On March 20th 2012 ABC News, Matt Gutman and Benjamin Crump introduced America to a very specific person.   They called her “Dee Dee”.

Dee Dee was said to be a 16-year-old girlfriend, “puppy love girlfriend”, “minor child”, of a notorious headline story surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Dee Dee a distraught “girlfriend” who was “on the phone” with Trayvon during his encounter with George Zimmerman.  A girlfriend since “kindergarten” who was so emotionally distraught at the shooting she had to be hospitalized during the weekend of the funeral and unable to attend services.
Only there was a slight problem.
There was no “Dee Dee”.  She was a complete fabrication – she did not exist.  She, as she was described to exist, was a lie.
Everything said about her was totally constructed to sell a narrative and advance a false proposition.   The character was constructed by Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, and journalist Matt Gutman (ABC) sold her story to the world.
Everyone believed it, everyone.
The truth was only discovered, but brutally ignored a year and a half later, during the trial.
Dee Dee was actually Rachel Jeantel.   She wasn’t 16, she was 18.  She wasn’t a minor, nor was she a “girlfriend since kindergarten”.  Trayvon met Rachel on Feb 5th 2012, at her birthday party, and had only known her for 3 weeks.   Rachel was never at a hospital, and did not attend the funeral -not because she was sick- but because she barely knew Trayvon.
The Persona of “Dee Dee”, was a total fraud known not only to the Martin Family -who continued the fraud- but also known to the State Prosecutors who were fixated on taking a transparently innocent man to trial.   The attorney’s, the prosecutors, and the State of Florida knew it was all a lie.   ABC News also knew it was a lie, but they said nothing.
Eventually the motive for her construction became obvious.   The character of “DeeDee” became the entire premise behind which George Zimmerman was arrested less than three weeks later.   This, despite the fact that local law enforcement was not allowed to speak to, see, interview or even know the identity of this “ear witness” girlfriend.  Her construct was then used by various media and grievance advocates to support their contentions.
Again, just to emphasize, Dee Dee was a fictional character.  She did not exist.   At all.
Yet somehow, because of the media reporting, millions upon millions of interested people bought the entire story and framed their opinions around the portrayal. (more…)

DETROIT (WWJ) – After a class action lawsuit filed against the city of Detroit, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund says that recent water shutoffs to Detroit residents were racially motivated.

Veronica Joice with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund says, “That (the shutoffs are) being done in a discriminatory fashion; and they should at least take a look at whether there’s a better way to do this that doesn’t affect the most vulnerable citizens — the majority of whom are African American here in Detroit.”
Attorney Alice Jennings, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of Detroit residents, said it’s a known fact that there are corporations that owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city of Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
“These companies are basically Caucasian companies,” Jennings said. “The folks who are being cut off are almost one hundred percent African American.”

Redistribution of intellectual effort.   No, this is not a joke – unfortunately.  If you earn an “A” and you are white or Asian, you need to have your grade lowered so a minority grade can be raised if lower.

WISCONSIN – A new policy at the University of Wisconsin – Madison states that good grades should be distributed equally among students of different races.


The policy, named the “Framework for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence,” calls for “proportional participation of historically underrepresented racial-ethnic groups at all levels of an institution, including high status special programs, high-demand majors, and in the distribution of grades.”
UW – Madison professor W. Lee Hansen wrote about his concerns with the policy in a piece published Wednesday. (more…)

“our people”?   Hmmm, where have we heard that before?  Oh yes, that’s right:

….in the mind of a hyphenated progressive, there’s always an adjective that precedes the word “American”.  I digress….

(Via Breitbart) On Saturday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a “down payment” to the Hispanic community before more grants of amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as “generous and broad” as he can to “stop the deportation of our people each and every day.”
“You gave us a down payment when you freed 600,000 DREAMers from deportation,” Gutierrez said. “Now it is time for the president in the United States… [to] free the Mom and Dads of the DREAMers. And to go further. Be broad and expansive and generous.”  (read more)

WHITE HOUSE – Top White House officials had an hour-long meeting with a group of scholars and activists calling for the inclusion of girls of color in President Obama’s signature racial justice program known as My Brother’s Keeper.
The meeting included the Rev. Al Sharpton, who has championed MBK, and top activists and academics who signed a letter criticizing the initiative for focusing on boys and young men of color without a corollary for girls of color.
Sharpton, reached via e-mail, described the meeting as “constructive.”
A White House official sent She The People this readout from the meeting: (more…)

NEW YORK – In his new full-length documentary film, “There’s No Place Like Utopia,” Joel Gilbert found Peggy Joseph, the Florida voter who became infamous during the 2008 presidential campaign for saying Barack Obama would “pay for my gas and my mortgage.”

Surprisingly, some six years into the Obama presidency, Joseph has turned against the president, disappointed that he did not deliver on his “hope and change” campaign promises.

(Via The Blaze)  […]  A source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to TheBlaze on Monday that Bergin has, in fact, been suspended over his remarks about the black community and may end up being fired. The source said Bergin was asked not to come in Monday and Tuesday as the news station figures out how to handle the situation.
News 12, a network of news stations serving various areas mostly in New York and New Jersey, did not return messages left by TheBlaze on Monday.
Here’s what Bergin said on the air (the politically incorrect part is around @2:00):

“We were besieged, flooded with calls from police officers furious that we would give media coverage to the life of a cop killer. It’s understandable. We decided to air it because it’s important to shine a light on the anti-cop mentality that has so contaminated America’s inner cities. This same, sick, perverse line of thinking is evident from Jersey City, to Newark and Patterson to Trenton.”
“It has made the police officer’s job impossible and it has got to stop. The underlying cause of all of this, of course: young black men growing up without fathers. Unfortunately, no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject.”  (link for more)

And that moment of brutal honesty cost him his job.  But Eric Holder says “we’re a nation of cowards” when it comes to race.   Gee, go figure, I wonder why..

“A lot of nonsense“?  Sharpton ?…   Jackson ?…    Jealous ?… Parks?….. Crump?……  Jackson ?…..  ANYONE ?

Connecticut – Five people were shot early Sunday morning outside a downtown Stamford nightclub in a wild scene captured on video.

The ridiculous claims by Attorney General Eric Holder are belied by a wide range of diverse aspects;  I’m going to point out two.
First, as Holder admits he plays the race-card directed toward “some people”, not all people.   However, the stupidity of this deflection is inherent when you think of the result as compared to the approach.
Stating he can direct the playing of the race-card, toward specific personages is counter intuitive to the reality that the policy he shields behind it cannot be similarly divided.

You cannot defend legal policy, or the application therein, by saying “fill-in-the-blank people” won’t like this, ergo my policy is subject to attack by racist recipients, without yourself being racist as you consider its construction.
Either the policy stands scrutiny regardless of contingent or coalition or it does not.
If you assemble the legal policy based on the color of the skin carried by the recipient of the policy, then the policy itself is racist.

According to this report highlighted in The Hill Democrats are planning to use “race” as a weapon in all of their mid-term races.    This tactic was recently used in Mississippi, ironically by the GOP, with much success.  Hence it has caught the attention of the Democrats as an effective method to avoid electoral defeats.
Essentially, Democrats will use a national strategy to say if the “GOP” member wins in any house or Senate race, then black people will have their Food Stamps, or Medicaid, or benefits removed.  
Various DNC instructions will be to make it personal and specifically targeted to the individuals in the race.   This, Democrats hope, will bring an influx of minority voters to polls and stave off electoral defeats.   After all, it did work successfully for Thad Cochran in Mississippi.
Democrats are injecting race into the 2014 midterm elections amid fears that a drop-off in minority voters could severely cost them at the polls this fall.
WASHINGTON DC – “RACISM AS A STRATEGY” – Democratic leaders in Congress and administration officials have suggested GOP opposition to policies ranging from immigration reform to ObamaCare are, at least partly, motivated by race.
More broadly, they’ve suggested conservative Tea Party criticism of President Obama is based on the fact that he is black.
Democrats reject charges that the rhetoric is a concerted political calculation on their part as they try to retain their Senate majority and make gains in the House. (more…)
