Looking back, it was presented as such a harmless, innocent, fun activity. It’s completely safe, my neighbor said, adding under her breath, “most of the time.” The way she said it I was reminded of prescription drug commercials where everyone looks so happy but the low voice in the background is saying side effects include […] The post Weekend humor from Celia Rivenbark: Coping with pickleball addiction appeared first on NC Newsline.

2024/06/21

In a matter of days, the United States Supreme Court will decide the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass. But no matter what it rules, one thing is for sure, it will not solve America’s homelessness and housing crisis. Johnson is the case the court is reviewing to determine if cities have the right to […] The post Supreme Court ruling in homelessness case will not solve America’s housing crisis appeared first on NC Newsline.

The North Carolina Supreme Court refused to sanction two Republican judges, even though those judges admitted that they had violated ethics rules, according to an explosive new report from ProPublica. This sends a clear message that there’s a double standard for judicial ethics in North Carolina. Republican judges can do whatever they want, while Democrats […]The post N.C Supreme Court sends a message: Ethics rules don’t apply to Republican judges appeared first on NC Newsline.

What in the world could they have been thinking? That’s one of the questions (or, at least, one hopes it is) that most white Americans ask themselves periodically when contemplating the evil of human slavery – the institution that undergirds so much of their modern privilege and wealth. How could any human being ever think […]The post Juneteenth holiday: An important moment to contemplate our nation’s past and present appeared first on NC Newsline.

2024/06/12

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, I occasionally taught workshops for local nonprofit organizations whose members wanted to learn how unconscious biases could lead to discriminatory behavior that maintains racial and gender inequalities. This was right down my alley as a sociologist. For years, I studied, taught about, and published about these matters, drawing […]The post The UNC System’s ‘institutional neutrality’ policy will promote inequality appeared first on NC

Sometimes, you just have to hand it to Republican leaders at the North Carolina General Assembly. When it comes to heavy-handed tactics and turning the serious business of lawmaking into a cynical political game, few do it better. Over the years, GOP leaders have transformed dozens of legislative proposals into new state laws with a […]The post A lousy way to make some very important and problematic new law appeared first on NC Newsline.

You could call this a crisis situation. Last week, with virtually no warning, state Senate Republicans pushed through a bill that will further harm fair elections and policymaking in North Carolina.
