‘We Cannot Remain Silent’: Rwanda Offers to Take in 30,000 African Migrants at Risk for Being Sold Into Slavery
It has almost become a mantra these days: “I can’t believe that this is happening in 2017.” The way race relations in the U.S. are going, we could be in 1917, or 1817, especially with the recent exposé of the sale of people—black people—in this the year of our Lord. Since a CNN report showing…

My question is: Has Tiger Woods ever not been in the sunken place?

Heard It All Before … White Maryland Woman Charged With Lying About Black Men Trying to Carjack Her
It’s one of the oldest tricks in The Big Book of Racism: When in doubt, blame a black guy. But why a 46-year-old white woman in Maryland told police an elaborate tall tale about an attempted carjacking by two black men at the mall last week is anyone’s guess. In the case of Susan Smith,…
