“Judge not…”

Matthew 7:1 is one of the most quoted scriptures in the Bible these days. Even people who do not subscribe to the teachings of the Bible will quickly whip out that passage of scripture and use it as a speed pass to cancel out any criticisms regarding their moral failings. The very Bible that most people today try to dismiss as "out of date", not relative for today, or not to be taken literally is the same Bible these individuals use to deflect criticism of their behavior. Now let's read versus 1 and 2. "Do not judge, or you too will be ...

Finding and losing history

History found Records of freed Va. slaves placed online History possibly lost (suburbanchicagonews.com) "A property once covered in unique objets d'art and so renowned even the Smithsonian Institution took notice now is slated for demolition. Kane County officials this week took further steps toward tearing down the long-abandoned African-American Heritage Museum and Black Veterans Archives in Aurora Township by approving an application to the Circuit Court for demolition of 'dangerous and/or unsafe building.' 'This is the very beginning stage' of the demolition process, said Mark VanKerkhoff of the county's Development Department. It could be three to four months before the building actually is torn down, ...

Here we go again with another social experiment

TV One to begin Sunday show aimed at blacks NEW YORK (AP) — Roland Martin will anchor a new Sunday public affairs show aimed at a black audience that will debut in September on the TV One network.

LA the hard way

When Antonio Villaraigosa ran for Mayor of Los Angeles a few years ago, most of his platform was based on the fact that he would be the first Hispanic Mayor in 133 years. Question his record beyond the historical narrative and suddenly you found yourself framed as one of "those people" who dislike all Hispanics. Well guess what I saw in the store the other day? That's right! The one time golden child for the Left who was gonna fix Los Angeles just by showing up is now being called a "failure" by a major publication. Just back in 2006, the ...

Why the rush to make Michael Jackson a “Christian”

On the days following the death of Michael Jackson, I read from two sources so-called accounts from Christians that Michael Jackson was in fact a Christian. Now I found the claim quite interesting because I know that MJ had also claimed to be a Muslim, Jehovah Witness and I believe that he also embraced Judaism to some extent. But how was it that all of a sudden folks were claiming that MJ was actually a Christian. Here was the first claim I came across. David Pack for purposedriven.com (The article was removed or moved to another link. But here is the ...

According to this site, the couple pictured may have started the Sambo rumor (here is the cached version).

I am laughing and shaking my head if this story is true. Why?

I’m laughing because I know that the main negroes that ran with this story will spare this woman any and all criticism for hooking up with a White man. As long as the cause is deemed “just”, she will be spared from such ridiculous criticism. Just imagine if she was a Republican. Why, that would make her a double sellout.

I’m shaking my head because I was just taken aback over how folks treated this rumor as it was the gospel truth. I can’t begin to tell you the amount of blogs (reputable blogs I might add)I visited over the weekend who willingly ran with the story simply because Sarah Palin was White and…well…it just had to be true. Some even tried to cover themselves by mentioning the story was a rumor–just in case the rumor was false. But they continued to romanticize the idea as if it were true.

On another note, I am also beginning to be a little suspicious of the site “Black Men For McCain”.

In the meantime, I’m not holding my breath to hear folks cry about how these folks used a “painful part of our history” to discredit a VP candidate.

I will update this post as more information comes to my attention.

***UPDATE***

The “Sambo” piece was posted on Dick and Sharron’s LA Progressive blog but was originally written by this man.

I saw somewhere on the internet that Palin eats babies and is a satanist. Must be true it was on the net, right?

That might have been puppies and Witchcraft; we’ll have to check the sources.

My question is why do false rumors of racism by Republicans need to be spread when there are so many obvious and blatant examples already available?

You’re right, there are already enough obvious and blatant examples of false rumors of Republican racism.
