  • By Selwyn Duke Not surprisingly, my recent piece "In Defense of the White Man," evoked a tremendous response (emails are still coming in).  Also not surprising is that some of them were negative and expressed some very common misconceptions relating to the article's subject matter.  Because of this, and being that the issue at hand…

  • By Selwyn Duke While many believe that prejudice has diminished over time, it’s not really true.  Prejudice is much like the wind: Its direction changes, and the sheltered and well-situated may not sense it, but it’s always blowing on some people somewhere.  Put literally, every age has its fashionable biases – and unfashionable people.

  • By Selwyn Duke What do you think of this reasoning: If a given group doesn't perform as well as other groups on a test, then the exam is by definition discriminatory and should be discarded?  This is the rationale that was applied to police-department exams in the 1970s in a bizarre application of government civil-rights…

  • By Selwyn Duke Most of you have probably heard about the racial accusations being hurled at Prince Harry of England.  The story is that he was caught on tape with his military outfit issuing utterances that didn't sit too well with the tea-time-and-plum-pudding types back at home.  What was his offense?  He referred to a…

  • By Selwyn Duke Although the show was propaganda produced by leftist Norman Lear, no one could accuse “All in the Family” of not being funny.  Its protagonist, blue-collar bigot Archie Bunker, is one of those legendary television characters, and one of his uproarious lines is apropos here.  It was uttered during a scene in which…

  • A loyal reader has taken exception to the fact that I posted the video "The Audacity of Hate," which highlights Barack Obama’s bigoted allies.  Here is her criticism:

  • By Selwyn Duke If you believe the shill media, you assume that large numbers of people are irredeemable, closet bigots who will tell pollsters they intend to vote for Barack Obama but then "go white" in the voting booth (the thought of Obama as president makes me turn white).  This is conventional "wisdom," and they…

  • By Selwyn Duke So Howard "Dumbo" Dean is at it again.  In the interview excerpt above, he calls the Republican Party the "white party" while touting the inclusiveness of the Democrats. It’s really amazing that the Democratic National Committee allows this buffoon to be their standard bearer.  I mean, he really is the gift that…
