Headlines you'll never see....

Ironic, I think that the man who represented the New Black Panthers on Bill O'Reilly some time ago claimed that it was impossible for blacks to be racist. Not only is it an arrogant claim, but a dishonest one as well. ANYONE at ANYTIME can be racist. Sadly we hear alot more about the Duke case than this one. 8 convicted of hate attack in Long Beach - Los Angeles Times While justice in this case may have been served, there certainly are no winners. Instead of having the case openly aired across the nation, this news was essentially swept under the mainstream media carpet for what I would guess is its unpalatability. Surely no one wants to read that black folk can be mean, vindictive and racist. Just ask Reginald Denny. Of course I'm being facetious. Reginald Denny was beaten by a crowd of blacks under the influence of 'mob mentality.' To tell the truth, I'm surprised that defense wasn't tried here.
And so it goes throughout the history of the late 20th century that whenever blacks commit heinous crimes the press gives them an excuse to have committed it. Whenever we convict them we say we're sorry it had to be this way, then fund another worthless minority help program to try and dismiss our misplaced 'white guilt.' If we are ever wrong in our convictions we are held fast to the fire and ordered to pay millions to the wronged person as we apologize profusely. Too bad it only works that way for the minorities. We'll never hear I'm sorry from the unreelected Cynthia McKinney. She's probably making $1000 a plate appearances on the lecture circuit. Mike Nifong will do the same even if he is disbarred. Both of them will continue to profit from unfounded allegations invoking racist rants across the country. CNN, Fox News and all the major networks continue to paint a picture of racist whites and compliant, loving minorities that are stretching the boundaries of uncivil behavior. They get away with murder while we are accused of making them commit said murder.
One other high profile no show in the media is the fight in the Atlanta suburbs involving money and race. Fulton county has over 900,000 residents. 29% of them are upper middle class whites in the northern half of the county. The rest are mostly 'income challenged' blacks. The white folk want to break away and form their own county to better serve their interests. (They currently pay 48% of the county's taxes.) The blacks are crying racist and claiming that allowing the white folk to break away will decimate the county coffers. Duh. I cant imagine that blacks wouldn't try to do the same given a reversal of the circumstances. 'Course, the press would stand behind them. It would be the politically correct thing to do. Right?

It's about damn time!!

Finally, a lawmaker not afraid to say what a lot of people have been thinking. It was only a matter of time. Details - Top News- Lawmaker Under Fire for Slavery Comment - AOL News
The PC grip over this nation has got to be relaxed. Honestly, the demands of "wronged" minorities are just getting bolder and more ridiculous by the day. It's time that decent, upstanding individuals say that enough is enough. The comments from the legislator were prompted by the proposal that the state of Virginia formerly apologize for slavery. Excuse me??? The state of Virginia caused slavery? OK, I get it, quit yelling. The point is that The state of Virginia today has nothing to do with the state of Virginia from yesterday. This is an absolutely pointless piece of legislation (and waste of valuable time) that will simply have the blacks crying for MORE. While black members of the state body claimed that this would 'help with the healing process,' we all know that it would simply re-ignite the fires of gimme, gimme gimme that inevitably crop up from time to time where blacks demand slave reparations in the form of cash from white people. Too many things wrong with that picture, but that will be covered some other day. For now, let's just stick with the comment that blacks should "get over slavery."
Perhaps, to start, a definition. I do not think slavery should be forgotten, forgiven, tucked away, hidden or ignored. Getting over it simply means to stop with the crutch of history long gone to prop up the egos of blacks who feel the world owes them everything. The fact that there are black legislators in the same body as the offender tells me that we've come quite a long way in the 140 years since the Civil war. I personally find it offensive that blacks should be demanding anything at all. They've been given the benefit of the doubt, a break at every turn and more opportunity than they know what to do with. So 40 years after the civil rights movement what do we get? A black community that can't advise itself, police itself or even get along with itself. We're talking about people who idolize gangsta rappers and called Bill Cosby an Uncle Tom when he tried to tell them how it is. Get over it!
Next, why don't we discuss who this apology would come from. Now, you can say it is not personal all you like. (The STATE is apologizing, not the people!) But if blacks who emigrated to the country AFTER slavery was abolished take this kind of thing "personally," then so will I. So, let's cover some facts. Blacks did not end slavery without the help of an awful lot of white people. With the exception of a few units, the civil war was pretty much fought, and won, by white folks. Whites pretty much ran the government when the civil rights laws were passed. Whites helped educate blacks. Whites ran the underground rail road, set up quota systems, voted in a holiday for a plagiarizing woman beater...you get the idea. Blacks are demanding an apology from the very people who helped them get to where they are today. It's biting the hand that feeds you in the purest form. Blacks today act as if the entire white world is the enemy when just the opposite is generally true. Demanding an apology of ANY kind is simply a slap in the face to whites everywhere. Let's face it...if ALL whites were against all blacks, we would still have slavery, right? Get over it!
The longer blacks decide they can't get along in the world without the help of white people because of the 'horror' of slavery, the further backwards they will go. It should be a slap in the face to every one of the millions of successful blacks in this country to hear this kind of crap, but it is not the party line. They would rather support their 'brothers' than appear to be against anything that is "for" blacks. Now, for all those folks out there SCREAMING at me that blacks can get along fine on their own, let's cover a few more complaints;
"There are not enough blacks in TV shows!" Actually, I think the problem is a lack of talented black writers, producers, etc. No one is stopping them from going to school, learning their trade or starting their own company. Like tons of whites who came before them, and earned their way. Period.
"There are not enough minorities in NASCAR!" According to who? Tell you what, if you want more minorities in racing, do what most of the white kids did...start young and form your own team. Get a talented driver, some competent crew members and corporate sponsors! See? Easy! Seriously, there's nothing stopping FUBU, BET or P. Diddy from starting their own race team. Why are you waiting for a white folk funded "driver diversity" program?
"There are not enough black Generals, Admirals, pilots, news anchors, sea captains, CEOs, managers, leaders, etc." (This could go on all night but you get the idea.) Sorry, but there is no cure for this problem that white folks can supply. It's a matter of making good use of all the resources offered. The 'mental blockage' brought on by the 'slavery mentality' and the onslaught of 'white privilege' is a problem you invented, not me. I am sick and tired of excuses and demands that minorities put forward as serious agenda so they can 'move on' in this world. Millions make it on their own every day. All you have are lame excuses and laziness. GET OVER IT!!

Tom Teepen tries to deepen my white guilt!

Today, raving fruitcake Tom Teepen printed a column of utter stupidity that I am certain is just feeding the fertile imaginations of minorities everywhere. They love nothing more than someone who verifies their "cause." Details - Teepen: America's racist past still lives ... just ask Oprah For your amusement, here's the e-mail I sent in reply to his filth.

Concerning your column I read in the Corpus Christi Caller Times on 13 Jan 07 titled 'Our racist past lives on...just ask Oprah.' First, let's get a few facts straight:
1. I'm white and I could not care less about what Oprah does with her money. She earned it and what she does with it is her business.
2. Most white folks feel this way.
3. It is REALLY irritating when columnists write generalizations about white folks based on what less than one half of one percent of them say.
4. I believe charity starts at home, not at Christian missions far away. (Interesting side note here. When several NBA stars visited a mission schoolhouse in Africa I was appalled but not surprised to see that the eighth grade students of a one room schoolhouse in the middle of a desert staffed by a volunteer spoke better English than the "college educated" NBA stars. I guess it's more a matter of want, than resources.)
5. As for whites getting upset when blacks(or any other minority for that matter) make exclusive charities, that evolves out of the apparent laws against whites doing anything for themselves without involving other races. We cannot promote ourselves, be proud of ourselves or start any club, scholarship fund, television show, awards society, social gathering or any other thing involving more than two persons without first involving at least one gay Jewish black woman. Isn't it funny how studies involving minorities that conclude they prefer the company of like individuals find them to be good, upstanding people, but if it concludes that whites prefer the company of whites they're assumed to be a bunch of hood wearing, card carrying members of the KKK?
6. In my humble opinion, the black community does more to hurt itself than help itself. Katrina was the perfect example of this. Given the chance to stand before the world and hold each other up, the black community instead chose to self implode and beat each other down. Let's face it. After 40 years of racial enlightenment, we are more aware of 50 Cent, Jay-Z and Beyonce' than Ronald Mcnair and Bill Lester. (Sadly, we cannot hold up Condoleeza Rice without putting Cynthia McKinney beside her.) That, sir, is your legacy, not mine.
7. Minorities across the country can attend any school they aspire to as well as many private institutions that were built and are sustained just for them. It has been this way for many, many years. You have no room to bitch and no excuses left. "White privilege" is a myth. "Hook a brother up, yo" is a reality.
8. Minorities who want to do something and understand that they have to earn it, like EVERYONE ELSE, will generally do so, usually with little or no help from their own community. If they did, I am certain we would hear about it. Endlessly. Those who expect to be given the world will come up with every excuse why they aren't getting it while they sit around waiting for someone to hurry up and give it to them. Why one group ends up in the media a lot more than the other is beyond me.
By rehashing 'the confusions that came with the first slave ship' you set yourself back hundreds of years. I am not holding you back, you are. I refuse to feel guilt or be ashamed of my race so that you may feel better. If belittling whites is the only thing that brings you peace, I feel sorry for you. You are a little, petty person that will never be happy. In 1983 I joined the US Navy. There were four white guys, including me, in my boot camp company. We all went in together and had the same opportunities throughout our careers. If they are not living next to me with two new cars and a fabulous post career job, it is not my fault. I am truly sick and tired of loudmouths like you painting a different picture. I EARNED all that I have. I was not put on this planet to pay for what you believe to be the sins of my father. For the record, my family came here (as did many whites) as indentured servants. We got over it.
The crap you spew into your column just further ignites the reading youth to believe that someone should be making them kings of the worlds. (For the record, there have never been any Monarchs in Africa.) As for the bottom line in your column, you said, and I quote, "Some of the griping came Winfrey's way from within the black community," but I guess you only see fit to vilify the whites for their opinion. Way to go on your balanced journalism you schmuck. Grow up and take responsibility. Maybe someday you will be somebody.

As sure as I am that my e-mail will make a quick trip to his trash bin I am equally certain that he will be an angry man for the rest of his life.

Immigration and the ACLU

Let's start by just confirming (reaffirming?) that I am no fan of the ACLU. Time and time again I have watched in horror as they defend the stupid and ignore real world issues. The latest example of their actions has them defending the rights (rights??) of a bunch of illegal immigrants. Details - Rhode Island news Rhode Island news projo.com The Providence Journal OK now..so lets get this straight. We're upset that some troopers did their job and caught some criminals. Why? The criminals were 'racially profiled.' Huh? What are we supposed to do, wait until the illegals put on their "Kiss me, I'm an illegal immigrant" t-shirts? Maybe living so far from any foreign borders puts the Rhode Island ACLU at a disadvantage. Maybe they don't understand the danger lurking across the borders. Details - Intellectual Conservative Politics and Philosophy » Maricopa County Attorney Asks why National Guard on Border Retreated from...
In any case, they are gonna have to accept that we don't live in a perfect world. The time for being delicate is over. The time for trying to be nice towards everyones sensibilities is past. It is time to retake our nation and punish those who would choose to give it away. Down here in south Texas, the border is less than a hundred miles away. The border patrol maintains stations well 'inland' from the actual boders. Everyone who passes through is stopped and questioned. They are asked to provide proof of citizenship. I faced it daily while going about my everyday job. I had no problem with this. I'm sure the R.I. ACLU would crap themselves at the thought of everyone being pulled, regardless of car type, color or radio station playing. The ONLY question asked is are you a U.S. citizen. At these checkpoints, hundreds of thousands of pounds of dope and coke are caught and taken. Hundreds of illegals are captured. Maybe the troopers in Rhode Island should just ask everyone they pull over to provide proof of citizenship. That way it wouldn't be racial profiling. What do you think, ACLU?
My point here is that we are needlessly harassing a couple of officers who should have been commended for their efforts that were above and beyond the normal scope of their assigned duties. Anything that helps curb the flow of illegal immigration is a good thing. Funny thing that the 'super new' democratic congress decided to pass the 9-11 bills without even mentioning immigration. I firmly believe that homeland security and comprehensive immigration reform go hand in hand. Of course, the reform isn't really needed if we just decide to enforce what R. Reagan signed into LAW back in '84. Call me all the nastiest names in the book, but if we continue to award prizes to folks who should be deported, worry about the sensibilities of muslim cab drivers and defend the rights of illegal immigrants not to be arrested we are GIVING AWAY AMERICA!

And the Stupidity Just Rolls On!!!

First of all, a huge load of crap to Toys'R'Us for caving in to the special interest cry babies who are ruining this country. Details - Toys 'R' Us Reverses Decision on Baby Contest - AOL News By giving in and awarding prizes to several mothers, they twisted simple contest rules into their apparent willingness to support illegal immigration. As one advocate stated, if illegals are allowed in our schools why can't they win a contest? Weeeelllll...let's just go a bit further, shall we? Let's send them home with a quick boot in the a$$! Deport them AS PER THE LAW! I can't believe anyone would even consider listening to the whining much less reversing their decision. Count me as a former Toys'R'Us customer!
In even more stunning news, we now find out about the US-Mexico Social Security Totalization Agreement. Details - U.S.-Mexico Pact Revealed: Billions to Non-citizens No wonder the current administration has been trying to ease us into thinking about paths to citizenship for our illegal working stiffs. They've already decided to bankrupt the Social Security funds by giving it away to the illegals. YOUR hard earned tax dollars will be funneled to someone who has only to work in this country ILLEGALLY for 18 months! Maybe we could devise a system to take the SS bennies from all the bleeding hearts who advocate the illegals first!
Meanwhile, over in the "What the F@#K?" department, why in the world would the National Guard RETREAT from encroaching armed men who crossed the border and fired at them? I believe the only excuse would be that they were unarmed. If that's the case, then we underestimated the enemy. Re-arm with TOW missiles, Apache and Cobra gunships and a few Harriers. If they were ordered not to shoot, their Chain of Command should be fired and their ROE updated. If they were unclear on the ROE for the use of deadly force, retrain them. I respect our National Guard and admire the job they do, but this is inexcusable. The border is where it all starts. If we allow them to get away with it once, they'll just keep a-coming. It is bad enough that we allow the unarmed invaders to cross unchallenged and don't always deport them when we find them. Speaking of which, shouldn't a certain Meat Packing company be getting huge fines levied against them? Nah, screw it! We'll just keep rewarding crime...
On the lighter side of things, color me surprised, but the Duke rape case fiasco is finally shaping up to be all it should have been from the get go. A big, fat ZERO! By reducing the charges to only things that can't be proven, the prosecution is simply denying the ugly truth. There is no case. Never was. Never will be. Too bad the New Black Panthers just can't understand. Their leader really embarrassed himself on the Bill O'Reilly show last night. Seems they just cannot accept that the accuser is a faker and a liar. The only result they will accept is guilty and they will never get it. Once they figure that out the cries and whining will begin anew. (Racism! White Privilege! Conspiracy!) I wonder why Jesse Jackson and the ACLU aren't in LA to assist in the Halloween Night hate crime attacks? Oh, that's right...the alleged victims are white. Racism and hate crimes aren't possible against white folk.
One final thought concerning a group of cab drivers. Details - Muslim Cab Drivers Refuse Customers As someone who spent more than two years in and out of Arab countries, let me just say that charity should start at home. Muslims, for the most part, drink just as much if not more than we Americans do. They also seem to own an inordinate amount of dogs. This is just another excuse to try and mold us to their "ways." Make no mistake about it. While the Shiite may be a reasonably tolerant bunch, the Sunni have one goal and one goal only. Join us or perish at our hands. Hello...does anyone see the back door being pried open? Maybe we should refuse to ride with any Muslim cab drivers! No, that would be racist and wrong. Right?
