As a survivor of the
domestic terrorism of the
Civil Rights Movement,
EYE think
America is going back to the future.
EYE don't know if
the election of the first president who is black
bought out the
worst in some (not to be confused with all) white people, but if this is the result EYE fear Barack Hussein Obama will be the
first and last president who is black of these United States of America.
Today, a large part of the population remains willfully racist, [TEA PARTY] and
by extension, a great number of people have also become unconsciously
so, buying implicitly into stereotypes about Black Americans as
dependent and lazy [MITT ROMNEY]; and thus determined to stop social programs [CRUZ] and limit the federal government’s influence [PAUL] — even if it is not to their own benefit. In a sense, much of the middle class population has been HOODWINKED into voting for the interests of the top one percent GOP because of their own unconscious prejudices.
FBI warning of of white supremacist infiltrating law enforcement nearly forgotten. EYE wonder why?
Snark
In near prophetic fashion, after the FBI’s warning, white supremacy
extremism in the U.S. increased, exponentially. From 2008 to 2014, the
number of white supremacist groups, reportedly, grew from 149 to nearly a
thousand, with no apparent abatement in their infiltration of law
enforcement.

SWB (Shopping While Black) in Sweet Home Alabama.
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan recently had a
run-in with a mall security guard in Opelika, Ala., and is claiming she
was racially profiled. On Friday, Jordan was in Opelika to see Ginuwine
perform, but both Jordan and Ginuwine were thrown out of the Auburn Mall
because she wouldn’t remove her sunglasses, she says.
Meanwhile, there is some
Strange Fruit in Georgia.
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I hear stories like the recent one about Roosevelt Champion, I get a little nervous.
"A black man who'd recently been questioned in connection with the
death of a white woman was found dead hanging from a tree Monday morning
in rural Greensboro, Georgia, police said. Local and state investigators said there was nothing to immediately suggest foul play.
Adventures in double standards #Baltimore edition, Because black folks.....
Riots led by largely white participants over largely innocuous things (your favorite sports team lost, your favorite sports team won, your favorite event just ended, you're drunk, others are drunk so let's tear sh*t up) are never treated with the racial disdain that the highly uncommon riots that occur in black communities receive.
There's no condemnation of white Americans as a whole, nor are there any
calls for the Caucasian community to restrain itself and seek
non-violent means of expressing itself. They're not denigrated as
"thugs," accused of being "out of control" or used as fodder for
unreconstructed fantasies of putting them back in their rightful place.
Even the language becomes different - these are "disturbances," not
"riots." They're not "thugs," but "young party goers" and "revelers" who
just happen to be "over-exuberant."
So much for
HOPE for CHANGE we can believe in.
