The latest controversy occurred on Fox News yesterday, when Malik Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, made this statement:
A black man really -- or a black leader -- cannot be a racist. You cannot take the slave who takes the whip from the slave master and begins beating the slave master -- you cannot call the slave a reverse racist.
White people have not experienced racism, Jim Crow, and terrorism the way my people have. I have the right to use different language.

This is part and parcel of the Newspeak definition of "racism" which can only refer to anti-black bigotry.
Also: anti-black or hispanic discrimination = bad
anti-white, indian, or oriental discrimination = good
Because, you know, South and East Asians value education and excel in business even though they are immigrant outsiders. There MUST be something unfair about that!
In Obamaland it's all about results now, not opportunity.

If Malik Shabazz's slave master whips Shabazz, then by all means, he has right to take it from him and whip back. Was not aware there are slave masters, I thought slavery was abolished 150 years ago.
Reverse racism? No such a thing. Racism plain and simple.

OK, if it makes you feel better, I'll concede your definition for the Eubonics-speakers.
What do you call it when blacks judge all whites by the color of their skin? Anti-white retribution? It's gotta have a name.

And by the way, Malik, my wife lost a job she'd been doing for two years to a person who had never done it before, but happened to have the preferred skin tone. Whaddaya call that?

1. Only white people can be racists.
2. All white people are racists.
#11
Look, the only way any rabble rouser in any culture at any point in history can be successful is to be perceived as infallable. Shabazz is no different, if not AAA league and unimaginative.
#13
So shabazz, as long as black thugs outside of voting places don't use whips, but just batons, its all peachy keen?
------
There are two kinds of racism: positive and negative. Negative racism is when a person is put down and oppressed because of their skin color. That is the kind of racism Shabazz talks about. Positive racism is when a person is held up, defended, buttered up, praised, and rewarded because of their skin color. Shabazz, and all liberals, deny this is racism because it isn't negative.
However, when it comes to Government goodies, positive racism (the supposed good kind) implies and generates negative racism (the bad kind), because the handing out of Government goodies is a zero-sum game due to the goodies being limited. Thus, to give a dollar to help a black man inevitably denies a dollar to help anyone else.
If you don't believe Positive racism does not lead to negative racism, see how they react to white kids being told the achievements of the white race, in those terms, as black kids are told the achievements of the black race. You'll find them screaming their objections pretty quickly.

Spike lee was saying this sort of thing back, oh, right before his movies started tanking in the box office and he was forced back into doing commercials.

I think its worth keeping in mind that Obama is trying (or says hes trying) to run a campaign that avoids precisely the kind of thing Spencer is talking about, and turning this into a gutter brawl would probably hurt the Obama brand pretty strongly. After all, why vote for him if it turns out hes not going change the way politics works?
I'd say the 'Obama brand' is just about shot to hell by now.
Hundreds of residents of one of the poorest municipalities in Los Angeles County shouted in protest last night as tensions rose over a report that the city's manager earns an annual salary of almost $800,000.
An overflow crowd packed a City Council meeting in Bell, a mostly Hispanic city of 38,000 about 10 miles (16 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles, to call for the resignation of Mayor Oscar Hernandez and other city officials. Residents left standing outside the chamber banged on the doors and shouted "fuera," or "get out" in Spanish.
It was the first council meeting since the Los Angeles Times reported July 15 that Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo earns $787,637 -- with annual 12 percent raises -- and that Bell pays its police chief $457,000, more than Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck makes in a city of 3.8 million people. Bell council members earn almost $100,000 for part-time work.

Whoa, that's poor even by central Pennsylvanian hillbilly standards. When I first saw this business about the 800k city manager, I assumed this Bell City place was some sort of expensive bedroom community, like a suburb in Orange County or Santa Barbara or something like that. If it's basically a barrio...
That's vile.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) reasserted his belief Tuesday that Democrats would maintain control of the House of Representatives this fall. The House's number two Democrat underscored his arguments with polling data to refute predictions by National Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) that the GOP would win control of the House.
Hoyer pointed to Democrats re-taking the lead in a "generic Congressional ballot" poll conducted by Gallup. Forty-nine percent of those surveyed said they would prefer a generic Democratic candidate win in November compared to 43 percent who preferred a Republican.
"That's a significant change," Hoyer said, who indicated Democrats were making inroads with invaluable independent voters.
Republicans have consistently led in this poll. The survey did not question likely voters, but only registered voters. Actually the survey was of 1535 adults (probably in New York City). In the meantime during the same time period Rasmussen surveyed 3500 likely voters and it came out +9 for the Trunks.
Hoyer also continued to pin much of the country's unrest on the Bush Administration.
"The American people get it. They know President Obama inherited a bad economy," the Maryland Democrat said.

I get too many poll calls - I got one just last weekend. I'm starting to think that the calling pool is getting shallow and strange. Too many people dropping their land-lines, too many people not answering pollster questions.

Nothing to worry about Steny. Nope, not a thing. Election will go great for the Democrats in November. No need to fret. Everything will be just fine. All is well. JUST KEEP BELIEVING THAT.
President Obama and his political aides privately acknowledge that the government's decision to sue Arizona over its new immigration law is helping to fuel an anti-immigration fervor that could benefit some Republicans in elections this fall. But don't tell anybody.
But White House officials have concluded that, over the long term, the Republicans' get-tough message is a major political miscalculation. They predict it will ultimately alienate millions of Latinos, the fastest-growing minority group in the nation. Are they confusing the legals with the illegals? Do they vote as one block?
West Wing strategists argue that the president's call for legislation that acknowledges the role of immigrants and goes beyond punishing undocumented workers will help cement a permanent political relationship between Democrats and Hispanics - much as civil rights and voting rights legislation did for the party and African Americans in the 1960s. Recognize the role? Of my forefathers, too? What else will there be in 2,000 pages?
As a result, although the president is unlikely to press for comprehensive immigration reform this year, he has urged his allies to keep up the pressure on Republican lawmakers. My numbers are already in the tank. You guys take a shot at it.
"Look: The Republicans, if you do the math, cannot be successful as a national party if they continue to alienate Latinos," said one Democratic strategist familiar with White House thinking on the issue. That's a pretty large if.
Another top Democrat who has advised the administration on immigration added: "If the Republicans continue on the same course that we have convinced ourselves they are on, the politics of immigration are potentially devastating to their party."

Republicans need to hammer home that those that mix the illegal immigrants in with legal immigrants are scoundrels trying to trick the people.
They should follow up with a proper guest worker program that guarantees work (and coverage under workplace laws) and a safe-round-trip. Clean up that mess and it becomes easier to point out the illegals and vilify those that wish to exploit them.

Ah, politics. Never mind the schools, whose performance in latino immgrant-heavy (50% of total public schools tudents) has gone in one generation from best in teh nation to 49th (above Mississippi--hooray for Californey!!).
Never mind the 90+ ERs that have closed in LA County in recent years.
Never mind the swelling-beyond-bursting prison population.
Never mind the ca. $2,000 in annual per-CA household social costs required to clean up the various messes created by this imported underclass.
Never mind-- it's all about how many votes for OurSide vs OtherSide! Yay OurSide! F*** OtherSide! Booyah!
Who the fuck do you want Hispanics immigrants to vote for? Work with this, I know it's damn difficult, but think, think hard. If the answer I'd rather them vote for Democrat too make sure Ima have my Pearl Schine then that's one out come. If you can consider allowing one or two percent of these cabbage choppers to identify with your memes and dreams that's another. I don't see jack shit for reaching out to the most striving part of current America, Messicans, Cong, it time for this shit to end. The Rethuglican party easily accomdated the expat Cuban and Viet communities. Also we need Fat Mexicans, for BBQ.
Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos on Monday lobbied that if one were to "set aside" the Fort Hood terror attack and the botched Christmas bombing, there haven't been successful attacks on America in the last few years.
Stephanopoulos was talking to William Arkin, the co-author of a new Washington Post investigation into the top secret agencies created in the wake of 9/11. The GMA host began by asserting, "I spoke with an administration official early this morning."
Putting a positive spin on Obama's first 18 months, he trumpeted, "And that if you set aside the Fort Hood bombing in Texas and the failed Christmas bomber, there has not been a major attack that's been anything close to successful on American soil."

"Good Morning America", eh? Is that network still alive? What are the audience trends for legacy network shows like this? Who, if anyone, still watches it?
Most Arizonans no longer think Barack Obama is doing a decent job as president.
A new Behavior Research Poll released Sunday shows that nearly four out of every 10 Arizonans now rate Obama's performance as poor or very poor. That's up 5 points from the same survey taken in January.
What's different is that the number of those who think he's doing an excellent or good job has plummeted.

Obama's approval is 28% and the talking heads would have me believe that Reid is pulling ahead in the polls? Reid is Obama's puppet. Or is he Nancy's? I just can't seem to keep this straight. Whatever. This triumvirate needs to lose a couple of legs.
President Barack Obama will headline a Chicago fundraiser on Aug. 5 for Democrat Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias, his campaign announced today.
The fundraiser announcement, which was confirmed by the White House, comes on the heels of the one-term state treasurer announcing that he is trailing Republican opponent Mark Kirk in fundraising by a significant margin.
"The President's visit will reinforce the importance of the clear choice Illinois voters face" between Giannoulias and Kirk, a veteran North Shore congressman, Giannoulias campaign manager Mike Rendina said in a statement. Giannoulias and Kirk are vying for the seat Obama held when he was elected president.

Maybe they could also get Sen. Martha Coakley, Gov. Jon Corzine and Gov. Creigh Deeds to come speak about how much good it does to have Obama support you.

New England vacations, golf, parties, fund raising for congressional candidates..... when does he find time to do the work of a president?

It's Chicago. President Obama's visit should raise unexpected amounts in donations for his pet dear friend from the president's own political sponsors. But what will happen to whatever isn't spent during the campaign, pray tell?

Actually not as looney as one might think as fuel is a critical component of the logistics train in Afghanistan. As long as it does not create a risk to the mission or the troops minimizing fuel use is actually a good thing.

Let's see. Tankers are getting blown up left and right as they work their way through hostile territory in Pakistan, and all that fuel burns up right on the spot with very little consideration for the environment.
Sorry, I forgot what the Looney Congress Critter's question was?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
