We Know Why They Weren't Arrested

This video will prove what we've known all along. American citizens are now second class when it comes to Islamists and illegal aliens (they are not one and the same). If this does not make your blood boil, you may find that you do not have an allegiance to the country which God has given you the right to say so.

Try that in, oh, let's say Saudi Arabia...

Here is the link just in case my computer has a problem with the video.

Sherrod Treated Southern Blacks Badly?

When I read what is below, I got very angry. I apologize to every black person for asking people not to speak poorly about Ms. Sherrod. I do not understand for life of me how anyone can treat people in such a manner and still consider themselves to be a part of the Civil Rights Movement. She should have put on a sheet...

Massa Shirley Sherrod?

Black Conservatives Speak Out on Leftist Accusations About Past Unfair Labor Practices From New Civil Rights Hero.

Washington, D.C. - A bombshell accusation by the left against fired U.S. Department of Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod regarding alleged grossly improper labor practices against black farm workers in the 1970s is causing members of the Project 21 black leadership network to speak out.

"There has been a mighty effort by liberals to present Shirley Sherrod as a victim -- even a saint-like figure. However, after revelations that her husband, Charles, is an anti-white bigot and that she adheres to class warfare politics, it's now being alleged that Ms. Sherrod presided over the crass exploitation of poor black workers on a southwest Georgia agricultural 'plantation,'" said Project 21 member Joe R. Hicks.

Hicks, a former executive director of the Greater Los Angeles chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and currently host of "The Hicks File" at PJTV.com, added: "The fellow making the claim is none other than Ron Wilkins, an ex-SNCC organizer, who should know what he's talking about. Wilkins says he once worked on the Sherrod-managed plantation in the 1970s. I know this guy from the early days of 'Black Power' politics in Los Angeles and he's known to be a straight shooter. If Wilkins claims are proven to be true, Sherrod owes an explanation and an apology -- not only to Wilkins but the other black farm workers she misused."

In an article posted on the left-wing Counterpunch web site on August 2, Ron Wilkins reported that Shirley Sherrod and her husband, Charles, helped manage the New Communities, Inc. farm in Albany, Georgia in the 1970s. Wilkins claimed the Sherrods and other managers "under-paid, mistreated and fired black laborers -- many of them less than 16 years of age -- in the same fields of southwest Georgia where their ancestors suffered under chattel slavery."

Wilkins, a former organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee who is now a professor at California State University - Dominguez Hills, says he infiltrated the NCI operation in 1974 on behalf of a group overseeing NCI called the Emergency Land Fund. Wilkins claims his later efforts to organize NCI workers while working there led to his firing, eviction for an NCI-owned "shack" and arrest on "bogus" charges.

Wilkins added:

Shirley Sherrod was New Communities Inc. store manager during the 1970s. As such, Mrs. Sherrod was a key member of the NCI administrative team, which exploited and abused the workforce in the field. The 6,000-acre New Communities Inc. in Lee County promoted itself during the latter part of the 1960s and throughout the 70s as a land trust committed to improving the lives of the rural black poor. Underneath this facade, the young and old worked long hours with few breaks, the pay averaged sixty-seven cents an hour, fieldwork behind equipment spraying pesticides was commonplace and workers expressing dissatisfaction were fired without recourse.

In 1974, 67 cents had the purchasing power of $2.91 in 2009 dollars according to the website measuringworth.com. Wilkins claims he made $40 a week ($174 in 2009 dollars) at the time he was fired. His 2010 claims about conditions at the NCI farm and managers' anti-labor behavior are reported in a September 28, 1974 article in the United Farm Workers newspaper El Malcriado -- which specifically cites Charles Sherrod as a manager of the farm.

"It truly is shocking to see someone supposedly dedicated to civil rights now exposed for her involvement in the ugly exploitation of black workers approaching their total abuse in the ante-bellum South," said Deroy Murdock, a Project 21 member who is also a nationally-syndicated columnist with Scripps Howard News Service and media fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. "Once again, those on the right are supposed to be the 'bad guys' who make life difficult for black Americans. Yet here we have Shirley Sherrod, hailed as a black civil rights leader, allegedly taking advantage of poor black Americans, keeping them poor and firing those who complain about mistreatment."

Counterpunch is a web site edited by respected leftist journalists Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair. Wilkins' article can be found here, and a scan of the El Malcriado article can be found here while the entire newspaper in which the article is found is at http://tw0.us/MkU.

Wilkins reports that NCI went out of business in 1985.

I will leave you with this last thought. Is it worth to gain the whole world and lose your own soul, Ms. Sherrod?

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again. Digg!

Black on Black Truth?

I am so grateful for these brave men and women who speak out even though it is inpolitically correct to do so, to see that truth is not subverted by the very racists that extol it. I love my brothers and sisters, and you can't change that!

Black Conservatives Rebut Tea Party Racism Claims.

Here is the link for YouTube in case the video is not working.

Answering a question from a CNN reporter, Project 21 members Niger Innis (of the Congress of Racial Equality) and Bob Parks, along with Frantz Kebreau of the National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of All Colors, question the validity of claims that the tea party movement is racist. Niger points out the "agent provocateur" angle, Bob talks about misrepresentation and Frantz questions whether the charges of racism are hyped from the very start.

Too much great stuff in here to summarize further. Just watch it all!

Okay, I have to share one great line from Niger Innis in the video above at the 6 minute mark: "Jackie Robinson did not complain about fastballs."

Yes, we are Conservatives. Yes, we care about the individual rights. Do you not understand that you also are an individual? Do not ever let anyone brainwash you into thinking you are not. You decide what you like to eat, watch on TV, whether or not you even like TV, what to wear, how to wear it, etc.

With so many decisions to be made, do you REALLY want the government's permission to do them all? Well, of course, except abortion. That way the democrats can keep the population down and have fewer black and hispanic voters because truth be told, it's the white vote that elects them.

If we took each and every vote by the blacks and hispanics, they still would not add up. Have you not noticed that things are always getting worse when you have democrat (and liberal republican) governors, mayors, councilmembers, etc?

I learned a long time ago that to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result is foolish. Please, I care about individuals such as yourself. That is why I am saying this. If you would like to have an honest conservation, leave me a comment. We can work something out. Have a blessed day.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again. Digg!

NAACP Should Lose Nonprofit Status

There have been times when different organizations throughout our history whom have called for the nonprofit status of a group to be dishonored and suffer the loss of such nonprofit status after it has been proven that said group is politically partisan. I am sad to say that I agree this is one of those times.

Below you will find some people who agree with me (of course). The difference? They are also black, and they are fed up with the hypocracy. Please read further.

NAACP Executive Caught on Tape Lying About Tea Party Attendance

If the NAACP Will Lie About This, What Else Might Its Leadership Be Lying About?.

Washington, D.C. - In [an] appearances on the Fox News Channel this week, NAACP executive Hilary Shelton claimed he attended a major tea party event despite having said three days before that he had not attended a tea party, was "afraid" to go to a tea party rally and had only watched media reports about them.

"Did Hilary Shelton lie to me?" asked Deneen Borelli, full-time fellow with the Project 21 black leadership network. "If he can't give a simple, straightforward answer about whether he has been to a tea party, that certainly calls the truthfulness of his other claims about the tea party movement into question."

On the July 16 edition of "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel, Borelli and Shelton — the NAACP's senior vice president for advocacy — debated the merits of the NAACP's resolution decrying alleged instances of racism at tea party events. In this debate, Shelton claimed to have attended the tea party rally at the U.S. Capitol on the weekend of the House of Representative's vote on health care:

Borelli: "Have you been to a tea party?"

Shelton: "I was. As a matter of fact I was on Capitol Hill at that tea party rally "

However, on the July 13 edition of "America Live," he had a different answer when asked the same question by Phil Dennis of the Dallas Tea Party:

Dennis: "Have you been to a tea party event?"

Shelton: "I have watched you on TV. I'm afraid to go I have not."

Which is it?

"The increasing politicization of the NAACP is putting the reputation of this venerable civil rights institution at risk. For it to be allowed to be used as a weapon to attack the tea party movement calls its credibility into question, and Hilary Shelton telling two tales of his interactions with the tea party is troubling," added Borelli. "I would suggest he take the time to read the tea party's Contract from America and attend a tea party rally — for the first or second time — with an open mind."

Video of both interviews can be seen at [the] [ConservativeBlog.org].

Borelli has a statement about the NAACP's racism allegations at the BigGovernment.com website [snip] and another at the FoxNews.com website [snip], has appeared repeatedly on the Fox News Channel to discuss the issue (clips at the SunnyDayAmerica YouTube channel [snip], and joined in a press release condemning the NAACP allegations with other members of Project 21 in a press release[:

"Progressives have hijacked the NAACP to the extent that the group stands silent as conservative blacks suffer indignities for their beliefs. Some NAACP even egg on this appalling behavior – providing political cover and lapdog services for these elitists," said Project 21 member Kevin Martin. "As a conservative black man, I have felt more welcomed and at home within the tea party movement than among those of my own who side with the this new NAACP. If a few random signs of President Obama looking like the Joker is indeed racist, then where was the NAACP when conservative blacks are depicted as lawn jockeys, Oreos and Uncle Toms?"

More allegations were made] in a series of statements at BigGovernment.com.

This is a group that is fair and does not discriminate. Isn't that what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about? Black or white, yellow or red, we are all Americans. We are brothers and sisters. To hate your brother or sister is to hate yourself. Is this why Conservatives are happier than Liberals? Perhaps. We live each new day as it comes, and that's the way life ought to be without the government interference! Have a blessed day.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again. Digg!

Dem's Violate 1965 Voting Rights Act

Below please find a press release that I never in my lifetime ever wanted to read.

Black Leader Calls for Special Counsel to Investigate Possible Voting Rights Corruption at Justice Department

Political Appointees Said to Overrule Career Staff in Election Intimidation Case

Washington DC: In light of a Washington Times report today that political appointees at the U.S. Department of Justice forced career prosecutors to drop and/or reduce charges against men observed intimidating Philadelphia voters last election day, Project 21 Chairman Mychal Massie is calling for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate this alleged obstruction of the Voting Rights Act by the Obama Administration.

"From all accounts, this was a clear-cut violation of peoples' right to vote without fear and intimidation, but the Obama Administration appears to be trying to sweep it under the rug," said Massie. "After all of the allegations about the Bush Administration politicizing the Justice Department, this smacks of either extreme ignorance or extreme hubris on the part of their successors. Whatever the case, an independent investigation is needed to get to the bottom of what's going on over there."

According to media reports, on November 4, 2008, Malik Zulu Shabazz, King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense were seen on national television standing outside a Philadelphia polling place in military-style uniforms. Jackson was an official poll watcher that day, representing the 14th Ward Democratic Committee.

Bartle Bull, a long-time civil rights activist who was working as a poll watcher in the area, said in a government affidavit that he saw the men using a nightstick to intimidate voters. Bull said their "clear purpose" was to "intimidate voters with whom they did not agree." He also said he heard them tell a white poll watcher, "you are about to be ruled by a black man, cracker."

A civil suit filed by the Justice Department in January alleged the men violated the Voting Rights Act "by continuing to direct intimidation, threats and coercion at voters and potential voters." After none of the men appeared in court to face the charges, the government sought a default judgment against them.

According to interviews and documents obtained by the Times, the lawyers were later ordered to reverse themselves and ask for the cases against Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson to be dismissed. A default judgment was pursued against King Samir Shabazz to simply prohibit him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of an open polling place until November 15, 2012.

Justice Department spokesman Alejandro Miyar told the Times: "Claims were dismissed against the other defendants based on a careful assessment of the facts and the law."

"We've got reports of one of the most blatant violations of the Voting Rights Act in recent memory, and the Obama Justice Department is essentially taking a pass. What's wrong here?" asked Massie. "One could easily surmise that this is Chicago-style payback for helping Obama win the election. That would be a crime in Washington. The only way to find out who did what and for what reason is to bring someone in from the outside to get to investigate these very troubling allegations."

The Washington Times article, "Career lawyers overruled on voting case; Black Panthers had wielded weapons, blocked polls," by Jerry Seper, is available online here.
