“I was fired because I was a white woman”
By Tom Quiner Picture the scene: Screaming pro lifers take over a college campus. A young journalist approaches the chanting mob to get their story. Their spokesperson, who happens to be a white woman and a professor at that college, screams at the journalist to leave. When the journalist says he has a First Amendment…

A Quiner’s Diner reader didn’t appreciate a recent post, Democrats’ history of antagonism towards African-Americans.
She posed a series of questions, to which I respond below.

“Don’t honor race”
Read my headline.
Those are fightin’ words to a liberal. A typical liberal response might be,
“well then, you must be a racist.”

Sorry for the provocative headline.
No, Black people aren’t dumb. On the other hand, honorable people can debate the common sense and sagacity of liberals.
I post the video above by Ami Horowitz for your viewing pleasure. You need to see it in light of the email I just received from the head of the Democratic Party, Tom Perez:

Abolish hate crime legislation
This is an ugly story that makes me ashamed to be a white guy:
Two white men and two white women kidnapped a mentally handicapped young black man. They dragged him to an apartment building, bound him, gagged him, terrorized him. They cut his scalp and hair.

There was a rush to judgement. A cop was tried by the press for shooting Michael Brown and found guilty.
The president and assorted Democratic politicians were quick to indict the police before an investigation even began.
When the dust had settled, when cooler heads had conducted a detailed investigation, when forensic evidence was analyzed, the officer who shot Michael Brown was exonerated of any wrong doing.
It was determined he shot Brown in self defense.
We have another shooting in Minneapolis that has saturated airwaves…
Read MoreThe heartless minimum wage
Nationally, the unemployment rate for black teenagers is six times that of the general population, and double that of the general teen population. These gaps don’t seem to change, and will get far worse if the president and his party have their way and increase the wage to fifteen dollars per hour.
