By Selwyn Duke It’s said there’s no such thing as bad press, and this certainly may be true if the case of criminal rapper Jahseh Onfroy is any indication. Because a video he made in which he hangs a six-year-old white boy now has more than seven million views on YouTube. Read the rest here. 

By Selwyn Duke The Taliban and Islamic state blow up ancient statues. Cambodia’s communist Khmer Rouge aimed to erase the past and start history anew with their “Year Zero.” As for our “devolutionaries,” when will they destroy Mt. Rushmore? Answer: when they have enough power. There’s now a mad rush to tear down Confederate monuments…

By Selwyn Duke What do you do when you don’t have enough white supremacists? You invent them. Especially when you hate their guts. How does this work? All evil forces like to have a boogeyman to distract people from their own boogeyman status. Enter the (cue the ominous music) White Supremacist Threat™. Read the rest…

In fact, strikingly, there are now even cases of suicide involving eight- and nine-year-olds. The spike mainly involves middle-schoolers, however.
