Race in America Still Incoherent

A white woman could have a black child, but a black woman couldn't have a white child.

These days white people try to pass for black, not black for white.

The history of black people in America has been bound up with their Christianity.

In our times, we rarely discuss issues concerning race from the perspective of traditional black Christians.

The blacks we see on television, whether a news anchor or an actor in a commercial, are mainly from the "Talented twentieth," to paraphrase Du Bois, that 20% of blacks who have a four-year college degree.

The real question for those "Social justice warriors" presumably angry over "Racism" is, how does this endless, non-stop "Cancel" purge help those black people who aren't part of the "Talented twentieth" improve their and their families' lives? How does burning down black small businesses, defunding black police officers, opening the border to illegal workers and welfare dependents, keeping at-risk black children out of school, slamming the door on charter schools for black students, stalling the economy with more intrusive regulations and more deficit spending, and continuing to ignore the epidemic of black-on-black crime­­-help ordinary black people?

Over the last four years we saw record-breaking economic improvement for black lives, with unprecedented levels of wages and employment, and just as we are poised to recover from the wounds of the grossly negligent pandemic lockdowns, the "Woke" Democrats are rushing to bring back the old tax-and-spend playbook and racialist demagoguery that will threaten that recovery and damage more of those "Black lives" that are supposed to "Matter."
