A Medal for Negritude

Ninety-year-old Edward Brooke (R-MA) was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal on October 28, supposedly for being the first Negro elected by popular vote to the United States Senate. In truth, he was recognized for obtaining preferential treatment for his own people and laying the foundation for the sub-prime housing crash.

The bill making the award was authored by non-voting House Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), and passed by white renegades of both parties. A release from Norton’s office gushed that D.C.-born Brooke, “Although he served as Senator of Massachusetts, worked vigilantly for his hometown throughout his service. He called his Republican and Democrat friends in the Senate seeking support for full representation for his native town” — meaning, of course, supporting his race. Negroes who throw in their lot with the GOP today are derided by so-called “civil rights leaders” and the media alike as plain traitors to their race, but dusky infiltrators and seditionists of the 1960s are honored for their accomplishments.

As Massachusetts Attorney General, he supported enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the latter mandating today’s obscenely gerrymandered congressional districts and forbidding the reduction of minority voting strength. After election to the Senate in 1966, Brooke conspired with the execrable Walter Mondale (D-MN) and convinced other GOP members to abridge Americans’ property rights with the Orwellian-titled “Fair Housing” Act of 1968. He introduced and passed the Equal Credit Opportunity Act — an essential tool used by the Clinton and Bush Administrations to create the sub-prime mortgage industry and a direct cause of the housing debacle of the past few years.

Plenty of white politicians are equally to blame for these anti-white disasters, but no one honors a traitor, least of all those who benefit from his treason. Only because of his negritude and his longevity was Brooke singled out from the congressional rat-pack for this extremely dubious distinction.

Justice — For the Moment

The Supreme Court has refused to hear a group of American Indians suing to invalidate the Washington Redskins football team’s trademark on its name, on the grounds that the term is “offensive” to them. The case began in 1992. The Patent and Trademark Office canceled the trademark in 1999, but was reversed by a federal court in 2003 because the plaintiffs waited too long to sue. (The trademark was issued in 1967.) That lawsuit is now over.

Another group of six young Indians filed a similar suit two years ago, which has been held in abeyance pending the outcome of this case. Their argument is that they should have standing to sue because they were not born in 1967, and all being between 18 and 24 now, this is their first chance to challenge the trademark.

If the courts accept this laughable contention, there are plenty of white 18-year-olds who should step forward to file suit over the Fourteenth Amendment, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Roe v. Wade, affirmative action and other longstanding anti-white outrages. They will certainly have more real damages to cite than the Indians’ mere hurt feelings.

. . . But They Can’t Take It

On the lighter side, a letter to the editor in D.C.’s Dupont Current neighborhood newspaper (November 18) declared the writer “outraged” about an earlier missive (unseen) from a Jim McGrath, who dared to criticize one Morton Bender’s proposal to use a local property he owns as a hotel.

McGrath’s “remarks about the applicant’s zoning proposal containing ‘a gallon of schmaltz’ and ‘a generous coating of chutzpah’ are tasteless and offensive,” declared the writer, who will remain nameless here, but who is obviously a Member of the Tribe. “Furthermore, Mr. McGrath’s metaphor of Mr. Bender as King Solomon (originally put forth by the chair of the neighborhood commission) is equally distasteful. References to Mr. Bender’s Jewish background have no place in public criticism of his business activities.”

Of course, calling a critic everything but an anti-Semite and a racist apparently is relevant to the public discussion. If it weren’t for double standards, these people would have no standards at all.

Hispanics now make up 31.5 percent of US Customs and Border Protection personnel. Franklin Jones (race unspecified, but we have our suspicions), executive director of CBP’s equal employment opportunity, boasts that this glowing accomplishment was achieved by “community outreach, career development, and targeted recruiting for under-represented groups.” In other words, CBP actively discriminated against whites.

Since Hispanics make up only 10.7 percent of the US workforce, according to the Feds, they are already vastly over-represented at CBP, and even make up about 13 percent of the agency’s highest-paid employees.

So when will “outreach” start for “under-represented” whites? Hold your breath.

Must be Racism!

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are reported “outraged” because the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, laughably known as the “ethics committee” for an organization that has no ethics, is currently investigating no fewer than seven Negro members.

Never mind that the committee exists not to ferret out wrongdoing, but to cover up public ethical lapses among its members or, at worst, grant absolution by slapping them lightly on the wrist. This is an opportunity to scream “racism!,” and no black politician ever misses a chance like that. “Is there concern whether someone is trying to set up [CBC] members? Yeah, there is,” an anonymous black Democrat told Politico.com. “It looks as if there is somebody out there who understands what the rules [are] and sends names to the ethics committee with the goal of going after” the CBC. CBC Chairman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and other Negro House members met with Office of Congressional Ethics officials earlier this year to raise “concerns.” And things have only gotten worse since that meeting.

At the end of October, new ethics investigations were opened on Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Laura Richardson (D-CA). This in addition to pending probes on Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), whose numerous woes were summarized in our last report, Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-MI), Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Donald Payne (D-NJ) and Donna Christensen (D-VI). The only black senator, Roland Burris (D-IL), who was appointed last year by the disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), is under investigation by that chamber’s ethics panel.

Kilpatrick Thompson, Payne, and Christensen are being scrutinized for taking corporate-paid trips to “multinational business conferences” in the black islands in the Caribbean — a violation of a rule change implemented by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in 2007. The most amusing aspect of this particular farce is that Negro G. K. Butterfield (D-NC), who took the same trip before Pelosi outlawed it, is leading the “investigation.” He claims, of course, that he has no conflict of interest, either in having made the now-forbidden trip or in being black. “To put one of their own [CBC] members in charge of the investigation just shows that nothing has changed — the ethics process is still a complete mockery,” observed an official of one of the Washington “watchdog” groups.

Similarly, Negro Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) is one of those sitting in judgment of Waters for using her position to get “bailout” money for a minority-owned bank whose board of directors once included her husband, and in which he still owns sizeable stock holdings. Richardson is being probed over a house she abandoned after being elected to Congress, but reacquired after a third party purchased it in foreclosure.

Most interesting from a racial point of view is the blacks’ bitter complaint that Jewish Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) is not being investigated after being caught on a federal wiretap talking to an Israeli agent about her plans to chair the House Intelligence Committee. (Pelosi later blocked her from taking that post.) The paranoid black Democrat who spoke to Politico railed that Harman is getting a pass “because she has plenty of money to defend herself” and the committee is fearful of “going up against” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Well, even paranoid Negroes are not always wrong.

Feeding Our Destruction

A new analysis of Food Stamp statistics says that nearly half of all US children — including 90 percent of Negro kids — are eating off taxpayers during some part of their childhood. Overall, 37 percent of “whites” use Food Stamps by the time they are 20, according to the study — and this figure apparently includes Hispanics, since they are not mentioned separately in reports on the study.

What this really demonstrates is the real magnitude of demographic disaster that has overcome once-white America.

What Do You Mean, ‘We,’ White Man?

For more than two centuries, Haiti has stood as the incontrovertible monument to the black man’s ability to govern himself without white assistance. After 200 years of black rule, it is unquestionably the most wretched, poverty-drenched hell-hole in the entire Western Hemisphere — excepting, perhaps, Detroit — a political, social, economic, educational and environmental disaster par excellance.

The 75-year-old chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Jim Oberstar (D-MN), visited that island recently with black Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Corinne Brown (D-FL), to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the time he spent there teaching French and Creole to US military personnel during one of their periodic occupations of the country.

“There are hopeful signs” for Haiti, lied Oberstar when interviewed by a writer for The Hill newspaper. “If the [presidential election of 2011] is honest and goes off successfully without disruption, it will be an expression of the people’s will, and Haiti will then have the stability it needs to implement the changes in government structure, and attract back the Haitian diaspora . . . . They’d come home if there were no reprisals and opportunities for them. But there are some things we need to do . . . .”

“We” need to “distribute US produced charcoal fuel for heating and cooking” because Haitians have chopped down the 130 million trees “we” planted there long ago and used the wood for fuel. “We’ve got to reforest the countryside,” says Oberstar, not even being honest enough to add “again.”

“That’s the starting point. Then we and the international community have to support the government encourage outside investment.” And on and on.

While “we’re” at it, why not stock that island paradise with unicorns, centaurs, and mermaids, to give the inhabitants some much-needed food and sport?

The unrepentant, in-your-face lawbreaking of Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has nationalized the racial woes that Democrats were already facing at the state level in New York. The party appeared fully prepared to lose the governorship, and suffer collateral damage in the legislature, rather than offend Negroes by allowing a serious primary candidate to run against disastrous accidental Gov. David Paterson (D), whose approval rating recently fell to 27 percent. Only after it was leaked that Barack Obama himself wanted Paterson out was anyone willing to whisper a word of opposition to the current black ruler, and there is still no credible Democratic challenger, although former Rep. Rick Lazio (R) has declared for the seat.

Now, with Rangel’s recent admission that for years he concealed more than $600,000 in assets, he is poised to become the poster boy for a new “culture of corruption” campaign — this time run by the GOP. Rangel has been under investigation for more than a year by the House ethics committee for failure to pay taxes, abuse of rent-controlled properties in Harlem, promising political favors in exchange for a City College institution he created with an earmark and named after himself, and still more depredations. In a recent, unsuccessful GOP attempt to dethrone him, two “Blue Dog” Mississippi Democrats — Travis Childers and Gene Taylor — voted with Republicans in a desperate attempt to save their seats in conservative-leaning districts. Those who sided with the crook can expect to see opponents use that vote against them in the next campaign.

Despite low-key complaints by Democratic House members who fear this scandal may cost them their jobs in 2010, Speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t force Rangel to step down as the powerful chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, thereby deepening her party’s peril as he continues to stink and shine like a mackerel in the moonlight. But it’s not entirely her fault. There’s little question she would jettison him as quickly as she did Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) last year, but for the unanimous and openly defiant opposition of the Congressional Black Caucus. She desperately needs those 41 CBC votes to get anything done in the House; without them, she does not have a majority.

When you lie down with dogs . . . .

The Dangers of Free Speech

Freshman Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who defeated RINO Christopher Shays last year, has run afoul of the Sensitivity Police for “tweeting” about another House member: “Minority colleague just said he’s glad his dad is dead so he wont see consumer finance reform. Sheesh.”

After catching grief for allegedly slandering a “protected class,” Himes whined: “Realized when I referred to ‘minority colleague’ some thought I meant ethnic minority. In fact, I meant Republican. Gotta watch the DC-speak!”

Yes, we all do. Big Bro is watching you!

The Department of Injustice

Negroes and white Democrats are so stupid, according to Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department, that they can’t be trusted to vote “correctly” unless there is a “D” on the ballot to guide them in making their “X.”

Last November, at the same time the two-thirds-black town turned out to give Obama a solid majority, residents of Kinston, NC, voted to eliminate partisan elections for mayor and city council. Only nine of the state’s 551 local jurisdictions still hold partisan contests.

But Loretta King, acting head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, refused to allow that decision to be honored because its “effect will be strictly racial.” Departmental review is required by the Voting Rights Act of all electoral changes in North Carolina, but not in most non-Southern states.

King declared that it is only the party designation on ballots that “results in enough white cross-over to allow the black community to elect a candidate of choice.” Therefore, “Removing the partisan cue in municipal elections will, in all likelihood, remove the single factor that allows black candidates to be elected to office.”

The proudly racist King is also the person responsible for dropping voter intimidation charges against three New Black Panther Party goons who were recorded blocking access to the polls and threatening both whites and Republican blacks last November in Philadelphia. Charges were dropped over the objections of career prosecutors, and after summary judgment had been awarded against the Negroes in this only documented case of racial voter intimidation during the lifetime of most Americans.

Only the Kinston City Council has standing to take this explosive issue to court, and it voted four to one against that action after receiving the decision. William Barker, the dissenting council member, was against the change, but declared, “It bothers me, even though I’m on the winning side now, that you have a small group, an outside group, coming in and saying, ‘Your vote doesn’t count.’”

Holder’s minions also refused to approve Georgia’s plan for verifying the citizenship of its voters. Although the Help America Vote Act supposedly requires states to verify the identities of those who cast ballots, Obama’s feds say the Georgia program has a “discriminatory effect” on minority voters.

Useful Idiots

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has finally achieved a long-term dream — Congress has passed his resolution calling for a posthumous pardon for Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion. According to the bill, Johnson’s “racially motivated conviction in 1913 . . . diminished [his] athletic, cultural, and historic significance . . . and unduly tarnished his reputation.” Johnson was jailed for violating the federal Mann Act — transporting a (white) woman across state lines for “immoral purposes.” After being convicted, he fled the country, but later returned through a bargain in which he served just ten months in prison.

Incredibly, this legislation was not a Congressional Black Caucus effort. The bill has been introduced in every Congress since 2004 by two honky lickspittles — McCain in the Senate and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in the House. McCain had never been able to attract many co-sponsors except the always racially shaky Sam Brownback (R-KS), who, thankfully, is departing the Senate next year. The only others joining him this year were Harry Reid (D-NV) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), which should have tipped anyone off that something was wrong. King generally had almost all members of the CBC backing his version; this year, only eight Negroes signed on before passage — Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL), Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-MI), Gwen Moore (D-WI), Bobby Rush (D-IL), Al Green (D-TX), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Charlie Rangel (D-NY), and Edolphus Towns (D-NY).

McCain and King sent a letter to the White House this month, citing their congressional resolution and requesting that Obama formally pardon his “brother.”
