The Audacity of a Conservative Court

Like it or not, you gotta love it.
 
If you read the papers today you would see that the Supreme Court ruled 9 – 0 in favor of 6,000 black applicants for firefighter suing the City of Chicago. At least that’s the way it’s being reported.
 
While to phrase it that way is not completely untrue, it was [...]

The Ying And Yang Of Gang

It’s a tale of two cities.
Well, actually it’s just one city with two examples of what seems to be an unsolvable problem.
In one case, parents of students at the now infamous Fenger High School are planning to boycott the school by keeping their children home to protest what they see as a lack of security [...]

The IOC Racist Snub

There can be but one answer to Chicago’s unsuccessful attempt in being granted the 2016 Olympic Games.
Racism!
Oh sure, Mayor Daley is white and Chicago has a majority of white residents. But the fact that Chicago was represented by America’s historic first black President and black First Lady can only mean that the International Olympic Committee [...]

More Lynching’s

There were several lynching’s in Chicago this weekend.
Well they may as well have been lynching’s as far as the poor victims are concerned. They’re just as dead.
It was another vivid example of what young blacks face in this country. These lynching’s were carried out without the use of rope or a tree, not by an [...]

Playing The Well Worn Race Card……Again

Here we go again!
How many misrepresentations? How many instances? How many unqualified and unsubstantiated stories? How many times can this stupid racism card get played before someone has the stones to say “ENOUGH”!
The latest in what has become the never ending parade of poor black men suffering under the cruel yoke of [...]

Stastically Speaking 3

OK. You want honest and open? Here we go.
Is there still a dividing attitude of racism in America? Yes, but it runs on both sides of the racial chasm. And while racism still exists, the perception or claims of racism is far greater than the actual occurrence.
You would be hard pressed [...]

Statistically Speaking Part 2

Let’s continue our discussion on race.
I listen carefully when the local newscasters drop their fake “buddy buddy banter” and read an actual news story. I am constantly amazed at the blatant attempt to give every detail of a crime except the race of the perpetrator.
In a recent TV news story several members of [...]

Statistically Speaking

The truth is that 82% of all statistics presented as the truth are made up on the spot. And the rest….well, let’s just say that numbers don’t lie, but the people reporting them sometimes do
As the country continues its preordained, politically correct discussion on race, the facts are getting skewed by the intentional misuse [...]

The Art Of Apology

We have become quite adept at the art of apology.
“I’m sorry”. It’s easy to say. It must be. We seem to say it all the time whether we mean it or not.
Other than as an expression of grief where it is not used as an apology at all, such as “I am so sorry” said [...]

A Presidential Racist

Stupid police in a nation of cowards.
The President decided to jump into the fray of the poor black professor who was arrested by the mean-spirited white policemen in Cambridge, Mass. While admitting he didn’t know if race actually played a part in the arrest, Obama did make the presidential proclamation that the police “acted stupidly”. [...]
