This one's for everybody at Lem's - Trooper, Cody, Shouting Thomas, etc. - who love to deny they've hidden their sheets, while still talking that KKK shit. They know I'm just making shit up because - let's face it - we black people just love to lie on whitey:

"A suburban Detroit police officer admitted he asked a mentally ill black man to sing and dance and video recorded the incident.

Videos and photos with degrading portrayals of black men were submitted earlier this month to the blog, Motor City Muckraker, purportedly from officers who disseminated them to friends and colleagues in the upper class, majority-white Michigan suburb of Grosse Pointe Park. One video portrayed a voice alleged to be an officer asking black men to do humiliating tasks, including “dance like a chimp.” In another incident, an officer allegedly texted a photo of a black man in the back of his trailer with the text, “Gotta love the coloreds.” The journalist, Steve Neavling, told the Huffington Post that he has more than a dozen videos shot by officers, but has not shared most of them because of their “humiliating nature.”

Why not show 'em? Is a "upper class, majority-white" audience too sensitive to know the truth, of who they are, and what they contribute to and support? We are talking about "officers" - plural - making and sending these to "friends and colleagues":

 I mean, every one of us "coloreds" the overseers "shoot" eventually becomes known to blacks.

Because they've, always, been our real family and friends.

Maybe whites still don't think blacks form families (not like they do anyway) because I never understand how anybody white can miss that obvious connection.

Oh wait - yes I can - I just remembered:

Whites tell themselves being black is like being gay,...

I don't know what I was thinking, America. 

The liberals must've got to me.

Maybe - if we tone down the rhetoric - then, together, we can once again re-establish that "common ground" we used to have, regarding the issue of race, in America. I'll go first:

"A convenience store owner in Miami Gardens, Fla., installed 16 cameras in his Quickstop a year ago. The aim was not to surveil shoppers, but rather the police repeatedly harassing the store’s black workers.

One employee, 28-year-old Earl Sampson, has been stopped by cops 258 times in four years, searched more than 100 times and arrested 56 times. The most serious offense Sampson has ever been found to have committed throughout all these stops was low-level marijuana possession. He has even been stopped dozens of times by cops for 'trespassing' in the store where he works."

And they got it on tape:

So - we can agree "things are improving" now - yes?

 

"There are reasons why films of this vein are more readily produced than others. Both economic and social values influence the resurrection of historical accounts like the Amistad while Gabriel Prosser, Harriet Tubman and Charles Deslondes suffocate in obscurity.

One thought is that white audiences should never be left feeling guilty about their ancestors’ sins. Many can walk out of the theater and say to themselves: 'I would’ve been more like Brad Pitt if I was alive during Slavery,' even though residue of the system still permeates around them today — and one could argue that there’s a shortage of mass white outrage over the fact.

In essence, the Prossers and Tubmans of our past deny Hollywood this safety net. They resisted oppression and sacrificed their lives to liberate others.

But more importantly, they don’t leave much room for white saviors. They are the black Bravehearts. And for many of us, we hope to see the day when they’re finally seen in full heroic form on the big screen."

“Ideally, the court would ... recognize that, in an America in which an increasing number of citizens identify with no religion, even nonsectarian, lowest-common-denominator prayers can exclude and marginalize nonbelievers. Obviously a Jew who goes to a town meeting to petition for a permit will be made uncomfortable when he is urged to join in a prayer to 'our Lord Jesus.' But an atheist in the same position will be equally offended by a request that he join in a prayer to a generic God.”

NewAge is Witches - we're told acting against them is bad.

But find bugs in Healthcare.gov and We Need a Witch Hunt.

Witch means - since we're including witches - that could just be one of their witchy spells, turning everything every witch-way, so we'll eventually excuse ourselves to confuse ourselves (even further) on what's right or wrong or even true.

Witchever it is, it's working pretty well so far,...
