People of Color Tags!
The terms “people of color” and “white” are as as racist as the N word. Being Black is a real thing because of the prejudice a Black skin evokes AND because of the pride Black Americans have in who they are. The term “people of color” began as away of other ethnic[...]

“The family of a Colorado man who was fatally shot last year by a deputy … after calling 911 for help when his SUV got stuck … will receive a $19 million settlement” from the state and local municipalities, NBC News reported on Tuesday, May 23, 2022 (read story here). Two dep[...]
Colorado offers new evidence the GOP is turning off its own voters
Do Republicans’ problems go beyond voter antipathy to Trump? Is the GOP a Superfund site? At this point, that’s a belief and attitude among Democrats, but there’s not a lot of hard evidence. GOP candidates underperformed in 2022, but the high-profile losers were almost exclusively [...]
Colorado school proves CRT is true
Critical race theory (CRT) argues racism is systemic in the U.S. That perhaps varies from place to place, but school officials in Douglas County, Colorado, leave no doubt it’s systemic in their schools, and they’re part of it. “The racism experienced by a family in the Douglas Coun[...]

Why do people who shouldn’t have guns still have them?

Colorado primary: Boebert wins, rogue county clerk loses and whines
Flamboyant Rep. Lauren Boebert was virtually assured of returning to Congress for the 2023-2025 term after handily winning the Republican primary. She crushed her challenger by a 2-to-1 margin, and there’s little chance the deep-red district in western Colorado will elect the Democrat in Novem[...]

Colorado candidate wants to eliminate popular vote
Colorado’s governor is whoever wins the most votes. The same is true of Colorado’s other state offices. Greg Lopez, mayor of Parker, Colorado, doesn’t like that. He’s running for governor, and it means Denver (pop. 715,522) can outvote Parker (58,512). So Lopez, a Republican,[...]
