Frankly, if I ever had a neo-con decoder ring on hold for me, they must have taken it away long ago for, among other things, being very anti-Iraq-war, very pro-gay-rights and pro-gay-marriage, and for voting for Clinton and Kerry (although I did vote for the execrable loser Bob Barr in the last election, since Obama was taking California and I’m fiscally conservative and socially libertarian).

While these tiny little thugs go on and on about how I’m “racist,” I actually get off my ass and do volunteer work to make things better for “at-risk” kids. I created a program called WIT: What It Takes, that I’d like to see administered across the country by Boys and Girls Clubs of America. At the moment, I speak once a month at an inner-city school to demystify “making it,” and, no, not in a pointy white hat and a sheet, just my street clothes.

And, finally, while some idiot on Sadly Juvenile recently claimed that my site was largely “Judeo-Christian,” or something along those lines, I’m actually a staunch atheist with a business card reading “Amy Alkon, godless harlot,” and I attend a lot of evolutionary psych conferences. And, no, I’m not standing outside holding up a cross and shouting — I’m in there hearing the latest research so I can put out evidence-based science in my column.

Since you seem a bit unclear on why they started going after me, I’ll post a bit of a comment I posted on my site and Patterico’s to clear it up:

Their hatred is mostly due to their continuing need for a new kickball, and loosely connected to the fact that I blogged my opinion that black activists like Jesse Jackson should work to stigmatize single motherhood in the black community. I blogged that after reading a news story about an Ohio woman named Tarika Wilson, who had six different children by five different drug dealers by the age of 24, and was living, along with her children, with one of those drug dealers. Mmm, wholesome!

Yes, I’m of the mind that children need daddies, and that you don’t bring more children into the world than you can afford to feed and care for. Crazy, I know.

Wilson, tragically (but not surprisingly) was killed in a SWAT raid on her home when police came for her drug dealer boyfriend. Live with a drug dealer, die in a SWAT raid…it’s not a surprising outcome. Wilson herself spent a year in prison. I wonder who took care of her children during that time.

And yes, I also believe white children need daddies, and I’m appalled that there’s a trend for rich white women to be “single mothers by choice,” but, apparently, in the minds of these “progressives,” if you criticize a black person, it automatically means you’re racist.

The Wilson story and Sadly Juvenile’s attacks on me are actually detailed in Chapter 9: Modems Without Manners, in the book the tiny little thugs are “reviewing” but haven’t read. Just so ugly, what they’re doing.

Thanks for listening, and thanks again for your post.
