Article: What the Ferguson Verdict Should Have Taught You About Critical Thinking

Back in the not so distant past, I remember watching the O.J. Simpson murder trial with some of my college friends and our discussions became heated. No, we didn't come to blows and we didn't stoop to name calling, but we did have diametrically opposed opinions when it came to whether Simpson sho...

America’s angriest white men: Up close with racism, rage and Southern supremacy



Up close with small-town white rage, with bitter, scary men who feel left behind by economic and cultural change

Country star Brad Paisley releases bizarre “Accidental Racist” song



I'm just a white man comin' to you from the southland
Tryin' to understand what it's like not to be
I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done
And it ain't like you and me can re-write history
Our generation didn't start this nation
We're still pickin' up the pieces, walkin' on eggshells, fightin' over yesterday
And caught between southern pride and southern blame

Racism may make black men age faster, UMCP study finds - Bing News



Racism may make black men age faster, UMCP study finds

Carrie Wells

Baltimore Sun - Baltimore Sun - ‎Wednesday‎, ‎January‎ ‎8‎, ‎2014

Black men who experience "high levels" of racism and internalize it may age more quickly, according to a new University of Maryland, College Park study. Though it is well known that African-Americans suffer disproportionally from illness compared to other races, the university said the study is the first to link racism to accelerated aging and age-related disease. The study found that the more racial discrimination the men experienced and the more they reported a "stronger bias against their own racial group," the greater their signs of accelerated aging, according to the university.
