Darrell's articles
You can find my articles, editorials, and letters here which have been published in different magazines, newspapers, and online webpages.
- Happiness over righteousness
- The quest for righteousness estranges people from each other; the quest for happiness enables them to get past their shortcomings and connect with each other.
- Christianity before Christ?
- ... the birthday of the Sun-god was celebrated in the temples on the 25th of December; it was the first day of the Winter solstice. At the midnight hour, on the very first minute of the 25th of December, the birth of the sun was commemorated.
- Reparations for slavery?
- ... my letter to the editor on reparations for African-Americans sparked a city-wide debate that played out in the local newspapers almost everyday. The following is my letter and a few of the responses that followed.
- AIDS hoax
- By renaming the acronym AIDS and hanging it on the gays as well as posing it as a serious threat to heterosexuals too, CDC had an instant success! No other big lie in history has had the impact of the concoction called AIDS.
- Media vs. Michael Jackson
- The Reverend Jesse Jackson was correct when he asserted that Michael Jackson was tried and convicted in the newsroom.
- Terrorism Nothing New
- In the black community, this was the type of justice (or “just us” as we used to say) that we had to live with.
