the contested ruling that has freed his assailant have become yet another test case of the fundamental fairness of the US justice system. The professor should be more attentive to the truth. There was no "ruling." There was a unanimous verdict based on a lengthy and careful analysis of well thought out instructions on the law by jurors who took their duty seriously. Jamaica has an English based judicial system. I came to be friends with one of the judges of it who had an excellent grasp of the rule of law. It's not as if she could not learn how it works if she bothered to take the time to find out. She clearly would rather focus on a kind of non-law "status" system based upon deference to what group one is a member of rather than trials based on the evidence.

"forbidding employers"

Name a city please. I can't believe an employer would be forbidden for asking about a prospective employee's criminal record. For instance, how could a convicted pedophile not have his past checked when he applies for a job?

“There will never be racial harmony in America as long as there is a Congressional Black Caucus....”

.
There will never be racial harmony in America.

It’s way too late for that — the damage is done and cannot be reversed.

Only racial homogeny will work. Isn’t that why the word ‘balkanization’ was coined?

"getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off".

The woman must've been a taxpayer.

"Obama comes to mainland America as an outsider , , "

When Barry lived in Hawaii until graduating from Punahou School in 1979, he lived in a very multicultural community. His high school was a private school where only the kids from wealthy parents attended. Here is a photo of his racially mixed school:

It is when Barry Obama went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, in 1979, did he find the cultural malaise of the black community and the reaction to it by the main stream culture. It was then he experienced "walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars". It was the main stream culture reacting to a culture that had been sickened by the effects of the Democrats and LBJ's Great Society sickness that had blighted American cities like the plague. It was an epidemic of food poisoning from the government trough that has plagued economic populations like a soft genocide to rid society of the unfit. This genocide continues.

The race card hides what is an American tragedy. Like a kabuki costume hides the real identity of the player, the race card hides the monstrous identity of government policy. The real player is the welfare state that discourages a mother and father to raise children as a family. It also is government that over-regulates and over-taxes free enterprise Capitalism out of the inner city and throughout our land.

Funny, most cars didn’t have automatic door locks back then, remember?

Zer0 said that the automatic door lock thing happened before he was a senator. Let’s see, Zer0 was a state senator from 1997-2004. If it happened then, that places him in Chicago. When I was in Chicago, back in 1973, the inner city was a no-man’s-land. I can imagine how the demise progressed to the state it was when Zer0 came to Chicago in 1983. I saw the guards at the upscale apartments to control who had access. I have a 1986 automobile with automatic door locks. I bet those automatic door locks were clicking like crickets when Zer0 walked down the street.

An interesting bit of word-of-mouth information has told me that Zer0 was dealing with the Black Gangster Disciples when in Chicago. And that was not just to help one of their members beat a jail sentence. Zer0 was making drug purchases. I bet Zer0 walking all wobbly on drugs made those doors click like castanets.

I don’t remember the names of the cities, but the article is on the WSJ. I think that the latest one was called Richland, CA., but the names didn’t stick in my mind, but this is not the first article that I have read about this.

You are correct about some aspects. Minnesota is close to passing a bill barring asking about criminal pasts until later in job interviews. But they’re not outright bans. So conceivably a combination pedophile-axe murderer could get past the first round of interviews.

"THOSE CRAZY birthers who insist that Barack Obama is from a foreign country are not completely lunatic."

Ah, the original birther is Barack Hussein Obama. On his own bio that he wrote for his publisher, Barack Hussein Obama reports that he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. He also is a lunatic, but not completely.

There is a city in CA that is trying to pass the ban as well. Later in the process means after a job offer has been made, but they are still only allowed to ask about serious crimes, like murder. Jobs working with children will still use criminal background checks.

Ten States and 51 cities now have laws banning criminal background checks, and I was wrong about the laws not applying to jobs working with children, only SOME of the laws allow background checks for jobs in critical areas, working with children.

So, potentially, all those teachers that we have been reading about for having affairs with students, will be able to get their jobs back when they get out of jail
