By Selwyn Duke One thing riots, such as the ones currently roiling Britain, are good for is serving as a distraction. For example, consider what we know — and are not being told — about what sparked the unrest: the murders of three little girls and injuring of 10 others at a Southport, U.K., dance…

By Selwyn Duke When then-18-year-old South African runner Caster Semenya was dusting female competition in races and arousing suspicion about “her” sexual status almost a generation ago, I made a prediction: Medical tests would determine that Semenya had internal testes. Sure enough, this was the case, examination results showed upon coming to light. Furthermore, Semenya…

By Selwyn Duke “‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’” — Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass As humans, who cannot communicate telepathically, we as a rule will use our common language with its widely agreed-upon…

By Selwyn Duke “Fish and guests start to stink in three days,” goes the old epigram — but not if French Olympic organizers bent on surrendering to summer heat have their way. That is, since they wouldn’t provide the athletes they’re hosting air conditioning, citing greentopian priorities, the competitors may stink after one night’s fitful…

In fact, as the Los Angeles Times writes this week, this phenomenon threatens to “destroy” our schools and transform us “from a democracy to a…

By Selwyn Duke “Sugar and spice and everything nice; That’s what little girls are made of,” goes the old Romantic Period poem. Grown women are characterized differently, the work holds, and female leaders? Poem author Robert Southey didn’t say. But pundit Tucker Carlson just did. In fact, he stated while addressing the notion that “women…

By Selwyn Duke Sweden long ago became the world’s first officially “feminist” government. Will it now be followed by what some might think is, outside the Islamic world, the unlikeliest of places: Mexico? This may be the case if its president-elect, ex-academic Claudia Sheinbaum, has her way. Focus on Feminism In fact, while Sheinbaum —…

By Selwyn Duke “The white race is the cancer of human history,” wrote feminist author Susan Sontag in 1966. While Sontag has passed on, her idea has passed on to critical-mass stage; in fact, the notion that whites are history’s “oppressors” and everyone else is the “oppressed” is now left-wing dogma as much as “four…

By Selwyn Duke It’s no surprise that black Americans used to be Republicans. The GOP is, after all, the party of Lincoln and slavery abolition. For more than half a century, however, blacks have given approximately 90 percent of their support to Democrats every election. What’s more, laments a black writer and speaker, “Democrats are guilt tripping…

By Selwyn Duke Asian-descent Americans have long enjoyed notably higher incomes than their white countrymen do. It’s also true that men earn more money than women do. Now, question: Are both, neither, or just one of these wage gaps seen as a “problem” to be “remedied”? If you answered “just one” — and know which…
