“We are negotiating with him about giving more moneys to African American students at UCLA, and so we are in preliminary discussions,” Jenkins said.

(Los Angeles)  The NAACP said today they are still willing to work with Los Angeles Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling despite yanking an offer of a lifetime achievement award over an audio tape containing racist comments that Sterling allegedly made.

At a news conference today, NAACP Los Angeles president Leon Jenkins said that an audio recording that surfaced this weekend on TMZ, which purportedly had Sterling’s voice recorded making racist comments, was “devastating.”
But the organization would be open to talking to Sterling, with whom they’ve worked for nearly 20 years. (more…)

There’s always a particular ONE WAY conversational aspect that rises up whenever the issue of racism reaches the mainstream news media; and it screams hypocrisy.   Enter the latest foray – racist owner of the LA Clippers, Donald Sterling.
About two months ago Spike Lee said “white people need to leave Harlem” as he went on a diatribe decrying how “white folk” have moved in to his old neighborhood.   According to Lee “with white gentrification comes disruption“, but apparently that’s ok – it must not be racism because he’s able now to protest a white Donald Sterling for expressing a similar racial sentiment:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

UTAH –  After losing to Rep. Jim Matheson in 2012 by a razor-thin margin, Republican Mia Love will get another shot at going to Congress, this time taking on Doug Owens, the son of a former congressman.
Love, who gained national prominence in her first campaign, clinched the party’s nomination by securing more than 78 percent of the vote Saturday from Republican delegates in the 4th Congressional District against opponent Bob Fuehr.
Love said she met with more delegates during the past five weeks than the nearly 850 who actually showed up from her district to vote at the state GOP convention at South Towne Expo Center.
“I am honored to have their support. They really make this process awesome for me. This is my favorite part,” she said. “Going on from here, we are going to work hard. We are not going to take anything for granted. I am going to go out and earn every vote and really amplify Utah’s voice.”   (read more)

Love emerged from a crowded field to capture the Republican nomination two years ago. Then, in a hard-fought contest with millions of dollars of national money pouring in on both sides, she lost to Matheson by 768 votes out of nearly a quarter of a million ballots cast. (more…)

The parallel between Eric Holder doing this and Alberto Carvalho’s program in Miami-Dade schools with the use of the MDSPD is IDENTICAL.

(Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department on Monday said it will begin collecting data on stops, searches and arrests made in five U.S. cities to weed out possible racial biases within the criminal justice system.
Later this year, a $4.75 million federal grant will be awarded to recipients who compete for the funds to work with their local law enforcement to analyze arrest data and find ways to reduce any biases they find, particularly toward young minority men.
Black men were six times more likely, and Latino men were 2.5 times more likely, to be imprisoned than white men in 2012, according to Justice Department data. (more…)

TMZ Posts a video interview with Al Sharpton taken at La Guardia airport, along with this article.   However, what I want to bring to your attention is the TMZ use of quotes that do not exist.

According to the article (screen grab above) this is what TMZ quote Al Sharpton as having said:

“No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language.”

“We are prepared at National Action Network to rally in front of the NBA headquarters if this matter is not immediately dealt with.”

However, I no longer take quotes or even transcribes as accurate – because I’ve noted a trend of manipulation, especially with the Bundy story.     So I watched the interview, and have transcribed every word from Sharpton.     TMZ’s Al Sharpton interview is transcribed below so  you can look for those exact quotations, and you’ll note they do not exist.    (more…)

A little more than a week after the mysterious Malaysian Flight MH370 disappearance, and the day after a report that Boeing had signal confirmation of their engines being located in Pakistan, a CIA analyst walked into the offices of the New York Times to present satellite pictures of a fake Iranian aircraft carrier. 
It seemed rather odd considering there was really no value in the story beyond exposing our spy intelligence in the region.    However, against the backdrop of the missing MH-370, and considering the images came from the CIA via DigitalGlobe -the same satellite company doing the MH-370 search- some speculated it may have been a message to regional players that we have the ability to see more than they may think we have the ability to see.   *nudge, nudge – wink, wink*
Well today:  
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — An Iranian newspaper is reporting that the country’s military plans to target a mock-up American aircraft carrier during upcoming war games. (more…)
