White Woman suffering from narcissistic personality disorder demands free meal from 'little sand nigger' @ Dunkin Donuts

From [HERE] How to reward two Dunkin' Donuts employees who calmly endured a racist rant from a belligerent and foul-mouthed customer? (end white supremacy? Black criminal defense lawyers may have had similar experiences in court dealing with racist suspect judges.) The doughnut chain says it will honor the workers at a company event in Florida, but would say no more. Online supporters are less reticent; they argue the two should receive a monetary reward and are raising money for the two. [MORE]

The third Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (1980), published by the American Psychiatric Association, contains a description of the narcissistic personality disorder, with the following stated criteria:

A. Grandiose sense of self importance or uniqueness

B. Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

C.  Exhibitionistic: Requires constant attention and admiration

D.  Responds to criticism, indifference of others, or defeat with either cool indifference or with marked feelings of rage, inferiority, shame, humiliation, or emptiness

E. Two of the following:

1.  Lack of empathy: Inability to recognize how others feel

2.  Entitlement: Expectation of special favors with reactions or surprise and anger when others don't comply

3. Interpersonal exploitiveness: Takes advantage of others to indulge his own desires or for self-aggrandizement, with disregard for the personal integrity and rights of others

4. Relationships characteristically vacillate between the extremes of over-idealization and devaluation.

According to Dr. Welsing [HERE] "any non-white person who has had extensive experience with whites, collectively or as individuals, will find in the above a description of those relationships. At a superficial level, it seems ironic that those responsible for including this disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual have failed to recognize this as a statement that characterizes the global relationship of whites to non-whites, a description of the dynamic (racism)."

Polls shows White People like Bush again

From [HERE] The favorability rating of George W. Bush has skyrocketed, with 49 percent of (white) Americans expressing positive feelings toward the former US president and only 46 percent expressing dislike.

A Gallup poll (of white folks) found that for the first time since April 2005, Bush’s favorability rating is higher than his unfavorability rating. And Americans across all party lines have a more positive opinion of the former president.

Gallup notes that an increase in approval ratings is common after presidents leave the White House, but the numbers may still come as a surprise. Since March 2009, Bush’s favorability rating increased by 14 percentage points among Democrats, 17 percent among Independents and 12 percent among Republicans.

The numbers starkly contrast to the ratings he had shortly after leaving the White House. In January 2009, only 40 percent of poll respondents viewed him favorably. And at his lowest point in April 2008, only 32 percent of Americans expressed a positive opinion of him. [MORE]

Racial Justice Act repeal headed to Racist Suspect NC Governor

RACISM (white supremacy), is the local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth – a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people.” [MORE]

From [HERE] The state Senate has given final legislative approval to a bill aimed at restarting executions in North Carolina that includes language repealing the last parts of the Racial Justice Act. Passed in 2009, the Racial Justice Act allowed death row inmates to challenge their sentences based on statistical evidence of racism in their sentencings.

Calling the original measure "poorly written," Sen. Tom Goolsby, R-New Hanover, who is white, pointed out that nearly every death row inmate, white and black, has filed an RJA appeal, even if they were convicted of killing someone of their own race.

But those who helped pass the bill said that frivolous appeals could be dismissed. "Racism in our criminal justice system is a fact," said Sen. Earline Parmon, D-Forsyth, saying that the appeals merely ensure the criminal justice system didn't make a mistake it couldn't reverse. "If you ever hear of a case where we made a mistake, the blood is on your hands."

The War on Marijuana = War on Blacks: Billions Wasted on a Racist, Futile War

DailyChronic

A new report by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sheds some light on many of the underlying dirty truths of cannabis prohibition: money is wasted and law enforcement resources are diverted from battling serious crime on a war that disproportionately harms African Americans.  While most of the data isn’t earth-shattering for experienced marijuana law reform activists, the ACLU’s study demonstrates how far we still have to go, despite so much success in recent years.  It is fantastic that we now have 20 medical marijuana states (if you include our nation’s capitol as a state), 15 states that have decriminalized cannabis and two states that have legalized marijuana possession altogether.  However, facts don’t lie and the ACLU’s report, “The War on Marijuana in Black and White“, illustrates many disturbing facts that are still plaguing our nation.

I have seen the discrepancies between how African Americans are treated when marijuana is found in a couple of instances.  Twice, I have seen Black friends treated more harshly after law enforcement officers found marijuana.  Once, at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I saw a Black friend arrested, handcuffed and marched out of our dorm for smoking a blunt.  In contrast, a few of my middle-class white friends were merely written a citation and didn’t suffer the indignity of handcuffs even though they had more marijuana, possessed marijuana and were drinking underage.  The white friends were also charged in city court while my Black friend was charged in county court, a distinction that can cause someone to lose financial aid and employment opportunities.  The marijuana laws on the books themselves aren’t racist, but I have seen the enforcement of those laws carried out in a racist way and the facts demonstrate that my anecdotal testimonies are far too common.

The ACLU’s report is a must-read filled with alarming statistics. Between 2001 and 2010, there were over 8 million arrests for marijuana in the United States, meaning that there is a marijuana arrest every 37 seconds in this country.  There’s an old punch line in the cannabis community that follows such a statistic, “You wonder why we’re so paranoid!” The War on Marijuana costs American tax payers around $3.6 billion yearly, with no proof that the money actually does any good preventing anyone from smoking marijuana.  People in prison can get marijuana, another illustration of the futility of cannabis prohibition.  And now the racist portion of the war: while Blacks and whites use marijuana at about the same rate, Blacks are more than 3 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession.

Even my home state of Oregon, known for its relatively liberal marijuana laws, saw the rate of marijuana arrests and citations jump 45% from 2001 to 2010, the 5th largest increase in the country (my birth state of Missouri is right behind at 6th).  Despite under an ounce being decriminalized and a state medical marijuana program, there were still over 12,000 arrests and citations in oregon, with over 90% of incidents for less than an ounce.  While Oregon is better than most states, wouldn’t Oregonians prefer law enforcement officers preventing brutal, violent attacks, instead of wasting time hassling marijuana smokers?

Of course, other states have it much, much worse with more draconian laws and embarrassingly disproportionate arrest rates.  Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Alaska all saw the racial disparity of marijuana arrests between Blacks and whites increase more than 100% from 2001 to 2010.  Not surprisingly, the Deep South has alarming racial statistics as 69% of all 2010 marijuana arrests in Mississippi were of African Americans.  Georgia and Louisiana are almost as bad as Mississippi with 64% of arrests in Georgia were of Blacks while down in the Bayou, African Americans made up 61% of all marijuana arrests.  The racial discrepancies aren’t just in the South, however, as Blacks accounted for 58% of marijuana arrests in Illinois (while representing just 15% of the overall population), while, in our nation’s capitol, shockingly, over 90% of marijuana arrests are of African Americans.

Seeing my African American friends treated differently under the same marijuana laws is what sparked my activism.  I didn’t plan on being an activist, my plan was to do well in school, get my law degree, pass the bar and make a good living in an ordinary law office.  Witnessing discrimination first-hand changed those plans and I dedicated my life to ending the War on Marijuana.  I learned as much as I could and certainly drove plenty of professors crazy as I looked for every opportunity to write about the need to reform our marijuana laws.  I co-authored successful local marijuana law reform initiatives while in law school because I knew the educational and employment opportunities of nonviolent citizens shouldn’t be derailed for using marijuana, something that Al Gore, Newt Gingrich, George Bush and Bill Clinton all did (and now we can add the current president, Barack Obama to the list).  I continue working to fight against this war because I have seen too many good people hurt and the statistics don’t lie: the War on Marijuana costs too much money and it is a war that disproportionately harms minorities and the poor.

Hopefully, this report by the ACLU will help convince more people to fight this civil rights battle of our time.  It seems that we are making progress every day and yet ever day is still filled with heartbreaking stories of violent raids, lives ruined and even innocent people dying.  Ending this war won’t be easy, as those in power don’t give it up easily, but end it we must.  And we will.

Cheerios Ad Starring "Interracial" Family Frightens White People

From [HERE] Last week Cheerios released a commercial featuring an interracial couple and their daughter. Apparently, White people hate it.  The ad, posted to YouTube on Tuesday, received such a negative response that Cheerios had to close the comments section on the video sharing site. The ad also made it to Reddit where the discussion thread is still thriving with bigoted comments. [MORE]

The commercial features a Black man and his white wife. Their brown child, also featured, is the product of their union. Why is this so scary for white folks? It is a not so subtle reminder that white people suffer from color deficiency and numerical inadequacy. Cheerios should know that White people are vastly outnumbered on this planet and are fearful of genetic annihilation. These concerns are the driving forces of racism/white supremacy. 

The white supremacy system is a behavioral power system structured for white genetic survival. [MORE]. 90% or more of the world is non-white and the white population is shrinking. White genes are genetic recessive. White genes or the "white race" cannot be reproduced when mixed with non-white persons. White plus Black equals Colored. White plus Brown equals Colored. White plus Yellow equals Colored.

White people's behavior in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war) is motivated by their fear of genetic annihilation. White supremacy domination and oppression of all non-white people is essential for white global genetic survival. 

According to Frances Cress Welsing: "this global white collective maintains a different appearance from the rest of humankind, and they dislike this difference. Therefore, they tan and use makeup. They remain a minority of the world's people, surrounded globally by a black, brown, red and yellow global majority. The white global collective remains genetically recessive to the black, brown, red and yellow global majority and lives each day and each minute of every hour in the continuous fear of white annihilation by the global majority of genetic dominants.

FBI used Photoshop in Boston bombings evidence: Investigative journalist

CitizensforLegitGov

An investigative reporter has revealed that the image released by the FBI as evidence on one of the suspects of the Boston Marathon bombings was doctored with a computer software such as Photoshop. The FBI image was put forth as evidence that 19-year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who the police took into custody on April 19 after a day of intense searching that shut down major parts of Boston, arrived at the scene of the bombing with a backpack but left without it. Comparing pictures he took of the scene with the photo released by the FBI, reporter Ralph Lopez of The Digital Journal suggests the FBI photo shows clear evidence of being made with Photoshop.

How Prosecutor Win Rates And Informants Drive Wrongful Murder Convictions

ThinkProgress

In the American criminal system, one primary purpose of constitutional protections is to achieve justice by convicting the right person for the right crime. But prosecutors whose bonuses, promotions, and sometimes election are tied to conviction rates and prominent “wins” have perverse incentives to instead score any conviction at all. Recent reporting by investigative outlet ProPublica adds to the evidence that this sort of prosecutor misconduct too often goes unpunished, meaning there is little risk in manipulating the evidence and great reward.

In more than two dozen instances in which judges overturned convictions in New York citing explicit attorney misconduct, disciplinary action was almost never taken against these prosecutors, and only one prosecutor was disbarred, suspended, or censured. ProPublica’s Joaquin Sapien traces the trail of errors that plagued one such case by Assistant District Attorney Michael Vecchione, whose murder conviction who was overturned after Jabbar Collins spent 15 years in prison. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s office maintains Vecchione engaged in no misconduct, but the reporting, a civil lawsuit, and a criminal exoneration tell a different story. Vecchione, who refused to be interviewed for the article, submitted a sworn affidavit attesting that a former store clerk who worked nearby the scene of the murder had fled to Puerto Rico because he had been threatened by people involved in the case. Vecchione had never met or spoken to that former store clerk, Adrian Diaz, and Diaz later said he had never been threatened. Even more damning, Vecchione reportedly coerced the testimony of a witness who admitted he was drug-dependent and lying when he identified the perpetrator:

Edwin Oliva, a 29-year-old petty thief and drug addict, says he was a wreck as he sat in a chair in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office in winter 1995. A year earlier, he’d told police a lie that helped implicate a possibly innocent man in a murder. Now, prosecutors wanted him to repeat his story in court; he wanted to take it back. [...]

But the prosecutors, Oliva says, weren’t having it. Collins, the man Oliva had fingered, had already been arraigned based in part on Oliva’s word. Collins, then 21, was sitting in a Rikers Island jail cell awaiting trial, and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office was intent that he stay behind bars for a very long time. Oliva was going to be a critical witness, whether he liked it or not.

When Oliva refused to testify, the prosecutors, led by senior Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Michael Vecchione, threatened to charge him with conspiracy to commit murder, Oliva says. Prosecutors then held Oliva for several days at Lincoln Correctional Facility, a minimum-security prison in Harlem. But Oliva held firm.

“I refused to testify to a lie,” he said in a sworn statement submitted years later in federal court.

Vecchione’s team, Oliva says, finally found a way to leverage him: Oliva was out of prison on a work release program, so prosecutors got the privilege revoked, and on March 1, 1995, Oliva was transferred to Ulster Correctional Facility, a maximum security state prison two hours north of New York City.

Oliva was brought back to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office for a meeting with Vecchione’s partner, Assistant District Attorney Charles Posner. According to Oliva, Posner told him that he could have his work release privileges restored if he’d testify against Collins.

“I felt trapped and desperate,” Oliva said. “And so I agreed.”

It is all too common for informants who testify against others to already be either suspects or defendants in other criminal cases, resulting in a cycle in which those who implicate or testify against others get shorter sentences, and those who do not suffer some of the most draconian punishments for sometimes minor, nonviolent crimes.

These cases are not limited to New York. In Alabama, a prosecutor who violated the law by withholding evidence that could have been crucial to the defense almost cost a man his life. And the same incentives that move some unscrupulous prosecutors to coerce testimony also encourage prosecutors to withhold exculpatory evidence they are required to disclose, and to deny DNA testing, that would provide conclusive, scientific evidence.
