NFL - Race an issue
I really do not understand this. Why do people have to be racially motivated to stir up trouble. In an article on ESPN by Michael Smith, he says…
“And so the NFL’s diversity record remains six African-American coaches out of 32. A disappointing loss and an opportunity lost, for sure. But as can be the case with blowouts, minority coaches’ going one-for-nine (and counting) isn’t as bad as it looks.” Link - Race an issue, but networking is still the key
Why is this even a statement? If he checked the population records he would find that the African Amercian population stands [...]
Rev. Amos Brown: Proposition 8 Causing Rift in NAACP
On Friday night, the San Francisco Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a fundraiser that approximately 450 people attended. The main purpose of the occasion was to celebrate the election of Barack Obama, the first African American president. However, many African Americans refused to attend the event to protest the San Francisco NAACP’s support of same-sex marriage. NAACP San Francisco NAACP’s president Reverend Amos Brown, as reported by San Franci

Palo Alto police chief resigns - for fighting crime!
Palo Alto police chief resigns - for fighting crime! Category: Blacks, Crime, Diversity Is Our Greatest Strength, Equality, Racism Schmacism Lynne Johnson, who has 33 years on the Palo Alto, California police department, is retiring five years after becoming the city’s first female Chief of Police. She’s quitting after a three week long uproar over her “racism”, etc. In other words, the uproar was because she wanted to fight crime. Palo Alto is 2 percent black. But after a rash of 17 robber
I see it all through my window, it seems
Yes, I did know that a Secretary of the Treasury had already been named before I posted the article about Larry Summers, but leaving aside the fact that Tim Geithner's isn't a name I associate with anything other than Larry Summers, and given that there's still no law preventing Larry Summers from being placed somewhere else in Obama's administration, I didn't think this was something it was safe to forget about. A timely resignation: " Palo Alto Police Chief Lynne Johnson announced her retireme
Whatever it Takes
So Finley’s been waiting patiently for me to pull my head out of my ass and realize that people come to my blog only to see pictures of him. Especially after his trip to the groomer. He’s also been questioning the whole protest thing in regards to our civil rights, and that maybe the time for those have passed. After all, going to a protest means leaving him home alone, which he doesn’t think makes a whole lot of sense, for the world can’t admire him if he’s left at home. And the one time I
U.S. Muslims denounce al-Qaida insult
U.S. Muslim leaders say racially charged statements issued by al-Qaida against U.S. President-elect Barack Obama are “an insult.” Spiritual leaders of New York City’s black Muslim community have denounced an anti-Obama diatribe issued by al-Qaida second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri, in which he said Obama fit the late Malcolm X’s definition of a “house Negro,” CNN reported Saturday. “We find it insulting when anyone speaks for our community instead of giving us the dignity and the honor of sp
NBRA Calls on Barack Obama to Apologize
The National Black Republican Association has called on Barack Obama to apologize for years of systemic racism–in the Democratic Party: We, black American citizens of the United States and the National Black Republican Association, declare and assert: WHEREAS, the healing of wounds begins with an apology, and the Democratic Party has never apologized for their horrific atrocities and racist practices against black Americans during the past 150 years, nor held accountable for the residual imp
Blacks and Women and the Obama Cabinet?
AAPP says: It is wonderful that the Obama Family will be in the White House in just a few more weeks. I'm still glad I voted for him. Now the question is how many blacks, women, latinos, Native Americans, openly Gay and lesbians, and other minorities will be working for our President in the White House? In 1992, Bill Clinton famously promised to appoint a Cabinet that “looks like me America.” He followed through, tapping women and minorities for high-ranking positions and overseeing an adm
Blacks and the GOP: It’s My Party, But I Don’t Feel Part of It
Sophia A. Nelson, Washington Post - Election night was a bittersweet night for me. Like most Americans, and especially as an African American, I found it deeply moving to watch President-elect Barack Obama and his family — soon to be our nation’s first African American first family — stride onstage for his victory speech. I welcome the positive role models they’ll present to black families and the American public at large. But as a black Republican, I was chagrined that the political party I’
Blacks and Women and the Obama Cabinet?
In 1992, Bill Clinton famously promised to appoint a Cabinet that “looks like me America.” He followed through, tapping women and minorities for high-ranking positions and overseeing an administration more diverse than any that had come before it. More HERE Barack Obama will nominate individuals to become Secreatary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secret
Premature honorifics?
By TigerHawk at 11/22/2008 11:08:00 AM On the one hand, it seems a bit early for this. On the other hand, I have a hard time mustering up the usual indignation. At the great risk of irritating just about everybody, I have very much enjoyed seeing the palpable happiness in the African-Americans who I know or have encountered in the last two weeks.
The Obama ‘Landslide’ Impact
By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS - In late 1998 I asked L. Keith Bulen what he thought about President Clinton and he responded, “Best candidate I’ve ever thought, heard or dreamed of.” As you read the data and impressions emanating last Monday from the Bulen Symposium on American Politics as well as some of our own, ponder what the legendary Republican operative might have thought about Barack Obama. The last time a Democrat carried Indiana was 1964 and it was that LBJ blowout of Barry Goldwat
Video: Rev. Al Flip Flops On Use of the Term ‘House Negro’
This was Rev. Al’s response to the following question: “Rev. Al Sharpton, Do you believe that political leaders such as Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell are viewed as “house negroes” by other African Americans, by going along with the President against their beliefs?” This is Rev. Al’s response to Al-Qaeda calling Barack Obama a “house negro”: Spotted on Gateway Pundit
‘Proud to be an American… Finally’?
I really hated Jimmy Carter. I felt Bill Clinton was a disgrace as a man much less a president even though his administration wasn’t half as bad as Carter’s, admittedly. Historically, FDR proved to be a president that introduced more anti-American ideas into our political system than any other. As to the future, Obama could be a humongous disaster for this country. But through all of those horrible leaders of American history, I was still — am still — proud to be an American. I have always been
Black Republicans Petition Hussein Obama For An Apology
If only one black Obama supporter reads this and learns a little about the racism of the democrat party, then I’ve accomplished my mission and can take the rest of the day off. OBAMA, CAN YOU SPARE BLACKS A PROCLAMATION? The National Black Republican Association has issued a petition to Barack Hussein Obama, the leader of the Democratic Party, requesting that Obama issue a formal proclamation of apology for the Democratic Party’s 150-year history of racism. We recognize that this is likel
CAIR Finds its Voice
Where has CAIR been, held hostage by Somali pirates? Detained in bondage to Saudi slaveholders? Drafted as child soldiers in Sudan? Trapped in a tunnel in Gaza? Hiding in a Hezbollah bunker in southern Lebanon? Lost in the mountains of Waziristan? Imprisoned on Iran’s death row? Where is CAIR’s voice every time Jews are referred to as the descendants of apes and pigs? Al Qaeda “and its like” are nothing but small-minded racists, and always have been. Spiritual leaders of New York’s Afr

U.S. Muslim Leaders Denounce Al Qaeda Slur Toward Obama
Spiritual leaders of New York’s African-American Muslim communities lashed out at extremist terrorist organization Al Qaeda on Friday after the organization had released a tape on which the group’s number two can be heard using racial slurs against president-elect Barack Obama. In the tape, Ayman al-Zawahiri calls Obama a “house negro.” The American imams called the recorded comments ”an insult” from people who have “historically been disconnected from the African-American community general
Glenn Beck Gets Something Right
I don't agree very often with any of the people who host and contribute to FOX News, but that's not because of any hard and fast rule; it's just because of the things they say. Usually they feed you one lie wrapped in another, smothered by a third. But every now and then they accidentally allow a little bit of truth to slip into the mix, and that's when they get interesting. One interesting bit of accidental truth-telling was occasioned by Wednesday's release of yet another "al Qaeda" video,
