Morality and Abstract Thinking: Noted author Gedaliah Braun argues that a deficiency in abstract thinking capacity accounts for significant behavioral, cultural and civilizational attributes of blacks, based on 30 years of observation and research in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Braun shows that native African dialects such as Zulu have no words to describe concepts which are taken for granted in the West, and upon which Western morality and ethics are grounded.
In The Real Obama, F. Roger Devlin reviews America’s Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama’s “Story of Race and Inheritance,” by Steve Sailer. This book looks at Obama’s upbringing and career, and his own writings, which reveal a man obsessed with his racial identity. Mr. Sailer contrasts this with the politician who repackaged himself as a race reconciler with “crossover” appeal to whites — who will now occupy the highest office in the land.
In Racy Talk, assistant editor Stephen Webster reviews the new film “A Conversation About Race” written, produced and directed by Craig Bodeker. In this well-crafted film, Mr. Bodeker conducted interviews with whites and blacks on their feelings about race and racism. The tangled results are eye-opening, with whites who are obsessed over racial guilt and blacks who are obsessed with perceived racism wherever they look. Mr. Bodeker concludes that “racism” as a concept is essentially a one-sided assault on whites as a group.
