C. A. Swann: Wasn’t that dull work? Following me around in your spare time?
Tony Wendice: To begin with . . . yes. But you know how it is. It’s like a hobby. Once you take up a hobby, the more interesting and fascinating it becomes. You became quite fascinating. There were times that I felt you almost belonged to me.
C. A. Swann: That must have been interesting. (more…)

Howard University is one of the most prestigious black institutions of higher learning in the world. I believe it was named after radio shock jock Howard Stern, and I remember hearing that it sits catty-cornered across the street from Opie and Anthony Junior College. (more…)

Stop the presses, batten down the hatches, and hold the fort: Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma — which is one of the bleakest, grimiest, and nastiest towns I’ve ever whisked through — are charging a homeless black man with Oklahoma’s equivalent of a “hate crime” in connection with a pair of shootings on April 18 in which he walked up behind two separate white men and shot them dead with bullets to the head.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? — Jeremiah 17:9
Unde malum? Where does evil come from? I first pondered that question as a child, a childhood of full immersion in a fundamentalist, Baptist Weltanschauung. Evil’s origin and its persistence in the world was the central motif in the narrative of the Great Rebellion, the failure of Angel Lucifer’s insurrection against God. The origin of evil came from a titanic battle of supernatural beings. (more…)

In what may be remembered as one of the oddest yet most wide-reaching racial hoaxes of all time, news agencies and police departments nationwide warned that white-supremacist anti-Semites were calling for a “National Day of Hate” on Saturday, February 25. The term “Day of Hate” was a top-trending topic on Twitter all day Saturday, leading for the predictable calls for a National Day of Punching Nazis. (more…)

So it’s fare thee well to dime-store Lady Macbeth, Nicola Sturgeon. The Scottish premier, and the woman Nigel Farage called the most unpleasant politician he had ever met, quit after an uproar, which is what journalists reading tweets and sensing a story is called just at the moment. (more…)

For all their bluster, strutting, truculence, and tough talk, blacks are remarkably thin-skinned. I’m not so sure how they roll in other parts of the world, such as in their African Urheimat, but this is certainly notable in the United States. I only know of one ethnic group touchier than that, but feigned helplessness is their usual approach. (more…)
