Hose was a Black man who was accused of brutally murdering his employer, the employer’s wife and the […]
Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Congressman Tim Burchette referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “DEI hire” in racially coded subtext suggesting she is unqualified for her position because she is a woman of color.

Activists and political experts say former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks at a Christian summit are a threat to Black Americans and signal a troubling sign that he intends to make good on his promise to be a dictator if reelected – at least on “day one,” as he’s previously indicated. “In four years, you won’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good you’re not gonna have to vote,” said Trump as he urged white Christians at […]
Though you would never know it today, before he was selected as Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate, J.D. Vance repeatedly called out Trump and the Republican Party’s politics of racism.

Gov. Austin Davis told theGrio. “I’m certainly concerned for sure that folks have […]
Several groups are calling on President Joe Biden and his administration to do more to protect diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) following a series of successful court battles led by conservative groups. The Fearless Fund, which provides grants to Black women-owned businesses, recently had its program suspended by a federal appeals court over the claim that it discriminates against white business owners. The fund’s co-founder Arian Simone has since called on President Biden to take executive action to “safeguard DEI […]
Black culture was live and in full effect Monday at the White House as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a Juneteenth celebration concert to commemorate the upcoming federal holiday that honors the ending of U.S. slavery and the granting of freedoms for formerly enslaved Black Americans. Thousands of invited guests – almost exclusively Black – descended on the White House South Lawn for the nearly two-hour musical concert that saw performances from new and seasoned Black […]
Rumored Republican vice presidential contender, Senator Tim Scott, R-S.C., recently stopped by CNN to rip Donald Trump’s guilty verdict on 34 felonies in the New York hush money trial. Like most of Trump’s VP contenders, Senator Scott dismissed Trump’s conviction as being nothing more than political partisanship, claiming the charges of falsifying business records were “the weaponization of the justice system” by President Joe Biden, despite Biden having no oversight of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which brought the […]
Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Are white people OK? On Thursday, a New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree as part of a coverup to hide payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” said the convicted felon who once […]
