Re: WANTED: June - August 2022 FICTION suggestions!

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'...

America will be eternally mediocre.

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...

I am reading Emmanuel Acho's 'Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man' right now. In it he goes through the labels traditionally used for black people (when will we as a species stop using labels) and touches on BIPOC. BIPOC, he writes, is more a "synonym for minority." From what I s...

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...
