The Cable TV News Show I’d Pay Double to See

1 week ago | williamspivey.medium.com | William Spivey

“Answer the Damn Question!”Watching Cable news or opinion shows is a frustrating experience.

Ask them anything, and they thank you for having them on the show and giving them a chance to set the record straight. Then, they talk about whatever they want to talk about, fending off any attempts at interruption until it’s time for a commercial.

The movement started in Europe, the idea that white Christian identity is being threatened by ethnic diversity and multiculturalism. It may have been new to America when chants of “You will not replace us” and “Jews will not replace us” were heard at the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in August 2017.

How O.J. Simpson Changed America

2 weeks ago | williamspivey.substack.com | William Spivey

Orenthal James Simpson changed America. He was known by the initials OJ or his nickname, the Juice. Unless you are of a certain age, you don’t really know OJ; it’s just what people have told you about him. He was one of America’s greatest athletes, yet at an early age, he battled with rickets and wore braces on his legs until age five. Ironically, one of the treatments for rickets in children was vitamin D and calcium supplements found in some versions of orange juice.
What if Every Industry Complied with Trump's DEI Orders

Who and what would be erased from history? In a rush to complete the task before Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited the Naval Academy, officials removed items commemorating female Jewish graduates. Hegseth's visit happened on April Fool's Day, but this wasn't a joke. The military has recently removed references to Black heroes like Colin Powell and Jackie Robinson from the Arlington Cemetery website and the Navajo Code Talkers from a Pentagon site, all in the name of erasing DEI.

With the crash bringing down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, attention has come to the man himself. You know Francis Scott Key, don’t you? He wrote the Star-Spangled Banner. But how much do you know about him? Thanks to my high school classmate, Jefferson Morley, whose book Snow-Storm in August features Key, I know much more than I did.

How Using the “N-Word” Was Invented to Keep from Constantly Repeating a Racial Slur on National Television

2 weeks ago | williamspivey.substack.com | William Spivey

The death of OJ Simpson brought back several images from his life, most revolving around the time just preceding and during his infamous trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Much of the news coverage focused on the slow-speed chase in his white Ford Bronco when he was alleged to have a gun and to be suicidal. Every news network dropped coverage while waiting to see if OJ would kill himself rather than turn himself into the authorities.
