Why the awful Trump ad? Racism is one helluva drug (Opinion)
President Donald Trump is at it again, tweeting a thinly veiled racist attack ad designed to turn out his white base for the midterm elections. According to CNN exit polls 57% of white people voted for Trump in 2016. He needs them to come out and vote Tuesday to keep a Republican majority in Congress. The ad shows some frightening video of an undocumented immigrant from Mexico talking about killing police in the past and hopefully (he says, as he is led away by authorities) in the future.

The Uncertain Art of the American Compliment
American civility is having a rough time of it these days. Many self-appointed guardians of civility have responded with hand-wringing alarm at the very idea that those who disagree with the Trump administration should venture to call it out.

Opinion: Georgetown's apology falls short
As a Georgetown University alumna (L'83), law professor, and a recovering administrator, I have followed the recent developments at Georgetown with a special interest. The university would likely not still be in existence without the sale of slaves from Jesuit plantations in 1838. As an alumna, I question whether I would have attended Georgetown if I had known. I also wonder what I owe the descendants of the 272 slaves as a result of receiving my law degree from Georgetown.

Scalia and the misguided 'mismatch' theory
Scalia is reported to have said on Wednesday: "There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school, a less -- a slower-track school where they do well." He was referring to the "mismatch theory." That theory couldn't be more wrong. The mismatch theory was described in 2004 by UCLA law professor Richard Sander in the Stanford Law Review.
What Hillary Clinton is missing on #BlackLivesMatter - CNN.com
The clip, however, is worth watching. We observed a white woman and a black man talking about racial issues. They were largely talking past one another, but they were at least talking. While Martin Luther King Jr. said church is the most segregated hour in America, I believe moments spent talking about race are the most segregated moments in America. We don't tend to talk about race with people of a different race.
The power of white outrage
South Carolina state Rep. Jenny Horne is an overnight national hero because of her speech Wednesday night on the South Carolina House floor, where she argued for the "immediate and swift removal" of the Confederate flag.

Her remarks were powerful and emotional, and the emotion I recognized was anger.

Did cops learn from mistakes of Ferguson?
We've seen this movie before. Spoiler Alert: Cop gets away with it. Routine stops for walking in the middle of the street or driving with a broken taillight -- these should not result in anyone's death. But time and again it ends with a black man dead in the street and the community has no recourse. This time the stage was set in North Charleston, South Carolina, a city of about 100,000 people.

Why black voters didn't help GOP win
On Tuesday, voters across the country appeared to offer a rebuke to the administration of President Barack Obama by voting into office many Republicans, who now will control the Senate and the House of Representatives.
