Facebook has kicked the Abbeville Institute off its platform.  This is an offence against free speech.  The Abbeville Institute is not a crazy, rabble-rousing place from what I can tell by the articles it publishs.  They are supporters of the old South, but this is not a criminal offense.  There are probably a few crazies who attach themselves to it, but this is true of any organization, including Black Lives Matter, the American Legion, the Brookings Institution, and the Democratic and Republican Parties.  Facebook appears to have a political agenda that it is forcing on the United States, as Pravda and other Communist media did in the old Soviet Union.   The book 1984 is relevant today; it has just taken us a few more years to reach its description of the political situation than George Orwell expected.   Mark Zuckerberg has become “Big Brother” whether he wants to be or not.   The First Amendment of the Constitution Congress shall make n...

 The furor over the Confederate flag being carried by one of the invaders of the US Capitol is overblown.  Many more invaders were carrying American flags and using them as weapons, compared with one individual apparently walking quietly through the halls with a Confederate flag.  The man with the Confederate flag should not have been there, but it looks like his offense was considerably less than many of those with American flags.  Nevertheless, the Confederate flag photo has been highlighted because commentators believe it represents some kind of evil, like a Nazi swastika.  This is unjustified.  The men who fought under the Confederate flag did not kill blacks; they killed white men fighting for the Union army.    Some black men fought for the Union and were killed along with their white colleagues, but that had nothing to do with their race.    To imply by comparisons with Nazi paraphernalia that the Confederate flag is a symbol of g...

It is sad that Black Lives Matter has made such a point of honoring George Floyd.  He is a human being and should not have been killed by the police.  However, he was a convicted felon for a violent crime, in addition of being a drug user, a poor father, and generally a failure in life.  He was being arrested for committing a crime while being high on drugs.  He was a drag on the US economy and a bad example of the human race.  The fact that he is being held up to such esteem by the black race indicates what a terrible state the black race is in.   There are many wonderful black individuals, but the black race looks pretty awful.   Africa is a failed continent, populated by the black race.   Why haven’t blacks made something of Africa.   Latin America is dark or brown because of the black intermarriage, and it too is a failed continent compared to the Northern Hemisphere.   Is the Southern Hemisphere failing because if is Southern, or ...

Reparations is not about slavery; it’s about being black.  Slavery ended over 150 years ago. Blacks may claim the segregation lasted much longer, but many blacks moved from the South to the North where there was supposed to be no segregation.  They had the opportunity to make something of themselves, but they didn’t do much with it.  So now they just want money.  America seems to be undergoing a transition in which blacks want a huge transfer of wealth from whites to blacks.   In fact, the immigration dispute reflects this same agenda.   Black and brown people around the world have been less successful than white people.   As a result, we see the mass migration from the southern hemisphere to the northern.   Africans are flocking to Europe.   Latin Americans are flocking to the United States.   These black and brown people are seeking a better life because they have failed to build one for themselves, just as black Americans failed to ...
