The Color of White
The Meaning of White
There is an old saying that "figures don't lie, but liars figure."
To paraphrase a former President of the United States, "it all
depends on what the meaning of 'white' is." Unfortunately, too
many other people already have their own peculiar definitions of
what the race of "white" really is and what it isn't.

Poor Minorities
A Collective Moral Responsibility?
According to civil rights activists, such as Jesse Jackson,
the primary reason why poor minorities use bad judgment and make the
awful decisions that ruin their lives, like drug abuse, dropping out
of high school, having children out of wedlock, and going to prison,
etc., is because it is the government’s fault.

Slavery Reparations
Paying for the Sins of our Fathers
Should the United States government pay reparations to black
Americans for the years their forefathers spent under the yoke of
slavery in this country. Is reparations really about righting a wrong

Is My Son White
And Does it Even Matter?
My skin color is brown
enough that nobody would have a problem identifying me as being
Hispanic. Likewise, my green-eyed blonde wife is easily identified
as white.
But what “label” does our infant son fall into? And does
it really matter?
And most importantly, who the hell should even care about it?

Racism Fear
But Still Doing the Right Thing
Political correctness in this country has reached such a
fever pitch high in that just about any kind of bad behavior from a
“protected” group of people is not only tolerated but often
encouraged. As a result, there is a lot of unacceptable conduct that
goes unnoticed in this country because a minority did it.

Misguided Anger
Bad Credit and Civil Rights
Bad credit is not a civil rights issue. Sadly, statistics
show that minorities do have bad credit so civil rights activists
have taken up another crusade. However, the activists don’t want to solve a
problem. Instead, they want to exploit racial tensions and ignite
class warfare to further their own agenda.

Liberal Ignorance
Receiving Liberal Hate Mail
What is so amazing is that the press often ignores the inflammatory and incendiary accusations
hurled by Democrats.
Liberals spout off such hateful comments on a frequent basis yet the
media really doesn’t care.
But if a Republican were to ever have a slip of
the tongue, the press would be all over it.

Generational
Success
Do White People Have it Easy?
Do whites have “generational success” that gives them a leg
up? My parents had to start from scratch and they did very well as
did a lot of other Hispanics from the barrio. But these achievements
had everything to do with exercising personal responsibility, making
good decisions, and avoiding bad judgment.

The Wrong Message About Racism

Racial
Injustice
Or Lack of Responsibility?
Poverty warriors and racial arsonists now have to pay at
least a little bit of lip service to personal responsibility as well
as to the other cultural factors that contribute to poverty.
Claiming racial injustice as the sole reason to why minorities are
still in poverty doesn't resonate as well at it used to.

Show Me Your Photo ID
Suppose I were to step inside a convenience store to buy a 24

clerk behind the counter a racist because he or she will only sell
me alcohol if and only if I have a valid photo ID? If not, then why

Hyphenated
Americans
Is this Issue Really a Problem?
Why should any minority want to bring attention their
ethnicity or place of origin if we want a color-blind society? As a conservative Hispanic,
I see
“hyphenated Americans” nowhere near as threatening as many
Right-Wingers suggest. In fact, I often feel that too many
conservatives blow it out of proportion and here is
why.

Too Much Michael Richards
What Michael Richards said and did on stage to two black gentlemen
