Joe Scarborough Takes A Stand: "What Am I Missing?"

The White-Wing media is having a blast watching Joe Scarborough getting flustered over the Ram's salute to Ferguson, since Joe swallowed the police's leaked-bait that Michael Brown stole some cigars, and thus deserved to die. Scarborough ignorantly steamrolls right over respectability politics (because there's no one on his panel who understands it) before acknowledging a lot of differences (but not the urgency) in how blacks and whites live - and are living - even as Joe's (oh so comfortably) speaking. He finally then passes the mic, only to discover only one person in the studio ("an old white guy") agrees with him. It looks like few outside agree as well.

But that's our White-Wing media:

There's no telling what they'll find inspiring,...

Conservatives Love The Black-On-Black Talking Point Of Comparing Police's Conduct To That Of Gangsters

They seem to think the black-on-black crime meme is pretty effective.

Until it's mentioned police are held to a higher standard than criminals.

Jon Stewart Is Making A List Of Innocent Things Black People Do That Look Suspicious To Police And Right Wing Media While Loudly Insisting They're Not Racist

As Stewart reads the list, and you can hear the naysayers claiming Jim Crow's not true, add in a little context:

In his massive history Reconstruction, Eric Foner recounts incidents of black people being attacked for not removing their hats; for refusing to hand over a whiskey flask; for disobeying church procedures; for “using insolent language”; for disputing labor contracts; for refusing to be “tied like a slave.” Sometimes the attacks were intended simply to “thin out the niggers a little.”

Awww, but that was back when the cops were slave catchers and whatnot. It's the difference between those two lists (who drinks from a whiskey flask anymore?) that police, and their conservative brethren in the media, demand blacks salute - as whites "making progress".

And,yes - no matter how long it takes for whites to get there - blacks are supposed to be happily! buying their bullshit, while waiting for this progress to arrive (sooooome day) and whites continue pulling this shit, facing nothing worse than a few jokes being made on cable.

Distractions, Restrictions (And Something To Live For)

Jake Tapper was on CNN, reporting on the fear being generated by a rumour of ebola, maybe being weaponized by terrorists.

Graphic of an enlarged ebola virus with a member of ISIS.

We've only had one death from ebola.

Jake Tapper brought on a White House expert.

The White House expert said the ebola rumor was "highly likely" a hoax, and weaponizing ebola is almost impossible.

Jake Tapper rattled on for another three minutes anyway.

He didn't play Roosevelt's "nothing to fear but fear itself" clip.

But how could he, when he knows 1 in 9 on death row are innocent, and we've got more Americans in prison than China?

Jake Tapper's a professional,....

Florida Newscast Reports 2 KKK Police Force Members

Florida has always had one of the nation's most notoriously racist histories

Like Cliven Bundy, TMR started to "wonder" if this story would be reported on Florida television news. But then, once it was - just like Cliven Bundy - TMR also started to "wonder" if Cliven Bundy wouldn't have been better off living as a Florida slave,...because that's a reasonable thing to "wonder" about:

Being a slave would give Bundy something to do, other than spend all day wonder-ing.

Then TMR started to "wonder" about feeding Bundy to the crocs,...

Courageous White Reporter Suspended 4 Being An Idiot

A strange belief seems to have developed, in certain segments of white culture, that says black kids would somehow develop a love for their racist overseers, who oppress blacks under the guise of law enforcement, if those blacks simply had fathers. 

Mothers, presumably, teach kids to hate cops. 

Of course, this bizarre belief was developed by whites with A) little black input B) a complete disregard for the fact black boys with fathers are no more likely to view cops favorably than those without, and C) an ignorance of the history of police officers, and racism, in this country. 

They speak as though racism never happened, and/or it doesn't exist now, and/or they have no clue to America's contours. Again - they just sound ignorant. As a matter of fact, such a belief can only be posited by someone who IS ignorant to the contextual reality of, not only American black life but, America itself.

Considering that - and the fact he's on TV where blacks live - if he keeps this up, TMR (kinda) hopes this reporter (1) gets fired,...

"The Black Man Owes The White Man A 'Thank You'"

Blacks call whites names - after whites ripped-off, raped, and abused them - and that's not right.

Whenever the white man decides to enhance black's existence as we have his - by going against his wishes and trying to make the American Constitution actually mean "All Men Are Created Equal" - I'm sure blacks will give the white man all the credit he's due:

But not any more than that - and not a moment until,….
