Prosecution star witness Rachel Jeantel, the 19-year-old to whom Trayvon Martin was reportedly speaking while he was being followed by George Zimmerman, admitted again on the stand on Thursday that she had changed her testimony about Zimmerman’s words.

Six black men assaulted a white man outside a restaurant in Seneca, S.C. on March 17 after insulting him with a racial remark. Such was the severity of the beating and obvious racial motive that local police have referred the case to federal officials. However, contrary to their usual reaction in such matters, the national media have yet to jump on the case, and civil rights leaders have said nothing about it. The leftist media’s and “civil rights” groups' silence on the subject stands in sharp contrast to their handling of the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26...

Bill Maher: "If Irish Americans can manage to celebrate their heritage in just one day then Southerners should be able to do also.

"I'd tell you what the rednecks are trending, but none of...

Prof. (Emeritus) Michael Montgomery has done a fine job of showing that Scottish English, imported primarily by the Scotch-Irish (Ulster Scots or Scots-Irish, if you prefer), had a greater impact on the Appalachian English dialect than did the tongues of Southern England, which predominated in the coastal colonial settlements. In his essay "How Scotch-Irish Is Your English? -- The Ulster Heritage of East Tennessee Speech" Montgomery discusses the rise and fall of two such words, "cracker" and "cohee" . . .
