(FrontPageMag)  A few years ago, Newsweek’s glossy cover asked “Is Your Baby Racist?” The baby looking back at supermarket shoppers, airline passengers waiting for their flight and patients in the dental office had blue eyes.
The labeling of racists as white has itself become a racial stereotype. And it’s not an accidental stereotype.
Behind the left’s support for affirmative action is the belief that white racism is the only kind of racism that exists. Black racism they insist is really called “reverse racism” and is a myth made up by white people.
It’s not that the left believes that affirmative action isn’t racist. It’s that it believes that there is no such thing as racism against white people.
Like the Knockout Game or white students who qualify on merit but can’t get into college because of racial diversity quotas; it’s an invalid category. A myth.
And if it’s a myth, then there’s nothing wrong with a little racial violence or a few racial preferences. (more…)

HatTip Sharon and Stella – We rose three weeks ago in support of Cliven Bundy; and despite the turmoil and toxicity created recently by a manipulative media we will remain so.
Why?  Simple.  Because we understand the larger context of what is actually taking place.  This is not about Cliven Bundy or racism any more than the land grab was about turtles or grazing fees.  The unification of a broad electorate, behind a commonality – is a risk.  It has always been thus.
Start by understanding this video:

In addition to the Frankfurt Fabian networks, and the conglomerates of institutionalized leftists, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly have also arrived to claim their pound of Bundy flesh, fall prey to the premise of the institutional left and insure the division.

It happened in February in Florida.
It happened again in March in Kansas City.
It happened again in April In Washington DC.
The PC Media just can’t bring themselves to write the actual name of the event.   It was officially called “African American Family Day” at the National Zoo; with free entrance from 10am -to- 4pm.

Wednesday, the Woodley Park community met with police and city leaders to discuss the shootings, safety, and the annual African-American Family Day at the zoo, which has become a place for youth to commit crimes in recent years

Given recent events, and considering how the institutional left claims a desire to want “that” racial conversation – yet factually do everything in their power to avoid actually having “that conversation” – lets look at how the event was described in the Politically Correct Media Empire as they were reporting on the DC Zoo violence.
Huffington Post:

Two men were shot Monday afternoon in the midst of a knot of people on Connecticut Avenue NW near the National Zoo, site of an annual Easter event that drew thousands of people over the course of the day.  (link)

If a riot breaks out, and no-one talks about it, did it actually take place ?

DC Police won’t talk about it.   DC Media won’t report on it.   It does not fit the currently allowed narrative.   However, it did happen….

Hey @DCPoliceDept – what was huge crowd of teens near Foggy Bottom Metro 7pm tonight? Saw MPD respond. Rumor is robbery flash mob.

 …..and failing to recognize the existence of crime does not protect you from it.

The only reporting on the event comes from the student newspaper at George Washington University.    Move along, move along folks…. nothing to see here…. move along.
WASHINGTON DC – The Metropolitan Police Department responded to a mob of 60 young people who were jumping on cars and vandalizing the area near the Watergate complex Monday, according to its public information office. (more…)

While the Obama administration did not file a brief in the case, Attorney General Eric Holder today praised Justice Sotomayor’s “courageous and personal dissent” in Schuette v. BAMN, yesterday’s decision upholding the right of Michigan voters to ban racial preferences in public university admissions. Holder’s remarks were, naturally, given at the Justice Department’s “Diversity and Inclusion Speaker Series.”   (read more)

We documented early on in the Trayvon Martin story how young Trayvon was using “Purple Lean” aka “Sizzurp” to get high.    Indeed the Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Juice, which were found on him at the time of the shooting, were two of the three ingredients he used in his favorite cocktail.
Lil’ Wayne, a notorious promoter of the drink, was Trayvon’s favorite rapper/artist.   Now the manufacturer of the codeine syrup pulls production and sales of their product.
Actavis pulls production and sales of their promethazine codeine syrup.
A pharmaceutical company has announced that they will cease production of a prescription cough syrup due to its association with drug sizzurp.
Sizzurp, also known as ‘purple drank’, is made from prescription cough syrup, hard candy and sugary soft drinks, and is popular among rap stars and pop prince-turned-wannabe gangster Justin Bieber.
Actavis say that it is the celebrity glorification of using their ‘Prometh with Codeine cough syrup’ to make sizzurp that has led to the company stopping all production and sales. (more…)

This shouldn’t really come as a surprise.    Justice  Sotomayor is ideologically blinded by… and define herself primarily by…  “race”.    She sees the world through the prism of race first and all other aspects second.    In President Obama’s life – “affirmative action” is the only reason a man of average grade and moderate intellect would be considered for Harvard and the HLR.  Obama makes this admission in his letter to the editor.
(WASHINGTON) — In a dissent to Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Michigan’s voter-approved ban on affirmative action programs in its public colleges, Justice Sonia Sotomayor speaks from experience about the complex impact of such programs on her own life.
Sotomayor’s 58-page dissent, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has one theme: Race matters.
Sotomayor notes that voters in Michigan could have used other means to eliminate the use of race-sensitive admissions policies.
“They could have persuaded existing board members to change their minds through individual or grassroots lobbying efforts, or through general public awareness campaigns,” she says. “Or they could have mobilized efforts to vote uncooperative board members out of office, replacing them with members who would share their desire to abolish race-sensitive admissions policies.” […] (more…)

[…] relatives of the accused men sat directly behind them in three rows. There were deep sighs, sobbing and muffled utterances of “liar” during the testimony. Some spectators were ejected by sheriff’s deputies.

DETROIT — Four men accused of punching and kicking a motorist who accidentally struck a 10-year-old Detroit boy were ordered Monday to stand trial on attempted murder charges, after a judge reviewed their statements to police and witnesses testified about the chaotic mob attack.

As Steve Utash continued to recover in a hospital bed, Judge Thomas Jackson found probable cause to move the case to trial in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Prosecutor Lisa Lindsey introduced statements to police from Latrez Cummings, 19, James Davis, 24, and Wonzey Saffold, 30, all acknowledging a role in the April 2 attack. They were ordered to trial, along with Bruce Wimbush Jr., 17, who waived the hearing.

Something optically devastating is looming on the Chicago skyline, and it looks remarkably like Detroit 2.0.

CNN has been running a network series “Chicago”.   They’ve been trying to frame an apologetic and sympathetic narrative around former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel.     They couldn’t have picked a worse time to try and sell the propaganda. 
In what can only be called ‘grandiose irony’,  facts on the ground run counter to the CNN narrative.   So much so, that Chicago is becoming a parody of itself.   The educational system is collapsing with unions entrenched in budgetary battles demanding more and more graft while students fail at astonishing rates.   Constructs of society are collapsing and crime, violent crime, is increasing exponentially;  spurred on by violent gang activity, and it’s spreading.   
Easter weekend 44 people shot, 8 dead, and no-one is brave enough to actually discuss the root cause.   The politically correct talking points don’t let you dare point out the fatherless wild thugs running amuck.   Families who do believe in the strength of a two parent household are fleeing the metropolis for safer life elsewhere.  
Chicago, the self described home of President Obama, where he never visits, is dangerously close to becoming a political liability; and if there’s one thing this White House excels at – it’s controlling political risk.    Chicago is another petri-dish for the dangerous consequences of Democrat social engineering to gain publicity.
Subsequently….   HERE COME The FEDS !!  Or more accurately, HERE COME THE STORM TROOPERS !!
CHICAGO – The federal government is offering help to the city of Chicago in the fight to end violence in the streets. The special section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office will target drugs and guns.

The ruling was 6-2 with only a Sotomayor splodey’….

Washington (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Michigan law banning the use of racial criteria in college admissions, a key decision in an unfolding legal and political battle nationally over affirmative action.

The justices found 6-2 that a lower court did not have the authority to set aside the measure approved in a 2006 referendum supported by 58% of voters.

It bars publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”

Justice Sonia Sotomayor reacted sharply in disagreeing with the decision. (more…)
