71 Yr Old Harry Potter Actress Speaks Truth About Race Relations
An article in the UK’s Daily Mail blew me away this morning. Both the action reported and the reaction of both press and people around her have been instructive. Will.i.am was left speechless on the Graham Norton show last night after Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes told the star that she was ‘fascinated’ to meet […]
Time Out for Fairness: The Piers Morgan – Toure Encounter and the Breitbart Hack Headline
March 31, 2012
Breitbart has a feature article titled: “MSNBC’s Toure has epic Race-Baiting Meltdown on CNN.” It seemed a must read or rather a must watch clip from CNN’s Piers Morgan show. Having watched the video, the headline is as far from the truth of the content as Africa from Central America. It is a hack headline […]
Public Playing Fast and Loose with Trayvon Shooting
March 29, 2012
The Commander-in-Chief followed the same pattern he had in the Gates case against the Cambridge, MA police. He bypassed the fact that all of the facts were not in regarding the Trayvon-Zimmerman case and that the shooter had not been tried (albeit overwhelming evidence suggests he did deliberately shoot young Trayvon). Will this prejudice a […]
John Wiley Price and the People of Dallas – The History Behind His Outburst
February 17, 2011
It would be difficult for anyone reading about or seeing the video of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and a citizen in a Court session go at it ending with Price’s cheap shot heard ’round the world “you’re all white. Go to hell.” Whichever way you judged the proceedings and the people, there is […]
Goaded by Racial Slurs, Dallas Commissioner Tells Insulting Whites “You’re White. Go to Hell”
February 16, 2011
At Tuesday’s meeting of the Dallas County Commissioners’ Court, Commissioner John Wiley Price, a black, was heckled by whites using what he understood to be racial slurs regarding his alleged participation in forcing the resignation of an Election Commissioner who was a 24-year county employee. Following the session, Price exploded at the offending group that […]
Shattered Dream- Sharpton and Beck Vie for “Copyright” of MLK’s Message
August 30, 2010
It has taken Al Jazerra news to say it as it is: It was all there in plain sight. Martin Luther King Jr’s vision for the future gone wrong. The two rallies – one commemorating the civil rights leader’s speech in 1963, the other promising to “restore honor” and pick-up the mantle of equal rights […]
Congress: The “Look and Feel” of Unethical Behavior
August 3, 2010
In the 1980s, Apple, Inc. (McIntosh) took Microsoft to court for adopting the “look and feel” of the graphical user interface of their operating systems. In 1994, the court ruled in Microsoft’s favor but a point had been raised: Appearance can be everything. Make certain that the “look and feel” of a situation or product […]
Fighting Upstream Against Democratic Elitism
July 30, 2010
They’ve all gone to the best schools, they all have the right kinds of friends, they live in all the right places and they are moneyed – but they are not Republican – they are Democrats and they are currently running the country. Democrats don’t call Republicans racist and elitist from a position on the […]
There Never Really Was a Melting Pot, Was There
July 27, 2010
YouTube videos of the Brown Berets, a Latino activist group, that arrive at Tea Party and other white protests with megaphones and tell everyone to go home to Europe are unsettling. But aren’t the Brown Berets at least 1/2 European? Aren’t most Mexicans mestizo? Not necessarily. But most are and the native heritage seems to […]
