Everyone but Jim Webb Says Black Lives Matter
Daily Beast ^

Posted on 10/14/2015 6:14:24 AM PDT by MNDude

“Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter? Let’s put that question to Senator Sanders,” a bespectacled Anderson Cooper asked.

“Black lives matter,” Sanders responded to uproarious cheers.

When it came time for former senator Jim Webb to follow his Democrats on the Black Lives Matter movement, he simply would not.

“As a president of the United States, every life in this country matters,” he said in his bullish deep tones.

Actually, if you only listened to the debate on radio then Webb really came off well. But in person he was VERY wooden and uncomfortable. It didn’t help that he was clearly being treated as a token candidate, there only to fill out the table.

Among the democrat candidates only Jim Webb thinks not only black lives matter.

Will someone please explain why it is that with the carnage in Black communities each weekend, the ONLY Black lives that appear to matter are those killed or wounded by a WHITE TRIGGER FINGER?
The casualty count is indicative of a military operation, and there is no cry of outrage.
If a single unfortunate Black person is shot and killed by a WHITE (anyone) the country explodes, and cities burn.
Something is way out of balance here.

Talk radio this morning opinion is that Webb does not belong in the current Democrat party, but that he would have been the Democrat nominee for sure in the 1940s old Democrat era.

News/ "Crying Indian" a Fake, Reports Say

by Marcus Errico Thu., Jan. 7, 1999 1:35 PM PST

Was the "Crying Indian" a crying fraud?

Iron Eyes Cody, dubbed the "Crying Indian" for those ubiquitous "Keep America Beautiful" anti-pollution spots in the 1970s, didn't have a trace of Native American blood in him, according to a report in Indian Country Today.

Instead, the actor, who claimed to be part Cherokee and part Cree and appeared in upwards of 80 films in American Indian roles--often playing characters identified only as "Indian," "Indian Chief" or "Indian Joe"--was really an Italian-American from Louisiana. His real name: Oscar DeCorti.

The allegations, surfacing just four days after Cody died, date back three years, when the New Orleans Times-Picayune originally detailed the actor's hidden history.

Cody claimed to have been born in Oklahoma around the turn of the century (dates vary from 1905 to 1915). He said he got the show biz bug from his Cherokee Indian dad, Thomas Long Plume, and later joined his pop as a performer in circuses and Wild West shows.

But, according to the newspaper reports, Cody's mom really hailed from Sicily and his father was an Italian immigrant.

Cody's film career included parts in Sitting Bull, The Great Sioux Massacre, A Man Called Horse and Ernest Goes to Camp, and he frequently served as an on-set technical advisor for American Indian scenes. He also turned up on such TV shows as Bonanza, Gunsmoke and Rawhide.

Hey Anderson, why the hell is it an either/or question? That's like asking, "Is vitamin C good for you, or are all vitamins good for you".

A lot of us, myself included, voted a straight Republican ticket last fall.

The RNC should be advised that if its conservative base has to choose between Yeb (RINO) and Clinton (D), a lot of us will write-in Webb (DINO) the next `go around’, or sit out.

Donald Trump? That’s how bad it is. GOP, 2015=Whigs, 1854.

Fake Indians:

Ward Churchill's claims to Indian heritage have been challenged by those he's named as sources. For instance, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokees has said that he was awarded "associate membership" status precisely because he was not a member by blood. Churchill's Wikipedia page notes that in 2005, the Rocky Mountain News failed to find any Indian ancestors in his background and university officials, though acknowledging he benefitted from affirmative action, refused to check his heritage, claiming that "a person's race of ethnicity is self-proving." For his part, Churchill says that while he has native American ancestors, he "never claimed to be goddamned Sitting Bull."

I love the old movies where many White Eyes played Injuns. LOL

"F" Troop: Hekawi tribe, whose principal income came from selling tchotkes to tourists. The Hekawis were a stunningly multicultural bunch, representing all sorts of ethnicities except for actual native Americans. Chief Wild Eagle was played by the Italian-American actor Frank DeKova and his deputy chief Crazy Cat was played by Don Diamond, a Yiddish-speaking graduate of the University of Michigan. Medicine Man duties were split between legendary actor Edward Everett Horton ("Roaring Chicken") and J. Pat O'Malley, who was originally born in England.
