Redstate.com's Eric Erickson is CNN’s new go-to bigot, mysoginist and homophobe

by devona walker
 In this quote, unquote “post racial” age, CNN has hired a guy who is not just an apparent bigot, but a mysoginist and avid homophobe. Erick Erickson, the editor of redstate.com. will begin working at CNN as a political commentaor oppositive John King on John King USA.

Guess the brass at CNN haven’t entirely recovered from their rabid racist withdrawals since Glenn Beck left and went to Fox News. And those withdrawals probably worsened when Lou Dobbs quit a few months back. They needed angry old white guy to fill out their lineup. After all, they do have plenty of minorities and women at the network. They wouldn’t want to let the teaparty continget to go unrepresented on the air.

Racist Rush is at it again: Paterson will get to play "massa"

If this level of racism, by a minority radio commentator, was directed at white people there is no way in the world he would still be broadcasting. No way period! I don’t care what people say about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I don’t care what videos of Louis Farrakhan that Fox News drags out and airs every hour on the hour. If America was really post-racial then this fool would not have an audience. As it stands, Limbaugh is one of the most successful talk show host in the nation. He is spewing this crap on more than 600 radio stations. And some estimate, he is reaching between 12 and 20 million people. So why do people tolerate this crap? It’s because they think he’s funny. His racism is shared by them. Only, THEY can’t say it because society has deemed being an unabashed racist as being poor taste. So they have this fat, oxycontin-addicted barf bag spewing it for them. I suppose its cathartic.

White men need to have their race cards revoked

by devona walker
In recent months the race card has been getting plenty of play. It should be of no surprise that it’s not Blacks, Asians, Hispanics or Eastern Indians for that matter, who are using it to their advantage. It’s been white folks, and lots of them, on the left and right who are throwing around terms like race-baiting and racism to degrade those that disagree with them politically. 

Christian bigotry and a last ditch effort to stop gay marriage in D.C.

by devona walker
The day before same sex marriage becomes legal in the District of Columbia (Wednesday), Catholic Charities modified its personnel policies refusing to pay for the health benefits of any newly married couple it employs.

The memo, signed by the charity's president, doesn’t mention gay marriage by name. He just references the need to change policy due to a “change in law.”   "We sincerely regret that we have to make this change... but it is necessary to allow Catholic Charities to continue to provide essential services to the clients we serve in partnership with the District of Columbia while remaining consistent with the tenets of our religious faith," read the memo. 

New Obama conspiracy: A whole new level of crazy

by devona walker
Here's the black Harlem minister who wants to try the president for treason. This complete whack job says Obama, because he's a Muslin right, was recruited by the Taliban, back in 1980 in Columbia.

Here's just to show you that the insanity in this country is not entirely about race but religion as well. You know what it also shows: That the most complete insanity can be packaged into a reasonable argument when all you do is pay attention to the accusations and not bother with facts.  Can you say Glenn Beck? Know what it also shows is that there are plenty of completely crazy black folks out there who are ready and available to provide cover for the racist in this country to bring down the First Black President. I wonder if Rev. Manning will ever be a guest on Fox News?

 

CPAC: Rightwing race-baiting really crosses the line

by devona walker
 The insults being thrown at President Obama by the rightwingers has offiiclaly out done any of the Dubya is stupid crap the previous administration endured. At its CPAC conference, a young, rising star among conservatives, 30-year-old Jason Mattera accused President Obama of snorting cocaine and likened the 2008 presidential election to Woodstock

The Congressional Black Caucus' Hollywood on the Pathetic

by devona walker
 We reported several months back that several members of the Congressional Black Caucus was the subject of an ethic investigation. At the time, there was pushback from the CBC, saying they were targeted because they were the CBC. Yeah, they played the race card. But here’s yet another report. And it makes the CBC's actions seem less questionable than just downright pathetic.

The caucus says its nonprofit groups are intended to help disadvantaged African-Americans by providing scholarships and internships to students, researching policy and holding seminars on topics like healthy living.

Tiger Woods is destroyed, Charlie Sheen gets another free pass?

by devona walker
In recent weeks, yet another celebrity, this time its Charlie Sheen is in the news for bad behavior. Unlike the case of Tiger Woods, which had massive financial ramifications, resulted in his wife filing for divorce, millions in payouts, and the end of his career, it looks as if Charlie Sheen will get, yet another free pass. 

Is this just another examples of the (celebrity) black tax? The double standard here is startling. It just seems that when a black man behaves badly, or sometimes women too, the entire world stops. But when a white guy does something far worse, no one blinks an eye. And no one, even as they are reporting this crap, appears to even notice the blatant hypocrisy? Tiger’s indiscretion:

White "savior-afflicted" missionaries, black Haitian babies?

by devona walker
This story is particularly troubling. Ten white missionaries, from Idaho no less, went down to Haiti. In the chaos and the destruction, they just grabbed some young Haitian children and tried to leave the country with them. They were found out when they tried to cross the border into the Dominician Republic. Now, they are stuck in a Haitian prison, sending home cell phone pics and videos and cloaking themselves in the “Lord’s work.”
