Ferguson Talk about deja vu Trayvon Martin spin all over again, I could hardly believe my eyes. During a discussion on CNN about the shooting of Michael Brown by a white police officer, in the background was a photo of Brown in a school graduation cap and gown. Give me a break!

Where was the picture from the surveillance video of the 6’4”, 290 pound thuggish Brown grabbing the store clerk by the throat after stealing cigars? The DOJ has advised news outlets not to broadcast the video of Brown assaulting the store clerk and robbing the store, claiming that it might incite violence. Okay, so allow me to make sure I understand the DOJ’s logic. Rather than exposing the true character of Brown, promoting the lie that a white police officer shot a studious innocent black youth who was simply minding his own business will not spark violence. Absurd.

I tip my hat to black conservative Kevin Jackson who hung tough during a slightly contentious CNN interview. Kevin refused to allow the CNN host to get away with portraying Brown as a “choir boy”. Way to go Kevin! By the way, liberals on the internet have called Kevin a fool.

I had a similar exchange with a reporter during a radio interview about the chaos in Ferguson. However, the reporter during my interview attempted to cut me off at every turn. She had zero tolerance for any other narrative other than white cops across America are shooting young black males at will.

In both Kevin’s and my interview, the MSM interviewers were incensed and a bit shocked that as black men, we were not all about blaming and resenting whitey. Were we Uncle Toms, stupid or what?

Like in the Trayvon Martin case, the MSM has launched a false narrative. Angelic Michael Brown was murdered by a racist white cop. Period. No amount of facts or truth will cause the MSM to report otherwise.

What I find most disheartening about the MSM’s and Leftist talking head’s coverage of the shooting is that it is all rooted in lies, political correctness and a racist low expectation of black Americans.

The term, “institutional police brutality” is being tossed around. Hogwash! The fact that Michael Brown knew he could walk into a convenience store, take whatever he wanted and assault the store clerk without consequence says that Ferguson thugs have no fear of the police.

Pundits all over TV are scratching their heads about how to stop the violence and looting in Ferguson. The answer is simple. Arrest and lock up the bad guys. Unfortunately, political correctness does not allow common sense solutions. PC dictates that the police behave like impotent social workers, rather than protecting store owners from looters. PC caused police to back off, forcing store owners to arm themselves to protect their businesses from looters.

The elephant in the room is the MSM’s racist bigotry of low expectations. The MSM have been disproportionately critical of Ferguson police while expressing little rebuke of the thugs and looters. It has been complicit with the DOJ in hiding the character of Michael Brown.

It is as if the MSM and the Left have taken the role of parents of spoiled brat children (black criminals). They refuse to acknowledge the bad behavior of their children and attack anyone who dares discipline them.

As in the scenario of a parent coddling a spoiled child, the MSM and the Left hiding and ignoring bad behavior by black criminals is destructive to the black community.

Epidemic black on black murder in Chicago, genocidal high black abortions, epidemic black school dropouts and black out-of wedlock births are taboo topics of the MSM. Compassionate whites who dare address these issues which are devastating the black community suffer the wrath of the Left and MSM. Ask Bill O’Reilly.

And another thing, Ferguson residents are being terrorized by thugs and looters, not by the police.

As a black American whom liberals have called a stupid N word on numerous occasions for touting my conservative views, I get the feeling the MSM’s unspoken opinion is as follows, “N****** have a right to act like n******. America should understand and compassionately tolerate it” This is pure racism and bigotry of low expectations.

Stemming from our legacy of marching with Dr King, we are a conservative, upright and moral people. A majority of black Americans, if given the truth without PC and political spin will come out on the side of justice and the law. The MSM and the Left’s condescension is demeaning and insulting to black America. Thank God there are faithful black conservatives demanding a higher standard; defending the character and dignity of black America. Black Americans are so much more than who the MSM and Left portray us to be.

Reporters do not interview people.
Reporters do not make inquiries.
Reporters do not do research.
Reporters do not uncover the truth.

Reporters push an agenda which has been previously formulated and which is impervious to rational counter-argument. They don't want to hear the other side. At all.

Hmmm. Never heard of this guy before but he nails it. “Racist bigotry of low expectations. ...” Exactly. All that feel good BS about helping and holding different groups to different standards smacks of an underlying belief that they are somehow inferior and need an advantage. Liberals are the real deeply racist people.

Correct. But every time a “racial” incident occurs, everyone, even conservatives, still will quote what they read/heard from CNN, ABC, NBC, NYT, their local clueless or agenda driven station, etc etc.

Like clockwork. After Duke Lacrosse and EVERY media outlet piling on lies and the narrative, that was the final straw for me. The Zimmerman case was icing on the cake.

I will never in my lifetime trust anything from any media outlet in regards to a racial matter. NEVER. Even if their is clear video.

Woman hit in head with pellet gun in alleged hate crime while walking through Central Park:

police
The 36-year-old victim told the Daily News she was attacked early Monday by a group of black youths who screamed that ‘all white people suck.’ The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.

BY Danielle Schlanger , Barry Paddock , Rich Schapiro
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Saturday, August 23, 2014, 8:38 PM

A 36-year-old woman walking through Central Park was shot in the back of the head with a pellet gun in an apparent hate crime, police said Saturday.

The shaken victim told the Daily News she was leaving the park at W. 60th St. and West Drive about 12:05 a.m. Monday when she strolled past a group of black youths.

The two men and three women — all in their late teens or early 20s — said nothing as they passed by. But moments later, the woman felt a “horrible pain” in the back of her head.

“My hand went up to my head, and there was blood gushing everywhere,” said the woman, who asked to be identified only as Hanna.

“I turned around, and I said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me? What’s wrong with you people?’”

One of the women immediately unleashed a barrage of racial epithets.

“F—— you, you f——— white b——,” the woman hissed, Hanna recalled.

You’re right, even Fox keeps saying “the unarmed black 18 year old teen”. 18 years old is a grown man. 17 years years old you can join the US military.

they're going to be pi$$ed off at the San Francisco earthquake as the nation's attention will now be diverted away from their cause.

Ferguson was getting quite boring anyway.

OBAMA, HOLDER,SHARPTON AND THE RACE WAR

RACE BAITERS ...

Just in Chicago, every week end, dozens of blacks are murdered and wounded by black and nobody in the black leadership, neither Obama, nor Holder or the race pimps, care. When Blacks kill Blacks, there are not mob protesting and rioting, neither Holder’s Justice Department would send 50 special agents to investigate and prosecute the culprits of a single case.

A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other Blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans.

To put these number in perspective, recall that over 6,400 U.S. service men and women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the course of a decade-long war fought in those nations.

If a Black police officer in the fulfillment of its duty happen to kill another Black, an Hispanic or a white person, the media will not accuse the officer as murderer even before the details of the case are known as it happens when the officer is a white policeman and the dead person is Black.

”Perhaps it is time that Americans were finally told the truth about the police, so they might avoid falling prey to the self-serving lies of the aforementioned, self-anointed guardians of “civil rights.”

”The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that in 1998, fully 62 percent of the 367 suspects killed by police officers nationwide were white, and 35 percent were black. In fact, police killings of white suspects have outnumbered those of black suspects in every single year since 1978.”

” black officers are far likelier to shoot black suspects than are white officers. In 1998, for instance, the black-officer-kills-black-felon rate was 32 per 100,000 black officers – much higher than the white-officer-kills-black-felon rate of 14 per 100,000 white officers.”

”While part of this disparity is due to the fact that black officers often tend to be assigned to black neighborhoods, clearly no case can be made from these numbers that white officers are in any way “trigger-happy” when confronting black suspects.”

”The intra-racial nature of most police shootings has existed for many years. Between 1976 and 1998, about 65 percent of homicides by police officers were against suspects of the same racial background. The rate at which white officers shoot black suspects has been declining steadily for two decades, while the rate at which they shoot white suspects has remained fairly constant over that same period. When a white officer kills a suspect today, that suspect is usually white (63 percent). When a black officer kills a suspect, that suspect is usually black (81 percent).”

”Overall, black officers are slightly likelier than white officers to kill a suspect in the line of duty. Indeed whites comprise 87 percent of all police nationwide, but account for only about 80 percent of homicides against criminal suspects, regardless of race. Meanwhile blacks, who constitute 11 percent of American police officers, are responsible for about 17 percent of homicides against criminal suspects.”

”Some readers may find this information shocking, particularly in light of the media’s and the civil rights establishment’s disproportionate focus on instances of white officers killing black suspects.”

The rest of the history

You could not be more wrong. Reporters do interview, inquire, research and uncover. JOURNALISTs now are another story. They fit the above profile. We need reporters and not journalists .If you want to journal get out a notebook or iPad and record your thoughts for your own contemplation or for your posterity.

The DOJ has advised news outlets not to broadcast the video of Brown assaulting the store clerk and robbing the store, claiming that it might incite violence.

The 'press' also referred to the bully endlessly as an 'unarmed teenager'.

White, Asian, and Hispanice knockout game victims were all beaten and some murdered by 'unarmed' black teenagers. A quick death would have been kinder for those who were murdered. Does the press know that? Or is 'unarmed' when it comes to being beaten to death by a 300 pound thug nothing for them? Maybe only a knife to the throat matters to journalists - and then only if the victim is one of their own. How charming.

Speaking of which... when the press gets a picture of the 'young person' who beheaded James Foley I'm expecting them to show us pictures of him as a young person graduating from high school... maybe an interview with his grieving parents (grieving because he was caught or better yet - shot). We'd like to see the press in their full blown kiss butt glory... And if not, we'd like to see a move to standardize these types of stories so their teacher's pets are covered the same as the hated Tea Party... You know - a style book for stories - not just punctuation. Hello Washington Post - are you there?

if anyone has doubts about the media promoting racial turmoil need only look at the front page of the Virginian Pilot today. With a large sketch of a black man tied to a stake and a white man with a cat of nine tails whipping him - a recaptured slave. Obviously the sketch and article about treatment and punishment of slaves published today so as to bring not harmony among races, but division and conflict. This the worst of the worst - sickening.

I hope the people of Norfolk will rise up en masse against the Virginian Pilot. They have done great harm to race relations in the Tidewater area of Virginia and nearby North Carolina. Shame of the publishers of that newspaper.

its all about the narrative. The “Community”, its hustlers and ALL the media push the narrative regardless of stone cold facts.

And to add before a typo is pointed out in my prior post, Lasts paragraph - there , not their.

The term “Black community” is pure BS. Ever hear the media say the “white community”.

Ask Lloyd Marcus, Allen West or any black conservative what they think of the term and you’ll get an earful. The media loves to lump all blacks into the same group, the welfare, democrat-voting group. That’s the “black community”. Like I say, ask Allen West how to likes being lumped into the “black community”. He will tell you he’s an American and nothing else. Not an African-American, not a Black-American, but an American! And damn proud of it.

An excellent article, but:

Thank God there are faithful black conservatives demanding a higher standard; defending the character and dignity of black America. Black Americans are so much more than who the MSM and Left portray us to be.

As long as 95%+ of their votes go to the liberal racist thugmasters, don't blame "the rest of us" for questioning this.
