Academy Awards non-racism called out by racists

Image
In an effort to keep racism alive in this country, the Twit0sphere exploded with angry twits from clueless race baiters yesterday when the Academy Award nominee list revealed that there was not enough diversity on the list. Within minutes, #oscarsowhite gained enough steam to actually become a thing thanks to the racist Twits that flooded the internet. After disappearing from the public eye after several news sources covered the horrifying death  of a St. Louis white guy by several black teenagers (using hammers), Al Sharpton reappeared to announce that he would have an emergency meeting to discuss the unchecked racism running  rampant in Hollywood. Sharpton began his diatribe with a very soothing statement meant to ease tensions on the subject: "The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets ," Isn't that special? That will surely bring people to realize that race is a very important topic in this country and that it is a h...

Can't we all just get along?

Apparently not, as long as black continue to believe that white cops have it out for them. Statistics show that white cops don't kill blacks any more than black cops kill black suspects, but let's not let these facts get in the way of the race relations of our country. I'm a white guy and I cannot relate to the black guy's assertion that he is targeted by the police and profiled more than I am. Perhaps that is true, however I do not put myself in situation that raises police suspicion of me. For some reason, the sweeping generalization that  "Not all people who wear hoodies are criminals, but all criminals wear hoodies" comes to mind. Before you start shaking your fist at me, I do understand that their are racist cops, however I am just looking at the statistical data to support the ongoing claim that there is an epidemic of white on black crime, specifically by white cops.

Obama Race Card played... again

Image
During a televised speech to Congress in which Obama was discussing his new health care reform, South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson yelled out, "You lie!" when Obama stated that illegal immigrants will not be covered by the new plan. I'm glad that Wilson got that off his chest and expressed what millions also feel about this health care joke that this administration is trying to force feed the American public. Don't get me wrong, the system we have now doesn't suit everyone and thousands have no coverage. People complain about Medicare (health care for people 65 and older) and Medicaid (healthcare for people with low income) and how broke the system is and that something needs to be done quickly before they pull the plug on Grandma. I feel compelled to remind people that Medicare/Medicaid are government programs; if the government has jacked these 2 important programs up then what makes you think the Obama plan will be any better? Reagan said it best: But I d...

Hawaii Racism kept alive via radio host

Hawaii Senate Majority Leader Gary Hooser (D- 7th; Kauii, Niiihau)had an on-air interview with Perry and Price, one of Hawaii's oldest talk show programs. In the wake of the Waikele parking lot beatings and the bad press this state has received in recent months concerning racism, Larry Price thought it would be a good idea to bring up Senator Hooser's ethinicity as it relates to helping the State and other irrelevancies. Here is the transcript: Price: "You keep using the word 'honest' senator; where you from?" Hooser: "Where am I from? Kapa'a." Price: "Yeah, where were you born and raised?" Hooser: "I was born in California. I graduated high school at Radford High School." Price: "You got blue eyes?" Hooser: "(Laughs) I do. Does that matter?" Price: "Yes, to us it does. Because when local people hear somebody from the Mainland talk about how honest everything is that means that something's wrong. Y...
