    People who call for reason and civility are as bad as the slave owners and people who like pumpkin spice lattes are genocidal.

    or promoting HBC

    I lived in a city many years that housed an HBC. I get the point
    Before you start --- the same people that defend the flag of secessionists as heritage will in 3-2-1 slam HBC.
    HBC includes many whites. As students and athletes. In another life we steered many a baseball player to the HBC school and many went on to success not only furthering their ball career but as professional people

    as a matter of fact there are/were "White and Bright" scholarships encouraging diversity
    This is not a big deal.

    unless of course the usual suspects get their noses out of joint

    It's weird that Hill writes for a prominently white publication instead of leaving for a less prominent, black publication.

    I honestly couldn't care less what all the talking head, commentator or editorial types say. I don't need people to tell me how I should think about what's happening in the world.

    What upsets me is when I see bias in the selection of what stories to report. The example I use is the 2012 election. You had both candidates make verbal gaffes that could be taken as insulting to some people. Romney had the comment to supporters about not representing the people who don't pay taxes and Obama had the infamous "You didn't build that" comment.

    When Obama made his statement, you couldn't turn on Fox News or go to their website without seeing some story about that comment. Conversely, it was only passingly reported by CNN. The Romney comment got much less attention on Fox News (the attention it got was defenses of it) and yet CNN ran with it as their lead story for nearly a month.

    The reporting could have been nothing but the most objective reporting possible on the stories. The problem is the bias in what the editors deem newsworthy. CNN considered the Romney gaffe far more newsworthy than the Obama one and Fox News was the opposite.

    I don't listen to the idiots trying to tell me how to think about the news. I don't need that. What I do need is the actual news. The fact that what we get is strained through people with their own personal slants annoys me greatly. I actually end up getting a lot of my actual news from foreign sources as a result.

    If you want to be accurate in a political science sense you would say "Islamist Terrorists". Islamism is a political movement that uses radical Islam.
