And skin-lightening is not just for blacks, but is a multi-cultural phenomenon, as this report in the NY Times suggests:

Dermatologists nationwide are seeing women of Hispanic and African descent, among others, with severe side effects…from the misuse of skin-lightening creams…But many others seek to lighten their entire face or large swatches of their body, a practice common in developing countries as disparate as Senegal, India and the Philippines, where it is promoted as a way to elevate one’s social standing.

And we have Harry Reid to thank for exposing this racist bias amongst Democrats, but we have Democrats and socialist around the world for exposing the pervasiveness of it all.  They NYT story goes on to say,

Moreover, it is not as if dark-skinned women are imagining a bias, said Dr. Glenn, who is president of the American Sociological Association. “Sociological studies have shown among African-Americans and also Latinos, there’s a clear connection between skin color and socioeconomic status. It’s not some fantasy. There is prejudice against dark-skinned people, especially women in the so-called marriage market.

Who knew that all I needed to do to improve my socio-economic status was to stay out of the sun!  If I had lived a life of leisure, perhaps I could have done this.  It would have limited my interaction with the rest of the world, forcing me to walk around like “bubble boy,” or cocooned like those people with the rare condition where even the smallest amount of sun is carcinogenic.  For all intents and purposes, getting sun is carcinogenic for blacks.making the sun somewhat of a racist!  The sun…conspiring to keep brothers down! 

Who knows what I could have achieved had I not grown up in the hot Texas sun.  I swear I was a very light child growing up, so much so that I actually wanted to be darker.  I could have “passed,” had it not been for my nappy hair.

I recall when my brother and I worked one summer for the son of the family who owned the ranch where we lived, and we were hired to cut trees in various clearings.  That summer was Africa hot, and we worked in the peak of the heat every day, shirtless.  I got so dark, that I didn’t recognize myself.  I peeled for the first time in my life, and panicked not knowing what was happening to me!  One of my white friends had to tell me what was happening, as I thought I had a dreaded disease.

On the blackness scale, I was “Alan Keyes black,” which is about a 9 out of 10 [Miles Davis is a 10 for those who may be wondering]. 

All the girls in Jr. High noticed that I was darker, but one actually told me that my color was…beautiful.  And I must admit, after I finished peeling, I did look healthy and frankly…AWESOME!  As the saying goes, “Once you go black…!”

Here’s the wrap:

I never looked back after that. I would never get that dark again, preferring to bounce between 6 and 7 versus the 9 I achieved that hot summer.  But little did I know the effect it would have during my potential big income producing years.

Now that I am bald, had I kept my lighter visage, I might actually be able to pass at this stage in my life. However I have learn—the hard way—that past a certain age, the skin takes on a life of its own. After all, the skin is the biggest organ…and apparently the baddest!  My skin has decided that between 6 and 7 is where I shall stay.

If I want to take my life in my own hands, I could pull a Michael Jackson and begin lightening my skin, in Mike’s case going from a 6 to a 1.  Not much future in that, and it has been linked to pedophilia!  Woody Allen is a 1 as well!

There is Sammy Sosa, who has gone from an 8 to a 3 on the blackness scale.  However Sosa has made a lot more money than I, so he is free to do as he wishes. I on the other hand am a slave to my skin.

As a black Conservative, one would think that with all the vitriol I take from the Left that I would by now have experimented with these new creams, and I would be as white as Bebe Neuwirth.  Yet, here I and other black Conservatives remain, proud of our culture, living in our own skin, and daring the sun not to shine on us.

I guess I will just ride out the rest of my life happy in the skin I’m in.

That’s my rant!

Biden getting news of Reid comment

Breaking news:  Joe Biden admitted to Johns Hopkins University Hospital after having a laughing fit at news of Reid’s comment regarding “light-skinned Obama with no Negro dialect!”

Finally somebody who said something more stupid than Biden, something science thought was an impossibility!  Biden stupidity was previously thought to be -273 degrees C…absolute zero! Not!

Reid quickly issued an apology, and Obama quickly accepted. Can’t have people analyzing the racism of Democrats now can we!  People might actually consider the Democrats history on the subject.  Better yet, perhaps Reid can be talked into switching parties, so Democrats can say Republican are the racists? 

What’s Harry Reid apologizing for anyway?!  He was right!  Like Bidenisms, Reid’s real crime was exposing the dirty little secret that everybody knows about white folks who voted for Obama…the Guilters!

In addtion to his incendiary comment, Reid is reported to have said in this article from Politico,

…throughout my career, from efforts to integrate the Las Vegas strip and the gaming industry to opposing radical judges and promoting diversity in the Senate, I have worked hard to advance issues important to African American community.

There Reid goes, telling America how many black friends he has!  I love say it!  “Black people…I TOLD you so,“ and I did in my book The BIG Black Lie! 

What have Reid and his Democrat Party done for blacks, except reintroduce slavery—new and improved!  Reid and the rest of the Democrats have indeed advanced issues important to blacks alright, if by advance you mean advanced blacks into a nuclear winter.

Reid and his racist cronies have blacks leading negatively in almost all cultural categories, e.g. high school graduation rates, college entrance rates, college graduation rates, men in prison, teenage pregnancy, abortion, and so on.  Reid et al support getting black folks just enough money and programs to stay home and stay stupid.  The UnGreat Society meets The Ingrate Society.

Democrats did opposed radical judges!  Democrats opposed radical Republican judges who wanted to end slavery and racism; promote individualism!  The last thing Democrats want are blacks who think for themselves, and that includes Obama.

Guilters voted for Obama for two reasons.  First, as Reid opined, Obama is a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect!  Translated to Guilter: 

“Obama is that  n*gger who doesn’t act like one.  He’s acceptable as long as he doesn’t try to date my daughter!”

Next and more importantly, the reason Guiliters wanted Obama as president is he could best sell the agenda of the Left to keep oppressing the disenfranchised—for the most part black folks—without the racist elite of the Democrats getting their fingers soiled.  Guilters were overjoyed to accept a light-skinned black with no Negro dialect…as long as his ideology fit the racist Democrat agenda.  Anybody think Obama would have gotten elected if he looked like his father or thought like Clarence Thomas?  Socialist please!  Oh H-i-l-l-a-r-y!

Obama’s message was no different than Jesse Jackson’s, another light-skinned Negro presidential wannabe.  Let’s examine the comparisons.

Both hail from Chicago.  Neither had the real credentials to be president.  Both are racists with skewed agendas, though admittedly Obama is farther left than Jackson.  Both have never run any company or organization that didn’t rely on the charity of others or the government. They’re practically twins!

Guilters flirted with Jackson and blacks, making both think Jackson could be president, though Jackson had a snowball’s chance in hell getting a significant part of the Guilter vote.Black Democrats flirted with Jackson, though many felt he was too “ethnic” to be president.  It is for this reason Jackson cried during Obama ‘Abomination.’  Jackson knew that the only difference between him and Obama, two poverty pimps is…the Negro dialect.

For Jackson, the Negro dialect is part of his DNA. He could not turn it on and off to suit the audience. Jesse talked in rhythm and rhyme, and with that staccato timbre that was the precedent to rap and hip hop. 

Put hope in yo brains, not dope in yo veins!…Amerca is a racis countra, uh run by white peepa, who… meck it impausible…fuh a BLACK MAN…to git ova.  Aurppatunity just does not eggzist…for peepa of kula in Amerca.

But Obama has talent! Though he speaks ‘white’ most of the time, and is fluent in Austrian, he finds the Negro dialect or “jive” when he speaks to silly Negros—Black people who voted for Obama, simply because he is black[i].  Obama was masterful at this during his campaign, because silly Negros would not accept the white part of Obama, unless they felt he was “down,” i.e. one of them.

This is because silly Negros are also the most racist black folks in America, no different from Reid and his ilk.  These blacks voted for Obama for the same reasons as Reid…because Obama has light skin and no Negro dialect…around whites! Silly Negros liked that Obama could fool whites, though it was they who were fooled.

Ironically, back in the day Obama would have been accused of “acting white” or “trying to pass,” by not having a Negro dialect.  And his attempts to act black—that’s all it is, an attempt—would have gotten him more than a few butt-kickings in the black community.  However, because silly Negros wanted a Messiah, regardless of whether he is a no-talent-no-Negro-dialect-having-metrosexual-Communst-sympathizing-narcissistic egomaniac!

Here’s the wrap:

Women Guilters were happy to see a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect that they could take home to Mother, and men Guilters needed a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect they could present to their clubs. 

Silly Negros needed no Negro dialect black man who could redeem them too. They needed a light-skinned black man with no Negro dialect to show that not all silly Negros are ghetto.  “See, you can be intelligent and have our point of view!” 

Indeed you can, when you are raised by Marxist, sex-crazed radicals like Frank Davis, and your influences are race-baiting pastors and Black Nationalists!  To put this simply, silly Negros are saying that black Conservatives are not the only smart blacks.  They may feel vindicated, but they were wrong!

Obama may be intelligent, but as my grandmother would say, “He ain’t got a lick of sense!”  Obama is a deep thinker, but his intellect is misguided and useful only in discussions of socialism.

In the end however, Harry Reid, the Guilters and silly Negros have done America a favor. They have set the color line for “acceptable blacks” among racists, something of which I was certainly unaware. We now know what it takes to rise above race issues for some people.  Thankfully Americans have indeed risen above race…Conservative Americans that is.   

As for the Guilters and silly Negros however remain the most racist group of Americans ever. But there is no reason for them to apologize for their way of thinking.  In their insane way what Guilters and black Democrats hearts are in the right place.  What they are saying is simple:  They wish black Democrats would act more like…black Conservatives!

That’s my rant!

Liberals are amazingly silent in speaking for Tiger Woods. Maybe they don’t quite know how to handle the major screw up of one of their own who appears wholesome, dare I say, “conservative!” Up to now, Tiger has played it by the book for the Left. Woods provided that glimmer of hope that the Left could be redeemed.

Early on Tiger declared himself a multi-racial person, to a degree denying his blackness, thus encompassing all people.  Earl Woods was half African-American, a quarter Chinese and a quarter American Indian, and Tiger’s mother Kultida is half Thai, a quarter Chinese and a quarter Dutch. Let’s see, this makes Tiger a quarter Chinese, a quarter black, a quarter Thai, an eighth American Indian, and an eight Dutch. Talk about your rainbow coalition!

The “power Left” , aka white elitist loved Tiger’s multi-cultural stance, however Tiger’s declaration angered black folks.  The racist elitists won, and Tiger was vindicated in the lamestream media.  He was allowed to be “multi-racial with no emphasis on being black.”  This distinction actually trumps the race card!

Tiger got back in the good graces of blacks by attending the Abomination of Obama, known to the Left as the Inauguration.  A number one showing up to support THE one.  Yet today, the poster child for ‘multi-racial with no emphasis on being black’ achievement has been left by the Left in his time of need.

When you consider that Liberal knucklehead Whoopi Goldberg was willing to give Roman Polanski the benefit of the doubt for raping a 13-year old girl, coming to the defense of Woods would have been a no brainer.  Perhaps Whoopi’s silence on this subject is based on the shellacking she received by the Left for dating Hollywood hunk, Ted Danson.  Steve Buscemi, perhaps; but Danson?! H-E-double crooked socks NO!  Jewish name notwithstanding, a “fugly” black chick like Goldberg simply cannot cross the color barrier with a bona fide Hollywood hunk!  Socialist please!

And where is Reverend “Baby Daddy”?  This is a perfect scenario for Jesse Jackson to offer Woods his counsel, and some obviously much needed spiritual advice.  Jackson was “Johnny on the spot” when Bill Clinton was caught in The Lewinski Incident, parlaying Clinton’s mea culpa into an ambassadorship to The Dark Continent.  Who knows, by supporting Tiger in this time of crisis, Jackson might have replaced Stevie Williams as Tiger’s caddy—a very lucrative position.  But Jackson has remained uncharacteristically silent.  I guess as long as the indiscretion is not inter-racial, Reverend Baby Daddy will allow himself to chime in, as he did with Clinton.  Perhaps Jackson has no experience with inter-racial infidelities, as Jackson’s own dalliance was with a sista; the rumor is that sista wasn’t the only one, however.

As Cleavon Little said in Blazing Saddles, “Where da white women at?”  For Jackson, there are none.  He wouldn’t dare have “gone outside of his race” to mess around. Because Jackson has no interest in white “womens.”  Or does he?

Ex-president Bill Clinton could have stepped up, come to Tiger’s aid, provided guidance to the young brotha. Yet Clinton has abandoned one of his own, if you consider that many black folks considered Clinton the first black president.  Clinton too has left Tiger high and dry, subject to the whims of public scrutiny.  Clinton hasn’t even invoked the Liberal spin machine to help form opinion about Tiger, turn Tiger’s bad into a good.  Like all things Democrat, the real first black president, who happens to be fish-belly white has abandoned Tiger faster than Rosie O’Donnell can eat a chicken wing.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed on this black man that Clinton only messed around with white women. For his loyalty to the Democrat policy of staying true to his race, the Left stood firmly with Clinton, protecting him as a mother bear would her cubs. They said things like, “His private life is his own affair!” And “It’s a vast right-wing conspiracy to bring a brother down.”

And who’s helping Elin?  Hillary hasn’t run to Tiger’s wife Elin to provide solace, and more importantly to teach her how to parlay this incident into a faux political career.  To make a silk purse from a pig’s ear.  Shouldn’t this be Elin’s time to ride the coattail of Tiger, maybe enter the LPGA?  So what Elin doesn’t play golf! Hillary was a housewife turned Senator for goodness sake!  Now she is 4^th in line for the presidency!

Here’s the wrap:

Tiger broke the first rule of Democrat racism:  Don’t step out of your race…boy! Tiger had MANY races to choose from.  People may think I’m being facetious, but ask yourself these questions:  Would Clinton have been elected if he were married to a black woman?  Would Obama have been elected if Michelle were white? Of course not! In the case of Obama, the Guilters wouldn’t have felt quite so guilty.  For blacks, this would have been Obama’s Tiger scenario.

Black racists are willing to overlook your infidelities, rally behind you and be your most vehement supporters, just as they did Clinton… as long as you honor the Democrat racist code and remain within your race.  Guilters feel the same.  With all Tiger’s nationalities he had many chances to avoid the wrath of the Left.

The irony is that no blacks got hurt by any of this.  The real victim here is Stevie Williams, Tiger’s caddie…the kiwi white guy.  Stevie could lose about $1M, if Tiger decides to take the most expensive punishment for infidelity in the history of man by skipping golf this year…$180M.  Then again, the stimulus could kick in and save Tiger’s and Stevie’s jobs, so there is “hope.” 

To think that for the Left all of this bad press could have been avoided—if Tiger had just chosen ONE black mistress.

That’s my rant!

My recent article in American Thinker.

The question was recently posed to me, “Do you think Obama is a racist?”  I answered, “Obama is the best kind of racist to whites, but the worst kind of racist to blacks.”  My questioner was perplexed.

I began by explaining that Obama’s racism against whites is upfront, in your face racism, that he discussed in his book 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.

I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.

Obama learned this racist ideology during his formative years from his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a self-admitted communist and sexual deviant, and most certainly a racist—the kind that blacks say cannot exist.

As Robin of Berkeley in an article in American Thinker suggested, “Davis blamed racism and capitalism for all of the problems in society and instructed young Barry, ‘Don’t fully trust white people,’ and ‘Black people have a reason to hate.’”

In his defense, the book was written prior to Obama’s emergence onto the scene in 2004.  Perhaps he had formulated new ideas on whites, and had stopped “nursing that pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against [my] mother’s race?” Or not.

Shameless plug:  Buy my Amazon Best-Selling book, The Big Black Lie, as it is a satirical look at how Democrats trick blacks into voting for them!

Absent the tutelage of Davis, Obama’s next biggest “non-influence,” as it were, came in his twenty-plus year association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright.  Obama sold his racism to whites during his presidential campaign, saying that he didn’t really listen the hate-speech wrongfully labeled “sermons” at his so-called church.  This was a “church” that practiced Cone’s Black Liberation Theology—a “theology” that if the word “black” were replaced with “white,” the “church” would have undoubtedly been considered a haven for the Aryan Brotherhood.  The Acton Institute reports:

The echoes of Cone’s theology bleed through the now infamous, anti-Hilary excerpt by Rev. Wright. Clinton is among the oppressing class (“rich white people”) and is incapable of understanding oppression (“ain’t never been called a n-gg-r”) but Jesus knows what it was like because he was “a poor black man” oppressed by “rich white people.” While Black Liberation Theology is not mainstream in most black churches, many pastors in Wright’s generation are burdened by Cone’s categories which laid the foundation for many to embrace Marxism and a distorted self-image of the perpetual “victim.”

Since Obama didn’t pay attention to Wright’s rants, as Obama said, [pp] “I missed a lot of Sundays.” Liberal whites gave him yet another pass. 

Post election Obama continues to flaunt his racism in the face of whites by loading his “team” with black racists. His first appointment was a noted Black Nationalist, Van Jones, as Green Czar.  Appointing a Black Nationalist to this position by Obama would be like Bill Clinton appointing a Klansman to a similar position.  At least with the latter appointment, the Left might have feigned outrage.

John Bracey sketches his interpretation of black nationalism: [Published circa 1969.]

First, Black America exists in a state of colonial subordination to White America. Black America is a colony. It is and has always been subjected to political, economic, social, and cultural exploitation by White America. These circumstances define Black America’s “underdevelopment” as a nation. Political decisions are made by whites outside the black community; no black bourgeoisie with any meaningful economic power has been allowed to develop, and the major vehicles for cultural expression such as schools, radio, television, and the printed media are under white control.

One would think that with BET and The WB, and the all-black radio stations that you can find in any major city that there is no longer a need for Black Nationalists like Van Jones, or a Black Nationalist movement.  However, no sooner was Van Jones appointed, we were treated to the racist styling of Mark Lloyd, his most famous quip being, “…white people need to relinquish their power to others.”  Others being “non-whites.”

As for Obama’s racism against blacks, you don’t have to be a genius to understand it. However it is easier to understand if you are not a product of government schools.  Obama’s racism against blacks is much more subtle, though exponentially more insidious.

Obama actually believes he helps blacks through his policies, when in fact the outcome devastates blacks. A good example is education.

Blacks recognize almost universally that education is the key to escaping the “cycles” of poverty, and other ills plaguing the black community. 

Obama’s first racist act as president was to remove the voucher program that Bush had established in DC, and a program that Democrats vote against overwhelmingly.  A program, which was producing proven positive results, was gone — and black children in DC were relegated to socialized schools in crime and drug-infested neighborhoods.  Simply put, why give black children the choice to opt out of the indoctrination? 

Here is how one Liberal organization interpreted Obama’s actions:

Obama and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan have expressed their clear opposition to voucher subsidies for religious and other private schools and their support for a strong public school system. This is a sharp contrast to the Bush administration, which lobbied relentlessly for vouchers, imposed a voucher scheme on the District of Columbia and even held a last-minute conference to push for a government bail-out of financially troubled inner-city Catholic schools.

Obama thinks so highly of the public schools in DC (and Chicago), he put his children in private school.

There are many other examples of these train wreck policies of Liberals, and particularly with this administration—an administration that had poor blacks believing that Obama was Santa Claus.  As with most policies implemented by Liberals, the real trickle-down impact ends up costing blacks more, making them that much more dependent on the government…the end game orchestrated by then Senator and racist Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson, when he commented in 1957:

These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.

The first black president’s policies marginalize blacks.  It is the cruelest sort of racism as it robs blacks of hope, instead of inspiring it.  Blacks were left with the hope that Obama would redistribute the wealth from creators of wealth to those who would gladly take something for nothing.

The President, voted for by overwhelming numbers of blacks and guilty whites, has likely been the most destructive force in racial politics since his fellow racist Democrat Bull Connor.  And what Obama seeks for blacks—socialism or the leveling of the playing field—has not benefitted blacks anywhere on the planet. 

On blacks’ ancestral continent, there is not one country that provides a beacon of hope. Africa is where one would think Obama could prove that his policies would work for blacks.  Yet, in Africa today there are wars and rumors of wars.  The outcome only depends on the “cide” you are on…infanticide, homicide, fratricide, or genocide.  Dictators are pillaging the countries they should be serving, and the African people have nothing to show for it, except abject poverty and oppression.

In socialist countries like France, Sweden, and others that have representative black populations, there are no black leaders now or emerging.  The fact is that place where black people thrive best is the United States of America.  American boast more multi-millionaire black athletes, entertainers, business moguls and so on than any country in the world, all due to capitalism.

Here’s the wrap:

Is Obama a racist, off course he is! But like I say about racists, most just need to see what the other side is like.  Obama only knows conservatism anecdotally, as he has never had a conservative friend.  He only understands one side—the racist radical side. This is why sanity appears to be radical to him, why patriots are persecuted, achievers neutered.

A true conservative would never befriend a person like Obama.  Obama needs to be surrounded by sycophants and suck ups, or radical leaders whom he can admire.  My hope is that Obama will actually get to know a few conservatives, black and white.  Then maybe, just maybe he will understand how he is both the best and worst kind of racist.

That’s my rant!

In Missouri recently there were many races that had only one person running…a Democrat.  Where do Republicans not bother running? In heavily black districts.  Republicans have all but given up in these areas, because they have two chances to win: Slim and none. 

The outcome is the Democrats are running amuck.

Recently Missouri State Representative T. D. El Amin pleaded guilty to soliciting and accepting a $2100 bride from a gas station owner on the north side (the black part of town) of St. Louis. The bribe was in exchange for helping the man get city hall to stop a series of “nuisance inspections.” Nuisance inspections prevent things like the ripping off of the consumer from unscrupulous gas station owners, as this article explains:

“Most inspections are unannounced,” said Lazier. “We just show up within a 12 month period and say here we are.”  We’ve learned gas stations are legally allowed to cheat you 6 cubic inches, or a bit less than a half a cup for every 5 gallons of gas pumped. Beyond that, pumps get red tagged and can’t sell fuel until they’re fixed.

Without these inspections, unscrupulous gas station owners every year can pocket millions of dollars by cheating the consumer.  So what El Amin did was represent the predominantly black constituents of North St. Louis by allowing a business to cheat them!  A Democrat brother helping brothers! 

But black people in St. Louis won’t take a lesson from this. They will continue to vote Democrat, saying things like, “Republicans wouldn’t be no betta.” 

Shameless Plug:  If you like what I do here, consider buying my book, The BIG Black Lie, an Amazon Best Seller! Back to the blog…

Examine how the Democrats go from prostituting their constituents locally to the national level, as they did with the mortgage crisis.

From this report you will see that the trillion dollar mortgage crisis was allowed to happen at the price of a mere $1.1M in political contributions.  Though Chris Dodd and John Kerry are #1 and #2 respectively, on the basis of who collected the most money in the shortest amount of time, one Barack Hussein Obama was the largest recipient ($105, 849) of these bribes…contributions, I mean.  By the way, Hillary Clinton is 4^th on the list.

Doing the math on this, you can see that about $1M in bribes…contributions, gets you $1T.  Now THAT’S a return-on-investment that would make any investor proud!  And the Democrats have the nerve to criticize Big Oil.  At least the profits of Big Oil serves many Americans in the form of 401(k), dividends, and so on.  The profits of Obama’s socialist government serve a handful of hand-picked Democrat Party elitists.

Interestingly, it took only $105K to get Obama to sign on the dotted line.  This should answer why Obama needs TRILLIONS to pay back all his contributors.  He was bought for chump change…pardon the pun.

But what’s a guy to do, when he’s already tapped out the treasury?  Find another sacred cow, Silly!  The sacred cow is healthcare, and sacred cows make the best burgers! 

There is conservatively $1.7T annually that can be robbed from healthcare.  That’s enough for Obama to pay back the plantation owners, i.e. the racist Democrats who are pimping the half-black part of Obama to do what they have been doing for years:  fleecing the American taxpayer and oppressing blacks. Not only are they selling out the American taxpayer, Democrats demagogue the issue, make it racial, then blame Republicans:  “I’m just cleaning up the mess made by my predecessor,” proclaims Obama.

When questioned, Democrats ignore us, and call us unpatriotic because we won’t continue to “invest” in government.  We are labeled extremists for asking where our money is going and for demanding accountability.  Who the heck do We the People think we are?

Here’s the wrap:

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  The Democrats control everything these days, with the epicenters being America’s largest cities.  In many cases in local and state elections, the Democrats have no Republican challenger.  The outcome is cities infested with crime, the worst schools, and corruption rivaling most third-world nations.  But black people don’t care about being screwed…just make sure it’s by a Democrat!

In Missouri, T. D. El Amin sold out his own people, the black people of St. Louis for $2100.  He had no qualms about screwing black people, and why should he.  He was only doing to blacks what Democrats of all colors have been doing to black people for decades.  Black people don’t mind, as long as they get the table scraps the Democrats promised dating back to LBJ’s The Great Society.  Blacks get welfare, just not real opportunity.

At the national level Obama’s culture of corruption promises black people The Promise Land.  He pits black against white, rich against poor, in an effort to continue to Democrats’ strategy of dealing with blacks.  In the end black people end up with what Democrats have delivered to us for decades–slavery in a different form. And just like slavery began in America, it’s Africans selling us out.

That’s my rant!

If you like my musings, please consider investing in my book, The BIG Black Lie. It’s getting rave reviews, and I guarantee you will like it!

I don’t want to be completely heartless, as I do have sympathy for those who will miss Teddy Kennedy. I’m just not one of those people. For me Teddy Kennedy was just another spoiled, alcoholic, liberal fat cat, who got away with murder.

Today however, the news will report that a great man died. They will say how he was a wonderful legislator, and that he “reached across the aisle” in a bi-partisan effort to help all Americans. You will hear things like dedicated father, family member, friend, patriot, American, and a host of other platitudes that Kennedy frankly doesn’t deserve.

Kennedy was good at one thing: Being a Kennedy! Actually, he was just ok at that.

Teddy Kennedy was a relic of a bygone era—an icon who never should have been an icon. When you really analyze what Kennedy accomplished in his life and career, the answer is nothing except being a Kennedy. In truth, Kennedy’s career was really about one quintessential thing: Keeping Democrats in power—by whatever means necessary.

Kennedy literally had NO idea what it is like to be black or any concept of being poor. Teddy was born into a life of luxury, and I’m not talking “nouveau riche, don’t blink when you buy a Ferrari.” Kennedy money is “don’t blink when you buy an island!” Teddy was handed everything, having lost the only thing his family could not steal—a second time—the presidency. Even with his Kennedy lineage, Teddy couldn’t earn that.

When people speak of the Kennedys, you hear things like “The Kennedy Compound,” “Camelot,” “legacy.” Let’s examine that legacy briefly.

Kennedy’s father, Joseph was recalled as Ambassador to Britain, because he was deemed to be too sympathetic to the Nazis. I’d say the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree on that one. And in case you missed the earlier reference, it was Papa Joe who stole the election from Nixon, so the Kennedy political dynasty could begin.

Next and most notable Kennedy son, JFK voted against the Republican sponsored 1957 Civil Rights Act, because supporting the rights of Negroes would have hurt his chances to defeat Nixon in 1960. Then came Democrat icon Bobby Kennedy who said that he wouldn’t lose any sleep worrying about the plight of the Negro. Finally there is Teddy…”the other white meat” Kennedy.

Teddy Kennedy’s purported legacy was devoted health care, as he told the Boston Globe recently:

“He remained determined to fulfill what he called “the cause of my life,” providing health insurance to all Americans. He helped draft legislation to overhaul the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare system.

Kennedy’s interest in healthcare dated from his son’s bout with cancer in the 1970s. More recently, he cited his own illness as he made a case for reform.

“I’ve benefited from the best of medicine, but I’ve also witnessed the frustration and outrage of patients and doctors alike as they face the challenges of a system that shortchanges millions of Americans,” he wrote in a May 28, 2009, issue of the Boston Globe.”

To show you the hypocritical nature of Teddy, recently he wanted the law changed to the advantage of the Democrats, urging Massachusetts lawmakers to change state law so the governor, if necessary, could quickly fill a Senate vacancy as the chamber debates the contentious healthcare issue.

Interestingly enough Kennedy had fought against this same change in the law when Republican Mitt Romney was governor. Whatever it takes to keep the Democrats large and in charge, and oppressing!

Here’s the wrap:

It is ironic that Kennedy died of brain cancer, since I contend that he really didn’t have a brain. If he did however, I would suggest his brain be studied for the defect of liberalism. Maybe because liberalism infected a Kennedy, science will try to cure it.

As for Kennedy’s legacy, he will have to accept the great Democrat legacy of the destruction of the black family, thus the black community. Thankfully for America, Kennedy was unable to accomplish his dream for healthcare in America, or it would affectionately been known as “DeathCare” by now. In using his own illness to showcase American healthcare, Kennedy said what we already know. He “benefitted from the best of medicine, but…”

With Democrats, there is always that “but,” at least when they know they can profit politically or financially from “but“.

America should know that by Kennedy’s standards healthcare in America is broken. With all that money he had, doctors were not able to give him eternal life! He was a Kennedy for goodness sake! Maybe he just forgot to ask ObaMessiah for eternal life?

Yesterday a great man died indeed, somewhere. And the media won’t report it.

That’s my rant!

“For the first time since 1971, there will be no African-Americans serving on the nine-person board [UM Board of Curators]. Each hails from one of the state’s nine congressional districts, and all require confirmation by the state Senate. There also is a non-voting student representative.

The only African-American curator that had been on the board,  Cheryl Walker, is officially off now that Nixon on Tuesday named her successor, former state Sen. Wayne Goode of Normandy, who is white. Both reside in the racially diverse 1st congressional district, where past African-American curators often — but not always – have resided. (All but one have come from the St. Louis area; the exception was one African-American curator, Angela Bennett, from Kansas City.)”

It’s just as well that Nixon put a stop to black representation at the university level, since blacks have one of the lowest college and university entry rates in America.  That’s certainly not Nixon’s fault.  It is black peoples’ fault for continuing to support Democrats like Nixon, however.  It’s pretty clear that Democrats care more about the teacher’s union, than they do about educating blacks!

For the few lucky blacks who do manage to dodge the Democrat gauntlet of underachievement established for blacks and who manage to enter higher education in Missouri, it is refreshing to know that there will be nobody to represent them.  Nobody to represent what unfortunately are the unique problems for blacks in education, like chronic underachievement.

What’s the big deal anyway?  White Democrats have proven that they know more about “the black condition” than blacks. They must, since they get 95% of the black vote, the reward being for black achievement. Blacks lead, per capita, the highest high school dropout rates, lowest high school graduation rates, lowest college entrance rates, and lowest college graduation rates. Democrats in Missouri have done such a great job in the St. Louis school system that it ranks right up there with San Quentin, Ralway, and Pelican Bay[1]–some of America’s best penitentiaries.

Jay Nixon is demonstrating what white Democrat politicians have showcased for years:  Total disdain for blacks.  Nixon happily accepts the black vote during election time—knowing that vote is a given—then completely disregard blacks after the polls close.

Missouri blacks don’t get a pass on this. Blacks shout how important education is, and when we lose representation for education…crickets.  But the silence is only because Nixon is one of so-called “good guys”—a Democrat. 

Democrat icon LBJ, founder of The Great Society conspired in Congress, “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

I’d say that LBJ has done his part in giving blacks, “just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”  Further, I’d say that Nixon is taking a page right out of LBJ’s playbook.

Democrats like Nixon have proven their non-commitment to education, as described in this article in STL Today:

“Missouri is one of four holdouts against a nationwide push to build common standards for reading and math in U.S. schools.

Such national standards, advocates say, would hold all states equally accountable, allow students moving between states to arrive in new schools prepared to learn, boost school performance across the country, and make the U.S. more competitive in the global market.

A spokesman for Gov. Jay Nixon said the governor was not necessarily against national standards. Rather, the issue has a lot to do with timing.”

Translated:  Missouri does not want to compare education to the rest of the country.  They certainly don’t want to compare the education of Missouri education for blacks!  The education system in America for blacks couldn’t be worse if it were designed by the KKK!  Wait a minute…it WAS!

Here’s the wrap:

If Nixon had been a Republican, the fact that he doesn’t have a black representing education would be all over black radio stations, and likely would be national news.  There is no such outcry, because Democrats have bought and paid for their black voters.

Republicans have a different approach and can be proud of our part in the struggle for black freedom.  Like most people who do things for the right reason and not for political expediency, we don’t go around bragging about simply doing what is right. Perhaps we should.

Republicans do not put a limit on black achievement, and know that blacks possess limitless potential.  

Republicans have supported school choice initiatives, an initiative overwhelmingly supported by blacks. Democrats vote against school choice overwhelmingly, choosing to support the teachers’ union instead.  Who can blame them? There’s money in uneducated black people, and look who controls the classrooms!

I can see why Governor Nixon didn’t want black representation on the University of Missouri’s Board of Curators.  Can’t have blacks witnessing first-hand how the Democrats have destroyed and are continuing to destroy the black community with substandard schools and education. 

Nixon’s move is reminiscent of a time in history when Democrats forbade blacks from learning. Like I said, with friends like Jay Nixon, black people in Missouri don’t need any enemies.

That’s my rant!

The White House BeerFest is over and the “teachable moment” has ended. I’m curious as to exactly what America was actually taught?

In what was sold as the most transparent administration in the modern era, Obama’s teachable moment had a “gag order.”  The conversation sealed until the next millennia, or some unspecified time when Amerika can be graced with Obama’s “words.”  Perhaps the people of the year 3000 will get to hear this profound audio, and know how to deal with race issues, issues created when a puppet dictator decides to weigh in on issues “above his pay grade.”  Until then, the rest of us will have to just rely on common sense and know that smart presidents simply ignore the non-event of cops doing their jobs.

“This meeting made possible by the stupidity of the Harvard elitists—Great minds ruined by Higher Education!” – The Black Sphere

Because of Obama’s meddling, BeerFest was held on the White House lawn, where America was treated—in video, sans audio— to Obama attempting to look like the Average Joe. In fact, in an effort to achieve “balance,” “Below Average” Joe Biden was present.  Three elitist versus one cop…the elitists were grossly understaffed!

As for Biden’s presence, well it certainly explains the gag order.  Joe says the darndest things sober! So imagine what the first black Vice President would have said in an alcohol induced stupor?

“The President got unclean on this deal. Barack screwed the pooch!  I don’t think he has a Chinaman’s chance to get out of this one. I mean the jig is up!  He Jap-slapped himself on this deal!  I’m getting hungry here. Can somebody find us a Mexican to make a run to Taco Bell or an Indian to make a donut run? What…what’d I say?!”

From what we were told, there were no apologies issued by either side.  Obama said little, as he was on his Blackberry changing the internet reporting of the incident. Black Harvard professors would never admit to being wrong, despite eye-witness reports of Gate’s bombastic behavior.  Crowley had nothing to apologize for, evident by his mere presence at the White House.  Black racists like Obama don’t invite you to the show, unless there is something to be gained for them. 

Watching the video of Beer-A-Palooza was difficult for me, as I felt sympathy for Crowley.  It was like he was invited to watch the Superbowl with Jimmy Johnson, and found himself at a Harvard lecture on

“Racism in the New Millenium and Its Impact on the Dichotomy of the American Psyche in the 21^st Century and the Political Ramifications of Bi-Racial Pontification – A Teachable Moment” – Professor Barack Hussein Obama, Harvard J.D.

More like a Twilight Zone moment, where Crowley enters the scene, and Obama, Biden, and Gates are discussing Nietzsche, who said:

“All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.” Well said, Nietzsche!

Here’s the wrap:

Obama wants this story to go away.  This situation exposes Obama’s stupidity on many levels. 

He chimed in on a situation where truly smart people would have simply said, “I’m not sure, but I trust the justice system will handle things appropriately.”  But Obama didn’t, because he saw this as a “teachable moment.”  He would teach America how whites have oppressed black people, and the role cops play by racial profiling and abusing their power.

There was that silly 911 tape, and eye-witnesses. Then the annoying BIG union of Boys in Blue, who don’t like it when they do their jobs, and are criticize for it. Finally, Obama is finding the hypnotic effect of his words wearing off.

As for lesson learned, I’d say Crowley learned that being waterboarded would be more fun than attending a beer bash with two racist Harvard elitists and a “Below Average” Joe.

That’s my rant!

Bloomberg's inspirational muse, Al Gore - inventor of the internet

If you like this blog, consider investing in The BIG Black Lie, my new book. It will make you laugh at liberals, “fa sho!”

You have to admire the insane genius of RINOs.  I am referring to the logic of New York Mayor Bloomberg deciding to give homeless New Yorkers a one-way ticket out of The Big Apple.

Apparently it costs about $36,000 per homeless person for shelter, and $1000 a week overall for the city to fund a homeless person.  $52,000 a year! So offering the homeless one-way “vacations” provides a sound financial compromise, according to Bloomberg.  Let’s ship our problems to other states…or countries!

Here is an excerpt from The Globe article:

“Since 2007, the city has quietly arranged airfare or bus tickets – one-way – for 550 homeless families. They have been sent as far away as India, Russia and Peru, although the bulk have been dispatched southward, to Florida and Puerto Rico…”

“Hey Honey, round up the younguns! I’m finally gonna take the family to Puerto Rico…pack EVERYTHING!”

If only other states and countries would provide reciprocation, we could have a world-wide timeshare arrangement for the homeless?! This would work even better if Bloomberg would just provide a fraction of that $52,000 as pocket change for the New York expatriates.

Based on 2003 data from the World Bank, the average per capita income for these vacation destinations is as follows:

• India – $2,880
• Russian Federation – $8,920
• Peru – $5,090
• Puerto Rico – $16,320

Those figures are a far cry from the $52 grand it costs New York.  It may surprise you to learn that what it costs for NY to pay for its poor would be on a per capita basis (2003) the second highest income in the world–second only to Luxembourg!  No wonder people are immigrating to the United States. 

There are 132 countries whose average per capita incomes are less than $10,000 a year, and amongst those 46 of them have per capita incomes less than $2,000 a year. How do you think they would view America’s “poor?”  Nowadays, immigrants come to America to get rich—on welfare!  And why not, when you can live for free, then get a paid vacation to Peru or Russia to boot?  Or how about sunny Florida?

Because you don’t have to leave the US to see what $52,000 can get you. The average US per capita income was $37,500 in 2003.  So if NYC were to just send their homeless to other states, along with $37,500, they could still save an average of $15K per person.

For the average homeless family of four in NYC, there is essentially $208,000 in your spending account. According to the Administration for Children and Families report, that level of income would be more than twice that of any other US state median income for a family of four ($70,354), with the highest being New Jersey ($94,441).

Here’s the wrap:

If you need more evidence of the War on Achievement – Era of Brown Underwear, then you’re as sharp as a cafeteria meatball.  The homeless in New York theoretically live better than ALL the world, except Luxembourg, and better than ALL other Americans, excepting none.  So if it cost $52,000 to be homeless in NY City, imagine what it cost to not to be homeless there?!

Democrats run cities into bankruptcy, and so do RINOs.  They create poverty, disguised as redistribution.  As for the novel idea of redistributing a city’s homeless to other locations to save money, I’m just surprised that big cities in California or Massachusetts didn’t think of it first. 

If they keep these kinds of ideas coming, don’t be surprised if these Democrat strongholds get the bright idea that freeing prisoners will save tax dollars?

Blue state homeless and released convicts…coming to a city near you!

Race pimps like Obama believe that the race card should be used at every opportunity.  It is necessary to remind America just how cruel America has been to blacks—and always will be according to liberals—regardless of the subject matter.

Thus, a discussion of healthcare begs to segue into a discussion of race, particularly when a white Cambridge cop oppresses a black Harvard elite.  As Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste…”  And for the Democrats, blaming Republicans for racism is the most serious of potential crises—they can’t possibly let the real truth of the Democrats’ racism leak out.  That would be a crisis of monumental proportions!

In less than six months, Obama has advanced the discussion of race back to the 1950’s. For the historical purist you may find our time reminiscent of when Democrats were oppressing blacks unfettered, only this time it’s all inclusive—it includes anybody who dares go against the liberal establishment.  At this pace, racial “devolution will regress back to the Wilson era and Democrats were calling themselves Progressives!

Another reason to make a routine 911 call about a house invasion into a full-blown racial conflagration is Obama saw the Gates incident as an opportunity to regain some of the emotion that he has been losing in the black community. Nothing rallies blacks more than an attack on whites.  An attack on the “establishment,” which in this case was a “racist cop,” well this is second only to attacking rich, white Republican men…or Sarah Palin. Everybody just trying to keep a Martha’s Vineyard vacationing, highly-compensated race-baiting Harvard professor down.  What an example Gates offered for Obama to show black people (and white meddling Democrats) that racism is still alive and well, and that police are one of the chief instigators. It should be evident to us all that Gates obviously had NO chance to succeed in life, because of the oppression of white police officers and “the man.”

The good news is that Obama is finding that like Alford proved to Barbara Boxer, conservatives are fed up with the discussion always being waged in order to demonize us. Conservatives are slowly awakening to understand that there is such a thing as reverse racism.  In the Gates case, the facts are proving that the police officer was the victim and Gates was indeed the perpetrator. 

Realizing this, Obama and the complicit media have now shifted the arguments to racial profiling and abuse of power.  I agree…Gates did both!  The reason the argument has morphed is the case on its merits reeks of nothing more than Democrat elitism.  The new strategy is to deflect, then attack. 

So there is a new change in our lexicon.  Now neighbors seeing two black men “jimmying” another neighbor’s home is defined as “profiling.”   Normal people just consider “black,” as adjectives to describe the potential perpetrators of the potential crime. After all, it wasn’t two Asian men jimmying the door, in what appeared to be a home invasion. It was supposedly “two black men” attempting to get into a home.  Lo and behold, that exactly what it was! 

What of the discussion of “being vigilant and good neighbors?” I’d say this neighbor was a good Samaritan who was aiding the Cambridge police, and helping his neighbor.  That neighbor was saying to potential crooks targeting that neighborhood, “Stay out, because our neighborhood watch is on guard.” 

Here’s the wrap:

There is no potential crisis in a discussion around “good citizenship.”  But there is a potential crisis in exposing the Democrats’ dirty little secret.   Despite the fact that America has elected a black man to the highest office in the land, and what has at least in the past been the most powerful office in the world, Obama still wants blacks to feel inferior.

In an effort to put the genie back in the bottle, Obama has invited the police officer and Gates to “have a beer” at the White House.   Broker peace to the firestorm of his own creation.  More like Obama is still searching for his way out of the rat hole.

Now you may be thinking that “…racism is not a big deal, Kev, and it’s a stretch to say that the Democrats are afraid of race being put back on them.”  To you I say, Obama could be dealing with Korean missiles, Iranian nuclear facilities, the economy, or a host of other more pressing issues.  Instead he is trying to spin this discussion from black, racist, Harvard elitist’s attempt to intimidate a white police officer, to a discussion of racial profiling and abuse of power—the cop’s potential issues.

You won’t see this discussion be about racism or Gates’ attempt to ruin the career of an officer doing his job by pulling the race card.  There will be no discussion of how black Ivy League elites have replaced the white bourgeois of the 1950’s, and how society plans on dealing with them.

Finally, shouldn’t the president have better things to do, than to broker a beerfest over something like this? Sure…if this wasn’t a potential crisis! And the crisis is Democrats don’t want America to explore their racism…past and present!

That’s my rant!
