By Michael P. Tremoglie Tea Time Blog Since writing about the possibility of reverse discrimination in football last week (Tremoglie’s Tea Time Blog Oct. 8, 2009 http://tremoglieteatime.blogspot.com/2009/10/reverse-discrimination-in-football.html), I have received some examples of this and there has been a very public controversy involving the National Football League. My article was prompted by a quote from Stanford University Cardinals running back Toby Gerhart...

More than a few on the right are alarmed by the torrent of racism accusations that an all-star cast of liberal luminaries has directed at President Obama’s critics. “When people like Jimmy Carter and Maureen Dowd start saying this kind of thing, we’ve reached a whole new level of ugliness in our political discourse,” as one friend of mine puts it. “No charge in American life is so poisonous.” He’s got a point, of course—especially about the poisonous part. Yet as those on the other side spew the R-word with ever more irresponsible abandon, some of us find new reason...

Call and start the boycott. (212) 450-2000 NFL Office Number

It was the kind of crime that strikes terror into the hearts of parents everywhere. A bright young couple were carjacked after a Saturday night date and murdered in the most brutal way imaginable. Christopher Newsom, 23, was tied up and raped, shot in the back of the head and then dragged to a railway track and set on fire. His girlfriend, 21-year-old University of Tennessee student Channon Christian’s fate was even more horrific. Her death came only after hours of torture, during which time she was raped and savaged with a broken chair leg. She was beaten in the...

HAMPTON, Va. -- Nikole Churchill, a tall, thin woman with long, dark hair, was named homecoming queen at historically black Hampton University last week. The next day, she appeared with her court at the football game against Howard University, another historically black school. All this would be unremarkable except that Churchill is the first homecoming queen at Hampton who is not black. That apparently did not sit well with a handful of people at the game, who heckled the senior nursing major. This bit of unpleasantness, along with similar comments online, might have passed unnoticed except for what Churchill did...

Media Bias: Not long after pro football welcomed a convicted felon back on the playing field, Rush Limbaugh is dropped for his opinions from a group seeking to buy an NFL franchise. Won't someone throw a flag? When even Keith Olbermann says back off, you know the politically correct critics of the conservative icon and megaradio talk host's proposed part ownership of the St. Louis Rams are guilty of piling on. The prospect of the leading conservative voice in America participating in the purchase of a football team sent the liberal elites into cardiac arrest and into a frenzied campaign...

Ringleading a notorious dog fighting ring wasn't enough to prevent Michael Vick from being welcomed back into the National Football League’s fold. Likewise, his involvement in a fatal drunk driving accident probably won't prevent Donte Stallworth's eventual return to the league. So it strikes me as more than a little ridiculous that the league thinks it is too good for Rush Limbaugh. In case you haven’t heard, Limbaugh was just dropped from a group trying to purchase the St. Louis Rams, following a fuss about his inclusion in the deal. Dave Cheketts, the leader of the group aiming to buy...

HAMMOND, La. (AP) - A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long. Neither Bardwell nor the couple immediately returned phone calls from The Associated Press. But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist. "I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house," Bardwell said. "My main concern is for the...

Should falsely calling someone a racist be a hate crime?

Oct. 14–Many Obama voters will freely acknowledge that the main reason they voted for him is because he is black. They are proud of it; they prattle on and on about the historic nature of a black man being president, as if his skin color alone justifies this. These lefty-bigots squint and smile and gush over Obama like fools because, well, he is black. Like strutting, barnyard chickens, they bawk-bawk in unison: “Obama. . . Bawk Bawk Black Black Black Black Black.” Except the chickens have more intellect. Obama, whose voting record in the U.S. Senate was, by any definition,...

When it comes to slurring Rush Limbaugh in his quest to obtain an interest in the NFL's St. Louis Rams, someone's going to have to work hard to top Adrian Wojnarowski. The Yahoo Sports reporter today called Rush a "racist" and a "bigot" and claimed he would never hire a black coach. Wojnarowski spouted his slurs on Jim Rome's "Rome Is Burning" show on ESPN this afternoon. ADRIAN WOJNAROWSKI: People do not want a bigot as an owner. He's a racist. He's a bigot. He's shown it for years. He's made his career in a large way off marginalizing black...

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 So Much for the Post-Racial America   [Andy McCarthy] I'm hunkered down on some projects and just heard about the phony attacks on Rush by the race-hustlers extraordinaire, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I know Rush has big shoulders and he'll handle it just fine. But everytime one of these stories comes up, which is all too often, I can't help but think it says a lot more about us than whoever happens to be in the cross-hairs. Why do Sharpton and Jackson have careers? Why aren't they shown the door for serial racism and dishonesty? Why does...

MSNBC contributor Touré on Wednesday continued the network's vitriolic, slanderous attacks on Rush Limbaugh. Discussing the radio host’s bid to buy the St. Louis Rams, the cable commentator smeared, "Several NFL players have already said they would not play for Rush because they know he would love to say he owns a plantation full of black men." [Audio available here.] When Morning Meeting host Dylan Ratigan mock protested, "No, they don't know that," the one-named Touré reiterated, "They feel it." Ratigan gave in and played along, "Okay, they feel that." Despite calls from the Media Research Center, MSNBC has repeatedly...

Hampton University in Virginia made a huge mistake. They took Barack Obama's post racial world idea and, thinking it was already here, anointed a white chick as its "Miss Hampton University" pageant winner. Now some of the black students are mad that the traditionally black university named a white girl as "Miss Hampton U." Ooopsie. I guess we aren't in that era of Obama like we thought we were. I guess we aren't quite done with all that racial strife that we keep hearing about on the news, eh? I hate it when the man... er, the bro... is always...

It has been almost two Months since the vicious attack on Brian Milligan, and still no arrests have been made. If He were black and the perpetrators were white, it's my guess that the FBI would be involved to find the perpetrators of the hate Crime.Am I the only one who thinks that Obama should tell his FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate the crime? After all, we are reminded often how it was the federal government and the FBI who had to go into the South and investigate crimes against the black community by the KKK because the...

“As a white running back you get stereotyped,” Stanford University running back Toby Gerhart said during an interview in the October 12, 2009 edition of Sports Illustrated. “When I tell people I play football they say, ‘Oh, you’re a fullback,’” he said. For those unfamiliar with the sport, fullbacks are running backs who rely more on strength then speed. However, they rarely carry the ball. Their role is usually reserved to block for the running back. Gerhardt then mentioned during one football game that he overheard a coach from the University of Washington refer to him by yelling, “He’s not...

In today's NewsReal, Paul Cooper and Joseph Klein have offered some fine analyses of how the leftist media have willfully distorted Rush Limbaugh's views about race. Those views have suddenly become newsworthy because of Rush's current effort to purchase the National Football League's St. Louis Rams, whose roster, like the rosters of NFL teams generally, is mostly black. Six years ago Rush was excoriated for his infamous on-air observation that the media were overrating the skills of then-Philadelphia Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb because of their own desire to see an African American dominate the quarterback position. At the time, high-profile...

Drew Sharp quoted an NFL football player who claimed that Rush had defended slavery. Sharp apparently never bothered to research this claim further, and instead just went ahead and published it. Sharp then went on The O'Reilly Factor and repeated the claim. Sharp has refused to back his claim up with an original source (because none exists), or offer a retraction and apology. Drew Sharp needs to be fired for this disgraceful bit of hack pseudo-journalism.

In reaction to President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, Ms. Bruce posted about her first thoughts on hearing that the President had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace... She followed that up with another entry, in which she posted a photo of her pet raccooon, Rocky, paw in a box of Cracker Jack, digging for his very own Nobel Peace Prize.

Apparently the NAACP practices the very thing it protests against. Can you imagine what the outcry would be if we said the same thing? These people should be ashamed of themselves, but they are all liberal Dems, so they don't even see the hypocrisy, and nor will the clueless Sun point it out. NAACP fears appointment of white or Republican mayor if Dixon is convicted Leaders of the Maryland NAACP, worried that a Baltimore mayor's criminal conviction could result in the appointment of a white or Republican leader who may not fully represent the majority black and Democratic city, are...

Many in the National Football League (NFL) and in the media have decided that the prospect of talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh owning an NFL team is somehow akin to a Klansman buying out Black Entertainment Television (BET). The latter would be scandalous, of course -- even though the "N" word is probably dropped more frequently during that station's programming than during the average Klan rally. In case you missed it, Limbaugh is considered to be a racist and a bigot by a whole lot of people who have never actually listened to the guy's radio show. And now, Limbaugh is...

Headline: Will Black Players Refuse To Play For Rush Limbaugh's Rams? So goes the latest reverse racism bigotry now aimed at Rushbo for wanting to enslave the St. Louis Rams and force his slave players to perform for meager millions of dollars.Mathias Kiwanuka (African name), defensive end for the Rams, has reportedly said that he would not play for Rush, and one Jets player called Rush a "jerk and an ass," despite the fact that Rush has had many more black intellectual friends than Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick put together.Rush should fire all similar thinking black players for being...

See Part 1 of NewsReal's ongoing series: Marc Lamont Hill's Overrated Black People List: Michael Eric DysonIn our continuing discussion of the damage done to the African-American community by affirmative action policies very rarely does one actually find actual admissions by an intellectual that they're overrated, that their achievement is inflated because of their race. It does happen sometimes, though. From The Nation's The Notion group blog, Princeton professor and frequent cable news Obama booster Melissa Harris-Lacewell riffed on the harsh response she received from her fellow leftists for not happily going along with the President's Nobel Appeasement Prize I...

Is NFL Players Association Chief DeMaurice Smith being forthright when he contends he wants to protect the sport from "discrimination and hatred" as he has claims, or is he engaging in partisan hackery, with the benefit of having the ear of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell? ESPN's Chris Mortensen shared Smith's concerns on the network's Web site Oct. 11 based on an e-mail Smith had sent to Mortensen which said the following: "I've spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages," Smith wrote. "But sport in America is at its best...

With the far left and their media allies engaging in their usual Columbus bashing today, I was wondering if all of the government employees taking the day off today are racists. After all, Christopher Columbus was directly responsible for the death of all of the indigineous people in the America's since 1492. All you SEIU people - get back to work.

October 11, 2009 Obama and the end of white guiltBy Jeff Lukens Barack Obama portrayed himself as America's first "post-racial" president, yet he and his supporters continue to play the race card against ordinary Americans who oppose him. Despite a big election victory, Obama is unable to understand that ordinary Americans do not like being bullied. Nor does he understand that they do not like being called racists for political disagreements. The Obama agenda is desperate and out of ideas. In their desperation, they deal from the bottom of the deck. The race card has never failed them before, and...

Craig Bodeker’s film, A Conversation about Race

Why is it that anyone who does not support President Obama is called a racist? Even since Obama was elected we have been hearing how people that oppose the president are racist. Watch the video below. This is Janeane Garofalo on “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“As a white running back you get stereotyped,” Stanford University running back Toby Gerhart said during an interview in the October 12, 2009 edition of Sports Illustrated. “When I tell people I play football they say, ‘Oh, you’re a fullback,’” he said.

Congressman Joe Wilson’s “You Lie!” charge against President Barack Obama has elicited a curious response from various figures – that Wilson’s action both comes from and evidences racism. Perhaps New York Times’ Maureen Dowd made the most provocative allegation while former President Jimmy Carter couldn’t resist the opportunity to top it off with his own contention that racism underlies many whites’ criticism of President Barack Obama. This is not to ignore similar utterances from such less relevant voices as Janeane Garofalo that restate the racist charge with no support other than an attitude of arrogant certainty. These very accusations cover...

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs describes in very explicit detail how Barack Obama's official Web site, Organizing for America, has become a "hub for Islamic anti-Semitism." All this hate speech was posted with the full approval of the moderators who exercise editorial control over the site. The fact that Barack Obama allows his official Web site to serve as a platform for this kind of material, along with misogynist and ageist hate speech, is entirely consistent with his personal and open association with racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic hate groups. ...The following picture was taken at a 2007 meeting of Al...

My daughter and I we were joking about the possibility that the International Olympic Committee would be branded racist by Jimmy Carter for rejecting President Obama's bid for Chicago to host the 2016 games. She then remarked how surprised she was to learn from a recent cable television program that the Irish suffered from severe discrimination in the last two centuries. That was hardly news to me as I had once heard someone comment that the Irish were once treated like Puerto Ricans and blacks - especially in Boston, where shops once displayed help-wanted signs that read, "Irish need not...

An Australian variety show has become embroiled in an international racism controversy after airing a skit featuring men dressed as the Jackson 5 – with their faces painted black. The "Jackson Jive" parody, which aired on a reunion episode of the variety show Hey Hey It’s Saturday last night, was deemed offensive by the guest judge, the US singer Harry Connick Jr, who complained on air, saying: “If I knew that was going to be part of the show I definitely wouldn't have done it. “On behalf of my country I know it was done humorously, but we’ve spent so...

It was the 1960's, and after decades following the abolishment of slavery, African-Americans were still vying for simple, fundamental human rights, including the most basic form of involvement in society-voting.

CNN is receiving criticism, of many different kinds from many different places, for a segment Monday on "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." The segment "fact-checked" a Saturday Night Live sketch. The sketch, which has been deemed the show's first viral hit of the season, cataloged Pres. Obama's supposed lack of accomplishments. The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto called the idea "a bizarre exercise." The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik wrote, "Fact checking a comedy sketch -- I will say no more." FNC's Greg Gutfeld showed the clip on Red Eye and joked, "Seriously, reviewing an 'SNL' skit for accuracy is...

There I stood, hundreds of people surrounding me. Chanting. Singing. Listening to the passionate words of our leader and then uttering responses in unison. People came with their children, with their parents. They stayed all day. As I looked around at the crowd, it was immediately noticeable that we were all white. No blacks. No Hispanics. No Asians or Indians. It was a sea of white. How un-inclusive! How closed-minded! How intolerant we must have been! What was this entirely white crowd of hundreds I’ve just described? A local RNC gathering? An “angry mob” Tea Party? An NRA convention? Because...

Wednesday, October 07, 2009 Lamar Smith: Special Prosecutor Should Investigate ACORN   [Robert Costa] Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Tex.) is calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate ACORN. “There are obvious conflicts of interest in the Department of Justice doing any type of investigation itself,” Smith tells NRO. “Just look at all the ties President Obama has to ACORN, starting off with how he trained ACORN members, served on boards and foundations that gave to ACORN, and paid $830,000 to an ACORN subsidiary during his presidential campaign to get out the vote.”“Then we have a...

We know better than others that every attribute of their character fits them for dependence and servitude. By nature the most affectionate and loyal of all races beneath the sun, they are also the most helpless; and no calamity can befall them greater than the loss of that protection they enjoy under this patriarchal system. Indeed, the experiment has been grandly tried of precipitating them upon freedom which they know not how to enjoy; and the dismal results are before us in statistics that astonish the world. With the fairest portions of the earth in their possession and with the...

When you are a community organizer and under attack there is only one thing to do, bring out the race card. The latest count shows ACORN under investigation in 20 states, its employees were charged with more than 50 counts of “election-related fraud,” and that ACORN has spent more than $1 million on restitution to avoid criminal prosecutions (although the Louisiana AG says that number is closer to $5 million). And that doesn't even count the videotape/prostitution scam. The is more than enough evidence to show that ACORN is corrupt throughout its vast organization and in so many ways. But...

The Olympics will not be held in Chicago. So has Obama failed Chicago? Not really: hosting the Olympics is a decidedly mixed blessing and this will be forgotten soon. Obama, however, has failed black America, and that failure may linger for a long time. The election of a black president, all other things being equal, is a good sign in American politics. All things, though, were not equal in the case of Barack Obama. He was not and is not wedded to the grand principles of American greatness. The blessings of citizenship are squandered on Barack Obama, just as the...

Then again, in turn, his performance doesn’t seem quite so bad when compared with Mickey Rooney in the role of Mr Yunioshi, Holly’s bucktoothed, yellowface Japanese neighbour. Though the problem here is less with the acting than with the stereotypical nature of the role. “O me so sorry! Me love you long time!” It makes The Black and White Minstrel Show look like a government ethnic minority recruitment campaign. Apparently, director Blake Edwards subsequently expressed regret, saying “looking back, I wish I had never done it”, but this doesn’t change the fact that one of the most acclaimed films of...

It was empirical reflection that brought independence to the colonies, as much as affliction played a role in the declaration, remedies were numerously proposed and reconciliation was the foremost at the time. As much as usurpation and injustices may have originated the debates, the remedy, was not unanimously collaborative. The abuses of the king were not levelly applied to all colonies. Quartering of British soldiers was more prevalent in some colonies than in others, tariffs impacted some colonies more than others and, violent interactions between colonists and British soldiers were not uniformly spread throughout. The tribulation of the colonist was...
