Racial Supremacy

whitey.jpg
Surprise: This election really is about racial supremacy after all …

Wright 101
Obama funded extremist Afro-centrists who shared Rev. Wright’s anti-Americanism

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same
bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.

John McCain, take note.

Viewing elections through the eyes of a racist

Pollsters Debate 'Bradley Effect'
Election Seen as Test of Theory That Black Candidates' Leads in Polls Aren't Real

Not long ago, it was considered political gospel: Be wary of polls when an election involves an African American candidate, because many whites will voice support but then vote for the white opponent.

Now, poll-watchers are asking whether that could be skewing the numbers as Democrat Barack Obama, the first African American presidential nominee, moves ahead of Republican John McCain.

Most experts say they do not believe that the phenomenon, known as the "Bradley effect," is at work in this election. But some disagree. And if the effect has disappeared, it is not clear whether that is because polling techniques have improved or because the country has become more tolerant about race.

Expert: Boston study at root of housing crisis
Battle over blame

Angry taxpayers and politicians looking for someone to blame for the current economic crisis may have no further to look than the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, according to a top academic.

The stunning rise in U.S. home foreclosures, which is a root cause of what has become the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, was made possible by flexible mortgage-lending standards championed by the Boston Fed in the mid-1990s, according to Stan Liebowitz, an economics professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.

In 1992, four Boston Fed researchers argued in a landmark study of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data that there were “substantially higher denial rates for black and Hispanic (mortgage) applicants than for white applicants.”
The Fed study concluded that “a black or Hispanic applicant in the Boston area is roughly 60 percent more likely to be denied a mortgage loan than a similarly situated white applicant. . . .

“In short, the results indicate that a serious problem exists in the market for mortgage loans, and lenders, community groups and regulators must work together to ensure that minorities are treated fairly.”

People of Color

Physically, objects can be said to have the color of the light leaving their surfaces, which normally depends on the spectrum of that light and of the incident illumination, as well as potentially on the angles of illumination and viewing orientation.

Some objects not only REFLECT light, they can transmit light or emit light themselves, which contribute to the color also. We are interested only in reflected light for this discussion, not with objects that by themselves transmit or emit light. Some generalizations of the physics can be drawn regarding REFLECTED light, neglecting perceptual effects:

a. Light arriving at an opaque surface is either reflected "specularly" (that is, in the manner of a mirror), scattered (that is, reflected with diffuse scattering), or absorbed – or some combination of these.

Obama's Anger

"The anger is real. It is powerful, and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races." - Barack Obama

Back in the late 1980s I was on a plane flying out of New Orleans and sitting next to me was a rather interesting and, according to Barack Obama, unusual black man. Friendly, gregarious, and wise beyond his years, we immediately hit it off. I had been working on Vietnamese commercial fishing boats for a few years based in southern Louisiana. The boats were owned by the recent wave of Vietnamese refugees who flooded into the familiar tropical environment after the war. Floating in calm seas out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, I would hear tearful songs and tales from ex-paratroopers about losing brothers, sisters, parents, children, lovers, and beautiful Vietnam itself to the communists.

Pigment Over Principle

Conservative Blacks Choose Pigment Over Principle

In the mid 1980's I debated Gloria Steinhem on the Phil Donahue show, during the presidential campaign where Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman Vice Presidential candidate. The assumption by feminists, like Gloria, was that all women should vote for Geraldine because she was a woman. I asked her if she would be supporting Phyllis Schlafly if she were the candidate instead of Geraldine and if she would be offended if I made that same assumption.

The La Raza "Curriculum"

Tucson Unified History Teacher Speaks Out on La Raza "Curriculum"

As a former teacher in Tucson Unified School District's hotly debated ethnic studies department, I submit my perspective for the public's consideration.

During the 2002-2003 school year, I taught a U.S. history course with a Mexican-American perspective. The course was part of the Raza/Chicano studies department. Within one week of the course beginning, I was told that I was a "teacher of record," meaning that I was expected only to assign grades. The Raza studies department staff would teach the class. I was assigned to be a "teacher of record" because some members of the Raza studies staff lacked teaching certificates. It was a convenient way of circumventing the rules.

I stated that I expected to do more than assign grades. I expected to be involved in teaching the class. The department was less than enthusiastic but agreed.

Immediately it was clear that the class was not a U.S. history course, which the state of Arizona requires for graduation. The class was similar to a sociology course one expects to see at a university. Where history was missing from the course, it was filled by controversial and biased curriculum.

The Obama Bargain

Sharpton.GIF

Geraldine Ferraro may have had sinister motives when she said that Barack Obama would not be "in his position" as a frontrunner but for his race. Possibly she was acting as Hillary Clinton's surrogate. Or maybe she was simply befuddled by this new reality -- in which blackness could constitute a political advantage. But whatever her motives, she was right: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position."

Barack Obama is, of course, a very talented politician with a first-rate political organization at his back. But it does not detract from his merit to say that his race is also a large part of his prominence. And it is undeniable that something extremely powerful in the body politic, a force quite apart from the man himself, has pulled Obama forward. This force is about race and nothing else.

Stereotyping and Diversity Dogma

Stereotyping 101

In a racial profiling lawsuit against the Maryland State Police (MSP), a plaintiff's attorney named Eliza Leighton said that some training documents contain "startling examples of racial stereotypes about Hispanics."

According to the Associated Press:

“For example, one document cautions that Hispanics generally do not hold their alcohol well. They tend to drink too much and this leads to fights. And it notes, Hispanic males are raised to be MACHO and brave, while females are raised to be subservient. Other sterotypes [sic] include the assertion that the weapon of choice for Hispanics is a knife and that Hispanics are reluctant to learn English.”

Regardless of the outcome of this lawsuit, we can now expect such information to be purged from the training documents. But, as I wrote about Dr. James Watson's comments regarding Africans, intelligence and genetics, this is part of a very distressing pattern. Everyone fixates on the fact that such comments constitute generalizations (about groups that are supposed to be immune from such things), as if this is an offense in and of itself. Yet, no one seems to ask the only relevant question.

Are the generalizations true?

Every indication is that Don Imus has just been Nifong’ed. His case is a little different in that it occurred without evidence of a crime having been committed, or for that matter even alleged. Allegations of racial insensitivity were recklessly fired into the air by an ultra-activist liberal watchdog group (Media Matters For America) without any regard for personal injury. On April 4, 2007, Media Matters for America was monitoring the 'Imus in the Morning' broadcast when Don Imus was heard to refer to the Rutgers University women's basketball as "nappy-headed ho's." Two days later, the organization posted this information on the Internet and sent out a bulk emailing to individual journalists and to the National Association of Black Journalists. Everyone in the liberal media jumped on the bandwagon - just as what occurred at Duke University. CBS Radio and MSNBC subsequently cancelled the Don Imus program.
