Michigan State University Professor, William Penn, Caught Throwing Race-Card (Brainwashing)

Published by Papa Giorgio

For those that do not know what SIXHIRB means, it is this: sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigoted. It is a way for the liberal to label and shut down freedom of thought, and deeper discussion on the issues.

Powerline has an excellent article to which I will add slightly to from a larger post of my own. First Powerline:

You may have seen the news of the professor who went off on a rant against Republicans [above] recently at Michigan State University, calling Republicans “dying white people who raped this country.” (…note that he threatens a student who apparently expressed some dissatisfaction with the instruction he was receiving.)  Ho hum, just another day at the university office, you might say.

But note that this instructor, the improbably named William Penn (that’s a suspiciously dead-white-guy-sounding name, isn’t it?), teaches creative writing, and not political science, history, sociology, or some other subject where political opinion might have a place.  According to updates from the Detroit Free Press, “professor” Penn has been suspended (with pay) for the rest of the semester, and his class reassigned to a new instructor.  Exactly why his political opinions were thought germane to a writing class is something I hope to have explained at some point.

It is worth pointing out two things: first, most of the time when you hear about these risible classroom outbursts, they occur in English, creative writing, or the subject areas that end in “studies,” and not in political science or history, which, while predominantly liberal in outlook, typically maintain some standards of rigor in the classroom.  But second, why is it you seldom or never hear of a similar classroom rant from the right?  When was the last time you saw a classroom videotape of a college professor going off on the Obama’s birth certificate and Muslim socialism?  Maybe such a tape exists and someone will show it to me, but the ratio will obviously be way out of balance.

Here are some of my thoughts on the matter (of “greedy” Mitt Romney) from my post refuting an atheist mantra… but deals a hearty blow to the Michigan Professor:

But there are other parts of this article that interest me. It is this: “both liberalism and high levels of education correlate with atheism,” the far left site, Daily Kos, agrees as well. Higher education leads to a higher pay as well… this will become important in dismantling a popular myth. This fact disproves many mantras and myths that the political Left. So lets delve into my thoughts on this. And this begins the complexity of what “family values” are, and it is a myriad of positions. Okay, let us divide political positions firstly:

A Gallup Poll shows that 40% of Republicans say they attend church weekly. Twenty-one percent say they attend nearly weekly or monthly, and 38% say they seldom or rarely go to church.

Compare that to only 27% of Democrats who say they go to church every week, 20% who say they go monthly and 52% of Democrats who say they seldom or never go to church. These polls also show that Democrats are less religious than the average American, and Republicans are more religious. Consider this: Almost one in five Democrats identify with no religious faith compared to only one in 10 Republicans who feel that way. (CNN)

Keep in mind that when “Republicans” are mentioned below, they have a higher percentage serious Christians. Here we go. During the 2000 elections (I know these stats are old, but all of this holds true today) an interesting stat caught my attention:

Once in awhile stats are done to see which part of the country (which states in fact) give more to charity per-capita than other states. Do you know which of the top twenty states gives the most to charity? You got it, Bush country! Every single one of the red states in that top-twenty are the middle-income fly-over states. Guess how many red-states got the lower twenty of giving? Two. Eighteen States that were in the lowest giving ratio to charity were Gore states. This is even more interesting with a few recent poles. Just under 66-percent republicans go to church one-to-two times a week. Just fewer than 66-percent democrats do not even go to church once a week. DRAT those nasty religious / conservatives! (From a very old post from my BlogSpot days)

This is important for the conversation. According to the very left leaning Daily Kos, most atheists vote Democrat now, harkening back to the 2000 election stats above, what does this mean? They are selfish? Stingy? You decide.

BIDEN (Politico):

When the Obama campaign released past tax returns for Biden in 2008, it was revealed that the Bidens donated just $3,690 to charity over 10 years — an average of $369 a year.

OBAMA (WaPo):

♦ 2005: $77,315 to charity out of income of $1.66 million (4.6 percent)

♦ 2004: $2,500 out of $207,647 (1.2 percent)

♦ 2003: $3,400 out of $238,327 (1.4 percent)

♦ 2002: $1,050 out of $259,394 (0.4 percent)

Charity a Sign of Character

From Gateway Pundit:

Obama charitable contributions

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign.

The Obamas increased the amount they gave to charity when their income rose in 2005 and 2006 after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book. The $137,622 they gave over those two years amounted to more than 5 percent of their $2.6 million income.

Romney charitable contributions

Liberal Professor Says Insulating Liberal Students To Opposing Views Hurts Them

A liberal professor interviewed in Indoctrinate U explains that protecting and teaching from one ideological viewpoint insulates students who are liberal to properly defend and coherently explain their views in the real world — outside the classroom. This excerpt is taken from two parts, Part 1 is here, and Part 2 is here.

`Conservative Black Chick` Lays Into Ebony Magazine ~ Rightly So

Published by Papa Giorgio

The whole post is well worth reading. But here is a large swath of it followed by a link so you can read the rest at Conservative Black Chick’s site:

Personal responsibility is for whites only, according to black apologists like MSNBC’s Toure Neblett, Oprah, Russell Simmons, and the mainstream media. In the wake of the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict in the death of Trayvon Martin, this low expectation message is pushed relentlessly–that all men (except blacks) are created equal with certain unalienable rights among them “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Show me where it says that in the Declaration of Independence or Constitution.

Earlier this week, Oprah Winfrey, Queen of talk, declared Martin’s murder “the same” as Emmett Till. Eye roll! In 1955, Till was savagely murdered by two racist white men in Mississippi because he was a 14 year old black boy and a white woman thought he whistled at her. Martin, a 17 year old black teen tragically contributed to his own death by starting a fight with Zimmerman. Not the same, not even respectfully close. Oprah should stick with pushing Hollywood stereotypes of blacks by promoting her new film “The Butler” and leave history to experts who know it.

But the victimhood indoctrination of blacks continued in earnest this week. After Oprah misrepresented civil rights history, EBONY magazine published a series of covers featuring black celebrities and their sons dressed in hoodies in honor of Trayvon. The headline read “JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON: EBONY Takes a Stand.” Editors wrote the “September cover pays tribute to the slain teen and the continuing fight for justice.” What justice exactly? Perpetuating the lie that Trayvon and his parents didn’t contribute to his death or the lie that black males aren’t the cause of their own demise? Why did twice divorced Tracy Martin leave Trayvon at his girlfriend’s home alone with a friend while he and his girlfriend went out?

Blacks represent 13% of the population yet 55% of all federal prisoners; a startling 54% of all murders committed with guns are murders of blacks, according to the Centers for Disease Control. From 1980 to 2008, The Justice Department found blacks were six times more likely than whites to be killed by a gun and seven times more likely to kill with a gun. A Children’s Defense Fund report found over 44,000 blacks have been killed by guns since 1979 more than the total number of blacks lynched from 1882-1968.

Trayvon wasn’t profiled because he was black but because he was walking around a neighborhood where he didn’t live and many burglaries had occurred. Did wearing a hoodie make him look more suspicious? Probably. Zimmerman didn’t know Martin was black when he first saw him from behind.

EBONY’s “hoodie covers” are an injustice, glorifying a thug culture, which can get young black men killed. I guess the next EBONY cover will feature black male celebrities and their sons wearing saggy pants, revealing their boxers. Black and white men for that matter can wear what they want but the only reason men dress in hoodies, chains and baggy pants is to look menacing. Except hip hop moguls, making millions off inciting violence, I don’t know any businessmen dressing like thugs, which brings us to CNN’s anchor Don Lemon.

Ever since Lemon had the audacity to state the obvious— the problems facing black America are caused by their OWN bad behavior, not white people, black liberals went apoplectic. After the George Zimmerman murder trial ended, Lemon felt he could unleash his frustrations about the state of black America. From use of the word “n****r” to blacks 73% out of wedlock birth, Lemon cited five things blacks should avoid.

Lemon who usually tows CNN’s liberal narrative was lambasted by MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor as a “a turncoat mofo” and called “a slave” by Russell Simmons for daring to jump out of the black box of denial. Simmons, who has made billions off of producing hip hop music, glorifying violence, sent Lemon a letter this week. During his recent show, Lemon said he wasn’t going to bother to respond to the letter it because he couldn’t take it seriously after Simmons called him “a slave on Twitter.”

Simmons declined Lemon’s invitation to appear on CNN to defend his actions but tweeted this:

“Russell Simmons @UncleRUSH Hey @DonLemonCNN — I want to formally apologize for calling you a “slave” – I just think you’re promoting the wrong message.”

But Lemon decided to address points in Simmons’ letter, including that Lemon was taking the conservative point of view in criticizing black men. Lemon said problems don’t have political affiliation, “attack the problem not the messenger.” Simmons letter was nonsense. He accused Lemon of blaming black teens “for their own demise” because they don’t speak “the King’s English or wear belts around their waistbands.” Well they should.

After giving Simmons a history lesson on the civil rights movement and African pride born out of the 1960s, Lemon asked, “Are you equating dressing like a criminal to African pride?”

Feelings Front-and-Center In Race-Based Claims

Published by Papa Giorgio

The Burning Truth writes well on the recent indecent, and brings us into Blaze’s commentary afterword:

…I’m no fan of Oprah, never have been.  Mostly because I know who she really is as a person.

I’ve watched her get away with misleading her audience on a whole host of issues, pretending to be outraged when guests turned out to be frauds, giving away free cars and saddling winners (who had not entered to win) with huge tax bills, refusing to marry because she didn’t want ‘a man’ to get her money, etc., etc.

Now this latest Oprah racism flap has awaken some to what really lies beneath the Harpo.  Others are ceasing upon the story to highlight that even rich black people face racism.  Of course, there is absolutely no evidence of racism in this story, but that hasn’t stopped the race-baiters (Oprah included) from fanning the flames of hate.

Before we continue, you should know that the person accused of being racist has vehemently denied Oprah’s accusations, and Oprah has apologized.

Certainly, it is possible for a wealthy, famous person to encounter racism.  My doubt in this story comes from a distinct lack of anything racial supposedly being said to or about Oprah.  So right of the get go, I’m assuming she’s race-baiting.

There is, however, a history of Oprah frivolously crying racism when she doesn’t get her way.  You see, Oprah is an elitist, and she’s never hid that from anyone.  Her fans were simply ignoring it.  She’s a wealthy, famous person who believes her turds don’t stink, and she thinks people should bend over backwards for her.  When they don’t … RACISM!

In 2005, Oprah also levied the charge of racism.  Why?  Because Hermes would let her in the store when they were closed for business.  How dare they not give her special treatment!

Hollywood.com:

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey believes she was refused entry to the Hermes shop in Paris, France because she is black, and she is planning to discuss the incident when her TV show resumes later this year.

…read more…

Here is the commentary by the Blaze’s:

In 2005, Oprah Winfrey accused luxury store Hermes in Paris of turning her away when she stopped in to purchase an expensive watch for singer Tina Turner. A spokesperson for the TV personality later referred to the incident as her “crash moment.”

“Crash” was a 2004 film that centered around the damaging effects of racism. The phrase “crash moment” refers to “situations where a party feels discriminated against on the basis of skin color,” CNN reported in 2005.

The claim is extremely similar to Oprah’s recent claim of discrimination she supposedly experienced at a high-end boutique in Zurich, Switzerland. In that case, she says a sales assistant refused to show her a $38,000 handbag because it was too expensive for her. The sales assistant and the store manager have both strongly denied the allegations.

As it turned out, Oprah and her team arrived at Hermes at around 6:45 p.m. on June 14, 2005, which was about 15 minutes after the store had closed and was setting up a private PR event. A store spokesperson said a security guard informed the star that the store was closed. Oprah was given a card and told to come back the next day.

Surveillance footage of the exchange backed up the store’s account. Oprah apparently wanted the store to allow her to make a quick purchase, but was denied.

The New York Post, citing various sources close to Oprah, reported she was turned away because the store had been “having a problem with North Africans lately.”

A Hermes spokesperson vehemently denied the allegation.

“There was never any discussion of North Africans,” she said. “The story is not true.”

However, Hermes still ended up apologizing to Winfrey for the misunderstanding.

Larry Elder Lays Down the Law on CNN ~ Kudos to Don Lemon! (Painless Risen `Magnifying Glass` Commentary at Top)

Published by Papa Giorgio

Via The Blaze:

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly—whose comments about the problems in the black community raised a firestorm this week—has at least one supporter.

And he’s African-American and a host for rival network CNN.

Don Lemon said Saturday on his “No Talking Points” segment that O’Reilly has “a point. In fact, he’s got more than a point…In my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough.”

[….]

Lemon then listed five essential reforms black men need to make:

  • pull up pants
  • drop the N-word
  • take care of their communities
  • finish high school
  • lower rate of children born out of wedlock.

The Profiteers of Hate = Hypocrites

Published by Papa Giorgio

From SoooperMexican:

I wrote this back in April of last year:

To be exact, the shameful truth is that 93% of African-American murders are committed by other African-Americans. That is breathtakingly awful when you consider how incensed the African-American community is about the Trayvon tragedy, no matter what you believe about Zimmerman’s guilt.

Let’s do the gruesome math, not out of morbidity, but because it manifests the incredible self-centered insanity of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

8,000-9,000 African-Americans are murdered each year.

93% of them by other African-Americans.

That’s 7,905 (from average)

That’s 21.65 murdered each day by other African-Americans.

And these racebaiting culture-hustling microphone-pimps only get riled up when a “White Hispanic” kills an African-American? It’s absolutely shameful.

To update, in the 503 days between Trayvon dying, and today’s verdict, 10,865 African Americans have been murdered by other African-Americans.

I was so shocked, I had to double check my numbers.

Here are the numbers of TOTAL dead between the Iraq and Afghan wars, combined:

Should I mention that under Obama, many feel race-relations have gotten worse… but worse than that, I hear people (media and Democrats) say all the time “if the ‘roles’ had been reversed in the Trayvon Martin case, the outcome would have been different.” This is provably false. First, let us see what the Prez said:

Top-Down

…And that all contributes I think to a sense that if a white male teen was involved in the same kind of scenario, that, from top to bottom, both the outcome and the aftermath might have been different.

I agree, the outcome would have been totally different, Eric Holder, Obama, the Justice Dept, the staff and reporters at MSNBC and CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the like, would have all ignored the case.

Wayne Allyn Root (via The Daily Caller) mentions this idea of “What if Trayvon Were White“

President Obama weighed in on a local court case — again. He asked, “what if Trayvon was white?” I believe the answer is clear.

If Trayvon was white, there would have been no national headlines. No one outside Sanford, Florida would have even heard about the case. A black George Zimmerman would never have been charged with a crime. And if there had been a trial, and a black Zimmerman was found “Not Guilty,” you can bet your last dollar that Obama’s Justice Department would not be considering “civil rights charges.” If they did, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would call it “double jeopardy” and “a modern day lynching of an innocent black man.”

The reality is that white Americans are killed by black Americans every day, but the national media never report it because they are afraid of being called “racist.” I can’t remember ever seeing or hearing race mentioned on the national news unless it is a white-on-black crime. And then, it is the centerpiece of the story, and always blamed on “racism.”

By the way, George Zimmerman isn’t white. He is Hispanic. But liberals never let facts get in the way of a good story. That’s why the media and the race baiters have coined a new phrase: “white Hispanic.”

The same fear of being called “racist” is exactly the reason the national media never reports black on black crime, which has become a national tragedy. Cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Obama’s Chicago are “killing fields” for young black men. They are more dangerous for black Americans than Afghanistan or Iraq. Why doesn’t the national media report on this tragedy? Why hasn’t Obama ever held a press conference to discuss that crisis? It is certainly much more devastating to the black community.

Could Obama name any of the black murder victims in Chicago that were shot by other blacks during the Zimmerman trial? Why are those young men that look like Obama’s son any less important? Is it because their deaths don’t stir up racial anger or resentment?

Here’s another difference — if the victim were white there would be no involvement by Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the Congressional Black Caucus, or tweets by liberal Hollywood celebrities, or protests across America. When was the last time any of the race baiters weighed in on a murder involving a white American? When was the last time a white person being murdered resulted in protests or rioting? Can you name one? Have white people ever protested en mass about a black accused criminal getting found “Not Guilty?” Did the OJ verdict cause rioting by white Americans?

Here is something else we know: If Trayvon had been white, the President of the United States would never have gotten involved in a local court case. Never.

…read more…

But we do have an example of a case that was exactly reversed:

Does the mainstream media in America have an agenda in the Trayvon Martin – George Zimmerman case? There was certainly a media influenced uproar surrounding the case; why didn’t they pay as much attention when a black neighborhood watchman shot and killed a white teen boy? This is the story that the mainstream media in America doesn’t want you to know about, the story of a black man who, when attacked by a 17 year old white boy, did what he felt like he had to do to survive and shot and killed the unarmed teen. Mr. Roderick Scott is the size of an NFL linebacker. Christopher Cervini was a skinny, 17-year old kid. Mr. Roderick Scott was found innocent for reason of self-defense. The must watch videos below tell the story, a sickening story of a mainstream media in America with an agenda, a story that they don’t want you to know about.

Not to mention that in Florida, the “stand your ground law” helps protect blacks from being victims of crime themselves:

African Americans benefit from Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law at a rate far out of proportion to their presence in the state’s population, despite an assertion by Attorney General Eric Holder that repealing “Stand Your Ground” would help African Americans.

Black Floridians have made about a third of the state’s total “Stand Your Ground” claims in homicide cases, a rate nearly double the black percentage of Florida’s population. The majority of those claims have been successful, a success rate that exceeds that for Florida whites.

Nonetheless, prominent African Americans including Holder and “Ebony and Ivory” singer Stevie Wonder, who has vowed not to perform in the Sunshine State until the law is revoked, have made “Stand Your Ground” a central part of the Trayvon Martin controversy.

Faux Racist ~ Media Distorts

Published by Papa Giorgio

It is worse than a liberal-progressive radical lying… the Media knew that she was separated from the Zimmerman portion of the protest and clearly on the New Black Panther side of the line… yet, they still painted her as with the Zimmerman crowd. Here is the early reporting from the blogs about it, via Gateway Pundit:

That looked incongruent with the other reports from the pro-Zimmerman side. The NY Daily News, based on reporting from The Houston Chronicle, identified her as Renee Vaughan:

One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, “We’re racist & proud.”

Austin resident Renee Vaughan echoed the sign’s ugly sentiments by yelling, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better because we’re white,” at the Martin group as they passed, according to the Chronicle.

The act to smear the Zimmerman supporters as racists with a leftist plant worked as the photo and comment was picked up and spread worldwide.

Scanning the internet we found that a “Renee Vaughn” from Austin worked for a far left environmental group, the Texas Campaign for the Environment.

Renee even has her photo linked to a far left environmental website.

Faux Racist Democrat Plant

  • Breitbart News: What does your sign mean?
  • Woman: This sign means that there are people here who are racist and apparently think that’s OK. I’m not one of them. I’m being sarcastic. 
  • Breitbart News: OK.
  • Fellow anti-Zimmerman Protestor: Yo. What she said.

Breitbart points out all the places where this person was touted as a genuine Zimmerman protestor:

…The Houston Chronicle’s Jayme Fraser wrote of the woman pictured above: “At one point, Renee Vaughan of Austin mocked protesters by chanting, “We’re racist. We’re proud. We’re better ’cause we’re white.” The language of the article was somewhat clumsy, allowing other media outlets to jump to the wrong conclusion.

The New York Daily News’ Philip Caulfield used the following caption for the above photo, from the Associated Press: “A George Zimmerman supporter holds a sign during a counter-demonstration of activist Quanell X’s group march in the River Oaks community in Houston on Sunday.” He also wrote: “One woman in the Zimmerman group held a sign that said, ‘We’re racist & proud,'” distorting the Chronicle story significantly.

The UK Daily Mail repeated the error, reporting that the sign was held by members of the pro-Zimmerman group in Houston, portraying it as a form of racist backlash against the New Black Panther Party march.

Democratic strategist Tara Dowdell then took to Fox News’ Hannity to repeat the false accusation, using the “racist and proud” sign story to push back against video evidence of intolerance at pro-Trayvon Martin rallies. 

Well, Sean, do some people show up at protests with their own agenda? Absolutely. That happens all the time. There was a pro-Zimmerman rally in Texas where a woman showed up with a sign that said “Racist and Proud.” And that was in the newspaper today. So certainly there are people who show up who behave badly at protests, and that’s not something you can really control for.

[….]

Gateway Pundit concludes she was a “leftist plant” who intended to trick or otherwise deceive the media. As the interview reveals, however, she was quite honest and open about her intentions and what her sign meant. She also located herself quite clearly on the Trayvon Martin/New Black Panther Party-supporting side of the demonstration (this video shows the two sides were clearly separated and distinguished from each other).

[WHICH THE MEDIA SHOULD HAVE PICKE-UP!]

The reason the media simply picked this up as true is that it has a narrative it believes to be true — that is, the Zimmerman case was over race… and Republicans are racist. Ergo, ad hoc — and all that jazz — the sign must be true… PLUS, it is in Texas! Double-Jeopardy, it must be true. Renee Vaughan has since apologized:
