Language is the tool we use to frame our thoughts and thought processes. Every time we use, or tolerate the use around us of the terms “illegal” and “illegal alien” we are allowing white American nationalists, white racists, to speak from our mouths. That can’t lead to anyplace good. It’s been said before, but some [...]
Sectors of the intelligentsia developed an infatuation for Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed and The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal.

“Well you know, black people deserve what they get. They sold themselves into slavery!” How many times have you heard this reactionary claim that the reason Africans were enslaved is because of an inherent pathology hell-bent on genocide. I mean it’s that classic “blame the victim” mantra, a favorite reactionary past time I might add, [...]
A lot has been written about Haiti in light of the recent earthquake that has devastated the first African government in the Western hemisphere.
