I am now even more sceptical despite his de facto defeat of Hillary Clinton for the nomination of the Democratic Party. Sir Ronald Sanders This is not because I don't want him to win. I firmly believe that his election as US president could make for a stronger America both within its own borders and in the world.

The race industry and its elite enablers take it as self-evident that high black incarceration rates result from discrimination. At a presidential primary debate this Martin Luther King Day, for instance, Senator Barack Obama charged that blacks and whites “are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates, [and] receive very different sentences . . . for the same crime.” Not to be outdone, Senator Hillary Clinton promptly denounced the “disgrace of a criminal-justice system that incarcerates so many more African-Americans proportionately than whites.”...

Wright was a racist, long before the You Tube video clips of Rev. Jeremiah Wright saying "white America, U.S. of KKKA" (among other things) surfaced.

Two thirds of children from white families say they had been bullied in the last three years but less than half of children of Indian origin make the same assertion.
