Obama: Red-diaper baby silent about the New Black Panther Pampers
Tag: Remember, only white people can be bigots

Truth is trampled in the street and judgment is turned around backward. Nothing inflames people to anger like perceived or real injustice. Throw in the tinder of a deteriorating economy in which millions of people are losing their homes, and raging unemployment, and the situation can become extremely ignitable.
This was the firebox that the city of Oakland found itself in last Thursday. Around 2:30 p.m., word leaked that the verdict in the Johannes Mehserle murder trial would be read at 4 p.m.—the news set off a mass exodus of residents that was just short of resembling a panic, reported the San Francisco Chronicle.
Community organizers and other activists had been out in full force—agitating and instigating. “We are outraged,” said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Residents knew what was coming.
According to reports, downtown streets were flooded with people trying to get out of the city center. Trains were jammed, and the interstates filled up. At the Federal Building, loudspeakers warned workers to head for home. Companies sent out internal e-mails advising the same.
Some businesses had already taken the precaution of boarding up windows. The sign on one store read: “Do not destroy. Black owned. Black owned.” Fortunately for the owners, it was spared.
After the jury verdict was read—convicting white police officer Johannes Mehserle of involuntary manslaughter and not second-degree murder—sporadic rioting broke out, just as predicted, and despite pleas from the black victim’s family for people to maintain calm. By the evening hours, police lost control of the angry protesters. Barricades were breached, and a mob of around 200 sought justice by looting jewelry and clothing stores, damaging property, setting fires and spray painting messages on buildings. Early reports said that up to 100 people were arrested.
It was clear that many non-white people feel that the justice system is racially biased against them—that black people cannot get justice—that the law does not protect them.
This is a view that President Obama became intimately familiar with from his time as a community organizer in Chicago. And it seems like he is trying to fix it. He began with nominating Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Sotomayor controversially believes that when determining what a crime is, and the penalty for it, a judge should take into consideration the race and cultural background of the offender. She became famous for her remark: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
Unfortunately, President Obama’s fix will only make matters worse.
Following the Mehserle verdict, the U.S. Justice Department, under Attorney General Eric Holder, says it will review the case to see if it can find a way to prosecute Johannes Mehserle under federal jurisdiction for civil rights violations. Holder is America’s first black attorney general, and was also appointed by President Obama. Holder’s decision to investigate the case normally might not have drawn much scrutiny, except for the fact that he, like President Obama, has been very vocal about America’s racial problems.
In a speech commemorating Black History Month, he said America was a nation of “cowards” when it came to race problems—and that essentially the majority of Americans were mild racists. “I think we have an obligation. We have to continue the fight of all the people who I mentioned in my speech [non-whites] to really kind of ultimately get this nation to the place where I think it can and should be.”
Holder’s Justice Department is currently under scrutiny for another high-profile race-based case—and for its apparent belief/policy that racism is almost exclusively a white people’s problem.
Last week, Justice Department whistle-blower J. Christian Adams leveled accusations that Obama officials, including Holder, believe “civil rights law should not be enforced in a race-neutral manner and should never be enforced against blacks or other national minorities.”
As one example, Adams cited a Justice Department decision to drop a case against the black supremacist hate group, the New Black Panther Party. This is the group whose leader believes if “you want freedom, you gonna have to kill some crackers. You gonna have to kill some of their babies.” For our international readers not up to speed on racial slurs, “crackers” is a euphemism for white people.
In the case in question, New Black Panther Party members were videotaped intimidating voters during the 2008 U.S. presidential election. One member dressed in military garb waved a metal rod around while shouting profanities and racial slurs at white voters, causing some to leave.
When career Justice Department prosecutors brought the case to court, the New Black Panther Party didn’t even show up to contest the charges, and the judge found in favor of the prosecution. The next step was determining penalties and sentencing—but a high-ranking Justice Department official arbitrarily ordered the case be dropped. In exchange, the Justice Department got a promise that the New Black Panther Party member in question would not bring a weapon to a voting station until 2012.
Just prior to the election, the Philadelphia chapter New Black Panther leader told the Philadelphia Daily News: “I’m about the total destruction of white people. I’m about the total liberation of black people. I hate white people. I hate my enemy …. The only thing the cracker understands is violence. … The only thing the cracker understands is gunpowder. You got to take violence to violence.”
If what whistle-blower Adams says is true, “lawlessness” runs rampant throughout the Justice Department—and the hierarchy refuses to use the law to protect all races against racism—even when racism is blatant. The unofficial—and possibly now the official—policy is to only pursue cases in which the victims are minorities. The Obama administration instructs government attorneys to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims, Adams told a Senate panel. It is reverse racism at its highest.
Most recently, Eric Holder began floating the possibility of leveling a racial profiling suit against Arizona.
Even some black leaders have spoken out against the Justice Department’s new racism-based policy. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of bond Action, notes that any racism is wrong. “It wasn’t good when it happened to black people in the past way back when, and it’s not good to happen to white Americans today,” he says. “I just hope white Americans really wake up and realize that they are under attack because of their color.”
“It seems that there’s a double standard; there’s reverse racism going on,” says Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church.
Peterson says the actions of Eric Holder and Barack Obama are only empowering the New Black Panther Party and others like it.
Unfortunately, America doesn’t know the way to peace. There is no wisdom. America’s leaders are groping around like blind men in the dark.
But the reality is that the sun is out and getting hotter, America’s leaders are playing games with magnifying glasses, and society is sitting on a pile of dried leaves and twigs. Under these conditions, combustion is inevitable.
You cannot heal differences between people or races by treating people differently under the law. The law must be the same for all, otherwise it promotes hard feelings, a sense of injustice—and ultimately conflict. If America is not careful, it may soon have white-empowerment groups becoming mainstream too. What do you think that would do to race relations?
The answer to America’s race problems is law—God’s law.
The Bible talks about a time when justice would leave the land. In Isaiah 59, God warns that because people have forgotten Him and His commands, “judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.”
Judgment is backward. Truth is trampled. And there is no equity. Sound like America today?
“The way of peace they know not,” says God. “And there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.”
God is not a respecter of persons. Anciently, He commanded Israel that all Israelites were to be equal under the law. The law was not to respect certain individuals or groups more than others. “Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour” (Leviticus 19:15).
In Zechariah 7:9-10, God says, “Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger [or foreigner], nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”
As long as America refuses to recognize and uphold God’s laws as outlined in the Bible, there will be no peace between the races. In fact, the book of Ezekiel prophesies that America’s actions are leading the nation toward a full-blown race war (Ezekiel: The End-Time Prophet, Chapter 4).
Injustice inevitably leads to conflict. When it is racially motivated, it leads to race war.
Yet a merciful God gives America the answers to its racial problems: Just uphold His law. •
“I didn’t suggest it I said it. In the videos I saw most of the perps were white.”
I thought that they had a reddish tint.
LOL The police car fires cast that tint on a lot of the videos.

Obama: Red-diaper baby silent about the New Black Panther Pampers
Tag: Remember, only white people can be bigots
““Racism”, “ethnocentrism”, etc. are actually basic human traits - humans are “tribal”. Civilization and religious teaching has gone a long way in modifying this hateful human behavior. We, as a nation, have made tremendous progress over the last 40 years in trying to create a truly “color blind” society.”
A very wise man once said:
“Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.”
The first sentence of you statement above is in line with this wisdom. After that, you go wrong.
The essence of conservatism is to see the world as it is, to see things as they are, to understand that which is natural and, ergo, normal, including human behavior. And - having come to that understanding - to realize that there are human behaviors and traits that are so ingrained, so innate, that they can never be simply wished away in dreams, or legislated away with laws. They are simply “there”, and remain there, no matter what we do.
Your second sentence is correct, except for one word: “hateful”. Where did that come from? Yes, we have done everything we could to “modify” a certain type of human behavior, and after bookfuls of laws and billions of dollars, where has that gotten us? Do you believe in “hate crime laws”? After all, aren’t they supposed to “get rid of hate?”
You might have answered those questions in your last sentence, but there you drive completely off the cliff. Indeed we (particulary “we” the Euros) have bent over backwards, flipped a dozen rearward affirmative-action somersaults, in “trying to create a truly color blind society”. But in truth, we make no progress at all, and our nation has only grown more and more divided.
Indeed, it was roughly forty to fifty years ago that things began to run off-course, to bring us to the approaching disaster we faintly see on the horizon today.
I take it you consider yourself to be a conservative, hence the reason you are here. Look around at other nations in historical retrospective — places like The Balkans come to mind. Places where there were ethnic divisions that are in truth much less severe than the ethnic/racial divisions and factions we now have here in the United States.
Looking at such nations, where has any country survived such divisions?
Does simply believing that we can declare ourselves to be an egalitarian society, and yet introduce into our borders all the ethnic/cultural/racial divisions that normally break nations apart, override the “human traits” you wrote about above?
Again, the quote:
“Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.”
I think you would agree that it’s preposterous to suggest that we could change the Earth’s climate and have the hubris to enact laws to that effect.
But I proffer to you that it would be even MORE difficult to change some of the most basic elements of human nature.
Can mere laws can “change” them, as well?
If you believe Obamao is THE Antichrist, you need to read your Bible. The False Prophet must come before the Antichrist. There are also specific events that must take place before the Antichrist comes to power.
Now that Komrade Holder has declared an open season on “Crackers” who apparently may now be looted, plundered, carjacked, robbed, mugged, raped, mauled, tortured and/or killed with total impunity by “Brudders” so inclined to seek “racial justice”, it will be interesting to see how this new policy works out this summer and leading up to the elections... assuming that we will be allowed to have any.
Is it now a crime to defend yourself against a “minority” attacker I wonder? Just curious...
Since White voter intimidation is now officially condoned, us “Crackers” might want to vote by absentee ballot as much as possible from now on.
So the court ruled that the Panthers can’t bring weapons to the polling stations UNTIL 2012?
Then I suppose they can set up a machine gun at the door, eh? Oh; that’s going to be fun!
The rioting in the Bible was a lot worse than what happened in Oakland. Take Joshua for instance:
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, [7] so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. 22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. 23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, [8] and left them without the camp of Israel. 24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
You must be very young. It used to be that every educated English speaker knew of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. It is an ancient folk tale.
this will blow over unfortunately...although Holder will continue his ways
Maybe not. It keeps getting legs with this just out:
Former DOJ Colleagues Confirm Whistleblower Adams’ Accusations [Link to affidavit]
It's likely a real story, too.

BO as the Pied Piper:
Iread your profile. Why are you invading my computer to publish my IP address, ISP provider, Operating system and number of uploads? I insist that you remove it.
A 50 caliber water cooled would probably work better.
Only the fringe right wing extremists would do that.
Progressives would easily recognize that Zer0 is either a mulatto or possibly an quadroon or octoroon.
As previously noted, one should just describe one's self as a RGB triplet in hex approximating the scanned color of the back of one's hand. Example: A1 98 50.
There are some whites who will develop negative attitudes towards minorities if the minorities continue to recieve preference from the government. They will resent that they are held to a higher standard both politically and socially.
“...New Black Panther Party members were videotaped intimidating voters during the 2008 U.S. presidential election. One member dressed in military garb waved a metal rod around while shouting profanities and racial slurs at white voters, causing some to leave.”
You can DO these things when you KNOW that you are a member of a ‘favored class’ before the law and will NOT be penalized. NO white persona would EVEN consider this kind of behavior much less carry it out.
Part of their calculations is that if they can link the Tea Party to racism, they can link Sarah Palin to racism, as well as energize black voters
Haven't heard that one in almost 40 years
