America Is Not Racist, part 7 – The United States Was Not Birthed Out of Racism

The United States Was Not Birthed Out of Racism Contrary to the Left’s revisionist history, the United States was birthed not out of racism but rather out of a commitment to protecting that human trait we all share in common — our individuality.  This is not by accident.  God created us as individuals, with individual unique natural abilities […]

America Is Not Racist, part 2 – A New Normal

A New Normal I admit I was disappointed when on November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States.  However, I held out hope that maybe this first African-American chief executive of the United States would use his bully pulpit to help heal the racial divide in our nation.    In his victory speech, […]
