Whites Stole Black's Land Using Murder & Government

Hobbling the black race - while demanding we succeed - seems to be the M.O.

This was taken from a 2006 Associated Press article - in case you missed it - which was probably intentional: 

"For generations, black families passed down the tales in uneasy whispers: 'They stole our land.'

These were family secrets shared after the children fell asleep, after neighbors turned down the lamps - old stories locked in fear and shame.

Some of those whispered bits of oral history, it turns out, are true.

In an 18-month investigation, The Associated Press documented a pattern in which black Americans were cheated out of their land or driven from it through intimidation, violence and even murder.

In some cases, government officials approved the land takings; in others, they took part in them. The earliest occurred before the Civil War; others are being litigated today." 

Which is why this is a great country - a wonderful country - fulfilling all the requirements of flag-saluting patriots everywhere,…

 

Invisible Man (Blacks From Our Future Can't Be Seen)

"Crack must be in the hospital or something. How else to explain his lack of presence on this topic?"

"Homeless. Because of you. And Republicans."

And, there you have it, white America's message of morality to disagreement and/or blame. Translation:

They Care. 

And they do. As long as you agree with them on things no sane person could agree with. Otherwise, homelessness, banishment, abandonment, or - my favorite from talking to white high schoolers about their parents - being "disowned". Scientologists "disconnect" people from their families, too, so there's that to ponder, as well. 

They don't get much whiter than L. Ron.

Little wonder that blacks, sticking together, freak the sociopathic "post-racial" crowd out. We just refuse to be like the rest. Cold. Unfeeling. Seeing people as discardable. Disposable. Willing to hide the bodies - and the guilt - under years of lies, right or wrong. 

Decades go by. Centuries. But look the other way. "Time heals all" they think. Everything but the truth. And anyone but them. They'll die first - or watch millions do so. They don't mind. You didn't agree. 

White culture's been this way since slavery.

It's America - not as a meritocracy - but a meat grinder.

Salute the flag.

"For them to turn on someone this way is wrong." 

 -- Geoffrey Moore (quoted by Ann Althouse) on gays and Brendan Eich, April 4, 2014

  "Justice Thomas Was Right/Citizens United and the defenestration of Brendan Eich." 

--  James Taranto (quoted by Ann Althouse) April 4, 2014

  "If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – then count me out.

"If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us." 

 -- Andrew Sullivan (quoted by Ann Althouse) April 3, 2014

  "I took a dissenting position [to Ann Althouse] - not because I hate gays or gay marriage, or openness in public affairs, but because of the ridiculous reaction gays have had to losing in the recent past - which I thought was ugly and don't want to see again." 

 -- TMR (not quoted by anybody paler, or living more comfortably, than I am) January 22, 2010

Yes, indeed - only four years old and even my right-on-the-bullseye ideas are "homeless. Because of you. And Republicans." 

And, apparently because of my race, the right and wrong - of, repeatedly, ignoring a *correct* black voice - will never come into it.

Almost like it never even happened,...

Couple Has Racist Death Threats Sprayed On Their Home

Clarence Thomas Heard Talking About Race Before 2003

I know why conservatives accepted Thomas's claim there was no talk of race during Jim Crow - it's comforting - but their critical thinking skills should've still kicked in and told them it was impossible. Here's Thomas 11 years ago, to the other justices, sounding like me or Obama:

“Aren't you understating the effects of the burning cross? Now, it's my understanding that we had almost 100 years of lynching and activity in the South. The Knights of Camellia and the Ku Klux Klan. And this was a reign of terror and the cross was a symbol of that reign of terror. Isn't that significantly greater than intimidation or a threat?”

When whites twist this narrative, blacks get antsy, and Republicans - especially - should be ashamed for claiming to have been in the trenches before, yet trying to push lies about our country on us today. Lies also about ourselves. You should stop these lies even when a black person tells them. Make a coherent narrative. Like, to keep pretending this all occurred a long time ago, as opposed to it began a long time a go, and only (maybe) ended recently? 

Such a ploy's not helpful.

It's obviously a lie - and truly unworthy of Americans,…

Leader of Christian American Patriot Militia responds to threats he’s made on President Obama’s life

American Black Life In 1964 (Doesn't Sound Too Rosey)

Fannie Lou Hamer, vice-chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, an independent political organization formed in response to the racial exclusionary policies of the state’s official Democratic Party.

The party elected delegates to the Democratic National Convention, held in Atlantic City, N.J., that year, and attempted to unseat the all-white official state delegation.

Hamer’s direct appeal to the national credentials committee of the Democratic Party was carried live on national television. Testifying about the horrors of living as an African-American political activist in Mississippi, she noted that “we have to sleep with our telephones off the hook because our lives are being threatened daily.”

The power of her testimony worried the White House under President Lyndon B. Johnson. He immediately called a live press conference in order to get Hamer’s live statement off national television,...

The Republican's Death Spiral Continues (On Camera)

Lie - Get Hurt. Tell The Truth - Get Hurt: Hurt's On-Point

Italy's only black cabinet minister has called for more support as she endures relentless non-violent racist attacks.

Ms Kyenge has faced a torrent of abuse since her appointment in April from the right-wing Northern League party and its supporters.

The League's newspaper, La Padania, has just begun publishing her daily itinerary - presumably so that the hecklers will always know where to find the minister, says the BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome.

Last year, one of its most senior figures likened her to an orangutan. Another accused Ms Kyenge of wanting to impose "tribal traditions" on Italy.

One of the League's councillors even called for the minister to be raped.

Ms Kyenge has been heckled, and had bananas thrown at her during political rallies.

In a separate development, police confirmed that a suspicious powder mailed to Ms Kyenge on Wednesday was baking soda.

The package was intercepted at a mail-processing centre.

Obama: "As An African American You Have To Work Twice As Hard As Anyone Else If You Want To Get By"

"Last year, Maria Sharapova earned almost twice as much endorsement money as Serena Williams—$23 million to $12 million—even though Williams has racked up twice as many points as Sharapova in singles competitions over the past year and has beaten Sharapova 14 consecutive times. Twelve mil is still a decent amount of scratch—and Sharapova is also an excellent player—but the fact remains that Williams has to work harder to make less money."

As in so many areas of life, all I can ask is, "Really?"

Put Up Your Dukes (Or I'll Murder You,...)

Back-in-the-day, presidential debates involved fighting words, and duels, and any other manner of conflict, which has been all but wiped away by political correctness. Saturday Night Live seemed inspired to bring it back with this skit - and it's about as funny as they've gotten recently.

In a modern American debate, of course, this moment in 2000 is about as close to real political fisticuffs as we've seen:

Yes: The Liberals Are Showing A Little Moxy - At Tea Party Events (And Very, Very Desperate)

Immediately after Allen West took the stage at his Town Hall meeting on Tuesday Evening in Fort Lauderdale, several hecklers began to jeer and interrupt his remarks, forcing West to pause several times. Police were ultimately forced to removed one of the hecklers. When the hecklers refused to stop their harassment, West stated, “You’re not going to intimidate me.”

Nicole Sandler, formerly of Air America, was sitting behind Congressman Allen West’s wife. Sandler had been acting in a disruptive and combative manner by yelling at the Congressman and even harrassing his wife, before being asked to leave and escorted out of the event by Fort Lauderdale Police. As she was being removed from the proceedings, Sandler continued her tirade and used an expletive to address a police officer, which resulted in the officer arresting the woman for trespassing.

Air America? The radio show? These people are becoming unhinged. What's next? Janeane Garofalo attacks Michelle Bachmann with a crowbar? Whatever. Brace yourselves, folks. They smell the coffee now:

Blues, Browns, Blacks, Man - It Sure Is Getting Colorful, Something Awful, Around Here!!!

Not too long ago, my friend, Ann Althouse, took the "enlightened" position of the Na'vi regarding broadcasts of California's Prop. 8 Trial, demanding and saying of those who opposed such a thing:

"What wussies! Transparency!"

I took a dissenting position - not because I hate gays or gay marriage, or openness in public affairs, but because of the ridiculous reaction gays have had to losing in the recent past - which I thought was ugly and don't want to see again.

Now today, according to The San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland, California's supporters of gay marriage are still acting ugly, specifically trying to intimidate people who can't (or won't) fight back - before it was an elderly Mormon woman, and now, in this case, it's a 96 year-old Mormon man. So, based on this, I've got a question for Ann and other gay marriage supporters (the answer should be obvious here):

Who's really the "wussies" - those who pick on gays or gays who pick on old people? - and is "transparency" really the answer when bullies are ruling the roost?

And then, of course, there's always the real $100,000 "wuss" question that's been hanging around for some time now:

Gay marriage advocates are pretty big folks when it comes to women and 96 year-old religious men, but when are gay marriage advocates going to march through black and hispanic neighborhoods, demanding they vote as they're told?

Yea, yea, as Elton said: "I guess that's why they call it 'The Blues',..."

I Have Seen The Enemy (And It's Us)

"It is easy to mock the thousands of activists, officials and ministers flying to Copenhagen in their jets, driving around in an immense fleet of limousines, and collectively emitting more carbon dioxide than a small African country—all to force the rest of us to reduce our carbon footprints. But it is one thing to accuse them of hypocrisy in not living out their beliefs. Casting doubt on their belief that global warming poses an imminent threat to life on this planet is another.

To question so much scientific expertise and governmental authority seems arrogant or foolhardy—even in the city where Hans Christian Anderson wrote about the little boy who blurted out that the Emperor had no clothes.

Can so many experts be wrong? Well, it is worth remembering that the experts were supposedly united about the apocalyptic dangers of the Y2K millennium bug. Half the world was persuaded to spend an estimated $600 billion to save us from disasters that embarrassingly failed to materialize in the countries and companies that omitted to take any pre-emptive action. Then intelligence agencies around the world were allegedly so convinced that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that we went to war, only to find—zilch. In both cases there was a solid foundation of truth on which enthusiastic professionals and governments constructed an exaggerated scare story that the media lapped up. I was skeptical enough to delve into both those scares and rapidly found the experts were not as unanimous as supposed. But the dissenters were persuaded to keep quiet, bar a handful who were ruthlessly stereotyped as mavericks or worse.

In each case the driving force was 'groupthink.' Irving Janis defined this as 'a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.' The symptoms include:

'Unquestioned belief in the morality of the group; Stereotyping those who are opposed to the group as evil, biased, etc.; Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the group; Self-censorship of ideas that deviate from the apparent group consensus; Illusions of unanimity among group members, silence is viewed as agreement.' Campaigners against climate change show remarkably similar symptoms."

The Gods Must Be Crazy

"We're in a period of neo-McCarthyism. Everybody is running for cover, it's everyman for himself and somebody turn out the light. How you can go from the Obama moment less than a year ago to a period now where a hardscrabble Taliban-in-the-cave, right-wing Republican movement is able to intimidate people to cut and run is beyond me. I have no friends, until this McCarthyist moment dies down. If you're walking down the street and see me, cross the street and keep walking. I understand."

-- Wade Rathke, the former chief organizer of ACORN, after telling reporter Jonathan Tilove "he expects large and well-rooted chapters, such as the one in New Orleans, to survive" - but before discovering the New Orleans chapter will be uprooted - which will probably isolate him further, from NOLA.com.

In Space, They Can't Hear You're A NewAger

"Global warming,... is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making."

-- Harrison Schmitt, a former astronaut who resigned from The Planetary Society over the issue of climate change, adding "[This is] one of the few times you’ve seen a sizable portion of scientists who ought to be objective take a political position and it’s coloring their objectivity" - yet another contention this blog has repeatedly championed - the whole story can be found at The Boston Herald.

How Bill Ayers Can Influence A Campaign

Jessica Hughes of Lufkin, Texas, former Marine, mother of three, answered her cell phone in the car, coming home from the emergency room. Her 9-year-old had suffered a mild concussion, but was OK.

The caller was a female Obama volunteer who asked if Jessica would support Obama for president.

Jessica replied, "No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time." Then Jessica hung up.

The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.
