US society is like a giant luxury cruiser in international waters which is always saying ‘Sorry’ as it sometimes actively and most often passively, repeatedly kills people of other races and nationalities. In short, American society is a lot like the criminal Princess Cruises luxury ship, which sailed on by three Black Panamanians signaling a distress call at sea, so as not to inconvenience its mainly White clients on board. Here, in this event, one can see a microcosmic version of all that is wrong with US society today. Two people died due to the indifference of Princess Cruises. And thousands upon thousands of Iraqis and Afghans die due to the indifference of Americans as a whole. Princess Cruises sorry for ignoring Panama castaways.

As the George Zimmerman case plays out, we in the US still live in a Land of the Not Investigated, racially motivated Hate Crime. The latest Hate Crime seems to have happened just last Sunday in Arizona, and has received scant attention in the US press. See Phoenix area’s Fox News’ inadequate coverage 1 of 2 Border Shooting Victims in Eloy Identified for minimal info about this case. Seems that hate attacks on ‘illegal aliens’ are hardly worthy of coverage per our US press corps.

A couple of White men killing Blacks ad lib in Tulsa, and the police have responded quickly and appropriately and arrested the responsible parties, so far. But in Florida it remains a different story as the police apparently there see George Zimmerman as being somehow basically one of their own. Th reason for that is the intervention of the father or the vigilante assassin, and how that and his local political allies influenced decision making.

Thousands upon thousands of marchers today were active nationwide demanding that justice be served on George Zimmerman for his assassination of Travon Martin in Florida, with whom he started a confrontation with because he thought it suspicious that a Black teenager was walking in his neighborhood.

US government militarism occupies this woman’s country and kills over a million of its citizens over several decades, and yet it is the Iraqi born woman who is labeled a terrorist by her killer? All decent Americans need to demand Justice for Shaima Al Awadi!
 
Is this killer of this poor woman perhaps a soldier or vet, too?… because American occupations of other peoples’ countries now fuels this racist violence running rampant throughout the US. See Iraqi mother, Shaima Al Awadi, dies days after being viciously beaten with tire iron.

What an asshole! Morgan Stanley Executive Charged in Cab Hate Crime Attack. …This banker deserves to get 20 years in the state pen. If the shoe was on the other foot, you know that’s exactly about what the cab driver would get.

More likely gout. Obviously Breitbart’s body lacked the bilious elasticity of Bill O’Reilly or Rush Limbaugh. Speaking of which, were you in the loop on this email joke? A young black Limbaugh asks his mom; “Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?” To which his mother replied: “Don’t even go there Rush! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!”
 
Probably you’d find that joke more crude than either a Limbaugh or Breitbart mother would deserve, but imagine that the actual subject of the email was President Obama and his mother. The real story is that such an email was forwarded by Montana Chief US District Judge Richard Cebull to his inner circle, with the following personal note: “Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.”

COLORADO SPRINGS- Local filmmaker, city council candidate, and critic of urban sprawl, Dave Gardner, screened his new doc GROWTHBUSTERS to a receptive hometown audience last night, on the heels of its world premier in Washington DC. Gardner has long defined his personal mission as questioning the wisdom of “growth”. Finally his unpopular theme is gaining traction. With GrowthBusters Gardner addresses economic growth, rampant consumption, carbon footprints and over-development, building to what he’s decided is the most elephantine challenge in the room, global population growth. Except, I’m sorry, that’s an elephant of another color. I resisted the Q & A, not wanting to pull down the evening’s celebratory curve. A giddy panel of white folk is for me as much a temptation as the easy target Gardner chose. In the privacy of the internet, we at Not My Tribe don’t have bubbles we’re too reluctant to burst.

Only, the PIG Johannes Mehserle deliberately shot Oscar Grant, in the back, while Mr Grant was face down on the sidewalk, with the 200 pound PIG Johannes Mehserle kneeling on him. Mr Grant was also already handcuffed. The PIG Johannes Mehserle claimed he though he had his Taser instead of his double-action (rare) Sig-Sauer automatic pistol and was tasering Mr Grant. Why taser a handcuffed man in the first place? Because PIGS, like Johannes Mehserle and every other uniformed badge, are sadistic and sexually enjoy the pain of others, especially when the Others are helpless. Yeah, I do think that of cops. Cops beat it into me, while I was handcuffed and on occasion wile strapped into chairs, for talking bad about them and “hurting their feelings”. Awwww… Poor widdle cwybaby PIGS. What will you do, beat it out of me? While I’m handcuffed of course because you would never engage in equal combat.

This is the Boer Supremacist who pulled the trigger on Mr Grant

Of course, now the Land Commissioner is putting through using his State Agency an official OK for issuing license plates with the confederate Hate Flag for a group called Sons Of Confederate Veterans. A group for which I qualify but I would never darken their doorway because I believ Know For A FACT that they’re celebrating a four-year long continuous 9/11 Terror Attack against Americans, for the purpose of the “states right” to use state funds and state police and state militia to enforce the perpetual denial of every human right to Americans based on the color of their skin. They’re a front group for the Klan in other words.
But that’s not the whole story nor where I got the title for this post.
I had a neighbor in Polytechnic Heights, a neighborhood in Ft Worth. Her name was Mrs Stark. Age 98. One early morning, I wasn’t there, I was in Oklahoma at Job Corps learning to cook…. she was struck by the Poly Rapist. Who was actually more than one person. Struck repeatedly with a hammer then raped, then laft to die. For all that, she lived another week or so in intensive care. The attackers were a youth gang. Teenagers. And black. But that isn’t really relevant, they didn’t rape little old ladies because they were white or the attackers black, it wasn’t revenge for slavery or anything like that. They were just cowards, out for the cheapest thrill available. Which during that long hot summer was rape and murder. It wasn’t racially based, it was based on them finding the easiest victims, the ones most helpless. God help the stupid bastard who tries to tell me that White Americans never attacked or don’t still attack the most helpless victims, they’re not off the hook.
This was the late 70s, legalized segregation wasn’t a very distant memory. There was a very half-hearted offer from the Klan to patrol the streets. Yeah right. They were fishing for a way to look like martyrs, prevented from Nobly Protecting The Elderly by Liberals. While the Stark truth was that they wouldn’t have been able to do it. They, too, prefer their victims to be as helpless as possible. They were going to try to play it up as a Black vs White conflict.

Not so good news from Atlanta and Oakland where popo busted up the occupation with tear gas and swinging clubs. This in spite of the fact that no violent acts or threats of violence had come from the occupiers.
I’ll preface this next statement, because some on the MightMakesRight Wing don’t have very good reading skills, Tear Gas is sometimes lethal just as Nerve Gas(es) are not universally lethal, many people have died from tear gas and many people have survived being gassed with The Other.
It’s not a question of whether Tear Gas is lethal but a mere question of relative lethality. Much like the difference between being shot with a .38 special and being shot with a 12 gauge shotgun and that relative to being shot several times with a belt fed machine gun.
The Oakland PIGS, famous for hiring a white supremacist from the former Rhodesia who subsequently MURDERED an American Black Man, Oscar Grant, by shooting Mr Grant in the back while he was laying on the concrete…. Then let him get away with that murder through a deliberately botched investigation (Blue Wall)…

But that’s not news. Trade ratio of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners exchanged for one Gilad Shalit could not but encourage the Zionist notion that Israeli Jews are worth more than your average cretinous Palestinian. Of course, Palestine held only one prisoner, versus Israel’s 6,000, so Israelis might consider that Shalit was worth only 16% of real exchange rate. Mathematicians might wonder how any multiple of non-Jews could be considered equal to one Jew. Apartheid suggests you don’t want to be compared to a low-life nothing, especially at a magnitude. Really, are Palestinians supposed to make peace with that?

According to Mr Murdoch’s paper The Globe which is like the Enquirer without the high journalistic standards.
Calls him “Tough Talking Sheriff” which .. eh…
You can be tough talking and still be a… you know.
Apparently he’s willing to spend the taxpayer money from Maricopa county, the most populous in AZ therefore the busiest crime center, and of course his own time to put forth a right wing probe,
That’s if, of course, he really did file charges.
So this leads to yet another installment of “Hey, Minuteman, here’s MY I.D.!” and making the observation that WE can ask the self-appointed judges of All Claims Of American to show us THEIR papers…
AND
If their papers don’t satisfy us, possibly forgeries, maybe issued in Kenya, whatever, we make the rules on what Their Papers need to be in order to satisfy us… then they don’t get to look at MINE. Tough cookies babe.

Visitors to what remains of the WWII-era Granada Relocation Center located on Highway 50 past Lamar, are tempted to conclude that the remote location was isolation enough to restrict the movement of its 7,000 Japanese-American internees. Gone are all 560 buildings except their concrete foundations; the few remaining photographs depict a vast layout of spartan barracks, playing host to ordinary civilian lives, minus the atmosphere of incarceration. Were there cyclone fences and watch towers? The answer should not surprise you. Of course. Camp Amache was ringed by the usual multiple perimeters of prison fences, including six watch towers manned by military police, who were there, it was explained, for the internees’ protection. I think plans to further restore Amache need to begin with the security fortifications. If such blights on American history as these race-based detention centers are memorialized in the hope that our nation not do it again, it dishonors our victims, and blunts the lesson, not to illustrate our heavy hand.

COLORADO SPRINGS- If US Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) remembered one thing from the Uncle Remus stories, it was not to touch that Tar Baby! You know, the one Brer Rabbit mistook for a cute black infant who would not tip his hat to his better. Or was that a Porch-Monkey? Colorado’s 5th District is unclear about the distinction if the local media and Fox News are to be believed. Either term refers to a poor person whose sticky problems become your “quagmire” if you ignore your natural prejudice to their skin color and you let them touch you. Can a representative of bigots be bothered to know if a racial slur is offensive? According to Lamborn, he can’t. More important, the congressman reiterates –as he professes his apology to people taking umbrage at racism he hadn’t intended to express– is: NOT TO TOUCH THAT OBAMA!
 
To be clear, Doug Lamborn hasn’t apologized to his constituents, he’s only claimed to have sent President Obama a letter, assuring all that Obama, the black untouchable, will have the grace to forgive him as “a man of character”.
 
And so this Uncle Remus tale simply goes on…

At the Alamo during the Texas Land Grab Disguised As A Revolution while he was waiting to be overrun and killed.
 
Mighty “white” of him but, hey, the manumission papers were a useless formality. One of the excuses used for stirring up the revolution was “deprivation of property rights” meaning that General Antonio Jose y Maria Lopez de Santa Ana had, through the enforcement of the Guerrero Proclamation, emancipation papers for anybody in Mexico (including, legally, San Antonio) who was held as a slave. This wasn’t done as a slap in the face for the white Anglo colonists, who hadn’t (yet) become quite the pestilence they would later be.

The US Department of Defense finally released the list of US soldiers killed on the NATO MH-47 Chinook helicopter downed in Afghanistan.

Median age was in high 30s, which is unsurprising for highly trained Special Ops, but isn’t it interesting that the usual disproportionate percentage of Americans of Color as cannon fodder (see casualty figures) doesn’t extend to the higher-paid military career jobs?
 
Huge props of course to African Americans who decide against being career hitmen. And let’s not neglect the exclusively white composition of the Abu Ghraib snap shot perps, and the docket, however sparse, of other US soldiers accused of war crimes.

Reaping a harvest, they are. Since Dame Maggot Thatcher was in office the Crown has been moving steadily back toward Bloody Mary time. They knew they had shat in their soup when Prince Charmless and his lovely bride Camelface came face to face with a mob who made it all the way up to their vehicle. Over the issue of expanding fees and shrinking subsidies, the issue du jour was tuition.
So, instead of reading the signs they proceeded to host at public expense the most lavish wedding in history and then backhand the people with more demands for Austerity on the part of the Working class.
And, all pretense of shock and horror when the people started fighting back. How dare the peasantry loot a few hundred million pounds from shops? And burn a few of Her Majesty’s vehicles too…
Meanwhile, the Crown is extorting billions upon billions, looting the entire country and, counting Iraq and Afghanistan, a couple of Other Countries as well.
And throwing in a little racist vigilantism on the part of the anti-riot rioters.

YES OF COURSE my surprised is feigned, but not my embarrassment. How in the world does a newspaper of not insignificant distribution (okay, readership perhaps) not restrain itself from supporting a bigoted remark like Congressman Lamborn’s? Whether the racism was inadvertent or idiotic, at best the comparison of America’s black president to a “Tar-Baby” could have been remarked upon, if one didn’t want to condemn it, but the Colorado Springs Gazette chose to support its Tea-Party libertarian by belittling criticism that the reference to the Uncle Remus stereotype was racist. In historic perspective it recalls the days when Colorado newspapers endorsed lynchings, and later the Klan. In essence that’s not ancient history. People no further away than Denver can dismiss Lamborn as typical of Pikes Peak mouth-breathers, and the Gazette editorial page confirms them. Indignation doesn’t begin to touch it.

That line probably gets lots of laughs at Tea Parties, but over Denver airwaves, Congressman Doug Lamborn’s likening President Obama to a “Tar Baby” got, I’ll say it, sticky. Yeah, the expression meant “intractable quagmire” when Mitt Romney used it to describe an cost-prohibitive subway project, but Tar Baby’s primary allusion to a negative African-American stereotype got Romney in trouble. Now like a banana peel gag irresistible to Republicans, “Tar Baby” is how Doug Lamborn chose to describe, not a hole in the ground into which you pour money, not a trap set by a clever fox to lure the Uncle Remus progenitor of Bugs Bunny, but to describe his Teabag constituents’ poster child usurper, risen from America’s untouchable class, our first black president.
 
You dopey Tea Party Klan jester, you won’t shake Barack Obama’s hand because it’s black. You’re a racist sneak, unfortunately egged on by the bigots endemic to your backwater district. I hope you find that the rest of Colorado will make your “Tar Baby” remark a real tar baby for you.

Israel asserts that Palestinian efforts to seek UN recognition, without Israel’s consent, are intended to delegitimize the Tel Aviv regime. Apparently sending an aid convey to relieve the siege of Gaza is also to delegitimize Israel. What they really mean it that Israel’s inevitably violent responses won’t help but to prompt onlookers to rethink Zionism’s legitimacy. Because, Israel was created unilaterally by the UN, without obtaining Palestinian consent. And whatever reason could anyone contrive to deny humanitarian aid to the Gazans? The Obama administration recently reiterated its aim to combat efforts to delegitimize Israel. You wonder if they’ve even asked it themselves, what is legitimate about Apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and occupation?

From BBC News
“More than 60,000 Americans were sterilised, many against their will, as part of a eugenics movement that finished in 1979, aimed at keeping the poor and mentally ill from having children. Now, decades on, one state is considering compensation.”
2,900 victims still alive, but the State Legislators are quibbling over paying them because of “the Economy” which their own so-called “conservative” policies destroyed.
These would be the same Legislators who are working on drafting a liberty-destroying Racial Profile Law similar to the Arizona-Alabama-Georgia-whoever is next- “show your papers” law which will cost far more to implement, enforce and ultimately compensate the victims of Police Brutality which WILL result from such racist profiling.
Apparently the stated goal of the Eugenics movement didn’t get accomplished, because there are enough North Carolina residents who are Stupid enough to vote for such racist actions. Probably many of the same ones who voted to keep Eugenics going, it IS, after all, a darling notion of the Nazis, Klan and other TeaParty fellow travelers

But somebody who fights back, maybe stops the Killer Kop Klansman from murdering him, would still do a life sentence upon capture and conviction, for “aggravated Assault”.
Pigs get to kill anybody they please.
This right on the heels of Alabama, another Historically Racist State, being put on Minority Lockdown status with a Racial Profiling “show your papers” Law.
The punk-ass Minutemen and other Klan groups say it’s not racism, they lie about a lot of other stuff too, so no change there.
They’re not merely Racists, liars for saying their not Racists, but also Cowards because they’re afraid their racist actions might be rightfully perceived as the Racism it truly is.
So, next they’ll be able to demand of any person who isn’t Mr John Q LilyWhite to prove, to their irrational hate filled satisfaction, that he’s legally a citizen.
Or, they’ll just force him to the sidewalk, put a gun in his back and draw the trigger, and if anybody ever prosecutes them for it they’ll get the minimum sentence for “involuntary” MAN slaughter. Just like their Koward Kop Klansman in Oakland.

I swear the Territory Days Triumphalism celebration (Like the so-called “Islamic Triumphalism” rally around the world last September 11th, remember that? They were celebrating Eid, one of their holidays they celebrate every damn year using the same Lunar Calendar the Israelis use. It’s like Famous Racist Jerkoff Mel Gibson if he would actually go so far as saying that Passover is Jewish Triumphalism for killing Jesus) is getting More Racist every year. Anyway, at Territory Days they’re celebrating Custer, Kit Carson, Gen Palmer, Colonel Chivington… claiming once more that the Sand Creek Massacre was instead a necessary battle because the Cheyenne and Arapaho, who had a legal right to be there, were Threatening Being Bad Indians And Not Doing What Their Newly Self-Appointed White Overlords Told Them To Do. The White Overlords who didn’t have a legal right to be there.

Way to slant a headline! “State initiatives to stem immigration fizzle in the face of Federal inaction.” How about reporting it like this?
“Racist State Legislators, in the face of opposition from Mainstream Americans, who would be the REAL targets of their Racial Profiling initiatives, even with massive funding from Nazi organizations like News Corp and Freedom Corporation (Channel 5 news, the Gazette…) and their Corporate Overlords, despite Nazi-Klan related heavily subsidized “grass roots” organizations such as the TeaParty and Minutemen, with all that expensive and highly organized firepower, still failed to force their Racist Agenda on the states the same way they FAILED to do so on the Federal Government” Oooh, I bet that stings. When you call yourselves non-racist but want to profile people, most of whom are United States Citizens, based on their appearance of belonging to heavily stereotyped and demonized ethnic, social or religious groups?
