I unabashedly nominate one of my own, "An Unlikely Messiah', by me, David Hight. https://www.amazon.com/Unlikely-Messiah-David-Hight/dp/1693252872 The story itself is rather bizarre, but interesting, about a mixed-race young man (Yaqui and Irish) raised traveling the carnival circuit with his ...

Re: America will be eternally mediocre.
Thank you for your reply. Interbane. I do agree that the country is anything but mediocre, both in its wide variances of land and interesting personalities. I get upset that more people can't see the opportunity that we have. We have no problems in this country, everything would be fine if it weren'...

I recently wrote a very nice piece on the underlying progressive/conservative ideals that I feel are fueling the abortion debate, I'm not going to post it anywhere. Why? Because before I did post it, I read what somebody else had wrote, stating that there is nothing anybody could say to sway anybod...

Re: Racism as a primal instinct.
There's a lot of common sense in what you say here, and a sensible approach to our implicit bias against those who are "other." But I want to put in a few words for complication. First, another primal instinct is to prefer dominance, and the real issue with racism is not the wariness of d...

Racism as a primal instinct.
I’d like to briefly state who I am and why I care about racism before delving into the subject matter. I’m a writer who crafts tales of literary fiction inspired by my observations of human nature, and although I’m not well known or well paid, I do have a couple of novels out on the market, along wi...

BIPOC? Now really isn't a good time for such a thing. Or maybe... it is.
A little book with a big message. First paragraph preview. BIPOC is an acronym which stands for, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, but there’s also a larger, more important meaning behind the acronym, it gives a name to a deep-rooted sentiment held by some Americans, that we are a white suprem...
