Black Lies Matter

A man named Freddie Gray died while in the custody of the Baltimore City Police. Gray has a long record mostly for drug distribution and is likely not a good guy so the portrait of a great guy (a lie) is way over the top BUT he should not have died while in custody. Initial reports are that he suffered a spinal injury while in the custody of police and his requests for medical assistance fell on deaf ears.

No matter why he was arrested or what his history was he deserved better treatment and I hope this will all become clear after it is investigated. I say I hope because the police are conducting the investigation and that casts doubt on the integrity of the process. Officers are rarely found in the wrong when investigated by their own departments.

There are a lot of people in Baltimore who are upset about this and a large number of them decided to protest. I have no issue with peaceful protests. The act of protesting PEACEFULLY is part of what makes America great. The problems come when those protests end up interfering with the lives of other people or turn into riots.

It is great to protest but to block traffic and shut down businesses is interfering with the rights of others to move about unhampered and free of harassment.

When the protests turn to riots people get hurt and property gets damaged. The legal peaceful protest turns into an illegal act.

On Saturday night in Baltimore the protest turned into a riot as unlawful people began breaking windows of businesses, looting said businesses, damaging vehicles and attacking the public and the police.

People attending the Orioles game were not allowed to leave the stadium for a while because of the riots (this possibly unlawful detention is a subject that could have its own discussion). Perhaps the 30,000 or so people should have been unleashed on the rioters…

In any event, the Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, proved she is a lightweight who is unable to lead. On top of that, she and Elijah Cummings lied about the nature of the violence.

The mayor and Representative Cummings both stated that the riots were the result of outside agitators and that most of the people involved were not from Baltimore.

[note]Al Shaprton, an outside agitator if ever there was one, will be going to Baltimore to get involved. You can bet that SRB and Cummings will welcome him and never think to blame any unrest on him.[/note]

First of all, how can they tell just by looking at the people? How did SRB and Cummings determine that these folks causing and participating in the riots were NOT from Baltimore?

The police arrest reports seem to paint another picture. Nearly all of those arrested for rioting were from Baltimore.

I am sure there were outside players who incited people but they are only part the reason for the riots. Those who participated were the major reason and most of them were from the city.

This lie is to paint a picture of a competent leader who has her finger on the pulse of the city and to keep people from drawing the conclusion that this all took place because of liberal rule, liberal policies and the liberal victim mindset.

SRB indicated that she told the police to protect the protestors and give them space. Fair enough. We can’t have them getting hit by cars or being attacked for peacefully protesting. But the dimwit also told police to give the rioters space to break things.

Many businesses were damaged and people were hurt. Property insurance usually has a clause that excludes damage from civil unrest. Will Baltimore write checks to the owners who lost property? Will the city pay for the damage it allowed to happen?

The police have some explaining to do with regard to how Gray ended up dead while under their control but they showed a lot of restraint during the rioting. Perhaps it is because they were following SRB’s orders but they showed restraint under very dangerous circumstances. A lot more people could have ended up hurt or dead if the police had been more aggressive (not that hurting rioters would be a bad thing).

The lack of spine SRB has and the lack of leadership during the outbreak of lawlessness will embolden those who wish to participate in more illegal and dangerous acts. Right now the police are on alert because rival gangs have banned together to stop killing each other and start killing police officers.

This is what happens in liberal run cities where people are lied to each and every day. They are held down by liberals and told they are victims. The people grown up with no desire to achieve and a belief that they are victims who can only be protected by the government.

The race hustlers and liberals like SRB and Cummings push that narrative and their lies have devastating consequences.

Yes, these black lies matter…

A Tale Of Two Race Stories

Cliven Bundy was alleged to have uttered racist things about black people, or as he called them, colored and Negro. An 80 year old man is probably more likely to use such terms since those are the ones used in his youth and terms that blacks once said were socially acceptable. That might explain why we have a United NEGRO College Fund and the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People.

Bundy’s words, while not eloquent by any stretch of the imagination, were not racist. One who listens to the entire message and not just the edited one can see Bundy is discussing an overreaching government that has destroyed minority families. His words might not have been as beautiful as those delivered by a teleprompter reader but they were accurate.

Harry Reid was quick to jump up and call Bundy a racist for the terms he used. Yes, the same Harry Reid who said Barack Obama did not have a Negro dialect unless he wanted to…

The goal, of course, is to demonize Bundy so the next time SWAT Teams arrive people will let them have their way at the Bundy ranch.

Sean Hannity (who made sure to tell us not to jump to conclusions in the George Zimmerman case) was quick to distance himself from Bundy as was Glenn Beck and a number of Republicans. They were too concerned with their ratings or opinion polls to step back and look at the big picture. They jumped to conclusions.

I don’t know Bundy. He might be a racist though people who know him (including black folks) say he is not. One thing I know is that a reasonable person cannot conclude he is a racist by the remarks he made.

This leads us to a guy named Donald Sterling, an 81 year old man who owns the LA Clippers professional basketball team.

Sterling was recorded making very racist remarks to his 23 year old girlfriend (yes, 23). He was caught telling a woman he is dating, one who is young enough to be his granddaughter, that he does not like to see pictures of her with black people and he does not want her bringing black people to his games but he was OK with her hanging out with them or sleeping with them (quotes from recording in above link).

This has sparked an outrage among a lot of people and rightly so. There is no doubt from the recording that Sterling made very racist remarks and he should be held accountable for them.

Paul Begala, a Democrat, warned conservatives not to jump in to defend this guy. Begala was not really informed because Sterling is a Democrat and records show he donated to Democrat politicians (but not to Obama).

In other words, Sterling is one of the Democrat’s own. This should not come as a surprise since the racists are overwhelmingly among the Democrats.

Harry Reid, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton have all made racially charged comments but since they are Democrats it was never pursued. Sterling is a Democrat who will be taken to the woodshed because the left cannot paint him as part of the right wing, though Begala tried.

Snoop Dogg had a racist rant to denounce Sterling’s racism (yes Snoop, calling someone a redneck white bread is racist). One does not stop racism by using more racism but then again, Snoop is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Al Sharpton is up in arms (SURPRISE!!) and he wants the NBA to take Sterling’s team away from him. How exactly would that be allowed? Does Sharpton think people’s property can be taken because they say things that are deplorable? If so Sharpton should not have any property because his history is filled with deplorable racist remarks.

Then again, he was an informant for the FBI. This might explain why the government is not going after him for the millions he owes in taxes while it spends millions to collect from Bundy.

I digress. If you want Sterling to pay then don’t go to his games. Don’t buy his team’s merchandise and don’t watch his team on TV. Players can refuse to sign with him and those on the team can go to other teams. If he loses money he will be forced to take action, action that might include selling the team.

Sharpton will be stirring the pot and calling for his network to protest and riot. He must be short on funds so he is fortunate to have this issue to use to raise money (or extort it). It was reprehensible but having Sharpton in the lead on an issue does not do it any good.

Look on the bright side. At least Sterling did not call them coloreds or Negroes…

Are Minorities Brainwashed Into Inferiority Complex?

The Supreme Court upheld a Michigan law that banned affirmative action. The Michigan law basically states that race will not be used as a factor in determining who gets into college. In fact, the Michigan law does not allow colleges to ask the race of the applicant.

The race baiting poverty pimp, and government informant, Al Sharpton is rallying the black folks to do whatever it takes (you know, like riot and protest) to reverse this huge injustice. But what huge injustice is there? We are told that we need equality and a long hard fight was waged for that equality. The Republican Party led the way in ensuring that civil rights were made into law. While one can debate if it was necessary or Constitutional, the fact is we passed a lot of civil rights laws.

So if we want equality why do people of color have to be “more equal” based on their race? Should not one get into college (or anything else like the White House) based on merit and not skin color?

Not according to Al Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters who think that affirmative action is the only way to solve past injustices. In other words, there needs to be a continual advantage for people of color because of inequalities that existed before many of them were born.

One does not solve racial inequality by reversing the racism by giving a leg up based solely on skin color.

Then again, how would Al Sharpton make any money?

It is bad enough that Al uses the issue to provide a solution for a problem that does not exist but what is worse is that many people of color have been told for so long that they are inferior to white people that they seem to believe it. Why are there threats of riots and other civil unrest over the Court’s decision? Why are people fighting for an act that basically says people of color can’t make it on their merits so they need extra help?

It would seem to me that if people believed in equality they would jump at the chance to prove they are on equal footing and worthy of consideration based solely on their abilities. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, Jr., they should be judged not on the color of their skin but on their merits and abilities.

The problem is that many of these folks have been told for so long that they are not as good (and that is the message of affirmative action) so they need a little extra help.

When a state like Michigan says that race will not be asked and will not be used to determine admission folks who have been brainwashed into believing they are inferior get riled up by the race baiters, whose sole job is to keep people down by making them think they are inferior, and act on emotion.

If your scores are not good enough to get you in then your color had nothing to do with it. Perhaps if people (of all colors) spent more time learning and less time listening to people like Sharpton or skipping school to get involved in drug and gang activities they would achieve the scores necessary for admission.

Here is a wake up call. You do not need special treatment to get into school. You have the ability to achieve as well as anyone else regardless of color. There are many highly successful people of color who chose to study and do well in life and you can do that too.

First though, you need to tune out the likes of Al Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters. They will continue to drag you down while they get rich exploiting you (and Al might rat you out for something).

Affirmative Action is a bad program that needs to go away. It causes all kinds of problems.

Look at what happened when we got the Affirmative Action president…

I wonder if Harry Reid will call Al and those he incites domestic terrorists?

Eric Holder Plays His Favorite Card

Eric Holder got spanked yesterday in a hearing before Congress and he did not like it too much. The reality is he was called out for his disregard of Legislative Branch demands and his contempt. Holder turned street thug by telling Congressman Gohmert “You don’t want to go there buddy” when Gohmert mentioned Holder’s uncaring attitude toward being held in contempt.

Well little Eric was at the National Action Network, the alleged civil rights group headed by rat Al Sharpton, to give a speech. Holder went off his prepared remarks and played his favorite card, the RACE card.

“I’m pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms. Even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity.

If you don’t believe that, if you look at the way, forget about me, forget about me, if you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee, it had nothing to do with me, forget that, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?” Best of Cain

You see, Holder wants to know if any other Attorney General or President has ever had this kind of treatment. The implication being that Holder and Obama are black so they are being treated badly for that reason. Since he is a progressive and progressives are always pure his skin color must be the reason.

I am sure that the fact Holder has been involved in gun running (leading to deaths of American and Mexican citizens), has ignored the law, refused to defend federal law, and has lied never entered his mind. Yes, he was held in contempt of Congress but that has nothing to do with the way he is treated because he is black so that MUST be why it is happening.

Ditto for Obama. The guy is a disgrace and has no leadership ability (except to lead blind followers around by their noses) and he is ruining the country BUT it must be because he is black.

And I inferring too much from this? I doubt it since he was speaking at the meeting of one of America’s premier race baiting poverty pimps, Al “The Rat” Sharpton. Everything is about race when it comes to Al and Holder knows the audience will eat this up.

The reality is, Holder is a criminal and Obama is a criminal with no real life work experience. As an aside, Sharpton is a criminal who avoided jail by informing for the FBI.

I also point out that George Bush was treated as harshly by the left as Obama is by the right so Holder’s question is designed to elicit a response based on race while disregarding the facts. In other words, he does not expect an answer only an emotional response.

As for Attorneys General, perhaps Holder was stoned somewhere when Alberto Gonzales was AG. Gonzales was treated much worse than Holder. Perhaps it was because he was the first Hispanic AG?

Considering Holder works for a regime that is nothing but a house of cards perhaps he should be careful which one he plays…

Imus Admit, Sharpton A Hypocrite

Don Imus caught holy hell and lost his job because he uttered the phrase “nappy headed hoes” when talking about a basketball team of black women. Al Sharpton led the agitation brigade calling for Imus to be fired and pretty soon Imus was out of a job. It mattered not that Imus apologized directly to the women and that he admitted he should not have said it. None of it mattered because the race hustler Al needed another scalp to hang on his race baiting trophy rack.

This might be OK if Al was consistent in his views. Black kids murder black kids and Al does not care. White on black, well Al is rabble rousing the race brigade. Black person says the N word and Al is quiet (Jesse Jackson called blacks the N word saying Obama talked down to them) but let a white person say anything like it and all hell breaks loose.

The latest in the list of Al Sharpton hypocrisy is the way he dismissed the star witness in the Zimmerman prosecution, Rachel Jeantel who used the N word and then explained the difference between the word that ends with an “a” and the one that ends with “er”.

All this was OK with Al who claimed that this is just the way some of y’all talk.

Imagine if Imus had made the claim that this is just the way some folks talk? Imus stressed he was trying to make a joke and it turned out to be in very poor taste. Jeantel is running around discussing the N word and the appropriateness of its use and Sharpton is agreeing with her.

There has been no mention from Sharpton about Trayvon Martin’s use of the phrase “creepy ass cracka” which is a racist phrase. No, that must be OK in line with the way some of y’all talk.

It is amazing that Sharpton and the rest of the race hustlers along with the low information crowd are all focused on George Zimmerman and his statement to the dispatcher that these punks always get away with it. Zimmerman’s characterizations over the phone (none of which were even remotely racist) have been the subject of the race hustling crowd as proof that Zimmerman had hatred in his heart and profiled.

If I were to comment on Zimmerman’s words I would have to agree with Al;

That’s just the way some of y’all talk…

Ann Coulter has some sound advice regarding not being taken for a criminal
