Pols Out of Line Although the Gosnell Murder Trial Should Be Covered By All Media

Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and 71 other congressmen sent letters to ABC, NBC, and CBS questioning their lack of coverage of the Gosnell abortion murder trial. I STRONGLY agree that madness should be covered, I think the congress-criters are out of line demanding that the media tell them why they are not covering the case. The news media is protected by the Constitution for a a reason.

Public Black Conservatives Refuse To Spotlight Blacks Handling Business

For some time I've said, and written in Usenet (remember that?) posts and web chat and blogs and Tweets here and there, that I don't think public Black conservatives really want to help those Blacks who are not doing well, to do well. I know that's a harsh statement to make, but I make it because, time and time again, you will read, hear, or see, most public Black conservatives stating there are problems in the Black community, and there definitely are problems, and that Blacks are not facing those problems.

They are wrong and they know it.

Let's start off with business. Many public Black conservatives will say that Blacks are not creating businesses nor do Blacks seem to be interested in business creation. For example, how many public Black conservatives pointed out this information?

Yet, entrepreneurialism is the one area in which these women stand out. Black women are starting businesses at three to five times the rate of all businesses, and entrepreneurship among black women has surged by 67% since 2002, according to a July 2012 report by the Center for American Progress

Also, many public Black conservatives will complain about the spending patterns of Black Americans, but will not point out the Black economic mainstay, Black Enterprise @blackenterprise, for years now, has been in the market of providing information so that Blacks will create businesses AND providing information to get Black readers to better manage their money. In fact, there is a regular feature that gives a Black family a financial checkup and advice on improving their situation. Earl Graves, Sr. backs Democrats. Is that a reason why Black conservatives refuse to spot light this magazine?

Years ago I approached Project 21 and asked why they don't add a section to their web site that highlights Black people and organizations that are doing exactly what they proclaim they say is needed. There was no response. That, and a prodding from Mike Bowen, caused me to create The Black Self Help Information web site (@BlackSelfHelpIn). (If you know of groups or people or news articles that should be mentioned, drop me an email).

Here is something sad and yet funny. On Twitter, I was blocked by @BlackRepublican for pointing out that public Black Republicans and public Black conservatives don't seem to give mention of groups like 100 Black Men (@100BlackMen), 100 Black Women, Concerned Black Men (@CBMNational) or people like Dr. Steve Perry (@DrStevePerry) or Corey Brooks (@CoreyBBrooks). 

Not only her, but Crystal Wright as well. In fact, you will find hundreds of Tweets by her claiming victim status, but not one from her proclaiming the work of Black organizations or churches or people working to fix the problems she Tweets about. I guess I'll mention here that I take it as a badge of honor that she blocked me as well. For what? Asking her why she doesn't post about Black organizations or churches working to solve problems.

I bet Sean Hannity would never have a panel of Black conservatives and ask them if what I wrote is accurate.

Boston Bombing

If you are taking any media seriously concerning the Boston bombing, shame on you. You know they don't know squat.

Son Of The Patriot Act?

Is this a direct result of the Patriot Act?

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has claimed that agents do not need warrants to read people's emails, text messages and other private electronic communications, according to internal agency documents.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which obtained the documents through a Freedom of Information Act request, released the information on Wednesday.

In a 2009 handbook, the IRS said the Fourth Amendment does not protect emails because Internet users "do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in such communications." A 2010 presentation by the IRS Office of General Counsel reiterated the policy.

What part of unreasonable search and seizure do they not understand? Suppose the people send encrypted email, as I have done, to their tax preparer?

 

 

Sean Hannity Turned Public Black Conservatives Adults Into Babies

On The Sean Hannity show, Sean Hannity just made a group of grown public Black conservatives, male and female -- gender words chosen with care -- a bunch of whining, victim status seeking, babies, with the exception of one Black MAN who is a priest, and I DANG sure I'm not writing about Jesse Lee Peterson!

This Last Paragraph Says It All

Here are links to two quick posts I did concerning Dr. Carson.

1. Dr. Carson OWNED President Obama.
2. Dr. Carson Wants To Compromise.

The paragraph below says it all and someone else is able to catch it.

I was one of those young people. I don’t doubt that Carson was a conservative even then. I knew plenty of black people who loved their community and hated welfare. But white conservatives were never interested in them, and they were never as interested in Ben Carson as they are right now. When the presidency was an unbroken string of white men, there were no calls for him to run for the White House. And then he put on the mask.

Boom.

My father was a policeman in NYC. When citizens can't trust the police in the street, how can they, the police, be trusted in the courtroom?

Urban Prep Academies Graduates All College Bound, 4th Year Straight

Urban Prep Academies Graduates All College Bound

For a remarkable fourth consecutive year, all 167 seniors at Urban Prep Academies schools have been accepted at four-year colleges or universities this fall.

Students of the two Chicago public charter high schools -- located in the city's Englewood and University Village neighborhoods -- gathered Thursday morning to celebrate the achievement of their schools, which some have dubbed "Hogwarts in the Hood" for their impressive, seemingly magical rates of success, CBS Chicago reports.

Still, Urban Prep's founder and CEO Tim King says, "the only magic going on at Urban Prep is the magic that these guys put in with their hard work and dedication.”
