Dear Debate Moderators, There Are More 'Black Issues' Besides Crime and Poverty
I’m obsessed with race. After much self-reflection and receiving no less than 2,238,934 accusatory emails, tweets and DMs (not that I’m counting), I am willing to admit my personal preoccupation with racial issues.

The Furious Fight for Alabama’s Senate Seat Is Crazier and More Racist Than Ever
In Alabama’s 2018 special elections, black women saved their state from sending an alleged teenage dating connoisseur to the U.S Senate. Instead, Sen.

We Calculated How Much We Pay Trump to Play Golf. It Turns Out, He's America's 10th Highest Paid Athlete
The great ones play through pain. At 8:55 a.m. on Feb. 19, 2018, as Parkland, Fla., residents headed to a local church to mourn the senseless murder of 14-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Alaina Petty, 40 miles away, the president of the United States woke up early in the morning, slipped into a…

You Get a Pardon! And You Get a Pardon! Career Criminal Donald Trump Passes Out Get Out of Jail Free Cards to Disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Others
There are some words and phrases in the English language that are open to interpretation, while others—like “criminal”—are pretty cut-and-dried.
