A half-century after his death, Martin Luther King, Jr. is as revered as ever. But have we been following his example, or merely paying lip service to his ideas? Jason Riley, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, weighs in.
Racism
Playing the Black Card
In America, there’s a card more valuable than any card from Visa or American Express. What is it? How can you get one? Candace Owens, Communications Director for Turning Point USA, answers these questions.
How Democrats Can Stop NeoNazis
My good friend Daniel Greenfield analyzes the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In Dallas, a black nationalist activist shot and killed 5 police officers at a Black Lives Matter anti-police rally. Instead of condemning BLM, Barack Obama defended a racist hate group whose role model is Assata Shakur, a wanted black nationalist cop killer, at the funerals of the murdered officers.
The left killed civil rights and replaced it with black nationalism. The racial supremacism of black nationalism that killed those officers is everywhere. Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi are lionized as brilliant thinkers instead of hateful racists, Amazon has ordered a black nationalist secessionist fantasy from Aaron McGruder and Showtime aired ‘Guerilla,’ a miniseries glamorizing Black Panther terrorism.
But racism is a two-way street. So is violence. Extremists feed into each other.

O (rwellian) U Speech
The facts seem simple. A bunch (not sure how many) of drunken frat boys from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at Oklahoma University were taped chanting about ten seconds of a racist song.
There will never be a nigger at SAE
There will never be a nigger at SAE
You can hang him from a tree
But he’ll never sign with me
There will never be a nigger at SAE.
The national fraternity has now banned the chapter. OU has closed the doors to the SAE frat house and told everyone living there to find a new place to live. Two students have been expelled.
Howard (no last name given), the frat house cook and a black man, is now out of a job. Mercifully, some OU alumni have taken up a collection on his behalf.
Howard is collateral liberal damage.
