  • All the President’s Bigoted Men

    By Selwyn Duke When Barack Obama said that the Henry Louis Gates affair was a teaching moment, he spoke truly.  But the key is ensuring that the right things are taught and the right people learn. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen. There is no need to rehash the events of July 16 chapter and…

  • Resurrecting the Right-wing Militia Bogeyman

    The Southern Poverty Law Center is up to its old tricks, demonizing conservatives and playing the race card for profit. By Selwyn Duke Until a long time after Napoleon's death, English mothers would admonish their children with, "Be good or Nappy will get you." Well, now we hear, be vigilant or the "racist" righties will…

  • Why I Must Defend Barbara Boxer

    By Selwyn Duke We’ve all heard about the little dust-up between Black Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Harry Alford and Democrat senator Barbara Boxer during an Environment & Public Works (EPW) hearing on “green” jobs. Boxer, the chairman of the EPW committee, was trying to refute a report commissioned by Alford’s organization stating that…

  • Bailing Out Minority Broadcasters

    Selwyn Duke If you understand the relative superiority of the free market, none of our government's recent business bailouts will find favor with you. Yet, while Uncle Sam's involvement in the auto and banking sectors is bad enough, nothing is more bone-chilling than proposals to bailout media. The reason for this should be obvious. If…

  • Gang Attacks White Family, Shouts “This is a Black World”; Police “Aren’t Ready to Call it a Hate Crime”

    By Selwyn Duke Many opponents of hate-crime laws have long pointed out that they will never be applied equitably. The laws exist solely to punish members of politically-incorrect groups who commit politically-incorrect crimes. That is to say, they're not about eliminating hate — they're about targeting those the left hates. If ever there was a…

  • Prejudice, Hating Israel and the “Racism” Conference

    By Selwyn Duke Approximately 20 delegates walked out of the Durban Review Conference Geneva, Switzerland after Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made controversial statements about Israel. Our political world today is replete with irony, so I suppose it’s not surprising that the very embodiment of prejudice, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, would speak at a U.N. conference…

  • Obama: Rescuing Dogs and Rending Babies

    By Selwyn Duke What a society talks about — and what it fails to — both speak volumes about it. And lately, the news has been replete with stories about the Obama’s new canine acquisition, a Portuguese water dog the first family has fittingly named Bo. Yet while the little curly-haired purebred is creating a…

  • Reader Email: More on Hating Whitey

    By Selwyn Duke Today I will publish two more responses to my controversial piece (it is so because it expresses Truth in an age of lies) "In Defense of the White Man."  One of the emails is positive, the other negative . . . to say the least.  The first one is from Robert, who…

  • Duke Responds to Poster: In Defense of the White Man

    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…

  • In Defense of the White Man

    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.
