Fundamental Christian Values The vast majority of what has been described as “whiteness” is nothing more than fundamental Biblical values. These values are not color based but character based. American values include family, community, education, and patriotism. According to commentator Elise Ehrhard, “Decisions that lie in personal responsibility know no race. Everyone in America has the […]

America Is Not Racist, part 9 – The Cancel Culture
The Cancel Culture In the new Cancel Culture, the progressives continually attempt to cancel our basic American culture of personal freedom, equality under the law, and free market capitalism in favor of big government authoritarian elitism. It is not just the icons and symbols (think destruction and tearing down of long standing statues) of our American […]
America Is Not Racist, part 8 – America’s Freedom Has Helped All Lives To Succeed
America’s Freedom Has Helped All Lives To Succeed Many whites are ashamed, saddened and feel guilty about our history of slavery, Jim Crow and gross racial discrimination. Many black people remain angry over the injustices of the past and what they see as injustices of the present. But both blacks and whites can benefit from a […]
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 6 – A More Devasting Problem
A More Devastating Problem The most devastating problem for blacks is the very weak black family structure. Tim Scott (a Black U. S. Senator for South Carolina) wrote, “If you have two parents in the household, you reduce poverty in the African-American community by 85%. That’s a stunning truth that needs more oxygen.” The absence of a […]
America Is Not Racist, part 5 – We Are Not as Woke as We Think
We Are Not as Woke as We Think Ben Shapiro was right when he wrote, “The product of the woke crusade will not be a less racist America but a more polarized one. That’s because the woke crusade is not truly about reducing racism; it is about attacking fundamental institutions, American history, and our very […]
America Is Not Racist, part 4 – Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory Critical race theory is a theoretical Marxist leaning framework that assumes as a fact that individuals are oppressed or are the oppressor based on their skin color. So progressives use the leftist paradigms of critical race theory to share their ideas about racism. Unfortunately, most college graduates with training in the humanities and social […]
America Is Not Racist, part 3 – Political Correctness and Identity Politics
Political Correctness and Identity Politics It is mostly from the left that come the philosophies of political correctness and identity politics. One result of these philosophies is the belief that there are only two meaningful demographic groups in America today – people of color and white people. “The left provokes a politically concocted racial battle between alleged […]
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, […]
America Is Not Racist, part 1 – Racism Redefined
Racism Redefined My mother was a racist. She would be the first to admit she was; she admitted so to me. But the key word here is “was.” By the time she died, in 2015, she was so far from being a racist, by definition, that no one would ever believe she once was. By the proper definition, a […]
