Maybe the NBA commissioner got "woked" between the eyes Maybe the advertisers are texting NBA commissioner Adam Silver about the lousy ratings. Or maybe Mr. Silver finds Lebron James as obnoxious as the rest of us. One way or another, the "social justice" won't be back next season, according to Mr. Silver: We’re completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality and that’s been the case going back decades. It’s part of the DNA of this league. How it gets manifested is something we’re gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss for next season. I...

...As Thomas Sowell notes, Democrats value black votes but not black voters. Democrats need black voters to be fearful, angry, resentful and paranoid. Black votes matter. If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined. That is what Democrats are terrified of. That can only happen if blacks are denied the truth about their past, present, and future. It is Democrats who owned the slaves, founded the KKK, and wrote the Jim Crow laws. It is Democrats who stood in the schoolhouse door and still do, opposing school choice. It is Democrats who turned on...

A major Hungarian city submitted a brief video about itself to a European competition, only to be rejected at the entry level because the city was too, well, white. And Christian, too — another point against the city. CrossWare, who translated the article below, includes this prefatory note: Székesfehérvár is my hometown, a thousand-year-old city, where the original Royal Court resided. Dozens of kings and queens are buried beneath the city’s cathedral, but it is also a modern town. Many high-tech companies set up shop here; the area is sometimes described as the “Hungarian Silicon Valley”. Back during the Christmas...

Black Democrats will celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. this weekend by gathering near Ferguson, Mo., where a black teenager was killed by a white police officer last summer.The lawmakers, all members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), say they'll use the holiday to call on voters to get more involved in social justice issues while urging Congress to pass legislation overhauling the criminal justice system. Those issues have gained national prominence since August, when Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, after a confrontation on the streets...

Congressman Charlie Rangel who is quick to slander the tea party with charges of racism, was a guest on Monday's "The Ed Show" on MSNBC, where he made a statement that appeared to be startingly racist: "I was in combat, and I’m telling you, I saw more dead people, but I never was moved until I saw dead people that looked like me in my uniform." Rangel was on the show to discuss the police who turned their backs on Mayor De Blasio during Sunday’s funeral for slain New York Police Department officer Wenjian Liu. When asked to comment, Rangel...

The Supreme Court Is Going To End Affirmative Action As We Know It Erin FuchsOct. 9, 2012, 8:00 AMA University of Michigan student protests a ban on affirmative action. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in one of the most politically charged cases of the term – a challenge to the University of Texas at Austin's affirmative action policy. The Supreme Court last upheld affirmative action in 2003, ruling the University of Michigan could use race as one factor to achieve a "critical mass" of minorities necessary for a diverse student body. But a lot has changed since...

TALLAHASSEE -- With the furor surrounding the Trayvon Martin case and the stand-your-ground law showing no sign of a let-up, Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, announced Tuesday that he has formed his own task force to study the impact of the law. "Florida is in crisis mode," Smith told reporters. (snip) Smith said his task force will include the state attorneys from Broward and Miami-Dade, plus the public defenders from those two counties and Palm Beach County. Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Frank Adderley, former Democratic state Sen. Dan Gelber, and incoming House Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, will also...

Below are actual quotes from the President's books. A cold rage. Can this be true? Audacity of Hope is difficult to read due to his attitude toward citizens and everything American. A phrase he used to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE." THIS IS THE PRESIDENT Is anyone out there awake? From Dreams From My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." From Dreams From My Father : "I found a solace...

More White Voters Shift to GOP Under Obama Published July 23, 2011 | FoxNews.com The Republican Party has made big gains among white voters since President Obama was elected in 2008, but not among any other racial or ethnic group, according to a new Pew Research poll. More than half of all white voters (52 percent) now identify themselves as Republicans, compared with 39 percent who are Democrats. That 13-percentage-point lead is significantly higher than three years ago, when 46 percent of white voters were Republicans, compared to 44 percent of Democrats. At the same time, the Democratic Party’s dominance...

Jesse Jackson’s (public) objections to Rush Limbaugh’s NFL ownership plan ran roughly as follows: “Rush Limbaugh made his wealth appealing to the fears of whites with an unending line of insults against blacks and other minorities…the National Football League has set high standards for racial justice and inclusion.” “Viva Fidel!” bellowed Rev. Jesse Jackson during his speech at the University of Havana in June 1984, while trailing a 300 person entourage that included Rev. Jeremiah Wright. “Viva Che Guevara!” he yelled again with fists raised high. “Long Live our cry of freedom!” “He (Jesse Jackson) is a great personality,” reciprocated...

NEW ORLEANS — An African-American man from Mississippi admits posing as a white supremacist to send a death threat across state lines by Facebook.

Glenn Beck Wednesday defended calling President Obama a "racist” and saying the President must be held accountable for his actions. Beck told his radio audience that he would exercise his right to free speech whether or not he had a radio or television show. "Just know, you are never going to shut me up,” Beck told his listeners. The comments came after the combustible host ignited a firestorm Tuesday, when, during an appearance on FNC's freewheeling "Fox and Friends,” he said the President's reaction to the Henry Gates Jr. arrest situation in Cambridge, Mass., suggested a "deep-seated hatred for white...

What exactly does Mr. Obama mean by disproportionately? African Americans and Latinos make up 28% of the U.S. population, but commit 60% of the crimes in the country. A non-racist would have said that he didn't have the facts and could not comment. He let the proverbial cat out of the bag. We now know exactly what he thinks. All the spinning by the White House can't change what he believes. "Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that," Mr. Obama continued. "But I think it's fair to...

The world's oldest democracy should not allow Kostras Plevris, an openly fascist author, to fuel hatred of its Jewish citizens

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa Congressman Steve King says terrorists would celebrate if Democratic candidate Barack Obama won the presidency. King, a Republican, bases his prediction on several criteria: Obama's pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name Hussein -- a reminder of Iraq's former leader. King, in an interview today with the Daily Reporter in Spencer, said al-Qaida would -- quote -- "be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11th." King says terrorists would declare victory in the war on terror because Obama would pull troops...

On CNN today, Donna Brazile lit into Bill Clinton with a vehemence that raised eyebrows in both of their circles: Brazile: I could understand his frustration at this moment. But, look, he shouldn't take out all his pain on Barack Obama. It's time that they regroup. Figure out what Hillary needs to do to get her campaign back on track. It sounds like sour grapes coming from the former commander in chief. Someone that many Democrats hold in high esteem. For him to go after Obama, using a fairy tale, calling him as he did last week. It's an insult....

"I am a black woman who grew up in rural Oklahoma" "But when a co-worker called me a racist, I was absolutely unprepared. The accusation was made largely because of a sticker on the back of my truck. The simple statement "Stop illegal immigration" has earned me angry looks and obscene gestures in traffic."

Harris County prosecutors decided to file aggravated robbery charges in a deadly carjacking because the evidence did not show the attackers intended to kill a little girl, a key element for a murder charge, officials said. "It doesn't sound like a serious enough charge — maybe that is what people's perception is," said Di Glaeser, chief of the major offender and special crimes unit of the Harris County District Attorney's Office. "I think, that if these people are guilty, they should receive the most serious punishment and that would be aggravated robbery." Charged with aggravated robbery were Bakari Holland, 18;...

NY Times, June 12, 2006 by Jonathan P. Hicks "A group of black and Hispanic elected officials from Brooklyn are scheduled to meet this morning to devise strategies to keep a white candidate from winning a Congressional seat of historical significance in black politics. It is not the first such meeting of these officials, nor is it likely to be the last. That there are talks so steeped in ethnicity indicates that race is not just one of the issues in determining who will succeed Representative Major R. Owens. It seems to be the dominant one. Mr. Owens, a veteran...

The NYPD hate-crimes unit is probing a report that a white NYU student killed by a car in Harlem was fleeing a gang of black teenagers screaming "Get whitey!" sources said yesterday. If the report proves true, the violence could turn out to be an eerie replay in reverse of the infamous 1986 Howard Beach murder, where a black man was chased into traffic and killed by a group of white bigots. The 20-year-old student, John Broderick Hehman, died yesterday, six days after the attack. The sources said Hehman might have been targeted as a soft mark for robbers after...
