The state of race relations in Obama's America

 
Urgent Message to Eric Holder: You and YOUR PEOPLE Are Out of Control! 
 Dear Attorney General:
In case it has escaped your attention, you and YOUR PEOPLE, including Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Mayor de Blasio and most members of the Democrat Party, have allowed yourselves to become agents of hatred and racial enmity of such intensity as to threaten the general peace and well being of the American people.
..."Your bias against law enforcement officials is particularly distressing when it stokes the fires of hatred against police." ...

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE : Ferguson's Media Darling Flames Out   "Joshua Williams was the liberal-media darling of the Ferguson protests; now he’s an alleged arsonist."  
  
... "During the Ferguson protests, Williams perfected the skill of catching the attention of journalists and using them to elevate his claims of police brutality to national attention. Quoted or photographed in countless articles in publications including the New York Times and USA Today, Williams claims police in Ferguson, Mo., targeted him because he is black. The truth, caught on tape by National Review Online, is much different."...

 

Whose Puppet Are They?

Power Line "To a large degree, those who engage in violent protests are the same people, regardless of their alleged cause–anti-war, anti-economic development, anti-police. And those who organize the demonstrations are, likewise, largely the same groups, year after year. We wrote here about the fact that the Communist group A.N.S.W.E.R. is a chief organizer of the anti-police protests in New York. That post might have been the inspiration for this cartoon by Michael Ramirez, which depicts anti-police protesters as the puppets of A.N.S.W.E.R. and Occupy Wall Street, appropriately accompanied by a hammer and sickle.

 "Why are these connections so little remarked upon in the press? Presumably because reporters and editors don’t want to embarrass their political allies."

Film review: The Interview



"NoteIncludes some spoilers.

"Let’s start off with the positive aspects of The Interview. The decision by some smaller theater operators to show the film demonstrated some courage and defiance, and the uneventful showings of The Interview exposed the lack of corporate intestinal fortitude in the larger chains in the face of hardly-credible threats. Sony’s decision to offer on-demand release in the face of a much-more credible threat from hackers could not have been an easy decision, even though it was the right one. Tinpot dictators and hackers should not be allowed to shut down American artists by extortion.

"With that in mind, I watched The Interview on YouTube yesterday, and the film raises a big question. It’s not why North Korea or hackers wanted to block it from publication. It’s why anyone at Sony would have green-lighted it in the first place.  Even for a bromedy, The Interview is exceedingly juvenile, obsessed with scatalogical humor, and is almost utterly lacking in wit." ...

While on the subject of tin-pot* dictators: Egypt Bans ‘Zionist’ Film on Biblical Exodus   “It is a Zionist film,” Egyptian culture minister, Gaber Asfour, said. “It gives a Zionist view of history and contains historical inaccuracies and that’s why we have decided to ban it.” The Guardian’s coverage of the issue is a fine example of cultural relativism. Would the paper have been so matter-of-fact about the story if it were Israel banning a story that celebrates Egyptians?

Have You Heard The Joke About The Rapper Who DEMANDED $100 Trillion In Reparations?

 Azealia Banks Reparations

Downtrend   "This past Friday, rapper Azealia Banks unleashed a Twitter rant in which she demanded that the U.S. government fork over $100 trillion in reparations, reports the Daily News:
“ITS MY MONEY, AND I WANT IT NOWWWWW!!!!!!” Banks tweeted on Friday afternoon, after linking to stories from various newspapers describing the ways in which American Indians and Holocaust survivors have sought reparations from the American and German governments, respectively.
“Jews and Native Americans all got reparations because they organized. Please don’t let my ‘beef’ with hip-hop distract from what we need… To be focusing on. We are owed MAJOR F***ING BUCKS kids, MAJOR BUCKS.”
"Keep in mind that this lunatic happens to be worth $3 million and grew up attending posh music schools in Manhattan."...

Trust me, there are millions of African-Americans who are embarrassed by characters such as this.
