    Can This White Guy Talk About Racism?

    Please help me to understand something. I'm not a Muslim, but I can speak about Islam. I'm not gay, but I can address LGBT issues. I'm not an atheist, but I can address atheism. Yet when I weigh in constructively on racial issues in America, I'm told I have no right to speak or, worse still, I'm accused of racism. Why is that?

    Hollywood Sells Sex and Enables Predators

    My purpose is to confront the larger hypocrisy of Hollywood, an industry that has made billions of dollars selling sex, an industry that encourages all kinds of sexploitation.

  • Why I Agreed to Speak at an Anti-Zionism Conference

    Why I Agreed to Speak at an Anti-Zionism Conference

    Why did I agree to speak a conference that I have blasted in the past for being anti-Zionistic and perhaps even anti-Semitic? Why I am participating in an event that has been used to propagate what I have branded "a deadly anti-Israel theological error"? (I meant the word "deadly" quite literally.)

    Do the NFL Protests Disrespect the Flag?

    Colin Kaepernick said his protest was all about the flag. The NFL Players Union, which supports the players' right to kneel, stated that the protests are not about the flag.

    Why Transgender Activism Will Fail: Biological Differences Are Real

    Transgender activism will never succeed in reshaping our society for one simple reason: It is not natural. Biological differences are too deeply instilled in the human race. Male-female distinctives are too obvious and real. It is futile to declare war on gender.

    What Alfred Kinsey and Hugh Hefner Had in Common

    If Hugh Hefner was the poster boy of the sexual revolution, Alfred Kinsey was the father of the revolution. But that is not the only thing that joins these men together.

    If You Fell Asleep in 1961 and Woke Up Today

    Tonight is TV night, and everyone is ready to enjoy "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Leave It to Beaver." You doze off and when you wake up a few minutes later, everything has changed. Instead of the smiling Cleaver family, it's a nude couple going on their first date together. You change the channel and find two men making out passionately while taking off each other's clothes. You click once more, and this time it's two young moms with their daughters—they're both 16 and unmarried—and their babies wer

    Is This YouTube Video Really Unsuitable for Viewers Under 18?

    There's never a dull moment in our dealings with YouTube. In the latest twist, our video commentary on "What God Is Saying through the Vegas Massacre" has been age-restricted, deemed not suitable for viewers under 18. Really?

  • No, Shaun King, 'Whiteness' Does Not Prevent Men From Being Labeled Terrorists

    No, Shaun King, 'Whiteness' Does Not Prevent Men From Being Labeled Terrorists

    King wrote an article, arguing that had the shooter been an immigrant and/or a Muslim, the massacre would have been dubbed an act of terror. But because the shooter was white and enjoyed white privilege, his whiteness prevented him from being labeled a terrorist. Claims like this are as unhelpful as they are inaccurate.

    A Divided America Cannot Stand: Now Is Not the Time to Blame Others

    A house divided against itself cannot stand. This is a message America needs to hear again. We are literally tearing ourselves apart. And so, rather than the Vegas massacre drawing us together, it is being politicized and propagandized, often in the most vulgar ways. Is there no respect for the dead and grieving?
