That’s a lot of words, so you can suck racist Di**. Those are the words of Tom Arnold to the black female independent thinker Candace Owens. Observe that nothing in that statement is based on an argument. He simply hopes to insult her into shutting up. Who does she think she is after all? You see, young miss Owens thinks that too many black people are blindly beholden to the Democratic Party, and because of that blind loyalty, they do not even open their minds to consider other ideas. For the crime of thinking for herself, she has become a target of the political left who do not oppose her on intellectual grounds, but just based on the fact that she does not hold to the approved political opinion of what a black female should believe. She is constantly disrespected in the manner that Tom Arnold saw it fit to do. This alone should make black people wonder why it is that people on the left feel that they have license to viciously attack any prominent black person who dares to reject the dogma that black people are supposed to be Democrats. When so many white liberals believe that it is legitimate to personally attack, insult and treat black conservatives with such scorn, it should make antennas go up in the black community, but it does not. Instead, the vitriol directed to people like Candace Owens is tolerated, and if it was not for alternative media like Breitbart News, Fox News, the Drudge Report and the Daily wire, their treatment of these black conservatives would not even garner a mention in the liberal media (is it any wonder liberals hate Fox News so much?). There is a reason that people like Candace Owens are the target of so many white leftists, and black “leaders.” The reason is that she and others like her just might awaken black people to drop their tools and walk off the Democratic plantation. If this happens, the race industry would seriously be threatened and many of them do not have anything on which to fall back. Quite frankly, they are afraid of people like Candice Owens.

Kanye and Dr. Thomas Sowell

Yesterday, Kanye tweeted some sayings from Dr. Thomas Sowell…oh, oh! He is really in trouble now. Thomas Sowell! Are you kidding? Black people are not supposed to pay attention to people like Dr. Sowell. He has been labelled a sell out, an uncle Tom, a self hater and other names, because he has been appealing to the black community for decades to stop blaming the white man for their problems, to look inward, and to start making different decisions that would enable them to bring about change in their lives. Now Kanye West is quoting him on Twitter.?!? God have mercy on his immortal soul! Black people are not supposed to embrace Dr. Thomas Sowell’s way of thinking. Kanye West must really be losing it. Maxine Waters tweeted that he “is speaking out of turn.” “A rough translation of that is that Kanye West needs to know his place, and shut to hell up.” Not sure exactly where this whole Kanye West evolution is heading, but it is definitely interesting to watch. Hopefully it could lead to a mental revolution in the black community.

Crip Alert for Kanye

Check out this video from Snoop Dogg’s cousin. He put out a “Crip alert” to f*** Kanye up.” West committed the unforgivable sin of  challenging black people to rethink their politics. Of  course you would not see this news on MSNBC or CNN being looped over and over, and over again because it does not promote their agenda or their narrative. From viewing this video, hopefully many would understand why it is so important to forsake the left and the Democratic Party. Of course many would say that this gentleman does not represent the left or the Democratic Party, but this type of behavior, too often is tolerated on the left. You do not hear the same outcry for this type of behavior as if it was a conservative or a white person saying something as crazy. The story and the response would be something completely different. This man is calling on a street gang of black thugs, who have wreaked havoc in the lives of so many young black, men and terrorized black neighborhoods to “F*** Kanye a** up,” because Kanye West is challenging black peoples ideas about politics. And for that he deserves to have a Crip alert put out on him, and have a world of violence visited on him. Let that sink in!

Race Baiting and Trump

People need to realize that by constantly calling Donald Trump a racist does not make him one. There is a large swath of the country who vehemently disagrees with the opinion that the President of the United States is a racist. There are many unsavory things that one could truthfully and unequivocally say about him, but him being a racist is not one of them. That is an opinion meant to alienate people who support him. He is not a white supremacist. He does not hate black and brown people, neither does he hate women. Nothing in the man’s life points to any of this. The thing is that the race card has been played so often that it has cheapened the real serious issue of racism that still exists. If people become desensitized to racism it would not be because of Donald Trump, but because of the left crying race once too often, just like the story of the boy who cried wolf. So when the crazy left continues to tell black women or any other group that they should not support the President because he is a racist, that argument simply does not fly. They would have to do better than that. They will have to present more solid reasons than the ad hominem attacks that they have been launching since Trump came on the scene as a candidate.

The White House Correspondence Hate Fest

The White House Correspondence dinner proved once again that the media’s job in America is to discredit any Conservative, Republican, religious person, or anyone who holds traditional values. It was another hatefest for the left, another opportunity for them to portray themselves as edgy with their vile jokes and insults. Every year it is the same predictable schtick. This year was particularly awful and everyone is up in arms about the “comedy” routine of the guest speaker, but it is par for the course. People are saying that it is time to end the WHCD, but no way. Let it continue. Let these people continue to tell us who they are, by putting their hateful ideology on full display. By all means, let them continue. Observe that the WHCD guests never “roast” the Democrats. For eight years, none of the organizers of the WHCD ever found a comedian to make fun of President Obama. He was off limits. Despite everything that happened under his regime, it was forbidden to clown the holy one. He had a few things going for him. First of all he is slick. He has the ability to speak poison while making you feel inspired. He is a Democrat. He is a rabid liberal and most of all he is black. On the left, if it is one thing that you do not do, it is hold black people to the same standards. The left peddles in the soft bigotry of low expectations and expect to get a pat on the back because of it.

No fan of Kanye West here, but big time kudos to him for giving props to a successful black female that dares to defy the status quo thinking of what or who a black woman should be. West gave props to Candace Owens on Twitter saying, “I love the way that Candace Owens thinks.” In a world where white leftists, and so many prominent black people demean, personally attack and ostracize any black person who dares to leave the Democratic plantation, it is refreshing to see someone like Kanye West give Ms. Owens a shout out. That act alone would probably be enough to drive people to at least learn and find out more about her.  Because her message is such a powerful one, it should be heard by more people. Candace Owens is a young black female who does not play the victim card. She takes the opposite, unpopular position that the police are not the enemy of black America. She dares to call out the Ku Klux Klan of the black community known as Black Lives Matter for being the hateful, racist demagogues that they are. She continues to call on the black community to look within for the answers to many of the problems that plague the black community. Yes, indeed, Candace Owens is a strong, black independent female who does not hate white people, neither does she play or appeal to identity politics the way that the black overseers and white leftist masters of the Democratic plantation expect. Of course the left doing what they love to do is very often unwilling to engage in the arena of ideas, so they respond to her by calling her names. How dare she as a black woman think that it is not the Government’s responsibility to take care of people, and that individuals have to be invested in their own welfare, whether it be health care or education? Black people are not supposed to think that way right? To preach about personal responsibility is racist isn’t it? She must be a self hating black woman because you’ll never hear her talk about white privilege, or engage in class warfare. She is an avid supporter of capitalism, tax cuts and many other traditional values, but perhaps the thing that makes her most hated by the left is that she is a supporter of President Trump. Everyone knows that President Trump has a  particularly strong hatred for black people and women right, so that’s a double whammy against her. She does not buy into any of it, and she is very vocal about it. What is not to love about this woman? She’s young, she’s beautiful, smart, bold, courageous and unapologetically conservative. Good for her, and props to Kanye West for not being afraid to identify with her. That is the kind of move that could ruin a successful career. Good for you Ms. Owens!

     After following the Starbucks story about two black men getting arrested by the police at a Starbucks cafe, and seeing the media melt down and response over it; there is no doubt that the media is invested in portraying black people as helpless unaccountable victims. As victims unable to help themselves, these black victims are always in need of the self righteous white leftist social justice warriors who need to assuage their own guilt ridden conscience by showing that they care for the poor, helpless blacks, and running to their rescue. It got even more ridiculous when the CEO of Starbucks decided to get into the mix, and decided that the way to deal with the misunderstanding is to close their thousands of outlets for a day to attend classes on “unconscious  bias.” Are these people serious? So because a young Starbucks barista approached these two black men and told them that they needed to purchase something if they wanted to use the Starbucks bathroom, that is reason enough for Starbucks to stop everything they are doing for one day, and lecture their almost two hundred thousand employees about race, because surely, they all must be harboring some measure of racist thought about black people and other “people of color.” All these young men had to say was that they were waiting on someone, and the whole incident could have been avoided. Instead, after being told that if they are not going to purchase something they will have to leave the promises, they refused to leave. The young woman called the police, who, when they got there; told the men that they will have to leave the premises. The men refused and the police arrested them. That’s it! Now it is possible that the barista over reacted by calling the police, but to think that this woman would have her character assassinated for enforcing company policy is just incredible. The CEO of the company, instead of standing up for his employee; he threw her under the bus, and accused her of “unconscious bias” because she dared to follow company policy with two black men. Everyone says that people always loiter in Starbucks, so because this happened it shows bias on their part. That is nonsense! People are told all the time that they can’t use the bathroom in Starbucks unless they purchase something. The fact that this incident made the news and triggered an outcry does not mean that these two black men are the only people it has ever happened to. In addition, in a similar circumstance; how many people after being told to purchase something or leave would refuse to do either, or even say if they are waiting on someone? This is alternate universe kinda stuff. As one person pointed out, no one bothered to ask if this woman has a pattern of mistreating black people (in which case she surely would not be working for Starbucks), or if this Starbucks cafe has a reputation for treating black people differently. That does not even matter to the race mongers.  What matters most is that no black man should ever miss the opportunity to play the victim and show how terrible a country America is.

     Just three years ago there was another Starbucks incident in Philadelphia that garnered some attention. It involved a police officer who frequented a particular Starbucks cafe. One day while he was on duty, he went in to Starbucks, and asked to use the bathroom. He was refused because he did not purchase anything. That was in September 2015. Read the facebook post that the officer posted here of the incident: “So I walk into the Starbucks at 12th & Chestnut in full uniform and ask the young blonde liberal behind the counter if I could use their public bathroom for which you need a key code and she states in a loud voice, so all the other customers can hear, that the bathroom is for paying customers only. I then ask in a very polite manner if I could please use it. She then states in the same loud manner and a smirk “Are you a paying customer?”. It was at this point that I realized what she was dong. As I walked out with my hand up, and while she continued loudly to tell me about the bathroom down the street, I was even more astonished that the many customers and other employees said nothing and seemed indifferent. This is the world cops live in anymore. It’s hip for this generation to berate and totally disrespect cops in front of the public and praise cop killers as the heroes of their time. I never post things, but I hope my fellow brothers and sisters in blue see this and know that we have each other… and not to patronize Starbucks.” Starbucks apologized and that was the end of it. No media looping of the story, no lectures about cop hating, just a statement saying “that is certainly not in line with the experience we want any of our customers to have in our stores. We are taking all necessary steps to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.” Black people require a different standard though. Everyone wants to get that nice tingly feeling they get when they are nice to “the blacks.” It shows they are good people. No, it does not! But the most pathetic part in all of all this was to observe these young black men bask in the attention that they were getting as victims. They put on their best sad face as they gave their tale of woe. They were just willing to play the part, going along for the ride, portraying themselves as helpless pawns in the white man’s world. This stuff has to stop. To the black people who act this way, lift your heads with some pride and stop playing into this image of black people as loser underdogs in America. You do not need to be rescued by guilt ridden white lefties who just want to show you how good and virtuous they are. These people would rather see you as victims for as long as they can continue to portray themselves as your heroes. Black people, take your place as full fledged citizens of this country where anything is possible for you. Be victors, not victims. 

Nothing said here is meant to demean black people or make light of the legitimate issues they face. It is said only in the hope that at least one black person that thinks this way would be awakened to embrace a different paradigm

Many people when talking about Jesus Christ, refer to his message of love. They are correct in doing so because according to the scriptures, it was love that was the chief motivation behind every thing that he did. Jesus saved some of his harshest criticism for the religious people of his day. He was particularly harsh on them because of their hypocrisy, and because of the way that many of them allowed their traditions to become a stumbling block to the people who were genuinely seeking God. Who can forget the incident of Jesus going into the temple and capsizing the tables of the money changers? He was in a state of rage when he took this action, and he called out the religious leaders who were engaging in acts of greed right there in the temple. Jesus was so hard on the religious leaders that they eventually began plotting against him to take his life. He was not swayed by that  though, and he continued to call out the religious leaders of the day. He did not care too much about how they felt. His main concern was to speak truth to them.

People who have studied the scriptures say that one of the main reasons Jesus was so hard on the religious leaders was because they knew better, so they had no excuse for their behavior. They were supposed to be the ones guiding the people, and helping them in their search for God. They knew what Moses law demanded of the people, and what was generally expected of them in terms of how they should live their daily lives. The religious leaders, in the attempt to portray themselves as more than who they were, placed unnecessary burdens on the people. Many of the traditions that they embraced and imposed on the people were nothing more than exercises in self righteousness. Jesus was on to their game, and he let them know it. For this he was despised and he became their target.

Contrast Jesus’s attitude with the people regarded as sinners. In some of the most poignant accounts given, Jesus is shown to be gentle with them. He is kind, forgiving, and non judgmental. He seemed to relish being with the worst of the worse. The bible says that he ate with the tax collectors and sinners. The tax collectors were despised  by their countrymen because they worked for the oppressor Roman Government, but more than that; they often cheated the people to benefit their own pockets. Though these people were despised by their countrymen, the Bible says that Jesus was their friend, and indeed he was. One day, he singled out one of the most notorious tax collectors and said to the man called Zacchaeus that he wanted to dine at his house. The scribes, Pharisees and religious leaders recoiled in horror because Jesus invited himself to the home of this awful man.

In one of the most touching stories in the Bible, a woman who was reputed to be a prostitute, was so moved by the compassion of Jesus, that in a show of utter humility, she came before Jesus and poured some of the most expensive ointment on his feet. While performing this act of humility, she began to cry, and as her tears fell on the feet of Jesus, she took her hair, and in an awkward manner attempted to dry his feet. Jesus disciples were incensed when they saw the woman anointing Jesus’ feet with the ointment, wiping  his feet with her hair,  and when she even kissed his feet. Judas said, this ointment could have been sold and given to the poor, but he did not care about the poor, he said it because he was the one who kept the purse, and he was a thief. This was one of Jesus’ disciples, whose heart and soul and mind was not in the right place. Another religious person exclaimed that if Jesus was all that he claimed to be , he would know the type of woman that touched him, for she was a sinner. Jesus knew what was going in their hearts and he asked why they don’t leave the woman alone. He was so touched by the woman’s gesture that he declared that wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world that the story of this woman’s action will be told.  Prior to this incident  a woman was caught in the act of adultery (some say that it was the same woman, but the records do not say who it was). The people wanted to stone the woman, and they wanted trip up Jesus using the occasion. They asked him what should be done to punish her for her sin. We know the story well. Jesus said to them that he who is without sin should cast the first stone. Stunned by Jesus’ response her accusers all walked away, leaving her alone with Jesus. With her accusers all gone away, Jesus said to her that he does not condemn her either.

It is this type of compassion, demonstrated by Jesus time and again that people often refer to when they object to being told that their lifestyle puts them at enmity with God. It is one of the main reasons that people hate religion in general, and Christianity in particular. People who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ seem to be most judgmental, and demanding of those whom they deem to be sinners, in contrast to the way that Jesus himself responded to sinners.  There may be some truth to that, but it is important to point out that in some of these prominent stories, though Jesus was compassionate, loving, understanding and kind; their was an expectation that people abandon their life of sin and walk in newness of life. To the woman caught in adultery, he said, neither do I condemn thee, but he then admonished her to go and sin no more. When he went to the house of Zacchaeus the tax collector; being in the presence of Jesus had such a profound effect on Zacchaeus that he became repentant, and promised to pay restitution for his past wrongs. The woman with the alabaster box was deeply moved by Jesus’s compassion and the story indicates that she too was repentant, and forsook her life of sin. In another instance, after Jesus healed a man who was infirmed for thirty-six years, Jesus saw him on another occasion, and he said to the man “go and sin no more, lest a worst thing come upon you.” On one occasion when Jesus was hanging out with the “sinner crowd,” (those despised by the self righteous); the religious people asked him “why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?” Jesus answered and said “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” After telling one of his parables, Jesus said “I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.” In the story of the prodigal son, though the father was pleased to see his son come back home, the son first came to himself, recognized his mistake, acknowledged it, and expressed his sorrow over his mistake.So in every one of these situations, though the compassion of Jesus is evident, the common theme in these stories is sorrow, repentance and the acceptance that a life of sin must be forsaken. Indeed Jesus said that he did not come to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. He said those that do not believe shall be condemned. He came into the world, died and was resurrected for that purpose. That in essence is the message of Christianity. No one has to like it. No one has to accept it. No one has to believe it. People are free to be indifferent about it, and they are free to mock it, criticize it and outright reJect it. However should also not try to change it. Take it or leave it!

“I hate Bruno Mars, everybody knows that I fu***** hate Bruno Mars. I think if Bruno Mars died tomorrow I would bake a fu***** cake, like, I hate this guy. The reason why I fu***** hate Bruno Mars is because Bruno Mars is one hundred percent a cultural appropriator.” These are the eloquently spoken words of a black female on a viral video on youtube that discussed the issue of cultural appropriation. That is correct, cultural appropriation! That is why she hates Bruno Mars. How sad is that? Why is it that in 2018 there is even a discussion about cultural appropriation? Here we have the perfect example once again of the nonsense that black people in America have been fed, and so many of them just eat up. This is mental slavery. This is insecurity being defined as taking a stand. Are the people who believe and promote this nonsense so weak that they are offended because someone from a different a race has taken, perfected and marketed an art form that was started in the black community? To be sure, most black people do not think this way, but too many do. Who can forget that passionate speech a couple of years ago by the young actor and race baiter Jesse Williams when he pushed that most divisive speech talking about how terrible life is for black people in America, and the appropriating of black culture.

When prominent people like that preach that kind of drivel, it is easy to understand how it could take root in the hearts of others who are easily influenced and swayed because they embrace the victim culture. The fact that we are even discussing this foolishness about cultural appropriation is a sign that many black people in America are comfortable residing on the plantation that the left and the Democratic insist that they continue to dwell. In Bruno Mars defense, many people point out that he always gives credit to the many black artists who came before him, made their mark and firmly established so many musical genres that the world enjoys, but that is not the point.

Bruno Mars does not have to reference the blackness of those great artists from whom he gets his inspiration. Paying homage to the greats is a good thing. The idea that there is a need to emphasize their blackness is none sense. The music was great, and that is what matters more than anything. Everything does not have to be a lesson on racial politics. So when Bruno Mars makes his music, and is recognized for it, he does not have to make race a part of the issue. However, in being grateful for the inspiration provided by the pioneers in the industry, and  giving honor to them he will ultimately be honoring the great black musicians who have planted so much on the cultural landscape throughout the decades. He does not have to apologize for singing the genre of music that he chooses to entertain people. Black people do not own any genre of music simply because it began in the black community.

No one denies that a lot of the rich, cultural musical art forms that the world enjoys were  started in the black community, but black people do not have any exclusive claim to these art forms. Black people in this country are Americans, which makes the music that they produce American music. If they are to apply the standard that whatever started in the black community is the exclusive domain of black people, then that standard has to apply across the board to other races. Whatever was started by white people is the exclusive domain of white people. What ever was started in the Asian community is the exclusive domain of  Asians. Every time black people win accolades for basketball they have to pay homage to the white inventor of the game, and the white greats of the sport. Tiger woods needs to acknowledge how much he owes to the white inventors of golf, and the white greats who went before him, and acknowledge that he is just a black man excelling in a white man’s sport. The Wu Tang Clan needs to be held to the same standard for their “appropriation” of Chinese culture.

This nonsense truly needs to stop. Black people who continue to get themselves caught up in these non controversy controversies really need to free themselves of the chains that liberal leftists have placed around their necks. Stop seeing themselves as victims and creating issues where none exist. Once again, black people do not own any art form. It is not “our music.” Be proud of the gift that black people gave to the world, and move on. Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber or any other artist who is not black does not have anything to explain for their love and appreciation of “black music.” Stop it!

There was a time when people watched the Oscars for the fun, the glamor, the gala, the humor, and the sheer spectacle that it was. Today, like everything else that the left touches, it has been thoroughly corrupted. They have completely turned it into a political event that caters to one side of the ideological spectrum, and  have made a conscious decision to alienate about half of their potential viewing audience. They make it clear that they do not even care. Once again these hypocrites take to the screen to lecture everyone else on decency and virtue as they pontificate perched from atop their bully pulpit ensconced firmly in the cesspool that is Hollywood.

They dare to lecture the rest of the country in self righteous tones about the dangers of guns while they themselves are surrounded by hundreds of well-armed security guards who are there to protect them. The message is clear that the rich and famous who can afford to pay for their high profile security with all the weaponry at their disposal, are deserving of protection, while ordinary Americans are not.

The people who just want to watch the show as a respite from the daily saturation of politics and the problems of life can’t do that because that is the only thing that these beautiful, smart people who are so much better than their audience want to talk about. It’s like walking to the supermarket to buy food, and when you get there, the only thing the employees at the supermarket want to do is tell you how awful the country is, how much inequality exists in the world, and how everyone in the world except the white male is getting a raw deal.  In the mean time all you want to do is buy a loaf of bread, but even the cashiers insist on bombarding you with their political views. It just gets really old really fast, and you never want to shop there for food again. This is the state of the Oscars…oh well. The good thing is that no one has to watch it, so just like the NFL they could keep their product. No one has to embrace the middle finger that they insist on sticking in the faces of the people.

It was absolutely incredible to watch the reactions of people in the news media react to the latest school shooting that happened in Florida recently. In the immediate aftermath of this horror, these people threw all of their scruples in the garbage can and promptly began using the occasion to further their agenda. Their behavior is so shameless that it should warrant a retreat to a journalism ethics camp where they could reflect, and be reminded of their responsibility.

There should not be any doubt that journalism in America is for the most part dead, and this major institution that was supposed to be one of the major guardians of democracy have sold its soul and sacrificed themselves at the altar of leftist ideology and the Democratic Party. What is even more alarming is that they completely lack any self-awareness, and what it would take regain some credibility and perhaps save their beleaguered profession. But  they absolutely do not care, because they have convinced themselves that nothing is wrong.

How did this horror of the shooting go from being something that we should be searching to find real solutions to, to being and anti NRA crusade? The NRA had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting. Nothing! Now everyone is pushing the narrative that it is the NRA’s fault. The NRA is an organization with over five million law abiding members and none of them have ever committed any of these school shootings, neither do they promote violence. They simply defend the right of ordinary citizens to protect themselves the same way that politicians, movie stars, businessmen and all the other privileged in society are able to protect themselves.

The media and the Democratic Party have refused to address the failures that have taken place at so many levels of government that can rightly be blamed for helping to cause this horror. They refuse to address the stupid Obama administration policy that was initiated to address the disparity between whites and “minority students of color” in the so called school to prison pipeline that allowed people like Mr. Cruz, while the was still in school, to get away with acts that under normal circumstances would have gotten him arrested. Because of this misguided policy to “protect students of color,” schools stopped referring disruptive students, and recalcitrant behavior to the police, and in the process this murderous young man was able to get away with his wayward behavior.

All of these massacres have taken place in gun free zones, but no one wants to talk honestly about that. The main emphasis immediately shifted from the maniac who committed this crazy act, and the failure of authorities, to infringing on the rights of citizens and blaming the NRA who had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting. Their anti second amendment agenda is now the main focus, and stirring the masses against the NRA. As the  media continues to push for more gun control, they refuse to tell us exactly how banning the AR fifteen would reduce school shootings, and what law in general would stop a crazed gunman from committing another school shooting like this.

One wonders if at the first news of this shooting, these people collectively shouted a big “YES” in their newsrooms and political headquarters, while pumping their fists in celebration at the thought that this just might be the school shooting that they could use to get the most movement on gun control. They must have been high fiving each other, giving each other pep talks, and passing out candy as they prepped themselves to guide the narrative, working in concert with their Democratic political allies in the face of this awful and absolutely horrible, despicable act. Lets rile up people seems to be their motto. Rahm Emmanuel must be proud! Who can forget his immortal words to “never let a crisis go to waste.”

After a couple of years spewing a bunch of hate at Donald Trump, somebody finally told Lebron James to shut up and dribble after he and Kevin Durant went off on another tangent attacking Trump the other night. Now as a private citizen Lebron James and Durant has a right to criticize the President if he disagrees with his policies, but in none of his rants against President Trump has he ever articulated the specific policies that he disagrees with, and why he disagrees. His rants have been nothing but a series incoherent drivel completely void of any substance, but chock full of emotional outbursts. In typical lefty Democratic fashion, he throws  out insults, engages in name calling, and personally attacks those with whom he disagrees. He has called the President a bum, and directed other insults at him over time. Recently, after going into the Presidents head, reading his mind, and seeing what is in his heart, he declared with his trademark eloquence; the President “does not give a f*** about the people.” So after constantly spewing insults at the President, conservative commentator and Fox News host Laura Ingram called him out on his hateful diatribes and ignorant fulminations. She also made fun of his terrible grammar and implied that he is just a dumb jock talking about stuff he does not know anything about or understands. All hell broke loose after that, and white liberals who see themselves as the defenders of any black person who agrees with their ideology came out in defense of the “King” and Durant. The two hundred million dollar men of privilege living the life of their dreams immediately jumped on the race horse, and now the discussion has shifted to race. You see, for Lebron James and Kevin Durant; it is ok to spout insults and personal attacks against the President all day long, but any response to their vitriol and hatred must be racist. There you go!

The Mockers of Prayer

The mockers of prayer are out in full force again. They jump at every opportunity to stick their middle fingers in the faces of average Americans. They relish heaping their scorn on those who look to God in the difficult times. They declare with dripping sarcasm that the prayers people offer to help cope when things are tough are useless. Thoughts and prayers are not enough they proclaim! No one ever said that it is enough. It is simply one of the powerful mechanisms that helps people cope when the burdens of life seem to weigh them down and the answers to life’s difficult questions are hard to find. The mockers of prayer see themselves as edgy. They are “telling it like it is.” They are “keeping it real.” They believe that they are the smart ones with all the answers to solve all of life’s problems, and anyone who calls out to God in earnest in the time of trouble is just a fool. Pay no attention to the scornful though, and pray even harder when the answers are evasive. Call out to God even louder when the way is hard to find. Pay no attention to the left and the Democratic Party as they try to tear down another pillar of our society when they insist on mocking prayer, and say that “thoughts and prayers are not enough.” No one ever said it was.

 

Evil exists in the world! It is an undeniable fact of life and it does not matter what laws we put in place to prevent bad things from happening.  Bad things will nevertheless happen! That is a cold hard fact of life. Each time there is a an incident like what happened in Florida yesterday, politicians immediately get on their soap boxes to call for more laws that the say would prevent similar incidents from happening.  These atrocities become the vessel for politicians to seek their self-interest, and they do it with the self-righteous gusto and proclamation that it is all for the children. As the situation on the ground unfolded, before all the facts were even known about what transpired, Senator Mike Murphy declared that the epidemic of mass slaughter is because of inaction by congress, suggesting that all we need from Congress is to institute more laws and magically, bad things will not happen anymore. Absent from the pontifications that these politicians give is the issue that is at the core of these horrific events.

Sure laws matter, we cannot have a society that has no laws, but laws alone will not help. There are many other countries around the world that have tougher gun laws but with much higher murder rates. Mr. Murphy will do well to remember that Timothy McVeigh committed his act of carnage using fertilizer, the 911 terrorists used two airplanes, in Norway where there are strict gun laws, Mr. Anders Brevik killed dozens despite these gun laws. But none of this is the point . The deeper issue is to confront the mindset that leads people to commit such vicious acts.

What is it that would drive an individual to make a conscious decision to slaughter innocent, defenseless people in this manner? One of the reasons that we often hear given is that people are mentally ill. That too may be true, but is it at the heart of why all of these incidents keep happening as often as they do? If one considers different scenarios where people commit these acts, mental heath may not be the prime reason for these appalling acts. When MAJ Hassan Nadal opened fire on his fellow Soldiers in Fort Hood, it was not mental illness that drove him to do that. The same can be said for the San Bernardino killers. Timothy McVeigh was not mentally ill. Across the world where these horrific acts are committed, the reasons are often not mental illness. It was not mental illness that drove a young man to enter the home of an Israeli family, killing everyone, including a baby that was just a few months old, by slitting the baby’s throat. These incidents are driven by a different motivator. Warlords in Africa and the people who willingly follow them and terrorize their own people, committing some of the most brutal acts that make Hitler look like Saint Hitler, do not commit their acts because they are mentally disturbed. Of course, it sometimes figures into the equation, but it may be a mistake to think that is the main problem. It may sound simplistic, but the main problem comes down to a question of values and the condition of the heart.

While everything has to be placed on the table in trying to solve this issue, and consideration given to all options, and applied where practicable, the question of evil cannot be ignored. The values that have served the country well for a very long time have to be reinforced across our society so that the idea of committing such an act would indeed be something rare if not completely eliminated. Human beings have proven their capacity for committing horrific acts of evil, and it will continue like that, but perhaps in our society, the values that we instill from early on can make us on of the rare places where this does not happen. If we do not deal with the issue of the heart every other solution will be just a band aid.

White guilt and black victims! What a combination. A bunch of white liberals who so feel the need to assuage the weight of guilt on their shoulders for sins committed by white people before them, that they encourage all kinds of bad behavior by black people, and make excuses for them. They hold black people to such a low standard in the name of being “woke,” and they pat themselves on the shoulder, completely oblivious to the damage that they are doing in the black community because of their actions. Many in the black community look at these white leftists and feel validated in their victim status. They can point to the “caring” white person, and say that even white people agree with them, and understand their plight. The white leftist  then gets to go home feeling righteous, patting him/herself on the shoulder as many of the people who they claim to be fighting form continue to wallow in their predicament, believing there is no way out because they are victims of “the man.”

Check out this ludicrous, stupid, asinine tweet by one of the white leftist enablers who thinks that she is “woke.” Her name is Emily Lakdawalla. She is a “planetary evangelist” (whatever that is) for The Planetary Society. This is what she said, referring to the movie Black Panther “so I carefully did not buy tickets for opening weekend because I did not want to be the white person sucking Black joy out of the theater. What’s the appropriate date for me to by tickets? Is next weekend ok? Now folks, are these people serious with this nonsense? There are at least ten troubling questions all intertwined in this drivel that she tweeted, but there is no need to go through them all because they are all questions screaming for answers. If this does not blow your mind…

The video in the post below is difficult to watch. It is sad, disheartening and troubling. It is also dangerous because if this is where we are headed as a country, the consequences of this kind of sectarianism will be devastating. In listening to these beautiful, seemingly intelligent women speak, one is forced to wonder what drives this type of cynical, and almost dystopian view that they have of the country.  As they rail against Trump and white America, they readily latch on to these terrible views as they embrace stereo types about a whole group of people. These women who are citizens of the United States, with all of its laws, protections, and systems in place to protect everyone against discrimination, honestly see themselves as part of an underclass group of citizens. They see themselves as persecuted in America. To boost their claims of persecution, they cite some anecdotal evidence that they are certain is proof of their status as second class citizens. They use their status as victims to retreat into a cocoon where they get their beliefs and their stereotypes reinforced by like minded provocateurs who share their awful beliefs.

If there is one American who is not bothered by this type of small minded attitude that is a part of leftist ideology, then the country is in a precarious state. This is the kind of rhetoric that should stoke the outrage of every American because it is the opposite of what so many have fought so hard to overcome. The blood of many Americans has been shed in the struggle to overcome this kind of hatred and bigotry in the effort to make America a place where people would be judged by the content of their character as Dr. Martin Luther King once powerfully declared, but here we are. Fifty years after the death of Dr. King, and black people, who more than others, should be weary of this type of attitude, are the ones who are promoting it without any blow back from people in the media, in Academia, Hollywood or regular Americans. This is really outrageous, and if people continue to be given a pass when they speak and behave this way, then; we are in a pretty dark place.

We can be sure that If a group of white women with their own justification for having a similar retreat was to do something similar, there would be no end to the calls of condemnation, but because it is a group of black women, it is ok. It is a guarantee that any rally promoting white supremacy will have more protestors than people attending in support of it. People overwhelmingly respond to white racism in a way that makes it very clear that there is no tolerance for it, and that is the way that it should be. The same principle should apply when dealing with black racism. It is time to put a stop to this nonsense before it begins to truly get out of control and tear the country apart.

When you look at these women, they seem like average, regular Janes.  They don’t seem to be aggressive. They are not loud and obnoxious, they are quite articulate and, they carry themselves with decorum. That makes them even more dangerous. They are dignified, pushing a very dangerous ideology. If anyone reading this thinks that this view of these women is exaggerated, read the words of the leader of the retreat again. She says “I have no tips for a white person” she said “My tip to white people is to let us have our space, let us have our room, and go hang out with other white people. We’re okay. You know, you’ve done enough damage.” She said that she “decided one day to just eliminate white people from my personal life” due to “micro aggressions” and “passive-aggressiveness.” She even believes that white people should not have passports. Observe that none of them gave any real examples of the racist persecution that they talk about in their lives, just regular stuff that everyone has to deal with in some form or another at some time, in other words, life.

While women around the world have to deal with real problems like female genital mutilation, sex slavery, forced marriages as young girls, acid baths, honor killings, denied education and many other hardships, these women sit in their retreat pushing racial segregation while marinating, and basking in their victim status.

It is ironic indeed to hear one of these women declare that her “blackness is strength,” in a brazen display of weakness, as they talk about safe spaces and micro aggressions.

Black people, reject the Democrat Party. This is where they wish to have you. This is the plantation on which they wish to keep you.
