First the FAIL – TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —Florida’s Republican-controlled Legislature is coming out solidly against a special session to repeal the state’s “stand your ground” law.
The Department of State on Wednesday released a list that showed more than half of the state’s 160-member Legislature has already voted against the idea.
The vote was triggered earlier after 33 legislators asked for a special session in writing. They were urged to do so by the Dream Defenders group, which is upset with the July verdict in the George Zimmerman case.
Under an obscure state law, the written requests required an official poll. A yes vote by three-fifths of the Legislature would have resulted in a special session. (more)

Yet again – Where’s The Media ?
Applying their unidirectional race-based filter of course.
Houston Texas – Christmas Eve 2010 a 12-year-old boy named Jonathan Foster should have been preparing for presents and family. Instead, he was tied up with string, and slowly being burned alive by a blowtorch in the hands of Mona Nelson who had kidnapped him from his home hours earlier.
Her trial began this week.

Texas Chron – Prosecutors promised Wednesday they could show how, but not why, accused killer Mona Nelson callously ended the life of a 12-year-old boy after he disappeared on Christmas eve 2010. (more…)
Two weeks ago, drumming up attention toward her movie, Oprah Winfrey made the bizarre claim that millions of African Americans were lynched. Millions. The true figure is 4,743 with one in four being white (1882-1968).
Last week Oprah Winfrey claimed she encountered racism in Switzerland while shopping for $30,000+ purses. [<—we should all be $o unfortunate]
She made these claims while trying to draw attention to her soon-to-be-released movie “The Butler”; another race-based grievance movie.
The Swiss store, and the hapless victim/clerk she targeted with her accusations, denied the allegations. Oprah then tried walking back her accusation, well… sort of, but not really, because she’s Oprah, or something.
However, there appears to be a pattern here. (more…)

TALLAHASSEE — Trayvon Martin’s father has been named honorary captain of the FAMU football team after delivering an inspirational speech to the team Sunday. Florida A&M coach Earl Holmes said Tracy Martin, whose son’s shooting death in Sanford drew national attention, called him recently and the coach recently invited the grieving father to address his players.

“[We] talked and I told him I’d love him to talk to the team. He came out and he was very, very encouraging,” Holmes said of Tracy Martin. “ . . . [He] got a standing ovation from our guys. He talked about just persevering and told the guys to keep on pushing through the hard times. The message he shared with the kids was very positive and they were very responsive.” (more…)
Let’s talk about what’s really going on behind this politically driven move by Eric Holder.
Hip Hop Mogul Russell Simmons was in a recent spat with CNN’s Don Lemon where Simmons said:
# 1 enemy of black America has been the war on drugs #newjimcrow
— Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013
He is not saying that drugs are toxic to the fabric of the black community. He is not saying that a culture built around a drug lifestyle is damaging to the black community. No, he is saying the #1 problem for blacks in America is drug use being unlawful, and by consequence the criminal arrest for such use is the “enemy of blacks”. The enemy of blacks is the application of law.
Just let that settle in for a moment.
The #1 enemy of blacks in America is the enforcement of law.
So the future of/for blacks, as advocated by blacks, advances the proposition that such a future can or will improve, only if the enforcement of law is removed.

In his own essential words. The black community will be without enemy if,….. the black culture will succeed if,…… and the black community will advance if,….. they are allowed to use drugs without lawful consequence. (more…)
Welcome to our world Swiss Lady.
I’m shocked, shocked says I, that a racial provocateur like Winfrey would make such unfounded accusations. Um, well, maybe not. When the flame of a prog, any prog, begins to diminish – there is nothing out of bounds in their quest for more fuel. Their own self-important sense of magnanimity is the driving influence behind all protestations. The race-card is just one of the anchors they throw out to save themselves as they slip further down the slope of irrelevance.
(Via UK Daily Mail) The sales assistant who refused to show U.S. talkshow billionaire Oprah Winfrey a luxury handbag costing nearly £25,000 claims the superstar lied about what happened in the luxury Swiss boutique where she works.
Speaking anonymously to Sunday newspaper SonntagsBlick, the Italian bag lady said she felt ‘powerless’ and in the grip of a ‘cyclone’ after Winfrey went on TV in America to claim she had been the victim of racism.
Winfrey was in Switzerland in July when she walked into the Trois Pommes boutique in Zurich looking for a handbag to match the outfit she was going to wear to old friend Tina Turner’s wedding.
She claims the sales assistant refused to show her the black crocodile leather bag because – seeing a black woman – she automatically assumed she would not be able to afford it. (more…)
