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."...

Holder and Obama are making race relations worse, inflaming hatred  “ 'The thing that disappoints me the most is some very powerful people in this country — the president of the United States, Attorney General Eric Holder and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York — have created a pathway that contributes to an unjustifiable hatred of law enforcement officers across the country,” he told WMAL radio in Washington, DC. “They trashed an entire profession with a broad brush because it was politically expedient for them to do so.' ”...

Mrs. Obama's Tall Tales of Racialized Victimhood  ..."Decrying her racial otherness, the Ivy Leaguer accused her university of pushing her down the dreaded path toward "further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant."...

American Thinker: Black Mob Violence at Christmas, All Over the Country  ... "Let’s start in a small town near Houston called Texas City, where hundreds of black people decided to celebrate Christmas Night at a party promoting “Hood Night.’ " ...

Three cheers for the NYPD   ..."How ironic that [Sharpton] titled his bit of street theater a “We Will Not Go Back” march. Because that’s precisely what he wants the city to do: return to the ugly days when cops failed to control crime, chaos ruled and the city was barely livable.

"Only two decades ago, the city saw 2,245 people murdered in a single year. That’s more than six lives a day — and most of those were the lives of blacks and Hispanics. Moms and dads had their kids sleep in bathtubs to avoid stray bullets.

"Today, thanks to the men and women in blue, this year the average is less than one murder a day. Think of all the lives, minority lives, that have been saved." ...

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

Hot Air

"Note: Includes 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?

 

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.

Ret. Woburn Chief Emotionally Speaks Out About “Protests” at Candle Light Vigil Honoring Slain Woburn Officer Jack Maguire

I'm so thankful today's Democrat Party is above such actions.


One more sad note about US race relations back in those days. If we could only right those wrongs from long ago, to those people who were victims at that time.

Sadly, there was this incident in the Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge: Massacre of 11 black soldiers  “ 'On 15 February 1945, I personally examined the bodies of the American Negro soldiers listed below,” Everett wrote. In a single-spaced, one-page memo, the assistant regimental surgeon chronicled their wounds. Most had been killed by blows to the head with a blunt instrument, probably a rifle stock. They had been stabbed repeatedly with bayonets. The finger of one man was almost completely severed. The soldiers had been shot multiple times."

These solders were known as The Wereth 11 of WWII

...The Wereth incident happened on the same day, about 10 miles away in the farming village of Wereth, Belgium, and was likely carried out by the same division under SS Major Joachim Peiper.
After walking 10 miles in the deep snow to reach American lines, Mr. Stewart and 10 other black soldiers from the 333rd arrived, cold and wet, at the farmhouse of Mathias Langer, the Wereth mayor who took them in and gave them bread.

But someone in town tipped off the Germans, and an hour later a four-man SS patrol pulled up. The unit marched the U.S. soldiers into a cow pasture and executed them. Army autopsies showed signs of torture, although no one but the executioners really knows what happened in that field...

Profanity-screaming Muslims attack German church-goers, media silent

The love affair Muslims had for Germany when the Nazis were killing Jews by the millions seems to have dissipated. 
I have long resented that peaceful Muslims do not publicly condemn acts such as this.  By the same token I have begun - at last! - to realize many of us Christians need to condemn the acts of the
Westboro "Baptist" Church  for their vicious behavior (but it is good to note they are an unusual group - not millions around the world). TD

Examiner.com

"According to an English translation of a report posted Friday at the German-language RP Online, a group of Muslim children, including one teenager, disrupted a Christmas service at St. Mary's Catholic church in the city of Mönchengladbach-Rheydt. According to the report, the Muslims disrupted the service shouting anti-Christian profanities. A Google search, however, found that aside from various conservative blogs, the news was completely ignored by the so-called "mainstream media.' "...  Hat tip to  Joe Newby

The 11 Most Politically Correct Moments on College Campuses in 2014

Katherine Timpf has done a great job compiling this list. Via College Insurrection

 

This is just a list of the subjects Ms. Timpf covers in more detail at the link.

"There are almost too many to choose from, but here are eleven of the most politically correct moments on college campuses in 2014:"

1. Princeton University students launched a microaggression-reporting service.

2. College students invented a roofie-detecting nail polish — only to be told that that’s actually also rape culture.

3. Students hosted an anti-rape-culture rally only to be told that’s — yep — actually also rape culture.

4. A school campaigned against “offensive” language such as “wuss,” “you guys,” and “derp” because it has an “oppressive impact on culture.”

5. Students opposed a female-to-male transgender candidate for class diversity officer because he’s a white man.

6. A school told its orientation officers not to use the word “freshman” because it promotes rape.

7. A liberal group demanded the school teach a mandatory transgender-sensitivity class to right the wrongs of colonial America.

8. A student newspaper’s editorial board wrote a whole piece about how racist bras are. 

9. The War on Tacos.

10. The War on Coconut Bras. The photo at right I used to think hilarious, but it kinda gags me now.

11. Harvard University was about to stop buying water machines from the Israeli company SodaStream because they might be a microaggression.

What can happen when you have a Muslim's baby

Debbie Schlussel   "No tears from me for Lidia Herrera, a former Cuban, who married a Bosnian Muslim. She’s whining that her young boy is now an ISIS terrorist, courtesy of her husband who joined the jihad. You would think a woman who escaped Cuban subjugation and tyranny would decline to choose yet more subjugation and tyranny that is inherent in Islam. But you would be wrong.

"The last time Lidia Herrera saw her son was in November last year when she gave him to his father before leaving home in Italy and going to visit relatives in Cuba. But instead of babysitting the boy, her estranged husband Ismar Mesinovic instead took his son to Syria where he signed up to fight for ISIS. And now, a year after the pair went missing, Miss Herrera has seen her son again for the first time as part of an online propaganda campaign for the terror group." ...

Obama, a One-Man Revolution; In his “fourth quarter,” he feels free to ignore popular opinion, the rule of law, and Congress.

Victor Davis Hanson

 

"Until now there were two types of peaceful American change. One was a president, like Franklin D. Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, working with Congress to alter American life from the top down by passing a new agenda. The other was popular-reform pressure, as happened in the 1890s or 1960s, to change public opinion and force government to make new laws or change existing ones.

"Barack Obama has introduced a quite different, third sort of revolution. He seeks to enact change that both the majority of Americans and their representatives oppose. And he tries to do it by bypassing Congress through executive orders and presidential memoranda of dubious legality." ...

Patton Relieves Bastogne  ..."Enter "Old Blood and Guts," General Patton. Employing a complex and quick-witted strategy wherein he literally wheeled his 3rd Army a sharp 90 degrees in a counterthrust movement, Patton broke through the German lines and entered Bastogne, relieving the valiant defenders and ultimately pushing the Germans east across the Rhine."

Elsewhere on the battlefield, troops from the segregated 578th Field Artillery picked up rifles to support the 106th Golden Lions Division, and an outfit called the 761st “Black Panthers” became the first black tank unit to roll into combat under the command of General George S. Patton. As the battle wore on, Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and John C.H. Lee called on black troops to cover the Allied losses at the front. Several thousand had volunteered by the time the engagement ended.
