Racism
[Disclosure: This column contains offensive language, in context, necessary for understanding.] I probably wouldn’t want Jon Gruden as a friend, but would I not hire him as a football coach? I’ll answer that in a minute, but first I’ll bring you up to date with what created

The Philadelphia Sixers are adding three women — including two lesbians, and four white men — including two paraplegics, to its 18-person roster, said owner and managing partner Josh Harris in a news conference this afternoon. “These changes are being made in the interest of diversity, inclusion and equity,” said the super-woke

Ernest Owens is a smart guy, very smart. He’s probably smarter than I am. I know he is better educated. He got a full ride to the University of Pennsylvania. I know that because he has written about it, about how Penn is racist, and Penn is homophobic. Owens
Racism
Do Democrats understand how much they hurt themselves when they say it’s racist to want to have people present photo ID in order to vote? A recent Monmouth University poll, consistent with earlier polls, reported that an overwhelming 80% of Americans support presenting photo ID in order to be

I think most of you here at Stubykofsky.com are better informed than the average person. I don’t say that to flatter you, but because I believe it to be true. I don’t write for the lowest common denominator. So you probably know that in some areas of

There is a cure for ignorance. It is called education. But what is the cure for educators who manufacture ignorance? I recommend ridicule. Meet Dr. Donald Moss, who recently published a “paper” titled “On Having Whiteness,” in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. The editor should have his head
Critical Race Theory
Let’s talk about CRT — Critical Race Theory, in the news now because (primarily) conservatives don’t want it taught in the schools their children attend. But to discuss it, we have to understand it. What is it? I have looked around what I’ve found reminds me of the
Democracy
We are falling apart, becoming the Disunited States of America. I have never seen anything like it before. Red States, Blue States. Neighbor against neighbor. Once shared American values have evaporated, like steam from a kettle. Everything — from our history and national identity, to our reliance on capitalism — is in

When Lord Acton wrote that power corrupts, he could have had Lori Lightfoot in mind. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, no, she is not a supporting character on a zany teen TV series carried by some obscure cable network. She is actually the mayor of Chicago, she
Politics
President Joe Biden, sitting on a fragile 54% approval rating, you will deliver your State of the Union message tonight, which traditionally is upbeat, positive and confident. Although your approval rating is low — better only than Donald J. Trump’s at this stage of his presidency, meaning both of you
Police
Here’s something I won’t put on Facebook because I just don’t have the patience to deal with the irrational blowback. In recent posts I have shown that police kill twice as many whites as Blacks, that the overall number of deaths is tiny when placed among millions
Police
The conviction of Derek Chauvin presents an opportune time to take a fresh look at the police killing of Black people. Many Americans — including Philonise Floyd, Rev. Al Sharpton, Geraldo Rivera, LeBron James, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Sixers coach Doc Waters — have said in different words — and appear to believe
