There’s always a particular ONE WAY conversational aspect that rises up whenever the issue of racism reaches the mainstream news media; and it screams hypocrisy.   Enter the latest foray – racist owner of the LA Clippers, Donald Sterling.
About two months ago Spike Lee said “white people need to leave Harlem” as he went on a diatribe decrying how “white folk” have moved in to his old neighborhood.   According to Lee “with white gentrification comes disruption“, but apparently that’s ok – it must not be racism because he’s able now to protest a white Donald Sterling for expressing a similar racial sentiment:

HatTip WeeWeed – (Via Peoples Cube) While some undoubtedly ignorant people today made much ado about the nothing engendered in the Vatican’s redundant elevation of two dead old white males into so-called “sainthood”, reasonable people are asking a more important question: “Why was Barack Obama ignored?”

“It is obviously blatant racism,” said a non-white hispanic writer for the famous and intellectually impressive New York Times. “After all,” he added with less outrage than we had expected, “Obama won a NOBEL PRIZE FOR CHRISSAKES! If THAT doesn’t qualify him for sainthood, what the hell does?” (more…)

The Supreme Court delivered ruling, 6-2,  to Affirmative Action this week by siding with Michigan. FNC’s Chris Wallace hosts this spirited debate between Jennifer Gratz (XIV Foundation CEO) and Shanta Driver (Civil Rights Attorney) as they weigh in with their take on the Supreme Court decision.

The first U.S. journalist to rise and ask a question during the official press conference between President Obama and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib was Chuck Todd from NBC News.
What does he choose to ask about ?
The Russia v Ukraine crisis?  EU Sanctions and growing fears of NATO nations?  G7 and the fears of another world war?  The collapse of a Japanese trade deal from the previous day ?   The coordination of U.S. search efforts for Missing Malaysian airlines MH-370?   Pan-Asian relations and nuclear agreements?
Pfffffftt….   silly rabbit.

Why… LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling, and the existence of racism in the USA of course.

Race-baiters gotta’ race-bait.    And… of course President Obama has a well briefed response reflecting he has been *THOROUGHLY* apprised of the situation.

  Independent journalist Jack Cashill discusses his examination of the Trayvon Martin shooting/George Zimmerman case (“If I had a son: Race, Guns and the railroading of George Zimmerman”) at a forum held at the Platte County Resource Center in Kansas City, Missouri and televised on C-Span’s “Book TV”.
The entire discussion is about 1 hr  and 15 minutes long.  He opens up the discussion of his book about the Trayvon Martin shooting by laying down the foundation for the Progressive/Communist Agitprop history of politicizing non-political criminal cases for the advancement of the Socialist agenda, starting with the Sacco/Vanzetti case in the 1920’s.  It is a worthwhile listen for those who don’t have a full appreciation that the techniques used by the Progressives in the Trayvon Martin drama were from an old, old playbook.

Obama can’t get a trade deal with Japan.   Obama angers the Chinese relations over Senkaku Islands.   But hey, there’s always  “THE SELFIE”…

For some reason this continuing saga of socialist oppression seems to have escaped the mainstream media…. Sean Penn unavailable for comment (?) 

(From PanAm Post Via WeaselZippers) Peaceful protests in Venezuela will from now on require express authorization from the mayor or the governor of the jurisdiction where they are carried out. The Supreme Court (TSJ) made this decision yesterday, declaring that the right to protest “is not an absolute right.”

Police forces will now be legally allowed to disperse people who shut down a street to voice their complaints. Also, the attorney General will be allowed to prosecute unauthorized protestors for disobedience.
The TSJ considered it is imperative to “guarantee the right to free movement,” which would justify dispersing any unauthorized congregation. According to the ruling, written by Judge Arcadio Delgado, local police forces have “an obligation to cooperate with the rest of the security forces in maintaining public order during the illegal exercise of the right to protest.” (more…)

Generally we stay away from the Hollywood gossipy ‘People Mag-Type’ stuff.  However, with Dorkman Clooney we make an exception; because like the insufferable Moonbat, Matt Damon, Clooney does political stuff that can actually have adverse consequence.

This article about Clooney is so accurate it bears sharing.

(CafeMom.Com)   A lot of you ladies (and gents) out there will be disappointed to hear that George Clooney, self-declared eternal bachelor, is supposedly getting married!
Scratch that.
He’s apparently engaged (still has to make it to the altar).
People Magazine and Page Six are reporting that Hollywood heartthrob *cough* Clooney, 52,  is engaged to Amal Alamuddin, 36, the London lawyer who he has been dating for less than a year.
Oh, where to begin? (more…)

Lies, regardless of origin, are horrible.    However, when they are done to purposefully manipulate and create a narrative, lies can become worse.

Progressives should be *REALLY* careful with this story.    Progs -as a collective- (the various grievance check box groups) are being set up / used for the financial benefit of V. Stiviano and her attorneys.    {{{pass-the-popcorn}}}

Donald Sterling is a Democrat Fundraiser , and a democrat supporter/donor.  He’s a slimy bastard and has been for a long time, but the current accusation is constructed for financial benefit.
Sterling is the owner of the L.A Clippers his “former” girlfriend is V Stiviano a woman of dubious character.    She is, by race, Mexican and Black.   She is also being sued by Sterling Inc. for “embezzlement” of almost $2,000,000 ($1.8 million) from him.  Embezzlement is what they call it in Hollywood when you charge a Ferrari, two Bentley’s, and a $1.8 mil condo to drop your panties.

Donald Sterling Inc. also includes Mrs. Donald Sterling – D’oh….   Who is suing the “girlfriend” for return of family assets.   So, after Stiviano gets handed papers for the lawsuit she hires an attorney and tells Sterling she would “get him back“.
She’s set him up.
The “set up” is constructed around an oft argued personal issue they have/had historically between themselves.
Stiviano had often complained to Sterling that her friends didn’t like him -and consequently leery of her- because they thought her boyfriend, Sterling, was a prejudiced bigot, which he probably is – but that’s not the substance of the latest construct.
Against the backdrop of the prior conversations about her friends, and their racist opinion of her boyfriend within her social circle, she recorded a phone call. (more…)
