The powerful editorial board of the Chicago Sun-Times has thought long and hard about the epidemic of black mob lawlessness in the Windy City. And one editorial board member has come up with a new way to stop the hyper-violence and killing: Take away their Facebook accounts. Mary Mitchell’s call for a Facebook crackdown breaks other new ground as well: She acknowledges the mobs are black. So she got that much right. Even if it is the official policy of the rest of the paper to ignore – or even deny – the racial component of mob violence. This, of...

Deck stacked against those who were raised by the streets. The horrible death of Eric Morse, the 5-year-old boy who was dropped from a CHA building in 1994, became a metaphor for the horrors of urban living. The ages of the boy's killers, 10 and 11, compounded the tragedy, as did the fact that Eric's half-brother, Derrick Lemon, was in the 14th-floor apartment when his brother was dropped to his death. » Click to enlarge image Mary Mitchell Derrick was 8 years old, unable to protect his younger brother from his tormenters even before the killers took him to the...

September 8, 2009 BY MARY MITCHELL Sun-Times Columnist Given Glenn Beck's powerful platform, it's amazing that the best he can do is forcing out President Obama's czar for green jobs. Van Jones, who was named a special adviser at the White House Council for Environmental Quality, was forced to resign after Fox News commentator Beck outed him as a black radical. Jones' biggest sin was calling Republicans the "a" word. He also signed a petition that questioned whether the Bush administration officials might have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen as a pretext of war. As ridiculous as that might sound,...

"Sarah Palin should apologize to the Obama campaign and the American people for her role in bringing out the worst in her supporters" ... "Palin's pit-bull mentality has not only set a negative tone, but a dangerous one. She should be censured."

Ever since the surprise announcement of Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, as Senator McCain’s choice for his Vice Presidential running mate, we have noticed a meltdown from the left, particularly so-called feminists. This could not be more evident than in shown in the Chicago Sun Times op-ed by Black female columnist Mary Mitchell’s Palin should be laughingstock to all feminists article published September 13, 2008. How sexist for this so-called feminist to begin her hit piece with, “ Sarah Palin makes me sick. I hate that she was able to steal Barack Obama's mojo just by showing up wearing rimless glasses...

Jerome R. Corsi's book about Barack Obama is a good example of the right wing's racial fear-mongering. Corsi is the Harvard Ph.D. who is credited with launching the attack that weakened Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign and led to the infamous "swift-boating." Unfit to Command was largely discredited, but not before it had done huge damage to Kerry's campaign because it distracted voters from the issues and distorted truth. By now, I think I've heard just about every lie and smear Obama-haters have used in an attempt to scare white Americans away from his campaign. If nothing else, they are...

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell has proven that skin color is deeper than hate in her Sunday column as she scolded Barack Obama for distancing himself from the endorsement of the racist Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. Mitchell scoffed at Barack's denouncement of Farrakhan as merely a "game" to placate racist white people and tried to pump up the legitimacy of Farrakhan at the same time. Shockingly Mitchell excused every hateful thing ever said by Farrakhan and said that Barack should have "found a way" to accept Farrakhan's endorsement "without denigrating Farrakhan's legacy." Mitchell scolded Barack Obama because he...

Organizers claim they didn’t intend to come off as secretive "It won’t happen again." Given the uproar over a closed-door meeting in which Clinton delegates gathered at the Parkway Ballroom on Wednesday for a pep talk from former President Bill Clinton, I’ll bet it won’t. Traci Otey Blount, a spokeswoman for the Hillary Clinton campaign, moved swiftly to douse the fire storm caused when media were locked out of a meeting billed as a “People’s Rally.” A gaggle of cameramen and reporters were forced to stand in chilly temperatures for three hours across the street, while a predominantly black crowd...

I never lived on a college campus. So I wasn't sure what bothered me about the way administrators at Trinity College handled three mail threats targeting African-American and Latino students on campus. Was it the forced evacuation of students who did nothing wrong? Was it the fact that this was happening at a religious school? Was it simply that this level of racial intolerance was happening at all? Last Thursday, about 43 students of color were moved from their dorms to an undisclosed location after the third letter threatened violence with a weapon. Packing up 43 students and putting them...
