Blacks and whites see racism in the United States very, very differently President Donald Trump's various responses to clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville this weekend drew widespread condemnation, but also brought decades-old questions to the surface of American political and moral discourse. "I think there is blame on both sides," Trump said Tuesday, reverting back to the wording from a statement he made Saturday that pointed blame at counter-protesters as much as white supremacists. "I'm not putting anybody on a moral plane ... I thought what took place was a horrible moment ... but there are two sides."

The same percentage of Republicans say such language should be avoided because it could encourage violence, while 83 percent of Democrats agree.
Bleachgate is the archetype of a Trump media cycle We all remember the old saw. Your mom asks you why you did something and you respond that your friend or cousin thought it was a good idea. To which Mom gamely replies, "Would you jump off a bridge if Michael told you to do it? Okay then, don't shoot BB guns at Neighbor Dick's window. It doesn't matter if he's on vacation." McDonald’s Workers in Denmark Pity Us Kristina Hansen, 27, who works at a nonunion hamburger chain called Cock’s & Cows, told me she is now thinking of buying an apartment. Surprised, I noted that few Americans working at hamburger chains are buying their own homes, and we discussed American fast-food pay. “How can they survive on that money over there?” she asked me.
The American Myths of Westward Expansion That Just Won't Die When we first got together in our early twenties, my boyfriend and I, both fresh out of college, would fight regularly about the pioneers. We fought about the pioneers on long car trips through the scorched and gleaming landscapes of California, while walking the blooming streets of San Francisco, the city where we were both from, and while cooking dinner in our first apartment, and then our second (hard to imagine a time we could afford an apartment in San Francisco.) Because we were both raised in California, we’d been steeped in the narrative of westward expansion, of manifest destiny, of California as the landscape where hardscrabble dreams came true—be it our own, my father’s, my great grandfather’s, the millions of migrants and explorers (or were they invaders?)

A Nation's Story: "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass gave a keynote address at an Independence Day celebration and asked, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" Douglass was a powerful orator, often traveling six months out of the year to give lectures on abolition. His speech was delivered at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, held at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York. It was a scathing speech in which Douglass stated, "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine, You may rejoice, I must mourn." In his speech, Douglass acknowledged the Founding Fathers of America, the architects of the Declaration of Independence, for their commitment to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness":
