The Bigotry Of Low Expectations

It’s one thing to hear  pundits say you are racist for expecting quality performance from a black president, it’s quite another thing for the President to say it….

(Via Bloomberg)  President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorkermagazine’s website today.

“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition.

“Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he’s been in office.

New York is so far beyond screwed the light coming from where screwed people live won’t reach New Yorkers for 4 years…..

NEW YORK –  Mayor de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, wants her own office inside City Hall — and to play a hands-on, policy-setting role in her husband’s administration, sources told The Post.

Officials have been scouting space for New York City’s new first lady, who described herself as a “sounding board and partner” to her husband during his campaign and transition to mayor, a source said.

And the administration has been working on a portfolio of issues for McCray to tackle, ­another source said.

McCray would also like a staff — and her top pick to head it up is Rachel Noerdlinger, a longtime spokeswoman and confidant for the Rev. Al Sharpton, NY1 reported Friday. (read more)

Sometimes people ask us ‘why are you willing to confront the third rail issues’?  I think Allen West has just provided the best explanation of ‘why’.

Allen West – “racial protectionism” – When the concept of doing a website was presented to me, initially I scoffed thinking there wouldn’t be enough critical material daily to comment on — boy was I wrong. Every day I am amazed at the insanity I witness in our America and here is another example.

According to a report in The Hill, Attorney General Eric Holder is at it again with his racial preference policies,

Attorney General Eric Holder called upon the nation’s school districts Wednesday to rethink “zero tolerance” disciplinary policies that he said disproportionately punish minorities and push too many students into the justice system. Alarming numbers of young people are suspended, expelled or even arrested for relatively minor transgressions like school uniform violations, schoolyard fights or showing ‘disrespect’ by laughing in class,” Holder said during a speech in Baltimore.

What did his remarks really mean? They accompanied the release of new federal guidance from the departments of Justice and Education encouraging (i.e. threatening) schools to adopt disciplinary policies that are “fair, nondiscriminatory, and effective.” The guidance offers parameters for punishment as governed by federal civil rights protections, alternatives to exclusionary discipline and a comprehensive list of regulations on the books in every state.

More interesting disturbing than the actual criminality aspect, is the statement from the Second Chance School Director, Jamie Quinn.   What exactly is he saying here, or more importantly, perhaps, what’s he not saying?…..

ROCK HILL    Two teenagers wanted for murder walked into the lobby of the Rock Hill Police Department Monday morning and turned themselves in, police say.

Dontavion Qua’mek White, 17, and Maurice Lamont Burris, 16, are charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime and possession of a firearm while under the age of 18, police said.

Burris, a juvenile under state law, will be tried as an adult because of the severity of the allegations.

[…]  Both White and Burris attend the Renaissance Academy in Rock Hill, an alternative school for students that gives them a second chance if they’ve lost other educational opportunities. White (17) is a 10th-grader; Burris (16) is a ninth-grader. (more…)

In the excerpt below you see exactly why political progs, like Jake Tapper, don’t understand the military and disrespect the soldier.

Tappers’ inherent issue is with the command decision – the politics and subsequent political arguments of war. But in typical prog fashion, reflecting a profound disrespect for the military members who carry out orders, he questions the tip of the spear for the decision of the spear thrower.

“Disparate Impact” is the actual EEO policy which outlines EEO Law.   The policy creates a  factual reality that it is unlawful NOT to hire illegal aliens.    Employers can be, and are, criminally and civilly liable if they do not hire illegal aliens – I know this from first hand experience.

“Disparate Impact” is also the same federal EEO policy now being extended toward school punishment for anti-social behavior, unlawful conduct, and rule breaking. 

WASHINGTON DC – Education experts decried a new memo from the Departments of Justice and Education that instructs public schools throughout the country to cease punishing disruptive students if they fall into certain racial categories, such as black or Hispanic.

The letter, released on Wednesday, states that it is a violation of federal law for schools to punish certain races more than others, even if those punishments stem from completely neutral rules. For example, equal numbers of black students and white students should be punished for tardiness, even if black students are more often tardy than white students.

Here is the relevant section of the letter:

“Schools also violate Federal law when they evenhandedly implement facially neutral policies and practices that, although not adopted with the intent to discriminate, nonetheless have an unjustified effect of discriminating against students on the basis of race.

We knew early last week this was going to be a divisive discussion because the inherent reality is stark and uncomfortable.

From what can be gathered from follow-up media reports the “mother” was 14 when the child was born (she is now 16).  The toddler was once injured with shrapnel during a drive by shooting, as the mother was also shot in the stomach. The child’s father was killed by a rival gang at the age of 17.

Child protective services, has been involved on more than one occasion with this family, and as a result of this video, and subsequent investigation, removed four children from the home. Trayvon Martin family attorney, Natalie Jackson, blames the police. This exchange with CNN’s Don Lemon is worth watching:

Update details at bottom –  Facing increased scrutiny the Charlottesville Virginia Police apologize for not investigating and dragging their feet for over three weeks.  

Why the reversal?…. 

….Because facing increasing pressure from social media discoveries, the two thugs, Richard Bernard Spears and Malcom James Stevenson, walk into a police station and turn themselves in.   The police didn’t really have a choice after that happened. (more…)
