Allow me to establish from the outset that what Rand Paul is trying is valiant, admirable, and needed.   However, simultaneously he is up against a massive institutional complex which has designed the architecture of dependency and need it to remain.

“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system.
For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  (link)

Some may dismiss what Rand Paul is actually trying to promote, I do not.
Beyond policy is something more important – engagement.
The greatest consideration a person or enterprise can give is the gift of understanding. As much as Rand Paul is offering policy suggestions to improve inner cities, he is engaged and listening.
However, one of the unfortunate realities he faces, which actually establishes the slope of the climb he is attempting, is the reality of dependency.

Tampon Earring Lady was back on TV this weekend telling folks that if you say “ObamaCare” what you really mean is “Niggers”.  Yup, the word police is trying to make “Obamacare” as racist as Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches.  
It’s True. I can’t keep up.
(Via Daily Caller)  MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry suggested the term “Obamacare” and the N-word are interchangeable, claiming both were “conceived by a group of wealthy white men who needed to . . . render [a black man] inferior and unequal and diminish his accomplishments.”
Harris-Perry opened her show Sunday morning with a sober monologue on President Obama’s push to rebrand his failing healthcare law:

HARRIS-PERRY: “I want to talk today about a controversial word. It’s a word that has been with us for years. And like it or not, it’s indelibly printed in the pages of American history. A word that was originally intended as a derogatory term, meant to shame and divide and demean. The word was conceived of by a group of wealthy white men who needed a way to put themselves above and apart from a black man, to render him inferior and unequal and diminish his accomplishments.

The ironic thing is that Marcellus Jones is mostly correct.    If Marcellus “Ant North” Jones was actually seventeen,  instead of his current age of 35, his self identification could be considered highly appropriate.
Five Years ago Marcellus murdered a 23-year-old naïve, young and very white school teacher, Beau Zabel, who moved from Minnesota to Philadelphia to “make a difference by teaching black youth in the inner city”.   
White boy Zabel was murdered by Black-man, Marcellus Jones, because whitey only had an iPod and Jones was looking to jack  iPhones for reparations.     The Cracka’  was carrying the wrong gadget and that frustrated his robber – so Marcellus Jones shot him.

PHILADELPHIA – The suspected killer stewed in Interview Room D as detectives prepared charges against him in a crime that he could not escape – the five-year-old killing of Beau Zabel.
Marcellus Anthony “Ant North” Jones had been “mouthy,” as one detective put it, during Wednesday morning’s drive from Graterford Prison to Police Headquarters.
Investigators had retrieved Jones so they could book him in the 2008 killing of Zabel, a teaching student from Minnesota gunned down for his iPod near the Italian Market as he walked home from his night shift at a Starbucks.
The killing of a young man who had come to Philadelphia just six weeks earlier to teach math in the inner city pulled at the conscience of the community five years ago. (more…)

He’s nothing, if not predictable….  ‘Keep Hope A Lie’ !

WASHINGTON DC – Rev. Jesse Jackson said Sunday apartheid still exists in the United States as he reflected on Nelson Mandela’s effect on American politics.

“Apartheid remains. Apartheid gaps in poverty, healthcare and education. We’re in the middle of the end of the apartheid struggle now, but it’s just changed phases,” he said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
“For almost 30 years, we had a lead jump on the right to vote and used that right to vote to empower allies in South Africa,” Jackson said. (more…)

In the pictures above you see two white men posing with South African President, Nelson Mandela.    Each white man, Bill Clinton and F W de Klerk, was the political leader of a nation at the time Mandela was imprisoned then freed.

One is hated by progressive Democrats – One is beloved.

So a simple set of social justice questions can be easily established around the timeframe of Mandela’s incarceration and the government of those leaders, and their nations, during the exact same timeframe.        Questions – (but don’t cheat):
Question #1 – Which “white” man presided over a nation who, in 1985, used a government helicopter to drop two gel-based explosive fire bombs on a group of blacks – Killing them ?

A.) Bill Clinton -or-  B.) F W de Klerk

Last month in Lunenburg Massachusetts a bi-racial family claimed they were victims of racist attacks against their son.    The story gained massive media attention and was highlighted on CNN with Anderson Cooper’s AC360 show.
The claim (outlined in this video) was made against the backdrop of a white mother and black father claiming their bi-racial son was discriminated against on his football team and subjected to racist epithets.  To boost their claim they pointed to graffiti being spray painted on the side of their home, and they accused the football team of doing it.   The team coach took the accusation seriously and cancelled all football games until the suspect could be identified and arrested.

Sheesh,…. Just when you may have thought it was ok to put the neon big lettered 1980’s white-guilt quilt/blankie back into a hermetically sealed box, South Africa’s version of Communist Che Guevara, Nelson Mandela, dies.

Dust off the Bob Geldof albums, wait…. no, that’s Sir Bob Geldof now…  see if you can find your Bono U2 cassettes, try to remember the words to “We Are The World”, and get ready to cry while listening to sorrowful Paul Simon VHS replays with tribal drumbeats and elephant cries.   How’d that James Taylor tune go again?…
Ya see, predictably we have to look forward to ten days of historical rewriting, and  simultaneously avoid mentioning the explosion of African AIDS and a never lost bromance between Muamar Kadaffi, Fidel Castro, and Winnie Mandela’s insta-meal ticket. (more…)

Wisconsin is one of those really progressive regions where the media talking about Black on White violence is strongly discouraged.  
Wisconsin is also the state which brought forth the collegiate “White Guilt” classes.
(PennLive) – With his blackened eyes and broken nose, Tim Bessette may just be the country’s latest victim of an urban crime wave known as the “knockout game.” Speaking from his hospital bed in Milwaukee this week, the 53-year-old says he’s lucky to be alive.

He remembers getting off the bus, walking down the street and encountering four youths. The next thing Bessette knew, he was sucker-punched in the nose. The world went black, and Bessette woke up on the pavement. And as he did, he heard the youths running away, joking and laughing. (more…)

Last week a New York City politician, Charles Barron, said the only way to stop black’s from punching Jewish people and non-blacks in the face was to pay blacks to stop.   This week another local politician steps forth to say it’s the Jew’s fault.

 NEW YORK – A local New York City politician and ally of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio says  the recent spate of “knockout” attacks in Brooklyn may stem from “a genuine  concern” about Jewish influence.
Laurie Cumbo, the councilwoman-elect for the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown  Heights, made the comments in an open letter posted to her Facebook page. In the letter,  Cumbo reports that many of her African-American constituents are alarmed by the  growth of the local Jewish community.
The resulting tension, she says, could have lead to a number of attacks on  Jewish residents that bear the hallmarks of a “game” in which teens attempt to  knock someone unconscious with one punch. (more…)
