PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Human Relations Commission has launched an investigation at the request of the mayor after a well-known magazine published an essay that explored perspectives of white citizens on the issue of race relations.

Mayor Michael Nutter called on the commission to consider rebuking both Philadelphia Magazine and writer Bob Huber noting that “the First Amendment, like other constitutional rights, is not an unfettered right.”:

While I fully recognize that constitutional protections afforded the press are intended to protect the media from censorship by the government, the First Amendment, like other constitutional rights, is not an unfettered right, and notwithstanding the First Amendment, a publisher has a duty to the public to exercise its role in a responsible way. I ask the Commission to evaluate whether the “speech” employed in this essay is not the reckless equivalent of “shouting ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater,” its prejudiced, fact-challenged generalizations an incitement to extreme reaction.

Nutter’s fury was directed at a cover story titled, “Being White in Philly.” The story included conversations with mostly anonymous residents who detailed race relations in the City of Brotherly Love. (more…)

(Daily Mail) Sunday evening’s episode of the History Channel’s hit series ‘The Bible’ threw up an awkward coincidence when viewers noticed that Satan bore a remarkable resemblance to President Obama.

Twitter exploded into life during the airing of the latest edition of the Mark Burnett-produced series with most noting the striking similarities between the 44th President and the devil played by actor Mehdi Ouzaani.

The show has been a surprise hit in the ratings, with the religious mini-series attracting 13.1 million viewers on Wednesday – topping television leviathan American Idol’s 12.8 million viewers on Wednesday.  (continue reading)

Today President Obama officially announced his selection for Labor Secretary, Tom Perez.

To call Perez a radical is to do an injustice to the term itself.  Tom Perez is a racial radical, a specific and intentional race based politico of the highest order.

Much of the information you will read about Perez will outline his warm affection to Islam in general, and to Sharia Law specifically.    That alone should be alarming to the casually interested.   But his ideological perspectives and his previous institutional activity within the Dept Of Justice should raise alarm levels to infinity.

Last week we brought to your interest an article from Philadelphia Magazine titled: “Being White In Philly“.   Essentially the article highlights how race is tenuously handled in the city of ‘Brotherly Love’.

The fear of racism, or being considered a racist, was outlined in the magazine by showing how non-blacks pander to blacks out of an overbearing concern for political correctness.  Examples were cited from individual interviews with non-blacks who attest to their intentional over consideration for black persons in daily interactions.

One such story:

Dennis, 26, teaches math in a Kensington school. His first year there, fresh out of college, one of his students, an unruly eighth grader, got into a fight with a girl. Dennis told him to stop, he got into Dennis’s face, and in the heat of the moment Dennis called the student, an African-American, “boy.”

The student went home and told his stepfather. The stepfather demanded a meeting with the principal and Dennis, and accused Dennis of being racist; the principal defended his teacher. Dennis apologized, knowing how loaded the term “boy” was and regretting that he’d used it, though he was thinking, Why would I be teaching in an inner-city school if I’m a racist?

The stepfather calmed down, and that would have been the end of it, except for one thing: The student’s behavior got worse. Because now he knew that no one at the school could do anything, no matter how badly he behaved.  (link)

This, and all of the accompanying insightful examples highlight fear on behalf of the non-blacks to confront the truth – the reality of race-based behavioral accepting. (more…)

Unions, like socialism in general, eventually collapse unto themselves.   Greed for unearned income creates a system where the frustrated and unappreciated host eventually stops earning.   Like a dependent drug addict, the parasite cannot stop demanding their unearned fix.  Eventually the money runs out….

CALIFORNIA – There’s nothing more embarrassing for union bosses than their own unionized staff striking against them or, in this case, threatening to strike.

In San Francisco, SEIU staff, represented by the left-wing Communications Workers of America, has been without a contract since their contract expired last September.

SEIU boss Roxanne Sanchez, according to the San Francisco Bay Guardian, is trying to get her union staff to give concessions on their pensions and health care.

Last week, after months without a contract, 94% of the SEIU’s own union staff voted to strike.

WASHINGTON DC – The barbershop of the U.S. Senate has run deficits of approximately $350,000 a year for each of the last 15 years. So Senate sergeant at arms Terry Gainer has decided to try out a new model, one that has looked rather unfashionable during the Obama era: privatization.

Gainer has tried to trim Senate Hair Care Services for the past few years. Now the political climate troubling everyone else on Capitol Hill is allowing him to move faster than he anticipated towards privatizing it completely. (more…)

It’s a long way from “purple states”…

New York City, Flatbush, finds itself in the epicenter of another young black male shooting incident turned opportunistic grievance statistic.  The storyline is a 16-year-old kid, Kimani “KiKi” Gray, was shot seven times and killed by police officers after he turned toward them wielding a loaded .38 caliber handgun.

A few days before, and a few more miles away in Chicago, a 6-MONTH-old girl, Jonylah Watkins, was shot six times (one for every month of her life) and killed by gangland style thugs as they attempted to murder her father.

In Chicago six bullets killed the baby girl.  In New York, seven bullets killed Ki Ki.

Chicago moves on, another day – another innocent.   500+ last year alone.

New York City erupts with protests, violence, broken bottles, looters, all supported by accusations of racism and random police violence against black males. (more…)

Seriously, what gives with these guys.   A demand for smaller government = racial overtones?   Support for the 10th amendment = racism?

.@JessieMarkell MLK's entire strategy was get feds 2 intervene. States & biz had discriminated 4centuries. Rand argument today= KKK's then.
