Blacks 'Injected' With Syphilis? Never Happened

Posted March 22, 2008 | 02:41 PM (EST)


One peculiar footnote of the Jeremiah Wright controversy has been the repetition -- by educated black men on national television -- of a stubborn myth. That the U.S. government "injected black men with syphilis."

Rev. Wright said from the pulpit, in a video clip shown on Fox News: "The government...

Horowitz Posts a 'Correction' (Sort Of)

Posted May 10, 2007 | 07:15 PM (EST)


David Horowitz was unaware, until he read it on my blog, that the numbers he published concerning "interracial rape" in America -- i.e., 100 white women a day raped by blacks, and "virtually zero" black women raped by whites -- are grossly inaccurate.

Now that he is aware, Horowitz...

Do All Black Athletes Look Alike?

Posted May 9, 2007 | 04:42 PM (EST)


For the past three months, I've been documenting an odd American media phenomenon: Misidentified Black People.

That's when you see a picture of a well-known black person, but the caption says it's some other black person. As if photo editors aren't able to tell Negroes apart.

It happens to rappers....

David Horowitz Shuns a Race-Baiter

Posted May 7, 2007 | 03:46 PM (EST)


Conservative activist David Horowitz deserves to be commended (even though he thinks I'm a "prick"). He has done the right thing.

After seeing my Huffington Post entry of two days ago, Horowitz decided that he and his website, FrontPage Magazine, will cut their ties to Lawrence Auster.

Mr. Horowitz...

David Horowitz Welcomes a Race-Baiter

Posted May 3, 2007 | 10:25 PM (EST)


One year ago, right-wing activist David Horowitz seemed convinced that Lawrence Auster, an occasional contributor to his FrontPage Magazine website, trafficked in "racist" ideas. And he seemed to cast Auster out.

I had sent Horowitz and Jamie Glazov, FrontPage's managing editor, an 11-page letter detailing Auster's views on race, as...

The Vice President and the Mulatto

Posted April 26, 2007 | 04:14 PM (EST)


Half-hidden in the pages of history is a fascinating story of race, sex and politics in 19th-Century America.

Let's begin in the present with Brenda Gene Gordon, a 67-year-old white woman in Chandler, Ariz., who has been researching her family's history.

Mrs. Gordon is a direct descendant...

The 'Nigger' Top 10

Posted March 9, 2007 | 08:15 PM (EST)


Now that the New York City Council has "symbolically" banned the "N-word," I'd like to defend the word's right to exist.

The word "nigger," like all words, is simply an instrument with which to convey ideas. No word is inherently evil. In fact, black artists have been putting the...

Obama the 'Articulate'

Posted January 29, 2007 | 04:22 PM (EST)


On the black side of the blogosphere, some folks are annoyed by the media's description of Sen. Barack Obama as "articulate." It's condescending, they say. As if a former Harvard Law Review president wouldn't be articulate?

And hey, you don't hear people going around calling white guys "articulate," do you?...

Randall Robinson Is Wrong

Posted December 18, 2006 | 02:46 PM (EST)


Everything about Randall Robinson's 2001 bestseller The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks is wrong. Wrongest of all is his overwhelming belief that most black Americans are broken. Broken in a way that only white people can fix.

For 250 pages, in spurts of purple prose, Robinson goes on and...
