Barack Obama, during the 2008 presidential campaign, said it, too. Blacks and whites, said Obama, "are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates (and) receive very different sentences ... for the same crime." ... more
• The Media Downplay Murder When It's Black-on-White and Black-on-Black Thu Apr 5
  Larry Elder
  Why did the Trayvon Martin case become such a huge national story? Is it because an innocent black teenager lost his life at the hands of a man, George Zimmerman, who "racially profiled" him? Is it that the victim is black and the shooter was not? ... more
• Where's the Outrage Over Black Family Breakdown? Wed Apr 4
  Crystal Wright
  I’ve avoided writing about the Trayvon Martin situation because liberals assume I should have an opinion because I’m black and so was Trayvon. When something happens to a black person and it garners national news attention, the mainstream media trots out “the voices of black America.” ... more
• Contraception Mandate=Population Control Mon Mar 26
  Harry R. Jackson, Jr.
  It is an anomaly to me to see the drift in government to control in micro-detail certain aspects of our society and yet determine to be hands-off on other key issues. I often am asked questions by the media on these choices. Recently the American public was given an edict that affects many religious non-profit organizations. ... more
• Political Rope-A-Dope Wed Mar 21
  Walter E. Williams

• Race and Rhetoric Tue Mar 20
  Thomas Sowell
  One of the things that turned up, during a long-overdue cleanup of my office, was an old yellowed copy of the New York Times dated July 24, 1992. One of the front-page headlines said: "White-Black Disparity in Income Narrowed in 80's, Census Shows." ... more

• The Importance of Strengthening the Modern Day Black Family Thu Feb 16

  As we celebrate and acknowledge the significance of Black History Month, we remember those who paved the way for success and progress among the black community. We remember the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr. to promote racial equality and to eradicate poverty and injustice. ... more
• A Defining Moment Tue Feb 7
  Thomas Sowell
  Governor Mitt Romney's statement about not worrying about the poor has been treated as a gaffe in much of the media, and those in the Republican establishment who have been rushing toward endorsing his coronation as the GOP's nominee for president -- with 90 percent of the delegates still not yet chosen -- have been trying to sweep his statement under the rug. ... more
• A Black Man Can Thu Jan 26
  Mike Adams
  There is a bumper sticker I have often seen displaying these four simple words: “A Black Man Can.” The words could be taken in either of two ways. One interpretation is liberal - calling for whites to stop discriminating and give black men a chance. Another interpretation is conservative - suggesting black men can achieve without the help of government programs. ... more

  Townhall.com Staff
  "You’re a black Conservative? Wow, you’re a rarity.” I’ve heard this and similar responses over the course of my life. This indicates that there is a cultural stereotype that exists in the mindset of many people. So what does it exactly mean to be a black conservative? ... more

• I Love Herman Cain Mon Oct 31
  Bruce Bialosky
  It’s not difficult to see why Herman Cain has risen in the electoral polls. He clearly states principles that Republicans believe, and he does it without hesitation and without remorse. If you don’t love Herman Cain, you’re probably neither a Republican nor a conservative. But the big question is whether he should be the Republican nominee for President. ... more

• Herman Cain to Blacks: Divorce the Democratic Party Thu Oct 13
