On Race, No Hope or Change

The election of a black president has not reduced “racial tension.”

Dennis Prager "The greatest hope that most Americans — including Republicans — had when Barack Obama was elected president was that the election of a black man as the country’s president would reduce, if not come close to eliminating, the racial tensions that have plagued America for generations."....

Since neither black animosity nor the Left’s falsehood of “racial tensions” is based on the actual behavior of the vast majority of white Americans, nothing white America can do will affect the perceptions of many black Americans or of the leftist libel.

 

Mona Charen; Race in the Internet Age   "There’s another America that exists on the TV, the radio, and the cell-phone screen. There, the race baiters, provocateurs, rumormongers, and ratings-mad self-promoters hold court. It’s the dark underside of the nation."

The Administration’s Obamacare Denial

Heritage

"Obamacare was supposed to go so well, we were told.
"The mandates. The long-term care insurance. The Medicaid expansion. All going swimmingly, right?
"Only in the minds of Harry Reid and the bureaucrats at Health and Human Services (HHS).
"Despite a host of delays, legal challenges, and complete implementation failures, the Senate Majority Leader says “Obamacare has been wonderful for America.” The Administration says it’s simply implementing the law “in a careful, thoughtful manner.” "....
 

Zimmerman prosecutor Angela Corey may face a reckoning

American Thinker  "Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who struck out going after George Zimmerman, has not taken defeat well.  At Red State, streiff catalogues her outrageous behavior in an article that should be read in its entirety:

....She has a sense of entitlement that is so typical of small people promoted to jobs that are well above their level of competency but who lack the self-awareness to recognize what everyone else knows. (You need look no further than her bizarre post-verdict press conference that she treated as though it was an Academy Awards acceptance rather than a repudiation to see that she occupies a different reality than most.) In Angela Corey's world, criticism of her is a basis for legal action. She has threatened to sue Harvard if it did not fire Alan freakin Dershowitz after he pointed out her lack of legal acumen and ethics. In Florida she is something of a legend for threatening her critics....

Angela Corey’s Checkered Past  Her peers describe an M.O. of retaliation and overcharging.  ...."She is “one hell of a trial lawyer,” says a Florida defense attorney who has known her for three decades — but the woman who has risen to national prominence as the “tough as nails” state attorney who prosecuted George Zimmerman is known for scorching the earth. And some of her prosecutorial conduct has been, well, troubling at best."

Hey, over here! Remember me?

Stop the Jarrett Tax! Delaying employer mandate could cost taxpayers $62 billion first year.

The American Spectator   "Earlier this week, the Urban Institute released a simulated model of what the Affordable Care Act would cost minus the employer mandate. The Institute claimed delaying the mandate would have little impact on the cost to taxpayers. Nonsense. Taxpayers will get clobbered with a tab that could go as high as $62 billion in the first year."

Jesse Jackson Urges U.N. Human Rights Council to Investigate Trayvon Martin Shooting -

Grievance Industry Outlook 

This disgraceful persecution of George Zimmerman has highlighted something the traditional, honorable and family loving black community should note, and note to their core; your young black men do not matter to the powers that be, unless - unless - their death can be turned for a profit for Other Masters. That is the lesson.

Zimmerman? What about other problems in the Black community? 

"The tragedy is that most black Americans live in districts with a black congressman, black councilman, and a black state representative.   

"What do all of thee districts have in common beyond black leadership?  They have 3 things in common:

* High unemployment rates (double digits) and very little hope of change;
* Lousy public schools that Senator Obama did not send his daughters to; and,
* High crime rates, especially if you are black.

"This is why it's Zimmerman 24/7 for the American left.  What else are they going to talk to black Americans about?"

Robert Zimmerman to DOJ: Stop the 'Witch Hunt'

Big Government  "On Tuesday evening, Robert Zimmerman, brother of George Zimmerman, responded to reports that Eric Holder’s Department of Justice had solicited the public for information about George that could help a federal civil rights prosecution. The DOJ has even set up an email address for tips on Zimmerman."
....
"“Political persecution has reached a dimension unforeseen by many,” Robert Zimmerman continued. “It is inconceivable that high-ranking officials would endorse this kind of behavior. It is profoundly disserving that they facilitate it. I would remind the Department of Justice that a verdict has been reached in this case, and that the reputation of Sanford, Florida and the trust of the people of Sanford, Florida in regards to their law enforcement agencies is more important than continuing politically motivated and race-tinged assaults on an innocent man’s character.” "

DOJ Asks Civil Rights Groups, General Public for 'Tips' on Zimmerman
"On Monday afternoon, the US Department of Justice appealed to civil rights groups and the general public across the country for “tips” on George Zimmerman in their pursuit of potential federal civil rights charges against the just-acquitted defendant in the Trayvon Martin killing. The DOJ actually went so far as to set up an e-mail address to allow such tips: ..."

Zimmerman: We must recognize "yellow journalism" when we see it; it's all around us

conservativedailynews.com

 Have you ever heard the term "Yellow Journalism"? Well, you're seeing it now in the press.  "Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.
....
"Frank Luther Mott (1941) defines yellow journalism in terms of five characteristics:"

1. scare headlines in huge print, often of minor news
2. lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings
3. use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudoscience, and a parade of false learning from so-called experts
4. emphasis on full-color Sunday supplements, usually with comic strips
5. dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" against the system.

Now that we have defined our terms, let's look at some of what we consider to be modern-day yellow journalism: 

AP: Trayvon 'Black,' Zimmerman 'Identifies Himself as Hispanic'  "The article's author, Josh Gerstein, correctly identifies teenage shooting victim Trayvon Martin as black. Like most of the rest of the media, though, Gerstein cannot seem to bring himself to identify Zimmerman as what he is: Hispanic. Instead, Gerstein writes, "Martin was black, and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic." "

CNN Legal Analysts Don't Hide Anti-Zimmerman Bias  "In the immediate aftermath of the not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, two CNN legal analysts who are presented to viewers as unbiased experts, made their biases very clear and public. Jeffrey Toobin took to Twitter, while Sonny Hostin expressed her shock and disappointment on the air."

Former Journalism Professor Blasts Media for Zimmerman Coverage 

...."Instead, the members of the news media portrayed Zimmerman as “the neighborhood watch captain/'wannabe cop'” who profiled Martin, “an unarmed, hoodie-clad black teenager” out on the streets “simply because he wanted some Skittles.”
" “The storyline quickly took root,” Rieder noted, “amplified by the nearly ubiquitous images of the two: a sweet-looking photo of a several-years-younger Trayvon released by his family, and a mug shot of Zimmerman from a previous arrest in which he looks puffy and downcast.” "

MSNBC’s Hispanic Lynching "You recall the national outrage in the liberal media over this barbeque of ethnic insults, right? Like, say, when the white comedian Michael Richards delivered a racial rant against blacks and then apologized, as here?"

'White Hispanic' and other media creations on race 

"Why was Zimmerman being labeled a "White Hispanic?"  From day one, the mainstream media had rabid desire to attach "White" to his heritage, as if being "White" triggered the instinct to kill a black teen-and we wouldn't want to suggest that any ethnic group is predisposed to particular behaviors, now would we?"

More lies from the main stream media about the Zimmerman case  "The claim that Zimmerman was at fault because he pursued Martin after being told not to has absolutely no basis in fact. It is a made up assumption that has been repeated so many times by the media that people actually believe that is what happened."

The Silent Tragedy Behind Trayvon Martin - Part II   "The silent tragedy behind Trayvon Martin has gone beyond Barack Obama.

From Wake up Black America

"It's like common sense just goes right out the window. A black friend of mine told me that I better be careful in how I discuss my thoughts on Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. He knows that many blacks are ginned up on emotion, and they will not embrace a point of view that isn't 100% Pro Trayvon Martin". He's right. Logic is typically wasted on fools."
