    The Racial Wealth Gap - A Brief...

    Why has the racial wealth gap between the median white households and median Black households remained stagnant over the past century, never narrowing below six to one? Leading expert on race and financial equality Mehrsa Baradaran attempts to answer this question in this sweeping yet accessible history. She shows how decades of the laws rooted in white supremacy have restricted Black access to capital, credit, homeownership, and other mechanisms of wealth creation while subsidizing the rising economic fortunes of white families. 
     
    In The Racial Wealth Gap, Baradaran outlines two tectonic forces that have driven apart the economic fortunes of white and Black families: wealth creation for white Americans, who have been systematically receiving financial subsidies in the century and a half since emancipation, and wealth destruction for Black Americans—either by vigilante violence or by official means, such as allowing Black banks to collapse or building highways through segregated Black communities. These forces, combined with the racist notion that Black communities fail to rise because of their own moral, intellectual, or economic shortcomings, have kept Black families behind their white counterparts, despite decades of civil rights activism and national economic growth—a deep injustice that can only be achieved through reparations.

    Native American Mythology - Gods...

    Native American mythology offers a rich tapestry of stories that convey the spiritual and cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America. These myths, rooted in oral traditions, have been passed down through generations, serving as both entertainment and a means of preserving the values, history, and beliefs of their communities. By delving into these narratives, one gains a deeper understanding of how Native Americans viewed the world, their relationship with nature, and their connection to the divine.  
    Unlike written records, Native American myths were shared through storytelling, ceremonies, and rituals. This oral tradition allowed stories to evolve, adapting to the needs and experiences of each generation. Despite their variations, these myths often shared common themes: the creation of the world, the interconnectedness of all living beings, and the moral lessons intended to guide individuals and communities.  
    Central to many of these stories is the reverence for nature and its elements. Native American tribes saw the natural world not as a resource to be exploited but as a sacred system in which every being—whether animal, plant, or element—played a vital role. The wind, sun, moon, and stars were not mere phenomena but active participants in the world’s story, often personified as gods, spirits, or ancestors.

    25 Shocking Facts About North...

    North Korea remains one of the most secretive and isolated countries in the world, a nation shrouded in mystery and tightly controlled by its ruling regime. With limited access to information and heavy restrictions on communication with the outside world, understanding what life is truly like inside North Korea has long been a challenge. Despite these barriers, researchers, defectors, and investigative journalists have gradually revealed shocking details about the country’s inner workings.  
      
    The foundation of modern North Korea was established in the aftermath of World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was divided into two separate states. The North, under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, adopted a rigid communist ideology and built a powerful authoritarian regime. Over the decades, this system evolved into a personality cult centered around the ruling Kim family, with Kim Jong-il and later Kim Jong-un continuing to hold absolute control. This dynasty has enforced strict obedience through propaganda, fear, and isolation from the global community.  
      
    Every aspect of life in North Korea is closely monitored. Citizens are subjected to relentless surveillance, with state informants reporting on friends, neighbors, and even family members. This climate of fear ensures that few dare to challenge the regime. Education, media, and cultural expression are all carefully controlled to reinforce loyalty to the Kim family. Information from the outside world is heavily restricted, and those caught accessing foreign media face severe punishment.

    What could have happened to me?... How did I soar to such heights, above the rabble sitting by the well?
     
    Ecce Homo is Nietzsche's compelling autobiography, written in 1888, just weeks before he succumbed to madness. Nietzsche's last great work, a fascinating and bizarre text, traces the development of his own philosophy and the thinkers who influenced him along the way.
     
    Both shocking and revealing, Ecce Homo is a window into the mind of one of Germany's most acclaimed philosophers.
