Black History Month: A Race Hustler’s Dream
Suzanne Eovaldi, CoachIsRight.com
“White America still owes us,” is the misguided mantra foisted on blacks for decades. That is upsetting to Lloyd Marcus, an unhyphenated American of African descent, who decries what February, Black History Month, has become in our nation. He says it has become the special time of the year when race hustlers pitch many new guilt trip entitlement programs to us and our politicians because, Marcus says, the hustlers are still stuck in the 1950′s angst of systematic abuse. But the conditions of yesterday no longer exist today, he says. “Throughout American history, white folks, mostly Christians, suffered, sacrificed, and died to help set blacks free and move them forward,” he says.
Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, and the Congressional Black Caucus are all part of race profiteering that sees February as the most wonderful month of the year. Some guiltmongers hit up businesses and nonprofit groups along with our educational and media complexes to squeeze out as much profit as possible, along with personal aggrandizement. “Our liberal anti-American public school system, the liberal media, and black race profiteering so-called leaders make no effort to encourage black youths to be proud Americans. They even discourage it,” Marcus says.
Over the New Year’s holiday, I watched the Lockdown marathon, which featured the juvenile court system in Lake County, Indiana. That happens to be my old beat as a news correspondent, in northwest Indiana. While I covered South Lake County and not major crime news in that area, many scenes became familiar. Young black males, all under age 18, came before the judge. One young man asked to be allowed to go home so he could be with his girlfriend and their second child. Even more disturbing was the fact that I only saw one older black male appear with his wife as they sat in court listening to their son’s offenses. Where have all of the Black males gone? We need to rethink what these entitlement programs that pay nubile young women for having babies if there is no man in the house are doing to black families in this country. Remember, Senator Patrick Moynihan warned us about this many years ago.
Marcus says that Black History Month….
Obama Stonewalls; More Proof of Unequal Justice for Conservatives
Ben Johnson, FloydReports.com
Barack Obama has provided yet more proof that only his administration’s allies enjoy the equal protection of the law; conservatives should expect no right to justice in Obama’s America. We have learned, from firsthand testimony, that civil rights protections do not apply when Black Panthers deny white citizens the right to vote. We have seen that immigration laws do not apply in Arizona. And the president has made clear he feels his administration will ignore court decrees and impose ObamaCare. Now those on Obama’s enemies list cannot expect to receive their Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. FOIA allows private citizens access to government documents, which are often expose treasure trove of government corruption. J. Christian Adams, who blew the whistle on the Justice Department’s racialist justice, reveals that Obama promptly filled some FOIA requests:
- Gerry Hebert, noted free speech opponent, partisan liberal, and former career Voting Section lawyer who testified against now-Senator Jeff Sessions when he was nominated to the federal judiciary. Same day service.
- Kristen Clarke, NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Clarke sought the dismissal of the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther party. Same day service.
- Ari Shapiro of National Public Radio. Five day service.
- Nicholas Espiritu of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund. Next day service.
- Eugene Lee of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center. Three day service.
- Edward DuBose, president of Georgia NAACP. Same day service.
- Raul Arroyo-Mendoza of the Advancement Project. Same day service.
- Nina Perales of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund. Two day service.
Others did not enjoy the same treatment….
NAACP Mounts New Attempt to Discredit Tea Party Movement
Project 21, Floyd Reports
Politico reports the NAACP claims its report will address “various associations between tea party organizations and acknowledged hate groups in the United States.”
The NAACP is Watching You
Matthew Boyle, Daily Caller
The NAACP partnered with Media Matters, Think Progress and New Left Media to launch teapartytracker.org, a website that will specifically publish and monitor “racism and other forms of extremism within the Tea Party movement.”
Media Matters and Think Progress representatives said their content and reporting haven’t changed and that the NAACP approached their organizations seeking only to republish select content they’ve produced. The NAACP’s new teapartytracker.org is aimed specifically at highlighting “racism” in the Tea Party.
New Left Media, the duo of Chase Whiteside and Erick Stoll who use a “Trojan trick” to get interviews with Tea Partiers, is also a partner organization on the new site.
As for what Media Matters, New Left Media, Think Progress and the NAACP plan to do with teapartytracker.org, Think Progress editor Faiz Shakir and Media Matters Vice President for Research and Communications Ari Rabin-Havt said the NAACP contacted them about sharing content related to the Tea Party.
Shakir said the website isn’t meant to attack the Tea Party, only to “hold it accountable.”
“When they display intolerance and the kinds of racial signs that we’ve seen and the kinds of angry rhetoric, there’s nobody pushing back on that rhetoric or to check the record or fact-check it,” Shakir said. “I think it [the website] should be viewed in light of the NAACP being opposed to the intolerant elements of the Tea Party.”
Video: Was NAACP President at Racist Shirley Sherrod Speech?
from Gateway Pundit by Jim Hoft
On Monday July 19th, video was released of Georgia Director of Rural Development Shirley Sherrod admitting in a speech at an NAACP banquet in March that she discriminated against farmers because of their race. Sherrod was appointed last year by Obama’s Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. After the video was released, where Sherrod told NAACP members that she refused to fully assist a white farmer because of his race, the Obama Administration forced her to resign.
Following the release of this inflammatory tape NAACP President Ben Jealous released a statement denouncing not only the racist remarks by Shirley Sherrod but also the reaction of the crowd to her speech. NAACP President Ben Jealous even promised to look into the disturbing behavior of those in attendance.
“Since our founding in 1909, the NAACP has been a multi-racial, multi-faith organization that– while generally rooted in African American communities– fights to end racial discrimination against all Americans.
We concur with US Agriculture Secretary Vilsack in accepting the resignation of Shirley Sherrod for her remarks at a local NAACP Freedom Fund banquet.
Racism is about the abuse of power. Sherrod had it in her position at USDA. According to her remarks, she mistreated a white farmer in need of assistance because of his race.
We are appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers.
Her actions were shameful. While she went on to explain in the story that she ultimately realized her mistake, as well as the common predicament of working people of all races, she gave no indication she had attempted to right the wrong she had done to this man.
The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.
We thank those who brought this to our national office’s attention…
But, President Jealous forgot to mention one thing.
He may have been at the event.
If you listen to the Sherrod’s speech at Annual NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner in Georgia in March you’ll here her thank her guests and…
“The President who is with us tonight.”
(0:45 seconds into the speech)
This story has always been about the racism that is shown in the NAACP audience when they clap and cheer while Shirley Sherrod tells her story about mistreating a white farmer. If President Ben Jealous was in the audience, it only goes more to show how racism is a constant and insidious companion of the NAACP.
Video: Leader of NAACP calls the New Black Panther Party a creation of Fox News
This video recently surfaced of Benjamin Jealous, the leader of the NAACP, calling the New Black Panthers a creation of Fox News “and like 20 folks.”
Wow. I guess Fox News sent their creations to the polls to intimidate voters with night sticks and advocate killing white babies? I just can’t believe the Mainstream Media isn’t on this story yet…
Video: NAACP Plays the Race Card, Exhibits Racism
In recent weeks, the Democratic party has unveiled their newest and best strategy to win in the November elections: call everyone else racist.
The group spearheading this effort is the NAACP, which is undeniably a tool of the Democratic Party. In recent days they have upped their attack on the Tea Party, issuing a formal demand to the tea party that they condemn racist elements in their own party.
The Mainstream Media has only been too happy to carry the torch for the NAACP’s unconscionable use of the race card for political gain, ignoring Tea Party pleas of innocence.
For the Mainstream Media, the Tea Party is guilty until proven innocent, and they have no desire to show evidence of innocence.
But the bloggers are fighting back.
Now that the NAACP has brought up the race card, they have opened themselves up to attacks that they are racist as well.
Andrew Brietbart of Big Government today released a video of Shirley Sherrod, the USDA Georgia director of Rural Development, speaking at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia.
In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.
[...]Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.
Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.
The NAACP is being incredibly shortsighted in their new strategy of using the race card. They are going to incite a race war if they keep this up. This battle is not about race, and if we allow them to define the lines as one between blacks and whites, they will defeat us, and in the end defeat what makes America great. This battle is between those who desire Government to be involved and controlling every facet of their lies, and those who see what is happening to our freedom and have drawn a line in the sand.
Opposition to a black president is not racism. Opposition to socialism is not racism. If we let them bait us into making it about race rather than the truth of our claims, it will not bode well for the future of this country.
Obama linked to Fraudulent Tea Party Smear Video
Yesterday Bob Owens at Big Government reported that Think Progress, a far left blog, used manufactured tea party signs to create a video tagging Tea Party members as racist:
Do you remember the abortive “Crash the Tea Party” movement? It was the brainchild of a liberal that explicitly called for progressives to commit fraud in order to attempt to discredit the Tea Party protests.
At Pajamas Media we covered the abortive effort extensively, and made note of the very real bigotry the Crashers unwittingly revealed… in themselves.
This morning, I came across this video from Think Progress:
…Think Progress stitches together a series of posters they claim belong to Tea Party protesters.
Really, Think Progress?
Did you not think we’d remember the amusing signs your fellow liberals created for their little abortive “Crash the Tea Party” stunt in Boston? Let’s just say that some were more amusing than others, and some just showed pathetic and angry progressives often are.
There is an old saying that you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
Early Today Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit connected the dots and traced the video straight back to…guess who? Obama!
So why would a leftist website put out such an obviously doctored video in order to smear the tea party movement?
The Center for American Progress(CAP) is a George Soros-funded initiative. It was founded by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. Think Progress is one of the CAP’s blogs that “provides a forum that advances progressive ideas and policies.”
According to Discover the Networks, after Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, CAP served as perhaps the most influential organization advising the new administration. Among Obama’s leading advisers were John Podesta and at least ten additional CAP experts.
Last week the NAACP announced that they would pass a resolution that calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.” Two days later Think Progress released its fraudulent “racist” tea party video.
It makes you think that these radical leftist groups might be coordinating their attacks on the tea party patriots… possibly from the White House. Now, wouldn’t that be shocking?
No.
It seems that with Obama’s support quickly failing, the White House believes its only option to save the November elections for the Democrats is to smear the Tea Party as racist.
And hey, if it has to be a little fraudulent and a little manufactured, why not? Its for the good of the people.
Michelle Obama Declares Racism Reason for Fat Black Kids
by Kevin Jackson, http://theblacksphere.net/
The most recent statement by Michelle Obama baffles me, as she compared black children’s health to the age old Democrat policies of slavery and Jim Crow laws:
“We are living today in a time where we’re decades beyond slavery, we are decades beyond Jim Crow, when one of the greatest risks to our children’s future is their own health…”
Exactly what racist Democrat policies have to do with chubby black kids was initially lost on me. Thankfully Obama illuminated an often overlooked aspect of racism by me and the rest of America in this statement:
“African American children are significantly more likely to be obese than are white children. Nearly half of African American children will develop diabetes at some point in their lives. People, that’s half of our children.”
Imagine my surprise to learn that one can recognize racist policies in fat black kids. Here I thought racism was when black men intimidating white voters are not prosecuted for obvious voter intimidation, by a black Attorney General, simply because the perpetrators were black.
