Father: Auburn football player walks after calling children N-word, son arrested

Graphic via Auburn Football

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a win or lose Auburn University fan and supporter.  Several family members have degrees from Auburn,  some are former members of the Auburn Tigers football team.
The following post from the ReddingNewsReview.com is troubling because  it illustrates the plight of African American maless who find themselves catching a case because they dare demand respect for black girls/women, who some feel don't deserve respect.  


It also has shades of the Penn State Football scandal, where it appears  players can do no wrong because they are star members of the football team considering I had to learn of this incident through social media. 
I report.  You decide.

From the ReddingNewsReview.com

The Atlanta father of two Auburn University students is using social media to get justice for his children who he said they were racially harassed and one was sent to jail by two members of the Auburn football team.

Henry M. Carter, of Atlanta, says his daughter Shanice Carter, 20, and his son Kenya Carter, 22, were called N-word and his daughter was called a "bitch" by two members of the Auburn University football team, while at a McDonalds in Auburn on early Saturday morning.

The elder Carter wrote on Facebook: "Reese Dismukes and another person named Patrick [Miller]approach them in an aggressive manner. Calling my Daughter a 'Bitch' and 'Nigger.' My son took offense to their aggression and they said they would crush him like they just crushed a CD that was placed on a table."

He said that the two football players were let go and his son, Kenya, was sent to jail for disorderly conduct.Dismukes is considered one of the best football players in the conference.

He says his son has been released on $300 bond.

"I called the police station when the incident occurred and voice my disapproval of the discriminatory action of the officer and my intention to file a complaint. I have instructed my daughter to press charges against the football players for making terroristic threats. This is a simple case of racism and I will not let it go by. My son has never been arrested

and they will not blemish his good name. DAMN WAR EAGLES!"

You want blacks to work where Massa Rick" DOG Whistle" Santorum?

 gop presidential candidate Rick Santorum (r. Pennsylvania) says he want to stop making black folks lives better by giving them white folks money for doing nothing.  Santorum wants black folks to get off their lazy, shiftless, Donkey's and work for their  money.  

Uh, you want blacks to work and earn money where Massa Santorum Suh?

I guess Rick forgot how his republican brethren shipped all the jobs over seas, then blocked President Obama's jobs bill.

You won't hear it on TeeVee or Talk Radio but, more white Americans are on welfare than black Americans,  thanks to republican follies like all war all the time,   raiding the surplus, giving the rich a  tax cut,  massive deficits , bank bailouts, and chronic unemployment, which lead to record mortgage foreclosures.

Not only does Santorum not want to make black folks lives better, he doesn't want women to have control of their uterus and reproductive organs.  How any self respecting woman could vote for him or any of the other gop a$$ clowns is a mystery to me.

Psst Rick!  The next time you want to blow your dog whistle, get someone else to do it for you.

PA 'Alabama'?

The keystone state has been in the news lately due to revlations of thePenn State child sex abuse scandal, which took me back to the 2008 Presidential primary and campaign when some parts of Pennsylvania were compared to Alabama.

President Obama lost the democratic primary to Hillary Clinton, but carried the state by a 10.31% margin over John McCain in the general election.

McCain did win more counties than Obama, but the counties carried by Obama were by far the most populated of the state, including Philadelphia and Allegheny, home of the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh respectively.[20]

Looks like Pennsylvania wanted to return to the days of slavery and Jim Crow too.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - April 30, 2008 (WPVI) -- A state senator told a black pastor testifying at a committee hearing that, given the chance to cast secret ballots, his fellow legislators would vote to legalize slavery.

Like Alabama,then PA Attorney General, now Governor Tom Corbett filed a lawsuit against the Affordable Health Care Act.

Also like Alabama and Mississippi, Pennsylvania had it's share of prosecution of democrats. There are some who say this is the reason then AG Corbett couldn't find the time to investigate Penn State.

A few days ago Governor Corbett went on the Sunday talk shows, gave some press on Monday and Tuesday regarding Mike McQueary (still) coach at Penn St. Corbett kept repeating that McQueary didn’t meet the “moral obligations” of the shower rape and aftermath.

Before becoming (grown) Governor, Corbett was Attorney General and was on the case since 2009. He knows what was going on since then or should have known what was going on. As he talked to all the hosts he gave what now appears to be 1 version of what happened and it’s not the eye witnesses’ McQueary’s story.

McQueary is seen as a villain for not stopping what happened in the showers, but according to him, he did stop it. Will Corbett face any backlash? He should as he all but convicted McQueary on (possibly) false charges. We have to wait and see who is telling the truth. The eye-witness or the man in charge of the investigation.

Corbett also approved a a 3million dollar grant to Second Mile Charity despite the allegations and the ongoing investigation. That's 3 million of tax payer money going to a private source. Sound familiar?

Gov. Tom Corbett this summer approved a $3 million state grant to The Second Mile, the charity founded by suspected child molester Jerry Sandusky, despite knowing about the sex abuse investigation that later resulted in charges against Mr. Sandusky.

The grant is now on hold, said Mr. Corbett's spokesman, Eric Shirk.

The grant would have helped pay for the first phase of the "Center for Excellence" at The Second Mile, which Mr. Sandusky, a former Penn State University assistant football coach, founded in 1977 to work with troubled children.

The center was a grand dream of Mr. Sandusky's that he said would offer "a sense of [permanence] and a place for our kids to call 'home.' " It would have classrooms, a gym, athletic fields and dormitory space.

The sex abuse football-related scandal isn't the only Penn State cover up.

As news unravels around the grand jury report revealing charges against former Penn State football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky for raping and sexually molesting underage boys, some former black Penn State students are now painfully reliving a scandal that occurred at their university ten years ago. In 2000, the year a janitor witnessed a boy younger than 13 (“Victim 8” in a grand jury report) “pinned against a wall” while Sandusky performed oral sex on him, black students and football players on Penn State’s campus began receiving hate mail.
The hate mail sent to black students had nothing to do with Sandusky’s proclivities, but the two incidences shared something in common: both were ultimately covered up by the university, even as both chain of events grew worse. Sandusky went on to molest and possibly rape more boys, according to a grand jury report (Sandusky denies foul play), and hate mail against black students became death threats.

Race at Alabama

In less than a week, two racially charged incidents that were witnessed by few but now have been discussed by thousands have prompted the president, faculty members and students at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa to publicly decry racism on campus.
On Friday, a member of a white fraternity shouted racial epithets from inside the group’s house at passing student Justin Zimmerman, who is black. The fraternity member, whose name has not been released, reportedly called Zimmerman a “nigger,” then called out, “come here, boy.”
Zimmerman alerted a faculty member, and the next day President Robert E. Witt sent a brief – and vague – e-mail to faculty, staff and students. In its entirety, the message reads, “On Friday evening, a member of the UA student body used a racial slur to refer to another UA student. The words that were used are offensive to our community, and are especially upsetting to African Americans. I want to emphasize in the strongest possible terms that The University of Alabama finds this behavior totally unacceptable, and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.”

I report.

RedEye's Snark Attack

Big shout out to Mack Lyons for breaking down the Birmingham Sewage/Jefferson County Bankruptcy issue. I have not written on the subject because I didn't really understand the dynamics. But I do now. It all boils down to BIOTBG (Blame It On The Black Guy).

In late September, the SEC ended its case for disgorgement against former Birmingham mayor, former Jefferson County commission president and former Fairfield mayor Larry Langford, after the SEC discovered the only asset they could get as part of restitution was a 1/2-interest in his home. It's the only thing he has left, aside from a mess of debts stemming from criminal and civil penalties.

Langford is currently serving a 15-year sentence in federal prison, after being convicted of over 60 counts of bribery and corruption. Given his age (65) and how he won't be eligible to walk out of prison until at least 2023, it's a possibility that this man will die in prison. On the other hand, the two men convicted alongside him, investment banker Bill Blount and former lobbyist Al LaPierre, earned much lighter sentences. True, they plead guilty and Langford didn't, but the disparity in sentencing only raises the usual conclusions about racially-motivated "justice" in this country.

Most AL.com commentators have been chomping at the bit for Langford's demise and rolling around in his family's misery like happy pigs in slop. Blount and LaPierre never got this much bile thrown at them.

The Birmingham Skews on The Almost Certain Uncertainty the residents of Jefferson County face due to the debt sewer debacle.

Maybe only good will come of it—and maybe only bad. In any case it does seem reasonable to expect to see higher rates and to assume that Jefferson County, never exactly the belle of the ball, will now be infinitely less attractive to economic developers of every stripe. (I don’t know about you, but I tend to avoid the aging person with a rotten tooth, bad odor, and a black eye who is in the middle of doing an apparently irresponsible thing. You can never be sure where they’ll take you or what you’ll get.) In any case, today is the first day of our increasingly uncertain future.

ADP Calls for Bachus to Resign Over Lucky, Lucrative Stock Deals. Oh, OK. (RedEye roll). I wonder what part of IOKIYAR (It's OK If You Are A Republican) for elected officials to get rich off insider information don't they understand?

What's that you say? GOP hopefuls would limit federal role in education? I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you. NOT. The GOP wants to go back to the days of separate and unequal education, recreating a lot of under educated black youth so they can form non-profit (sic), faith-based, compassionate, Christan, charitable organizations to provide sports and after school programs to help them. Big Snark. It would be too much like the right (pun intended) to invest in making sure every child had access to a quality public education. Can't have them there disadvantaged youth rising up out of the New Jim Crow.

The Republican Slogan for 2012: Suppress the Vote! Or, If you can't beat em, suppress em.

Aside from making it harder or impossible for certain voters to participate in elections, conservatives are working to assure that the “right” voters are not left out of the system.

You know your campaign is in trouble when you have to resort to making your wife Stand By Her Man and defend you against sexual harassment on TeeVee like a good little wife.

But this time, Gloria Cain has come out fighting.
"You hear the graphic allegations and we know that would have been something that's totally disrespectful of her as a woman," she says in her first televised interview. "And I know the type of person he is. He totally respects women."

I hate to tell you this Gloria, but THIS is Herman Cain's totally respectful sexy job creation plan for women.

“He suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg, under my skirt, and reached for my genitals. He also grabbed my head and brought it towards his crotch.” And then he asked if she wanted that job or not. So technically Herman Cain might be right when he keeps saying those “harassment” charges are false, in the sense that they are actually more like assault.

Update~"Did Race Explain Penn State’s Blind Eye to Sex Scandal?"

H/T VINCENT ALABAMA CONFIDENTIAL In the wake of the shocking pedophile sex scandal unfolding at Penn State University, some sources are suggesting that it might be as big as the "Franklin Scandal."

Update
20 people in Sandusky Indictment but only one told the police.

Over 23 pages 20 people are mentioned: 19 men and 1 woman.

Take a guess who called the police?

Read the list of those mentioned in the indictment at Crewof42.

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Enough of the ghoulish, sordid facts are known about the Penn State University child sex scandal to say this. The alleged child rapes were known by some athletic department members, up to and including the football program boss, JoePa, Joe Paterno. The rumors, or worse, knowledge of the rapes may have been known by or at least heard of by others still unnamed that could eventually be a winding tangle through university staff, faculty, administrators, trustees, and corporate donors, and politicians.
The two prime offenders charged with the crimes were not some causal locker room jocks and hangers on, but long term, respected, and highly positioned athletic department mainstays. The Second Mile Foundation that served as a cover for the alleged rapes by its founder, the disgraced and accused child rapist Jerry Sandusky was not some fly-by-night, drive by, fast buck operation, but a well-established foundation that had been in business for more than three decades. Sandusky was with the Foundation from the start in 1977 until just last year. Even as the scandal unfolds, it is still in business. It has a big, impressive, full bodied website that boasts of its accomplishments, has three offices, and is actively soliciting donations. The reporters that have tried to get a comment from foundation officials have been summarily hung up on.

You won't see it on TeeVee, or read about it in the newspapers but Most Of The Boys MOLESTED By The Penn State Coach . . . WERE BLACK!!! (He Had A FETISH For Black Boys)

Are poor black boys easy targest for sexual predators? You betcha they are.

Let's flip the script.
It was about 9:30 p.m. on March 1, 2002 - the Friday before the beginning of spring break - in the Lasch Football Building on the main campus.

And here is the line:

"He saw a naked white boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be 10 years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked [Black] Man."

Now you tell me race didn't play a role in Penn States ahem blind eye and mainstream media coverage.

About that Second Mile Development Inc./Terry Heights Elementary School deal

West Huntsville Elementary: Appraised for $900,000. Buildings: 45,460 sq. ft. ($19.80 per square foot). Land: 5.42 acres ($166,052 per acre).

For the record, I am not saying the Second Mile Development Inc. in Huntsville, AL is associated or affiliated with the Second Mile Charity (sic) in Pennsylvania. Nor do I have anything personal against the Board of Directors/employees/clients of Second Mile Development, Inc. Again;

I'm just saying if Terry Heights is turned into an after school center it should be a public endeavor, under public control and accountable to the people, not a board of directors. After all, it's our money.

Speaking of our money, let's go inside the offer Second Mile Development, Inc made to the Huntsville City School Board to purchase Terry Heights Elementary School.

Bill McDowell, executive director of Second Mile Development, confirmed Tuesday that the Christian nonprofit has made an offer for the 48,000-square-foot building.
"We're excited about our offer," McDowell said. "We'll be scared and excited if they accept it."
The district seemed to have accepted the offer last week, when approval of the $575,000 contract was placed on the school board's meeting agenda. But the contract was pulled before the meeting.

I wonder if the reason it was pulled before the meeting is because they are not actually offering $575,000 for the 48,000 square foot building and the land it's sitting on.

The contract, as written last week, included a payment of $200,000 upon closing and five years of in-kind services that Second Mile would provide to five of the district's schools.
The services, valued in the contract at $75,000 a year, would be provided at Ridgecrest, McDonnell, Morris and University Place elementaries and Westlawn Middle.

So, Second Mile Development, Inc. is actually paying $200,000 for the 48,000 square foot building and the land it's sitting on. Not a bad deal for Second Mile Development, Inc. but it's stinking deal for we the taxpayers.

Has the property been appraised?If so what is the appraised value? Surely it's more than $575,000 in light of the fact the Downtown Rescue Mission appraised for 3.9 million and nearby West Huntsville, Elementary appraised for $900,000.

Gene Garrett, a private real estate appraiser, valued the newly abandoned West Huntsville Elementary at just $900,000. Four short blocks up Ninth Avenue from the former mission, West Huntsville has less interior space but more land.
"It's a good building," said school board President Doug Martinson Jr., referring to West Huntsville. "Certainly if the rescue mission is worth $3.9 million, then ours should be worth more or closer to it."
"It continues to cause me concern," Russell said this week. "It looks bad that we paid so much."
But Kling, who had long complained of crime near the mission, said that the neighborhood is much improved and that Russell is out of line.

Something is "out of line" all right.

Speaking Out Against The Second Mile offer on Terry Heights Elementary School

Terry Heights Elementary School is pictured in a January file photo. Second Mile Development, a Christian nonprofit, has made the Huntsville school district an offer on the vacant building. (The Huntsville Times)

I have been in a state of shock, shame and disgust since the story broke of Penn State's complicity in covering for a pedophile. It's like rubber necking at the scene of a car accident, I can't stand to watch the news coverage, but I can't not watch the news coverage. Everyday there is some new, disgusting, detail of the cover up of Jerry Sandusky's alleged raping of young boys under the umbrella of Penn State University and The Second Mile Charity.

It was the mention of The Second Mile Charity on MSNBC which got me thinking.....where have I heard that name before....then it hit me...we have a Second Mile non profit right here in Huntsville,AL.

Although the two non-profits are not affiliated in any way they happen to have similar names, organizational structure, and Mission Statements.
Huntsville, AL

Second Mile desires to empower the community where the hopeless can find hope; where children can find love and laughter, where young men and women can look to the future with pride and eager anticipation rather than with fear and dread; where men and women of all ages can discover the depth and the breadth of Christ's love.

The ultimate dream of Second Mile is to bring about, through Christ, reconciliation between all people: the rich and poor, the educated and uneducated, the fortunate and less fortunate.

Pennsylvania

The Second Mile challenges young people to achieve their potential as individuals and community members by providing opportunities for them to develop positive life skills and self-esteem as well as by providing education and support for parents and professionals addressing the needs of youth.

The Huntsville Second Mile is about to enter into an agreement with The Huntsville City School Board, in another step towards privatization of the school system. Once again funneling public money to private entities. Emphasis mine.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- More than two years after shuttering Terry Heights Elementary School, the Huntsville school board appears to have a buyer for the empty building.
Bill McDowell, executive director of Second Mile Development, confirmed Tuesday that the Christian nonprofit has made an offer for the 48,000-square-foot building.
"We're excited about our offer," McDowell said. "We'll be scared and excited if they accept it."
The district seemed to have accepted the offer last week, when approval of the $575,000 contract was placed on the school board's meeting agenda. But the contract was pulled before the meeting.
The reason for the retraction wasn't clear, but Aaron King, transition director for Superintendent Casey Wardynski, said the details were still being negotiated as late as last week.
"It could be that the terms are still not yet finalized," King said Tuesday.
Laurie McCaulley, president of the board, said negotiations ae still ongoing but that the contract should come back to the board for approval soon.
The contract, as written last week, included a payment of $200,000 upon closing and five years of in-kind services that Second Mile would provide to five of the district's schools

.

5 years of in-kind services?

The services, valued in the contract at $75,000 a year, would be provided at Ridgecrest, McDonnell, Morris and University Place elementaries and Westlawn Middle.

Uh, why can't the school system and the city of Huntsville provide these services?

McDowell said the nonprofit aims to form a partnership with about a dozen churches and charitable organizations. The partners would, in turn, team with the surrounding neighborhood to determine how the school would be used.
"Everything's on the table that could be done," McDowell said. "The property lends itself to a lot of opportunities."
The possibilities already discussed include an afternoon art program for teens, various sports programs, an urban gardening center, gardening and nutrition classes, a health clinic and more, McDowell said.

I am vehemently opposed to this proposal in light of the crimes surrounding non profits, churches and disadvantaged youth.

Like Bishop Long with his Youth Academy, Sandusky allegedly used his own children's charity program, The Second Mile, which focused on assisting poor, underprivileged kids, many of whom came from single-parent homes and were struggling in school -- to find his prey. Using his money, fame and the lure of access to prized football facilities and games that any young boy could only dream of, Sandusky likely perverted the mission of the charity by making it a breeding ground for his targets.
The motto of the program, originally founded by Sandusky in 1977, is "Providing Children with Help and Hope"; but the gruesome details of the grand jury report released this week reveal something so damning it rivals the actions of notorious Catholic priests engaged in the highest betrayal. As Stuart Scott, anchor of ESPN's SportsCenter, opined last night, "Short of murder, these allegations are as serious as it gets."

To be clear, I'm not saying Second Mile Huntsville has done anythig wrong, or will do anything wrong, I'm just saying if Terry Heights is turned into an after school center it should be a public endeavor, under public control and accountable to the people, not a board of directors. After all, it's our money.
