HOW THEY CELEBRATE 4TH OF JULY IN THE GUN FREE ZONE OF CHICAGO

It sure is lucky Rahm Emmanuel’s liberal paradise of Chicago has the toughest gun laws in Illinois. Imagine how many people would have been shot if they weren’t so tough. I didn’t see anything about these Chicago festivities on the national MSM news stations. I guess 9 dead black people only matters if they are killed by a white boy. Black lives matter whenever it is convenient for the race baiters like Obama, Sharpton, and Jackson to make it matter. The liberal MSM eats up the racism angle whenever a white person is involved. Of course, 93% of all black shootings were committed by other blacks. That statistic never makes the news. It doesn’t support the storyline.

Is there a flag we can start banning due to the slaughter of black people by other black people in Chicago?

I just know this horrific slaughter of black people by black people will lead to an open dialogue of how white people are to blame. I think stronger gun laws will surely stop criminals from killing people without guns. Maybe if we give the Chicago teacher’s union another $100 million they can teach black kids not to shoot each other.

Fourth of July weekend shootings have left nine people dead — including a 7-year-old boy — and at least 47 others injured since Thursday evening.

Seven-year-old Amari Brown was killed in a shooting that also left a 26-year-old woman wounded late Saturday in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.

Amari, who lived in the 500 block of North Drake, was taken to Stroger Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:56 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Police said Sunday the bullet that fatally wounded 7-year-old Amari Brown on the Fourth of July was meant for his father. Both Amari and the 26-year-old woman were shot at 11:55 p.m. in the 1100 block of North Harding, police said.

The boy’s father, Antonio Brown, is a ranking gang member with 45 previous arrests and was not cooperating with police as of Sunday afternoon as they tried to find his son’s killer, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said Sunday.

“It’s crazy. Like who would shoot a 7-year-old? He got shot in the chest. Who would do that? To a baby?” Amari’s grandmother, 52-year-old Vida Hailey asked as she waited for news outside Stroger. “All the kids that are getting killed out here – it’s crazy. When is it going to stop?”

Racism Is More A Product Than A Problem

Guest post by Monty Pelerin

racism the justice bros.

Racism still exists in this country. But it does so on a remarkably small level compared to both history and other countries around the world.

Racism Compared

Despite all the commotion, just how racist is the US? Facts suggest that it is among the least racist countries in the world. Jamie Weinstein provides this perspective:

America Is Among Least Racist Countries In The World

racism13With all the recent race clang clanging on MSNBC and other cable news networks, now’s probably a good time to remind everyone that America is among the least racist countries in the world.

 

I know this statement will be shocking news to regular viewers of “PoliticsNation,” but it also has the quality of being true.

From 2010 to 2014, the World Values Survey asked residents in over 50 countries who they would not want as neighbors. Just over 5 percent of respondents in the United States said “people of a difference race.” That’s far more tolerant a response than citizens of most European, African and Asian countries gave. As a comparison, 15 percent of Germans, 41 percent of Indians and 22 percent of Japanese said they wouldn’t want to live next to “people of a different race.” The Washington Post depicted the results in a useful chart.

The survey is probably not a perfect indicator of how pervasive racism is in a given society, but the results do correlate with what we know anecdotally. Take, for instance, the fact that America elected and then reelected a black man for president.

Yes, I know. Some in the civil rights industry like to argue that this doesn’t mean anything. But of course it does. Blacks make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population. There aren’t too many examples of a democratic country electing someone from such a distinct and previously persecuted minority to their top office.

It is totally impossible, for instance, to imagine a person of color being elected to lead any major country in Europe, at least anytime in the near future. Same with Canada. Same with a racial or religious minority anywhere in Asia or Africa. Perhaps there are examples of leaders from minority groups being elected in free and open elections to the top office of the land in a few countries, but none come immediately to mind. Even the white interim president of Zambia doesn’t exactly qualify because he wasn’t elected to the post. The point is, if it is not unprecedented, it is pretty rare. It means something that the United States elected an African-American president.

The United States is also a country where seven of the eight most powerful celebrities, according to Forbes, are African American. That’s an amazing statistic — one also not indicative of a virulently racist society. Ayatollah Khamenei may attack America on Twitter as a racist country over the recent events in Ferguson, but I can assure you the most powerful celebrities in Iran aren’t Jewish.

If the best examples Al Sharpton can draw upon to prove America is a place where black people are routinely killed by cops without punishment are the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases, then it just shows you how weak his narrative is.

We don’t have cameras to know exactly went on in Ferguson, but the preponderance of evidence suggests that Officer Darren Wilson didn’t randomly shoot and kill Michael Brown for kicks and giggles. The Garner case appears far more problematic in terms of how the police acted, but even Garner’s family doesn’t think what happened had a racial component.

Cops sometimes overreact and there are probably too many police shooting deaths in the United States, but the Brown and Garner cases hardly demonstrate that racist cops are regularly and deliberately killing African-Americans with impunity.

None of this is to say that there is no racism in America anymore or that terribly racist events never occur here. There is and they sometimes do. We need and can do better as a country, but we also ought put things in perspective. We have come a long way since the 1950s. Far from being a bastion of racism, America today is in fact one of the least racist countries in the world.

Why Racism Is Important

Mr. Weinstein’s perspective is one that most Americans believe and should believe. Sadly, there are elements in this country who thrive and even survive on racism. It is not the practice of racism that benefits these people. It is convincing others that racism exists that is their scheme.

racebaitingRacism is a product for these people. It is sold like other products and with similar rewards. Big dollars and votes are the rewards. The beneficiaries of these rewards are the race hustlers and the politicians. Bruce Thornton explains:

Since the rise of identity politics and anti-poverty programs in the 60s, the plight of the black underclass has worsened, even as the self-selected race tribunes––professors, “activists,” lobbyists, government employees, celebrities, politicians––have flourished. Given that the moral capital financing the race industry comes from the misery and suffering of underclass blacks, race-grievance entrepreneurs must ward off solutions to those problems that challenge the narrative justifying their own power.

Some race hustlers have dedicated their entire lives to the promotion of racism. For them, it is an occupation not unlike ambulance chasing. Keeping racism alive keeps them in the spotlight. It provides fame and fortune for these pimps that exceeds what they could obtain pimping street wares.

The Democrat Party sells racism as a product. This Party has no discernible governing strategy. It only has an election strategy and that is based on the notion of oppression. They identify and classify voters by group and then claim specific oppression of one sort or the other. Other than government workers, every Democrat constituency is  told they are oppressed. Blacks, for whatever reasons, have fallen for the fake compassion more than any other group based on the 95% or so who vote Democrat. The pretense of racism is necessary in order to keep blacks on the Democrat Plantation. If the Democrats lost even a small share of this vote, their viability as a meaningful national party would be threatened.

Democrats are now targeting Hispanics as the next oppressed group. Democrats pretend to be for amnesty regardless of the law in order to create and mine this new potential voting constituency. Republicans are painted as hating Hispanics just like they are supposed to hate blacks, women, welfare recipients, LGBTs, etc. etc. Any constituent of the Democrat Party is claimed to be a hate target of the Republican Party.

The Tragedy of Claiming Racism

racism chessFalse claims of racism are tragic. They make minorities believe that their fate in life has been pre-determined. Racism means they have no control over their future. If success is based on color or some other attribute, study and work to achieve success becomes meaningless. Because your ability doesn’t count, why bother to try? How many young people have been brainwashed into believing this nonsense? How many valuable lives were not fulfilled as a result? Conveying this poison is equivalent to a form of child molestation!

Continuing to perpetuate the myths of racism is dangerous to society. Pitting groups against each other substitutes anger and force for voluntary interactions and transactions. Social friction helps no one. When people see themselves as anything but Americans, society becomes coarser and less safe. Encouraging or condoning riots in places like Ferguson sets the stage for something much bigger. If society unravels, the minorities will come out on the short end. That has been the history of minority-majority conflicts throughout history. Don’t pick a fight where you are obviously outnumbered. Don’t pick a fight or be drawn into one that you cannot possibly win.

Unfortunately the race pimps and politicians who benefit from racial strife are not going to quit so long as they personally benefit. Nor do these low-life leeches care about the costs to the country. Their personal advantage is all that matters. If other Americans have to be sacrificed to advance their pursuits, so be it. Eggs need to be broken in order to make an omelet.

NOT A HATE CRIME – RIGHT?

I’m sure Eric Holder is on a plane now flying to Missouri to investigate this hate crime. Obama will be making a speech on the White House lawn at any moment. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will surely be leading a march and praying with the victims. Right?

Terrifying moment gang of teens viciously beat couple on Missouri street after sexually harassing female victim outside nightclub

Police are asking for help identifying a group of young males involved in an assault on a couple in Springfield, Missouri.

The Springfield Police Department has released surveillance video of the brutal beating that occurred on Friday August 22 in downtown Springfield.

The couple, Meredith Cole and her boyfriend Alex Vessey, were both treated at hospital for serious injuries after the ordeal.

 

Surveillance footage: Alex Vessey and his girlfriend Meredith Cole were approached by a group of men who had allegedly earlier sexually assaulted Cole

Brutal attack: The young men began beating the pair, punching Cole in the face and knocking her to the ground

According to KY3 News, the confrontation began when Cole was standing outside of the Outland Ballroom where Vassey was working as a DJ.

She told the station she was approached by the group of men, who began to sexually assault her.

She said she went inside the club to find Vassey and alert him to the assault.

Vassey and Cole left the club to try and identify the men who Cole said assaulted her when they were set upon by a group of six young black males.

Vassey is punched and kicked repeatedly, while one of the men punches Cole in the face, knocking her to the ground.

She can be seen repeatedly trying to separate the men from her boyfriend and she is again pushed to the ground.

Alleged sexual assault: Cole says the men earlier tried to sexually assault her before the violent attack

After most of the young men run away, a white male wearing head-to-toe black and red sneakers runs into the shot and kicks Vassey multiple times before running off with the rest of the group.

Both Vassey and Cole appear to be bleeding from the head and Cole sustained a fractured ankle.

Police can be seen running after the suspects in hot pursuit, but the group scattered and none of the perpetrators were caught.

The are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 869-TIPS.

WHY IS HOLDER IN FERGUSON WHEN 36 BLACKS SHOT IN CHICAGO LAST WEEKEND?

There have been 1,600 shootings in Chicago this year. There have been 266 homicides. 80% of the victims were black. An equal percentage of the perpetrators were also black. Why does the death of one black man in Ferguson result in 40 FBI agents and the Attorney General swooping into that city, but dozens of blacks get gunned down every weekend in Chicago with absolutely no response from Obama or Holder? Every urban ghetto run by Democrats in this country has off the charts gun violence every day. Why doesn’t the Jesse and Al Show pull into these Democratic enclaves and demand someone be lynched?

CALLOUS DISREGARD: Obama’s Ferguson Remarks Ignore Yet Another Bloody Week in Chicago

By Investor’s Business Daily

Malignant Neglect: The president talks about Ferguson, Mo., but not about a Chicago weekend where three dozen people were shot, seven of them killed, including a 16-year-old black girl who wanted to be a doctor.

 

To his credit, President Obama was more judicious than usual talking about the shooting of Michael Brown outside St. Louis. He did not say the police acted stupidly. He actually made a rare attempt at acknowledging individual responsibility when he said that when young black men “commit a crime, they need to be prosecuted, because every community has an interest in public safety.” 

One of those communities is Chicago, about whose routine carnage the president has said little of substance, and where last weekend, as the fires of looted stores in Ferguson burned, seven people were shot dead and 29 were wounded. No need to put out the fires of perceived racial animosity or place special focus on the situation when it is young blacks routinely killing other young blacks.

If Sasha and Malia Obama, the president’s young daughters, had another sister, she might look like 16-year-old Shaquise Buckner. Chicago police say Shaquise, who was the same age as Malia, appeared to have been the unintended target of a gang-related drive-by shooting early Saturday morning.

Yet Attorney General Eric Holder went to Ferguson, not Chicago. Thirty-six people are shot in Chicago in a single weekend, seven of them fatally, yet the FBI sends 40 agents to Missouri to investigate the shooting death of one young black male.

In his remarks on Ferguson and the difficulties of young black men, Obama spoke of “communities that feel left behind; who, as a consequence of tragic histories, often find themselves isolated, often find themselves without hope, without economic prospects. You have young men of color who are more likely to end up in jail, or the criminal justice system, than they are to end up in a good job or college.”

One of those communities is Chicago.

HYSTERICALLY HYPOCRITICAL NAACP WHORES WERE ABOUT TO GIVE DONALD STERLING A 2ND LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

This shit is too funny. The hypocrisy of the NAACP, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson is hysterical. Evidently it has been known for decades that Sterling was a racist. How much of a whore organization do you have to be to award this guy a lifetime achievement award in 2009 and then plan to award him a 2nd lifetime achievement award next month for his contributions to race relations. It’s funny how these whores won’t reveal the amount of money he paid them to get this prestigious award.

It’s even funnier that Al Sharpton was going to be the master of ceremonies for Sterling’s award. I guess it takes a racebater to know one. I’m sure MSNBC will be doing an expose about the NAACP and their whore like behavior.

Even funnier is Jesse Jackson rearing his racist head to call for more affirmative action laws. Or you can send him a check for $1 million and he’ll change his mind.

Jackson, Sharpton, the libs and Obama sure appeared quickly and loudly regarding the comments of some old racist dude which hurt no one.

How come you don’t hear the same level of outrage from Jackson, Obama and Sharpton over the fun new game played by hundreds of upstanding black youths across the land – knocking out white people for fun. I believe hundreds of white people have been badly injured and some even killed by black youths “playing” this game. What is more outrageous? Some recorded comments between an old man and his whore, or assault and battery committed against white people as a game?

I understand OJ Simpson will now get the lifetime achievement award instead of Sterling for his contributions to black culture and ridding the world of two white devils.

Donald Sterling’s donations to NAACP led to latest award

LOS ANGELES — Donald Sterling donated money for years to the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP, which honored the Clippers owner with a lifetime achievement award in 2009 and was planning to present him another in May until the controversy broke over his racially insensitive comments that went public over the weekend.

The amount Sterling has given to the L.A. NAACP branch was not revealed at a news conference Monday held by L.A. branch president Leon Jenkins.

“It’s an insignificant amount of money, and we’re going to return it,” said Jenkins, who added the NAACP and Sterling have had a relationship for “maybe 15-20 years.”

Sterling’s award from the NAACP in 2009 came just before he agreed to pay a $2.765 million settlement in a case that alleged he discriminated against African Americans, Latinos and others at apartment buildings he owned in Los Angeles County.

The NAACP no longer plans to honor Sterling at its event next month, at which Rev. Al Sharpton and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti will receive awards as Persons of the Year.

“There is no place in my town for any racist company,” Garcetti said Monday on CNBC. “We don’t want to see leadership of any company here that’s not welcome in Los Angeles. And we absolutely won’t tolerate it. Those comments were despicable. I hope that the very strongest sanctions are levied by the league against the owner if it is proven that that indeed is Donald Sterling.”

Late Monday a protest group of 11 young black males showed up in front of Los Angeles’ Staples Center, home to the Clippers (and the Lakers), hoping at least some fans boycott Tuesday’s playoff game between the Clippers and Golden State Warriors. Their motto: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

Jenkins, however, said he won’t ask Sterling to return the 2009 award.

“This is not like the Heisman Trophy, dude,” he said. “He has the award. We’re not going to ask him to return an award that he got years ago.”

Jenkins said the NAACP decided to honor Sterling because of “a body of work. Mr. Sterling’s organization has on a consistent basis brought in the minority community. He has also over the years contributed to a number of minority charities. Compared to other L.A. franchises, his organization gave more money than the others.”

The president of the California branch of the NAACP was stunned when she got an invitation recently from the L.A. unit to its May gala honoring Sterling.

In an interview Monday with ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd, Alice Huffman said she was surprised Sterling was being given another lifetime achievement award.

“I thought to myself, ‘A second lifetime award? That’s kind of unusual. He hasn’t died and come back to life. He already has one lifetime award. Why the second one?’ And then this story broke,” said Huffman.

Huffman said it is not unusual for local chapters of the NAACP to receive donations from corporations and individuals and then hand out awards to those people.

“The local branches of the NAACP can choose people they have a close relationship with and if their executive committee agrees, they can give that person an award,” Huffman said.

“As I recall, the (L.A.) branch took a little heat for that award in 2009. The branch president pointed out that the litigation was going on and was not conclusive, and therefore he did not want to prejudge. They went ahead and gave him the award.

“What the world doesn’t know about an organization like the NAACP is that we are all volunteers,” Huffman said. “We don’t have a funding stream to support our activities across this country. Every local unit has to go and raise its own funds. We sort of have to work with corporations.

“But you have to have integrity. You can’t let the color of the money taint what you should be doing. I tell people who contribute to me, ‘If we can support you, we will. But you cannot buy the NAACP. We are not for sale. But we appreciate your support, because we make America a better place.’ ”

Garcetti, on CNBC, said the city is behind the Clippers players.

“Let me first say to the players that are the Clippers, I want to tell them that this city is behind them. They are welcome in this town and that we are rooting for them. I think they have been lost in the mix of all of this. And this is a fabulous team of great, bright stars. And this city is 100% behind you, especially as you prepare” for playoff games.

Other than Sharpton and Garcetti, NAACP honorees in May include Charles Patton, a retired attorney, who is to receive a lifetime achievement award; Shannon Brown, Federal Express executive; Javier Angulo, Wal-Mart executive; Leland Spencer, restaurant owner and Hester Watkins, retired educator.

 

Jesse Jackson: Sterling fracas shows affirmative action is needed

Donald Sterling’s racist remarks that resulted in a lifetime ban from the National Basketball Association Tuesday point out why affirmative action is needed, Rev. Jesse Jackson said Tuesday.

Appearing at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., Jackson pointed out the Sterling incident comes on the heels of a Nevada rancher who found trouble over similarly racist remarks, and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling upholding a ban on Affirmative Action in Michigan.

“Sterling shows why we need affirmative action,” Jackson said in an interview with MarketWatch. “People in high places have no will toward goodness unless the law is there to enforce it.”

Sterling was banned from the NBA for life on Tuesday in the wake of comments he made over the phone to his girlfriend. The remarks have resulted in a number of sponsors pulling away from his team, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the 80-year-old owner is seeing his team members and coach Doc Rivers criticize his remarks.

Jackson said it’s time for Sterling, who he said has a long history of racism, to pull away from the team.

“He should apologize, he should resign and he should sell the team,” Jackson said. “We have a high tolerance for racism. His past is very well known. It took this over-the-hill statement … to get to this point.”

Jackson added that Sterling’s comment pose an economic threat to the league and the team, which long has been one of the poorest in the NBA, and Sterling himself has been criticized for being one of the worst owners in professional sports.

“His words were so insulting and so incendiary, it embarrassed the NBA, affected its brand [and] humiliated the players,” Jackson said.

Jackson’s words were echoed by others at the conference, a gathering of movers and shakers in finance, politics and society. Jonathan Nelson, chief executive of Providence Equity Partners, and a frequent investor in sports ventures, said “one would hope” that Sterling sells the team.

Told that Sterling was receiving a lifetime ban from the league, Nelson quipped: “OK, that seems long enough.”

He said unlike other businesses, professional sports cannot tolerate racism because of the severe effect it can have on brands.

“There is nothing close to the value of sports,” he said, adding that Sterling’s remarks “cannot be tolerated.”
