Conversation about race? Get real

Politico   -"Let’s take the advice of the attorney general of the United States. Let’s have a national conversation about race in the wake of the Zimmerman case. Let’s make it a painfully honest conversation — except about all the things that are painful for us to admit.
"Let’s take a tragedy and make it a racial crime. Let’s not acknowledge the evidence suggesting that Trayvon Martin was beating George Zimmerman. Let’s never, ever admit that if Martin hadn’t hit Zimmerman, he would almost certainly be alive today." Read more:

How Dare You?! The Supremacist Nature of Muslim ‘Grievances’

Raymond Ibrahim  "In 2012 in Pakistan, as Christian children were singing carols inside their church, Muslim men from a nearby mosque barged in with an axe, destroyed the furniture, desecrated the altar, and beat the children.  Their justification for such violence?  “You are disturbing our prayers…. How dare you use the mike and speakers?”
"Welcome to the true face of “Muslim grievance”—what I call the “how dare you?!” phenomenon.  Remember it next time “progressive” media and politicians tell you that Muslim terrorism—whether the 9/11 strikes, Fort Hood Massacre, Boston Bombing, or recent London Beheading—are products of grievances against the West. Missing from their analyses is the supremacist nature of Muslim grievances."
 

To Avoid Looking Like a Criminal, Don't Commit a Crime

Ann Coulter  ...."Dozens of these hair-on-fire racism stories are retold in my book, Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama. In the golden age of racial demagoguery, they came at a pace of about one a year. Al Sharpton was usually involved.
....
 "Instead of turning every story about a black person killed by a white person into an occasion to announce, "The simple fact is, America is a racist society," liberals might, one time, ask the question: Why do you suppose there would be a generalized fear of young black males? What might that be based on?

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."

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 -

CNS News  "But Jackson is proposing an investigation by the U.N.’s top human rights apparatus, the Human Rights Council (HRC), a controversial body whose ranks include regimes with poor human rights records, including some of America’s most vocal critics.

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: ..."
