Lethal Injection: 30 Years of Hypocrisy

/

Neely Fuller - "White Supremacy is always practiced with deceit, or with direct violence, or with a greatly sophisticated combination of both." From [HERE] TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, Art. 43.24. TREATMENT OF CONDEMNED.  No torture, or ill treatment, or unnecessary pain, shall be inflicted upon a prisoner to be executed under the sentence of the law.

Hypocrisy: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially: the false assumption of an appearance of virtue.

30 years ago, just after midnight, Dec. 7, 1982, Texas executed Charlie Brooks with a lethal cocktail of three drugs.  Texas had been execution-free for 18 years, since 1964.

The first African American executed in the U.S. since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, Brooks’ final words were an Islamic prayer (“There is no God but Allah. Verily do we belong and verily unto Him do we return.”) followed by a “stay strong” to his girlfriend.

He had been sentenced to death for murdering an auto mechanic named David Gregory, but it was unclear if he or his accomplice had pulled the trigger, and the prosecutor had tried to stop the execution.  The courts and the Governor had declined to intervene.  A needle had already been inserted into Brooks’ arm when an unseen prison employee behind a curtain started the flow of lethal drugs.  In seven minutes, after a period of gasping and wheezing, two doctors examined him and Dr. Ralph Gray pronounced him dead.

This was also the first lethal injection execution in the U.S.  Amnesty International said it was “especially repugnant” because “medical techniques and personnel are meant to sustain life, not take it.” There have been over 1,100 lethal injection executions in the U.S. since then, and every state that still executes uses lethal injection as its primary killing method.

Racist Suspect George Zimmerman Edits out "F'cking Coon" from 911 Tape He Filed with Court in lawsuit against NBC

/

NBC's edited tape did not make Zimmerman look racist. George Zimmerman made himself look racist when he said, "f'cking coons' on the 911 tape.  From [HERE] Racist suspect George Zimmerman filed a lawsuit against NBC claiming that NBC made him (George) look racist in a edited 911 tape they aired. The thing is, when George Zimmerman filed his Complaint with the Court, he, Zimmerman, edited out the portion of the 911 tape that George makes himself look racist when he said, "F'cking Coons." (listen to Time Stamp 2:22)

Also, at Time Stamp 3:20, on the tape you can hear George knocking or taping on a door and if you listen closely you can hear George say: "Keep an eye on my truck."  Who did George say that to, and why did he edit those words out of the Transcript he filed with the Court?

       Try to wrap your head around that one.  

Zimmerman files a lawsuit with the Court claiming he has suffered damages of "emotional distress" from an edited 911 tape that he claims made him him look racist -- but at the same time -- Zimmerman gives the Court his own edited version of same 911 tape by cutting out his own comment: "F'cking Coons"

Comparing the completely unedited 911 Tape to Zimmerman's edited version.

      Transcript Unedited 911 Tape of George Zimmerman saying "F'cking Coon"

911 dispatcher: We’ve got them on the way. Just let me know if this guy does anything else.

[1:39]
Zimmerman: OK. These assholes, they always get away.

When you come to the clubhouse, you come straight in and you go left. Actually, you would go past the clubhouse.

911 dispatcher: OK, so it’s on the left hand side of the clubhouse?

[2:08]
Zimmerman: Yeah. You go in straight through the entrance and then you would go left. You go straight in, don’t turn and make a left. He’s running.

911 dispatcher: He’s running? Which way is he running?

[2:14]
Zimmerman: Down toward the other entrance of the neighborhood.

911 dispatcher: OK, which entrance is that he’s headed towards?

[2:22]
Zimmerman: The back entrance.  ‘F-ing coons’

911 dispatcher: are you following him?

Oakland police give up control over department

/

From [HERE] Oakland police officials have agreed to surrender authority of the department's command staff to a court- appointed director.

The Oakland Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/RDf5GA ) the agreement announced Wednesday averts a federal takeover of the department. The newspaper says the agreement comes after the city had failed to meet a federal judge's order to make the reforms that had settled a police brutality scandal in 2003.

Critics have said Oakland police were slow in meeting the reforms, and this year federal monitors said the department had stalled on key tasks such as tracking problem officers, reporting the use of force and conducting internal affairs investigations. In reaching the agreement, a federal officer, who would be called a compliance director, would have the power to fire the police chief, overrule him on major decisions and demote his command staff. The agreement must be approved by a federal judge.

Stand Your Ground Laws are not the Problem. White Supremacy is.

/

In photo, George Zimmerman, a white man, treated like royalty by the police after killing a Black teenager. Stand your ground laws are not inherently racist. They are about as racist as the law enabling the Florida Voter purge. That is, any law applied by racist white people (judges, prosecutors, police, jurors, etc.) will lead to injustice for non-whites. In a system of white supremacy there is no justice. The bottom line is that in such a system, whites can more easily get away with killing non-whites.  

Cress Welsing says: Black males represent the greatest threat to white genetic survival. Black males must be attacked and destroyed in a power system designed to assure white genetic survival. In the white supremacy mind-set, consciously or subconsciously, Black males must be destroyed in significant numbers -just as they were in earlier days when there was widespread open lynching and castration o f Black males, or during the Tuskegee Syphilis Study from 1932 to 1972 when a large number of Black males were used and destroyed by whites.

The genocide of non-whites must be understood as a necessary tactic of a people (white) that is a minority of the world's population (less than 10% of the world is white) and that, because it lacks the genetic capacity to produce significant levels of melanin, is genetically recessive in terms of skin coloration, compared to the black, brown, red and yellow world majority. Thus, the global white minority must act genocidally against people of color for the purpose of white genetic survival. This is the "kill or be killed" mentality. [MORE] 

In photo, racist suspect, Michael David Dunn who shot an unarmed Black teen to death last week in Jacksonville and then fled. [MORE]  Self defense is intelligent. Stand your ground is simply a self-defense criminal defense that allows for the use of deadly force when it is reasonable to do so. In the last 7 years, 23 states have adopted “Stand Your Ground” legislation. [MORE]  In states which have variations of this law a person does not have a legal duty to retreat before using self defense to defend themselves under life threatening conditions that are reasonably apparent to the victim. On its face there is nothing racial about Fla. Stat. § 776.012 - Fla. Stat. § 776.013 (2012). Consider the Stand Your Ground law in Florida:

§ 776.012 (2012). Use of force in defense of person

A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if: (1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or (2) Under those circumstances permitted pursuant to s. 776.013.

In photo racist suspect John Spooner. He is accused of murdering Darius Simmons, an unarmed black 13 year old in front of his mother in an unprovoked shooting in the front of her home on May 31 in Milwaukee and then deceiving the police. The media ignores this story [MORE] 

§ 776.013. Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm

(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony. 

Consider the Stand Your Ground law in Washington, DC. The D.C. Jury Instruction states,

"The law does not require a person to retreat or consider retreating when s/he actually and reasonably believes that s/he is in danger of death or serious bodily harm and that deadly force is necessary to repel that danger. But the law does say that a person should take reasonable steps, such as stepping back or walking away, to avoid the necessity of taking a human life, so long as those steps are consistent with the person's own safety. In deciding whether [name of defendant] acted reasonably, you should therefore consider whether s/he could have taken those steps, consistent with his/her own safety."

The comment states, this instruction represents the "middle ground" between "the right to stand and kill, and the duty to retreat to the wall before killing," Gillis v. U.S., 400 A.2d 311, 313 (D.C. 1979), and may be given "when there is a truly relevant question as to whether a defendant could have safely retreated." Broadie v. U.S., 925 A.2d 605, 621 (D.C. 2007).

Moon to become next hot vacation destination for White Folks?

/

"Whitey on the Moon." Tourists may follow in astronaut Eugene Cernan's footsteps on the moon from 1972. From [HERE] I feel sorry for all those suckers who blew $20 million and only got a lousy trip to the International Space Station. If they had held out, they might have had an opportunity to invest many more millions on a trip to the moon.

Golden Spike Company announced yesterday a venture to launch commercial voyages to the moon by 2020. Of course, this sort of experience doesn't come cheap. Golden Spike is expecting a trip to cost $1.5 billion per flight. At that price, most private clients would be left out in the cold. As awesome as moon tourism sounds, Golden Spike is mainly focused on offering its services to governments that would like a lunar lift, much like Russia helped other countries get to the space station. Still, I'm guessing Golden Spike would think twice about turning down a multi-billionaire with the dough and desire to buy a ride.

For those of us who don't bathe in tubs full of hundred dollar bills, Golden Spike has announced its intention to make moon visits frequent and affordable. The definition of affordable is up for debate.

UN votes to upgrade Palestinian status

/

From [HERE] The United Nations General Assembly has voted in favour of upgrading the Palestinians status to that of a non-member observer state.

The vote was taken at a meeting of the body in New York, with 138 countries voting in favour of the upgrade. Nine countries voted against it, and 41 others abstained.

Thousands of Palestinians gathered across the West Bank and Gaza to demonstrate their support for the fresh attempt by President Mahmoud Abbas to secure the status.

Palestinians were previously listed as a UN observer "entity" with no voting rights.

The new status is an indirect recognition of the Palestinians' claims on statehood in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. It allows them to join a number of UN agencies, as well as the International Criminal Court (ICC).

CIA Sued Over Alleged 1953 Murder of Military Scientist after he Raised Concerns about Involuntary Testing on Humans

/

From [HERE] Employees of the Central Intelligence Agency murdered military scientist Frank Olson in 1953 after he raised concerns about testing chemical and biological weapons on human subjects without their consent, according to a lawsuit brought by his two sons.

Eric and Nils Olson, in a complaint filed against the U.S. today in Washington, said the agency has covered up the cause of their father’s death for 59 years. Frank Olson, who the CIA admitted was given LSD a few days before his death, didn’t jump from a 13th floor window of the Statler Hotel in New York City, but rather was pushed, they claim.

“The circumstances surrounding the death mirrored those detailed in an assassination manual that, upon information and belief, the CIA had drafted that same year,” Scott Gilbert, a lawyer for the Olsons, wrote in the complaint.

Olson’s family has tried to piece together how Frank Olson died and the circumstances surrounding his death ever since a 1975 government report on CIA activities in the U.S. said that he committed suicide after being given LSD without his knowledge. The family’s lawsuit includes one claim of negligent supervision by the agency and requests that damages be decided at trial.

Blackface Craze Catching on with Crazy White Folks

/

Anon - The characters in minstrel shows (usually white males in black face) portrayed Blacks as cheerful, simple-minded darkies who loved to sing and dance for the "White folks." Songs about slaves yearning to return to their masters were common in minstrel shows. The message to the white audience was clear: Don't feel bad for these n***ers; they are happy with their lot in life." [MORE] White Man Ruins Halloween Party at Black Owned Pizza Place From [HERE] A second blackface incident has surfaced in Duluth, MN a week after a video went viral showing two women in facial masks making disparaging remarks about African Americans (below). Adam Stoningpot of Duluth says he was trying to open a discussion on race by “taking a risk” and dressing as a minstrel in blackface at the Pizza Luce employee costume party this Halloween.

“I was just wearing a costume,” he said on Wednesday, explaining that he was trying to open conversation about race that night — something “people don’t talk about.” He also said he wasn’t costumed as a black person. “I was dressed as a white person playing a character,” he said.

JJ Haywood, CEO of Pizza Luce, who is African American, said “let me assure you that this incident was taken seriously by management at both Pizza Luce Duluth and by me as the top leader and one of the owners of Pizza Luce.” 

White Girls in Blackface say "We are True Negroes from the Black Hood." In a five minute video that went viral last week, two racist suspects, Rachel Cooper and Jessica Heid, who are University of Minnesota Duluth students discuss a variety of stereotypes offering their white supremacist views on gangs and gun violence, slavery, fried chicken, collard greens, apes... the list goes on. They also express their fear that Black people will dominate whites if ever given the opportunity. More [HERE] on white supremacy/racism. 

Israeli Officer Goes Minstrel in "Obama Style" Brown-face From [HERE] and [HERE] On Monday, a young Israeli officer who leads the campaign to cast his nation’s military in a positive light on social networks restricted access to his own Facebook account on Sunday, after a Lebanese blogger discovered that the soldier had uploaded an image of himself with mud or dark paint on his face captioned, “Obama style.”

The officer, Lt. Sacha Dratwa, a 26-year-old who emigrated to Israel from Belgium eight years ago, was identified last week by Tablet and Gawker as the man marshaling Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr and Pinterest to support and celebrate the actions of the Israel Defense Forces.

After Lieutenant Dratwa blocked access to the photograph on Sunday, he defended himself on Twitter, writing, “I’m not racist.” 


Hate Speech for you: Not so Patriotic, Racist Suspect Glenn Beck Puts Obama toy in Jar of his urine - Sells it

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] Racist Suspect, Glenn Beck, angry about having a Black President places an Obama toy doll in a mason jar of his own urine. The Obama doll is wearing an American flag across its chest. Naturally, he defends action by saying "freedom of speech" (white supremacists/racists love the theoretical speech protections of the 1st Amendment - as opposed to more practical Constitutional protections such as the 14th Amendment right to liberty or life for the living or 4th Amendment rights supposedly securing freedom from unlawful detentions and searches). But like Porn, all speech is not protected speech -  unless white people say so - like commercial speech which is super, super important. More fallout from the failure of "Don't Re-Nig 2012" to come. Expect racism from every single white person you encounter, expect racism every day, if they are not racist be pleasantly surprised.    

As stated by hunglikejesus, "Welcome to post racial Merika", where democracy will not exist until the system of white supremacy/racism is replaced with justice.  

Federal judge orders Philip Morris to admit to deceiving public

/
From [HERE] A judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday ordered [opinion, PDF] cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris, Inc. [corporate website] to issue public corrective statements after decades of concealing the health risks and addictive qualities of cigarette smoking. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] filed suit against the company in 1999 alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act . The court held in 2004 that Philip Morris had "knowingly and intentionally" conspired to defraud smokers and potential smokers "for purposes of financial gain ... [by] repeatedly, consistently, vigorously" and falsely denying adverse health effects and addictive qualities in public despite the company's own "massive" collection of scientific research confirming otherwise. After the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] affirmed in 2009, Judge Gladys Kessler on Tuesday required that the company must issue approved corrective statements to be published in newspapers and disseminated through television advertisements, retail displays and corporate websites. The order includes statements such as: "Here is the truth: Smoking kills, on average, 1200 Americans. Every day" and "[m]ore people die every year from smoking than from murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol, combined." Kessler also recommended that the parties meet with a Special Master to reach an agreement regarding this issue by March 1, 2013.

House GOP (White Party) Committee Chairs Will All Be White Men in Next Congress

/

Q: Why is it called “Racism/White Supremacy?”

A: Because this describes exactly WHO is practicing racism. For one group to practice racism that group must have MORE POWER than another group. Since whites control ALL the major areas of human activity in America — housing, education, health, entertainment, economics, politics, law, and religion — it is accurate to define all “racism” as “white supremacy.” We must be accurate so the victims of racism do not become confused. 

Q: Isn’t all racism the same, regardless of who is practicing it?

A: There is only ONE kind of racism: white supremacy. White people are the only group in America with the POWER to discriminate (deprive or punish other ethnic groups), and the systems and institutions to maintain the imbalance of power. [MORE] 

From [HERE] House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced who will chair all of the major House committees in the next Congress. And it turns out they all have something in common besides party affiliation: they're all white men.

There isn't a single woman or minority included in the mix of 19 House committee chairs announced Tuesday -- a stark reality for a party desperate to appeal to women and minorities after both groups overwhelmingly rejected Republicans just weeks ago in the presidential election. The one female committee chair that House Republicans currently have, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), is stepping down because her term is up. While there are still two lower-tier House committees awaiting a chair assignment -- the Ethics Committee and House Administration -- neither committee has any women or minority members.

Not About Music: White Man Charged with Murdering Unarmed Black Teen (17) in Florida - Shot 9 Times at Close Range while sitting in Backseat

/

Black Teen was Killed Because he was Black From [HERE] and [HERE] Less than nine months after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in central Florida and six months after John Spooner killed Darius Simmons (13) [MORE], another black teenager was killed by a White man under suspicious circumstances.

Michael David Dunn, a 45-year-old vice president of Dunn & Dunn Data Systems in Vero Beach, was in Jacksonville this past weekend for his son’s wedding. The Orlando Sentinel details what happened on Friday when Dunn encountered Jordan Russell Davis, a student at Samuel W. Wolfson High:

Jordan Russell Davis, 17, and several other teenagers were sitting in a sport utility vehicle in the parking lot when Dunn pulled up next to them in a car and asked them to turn down their music, [Jacksonville sheriff's Lt. Rob] Schoonover said. Jordan and Dunn exchanged words, and Dunn pulled a gun and shot eight or nine times, striking Jordan twice, Schoonover said. Jordan was sitting in the back seat. No one else was hurt. Dunn’s attorney Monday said her client acted responsibly and in self-defense. She did not provide any factual basis for asserting a claim of self-defense or why he did not just drive away.

Schoonover also said that “there were words exchanged” between the two, and Dunn claims to have felt “threatened” before opening fire.

Fled the Scene 

Dunn's girlfriend, who was in the store buying wine at the time, returned to the car having heard a "popping" sound, and the two bolted from the scene. The unnamed woman told investigators Dunn admitted he "fired at these kids," but claims they were not aware someone had died until hearing it on the news. [MORE]. Apparently, he did not call the police to report the incident. 

According to his father Ron Davis, the teenager died in the arms of his friend in the car. Ron said his son was unarmed. Dunn was arrested at his home on Saturday and charged with murder and attempted murder. He is being held without bail.

Fmr. Florida White Party (GOP) leaders say Voter Suppression of Blacks & Latinos was Main Reason they pushed new election law

/

In photo, racist suspects: former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer, right, appearing with Gov. Charlie Crist at a fundraising dinner in 2008. From [HERE] A new Florida law that contributed to long voter lines and caused some to abandon voting altogether was intentionally designed by Florida GOP staff and consultants to inhibit Democratic voters, former GOP officials and current GOP consultants have told The Palm Beach Post.

Republican leaders said in proposing the law that it was meant to save money and fight voter fraud. But a former GOP chairman and former Gov. Charlie Crist, both of whom have been ousted from the party, now say that fraud concerns were advanced only as subterfuge for the law’s main purpose: GOP victory.

Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer says he attended various meetings, beginning in 2009, at which party staffers and consultants pushed for reductions in early voting days and hours.

“The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told The Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only. … ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’ ” Greer said he was told by those staffers and consultants.

“They never came in to see me and tell me we had a (voter) fraud issue,” Greer said. “It’s all a marketing ploy.”

'Please Contact Office if you see Black Teens or Other Suspicious People' - HUD to Investigate Notice Posted in Houston Apt. Complex

/

HERE] As federal officials gear up to investigate a notice posted at a southwest Houston apartment complex asking residents to report black youths and "any other suspicious people" there, a community activist said he supports the apartment manager's contention that the complex was not behind the incendiary notice. "When I first read about this story, I was outraged by it and angry as hell," said community activist Quanell X.

The notice, which was posted on a bulletin board in a laundry room at the Rock Springs Apartments, 9000 Town Park, read: "We ask you to please contact the office immediately every time you see teenagers or adolescents of African-American race or any other suspicious people in the property." The notice, which was printed in English and Spanish, has since been removed.

Al Green seeks action

U.S. Rep. Al Green, whose district includes the complex, wrote to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice on Nov. 21, requesting the agencies "take appropriate action." A HUD official Monday said the agency investigates all cases requested by congressional members.

Getting in the Genocidal Spirit: Israeli Military Officer Posed ‘Obama Style,’ in Blackface

/

From [HERE] and [HERE] A young Israeli officer who leads the campaign to cast his nation’s military in a positive light on social networks restricted access to his own Facebook account on Sunday, after a Lebanese blogger discovered that the soldier had uploaded an image of himself with mud or dark paint on his face captioned, “Obama style.”

After Lieutenant Dratwa blocked access to the photograph on Sunday, he defended himself on Twitter, writing, “I’m not racist.” In a statement posted on Facebook he insisted that he had “nothing to hide,” but was merely trying to stop what he called the “cynical use” of “private photos from my Facebook profile in order to publicly misrepresent my opinions.” The photographs of himself posted on the social network, he added, “do not reflect my beliefs and have no bearing whatsoever on my position in the IDF.”

Telling Lies to Your Vision: The Media Selling White Supremacy/Racism on TV

/

TV is reversing the evolution of the human brain. According to Dr. Blynd, Media is a mind shampoo and conditioning process of the Greater System --" the media is the mirage."  2) the psychotherapist for the Greater System -- a conditioning process and a subdivision of Commerce. 3) the guardian of the Commodity and Spectacle. 4) the misinformation cul de sac. 5) reconditioned reality. (See "Greater System", Spectacle Society & Camera). [MORE].

White supremacy is built into the white controlled & owned media. According to Neely Fuller, "there is no known code of White Supremacy that can be formally recognized as such in a single set of words or pictures. The basic code of white supremacy is the total pattern of everyday thought, speech and action of the individual white persons who practice it." All things that help to promote it are apart of the white code.

The media looks at Black America through the prism of racism and White cultural supremacy/dominance. The results are predictable: misrepresentations and distortions of the complexities of the Black experience; perpetuation of stereotypes; diversions from the crises in the Black community; and outright attempts to contain Black aspirations and control the direction and destiny of Black people.

Non-white people are also customers of white supremacy. As a tool of white supremacists, the media degrades, dehumanizes and programs non-whites to believe they are inferior to whites - Anon calls this process "niggerization."

"During the existence of White Supremacy (Racism), most forms of "entertainment" are directly or indirectly designed to be supportive to The System of White Supremacy (Racism), and therefore, is likely to have an effect on the thoughts, speech, and actions of Non-White people that is non-constructive" - Neely Fuller. 

During the campaign season, The White Party's (GOP) campaign, aka, "Don't Re-Nig in 2012", basically became a running commercial for white supremacy/racism; Mittens sold racism to his beggar customers (Republican voters) on a daily basis. How else is racism packaged up & sold to us? Here are some other subtle examples of "pro-niggerized" programming:  

The Whiner. A Black person cannot be the victim in a white supremacy society. The Black individual is always at fault regardless of who initiated the conflict. Samsung commercial: Two White Ladies tell Black Man  - "You Like to Whine."

The Boy. Non-white people function as children in their relationships with white people (their masters). NFL Black quarterback, Cam Newton, says "yes sir" to 8 yr. old white boy in new NFL Play 60 commercial. 

The Fat, Sassy and happy mammy minstrel. A grinning negro is a safe negro. Popeyes Heart Attack Food - Annie the Chicken Queen cooning for us. 

The White Murderer. White life and the preservation of it is to be valued over Non-White life. Racist murderer, Columbus, who is an icon of White Supremacy is featured in a recent Geico commercial.  

Dear Angry White Conservatives Mourning Mittens Meltdown: Chill Out (Non-Whites = the Powerless Class)

/

I have a second secret for you. White folks possess one of the most valuable gifts in the history of the United States.

You are considered “white.”

 “Whiteness” is an amazing invention [17] that has only been around a few centuries. In the United States, it has been something to die for, protect, and kill for. Historically, whiteness is a type of very lucrative property that is handed down through families, and has been protected by the law.

As the comedian Louis CK smartly observed [18], being white in America is one hell of a great deal. If offered the choice, he would sign up every year because of all the unearned privileges and advantages that come with it. Whiteness is such a great deal because white folks do not have to actively do anything to benefit from it. However, white people are amazingly protective of this prize—and really careful about whom they let in the club.

For example, the Irish, Italians, Jews, Poles, and other “white ethnics” were once viewed as a type of European “other” at the turn of the 20th century. If history is a guide, racial groups that are now considered non-white will become the new “white” people in the years to come. Whiteness always finds a way to keep on winning and to grow its numbers.

St. Louis Hospitals sued over death of Black Woman - Ignored & Denied Medical Treatment, then Arrested by Cops

/

From [HERE] The family of Anna Brown filed a wrongful-death lawsuit Tuesday alleging that St. Mary’s Health Center in Richmond Heights failed to diagnose a life-threatening condition before it provided police with medical clearance to take her to jail for refusing to leave its emergency room. Brown, 29, died on the floor of a jail cell shortly later.

The suit also names as defendants St. Louis University Hospital, which examined and released her previously, and several physicians. Brown died Sept. 21, 2011, after blood clots that had formed in her legs moved to her lungs. About an hour before, St. Mary’s doctors deemed her fit for confinement and hospital staff asked police to remove her. Brown, who was homeless, had been refusing to leave and demanding more treatment, saying the pain in her legs was so severe she could not walk.

Brown’s mother, Dorothy Davis, filed the suit in St. Louis Circuit Court on behalf of Brown’s two children. Davis became the guardian of her grandchildren, ages 3 and 12, after Brown became homeless. The lawsuit seeks “fair and reasonable” compensation plus damages for “aggravated circumstances” and costs.

The suit alleges that St. Louis University Hospital physicians acted negligently in failing to diagnose deep vein thrombosis, or blood clots in her legs, and that physicians at St. Mary’s caused Brown “humiliation, mental anguish, restraint of her freedom and hastened her into an agonizing and frightening death.”

Yorba Linda (CA) mayor regrets Racial attacks by Whites on Black family who Fled Upscale Community

/

From [HERE] The mayor of Yorba Linda on Wednesday decried the treatment of an African American family that fled the upscale community after rocks were tossed through their windows, their car tires were slashed, and their children were taunted because they were black.

“The City of Yorba Linda deeply regrets that such an unfortunate incident would ever occur within our community and we do not condone any such acts,” said Yorba Linda Mayor Mark Schwing in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. The mayor said the incident is “by no means indicative of the feelings or actions of our residents and community leaders.”

The family of four -- a pair of law enforcement officers and their two sons -- left the city of about 65,000  several weeks ago, saying they were fed up with the racially tinged incidents.

Sgt. Jim Griffin with the Brea Police Department, which patrols nearby Yorba Linda, said the family filed two reports that officers classified as vandalism  -- not hate crimes -- in May 2011 and October 2012.
