Baltimore riots and TV misdirection explained
Are America's recent race riots caused by 19th century slavery? Do some people of color -- Jay Z -- use them for personal financial or political gain? Or are people using select police actions to create unchecked mayhem? Will there be backlash or progress? Meanwhile, African Americans keep killing each other in staggering numbers (when compared to other races in percentage of overall population). Noted African American scholar Thomas Sowell: "You cannot exempt people, of any color, from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards and personal responsibility — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large."

The perfect theme song for Louie-ville
It's the 60th anniversary of Louie Louie, one of rock & roll's most misunderstood songs.

Much of today's hit music also swirls
Ooooohhh! You read the ENTIRE article! Good for you!
So many people are caught up in examining "white privilege," an entitlement for anyone with white skin in America. It's not a fresh topic. VIDEO: Eddie Murphy "White Like Me" White people are funny enough with Turtle Man, Honey Boo Boo, and awl doze nore-durn deer huntin' beer swillin' Ted Nugent wannabes. Life's only certainty is that no one person can fully understand the physical, mental, or emotional burdens faced by any other human being. All we know for sure is our own circumstance in the midst of life's various encumbrances. Clearly there are advantages for caucasians in terms of moving through society without unwarranted suspicion. Unless the caucasian(s) is wearing clothing indicating poverty, escape from incarceration, or gang-related affiliation, a white
