'A Censored Race War'
Thomas Sowell:
A wave of such attacks in Chicago were reported, but not the race of the attackers or victims. Media outlets that do not report the race of people committing crimes nevertheless report racial disparities in imprisonment and write heated editorials blaming the criminal-justice system.I tremble for my country.We are a powder keg waiting to explode and at some point someone is going to be successful in liting the fuse and all we loved will be be gone forever and the United States will be an epitaph written in the history books.God help us all.
What the authorities and the media seem determined to suppress is that the hoodlum elements in many ghettoes launch coordinated attacks on whites in public places. If there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over.
It may be understandable that some people want to head off such a catastrophe, either by not reporting the attacks in this race war, or by not identifying the race of those attacking, or by insisting that the attacks were not racially motivated — even when the attackers themselves voice anti-white invective as they laugh at their bleeding victims.
Trying to keep the lid on is understandable. But a lot of pressure can build up under that lid. If and when that pressure leads to an explosion of white backlash, things could be a lot worse than if the truth had come out earlier, and steps taken by both black and white leaders to deal with the hoodlums and with those who inflame them.
These latter would include not only race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson but also lesser-known people in the media, in educational institutions, and elsewhere who hype grievances and make all the problems of blacks the fault of whites. Some of these people may think that they are doing blacks a favor. But it is no favor to anyone who lags behind to turn their energies from the task of improving and advancing themselves to the task of lashing out at others.

White Guilt
Thomas Sowell:
Until white America has an epiphany,that they have done nothing wrong and have nothing to be ashamed of,they will continue to be held hostage by the race pimps,who profit from their guilty conscience.The day we let the past go and no longer seek forgiveness from blacks for the sins of our fathers,then we will look upon one another as equals and move forward to a more racially unified country.
In the midst of the Florida tragedy, there was a book published with the unwieldy title, No Matter What . . . They’ll Call This Book Racist. Obviously it was written well before the shooting in Florida, but its message — that there is rampant hypocrisy and irrationality in public discussions of race — could not have been better timed.In my humble opinion,one of the best ways to heal the racial divide in this country is for whites to stop feeling guilty about slavery and past racial crimes that we have had nothing to do with.I have never owned a slave!I have never lynched anyone!I have never been or ever will be a member of the Klan!Because of this,I refuse to be made to feel guilty for any act of racism committed by anyone at anytime!
Author Harry Stein, a self-described “reformed white liberal,” raised by parents who were even further to the left, exposes the illogic and outright fraudulence that lies behind so much of what is said about race in the media, in politics, and in our educational institutions. He asks a very fundamental question: “Why, even after the Duke University rape fiasco, does the media continue to give credence to every charge of racism?”
Harry Stein credits Shelby Steele’s book White Guilt with opening his eyes to one of the sources of many counterproductive things said and done about race today — namely, guilt about what was done to blacks and other minorities in the past.
Let us talk sense, like adults. Nothing that is done to George Zimmerman — justly or unjustly — will unlynch a single black man who was tortured and killed in the Jim Crow South for a crime he didn’t commit.
Letting hoodlums get away with hoodlumism today does not undo a single injustice of the past. It is not even a favor to the hoodlums, for many of whom this is just the first step on a path that leads to the penitentiary, and maybe to the execution chamber.
Winston Churchill said, “If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.” He wasn’t talking about racial issues, but what he said applies especially where race is involved.
Until white America has an epiphany,that they have done nothing wrong and have nothing to be ashamed of,they will continue to be held hostage by the race pimps,who profit from their guilty conscience.The day we let the past go and no longer seek forgiveness from blacks for the sins of our fathers,then we will look upon one another as equals and move forward to a more racially unified country.

The Obama Administration Has Provided 'Assistance' To The Trayvon Martin Protests
From the White House Dossier:
A largely unknown group of Justice Department officials has inserted itself into the local Florida protest movement surrounding the killing of Trayvon Martin, assisting the protestors and attending their meetings and rallies.Obama and Holder are not just spectators in all this,they are active participants in trying to foment racial hatred in the Trayvon Martin killing.
While the officials are tasked with preventing racial violence, it appears that in carrying out their duties, they have provided significant assistance to those protesting the killing of Martin, who black, by George Zimmerman, who is half white and half Hispanic.
The officials are members of the DOJ’s Community Relations Service, also known as “The Peacemakers,” a special unit established under the 1964 Civil Rights Act and empowered to act to mitigate local tensions between ethnic groups.

More Of A Case Of Celebrity Profiling Than Racial Profiling
From Reuters:
Perry's predicament began when he admittedly made a left turn from a far-right lane -- a trick his security detail taught him, to make sure he wasn't being followed, Perry explained on Facebook.What has upset,Tyler Perry,is not that he is black and was pulled over by 2 white cops.No.He is upset that the 2 white cops didn't recognize who he was and give him the respect he is entitled to in being a celebrity.Instead,they did their jobs and treated him like everyone else who breaks the law.
Two white Atlanta police officers pulled him over, but apparently did not realize they'd just stopped Tyler Perry.
When Perry explained his illegal turn was to make sure no one was tailing him, one officer allegedly asked, "Why do you think someone would be following you?" Perry said in his post.
Before Perry could answer, the second white officer started "banging" on his passenger's side window -- apparently taking issue with the window's tint, Perry told his fans.
As both officers "badgered" Perry about why he thought someone may be following him, Perry said he recalled his mother's advice:
"My mother would always say to me, 'if you get stopped by the police, especially if they are white policemen, you say 'yes sir' and 'no sir', and if they want to take you in, you go with them. Don't resist, you hear me? Don't make any quick moves, don't run, you just go.'"But then a second police cruiser pulled up, and a black Atlanta policeman emerged. "He took one look at me and had that 'Oh No' look on his face," Perry recounted.
The black officer spoke "in a hushed tone" to the two white officers, Perry said. "After that, one of the officers stayed near his car while one came back, very apologetic."
Perry was released, but news reports do not indicate whether he was cited for his illegal left turn or tinted windows. Georgia law requires drivers to approach a left turn from "the extreme left-hand lane" of a multi-lane road, Georgia Public Broadcasting reports.
Georgia law also makes it a misdemeanor to tint driver's or passenger's side windows under certain conditions, according to the state's Department of Public Safety.
The Atlanta police department's Office of Professional Standards is looking into Tyler Perry's racial-profiling claims, E! News reports.

'Trayvon Martin Carnival'
From The Other McCain:
1.) Race is big business on the left.The likes of Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,and others have enriched themselves on racism.By using racial discord,they have shaken down businesses,organizations,individuals,and governments,from which they have accrued a fortune.They sense a jackpot here.
2.) They are strengthening their hand for November.One of the last weapons Obama has left in his arsenal is the race card.Obama is going to try to paint whoever his opponent is in November as a bigot.This will not only help drive a large black turnout,but play on white guilt as well,helping to sway the independents his way -because nobody wants to be called a racist.
3.) This is part of the lefts on going assault on the 2nd amendment.They are trying to use this and any other shooting they can manipulate to further restrict your right to keep and bear arms -in this case they are targeting the so called 'stand your grounds' laws.
Also,we shouldn't fall into the trap of defending George Zimmermann's innocence,analyzing video looking for cuts and bruises.He may very well be innocent but their is still a lot we do not know about this case.
What we need to focus our attention upon is to not let the left manipulate this whole situation and force more gun control legislation down our throats.That is the real threat here.
Am I the only one who sees the Trayvon Martin carnival in this context? Liberals have turned the case into a sort of public festival, a self-congratulatory celebration of their own moral superiority. And they have arranged the symbolic elements of the narrative so that to criticize them — the shameless media moralizers — is to become implicated in George Zimmerman’s presumed guilt.They are 3 reasons,as I can see,that the left is hyping this shooting.
They are using the corpse of Trayvon Martin as a human shield to conceal their ideological agenda and protect themselves against criticism.

A Liberal In The Armor At ESPN
From Yahoo :
For ESPN/Disney to destroy Anthony Fedrico's career over this is disgusting.I hope Mr. Fedrico retains an attorney and sues the ears off the Mouse.
The ESPN editor axed over an offensive headline in reference to New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin insists he meant no harm."This had nothing to do with me being cute or punny," Anthony Federico said in an interview with the New York Daily News."I'm so sorry that I offended people," he added. "I'm so sorry if I offended Jeremy."Federico's headline -- "Chink in the Armor: Jeremy Lin's 9 Turnovers Cost Knicks in Streak-stopping Loss to Hornets" -- was posted on ESPN's mobile site at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday and taken down about half an hour later.ESPN fired the 28-year-old editor on Sunday and issued an apology, noting it was aware of a pair of other "offensive and inappropriate" comments on the sports network's various outlets. In addition, the channel suspended ESPNEWS anchor Max Bretos for 30 days following his on-air use of the slur.
'A chink in the armor' is a phrase I have heard all my life to describe someones weakness.Sportscasters especially have used this well known euphemism to add color to their broadcast.In fact I am pretty sure I have heard this phrase used to describe Tiger Woods golf game over the past few years,who is also of Asian descent and no one has cried racism over its use.
Their is nothing inherently racist in the phrase,'a chink in the armor.'It is clear that neither,Anthony Fedrico,nor Max Bretos intended any racial slur against Jermy Lin.The only people who are injecting racism into this phrase are the politically correct crowd and ESPN/Disney.

Samuel L. Jackson:'I Voted For Barack Obama Because He Is Black'
TMZ:
That's the whole problem,most everyone voted for Obama based on the color of his skin,not on the content of his character.
......politics meant nothing to Samuel L. Jackson because the "Pulp Fiction" star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only ... because he's black.
In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, "I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me."
Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]. Because, what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected."
That's the whole problem,most everyone voted for Obama based on the color of his skin,not on the content of his character.

'The Ghost Of Margaret Sanger'
From Michelle Malkin:
When a bunch of wealthy white women and elite Washington bureaucrats defend the trampling of religious liberties in the name of “increased access” to “reproductive services” for “poor” women, the ghost of Margaret Sanger is cackling.Margaret Sanger was as evil as Adolf Hitler and Planned Parenthood is rotten to the core.Every minority,every homosexual,every special needs child and family,and everyone who is poor,should be outraged that a dime of their tax dollars go to fund this societal and racially supremacist group,who very much wanted you dead before you were born.
As she wrote in her autobiography, Sanger founded Planned Parenthood in 1916 “to stop the multiplication of the unfit.” This, she boasted, would be “the most important and greatest step towards race betterment.” While she oversaw the mass murder of black babies, Sanger cynically recruited minority activists to front her death racket. She conspired with eugenics financier and businessman Clarence Gamble to “hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities” to sell their genocidal policies as community health and welfare services.
Outright murder wouldn’t sell. But wrapping it under the egalitarian cloak of “women’s health” — and adorning it with the moral authority of black churches — would. Sanger and Gamble called their deadly campaign “The Negro Project.”

Politics And Race Baiting At Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration
I love how the left will get up and screech and howl,when anyone passes out a conservative voter guide in the church parking lot,citing the "separation of church and state."But when they get up in the pulpit of all places and openly use it to push a political agenda,its just called having a "political conscience."
BTW,the whole idea behind the "separation of church and state" -a phrase that does not appear in the U.S. Constitution but it does appear in the constitution of the U.S.S.R.- is a means by progressives to control to religious speech and to remove the Word of God from our daily lives and establish their religion of secularism in all facets of our lives instead.
Also,on a day that is supposed to promote unity and peace,its interesting exactly who is promoting division among us.

Racial Sensitivity Gone Awry
How many liberals does it take,to screw things up?:
This is what you get,when you supplant the teaching of history with racial sensitivity training,nonesense and stupidity.
Figuring out how many oranges were picked by slaves and how many beatings per day Frederick Douglass received was allowed to help teach elementary students their multiplication and division tables at one school.I just love it when liberalism blows up in the lefts face.All these liberal teachers were trying to do,was to teach these 'young skulls full of mush' some Black Liberation Theology.They just wanted the white kids in their class to feel guilty over something they had nothing to do with and show them how hard it is to be black in America today.How horrible is that?Isn't this what liberals want?
Administrators at GwinnettOn Wednesday, nine third-grade math teachers at Beaver Ridge Elementary School were attempting to do a cross-curricular activity with a book the children had read about abolitionist Frederick Douglass in their social studies class. District spokeswoman Sloan Roach told CBS Atlanta that the math problems in the assignment involved some of what the students learned about Douglass. Four of the nine classes wound up sending the assignment home with the students. But when some parents were going over the students’ homework, they became appalled at the nature and language of two questions in particular.
This is what you get,when you supplant the teaching of history with racial sensitivity training,nonesense and stupidity.

NBC's David Gregory: No "Grand Wizard" In The GOP To "Force" Cain Out
Via Real Clear Politics:
They are no bigger racists than liberals.
On Wednesday's "Today" show, host of NBC's "Meet the Press" David Gregory says there is no "Grand Wizard" right now in the GOP to "force" Cain out of the primary. Transcript below:Mr. Gregory is confused.Sen. Robert Byrd was Democrat,not a Republican.
Ann Curry, NBC News: "He's not stepping down, continuing to suck the air out of the narrative the Republican party really wants to tell. Does the party now wish he would just go away?"
David Gregory, NBC News: "Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue. I've talked to Cain's advisers in Iowa, they think their support is still strong there, that it's not falling. There may be cracks in the foundation according to pollsters I'm talking to, that his numbers may be starting to shift but right now core support remains there."
They are no bigger racists than liberals.

Bryant Gumbel Is A Racist
Bryant Gumbel said this of NBA Commissioner David Stern:
Bryant Gumbel is incapable of viewing anything outside the prism of race,and that makes him a racist.
"But his efforts were typical of a commissioner, who has always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern plantation overseer treating NBA men as if they were his boys," Gumbel said. "It’s part of Stern’s M.O. Like his past self-serving edicts on dress code or the questioning of officials, his moves are intended to do little more than show how he’s the one keeping the hired hands in their place."Yes,Bryant,multi-millionaire NBA players are the equivalent to slaves on a plantation and David Stern is their master.What a joke.
Bryant Gumbel is incapable of viewing anything outside the prism of race,and that makes him a racist.
