Racist Message Placed in Easter Eggs

http://media.ruralking.com/image.php?size=product_view&sku=002810117


The following message was what many people Saturday morning found in their mailboxes in Pekin, Illinois. Missing,” reads the flyer. “A future for white children.” Under a picture of a blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian girl are the words: “Description: Red, blonde, or brown hair, fair skin with an innocent, inquisitive, intelligent, trusting personality. Corrupt politicians and anti-white special interest groups have stolen her future. There will be no future for her in the Third World America that our enemies are planning for all whites. Lets take back our country and make it great, decent and beautiful once again. For our children’s sake!”


The Thursday morning prior, Pekin Police had pulled over a vehicle on a traffic stop with four young adults inside. The officer noticed the eggs and flyers in the back seat at that time, Sanders said, but had not seen them planting any eggs. The officer did report the flyers to the statewide terrorism intelligence center, Sanders said.

The police department is currently in touch with the State’s Attorney’s office, Sanders said, to see if there are any charges they can file or any action they can take against the perpetrators.

I was reading the message board site where I found this news artcle. The sad part is several people in this forum found nothing wrong with this message. What people fail to realize a crime was committed, No not a hate crime, but postal fraud. It is illegal to place anything that is not postal approved in folks mailbox. So for many of those who found nothing wrong with sending"hateful" things to folks, then they must also find nothing wrong with breaking the postal codes...sad.

Change is Gonna Come


This is a video from one of my YouTube friends....I love it. The hypocrisy in this country is that we say we don't see color, but the reality is we do. We often talk about dating outside our race, but fail to understand that the word "Race" is a deceptive thing. We want to tell folks how much "mixture" we have(black, white, hispanic, and the list goes on), but we claim to be only ONE of these things when we apply for jobs, do the census, or get student loans.

America, we have a President that embodies all the diversity this country offers. America recognizes him as a black President by virtue of his skin tone, but his kids recognize him only as daddy. Smiley and her husband constantly get attack on YouTube, but not by people who show their face, but by "anonymous" folks who want to hide behind words....like folks who HID behind SHEETS.

I date for LOVE...and for someone who is going to treat me right. I brought up my kids to do the same. I live in a 97% white area. My kids went to school in this area. My first love is for the black man. That is my preference, however I have learned that I am not going to dismiss someone who treats me right for a "preference."

Obama Waffles-Racism at Its Best

Family Research Council, the Republican Party's top emissaries have come in past years to bow before some 2000 right-wing foot-soldiers and the leaders who command them. However, this year's Value Voter Summit, a bit light on GOP dignitaries, made less news in its speaker line-up than it did for the sale of a particular brand of breakfast food: Obama Waffles.




I think this stems back from a comment made by Obama (while he was on his campaign trail in April), where a press person asked him a question (he was eating waffles at the Glider diner) and he answered back by saying, " “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?



Eating Waffle at the Glider Diner-Check out his fingers (I think that
was for the reporter).

Orlando's AMA apologizes for Racist Past

hospitals

This apology might come a bit too late for Dr. Alfred L. Bookhardt. The 79 year old doctor began his career as a physician in the 1960s, when blacks were barred from practicing at Orlando hospitals or joining the American Medical Association.

The association Thursday apologized on its Web site for "its past history of racial inequality toward African-American physicians, and shares its current efforts to increase the ranks of minority physicians and their participation in the AMA."


James R. Smith opened the first maternity hospital for black women in the early 1950s so their babies could be born with dignity and in sanitary conditions, Thompson said.

Blacks who underwent surgery in Orlando hospitals were sent to private homes to recover until 1959, when the Dr. P. Phillips Hospital for Coloreds was opened. Bookhardt joined the hospital in the mid-1960s.

A noose was found in Sumner Colorado at Gallatin High School . The noose was created out of paper towels inside a student restroom at Gallatin High School. A threatening message about a black staff member was also scrawled on the walls.

Paper towels found in the shape of a noose in a student restroom

Officials said they're taking the matter issue seriously and they plan to find out who did this and why. The incident comes on the heels of a similar controversy at PoplarGrove Middle School in Williamson County. In this case the parents were upset because they were not ot immediately informed about a noose found hanging in a student restroom.

FBI report on Hate Crimes

The image “http://www.whereistheoutrage.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/fbi-seal-plaque-m.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Just three days after a Washington, D.C., march calling for the U.S. Justice Department to do more in addressing hate crimes and racial injustice in America, the FBI on Monday released a report showing that hate crime incidents rose nearly 8 percent last year.

More than half of those crimes were motivated by racial prejudice, the report stated.

Police across the nation reported 7,722 criminal incidents in 2006 targeting victims or property as a result of bias against a race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin or physical or mental disability. That was up 7.8 percent from 7,163 incidents reported in 2005.

We need to stop the madness. We have to live on this earth together. You ever put toddlers in a sandbox, all ethinic groups, shapes, sizes, with lots of toys. What do they do? They play. If they have fights, it is about possession. Not about skin color, eye color, religious affliation, political affliation, ect.

Let the madness stop.
