Defending the Constitution: The ‘Three-Fifths Compromise’ Was Not Based on Racism
Commentary This is the second in a series of essays answering defamatory charges leveled against the U.S. Constitution. The first in the series addressed the allegation that the Constitution discriminated against women. In fact, as that essay showed, the framers took pains to ensure the document was gender-neutral. Another false charge is that the Constitution…

Commentary The purpose of the woke “antiracism” movement launched by some members of the educational, media, and political elite, together with race activists, has always been to elevate its proclaimers above other members of the elite.

On the Peculiar Character of American ‘Racism’
Commentary That America is a racist country is the great self-evident truth of the Left and of the ruling class whose moral opinions are shaped by it. This truth is self-evident in the sense of being readily apparent to them, as evidenced by the countless disparities in life outcomes between blacks and whites. No explanation for these…
Why Woke History Is Not the Answer
Wilfred Reilly The United States may be the first country in history to tell a “noble lie” about its past that makes that past look worse, not better, than it actually was.
