Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

Sam and the crew skewer racists’ claims that somehow racists are discriminated against because they are called out for being racist.

Afterthought:

I remember when my father, who grew up under Jim Crow, as did I, said to me late in his life, “I’m glad those days are gone.”

Well, those days–or, more properly, the hatred and bigotry and greed and exploitation (read “theft of labor”) that created them–are not gone, though they may have been slightly in eclipse.

Over half a century ago, Richard Nixon’s odious “Southern Strategy” invited racists to join his political party. Now that “Southern Strategy” has come full circle and consumed Nixon’s party, so that today we have a political party dedicated to bringing back Jim Crow.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
