Some Observations on John McWhorter’s “Woke Racism”
For over two decades, Columbia University professor, John McWhorter, has produced anti-racial justice commentary, which has been eagerly lapped up by his racist fanbase.

It’s difficult to watch the national news in the United States these days. Stories are repeated AD NAUSEAM for days in a row. We heard about the Pelosi attack over and over, even when nothing was new. We heard any lead story over and over. Do the news outlets believe we have no comprehension? It must be the case because there is no reason to repeat it over and over and over when nothing is new to report.

I remember back when I was a young child, my mother’s wise advice: “MYOB.” “Mind your own business.” Usually said to me if I tattled on my younger brother, or stuck my quickly-growing nose into my parents' business when not invited to do so.

Jason ProvencioPublished about a year ago in The SwampThe Societal Paradox of Charity
Charities are often viewed as a sort of distant relative that will always be a safe space for you at your "worst". We don't want to see them, but we are ultimately glad that they exist for our benefit. As thankful as I am that charities do exist, I do worry that we, as a society put too much credence on their existence as a whole, as a perpetual charity worker, Charities may be philanthropic and filled with good people, but they are corruptible, and they are being corrupted to their core as we speak.
