Interesting article about the Scheme Team by William Reed in The Washington Informer. Two aspects of note within the article:
[…] The Parks & Crump camp helped to create a “Justice for Trayvon” industry consisting of protest paraphernalia that includes hoodies, sweatshirts and bumper stickers. The law firm proved to be instrumental in establishing the Trayvon Martin Foundation, with donations totaling an estimated $5 million dollars. (more…)
Before getting to the actual outcome of the EEOC lawsuit and the Federal Judge’s ruling we must review the BACKSTORY:
In September of 2012 Newark New Jersey, passed Ordinance 12-1630, “which limits employers’ ability to conduct criminal background checks.” The ordinance went into effect November 18, 2012 and “prevents employers with five or more employees who do business, employ persons or take applications for employment in the City of Newark, from asking applicants about their criminal history.” We wrote about it HERE.
In February of 2013, at the request of the White House, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) each determined that employers who use background checks as one of the determinants of whether to hire a prospective employee may be engaging in prohibited discrimination.
These federal agencies claim the use of criminal background checks can lead to a disparate impact on minority job applicants. (more…)
A black lady, Mona Nelson, kidnapped a 12 year old white boy, Jonathan Foster, from his home on Christmas eve 2010. She tied him up with twine and then burned him to death with a blowtorch. When she was finished she took his burned lifeless body out to the woods and threw him in a ditch. Her trial began this week.
The national media continues ignores the story…. We share it because no-one else will.
HOUSTON (KTRK) — On Wednesday, the mother of a little boy who was allegedly kidnapped and later turned up dead had to relive that day in court. On Thursday, Jonathan Foster’s grandmother had to do the same.
In tears, Mary Gifford testified about Foster, her grandson, coming home to Texas after living with relatives in Mississippi and Missouri in 2010. (more…)
Bill O’Reilly exposes that Al Sharpton for taking him out of context on his MSNBC show the other day to portray him as a brutalizer of the poor. After O’Reilly plays the clip of Sharpton blatantly lying about what he said, he then reveals kicker.
O’Reilly said that he donated $25,000 to Sharpton’s Harlem charity after Sharpton came to him and told him they were out of money and were not able to buy Christmas presents and dinners for hundreds of poor people.
O’Reilly says he never mentioned it because it wasn’t necessary. “But now it is,” he adds, “to prove exactly what kind of person Al Sharpton really is.”
Yet again – Where’s The Media ?
Applying their unidirectional race-based filter of course.
Houston Texas – Christmas Eve 2010 a 12-year-old boy named Jonathan Foster should have been preparing for presents and family. Instead, he was tied up with string, and slowly being burned alive by a blowtorch in the hands of Mona Nelson who had kidnapped him from his home hours earlier.
Her trial began this week.
Texas Chron – Prosecutors promised Wednesday they could show how, but not why, accused killer Mona Nelson callously ended the life of a 12-year-old boy after he disappeared on Christmas eve 2010. (more…)
Two weeks ago, drumming up attention toward her movie, Oprah Winfrey made the bizarre claim that millions of African Americans were lynched. Millions. The true figure is 4,743 with one in four being white (1882-1968).
Last week Oprah Winfrey claimed she encountered racism in Switzerland while shopping for $30,000+ purses. [<—we should all be $o unfortunate]
She made these claims while trying to draw attention to her soon-to-be-released movie “The Butler”; another race-based grievance movie.
The Swiss store, and the hapless victim/clerk she targeted with her accusations, denied the allegations. Oprah then tried walking back her accusation, well… sort of, but not really, because she’s Oprah, or something.
However, there appears to be a pattern here. (more…)

Let’s talk about what’s really going on behind this politically driven move by Eric Holder.
Hip Hop Mogul Russell Simmons was in a recent spat with CNN’s Don Lemon where Simmons said:
# 1 enemy of black America has been the war on drugs #newjimcrow
— Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013
He is not saying that drugs are toxic to the fabric of the black community. He is not saying that a culture built around a drug lifestyle is damaging to the black community. No, he is saying the #1 problem for blacks in America is drug use being unlawful, and by consequence the criminal arrest for such use is the “enemy of blacks”. The enemy of blacks is the application of law.
Just let that settle in for a moment.
The #1 enemy of blacks in America is the enforcement of law.
So the future of/for blacks, as advocated by blacks, advances the proposition that such a future can or will improve, only if the enforcement of law is removed.
In his own essential words. The black community will be without enemy if,….. the black culture will succeed if,…… and the black community will advance if,….. they are allowed to use drugs without lawful consequence. (more…)
Welcome to our world Swiss Lady.
I’m shocked, shocked says I, that a racial provocateur like Winfrey would make such unfounded accusations. Um, well, maybe not. When the flame of a prog, any prog, begins to diminish – there is nothing out of bounds in their quest for more fuel. Their own self-important sense of magnanimity is the driving influence behind all protestations. The race-card is just one of the anchors they throw out to save themselves as they slip further down the slope of irrelevance.
(Via UK Daily Mail) The sales assistant who refused to show U.S. talkshow billionaire Oprah Winfrey a luxury handbag costing nearly £25,000 claims the superstar lied about what happened in the luxury Swiss boutique where she works.
Speaking anonymously to Sunday newspaper SonntagsBlick, the Italian bag lady said she felt ‘powerless’ and in the grip of a ‘cyclone’ after Winfrey went on TV in America to claim she had been the victim of racism.
Winfrey was in Switzerland in July when she walked into the Trois Pommes boutique in Zurich looking for a handbag to match the outfit she was going to wear to old friend Tina Turner’s wedding.
She claims the sales assistant refused to show her the black crocodile leather bag because – seeing a black woman – she automatically assumed she would not be able to afford it. (more…)
(Saint Paul ) Four young males have been arrested after the senseless, brutal beating of a man on a late-night walk Sunday on St. Paul’s East Side, police said Friday.
The victim, Ray Widstrand, 26, of St. Paul, (pictured left) reportedly was in critical condition at Regions Hospital with potentially fatal brain swelling.
Police found Widstrand lying on the ground, bleeding from his nose and mouth, his pants removed and shirt torn, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Ramsey County attorney’s office.
