Do you think the federal government is doing enough to address violence against people of color?

"Absolutely not. I just don’t feel like it’s enough. If the tables were turned and it was their family member, if it was their friends, and if it was happening to their community, then they would be doing a lot more. I think because it's African-Americans it doesn't seem as important."

"We all feel that the government should be more of the voice for the people. I mean, I am an American citizen and I have certain rights, but I feel like those rights are being ignored by the government. When one of these tragedies happens and the victim is unarmed, it seems like there should automatically be an investigation by a third party. It should not be somebody from that same department investigating their own."

Jeb Bush Supporters Taunt Black Protesters: ‘White Lives Matter’

On Wednesday night, Black Lives Matter protesters made good on their promise to keep the heat on presidential candidates, turning their sights on Jeb Bush (R).

At a rally in North Las Vegas, Nevada, protesters called on Bush to speak out about racial injustice. At the end of the event, the protesters chanted “black lives matter,” which was quickly met with “white lives matter” and “all lives matter” chants.

Black Lives Matter advocates asked the presidential hopeful how he personally connects to matters of race in justice, after he said, “we have serious problems and these problems have gotten worse in the last few years. Communities, people no longer trust the basic institutions in our society that they need to trust to create, to make things work.”

After the activists asked him to elaborate, he responded, “I relate to it by running for president to try and create a climate where there is civility and understanding and to encourage mayors, leaders at the local level to engage so that there is not despair and isolation in communities.”

Prior to the town hall, several BLM activists had a private discussion with the presidential hopeful. And later in the evening, the Bush campaign released an official statement about demonstration.

“Governor Bush met with Black Lives Matter advocates tonight ahead of his event in Las Vegas on issues including criminal justice reform. As Governor Bush laid out in his speech to the Urban League, he is committed to campaigning across the nation as he seeks the presidency, talking to everyone and every community about his vision for restoring opportunity for all Americans,” it reads. “Governor Bush’s goal is to unite Americans, not divide them, and that begins with having open, candid conversations with all voters. Gov Bush listened to the group and they discussed barriers to upward mobility in this country, and ways to overcome them as a community by starting to get a few things right in government.”

"The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”

Today, on PBS

Independent Lens
American Denial

"American Denial" uses the story of Gunnar Myrdal's 1944 investigation of Jim Crow racism as a springboard to explore the power of unconscious biases and how the ideals of liberty, equality and justice still affect notions of race and class today.
By Llewellyn Smith


The story of Swedish researcher Gunnar Myrdal whose landmark 1944 study, An American Dilemma, probed deep into the United States' racial psyche. The film weaves a narrative that exposes some of the potential underlying causes of racial biases still rooted in America’s systems and institutions today.

An intellectual social visionary who later won a Nobel Prize in economics, Myrdal first visited the Jim Crow South at the invitation of the Carnegie Corporation in 1938, where he was “shocked to the core by all the evils [he] saw.” With a team of scholars that included black political scientist Ralph Bunche, Myrdal wrote his massive 1,500-page investigation of race, now considered a classic.

An American Dilemma challenged the veracity of the American creed of equality, justice, and liberty for all. It argued that critically implicit in that creed — which Myrdal called America’s “state religion” — was a more shameful conflict: white Americans explained away the lack of opportunity for blacks by labeling them inferior. Myrdal argued that this view justified practices and policies that openly undermined and oppressed the lives of black citizens. Seventy years later, are we still a society living in this state of denial, in an era marked by the election of the nation’s first black president?

American Denial sheds light on the unconscious political and moral world of modern Americans, using archival footage, newsreels, nightly news reports, and rare southern home movies from the ‘30s and ‘40s, as well as research footage, websites, and YouTube films showing psychological testing of racial attitudes.

Exploring “stop-and-frisk” practices, the incarceration crisis, and racially-patterned poverty, the film features a wide array of historians, psychologists, and sociologists who offer expert insight and share their own personal, unsettling stories. The result is a unique and provocative film that challenges our assumptions about who we are and what we really believe.


http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/american-denial/film.html
1.
“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?

The majority of white Americans consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the Negro. They believe that American society is essentially hospitable to fair play and to steady growth toward a middle-class Utopia embodying racial harmony. But unfortunately this is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity.”

— Where Do We Go From Here, 1967

2. “I contend that the cry of "Black Power" is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro. I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years."

— 60 Minutes Interview, 1966

3. "But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?...It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity."

— “The Other America,” 1968

4. “When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

— “Revolution of Values,” 1967

5. “Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard word and sacrifice. The fact is that Capitalism was build on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.”
“The Three Evils of Society,” 1967

6. “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

—“Beyond Vietnam,” 1967

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.”

— Where Do We Go From Here, 1967

7. “The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”

— “The Three Evils of Society,” 1967

8. “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”

— Southern Christian Leadership Conference speech, 1967

9. "First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."


Letter From a Birmingham Jail, 1963

JFK and RFK acted, because they were forced to act.
They were exposed on the world stage.

Each progressive action is a product of the times that it was made in.

What does it say about our times, when women were not allowed to fight for equal wages as a group ?

What does it say about our times, when President Obama will not step up and defend the citizens of Ferguson, against institutionalized racism ?

What is the true basis of America ?

White Europeans fought among themselves, as to who would dominate everything on Earth.

The White Europeans we celebrate, came to America's shores with a sense of entitlement. They desecrated a grave and robbed the resources of the people that lived there. These venerated White Europeans began to tell lies about what happened. Their lies still live, this very day.


Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


Emerging reports about racial disparities in Ferguson’s criminal justice system and the ways in which the town uses trivial violations by blacks to bankroll the city (and disenfranchise offenders) all represent constitutional questions. Why don’t we characterize them as such? These are not just violations of the law or bad policy. These are violations of our most basic and fundamental civil liberties.

Howard Zinn
“The First Amendment is whatever the cop on the beat says it is. ..."

Purdue University President Mitch Daniels

Daniels came to Purdue University at the conclusion of his term as the 49th Governor of Indiana. He was elected Governor in 2004, in his first bid for any elected office.

After being told Zinn's work was being used at Indiana University in a course for teachers on the Civil Rights, feminist and labor movements, Daniels wrote:

"This crap should not be accepted for any credit by the state. No student will be better taught because someone sat through this session. Which board has jurisdiction over what counts and what doesn't?"

Critics say the emails support their contention that he is not qualified to lead a major university.

But supporters say Daniels was right to challenge the use of Zinn's work, which addresses American history from the viewpoint of those whose plights he said were often omitted from most history textbooks. It has been widely criticized by many conservatives and scholars and characterized by historian Eugene D. Genovese as "incoherent left-wing sloganizing."

The American Historical Association, a nonpartisan group that sets academic standards of review and publication for historians nationwide, on Friday issued a statement saying it "deplores the spirit and intent" of Daniels' emails. The association said it considered any governor's effort to interfere with an individual teacher's reading assignments "inappropriate and a violation of academic freedom."

"Whatever the strengths or weaknesses of Howard Zinn's text, and whatever the criticisms that have been made of it, we believe that the open discussion of controversial books benefits students, historians, and the general public alike. Attempts to single out particular texts for suppression from a school or university curriculum have no place in a democratic society," the statement read.

Oath Keepers plan to arm 50 black Ferguson demonstrators with AR-15 rifles and dare cops to shoot

Oh good. Now the people are taking up arms to dare the police to shoot!

The gun-loving Oath Keepers plan to arm 50 black demonstrators with AR-15 rifles in Ferguson, Missouri, and basically dare police to shoot them.

The leader of the group’s local chapter told Red Dirt Report that the event would likely be held before the end of this month to protest an order last week by law enforcement officers to Oath Keepers to put away their rifles while in city limits.

“Every person we talked to said if they carried they’d be shot by police,” said Sam Andrews, head of the Oath Keepers chapter in St. Louis County. “That’s the reason we’re going to hold this event, and it will be a legal demonstration. I’m sick and tired of law enforcement who doesn’t think they have to abide by the law. They’re narcissistic and that guy (the county police chief) discredited my men.”

I don't think this will turn out well.

I don't think this will turn out well.

Group members told Reuters that they had traveled to Ferguson at the request of two reporters working for Alex Jones’ Infowars.com, but those reporters have denied the request and police condemned their efforts.

Not at all surprised to read that.

"...the autopsy’s results already appear to contradict the description of the shooting given by police."


Jermaine Wooten, an attorney representing Ball-Bey's family, told CNN Friday no witnesses had seen the teenager with a gun.

Wooten said Ball-Bey did not live in the community and was visiting relatives but not at the house where police were serving the warrant, he said.

"He never had a gun. He did not point back toward the officers," Wooten told CNN. He said Ball-Bey could not have run more than a few feet after being shot, which contradicts police statements.

ATLANTA —

August 31, 2015

A former Union City police officer, twice cleared of shooting and killing an unarmed teen, is now under investigation once again, after another department fired him for lying.

Channel 2 Action News and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have confirmed that Georgia's Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (POST), which certifies the state's police officers, is investigating Officer Luther Lewis.

"If you can't tell the truth with a badge on your chest, why should you need to be a law enforcement officer?" said POST Director Ken Vance.

http://m.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/georgia-officer-cleared-shooting-unarmed-teen-now-/nnT3n/

2001 killing

"The 19-year-old was already lying face down on the ground with one arm handcuffed when Lewis shot him twice in the back."

19 year-old was killed in an officer-involved shooting Wednesday evening. Witnesses and officers have conflicting stories about what transpired.

(The teen had a warrant out on him, and the teen ran. He was not part of the fight that was taking place. He was trying to break the fight up.)

Channel 2 Action News and Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation into the 2011 shooting death of an unarmed teenager by a Union City police officer has revealed new details about the DNA evidence in the case.

Ariston Waiters died from two gunshot wounds to his back after running when police arrived to break up a fight between teenagers. Prosecutors say there was no indication Waiters had committed a crime.

Now a leading national expert on forensic DNA has reviewed two lab reports from the case, and says previous statements which claimed the teen's DNA was on the officer's gun, are wrong.


http://m.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/expert-dna-evidence-shooting-unarmed-teen-inconclu/nmNZ5/

The tale of the victim making a grab for the officer's weapon, is a common claim.
Is there enough funding, to pay for legitimate testing from trusted and qualified labs ?

Boston had their own problem with botched evidence. It took a long while for the truth to emerge.

Some of us can't walk down the sidewalk without being stopped by police because of our skin color or we "fit the description of a known gang member or person of interest"

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

He smiled at the man that approached him. Maybe, he was an old acquaintance, or a fan that was coming close to him at a rapid rate. Maybe, this man a wanted a hug.

But,no. It was a plain clothes police officer that tackled him, and brought him down to the concrete sidewalk. Why did the police officer order the man not to say a word, after he ordered him to roll over ? Why was that officer not wearing a badge ? He was cuffed behind his back. Four more police officers piled on top of him. They held him down for 15 minutes.

He suffered injuries to his face, his leg, his arm.

Two minutes after the police were given information that he as a confirmed suspect, he was grabbed off of the street.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/10/n...ro-is-being-investigated-police-say.html?_r=0

After the brutal tackle, and arrest, a retired police officer identified him and they let him go.

What the informant said was something that could not be further from the truth.

The man that they attacked, retired following his US Open exit in 2013 after winning 10 singles titles in a career in which he also became the number one US player.

He was waiting for a ride, and was texting in front of his hotel. He was once the fourth-ranked tennis player in the world, He was set to make an appearance at the US Open for the Time-Warner Cable company.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/09/ex-tennis-star-blake-tackled-by-nypd.html


Officers arrested a suspect in the cellphone scam at the Grand Hyatt New York hotel in Manhattan during a controlled buy earlier Wednesday, police said. It was after that buy that a deliveryman with the cellphone company pointed out Blake and another man in the hotel lobby as having purchased cellphones the day before, officers said.

The second man, who Bratton said was standing next to Blake, was taken into custody. A hotel security guard, a former member of the NYPD, recognized Blake, prompting the arresting officers to confirm his identity.


http://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article34641918.html

Police officers had arranged for a "controlled buy" at the hotel, (how many dressed in plain clothes ?) and arrested one suspect just before Blake was tackled. Sources told the tabloid that the first suspect (was the suspect a delivery man from the Cell phone company ? Someone bought cell phones with stolen credit cards ? Why are the details of this undercover operation so muddy ?) had pointed Blake and one other man out to the cops, alleging that both men had bought stolen cellphones from him.


http://gothamist.com/2015/09/09/james_blake_nypd.php

Blake was lucky that he did not reach for his ID. Who knows what might have happened...

One officer was placed on modified assignment after investigators reviewed surveillance footage, the New York Police Department said in a statement early Thursday. It said a probe of the incident was ongoing.

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...-star-james-blake-says-he-was-tackled-by-nypd

A security guard at the Grand Hyatt confirmed to NPR that there are cameras at the hotel's entrance but said he did not have access to the footage. The director of security was not available for comment.


Police spokesman- They got the wrong guy!

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

The wrong guy ? More happy horse barn waste.
The pic that the police have, that is his image's "twin,"
was a also an innocent bystander that had nothing
to do with the criminal activity taking place.

New York Times

gsgs comment-

I am hoping that the police officers do not get to claim that it was mistaken identity that led the police officer to take James Blake, champion tennis player, down. If they had tackled and arrested the "twin," the result would have been the same. They would have attacked someone who did not pose a risk. He was innocent, too.
(Someone that does not have enough public recognition and visibility, to fight back against injustice and abuse.)

/end gsgs comment


The NYPD is releasing video footage from the September 9th incident outside of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan. A copy of the video was provided to Mr. Blake’s attorney. The investigation is still ongoing.”

http://gothamist.com/2015/09/11/james_blake_arrest_video.php

Betty Blake said she doesn't buy the NYPD's claim her son's skin color played no role in his arrest.


Come on, come on," she said. "Too much of a coincidence. No one should be treated like that, white, black, purple, green, nobody should be treated like that. But it just so happens that he is black."

Asked what should happen to Officer James Frascatore, the cop who tackled her son, Betty Blake said the NYPD should "take him off the streets."

"He shouldn't have a chance to do this to anybody else," she said.

At the very least, Betty Blake said, Frascatore should have apologized.

"You say you're sorry," she said. "That's what you do."

Betty Blake said she hopes something good comes out of all this.

"I now fear for both my biracial sons," she said.

A fifth fire damages a church.
The Saint Louis police make no arrests

The first fire was set, October 8, 2015


October 18 2015


A fire early Saturday damaged the exterior of a church in northwest St. Louis, the fifth such fire in barely more than a week.

The fire was reported about 4 a.m. at New Life Missionary Baptist Church, 4569 Plover Avenue, said Capt. Garon Mosby of the St. Louis Fire Department. It damaged the front door and vinyl facade of the small, one-story frame church just north of Interstate 70.

The three other fires, also apparently set at front doors, occurred at churches within a few blocks of Goodfellow Boulevard. Local and federal arson detectives are investigating the fires. Mosby said it appears the fires are connected.
