Michael Jordan speaks Out On Police, Race Relations, Donates $2 Mllion To Causes

July 27, 2016 Donates $2 Mllion To Causes , Michael Jordan speaks Out On Police 0 Comments

By CBS News July 25, 2016

The NBA great and Charlotte Hornets owner said Monday he is giving $1 million to the Institute for Community-Police Relations and $1 million to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The aim is to help build trust following several shootings around the country.

"As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers," Jordan said in a statement released on The Undefeated website. "I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well."

Obama: Right-Wing Media Give Distorted View of Economy, Race Relations

June 03, 2016 Obama: Right-Wing Media Give Distorted View of Economy , Race Relations 0 Comments


By News Max, June 01, 2016 

Conservative media is giving Americans an incorrect view of the economy and racial divisions, President Barack Obama argued during a speech Wednesday in Elkhart, Indiana.

"America's economy is not just better than it was eight years ago. It is the strongest, most durable economy in the world," Obama said.

As he approaches his final months in office, Obama told the crowd he is concerned about the current direction of politics.

Black Activists Fear ‘Race War’ Amid Charleston Shooting

By S.A. Miller, June 18, 2015,  The Washington Times 

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Black community activists raised alarms Thursday about the mass murder at the historic black church potentially sparking race riots in Charleston, South Carolina.

“We don’t need any more bloodshed and we don’t need a race war,” pleaded J. Denise Cromwell, a black community activists. “Charleston has a lot of racial tension. … We’re drowning and someone is pouring water over us.”

Ms. Cromwell said that nerves were still raw from the fatal shooting two months ago of a black man, Walter Scott, by a white police officer in neighboring North Charleston, which ignited major protests.

Claims Husband Made Her!

Rachel Dolezal Was In A SEX TAPE 

By Ben Ashford, Jun. 17, 2015, Daily Mail
Rachel Dolezal once accused her ex-husband of forcing her to take part in a homemade sex tape, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

Dolezal, 37, admitted participating in 'sexual acts' on camera with Kevin Moore, who has been pictured in public for the first time since their wedding photo appeared.

However, Dolezal - a serial litigant who resigned her post as leader of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP Monday - insisted she took part in the video against her will.

The lurid claim was one of a raft of damaging accusations she leveled at Moore, 37, in a bid to deny him access to their young son Franklin. Moore denied the allegations.

Montana-born Dolezal married the African American physical therapist in March 2000 but their marriage ended five years later in a bitter court battle.

Race faker Rachel demanded a divorce, claiming in court documents seen by DailyMail.com that she suffered 'years' of 'physical, emotional, sexual and verbal abuse' at his hands. Moore has denied her claims.

But, but, but what about all the RACISM!!!

Asians, Blacks and Latinos Mixing Up White Areas

By Matt Vasilogambros, Jun. 12, 2015, National Journal

Segregation is nowhere close to being over, but neighborhoods across the country are steadily integrating.

A snapshot by the Brookings Institution—using 2010 Census data—shows that Latinos, blacks, and Asians are starting to move more to multiracial or white-dominated neighborhoods. Among those three racial groups, the average person lives in a neighborhood that is at least one-third white. Asians, however, live in neighborhoods that are comprised nearly half of white people.

A look at where the average white person lives tells a much different story on the surface, as he or she likely lives in a neighborhood that is 77 percent white. But, as Brookings points out, there is more to tell here. While these neighborhoods are just 9 percent Latino and 7 percent black on average, those numbers are larger today than they were three decades ago. In 1980, the average white person lived in a neighborhood that was 90 percent white.

Neighborhoods are becoming less homogenous. As Latino and Asian migration expands to previously white-dominated areas—and blacks continue to move toward the suburbs and integrated communities—the culture of these neighborhoods will change with the shift, notes Brookings.

Ann Coulter on Immigration: HEY, LOOK! A COP YELLING AT A BLACK GIRL IN A BIKINI!

By Ann Coulter, Jun. 10, 2015, AnnCoulter.com

I'm impressed by the coolness and steadiness of our media in suppressing any news about immigration. It's as if they've built a triple-layer fence with border guards around immigration topics. And guess what? Their fence is working!

How many thousands of news stories have there been on Ferguson, ISIS, Chris Christie's "Bridgegate" or men becoming women?

But the media will never tell you about Mexicans gang-raping a lesbian in Richmond, California, an Indian immigrant in San Francisco importing 12-year-old girls he bought from their parents for sex, or three children being beheaded by Mexicans in Baltimore.

Don't Americans have a right to know about the cultures flooding into our country?

This isn't a natural transformation. It is purely the result of government policy. But our media don't care to discuss the issue. In fact, they get mad whenever Americans find out what they're doing with immigration.

When Americans do think about immigration, they're against it. In polls earlier this year, more Americans had a favorable opinion of North Korea than wanted to increase immigration. That's why the media's approach to immigration is to never talk about it.

'Focus' Movie Unintentionally Brings U.S. Race Relations Into Focus

By Inquisitr.com, Feb. 28, 2015

The Twittersphere and YouTube are ablaze over Will Smith’s new movie, Focus. In it, Will Smith plays Nicky Spurgeon, a con man who takes Jess, played by Australian actress Margot Robbie, under his wing to teach her the game. Focus is a caper film, a la Ocean’s Eleven, set in glamorous locales from New York to New Orleans. Normally, this sort of film would be a good time for all, but a spate of racist remarks on YouTube are spoiling the fun.

Apparently, a number of people are upset that Focus’ leading man, Will Smith, who is African-American, has a couple of love scenes with Margo Robbie, who is white. The comments range from relatively mild to downright hateful. One commenter, Denise Celt, wrote her thoughts.

“Race mixing is literally sick. Gene incompatibility creates a host of physical and mental problems. Jews love to promote sickness and evil.”

Lawsuit Raises Questions About Race Relations In The San Diego Police Department

Maureen Cavanaugh, Patty Lane, and Peggy Pico, Jan. 26, 2015, KPBS

The cartoon is a racist depiction of San Diego's first black police officer, Patrolman Frank McCarter. The lawsuit claims that when Sgt. Arthur Scott, vice-president of the San Diego Black Police Officer's Association, complained about the use of the image, the department retaliated by transferring him out of the Southeastern Division.

Poll: New Yorkers Say City Race Relations Have Taken Nosedive
Jennifer Fermino, Jan. 16, 2015, New York Daily News

The number of New Yorkers who described race relations as “good” was 46%, the lowest number in four polls over the past five months and 13 points lower than a Nov. 18 poll.

At the same time, the number who describe race relations as “bad” has climbed to 45%, a 14 point increase from November.

The turmoil hasn’t hurt Mayor de Blasio’s approval ratings, which climbed two points from the last Quinnipiac poll in December.

Al Sharpton Links ‘Appalling’ Lack Of Oscar Diversity To Ferguson

By Matt Wilstein, Jan. 15, 2015

In response to the whitest Oscar nominations in 17 years, Al Sharpton has issued a statement expressing his disappointment in the nominations and calling for a meeting to address the lack of diversity in Hollywood.

“The lack of diversity in today’s Oscar nominations is appalling, and while it is good that Selma was nominated for ‘Best Picture,’ it’s ironic that they nominated a story about the racial shutout around voting while there is a racial shutout around the Oscar nominations,” Sharpton said in a statement. “With all of the talent in Selma and other Black movies this year, it is hard to believe that we have less diversity in the nominations today than in recent history.”

Repeating a line he delivered to a TMZ reporter last month, Sharpton added, “The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets.”

Sharpton also said he has called an “emergency meeting” with his task force in Hollywood early next week “to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards.”

There's Still Time For Obama To Help Bring Better Race Relations

Richard Greene, Jan. 2, 2015, Star-Telegram

Two polls from last month reveal a troubling picture. Bloomberg found 53 percent of Americans saying the interactions between the white and black communities have deteriorated since Obama took office.

The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found just four in 10 Americans believe race relations are “good,” while 57 percent disagreed and nearly a quarter classified the current state of racial issues as “very bad.”

Intermarriage: A Real Measure Of Race Relations

Naomi Schaefer Reilly, Dec. 29, 2014, New York Post

Our liberal elites have plainly decided it’s better if we’re all convinced that our country had made no progress on race since 1960, that lying just beneath the surface of every white person is a gurgling volcano of racial epithets ready to spew forth at the slightest provocation.

The current trend toward chronicling “microaggressions” (bits of racism so small you might not even see them as racism) is, if anything, evidence of the lack of a problem

Chris Rock Tells White People To Own The Actions Of Their Ancestors

Jessica Chasmar, Dec. 1, 2014, Washington Times

The black comedian told New York magazine’s Frank Rich that racial progress in America is “nonsense” and that the only thing that’s changed is white people aren’t as crazy as they used to be.

“Owning their actions. Not even their actions. The actions of your dad,” Mr. Rock said. “Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do, but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for.”

Who Needs To Check Their Privilege? --note the Elder book reference

May 31, 2014 Jerry Novick , Knockout Game 0 Comments
By Jerry Novick, May 30, 2014, Thewriteamerica.com

I’ve been called all sorts of names. Being White, I’ve been called a Cracker, Honky, and Whitey, and had my life threatened to my face by individuals of various non-white races. I’ve had Kike and Hymie hurled at me, and told I was a greedy bastard based solely on my Jewish heritage. And as a Christian, I’ve been called a Jesus-Freak, a Bible-Thumper, and several horrible things I won’t lower myself to repeat.

My wife and her family have been called Spicks and wet-backs – even though they are from Brazil – not Mexico – and they are here legally as naturalized citizens! And my son – who is as Western European looking as they come – has been labeled a WASP, which I suppose is true, but I don’t think it was meant in a nice way.

And now, because of the color of my skin, I’ve been called privileged! Well, I do suppose I’ve had some privileges… My father busted his butt to put a roof over my head and food on the table – I certainly didn’t work for that, except through the chores that I did as part of my family responsibility. His efforts did yield us new clothes, some toys, and the occasional vacation. And my children have certainly been privileged as my wife and I bust our butts to provide a good life for them.

But I don’t think I’m being called “privileged” as a compliment to my parents’ efforts. No, I’m pretty sure people are saying that I have things that have not been earned, and all because of the color of my skin.

Allow me to correct that falsehood with a clear “Bulls**t!” I have never been given anything I didn’t earn (except for my salvation through Jesus Christ, given freely by His sacrifice and accepted purely as a gift). And I have often been given less than I deserved for my efforts.

But allow me to also put a historical “Bulls**t” into play.

Larry Elder is just one of many Blacks who have succeeded by thinking with their heads instead of their skin.

You see, Blacks in America say they are downtrodden and discriminated against because of the color of their skin… Because people of their race were once slaves here in America.

Well, let me drop some knowledge on you: every race has been enslaved at some point in history. And every race has owned slaves at some time since the beginning of time too.

Whites, Blacks, Hispanics Asians, Europeans, Romans, Greeks, Hebrews, American Indians…

Every single one.

And every religion too.

Christians, Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, Hindi, Atheists, Wiccans…

Nobody has a single claim on being a victim. And nobody has a single claim on being an abuser. Oppression is not the purview of any one race.

Why Pharrell Believes In 'The New Black' --Doesn't see himself as a victicrat.

May 16, 2014 Oprah Winfrey , Pharrell Williams 0 Comments
Pharrell Williams
By Priya Elan, Apr. 22, 2014, Theguardian.com

As if to confirm that he has reached an otherworldly level of fame, Pharrell Williams has aligned himself with an entirely new race of human being. The ubiquitous star spoke to Oprah last week, blubbed while watching fan videos of Happy but, most curiously, defined himself as The New Black. "The New Black doesn't blame other races for our issues," said Pharrell, one of the world's most successful musicians, to Oprah, billionaire queen of the world. "The New Black dreams and realises that it's not pigmentation: it's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you. And you've got to pick the side you're going to be on." It's a comment that not only suggests he has a library full of Deepak Chopra books under that hat, but that also highlights how daft it is when a millionaire attempts to speak for an entire race.

In response, writer and blogger Feminista Jones created the Twitter hashtag #whatkindofblackareyou?. Via email, Jones says that while it's admirable to believe that black people can now transcend race, Pharrell's comments are ultimately a "slap in the face" to people who do not fit in with his narrow ideas.
