Last week, Paul Ryan gave an interview in which, defending his position that there should be no excuses for abortion, he referred to rape as a “method of conception.”
Wow, right? Talk about a benign euphemism. Rape —RAPE! — is now a “method of conception.” You know, like love-making, just without the love.
There could be no greater testament to...

The Anger Behind the Story

Coates’s article — called “Fear of a Black President” — looks back at Obama’s 2008 campaign, and his pledge to reckon with race.
