Black Lives Matter Leader Declares You Have to Hate Israel to Not Be Racist, Cites Fake History

/0 Comments/in , /by

Black Lives Matter activist Tamika Mallory claims the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) can’t lead “anti-bias training” because they support Israel and have history of “attacking black people.” There’s only one problem: No such history exists.

Starbucks Coffee came under fire when one of its managers called the police on two black customers who refused to leave the store. As an apology, Starbucks will close 8,000 stores for an afternoon and mandate that all its employees go through “implicit bias” training to make them less racist. They chose the ADL, a Jewish organization, to head up the training. Mallory and others objected to the partnership with ADL, with some claiming the organization is “anti-black.”

Mallory was recently dragged through the coals for attending a speech by known racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. Similar to Farrakhan, the BLM movement in general views Israel as an “apartheid state” guilty of “genocide.” Further, the ADL has never shown any prejudice against the black community, criticizing only black supremacist organizations like Nation of Islam. In fact, the ADL supports much of the BLM’s platform on police shootings and education equality. . .

Martin Luther “King’s message was about building bridges, bringing people together, and joining forces to fight hate and oppression,” wrote Kenneth Jacobson, deputy national director for the ADL. “Comparing American racism and Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, by contrast, seems driven by individuals more invested in undermining the Jewish state than in furthering race relations in America or working toward a solution to the conflict the Middle East.” (Read more from “Black Lives Matter Leader Declares You Have to Hate Israel to Not Be Racist, Cites Fake History” HERE)

Liberals Have Only Helped Blacks Fail

/0 Comments/in , /by

Adding to the jeremiads from the phalanx of skin-color pimps and harlots is Latonia Westerfield. I happened upon an article by Westerfield titled: “Why Black People Don’t Need Jason L. Riley’s Help.” (March 25, 2015)

Westerfield, as is typical with her kind, had her Hanes, Jockey’s, Victoria Secrets’ or whatever brand of unmentionables she wears, in a Gordian knot because in her mind conservative Jason Riley, had dared impugn the citadel of skin-color identity politics. The citadel Jason had besmirched was the cathedral of “if you’re black, you’re a victim.” . . .

Westerfield wrote: “[Riley’s] words are indicative of why in 2015, race and racism are still cause for black people to fill the streets in protest with their hands raised in the air, demanding that their lives be seen as valuable. This is because Riley’s book doesn’t say anything new, in terms of understanding and dealing with issues in black communities, but rather presents the same old argument that dates back to slave auctions—black culture and, by extension blackness is inherently defective, “’if the rise of other groups is any indication, black social and economic problems are less about politics than they are about culture.”’

If black lives mattered to liberals, 17.3 million black women wouldn’t have paid the progeny of Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project” to murder their babies. If black lives mattered and liberal progressive policies actually helped – between 1976 and 2011, 94 percent of all blacks killed, wouldn’t have been killed by other black people.

Without going into the rest of Westerfield’s maudlin essay, her response validates what I have been saying all of my adult life, i.e., blacks are inculcated from cradle to grave to embrace being victims based upon color of skin. To her kind there is nothing as insufferable as a “black” person who isn’t a victim and who doesn’t harbor deep-seated antipathy against America, (read: white people).

Black Lives Actually DON’T Matter to NFL and the Left

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lost in the imbroglio over the NFL’s disrespect for our national anthem is the irony of the original impetus for Colin Kaepernick’s antics. Players are protesting supposed police brutality while new data shows there is a growing epidemic of violent crime in America, which is likely the result of dissuading police from proactive law enforcement work.

Sadly, the biggest victims of this rebounding epidemic are African Americans. Where is the protest or outrage over violent crime in inner cities rather than the police response to it (or lack thereof)?

It’s hard to overstate the importance of yesterday’s release of crime data from the FBI showing a second straight year with rising violent crime. After plummeting for 23 years, violent crime rose in 2015 and again in 2016, bending the only positive social trajectory we have witnessed over the past generation.

According to the FBI, violent crime rose by 4.1 percent and the murder rate spiked by 8.6 percent — the greatest single-year increase in 25 years. Also, while the murder rate spiked in all city size groups, it skyrocketed by over 20 percent in cities with over 1 million people. This, after increasing by a similar rate in 2015.

While the overall violent crime rate is still relatively low compared to the ‘70s, due to the quarter-century-long decline, the rate has now climbed back to 2012 levels, setting us back five years’ worth of progress.

These latest numbers demonstrate that the 2015 increase was not a blip on the radar but a likely trajectory change. Unlike most other statistics, which fluctuate from time to time, this new trend is very alarming.

When violent crime drops every year for over two decades, there are clearly some fixed and inveterate macro-factors at play. While criminologists disagree over the causes behind the drop, more aggressive policing and tougher sentences are undeniably a major part of the equation.

But whether one believes the great crime-reduction miracle is the result of tough-on-crime laws or other sociological reasons, it takes a pretty transcendent countervailing factor to reverse this 23-year trend by even a small percentage, much less such a significant increase.

This is why it’s dishonest when some major media outlets tout the fact that crime is still relatively low compared to the pre-‘90s era; there has been a generational sea shift in violent crime that is almost permanent. Of course, it will take many years of dismantling law and order to return to the pre-Giuliani days. Do we really want to wait for another few years of spikes in crime to pull the fire alarm?

Democrats Caught Inciting Anti-Police Riots in Missouri

/0 Comments/in , /by

The St. Louis Young Democrats are working hand-in-hand with Black Lives Matter to organize protests in the city, now entering their sixth night, and the mayor says she is “listening.”

The Young Democrats tweeted Wednesday at about 12:20 p.m. that the next “protest” in response to the not-guilty verdict in the Jason Stockley trial was planned for Wednesday evening, instructing rioters where to show up and at what time, hashtagging #Black Lives Matter on the tweet.

While the Young Democrats can claim they are calling for peaceful protests, that claim is dubious at best, given their connections with Black Lives Matter, a known radical group that espouses violence and has been seen on video kicking in storefront windows, spraying unknown chemicals and throwing rocks at police.

More than a dozen police officers have been reported injured, and tens of thousands of dollars in damage has been caused to local businesses that had nothing to do with the Stockley verdict.

Now it comes to light that the Young Democrats are organizing the riots, which they call protests. (Read more from “Democrats Caught Inciting Anti-Police Riots in Missouri” HERE)

Black Lives Matter Targets Jefferson Monument in Charlottesville

/0 Comments/in , /by

The divide over statues and monuments in Charlottesville, Va., appears far from over.

Just one month after a demonstration over plans to remove a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee turned violent, resulting in a woman’s death, a different group of protesters has targeted a statue of U.S. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson.

The Thomas Jefferson Monument, which sits just outside a rotunda at the University of Virginia — which Jefferson also founded — was cloaked in black Tuesday evening, and adorned with signs reading “Black Lives Matter” and “TJ is a racist,” local media reported.

Nearly 100 students came together to deface the statue, chanting, “No Trump, No KKK, no racist U-V-A,” the Washington Times reported. (Read more from “Black Lives Matter Targets Jefferson Monument in Charlottesville” HERE)

Controversial Black Lives Matter Comment Results in Suspension of University Professor

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Arizona university professor has been suspended over controversial comments he made about Black Lives Matter activists nearly a year ago.

Professor Toby Jennings of Grand Canyon University ignited a firestorm recently after the university posted a link to a ministry forum from last September in which he said that some members in the Black Lives Matter group “should be hung.”

“They are saying things that are not helpful in any shape or form or human dignity or flourishing,” the African-American professor said during the forum, which was videotaped.

GCU officials told Fox 10 Phoenix that Jennings was advised that his comments during the forum, called “God’s concern for the poor: What’s missing in social justice,” were offensive, but it was not brought up to the school’s top executives.

However, members of the Black Lives Matter movement were outraged when it was shared recently. (Read more from “Controversial Black Lives Matter Comment Results in Suspension of University Professor” HERE)

Black Lives Matter Activist Makes List of ‘Requests’ for White People

/0 Comments/in , /by

An activist associated with the Black Lives Matter movement recently offered a list of requests for white people.

The article for Leo Weekly, titled, “White people, here are 10 requests from a Black Lives Matter leader,” was written by Chanelle Helm, a self-described “cofounder and core organizer of Black Lives Matter Louisville.”

In the post, Helm opens by telling white people, “if you don’t have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family. Preferably one that lives in generational poverty.”

White people who can “an afford to downsize” are urged to “give up the home you own to a black or brown family.”

“White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing,” reads another request. (Read more from “Black Lives Matter Activist Makes List of ‘Requests’ for White People” HERE)

‘Black Lives Matter!’: Police Officer Attacked, Threatened at Traffic Stop

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man in Naples, Florida allegedly punched a deputy in the face at a traffic stop and yelled “Black Lives Matter!” when being taken to jail Wednesday.

The man, 34-year-old Anthony Denson Jr., was pulled over after a police officer saw he was driving without a seat belt, Naples Daily News reports . . .

Denson randomly accused the deputy of wanting to shoot him, and the deputy asked him to come out of the car. Denson refused, and the deputy threatened to use a taser if he didn’t listen.

Denson then got out of the car, but used that opportunity to punch the cop in the face. He was arrested.

Later, while being booked, he yelled “Black Lives Matter!” (Read more from “‘Black Lives Matter!’: Police Officer Attacked, Threatened at Traffic Stop” HERE)

Inauguration Insanity: BLM Sets up Human Chain near Bikers for Trump to Block Police

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Disruptive Black Lives Matter protesters formed a human chain to prevent Bikers for Trump from getting to their rally in front of John Marshall Park. Conservative Review’s Maria Jeffrey was at the scene documenting the protest events.

At one point, the BLM human chain also blocked police officers from entering their area.

Those police officers are there to ensure the safety of everyone attending the Inauguration, protesters and Trump supporters alike.

What if they needed to get into the area in case of an emergency? What if someone needed medical attention and Black Lives Matter agitators prevented them from getting the emergency care they needed? What if violence breaks out and they prevent the police from stopping it?

These malcontent creeps are putting people in danger! (For more from the author of “Inauguration Insanity: BLM Sets up Human Chain near Bikers for Trump to Block Police” please click HERE)

Black Lives Matter Just Became the Latest Crusade for Socialist Ice Cream Giant Ben & Jerry’s

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ben & Jerry’s released a detailed statement Thursday explaining why the company supports the Black Lives Matter movement, and why their customers shouldn’t be “complicit” by refusing to acknowledge the “violence and threats to the lives and well-being of Black people” in America.

The statement insists that they “value and respect” law enforcement, and clarifies they do not place the blame on individual officers. But, “it’s clear, the effects of the criminal justice system are not color blind.”

According to the Vermont ice cream company, systemic and institutionalized racism within the criminal justice system are the “defining civil rights and social justice issues of our time,” and proclaiming that “All Lives Matter” isn’t enough.

“All lives do matter,” the statement reads. “But all lives will not matter until Black lives matter.”

Then there’s the portion that police officers across the country will surely appreciate:

“It’s been hard to watch the list of unarmed Black Americans killed by law enforcement officers grow longer and longer. We understand that numerous Black Americans and white Americans have profoundly different experiences and outcomes with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. That’s why it’s become clear to us at Ben & Jerry’s that we have a moral obligation to take a stand now for justice and for Black lives.”

OK, maybe they won’t appreciate that part. But Ben & Jerry’s is careful to explain why they’re not anti-police:

“We want to be clear: we believe that saying Black lives matter is not to say that the lives of those who serve in the law enforcement community don’t. We respect and value the commitment to our communities that those in law enforcement make, and we respect the value of every one of their lives.”

(But their lives don’t matter until capital-B Black lives matter, correct?)

Because we all know that the Black Lives Matter movement is all about hating “institutions,” and not police.

Speaking out for liberal causes certainly isn’t new for everybody’s favorite social justice warrior ice cream entrepreneurs, Mediaite noted, citing recent examples like the Bernie Sanders flavor released earlier this year and the climate change-themed flavor in 2015.

Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield were also arrested during a political protest back in April, as the multi-millionaire 1 percenters could not in good conscience not fight against big-money’s influence on politics.

In accordance with the $5-for-a-thimble-of-ice-cream company’s “social mission” to educate customers on the social justice wars of our day, Ben & Jerry’s also published this lengthy listicle titled, “7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism is Real.” Number 4 on that list? “Criminal justice.” (For more from the author of “Black Lives Matter Just Became the Latest Crusade for Socialist Ice Cream Giant Ben & Jerry’s” please click HERE)
