America Not So Racist After All, Black Ex-Cop Concludes in Reality Check
Brandon Tatum, a black former police officer in Tucson, Arizona, says he used to be a liberal but became a conservative through a personal evolution.
“I started out like most young, black men in the country, where default is being liberal. Default is being a Democrat,” Tatum explains, adding:
All of the Democrat positions that you see most African American men believing today is what I believed before, even though I wasn’t politically involved as much as I am today. But over time, I began to wake up and be more involved, and I woke up to what the reality was. A lot of that happened when I was in college. I started to see that the country isn’t as racist as I thought it was.

Winners and quitters at the Global Pandemic Olympics Why celebrating mental defeat is an attack on Simone Biles herself Follow Us
Question of the Day
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Not since the athlete formerly known as “Bruce” Jenner quit manhood has an American quitter been more celebrated than elite gymnast Simone Biles. Perhaps it is something of an indictment of this year’s Global Pandemic Olympics that the most exciting event thus far has been the women’s 800-meter dash for the quitting line.
Certainly, mental health is vitally important, and people struggling with mental issues should get help.
But it seems a little premature to declare someone a “hero” simply because she felt forced to quit something over mental problems or any other kind of problem. It is like crowning a guy a “hero” because he had to quit work to go to the hospital to have his prostate removed.
