Intermarriage: A Real Measure Of Race Relations

Naomi Schaefer Reilly, Dec. 29, 2014, New York Post

Our liberal elites have plainly decided it’s better if we’re all convinced that our country had made no progress on race since 1960, that lying just beneath the surface of every white person is a gurgling volcano of racial epithets ready to spew forth at the slightest provocation.

The current trend toward chronicling “microaggressions” (bits of racism so small you might not even see them as racism) is, if anything, evidence of the lack of a problem

Naomi Schaefer Riley: Intermarriage: A Real Measure Of Race Relations

Will we look back on the early 2000s as the pinnacle of racial harmony in this country?

It seems an odd question, but a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll found that only 40 percent of Americans think race relations in this country are good, the lowest level since 1995.

Charles Blow, for one, isn’t worried. The New York Times columnist looks at the figure “optimistically.” He writes, “I see the result of vociferous truth-telling and justice-calling, in the face of which fairy-tale obliviousness is reduced to ashes.”

In other words, we’ve spent so much time in the past year ripping the bandages off that we can finally expose our racial wounds and let them begin to air out and heal.

What a load of malarkey.

As depressing as that poll is, it’s only about Americans’ perceptions. The reality is far different.

The miniscule number of blacks shot by white police officers has only declined further in recent decades. Meanwhile, our educational institutions are almost single-mindedly devoted to producing racial diversity. The KKK is not on the march.

To understand the real state of race relations in this country, consider this: In 1960, multiracial marriages were only 0.4 percent of all marriages. By 2010, that figure had jumped to 8.4 and was at 15 percent for recent newlyweds.

CNN Is Lying When They Say Ferguson Protests Were ‘Peaceful’

Naomi Schaefer Riley, Nov. 29, 2014, New York Post

Where are these peaceful protesters? The reporters can’t seem to find any. Instead, they turn to outside experts and some carefully vetted religious leaders to talk about “the real message” of the protests.

On Tuesday night, CNN correspondent Jason Carroll was reporting, “Most of the protesting we saw in front of the Ferguson Police Department tonight was peaceful.” Then as he started trying to explain the fires burning behind him, he was approached by three of the protesters, who proceeded to get in his face and yell at him because he was promoting a “certain narrative” — the police narrative. “You don’t understand!” one screamed.
