We’re all watching the drama unfold as Whoopi Goldberg attempts to claw her way out of the recent comments she made about the holocaust and how it “wasn’t about race”. You could see her comments in a multitude of ways, and certain groups are going to hate her for what she said, and others might […]

Everyone Can’t Do Everything
Since I was young, I’ve been told that I can be anything that I want to be. The implication that was silently included in that statement was that if I worked hard enough, there was no job or position or achievement that I couldn’t reach if I just did all the things required to get […]

Humans Love a Good Fight
It doesn’t matter what the reasons are. There could be really good reasons for it or really bad reasons for it. Money, power, entertainment and myriad other possibilities can be used to justify it.

Why Is Racism Still An Issue?
We live in a country that has made major strides over two centuries to move forward from the archaic viewpoints of the past. From a time when people were used as beasts of burden to a modern world where every person has inalienable rights, the United States is at the forefront of liberty and is […]

Labels Are a Double-edged Sword
I mentioned in a previous post that one of the things we need in the world is the ability to group together with other like-minded people to support each other in the way of life we prefer. Nationalism is a good thing in a world with billions of people who each have their own idea […]

Racism is Back…and It Sucks Just as Bad
I have to take a break from talking about some of the more esoteric and self-motivational things I’ve been writing about lately. This morning I watched a video about the “8 White Identities“, which is basically a chart that describes what the creators believe are the different types of white people in America. It is […]
