I’ve been working toward this for years. I suspect this is how clairvoyants see the world.

Family classes tied to better school performance for poor kids On re-reading the article, I find that my memory was wrong: the program did not consist primarily of in-home interventions. Practically everything occurred outside the home. Note how much intense training the parents received. “Wisdom,” as I have used the term, refers principally to emotional intelligence or emotional maturity. I have discussed before (1) (2) how chaotic versus orderly contexts inhibit the dev

Know for certain: there are slums in Stockholm. And Belfast. And Vienna. And the children who grow up there fare no better, relative their mainstream peers, than is the case in the United States. We will never understand the causes of poverty among black folk until we understand them among white folk also.

The last straw for certain things came with a Baltimore Sun front page banner headline: I anticipate no response from Julia Craven, Jenee Desmond-Harris, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Stacey Patton, or Brittney Cooper.[*] What was the last straw? In short, it’s time for me to stop concerning myself with racism and race. All my life, I’ve been intensely concerned about both. Countless hours have gone into agonizing over any possible solution. One version of my conclusion is, there is non

I expect these reports to be vehemently condemned in the United States as racist, albeit the results are sure to be replicated in mono-ethnic nations such as Sweden.

Is “grit” racist? • Left-wing hate speech • Lacey Spears On Trial After Allegedly Poisoning Her Son With Sodium

In the January 13, 2015 Washington Post, Valerie Strauss calls attention to an obscure Supreme Court case that she says may have a greater impact on the educational achievement of black children than any other case since the 1954 Brown v. Board decision. She republishes a lengthy analysis of the situation by Richard Rothstein. She often republishes Richard Rothstein’s articles. As usual, Rothstein has assembled a mountain of data in support of his position; however, unfortu

He tells the story of an incident where this young drug dealer had set up shop on his front steps, and he was seeking to get the guy to move. He said, “Look, son …” “WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?” the young man snapped. “I said, ‘Son.'” The young man said, “No one ever called me ‘Son,'” and burst into tears.

“[T]he uprising in Ferguson was an inevitable reaction to the institutional racism coursing through the area for decades.” — Jack Kirkland I’m homeless. At this writing, I’ve been homeless for exactly 3½ years. When you meet a homeless man for the first time, you won’t notice his skin color. Not first. You’ll notice the condition he’s in. You’ll notice his clothes, his grooming, his conduct. Skin color is so far down the list, it might as well be left off completely. Som

———— ♦ ———— Disgusting smells provoke conservatism A logical calculus of vomit stink, gay marriage, and political leaning Research subjects exposed to the smell of vomit displayed a pronounced shift of attitudes toward the right. The Improbable Research article over-emphasizes the Biblical inerrancy question. Researchers surveyed participants on a wide range of liberal-vs.-conservative issues, and the two on which results were most outstanding were Biblical inerrancy and gay

Talking Points does not, does not believe in white privilege. However, there is no question that African-Americans have a much harder time succeeding

“Generations of slavery and discrimination make it difficult for blacks to work their way out of the lower classes.” Do you agree with that statement? If not, you harbor resentment toward blacks. That is the premise, not the conclusion, of a recent study by three political scientists
