The Potential of the Moment
Warning: Political Post!
Yesterday MSM reported that al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s #2 guy, called Obama a “house negro.” I’ve been sitting with this trying to figure out where I am with it, and I think I’ve found a place to land.
The fact is that America’s historic racism has not only profoundly affected our own country, but apparently […]
