By Amy Hunter of The Outnumbered Mother If you’ve glanced at a newspaper or a television or the internet in the past 20 years, you’ve realized that there are many people walking around who shouldn’t have children. Like, “maybe forced sterilization isn’t such a bad idea or an inhumane conclusion” sort of people. I watch…

Just days after Heather Heyer was murdered and over a dozen others were badly injured by an Alt-Right protester who ran his Dodge Charger into a group of counter-protesters at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Fox News Digital has deleted a post encouraging its readers to run over protesters with cars.

“I Wish I Was Black,” I Said to My Father
“I wish I was black.” I was probably 12 years old or so when I said this, and I was 100% sincere. In that moment, looking out the window as the rural landscape of western New York flew past, barely undulating and never ending, I couldn’t have been more sincere. My life was basketball and…
