Sunny Hostin Kinda, Sorta Justifies Political Assassination


Image result for Sunny Hostin on The View
Sunny Hostin with Friends on The View





In asking, "Did...Trump provoke his attempted assassination," View co-host Sunny Hostin (an affirmative action baby) has unwittingly rationalized killing people because of their views, opinions and ideas. (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2016/06/21/view-co-host-did-vile-trump-provoke-attempted-assassination)


NOT rationalizes the killing of terrorists, or people who support genocide, like those favoring mass migration to Europe and the resultant European genocide, no, Ms. Hostin rationalizes the killing of someone who may, or may not have "given offense" to jihadists, Mexican criminal cartels and abusive trading partners.

This is one small step for stupid people (like Hostin) and a giant leap backward for mankind.

In her idiotic attempt to rationalize the attempted assassination of Donald Trump Ms. Hostin's justifies the murder of socialists from Sanders to Chavez and Corporatists from the Clinton's to the Bush's.

Is THAT the world Sunny wants? One in which anyone who disagrees vehemently with another is justified in trying to kill them?

There's never a rationale for "selective outrage."

In FACT, if anything, there's far MORE justification for the murder of Leftists & socialists. Chavez' policies have CAUSED Venezuela's current crisis, just as Stalin's caused those of the former Soviet Union...which today is a nation even more Capitalist than the USA, with a FLAT TAX!

Sad, but TRUE, Adolph Hitler came the closest of any world leader in making socialism work. It took slave labor to do that, but that monster do come the closest. Apparently affirmative action "babies" like Sunny Hostin are blithely unaware of such facts.

This is yet another example of the tragedy of segregation, in our current age, in the tragic segregated standards of "affirmative action."

The Privilege, Preference and Deference of America’s New Segregation


Bernard J. Tyson



Melissa Harris-Perry



Al Sharpton






In his most recent rantings (It’s Time to Revolutionize Race Relations; https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141204174020-261404895-it-s-time-to-revolutionize-race-relations?trk=prof-post), Bernard J. Tyson’s (CEO of Kaiser Permanente) comes off as an ungrateful member of what Ellis Cose has rightly called “a privileged class” (in his book, The Rage of a Privileged Class http://www.amazon.com/Rage-Privileged-Class-Ellis-Cose/dp/0060182393/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1417869305&sr=8-1).

Bernard J. Tyson no doubt benefited greatly from the first and I believe ONLY nationwide system of segregation – the segregated standards that comprise today’s “Affirmative Action.” Southern segregation existed in appx. 9 states. Today, many promising young black “affirmative action babies” receive a “mentoring” that rivals the access that the richest scions of the most prestigious families get.

And to think that affirmative action was initially sold as “leveling the playing field,” to make sure blacks were treated “equally.” I’m sure most Americans felt “equal to other average Americans,” NOT to the Vanderbilts and Kennedys.

I oppose the favoritism shown to such rich & powerful families too, but that’s never been reined in successfully anywhere, but WHY treat ANY “promising” black recruit the same way a Kennedy, or a Bush or wealthy scion from such prominent families is routinely treated?

THIS, “in today’s global world. The first step in changing negative behavior is to understand the underlying imagery of the black male, which doesn’t represent reality…” is simply WRONG.
The image of the black male is actually better than IF the stats on violent crime were more well-known. Consider that in America, since 1976, black males (6% of the nation’s population) have committed upwards of 50% of the murders NATIONWIDE! Blacks commit an extremely disproportionate amount of ALL violent crimes (rape, assault, armed robbery, etc).

“...(In) James Q. Wilson and Richard Herrnstein in their classic 1985 study, Crime and Human Nature said “Every study of crime using official data shows blacks to be over-represented among persons arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for street crimes.” This was true decades before the authors put it to paper, and it remains the case decades later.

“The over-representation of blacks among arrested persons persists throughout the criminal justice system,” wrote Wilson and Herrnstein. “Though prosecutors and judges may well make discriminatory judgments, such decisions do not account for more than a small fraction of the over-representation of blacks in prison.” Yet liberal policy makers and their allies in the press and the academy consistently downplay the empirical data on black crime rates, when they bother to discuss them at all...” (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/21/family-secret-what-the-left-wont-tell-you-about-bl/)

IF whites knew (that is, IF the MSM accurately reported the facts) how would black males be seen, if others knew that Blacks commit 25 times more violent assaults on Whites than Whites do against Blacks? (https://twitter.com/chris_1791/status/540052759526252544)

Exactly HOW MUCH privilege, preference and protection via distortion and disinformation do blacks want...and need?

I’m sorry, but guys like Bernard J. Tyson are among the most vile of the 1%. He gloms a disproportionate share of the wealth, that his skills almost certainly did not earn and yet...he wants MORE. He wants deference...the deference that an exalted “favored group” status brings.

Tyson could’ve, liked Charles Barkley told the truth and gone against the grain, but apparently Tyson doesn’t have the guts that Barkley does, nor the appetite for real controversy.

Moreover, the current call for police body cameras, once instituted, will almost certainly show how rarely police act impulsively and how often “scumbags” (as Barkley rightly calls them) bait police and act recklessly and dangerously.

Cop dashboard cams have rarely shown police misconduct, but tons of civilian misconduct.

Recently, a dashboard cam caught black actress Danielle Watts in an anti-cop lie; “Actress Danielle Watts, who was handcuffed Sept. 11th by an LAPD sergeant, says she refuses to apologize for accusing the department of racial profiling, against the demands of civil-rights leaders.

“LAPD Sgt. Jim Parker handcuffed the “Django Unchained” actress when she walked away and refused to provide identification after he and other officers responded to calls of a couple having sex in a car.

“Watts accused Parker of racial profiling, leading to the LAPD launching an investigative probe into Parker and two other officers.”

It also caught a black Oakland firefighter Keith Jones who claimed “racism” when stopped by a white Oakland cop while entering a locked and empty firehouse at 10:45PM (http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2014/09/03/black-oakland-firefighter-says-white-cop-held-him-at-gunpoint/).

What Watts & Jones did (using false charges of “racism”) are far, FAR worse than Darren Wilson did (Wilson’s ONLY “crime” seems to be surviving a vicious attack by a thug), or what Daniel Pantaleo did in taking down Eric Garner.

What Watts and Jones did was EXACTLY akin to a cop “planting false evidence” on a suspect.

NOTHING has happened to either Watts or Jones, but Wilson and Pantaleo have been vilified, dragged through the courts, lost their jobs and still face various “Civil Rights” violations by a rogue DoJ, run by former Columbia University radical Eric Holder.

In a truly fair world, the tables on these acts would’ve been reversed. Jones and Watts deserve to be punished for their very REAL crimes (bearing false witness, filing false reports), etc).

All of this goes to the heart of the “white male privilege” crusade by America’s modern racist demagogues. Consider that there are few, if any people, more PRIVILEGED than the likes of Melissa Harris-Perry, born to a white mother (Diana Gray, taught at a community college, then working on her doctorate when she met)and black father (the first dean of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia).

Ms. Perry was born in Seattle but grew up in Chesterfield County, Virginia, one of the counties adjoining the independent city of Richmond, Virginia attending Thomas Dale High School.

Harris-Perry was an associate professor at the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University and left in 2011 after being denied a full professorship because of “questions about her work and an assessment of where she is, in her career,” according to the Center's director at the time, Eddie S. Glaude Jr.

MSNBC couldn't wait to hire a slothful academic, with a spotty work record and announced on January 5th, 2012 that Melissa Harris-Perry would host her own weekend show, which began airing on February 18, 2012. Now THAT’S real privilege.

How about Al Sharpton, a self-anointed “Reverend” who has spent his adult life as a “race pimp.” He first made major headlines with the Tawana Brawley hoax, which ended with the disbarment of two associates (Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason) and a Civil judgment for defamation won by Anthony Pagones.

Sharpton set up an enterprise entitled the National Action Network, which sole purpose seems to be shaking down large Corporations for generous “donations.”

In 1995, a Sharpton speech railing against a Jewish-owned store (Freddy’s Fashion Mart), in which Sharpton called the owner (Fred Harari) “a white interloper.”

The Sharpton-led protests began in August and came to a head on the morning of Friday, December 8th when Roland James Smith, Jr., 51, a Harlem resident with a criminal record going back 30 years, who’d been part of the Sharpton's protests, walked into Freddy's Fashion Mart, pulled out a gun, ordered all the black customers to leave, spilled paint thinner on several bins of clothing and set them on fire - a fire that resulted in killing 7 people (Angelina Marrero, Cynthia Martinez, Luz Ramos, Mayra Rentas, Olga Garcia, Garnette Ramautar, Kareem Brunner) and Smith himself.

Kareem Brunner (a security guard) whom Smith called “a cracker-lover,” was the only black Smith didn’t evacuate from the store prior to setting the fire.

Despite that history of vile racial agitating, he’s been rewarded – the IRS has been “extremely lax” in collecting the massive tax bill he’s owed for decades, his National Action Network has been allowed to continue a veritable extortion scheme, he’s been given unprecedented access to both the White House (through Barack Obama) AND Gracie Mansion (through Bill DeBlasio)...AND MSNBC hired this bigoted buffoon on August 29th, 2011, to host PoliticsNation, the MSNBC show which airs weeknights during the 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time slot!

MSNBC hired, in effect, the black equivalent of Tom Metzger, the charismatic head of the Aryan Nation, without even a trickle of embarrassment. While both men's views may well be offensive, I'd be willing to bet that Mr. Metzger would have an easier time with the teleprompter than Mr. Sharpton has (collections of his mind-boggling bloopers are everywhere online).

Privilege just doesn’t get any better, nor more undeserved than that.

An Unlikely Source Triggers More Angst Over America’s Race Debate


Tal Fortgang





About a week ago, a white kid from Westchester (Tal Fortgang), made national news with a piece he penned in the Princeton Tory titled, “Checking My Privilege: Character as the Basis of Privilege.” (http://theprincetontory.com/main/checking-my-privilege-character-as-the-basis-of-privilege/)

He’s been lauded by some, had his essay republished in Time Magazine (http://time.com/85933/why-ill-never-apologize-for-my-white-male-privilege/) and vilified by others (http://m.thenation.com/blog/179675-no-one-cares-if-you-never-apologize-your-white-male-privilege), mainly the purveyors of the modern-day segregation of race/gender preferences.

So, THIS is what the pro-segregated standards advocates have retreated to, that "majority" males (since all existing societies are considered "patriarchal"), ethnic Chinese males in China, black males in Jamaica, ethnic Japanese males in Japan and white males in the USA derive some nebulous and ill-defined "privilege" from that majority position.

That's utter nonsense everywhere, but in the U.S. part of that "white male privilege" has been a half century of segregated standards on virtually ALL standardized exams, racial preferences that favor virtually EVERY other group over themselves AND being lectured by the truly privileged - both the recipients of those segregated standards and other assorted privileges, along with the political class," most of whom have never EARNED those positions, but merely won a variety of "popularity contests."

It’d be different IF the segregated standards of “Affirmative Action” (USA)/Positive Discrimination (UK) (depending upon how you prefer to euphemize such segregation) had existed only a decade...or maybe two, BUT five?!

Come on!

We've had a full half a century of segregated standards that are rooted NOT so much in the belief of white (and Asian) supremacy, but more aptly “black incompetence.” Today’s race-based preferences stem from the presumption that blacks (even well-off blacks from well-to-do families) cannot compete with whites and Asians, no matter what!

Regardless of how loudly SOME of its advocates howl, THAT is precisely the presumption that this modern day segregation is based on, just as surely as the pro-abortion-on-demand movement is rooted in the conviction that the poor (and ethnic minorities) will much more readily avail themselves of that  procedure than others...AND they DO! Blacks (appx. 12%) of the population account for over 35% of the abortions in America nationwide, a disparity that takes some doing. For the record, while I vehemently oppose race/gender preferences, I strongly support abortion-on-demand, at least through the 20th week of pregnancy.

An example of how pervasive this anti-white male bias is can be seen in a recent and ongoing debate about the state of major league baseball (MLB) in America today. As many Latin and Asian players have flooded MLB, the number of black professional baseball players in MLB has sharply decreased, as has, interestingly enough, the number of white players, BUT the ONLY question being asked is, “Why are there so few American black players in MLB?”

Seriously?!

Now, I’m not a great sports aficionado. I've never had any season ticket packages for any professional sports franchise, nor even any pay-per-view sports package on cable, BUT, I follow the culture and I have never heard ANY arguments that blacks are somehow presumed better athletes than any other ethnic group and can only assume that the ONLY people who’d even make such an argument would be the SAME type of people prone to make arguments about blacks being innately less proficient cognitively. Since I won’t take such arguments seriously, I can ONLY chalk up this singular concern over the plight of blacks in MLB as indicative of the pervasive cult of anti-white bias and dark-skin privilege.

What else could it be?

ONLY in the "bizarro world" of the pro-racial preferences advocates the "privileged" are "the under-privileged." ONLY in that world is segregation (segregated standards) “fighting for racial equality.” Brainless, emotionally charged movements like those supporting segregation in the name of “equal opportunity” tend to be shameless as well.

Who Really Stands Against the Merit System?


With the recent drubbing that overt race/gender-based preferences took in heavily Democratic Michigan (the MCRI banning race-based preferences was voted in a 60/40 landslide), those so inclined realize they need new ways around the old problem of “disparate impact.”

“Disparate impact” has been the rallying cry of all those opposed to standardized exams in any form or venue.

While race and gender-based preferences in school admissions have been fueled largely by a misguided sense of redress, in employment, they’ve been fueled by something far more sinister.

Consider that to date, the overwhelming bulk of race/gender based preferences have been consigned to Civil Service positions that have traditionally been filled, at least since the days when nepotism and cronyism were eradicated by the Civil Service Merit System (CSMS), by various Civil Service standardized exams.

The interview process used in the private sector is innately subjective, but has withstood the most intense legal scrutiny, as have the battery of professional exams – the Law Boards, the five part CPA exam, various medical licensing exams, etc. which all suffer the same demonstrable "disparate impact" that all standardized exams do.

Only the lowly Civil Service exams have not been spared.

Coincidence?

Not very likely.

So, then who is the real enemy of the CSMS?


Is it women and/or blacks?

Certainly a number of groups representing plaintiffs from both those groups have filed numerous federal lawsuits usually based on the claim of “disparate impact,” but that is hardly indicative of any consensus among either of those groups against standardized testing nor the merit system.

The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) has had lawsuits filed against it by both women’s groups and the Vulcans (a black fraternal organization) over the years. While women’s groups have argued that the physical portion of the firefighter’s entrance exam (weighted at 50% of the final score) is “discriminatory” against females because of its emphasis on upper body strength, the Vulcans have argued that the written portion of the exam is “discriminatory” against blacks because of, yes, “disparate impact.”

Both groups point to the fact that the FDNY is over 90% white and male as proof of some form of insidious, though unprovable discrimination.

The FDNY has always had the highest standards out of all the City’s Civil Service positions. Like all such Municipal positions, those standards have been watered down over the past three decades.

Still, the question remains WHO is the real enemy of the CSMS?

The only answer should be the most obvious one of all – the various Municipal governments are the real enemies of the CSMS.

Bottom-line, there are very few politicians who like the CSMS. It takes Municipal hiring out of political hands and puts those jobs, jobs that could be used as patronage positions to reward supporters, into an open and uniform system with a single standard for everyone applying for the various positions.

Politicians like patronage. They also like nepotism and cronyism. They don’t much like the CSMS.

Could that be why, while professional exams, like the Law Boards and CPA exams, tests that also suffer “disparate impact” have been defended and protected by court rulings, New York City, like other Municipalities have done little, if anything to defend the standardized exams forced upon those municipalities to remedy a very real, very deliberate and overt form of discrimination – patronage and cronyism?

Of course it could.

While many blacks and most women oppose segregated standards as much as they oppose any form of segregation, municipal governments oppose those standards because they’ve taken hiring decisions out of politician’s hands.

An end of the CSMS would mean a return to day when local politicians directly control the hiring within that municipality, returning a lot of leverage to local politicians that had been stripped away for decades.

While some “women’s groups” and some black fraternal organizations (like the FDNY’s Vulcans) have been used as tools to assail the CSMS, its municipal governments who’ve had the most to gain and therefore the deepest antipathy for the Merit System.
