Comeuppances

Mississippi circuit court Judge Robert “Bobby” DeLaughter is going to federal prison.

In 1994 DeLaughter, then a Mississippi prosecutor, tried 73-year-old Byron de la Beckwith, who suffered from high blood pressure, heart problems, and other ailments, for the 1963 murder of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) official Medgar Evers.

Two previous prosecutions failed to convict, so de la Beckwith was tried a third time—three decades after the event, “despite dead or missing witnesses and evidence” in the approving words of a Jewish writer for the New York Times. This time a jury of eight blacks and four whites declared the defendant guilty and sentenced him to life in prison.

The young assistant prosecutor parlayed his trial-generated fame into a Reader’s Digest article, a book, a Mississippi judgeship, and Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), a Hollywood movie co-produced by Jewish director Rob Reiner, in which DeLaughter was heroically portrayed by Alec Baldwin. Reiner, the son of TV comedian Carl Reiner, gained fame as “Meathead,” Archie Bunker’s liberal son-in-law, in Jewish producer Norman Lear’s pioneering anti-white TV series, All in the Family.

Byron de la Beckwith died in prison in 2001. A year later Bobby DeLaughter was appointed a Circuit Court Judge for Hinds County (Jackson, Mississippi), and six years after that, in March 2008, was suspended from the bench by the state Supreme Court for suspicion of bribery, improper communications outside court, and willful and prejudicial misconduct.

In November 2009 DeLaughter was sentenced in federal court for the crime of obstruction of justice “in a case that ended his career and toppled some of Mississippi’s most powerful lawyers.” In sentencing DeLaughter, U.S. District Judge Glen Davidson told the Hollywood hero: “You have brought shame and disgrace to the legal community and the courts.”

The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Extension offers two strikingly dissimilar courses on race in America.

The first is “The Jewish People and America.” In gushing language befitting a public relations puff piece the university writes:

Learn about the extraordinary relationship between a wandering people and a golden land. Discover the lessons it teaches us about the evolution of the Jewish people from hopeful immigrants seeking a haven to esteemed citizens who found a home. This program documents remarkable achievement in the face of obstacles and ingenuity in creating opportunity in a new land. This story about Jewish hopes and the realities of the American promise provides penetrating insight into how an immigrant people forged liberating New World Jewish identities across the American landscape in commerce, arts and culture, sciences, law, higher education, medicine, entertainment, and more.

The second is “Understanding Whiteness in American History and Culture: Deconstructing White Privilege for the Reconstruction of an Anti-Racist White Identity.” Here the approach is quite different:

Eurocentric American history often masks the saliency of how the formation of Whiteness ultimately supports mechanisms of race and racism. This course outlines the historical development of Whiteness and critically analyzes the sociological results that stem from its birth. The course provides a historical framework of the birth of Whiteness; explores Whiteness (namely, White Supremacy and White Privilege) and how they impact people of color and uphold racial hierarchy to engage in a REconstruction of anti-racist white racial identity.

It is perhaps not surprising that a lawsuit, according to conservative gadfly Andrew Jones, charged the university with first amendment and civil rights violations, and with fostering an anti-white environment. “White students [at UCLA] are denigrated on a daily basis,” Jones declared in a televised appearance on Hannity & Colmes (Fox News Channel, September 8, 2006).

The university’s catalogue bears him out.

    The person teaching the course is Cheryl Matias-Padua, who recently got her Ph.D. at UCLA in Comparative Education with an emphasis in Race and Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies. She teaches at Pacific Oaks and Mount St. Mary’s Colleges and is an active workshop contributor.
    http://www.la.edu/campus-resources/facultystaff-directory/detail.asp?item=5990

    Matias-Padua was a contributor here: http://antioppressiveeducation.org/2009conferenceschedule.html

    The Center for Anti-Oppressive Education is “Reframing the Debate, Reclaiming Public Education”: http://antioppressiveeducation.org/reframing.html

    The Director of CAOE, Dr. Kevin Kumashiro, offers presentations and hands-on workshops for educators interested in creating and engaging in forms of education that challenge multiple oppressions. http://antioppressiveeducation.org/workshops.html

    One of his books, “Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning toward Social Justice, and Troubling Education,” received the 2003 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award. http://www.myerscenter.org/ (click on 2008 award winners–this organization is out of funds)

    Gustavus Myers– http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/7897401/myers/myers_index.html – (the NYT called him a “muck-raker” back in 1904).

    One of Myers’ books that caught my attention was “The German Myth”:
    http://books.google.com/books?id=62ZMAAAAIAAJ&dq=the+german+myth++gustavus+myers&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=R-Vv03iE25&sig=KV2Tzrnly5xLgwpRparB8ChZoKE&hl=en&ei=bogXS6moONCflAfa0OXvAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false .

    Scrolling to P. 6 in the Preface of the German Myth, the author says those chapters were prepared for “The League for National Unity” and issued in serial form by the “Committee on Public Information.”

    Here’s are two samples of League for National Unity’s work:

    In the first part:
    Judges should be held to a MUCH higher standard of law and order as public servants with so much public trust in them. They need to be highly intelligent, fair-minded, above politics, and objective. There should be massive penalties up to and including the death penalty for abuse of that office –which imperils all of society. No common criminal is in a position to do as much damage to truth, to freedom, to the future of mankind, as a judge. In society, (esp. in science, in courtrooms, in schoolrooms, etc.) politics, selfishness, and greed destroy truth upon which good decisions and the future of mankind rely. So much for the Sotomayor affirmative-action appointment to the supreme court. Since there are so many more qualified candidates out there, this could be considered a crime in a way… we are all probably going to suffr for it anyway.

    The second one:
    Really shows the power of Jews, and their mass-psychology manipulations over the last 100+ years. Remember that Machiavelli said that if you want to know who rules in any country, just ask who it is who you cannot criticise. This is a great example because 1)colleges are where the opinion-makers and the movers / shakers of society are educated — thus sending waves of people out to society with these sorts of anti-white and dangerously inverted and confused attitudes and 2) because they are 2 courses at the same university — juxtapose them and you have the real agenda: Jewish control and their ANTI-WHITE agenda. They still cannot name a course that though…

    Amazing hypocrisy. The fact is you can replace the description of the first course about the Jewish people with white people. White people are wanderers as much as Jews are. The difference is that Jews do not seem to be able to create a civilization out of a wilderness. They seem to do the opposite. Look at South Africa and Detroit. Whites came to North America and overcame racist persecution by native americans and created a civilization out of a wilderness. I do hope they include in the course about Jews the contribution they made in regards to the importation of slaves into North America from Africa. Funny thing is it seems that some people consider illegal immigration to be modern day slavery. Plenty of Jews seem to be advocates for illegal immigration. Many have been arrested for hiring illegal immigrants.

    I liked both articles.

    But the second one should be posted EVERYWHERE!

    How disgusting. How obvious. How sick and twisted.

    Awful, just awful.

    To me instead of the nauseating puff-piece it should read,

    Celebrating 4,000 years of Psychopathology.
    Learn how a people rose to power hiding behind a Myth of Innocence; and how, with a single-mindedness of purpose that would make the most commited Facist blush with shame and envy, they clung to this myth with clenched teeth.
    Follow the story of a tribe who demands to be loved unconditionally by the entire world while demonizing dissent, and pathologizing all opposition, to their lust for power, control, and world domination.
