Black Conservatives Aren't Really Black?

(Hat tip: KimR) - As far as left-wing Democrats are concerned, black conservatives aren't really black. To Democrats, black is a state-of-mind, not a color, and the only acceptable state-of-mind for an African American is that of a perpetually embittered, aggrieved victim of white racism.

Progressive 'Thought-Blockers': Racism--How the Left amasses and consolidates political power

(Hat tip: KimR) - Rather than being a racial healer, Barack Obama has presided over and at times stoked more racial divisiveness than we have seen in a long while. Just in the last year we’ve had Black Lives Matter marches and verbal assaults of Democratic candidates, the Oscar protests over the absence of nominated black actors, Ivy League university students marching over “microagressions” no one else can see, and the still simmering protests and agitation over police shootings of black men. Driving it all is our duplicitous and malignant national racial discourse. Read more at Frontpage Magazine Read More......

New FBI Study Proves Liberal Narrative on Racism and Islam WRONG

For months (maybe even years) liberals have been wringing their hands with concern about how Americans treat our Muslim neighbors. According to the generally agreed upon liberal narrative of American racism – today in America Muslims face very real threats from the non-Muslims they interact with. --Take, for example, Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s recent remarks on the subject...

Re: Speak Out OSU

From: Riker Kasamoto, President, OSU College Republicans -- On Monday, November 16, 2015, students of color spoke out about their experiences with racism on campus. On Wednesday, the Daily Barometer published an article I wrote pertaining to the event; In regards to Monday 'Speak Out OSU' event. --One person wasn't fond of the letter and wrote; In regards to Kasamoto letter on Nov. 18. --I created a response to this letter but the barometer wouldn't publish it since they only allow one entry per month. Here it is...

My response to Riccio:
Being somewhat critical of the Speak Out OSU event, I attempted to bring both sides of the aisle together by writing “Speak Out OSU should represent students under Orange and Black, not just on race."

Alexander Riccio wasn't fond of these comments and said, "it is not admirable to pine for abstract unity without acknowledging the social differences that stratify society."

There are key social differences between blacks that live in the urban city and whites that live in suburbia. Two of the biggest Civil Rights challenges for African Americans today are the violence occurring in cities like Chicago as well as the anti-police rhetoric that was spawned following the events in Ferguson, Missouri. The grievances expressed at Speak Out OSU pale in comparison.

People of all races seem to get along in Corvallis. Thus, why not have an inclusive conversation about institutional racism? The most eye-opening conversations that I had regarding multicultural issues were in TCE 219, a Baccalaureate Core class taught by Winston Cornwall. Cornwall set up panels for students of color, women, disabled, LGBT, and yes, white men to share their opinions regarding civil rights and multiculturalism. The most problematic part of Speak Out OSU was that they purposely excluded white people from giving their input to an important conversation.

I cannot speak on behalf of the white community because I am a student of color but it is observable that many white students today feel like they are not welcomed or included. The university has already implemented reverse discrimination programs such as affirmative action. In the 21st century, I would hope that we could all get along and speak to one another about our differences, regardless of skin color. Apparently not, as people like Riccio want to continue judging people based on their skin color.

The battle to erase history moves to New Orleans

HOT AIR - Did you really think they were going to stop with the Confederate Battle Flag? --Forget flags, kids. Now we’re going to tear down statues. And we’re not talking about statues which popped up during the civil rights movement in the sixties here… these are more than a century old. There are four statues at the St. Charles Avenue circle in New Orleans which are now going to be torn down if activists have their way. (I was stationed there in the early 70s and have been by the circle many times. It’s a beautiful display.) But Bobby Jindal is trying to figure out if there’s a way to stop it. Read More......

The Strange ‘Black Lives Matter’ Movement

The Black Lives Matter movement is a bizarre new phenomenon that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Instead of addressing real issues of racism, the activists focus on a few incidents where a black person has gotten into a deadly confrontation with law enforcement — but where there doesn’t appear to have been any racism. In many of the incidents, the officers themselves were black or Hispanic. The high-profile accusations and scrutiny have resulted in ruining the careers and reputations of many law enforcement officers, who are often forced to resign, subsequently facing civil lawsuits and even criminal charges. The activists are getting bolder, most recently interrupting two speeches by far left Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Instead of working with him — a fellow radical leftist and strong ally — these activists are shouting him down and not allowing him to speak.

A Letter to My African-American Daughter, and a Response to Ta-Nehisi Coates

This month, Ta-Nehisi Coates published Between the World and Me, a powerful collection of essays written in the form of letters to his teenage son. The book is a sensation on the left, and it is full of rage and even hate. Rather than write a conventional review of the book, I thought I’d respond with my own letter, written to my seven-year-old African-American daughter. --Dearest Naomi, So far, it’s the small moments that are hard to explain. Like this summer, when we walked past a young black man in Manhattan. He was frustrated. Cab drivers were zooming past him, refusing to stop. He stood in the street, hand raised, but no one would slow down. Finally, a white woman shook her head, walked into the street, and instantaneously hailed a cab. She held the door open for him, apologized, and said, “One day, things will change.”

90% of the Racism in America Comes from the Democratic Party and the Left

Ninety percent of the racism in America today comes from the Democratic Party and the Left. They live off it and exploit it. It is unconscionable to the degree they do this, ruining the lives and futures of the very people they say they are helping in the process. --I am uniquely positioned to say this because I spent most of my life on the Left and was a civil rights worker in the South in my early twenties. I was also, to my everlasting regret, a donor to the Black Panther Party in the seventies.

Bobby Jindal and Liberals’ Racist Double-Standard

KEVIN D. WILLIAMS - Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is, we are informed by all the best people, insufficiently ethnic. Governor Jindal, born in Baton Rouge, is Punjabi in the sense that your average Philadelphian with a surname ending in a vowel is Italian: ancestrally, trivially. Governor Jindal’s speech, culture, mannerisms, politics, religion, habits, and affect are as far removed from Chandigarh, the north Indian city where his parents met, as they are from Bogota or Stuttgart. The governor insistently rejects the tossed salad model in favor of the melting pot: an American is an American is an American, in his view. --For his political conservatism Governor Jindal, like Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina and conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza, also Republicans of Indian origin, is savaged as an Uncle Tamas — an Indian guilty of acting white.

Liberals are still getting the South all wrong

JONAH GOLDBERG - ‘Lots of folks expected us to do something strange and break out in a riot. Well, they just don’t know us,” the Rev. Norvel Goff told the packed, multiracial congregation of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on Sunday. It was the first service since the horrific slaughter of nine innocent souls by a racist fanatic. --Not being a Christian, I can only marvel at the dignity and courage of the victims’ relatives who forgave the shooter. If I could ever manage such a thing, it would probably take me decades. It took them little more than a day.

Sexism and Racism Are Leftism

Discrimination by sex and by race are ancient innate pathologies and transcend particular cultures. But the American idea of sexism and racism in the 21st century — unfailing, endemic, and institutional discrimination by a majority-white-male-privileged culture against both women and so-called non-white minorities — has largely become a leftist construct.
  --We can see how these two relativist -isms work in a variety of ways. One, the frequent charge of racism and sexism is predicated not so much on one’s gender and race as on one’s gender, race, and politics.

The Loretta Lynch Race Game

Saturday’s Washington Post front page carries on its recent tradition of fanning racialist flames without substantial regard to fact or context.

The header reads: “Race creeps into debate over stalled nomination for attorney general” and the first graph notes that “African American and other civil rights leaders” are infuriated that Loretta Lynch’s confirmation as attorney general has been held up because of -- you guessed it -- racism. Responding to the president’s dog whistle, National Action network and multimillionaire tax scofflaw Al Sharpton says he’s going on a three-day hunger strike to force consideration of her nomination. Be our guest, Al. (Although after the stomach stapling, there’s not much more to be lost.)

America Is Among Least Racist Countries In The World

From 2010 to 2014, the World Values Survey asked residents in over 50 countries who they would not want as neighbors. Just over five 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.

Townhall: The Left is Killing King’s Dream

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., August 28, 1963 | AP Photo

By Michael Schaus - The spectacle of the pro-Obama rally yesterday, disguised insufficiently as a tribute to one of America’s civil rights heroes, was rife with an undercurrent of unintentional irony. After all, it was the Democrat Party that led the Confederacy in the Civil War, opposed the civil rights legislation throughout the 20th Century, and used the federal government to intimidate would-be civil rights activists. The event, however, did awaken a renewed interest in the words of Martin Luther King Jr. for many Americans. One line, above all else, from his 1963 Address at the Lincoln Memorial speaks today as a testament to Liberalism’s callous, and repeated, failings in the black community.

Perryman: Obama's References to His Party's Racist Past

#3
President Barack Obama is one of the only black elected officials and one of the only black leaders in modern-day history - who has openly discussed how badly Democrats have treated black voters and he does so in his book: Dreams From My Father. The book highlights a conversation where black Democrats referred to their relationship with the Democratic Party as “Plantation Politics.” (p. 147). Obama reports that during this conversation blacks in the barber shop asked themselves, why do they keep voting Democrat when blacks have “the worst jobs, the worst housing, Police brutality rampant, … and we all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our soul for a Christmas Turkey. White folks spitting in our faces and we'd reward them with the vote.”

Obama also states in his book that some white Democrats said they would “vote Republican before voting for a black [Democrat] to be mayor” of Chicago. (p. 148)

During Obama's Victory Speech on November 5, 2008 he talked about Ann Nixon Cooper, a black woman who could not vote because of his party's voting policies in the South and during that same speech he referred to “the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, the bridge in Selma and the preacher from Atlanta,” - all racist situations that occurred in areas where Democrat elected officials were in control.

He also talked about his party's racist past during his March 18, 2008 speech regarding Rev. Wright. The then Senator Obama said, “…so many of the disparities that exist in the African American community today can be traced directly to the inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the [Democrat's] brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.”

Obama, a student of history knew that his party made the following statements in several of their national platforms:

DEMOCRATS' 1844 PLATFORM for SLAVERY

“All efforts by the abolitionist and others made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery... are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences....”

DEMOCRATS' 1852 PLATFORM for SLAVERY

“The Democratic Party standing on this national platform will abide by and adhere to a faithful execution of the acts [meaning Fugitive Slave Laws]... for reclaiming fugitives.... The Democratic Party will resist all attempts at renewing in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt is made.”

Not one Democrat voted for the 13th Amendment to end slavery and as a party, Democrats did not vote to pass the 14th Amendment to make blacks citizens nor did they support the 15th Amendment to give blacks the right to vote.

Obama is one of the only black leaders who have acknowledge these wrongs by his party. so with this lawsuit we are simply asking: based on what he knows about his party's racist past and how they have treated black folks, why is he and the leaders of his party reluctant to issue a public apology?

Interview: Rev Wayne Perryman Sued the Democratic Party for History of Racism

#1
Breitbart.tv Editor-in-Chief Larry O'Connor and host of The Stage Right Show, interviewed Rev. Wayne Perryman about his new book Whites, Blacks and Racist Democrats (released Oct 2010). In the October 11, 2010 interview, Perryman spoke about his previous suit asking for a public apology from the Democratic Party for its racist history. He lost that suit on the grounds that he was from Seattle, and therefore, did not have 'standing.' Listen to the fascinating interview at Breitbart.tv. You will be very proud to be a Republican. The GOP's honorable history on the advancement of civil rights is being buried. Perryman is determined to not let that happen. Read More......

Radio host David Webb reacts to attack by Rep. Carson on Tea Party

On August 31st, David Webb, black talk show host and a founder of Tea Party 365 appeared on Megyn Kelly’s America Live on FNC in reaction to Andre Carson’s comment that the tea party wants blacks 'hanging on a tree.' SEE VIDEO. Webb points out that most blacks are Democrats; blacks make up 12% of the population, therefore, black conservatives make up a very small percentage of Americans. So it is not surprising to find few blacks involved in the tea party. He maintains that it’s not a matter of color, it’s a matter of principle. He advocates for limited government and sound fiscal policy. ✧ According to a 2010 article on Webb’s website, if you are black and you’re not a Democrat and especially if you are a tea partier, you’re an Oreo, a traitor, a ‘spook at the door’, or an Uncle Tom. If this isn't a form of racism, it is intimidation and it's coming from black leadership as heard recently from members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Read More......

Al Gore Compares Climate Change to Civil Rights Fight

Former Vice President Al Gore is comparing the struggle to win over climate change skeptics to the fight against racism. ✧ When racist comments would come up in the course of conversations, “There came a time when people said, 'Hey man, why do you talk that way? That's wrong, I don't go for that, so don't talk that way around me. I just don't believe that,'” Gore said in an interview Friday with FearLess Revolution founder Alex Bogusky. ✧ "That happened in millions of conversations, and slowly the conversation was won,” Gore said. “And we still have racism, God knows, but it's so different now and so much better. And we have to win the conversation on climate.” Read more at Fox News...
