Clarence Thomas, Liberal Racism and the Ongoing Denigration of Black Conservatives
- By Star Parker
President Joe Biden stirred up controversy during the last presidential campaign, when, in an interview with a Black radio host, he said, "If you have a problem figuring out if you're for me or Trump, you ain't Black."
Biden got pushback on this, but he captured a pretty common view among liberals.
That is, that liberalism is genetically emblazoned in Black DNA.
They see Blacks who are not liberal as not normal, not really Black.

The State of Black Progress
- By Star Parker
As part of Black History Month 2024, my organization, CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, has announced the release of "The State of Black Progress," published by Encounter Books.
This is a follow-up to "The State of Black America," published by CURE in 2022.
The objective of these tomes is to showcase first-class scholarship to paint a comprehensive picture for thinking much differently about the reality facing Black Americans than what has been the norm for many years.

Too Many Corporations, Like Universities, Have Lost Their Way
- By Star Parker
Universities are not alone among our institutions that have lost their way. How about America's corporations, which now seem to think social justice is their job, beside efficiently delivering goods and services to the American public?
In a recent panel discussion at the Bipartisan Policy Institute, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank, rang the alarm about the nation's debt.
He noted what is already widely known -- that federal debt now equals 100% of GDP, on its way to 130% of GDP by 2035.

Winds of Change in the Black Vote
- By Star Parker
Data shows that winds of political change are blowing among Black voters.
In volatile times like now, predictions can be made with only the greatest caution.
However, it seems clear that something is going on and Black voters are breaking with past voting patterns.
The New York Times reported last November that, per its polling with Siena College, 22% of Black voters in six key battleground states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- indicated they would support Republican Donald Trump.

Progressive Black Pastors Misguided on War in Gaza
- By Star Parker
Some 1,000 Black pastors nationwide are reported to have weighed-in to pressure President Joe Biden to force a ceasefire in the war in Gaza.
According to one pastor, the war "has evoked the kind of deep-seated angst among Black people that I have not seen since the civil rights movement."
And per another, regarding the Palestinians, "we see them as a part of us ... They are oppressed people. We are oppressed people."

Freedom Is Not Free
- By Star Parker
One picture worth a thousand words is a graph on the U.S. Department of Defense website showing U.S. annual Defense spending as a percentage of GDP, going back to 1953.
Two things jump out.
First, the lowest over the 70-year period was in 1999, at the end of the Clinton administration, when it stood at 2.7%. This is a little more than half the previous low, which stood at 4.5% 20 years earlier, in 1979.
A little over year after this historic low point in defense spending, our nation experienced the worst attack on its homeland in its history on Sept. 11, 2001.

Social Security: A Broken Socialist Dinosaur
- By Star Parker
It seems many still harbor, or want to perpetuate, the illusion that our Social Security system is not in trouble.
Let me quote here from a press release from the Social Security Administration released March 31, 2023:
"The Social Security Board of Trustees today released its annual report on the financial status of the Social Security Trust Funds. The combined asset reserves of the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance (OASI and DI) Trust Funds are projected to become depleted in 2034, one year earlier than projected last year, with 80% of benefits payable at that time."
