Daily Mail: White boy, 12, suspected of being Islamic extremist recruit after he showed beheading videos to classmates

By Selwyn Duke

It's now well-known that the mainstream media studiously avoids identifying the race or ethnicity of criminals or terrorists.  When Moslems riot, for instance, usually absent from articles on the subject is any reference to the religious classification of the rioters.  Used instead is a characterization such as the generic "youths."  "Two-hundred 'youths' rioted in protest of police measures," a paper may write.  I have found an interesting exception to this practice, however, in a Daily Mail article in which they seem to take pains to identify a terrorist suspect as a white, "fair-haired" lad.

Reader Email: Choosing Obama Based on Race is Fine

By Selwyn Duke

Today I'm responding to a reader who is quite dismissive about the truth regarding race and Barack Obama.  He is A.F. and writes:

The Crime of Being White

By Selwyn Duke

Just recently I wrote a piece about Keith John Sampson, a college student who was charged with “racial harassment” for reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. Not surprisingly, the article evoked a great response, including emails from those with their own stories to tell about persecution inspired by what I will call caucaphobia. A couple of these accounts are so compelling – compared to one even Sampson’s problems pale – that I’ve decided to publish them in this piece (both readers allowed me to use their names; their correspondence has been edited for punctuation, grammar and style). These are the stories the mainstream media won’t tell, straight from the front lines of the culture war. They give voice to a persecution whose name most dare not utter.

Read a Book, Get Charged with Racial Harassment

By Selwyn Duke

The May 9 edition of the New York Post carries a short article by an Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis student named Keith John Sampson. He tells a story of being charged with "racial harassment" simply because he was "caught" reading an anti-Ku Klux Klan book. I'm not kidding. Sampson tells his story:

Cultural Affirmative Action

By Selwyn Duke

In a way, I prefer the old, overt affirmative action. While it was government-sanctioned discrimination, at least it was, in some measure, more honest than our cultural affirmative action. There is such a thing. It’s when people in the market and media privilege others – sometimes unconsciously – based upon the latter’s identification with a “victim group.”

Bill O'Reilly's Obama Contradiction

By Selwyn Duke

When all is said and done, the slippery Illinois senator running for president may steal Molly Brown's nickname and be known as the unsinkable Barack Obama.  This is especially likely given the kid-gloves treatment he's receiving from the media.  And, unfortunately, Mr. No Spin himself, Bill O'Reilly, is part of this.

Barack Obama: Tell Me Who Your Friends Are and I'll Tell You Who You Are

By Selwyn Duke

By now, everyone knows about the controversy surrounding Barack Obama and his vile, bigoted pastor, "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright.  Everyone is awaiting Obama's speech on the subject, but what's the point?  We know what he's going to say.

When I Must Admire a Liberal

By Selwyn Duke

It probably won't come as a surprise to many that I'm no fan of Geraldine Ferraro, but, wow, she must be receiving inspiration.  As you may know, she recently opined that Barack Obama would not be enjoying his current success were it not for his race.  And, as many don't know, she is absolutely correct.

WorldNetDaily - Planned Parenthood: Wanting fewer blacks 'understandable'

The bigoted ideas of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger are well documented.   She is a woman who once said,

"We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."

Now, WorldNetDaily.com writes of a sting operation indicating that her spirit lives on within the organization.  WND columnist Bob Unruh tells us:

An Apology for Slavery?

By Selwyn Duke

During the past year, five states have apologized for slavery, and now there's an effort to follow suit in Congress.  Personally, I find this sickening.  And I'd like to make something clear: If our esteemed "leaders" issue such an apology, they do not do so on my behalf.  Leave me out of it.
