I've never seen the scientific evidence for this, I hear it often but I'm sure it's a myth. Now, the colonial way races were divided up which we still...

As far as I remember, there's evidence black cops are more likely to use lethal force than white ones. Also black men aren't more likely to be killed ...

I'm not talking about the etymology of the words, I'm talking about what people mean by "bad and good" whether they're aware of it or not. If somethin...

Well something appears to have worked in North Korea. They are for the first time demilitarising their border. It's impossible to say if Trump is resp...

"Morality Versus Action" All morality depends on action. For morality to mean anything, force has to be used. Otherwise it is just a plea for the T-re...
