I was looking at the exit poll data for the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary, and I noticed some things. First off, it was 58% female, because, as I’ve said before, it’s very hard to imagine someone which a penis voting for a Democrat. The other things I noticed involved race and gender. Blacks went insanely for Obama at 90% for him versus 10% for Hillary. White women had an absurd 68% percent for Hillary versus 32% for Obama. That left it up to white men to actually vote for one or the other based on the issues and not just their racial or gender identity (they went 57% to 43% for Hillary). It’s kinda unfair to put that much responsibility on them.

Discrimination Lawsuit in Ithaca

Ithaca mother says the School District neglected her daughter.  Ahh, I see, Little Epiphany’s feelings were being hurt, which could lead to a loss of self esteem.     Totally grounds for suing the school administration.

NEW YORK — Federal authorities have subpoenaed financial records and employees in an apparent probe of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s 2004 presidential bid, nonprofit civil rights group, and for-profit businesses, a newspaper reported Thursday.

As many as 10 Sharpton associates were subpoenaed Wednesday to testify before a federal grand jury in Brooklyn Dec. 26, his lawyer told the Daily News.

They were told to provide investigators with financial records from the campaign and roughly six Sharpton-related businesses, as well as personal financial documents of Sharpton and his wife, the newspaper said.

The FBI and Internal Revenue Service are seeking the records, which go back to 2001, according to the Daily News.

A Sharpton spokeswoman did not immediately return phone calls or e-mail messages early Thursday.

An FBI agent who answered the phone at the agency’s New York headquarters declined to comment, and an agency spokesman did not immediately return a…

What a combination this is folks. After a little searching ( google ) I was able to figure out why Tommy’s money goes to one faction of this Community all the time. Most of us who grew up in Elmira supported Tommy by buying our clothes from either the trunk of his car or ” Peoples Place “. Of course going into Peoples Place was kind of taking a chance that you would be deemed a drug user since it was a ” Head Shop “. But, with that said I’d like to link you to Wikipedia for a little background entertainment and then to his son Rich Hil’s website. Maybe I’m just getting old and the generation gap is closing in on me, but I find it very hard to fathom how the ” N ” word can be buried by E.O.P. and…

JASON WHITLOCK ON race, violence, and politics. (Via Brutally Honest).

CONGRATULATIONS TO F.I.R.E.: The University of Delaware has abandoned its controversial “thought reform” program.

I had printed out all the online texts that were provided by Delaware University and gave them to the Black members of my family. My Aunt Carmen (PHD in Math from Columbia), was affronted by the material, though, she may not be the best indicator of the absolute rubbish of their content, she never went for the whole “Your a Black Woman, you have no place here” kind of mentality the producers of these booklets presumed.

She found it laughable to assume that Black people could not hold prejudiced thoughts, and she was really annoyed at the assumption that set asides were just about a mandatory item for race relations. Oh Well. Anecdotally at least, race relations are pretty good.

ETA: MORE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE, from Fritz…

I don’t even know where to begin with this one, but after reading the materials provided on the University of Delaware site, I can today, finally, admit, my colorblind attitude towards life is just a thinly veiled super-racism, that my whiteness blinds me from seeing!  Gaah!  No really.  What is absolutely sickening, is this tripe is required for all students attending the Delaware University.  Take the time to read it all, I did.

The following are quotes from the booklet that students must learn…

“A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they…

Area teens to attend black college expo

When he went away to college, Richard Dozier found that, for the first time, he didn’t have to wonder whether a low grade or a critical remark was somehow racially motivated.

Whites only school?  Would not fly.  Insulating oneself from the world does not help the world, nor does it help oneself.  How do these kids expect the world to be changed, if they are not willing to do the changing?  It’s been a long time since June 11, 1962 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Sad that the kids of today don’t respect their forefathers (and foremothers) enough to continue the good works already accomplished.

(I have beaten this drum before, but the injustice still is striking.)

N THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR: Media myths about the Jena 6. “The media got most of the basics wrong. In fact, I have never before witnessed such a disgrace in professional journalism. Myths replaced facts, and journalists abdicated their solemn duty to investigate every claim because they were seduced by a powerfully appealing but false narrative of racial injustice.”The narrative was right, but the facts were wrong. Where have I heard that before?
