A first-of-its-kind study by the Almanac of Philanthropy (that’s a great name, isn’t it?) recently uncovered the most charitable population on earth—the United States. That’s right, the American population outstrips all others in gifts to charity! Here are some of the numbers: In a first of its kind survey, the Almanac found that Americans out-donate […]

I wasn’t finished mining awkward topics for conversation, so today I’m going to talk about why no one says nice things about slavery. Turns out, people are blackwashing slavery for the same reason people are blackwashing Hitler: so they can excuse themselves from any […]
