Louisiana Lawmaker Wants to Ban ‘Divisive Concepts’ Like Critical Race Theory, Also Wants to Teach About the ‘Good’ in Slavery

At this point, I just need the Republican Party to admit that it’s the answer to the age-old question: Is there a heaven for a Klan member? Republicans might as well give in to the Marjorie Taylor Greene energy they try to hide the stink of and just rename their party the “Anglo-Saxons R’ Us…

'We Only Have One Colored in Our Town': Court Rules Michigan Bar Can Be Sued by Beaten Black Man After No One Called Police

A lot of white people would have us believe we live in a post-racial America.

A few years ago, while covering a story on Republican New Hampshire legislator Werner Horn, I summoned the best and brightest scholars that America had to offer.
