mirror at my alabaster complexion and…

  • Defend It Like Beckham: Soccer Star Condemned for Having Too Many Children

    By Selwyn Duke Adorning an article in the Guardian is a picture you might think represented a prototypical family: a handsome couple standing behind three healthy, well-grown children. But according to the British paper, the parents — soccer star David Beckham and his wife, Victoria — are to be condemned. The problem is that, with…

  • Three-monkey Authorities Ignoring another Black-on-white “Hate Crime”

    By Selwyn Duke Like the three monkeys who see, hear and speak no evil, our authorities seem intent on ignoring the true nature of yet another black-on-white racial attack.  In the New York City subway this past Sunday, 29-year-old Jason Fordell was attacked by a group of black men who taunted him for being white.…

  • Importing Disaster: Demographic Changes Mean Democrat Future

    By Selwyn Duke At a gathering some years ago, I had a political conversation with a man who had recently arrived here from Denmark.  He was advocating his home country’s socialist system, which, of course, led to profound disagreement.  He was good natured and cordial, however, so the debate ended on a polite note.  Yet…

  • Gandhi Reconsidered: When Paganism Met Progressivism

    By Selwyn Duke When an Indian-born man I knew a couple of decades ago expressed an intense dislike for Mohandas Gandhi, I found it a bit surprising. Wasn’t the “Great Soul,” that quintessential 20th-century icon, India’s George Washington? That certainly is the narrative created by historians — who, history has taught us, can tell a…

  • Obama’s America: Bureaucracy Fines Theater $80,000 for Racism

    By Selwyn Duke When you hear that a movie theater was fined $80,000 dollars for discrimination, you might wonder if it refused to hire blacks or promote women. But this wasn’t the case with the Carmike 14 cinema, in Dover, Delaware. What was its Bull Connor moment? Its manager asked patrons to refrain from cellphone…

  • Journalist in France Convicted for Anti-Muslim Hate Speech

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve heard a lot about Geert Wilders, the Dutch parliamentarian whose warnings about Muslim influence in his nation place him in the crosshairs of the powers-that-be.  But while the tow-headed modern-day Templar has thus far dodged the hangman on Truth-speech charges, another intrepid defender of Western civilization has not been so lucky. …

  • Dallas Politician: “All of you are white. Go to hell!”

    By Selwyn Duke Most of you won’t know the name John Wiley Price, but he’s obviously a man well qualified to hold a position at the Eric Holder Justice Department.  What has Price, a Dallas County Commissioner, done to distinguish himself?  He told a group of five citizens during a local-government meeting, “All of you…
