Last week we brought to your interest an article from Philadelphia Magazine titled: “Being White In Philly“.   Essentially the article highlights how race is tenuously handled in the city of ‘Brotherly Love’.

The fear of racism, or being considered a racist, was outlined in the magazine by showing how non-blacks pander to blacks out of an overbearing concern for political correctness.  Examples were cited from individual interviews with non-blacks who attest to their intentional over consideration for black persons in daily interactions.

One such story:

Dennis, 26, teaches math in a Kensington school. His first year there, fresh out of college, one of his students, an unruly eighth grader, got into a fight with a girl. Dennis told him to stop, he got into Dennis’s face, and in the heat of the moment Dennis called the student, an African-American, “boy.”

The student went home and told his stepfather. The stepfather demanded a meeting with the principal and Dennis, and accused Dennis of being racist; the principal defended his teacher. Dennis apologized, knowing how loaded the term “boy” was and regretting that he’d used it, though he was thinking, Why would I be teaching in an inner-city school if I’m a racist?

The stepfather calmed down, and that would have been the end of it, except for one thing: The student’s behavior got worse. Because now he knew that no one at the school could do anything, no matter how badly he behaved.  (link)

This, and all of the accompanying insightful examples highlight fear on behalf of the non-blacks to confront the truth – the reality of race-based behavioral accepting. (more…)

CHICAGO – A 9-year-old boy arrested and charged with armed robbery at a McDonald’s last month was one of four people arrested Thursday night in connection with a carjacking.

Police said charges were denied against the 9-year-old, who was arrested for breaking out the window of a business in January in addition to the armed robbery last month. The 9-year-old was released into the custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, police said.

He was in the car with two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-olds Thursday night, when the four were arrested in a carjacking that began about 9:30 p.m. in the 11000 block of Avenue D in the East Side neighborhood on the Southeast Side, police said. (more…)

New York City, Flatbush, finds itself in the epicenter of another young black male shooting incident turned opportunistic grievance statistic.  The storyline is a 16-year-old kid, Kimani “KiKi” Gray, was shot seven times and killed by police officers after he turned toward them wielding a loaded .38 caliber handgun.

A few days before, and a few more miles away in Chicago, a 6-MONTH-old girl, Jonylah Watkins, was shot six times (one for every month of her life) and killed by gangland style thugs as they attempted to murder her father.

In Chicago six bullets killed the baby girl.  In New York, seven bullets killed Ki Ki.

Chicago moves on, another day – another innocent.   500+ last year alone.

New York City erupts with protests, violence, broken bottles, looters, all supported by accusations of racism and random police violence against black males. (more…)

Seriously, what gives with these guys.   A demand for smaller government = racial overtones?   Support for the 10th amendment = racism?

.@JessieMarkell MLK's entire strategy was get feds 2 intervene. States & biz had discriminated 4centuries. Rand argument today= KKK's then.

Must Watch Prog Splodey Head Video:

[via WeaselZippers] In one corner we have Ted Cruz, a brilliant Harvard educated Constitutional lawyer who has authored more than 80 Supreme Court briefs and presented more than 40 oral arguments, including nine before the Supreme Court itself, he also served as law clerk for Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. In the other we have Dianne Feinstein, who has been in the Senate for decades and could fit her knowledge of the Constitution on the tip of a pin.

At this point it may be important to remember Senator Feinstein recently used a written prepared statement to claim it is “legal to hunt humans“. Listening to her response to Ted Cruz reminded me of another Democrat From California Senatorial retort: (more…)

Just watch it….

Guest Post – Collaboratively Assembled

The Zimmerman family comes from a Southern U.S. experience and traditional South American Catholic heritage.

Within each there’s a heavy heritage about rules, and how you “get along with folks”, both constructs are essentially emotionally conservative, perhaps to a fault.

Visible responses when framed as ‘public displays’ which can be construed as ‘violations’ of the laws governing “how to be a nice person” are so strong, they actually can over-rule the basic instinct for self-preservation.

Standing back and looking objectively toward the Zimmerman clan, the instinct for self-preservation (in the context of community) is what seems to be crippled; And “community” for them is — the other nice people.    So if all the nice people stick together and continue being nice, everything will be ok.

As long as everyone in the community is nice, that works. (more…)

A massive amount of division lays at the heart of many George Zimmerman supporters regarding his legal counsel Mark O’Mara.    In an effort to heal the infection – here is why it matters, and what it infers moving forward.

Personally, I am not a fan of Mark O’Mara – simply because I do not trust, nor am I willing to excuse, those who have shown a history of untrustworthy behavior.   However, I will try to disassociate myself from opinion and reflect upon the integrity issues within, because, quite frankly, George has NO option(s) – For better or worse, he’s stuck with him.

History –  Mark O’Mara ideologically, like his friend and CNN contributor Mark NaJame, is more in alignment with the people who are prosecuting George Zimmerman than the people who support him.   Mark O’Mara’s central outlook toward life is “progressive”, and he infers that sentiment into his approach.   This ideology and familiarity is why Mark NaJame’s firm recommended O’Mara.

In short, he’s a legally left-leaning Democrat; and his views on gun ownership, stand-your-ground laws and trial lawyers, are counterintuitive to the position of the client he represents.

Most professionals would argue that attorneys are capable of separating their individual biases when advocating for clients positions.   This is generally true;  However in the case of Mark O’Mara he has specifically framed George Zimmerman’s positions on the case as if he is distancing himself from his client.   Intellectually honest persons would agree with this overall impression that O’Mara exudes.
