Such discrimination can be as to
properly selecting:
1. Mind-and-spirit elevating classical
and jazz music vs that “rap” and “hip hop”
ravings as support murder and abuse of women;

teachings of Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Sikhs as support
peace vs those of the Nazis, Atheistic Communists and
Muslims which inflict terrorism on the world;
3. Such poetry as reflects
craftsmanship vs the unorganized flushing of apparently
random non-thoughts as come from the distorted minds of those who
claim to be poets;
4. The facts that young Black youths commit more violent crimes than
those of other races (As properly noted by the Rev. Jessie Jackson as
to groups of youths as might be following him down a dark street) vs
the claim that acknowledging such reality is race “discrimination”;

Those immigrants who legally come into the USA with those skills and cultural conditioning as will improve our Republic Vs. those who: Illegally enter the USA in violation of our democratically enacted laws; Bring with them diseases; Bring other parents' children and cast them on our stressed social services agencies OR sell them into child prostitution; Increase the common good of the USA by providing goods and such services as do NOT depress wages or steal jobs from the poorest of our fellow citizens.
If no one else does so, at least
journalists should use the best definitions of words.
