WHEN US INNOCENT ARE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY !

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:19:25 +0000

What kind of Judeau Christian values is our country demonstrating to the rest of the world when our national prisons are reported to contain 100,000 innocent and falsely imprisoned inmates who can not find even one American Political Leader or National Media source willing to take the high road in fighting for justice and equality within our federal appeal judicial process?

** Great societies that do not protect even their innocent, become the guilty!

LaVena Johnson reportedly died in Iraq on July 19, 2005, days shy of her 20th birthday. The Army called it suicide. From the very beginning her family did not buy that story and new evidence suggests their suspicions could be well-founded.

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. (AP) Affirmative action foe Ward Connerly on Thursday brought his long-running campaign to Truman State University, where an overflow crowd alternately mocked and cheered his efforts in support of a November ballot initiative that would ban consideration of race in public hiring and college admissions.

...

Connerly drew his biggest applause of the night after briefly losing his composure responding to an audience member's interruption.

''Lady, would you please just shut up?'' he said.

The media at large has attempted to condemn the recent events in Kirkwood as an "inexcusable" act of a madman.

Questions how ever arise when we hear when reporters that can't even manage to prod a condemning statement out of the neighbors of the late Charles "Cookie" Thornton.

Many were the cries of racism against the city council, it is obvious to those with open minds that the events of February 7th are simply a case of "chickens came home to roost" so to speak.

Recall Slay. Volunteers needed!

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 12:25:06 +0000

Friends,

February 5th is an opportunity to return democratic government to our city. We can get all the signatures needed on February 5th to force a recall election of Francis Slay. I have been part of the recall effort for the past 6 months. Saturday after Saturday a group of us have gone out in north side wards getting signatures. We have 3 of the 19 wards needed.

If we have sufficient petitioners at the polling sites to handle the record turnouts expected, we will get the rest. In the targeted wards it doesn't take much persuading.

Can the MSM Write Anecdotally About Gentrification Without Being Ungodly Racist?

ben — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 21:31:46 +0000

Don’t you just love it when some quippy Business Section jackass at the WaPo decides to tackle gentrification on a small business-level, assumes a positive urban-renewal tone but ultimately just says “IT’S A LOT BETTER IN THIS AREA SINCE THE BLACK PEOPLE LEFT”? Well, we had one of those today, about a liquor store. The subhead: “As Rough-Hewn Area Goes Upscale, Merchant Shifts From Beer to Champagne.” What a merrily racist Christmas Eve ‘tis!

White Backlash and the Right

Recently the New York Times carried a report on the "noose incidents" that have been occurring with rising frequency around the country, inspired seemingly by the protests over the "Jena 6" case.

The report came complete with a graphic showing where the incidents have occurred. Remarkably, it isn't just happening in the South: the incidents are also being reported in places like Minneapolis; Cicero, Ill.; Pittsburgh; Philadelphia; Newark; Baltimore; and New London, Conn.
