The Black Male: Left And Right!

A resident hands a rose to a St. Louis County deputy.

Feel free to share this.

This is a dedication to Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Darrien Hunt, Jonathon Crawford, Renisha McBride, Jordan Davis, Monica Quan, Keith Lawerence, Trayvon Martin, Christopher Lane and every other nameless victim of gun violence. May you all rest in peace.

10. You can't play cops and robbers anymore. The police might actually mistaken you for a robber.

9. If a White person owns a firearm, it's protection. If a Black person owns a firearm, they're considered a criminal.

8. If you're a Black male in a majority White area, make sure you have that music turned down, obey all motorist signs and observations. Make sure all your vehicle lights working. Let's not have a noisy muffler or engine. Have a White friend and your seat belt on. Don't argue with the law. Get their badge or unit vehicle number if you're feeling harassed by the law. But if you want to be hard and get into a situation, the law would love to find a reason to pull you over.

7. Just walk with your hands out. Obviously an officer can see that you're unarmed. The law will not shoot you mistaken you having a gun. A wallet, keys, cell phone, and even a book could be a weapon and the cop will probably shot first question last.

6. Keep them pictures private. If the victim of a shooting is a Black person, expect the junk food media to look at Facebook, Twitter, blogs and social networks to find "incriminating" evidence to prove that the victim deserved his fate. Obviously, smoking weed, pulling a gun out or wearing hip-hop apparel is a giveaway for the junk food media to exploit. They don't care about the White man who holds his gun in the presence of children. They don't care about the White woman blowing in the wind. They don't care about the White man who shoplifts gas or cigarettes from a convenience store. 

5. Blacks must restrain themselves from knocking a bigot out. This is a free country. I understand that White conservatives are racist. They agitate on radio, the blogs and the social networks. I get angry too. But it's not worth killing them. You aid and abet their description of Black males being "THUGS" or "NIGGERS".

4. Voting is important. You notice that most Whites disapprove of the president's job. A majority of the problems stem from the junk food media's anything and everything about President Barack Obama. The conservatives can spin this narrative about the junk food media being in the tank for the president all day and night. But how come the Republicans won control of Congress? The junk food media gave Republicans a pass on their government shut down, their refusal to pass gun control legislation despite a major event such as Sandy Hook. The Republicans obviously want Blacks to have firearms. They want Blacks to kill each other and stroke more fear into White people.

3. Black men can't catch a break, regardless of the situation. Sometimes it's hard living in a country where you're looked upon as a criminal. It's obvious, that women are attracted to Black men because of our packages below. No question, that's probably a benefit in a way. But with that package comes responsibilities that some Black men fail at doing. We become unwed parents. We are the number one race when it comes to the rise of sexuality transmitted diseases being spread. Black men lead in the highest rate of heart disease. The law is more cruel to us because of the perception of us being criminals. The high incarceration rate among Black males is so high it's become bait for the condescending conservative agitators like Mr. 9/11 himself Rudy Giuliani to exploit.

2. Barack Obama is the first Black president. Black America already knew that the moment he said something about race, the conservative agitators will be trying to exploit it. Henry "Skip" Gates, Trayvon Martin and now Michael Brown have became Barack Obama's noose. The racist right hung it around the neck and let him hang from the tree. What the president said was truthful. The anger of the Black community goes beyond Michael Brown, its a global issue. Police profiling isn't helpful to the safety of Blacks and law enforcement. The freedom of speech allowed the musicians in the hip-hop industry share their "fantasies" of being dope boys and cop killers. The music industry exploits the Black male for his talents as singers and entertainers. How many times has a rapper mentioned guns? Anytime a rapper mentions guns, expect a conservative agitator to attack the rapper and President Barack Obama. Now compare that to White musicians like Ted Nugent who embraces guns and violence. Not one peep from the agitators. The police often single out the hip-hop music for the rise in violence. The police often look at hip-hop music as a tool towards crime.

1. There's no God. If there's a God, he wouldn't allow these people to make us look bad.

Cleveland Police's Slugs Kills Teen Playing With Fake Gun!

Cleveland police kill a teen who was playing legally with an airsoft pellet gun.

And the beat goes on!

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Tamir Rice.

As the nation watches the outcome of Ferguson, the Cleveland Police are under fire for shooting a juvenile who was playing with an Airsoft pellet gun.

A White man calls the dispatch on a teen playing with a gun. The officers respond with deadly response.

The law reports that the teen wasn't pointing the weapon at the officers.

There will be a federal investigation and disciplinary action to the first year officer and a veteran officer. They are on administrated leave after this. The officers were called to West Boulevard on reports of a child playing with a gun. Some have also claimed that the firearm could be "fake". The law responded accordingly. The officers claimed that they ordered the teen to drop the weapon. According to the officers they saw the teen reach into his waist and the officer (first year) fired two slugs into the child.
Cleveland police facing a huge controversy after a child was killed.
Tamir E. Rice was rushed to the local hospital died in surgery.

Here's what happens when police officers shoot unarmed or mistaken as suspects. If they're Black shooting victims by law enforcement, the media releases the name. Then of course, the outrage from the political arm chair assholes. Then the racial extremists who have the audacity to label the dead a "thug" or a "nigger".

Can't wait to hear what the conservative agitators say about this situation!

Fred 101, are you going to claim that the boy was assaulting an officer?

Listen carefully, Fred 101, The teen didn't point the firearm or made any menacing moves toward the officers.

I mean they shot the teen at a distance. He probably didn't even know how serious the police were.

I am guessing you're taking your talking points from one of those shitholes.

Anyway the racist right will raise the questions about the teen having a criminal record. They can't go a day without searching the social networks for "damning evidence".

With all these relaxed gun laws, the boy was clearly in legal right to have a BB gun. I mean it wasn't near a school zone. Just a nice Saturday afternoon when this happened.

I am surprised that the law was even called. The teen didn't attack anyone with the firearm. He was on a swing. Again he did not point a firearm at the law.
Looks real.
This will be a continuing story here on Journal de la Reyna.

Similar incident happened in August when John Crawford was killed by Beavercreek officers. The officers responded to a man who carrying a firearm inside a Walmart. He was killed by Officer Sean Williams. The video shows that the officer shot Crawford from a distance while he was holding an airsoft pellet gun. He was on the phone at the time of this shooting.

Myles Munroe Passes Away!

Megachurch pastor died in tragic plane crash in The Bahamas.

Bahamian mega pastor, his wife, and his entourage died in a plane crash in the Bahamas over the weekend. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

Myles Munroe was the president and founder of the Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI) and Myles Munroe International (MMI), a Christian growth and resource center that includes leadership training institutes, a missions agency, a publishing company, a television network, radio and Web communications, and a church community. He was chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the International Third World Leaders Association and president of the International Leadership Training Institute. He was the author of 69 books and was a motivational speaker.



CNN reports that the aircraft hit a crane at the Freeport Ship Yard and crashed into a nearby "junk site," police said.

No U.S. agencies are involved, and the Royal Bahamas Police Force is handling the investigation, a police spokesman said.

Police released the names of five victims Monday that includes Myles Munroe and his wife Ruth.
Myles Munroe was the senior pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship, that group's website says. Ruth served as co-pastor.

The two were friends of Andrew Young, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who was also scheduled to arrive in Freeport.

"Ambassador Young expresses his deep sadness over the tragic death of his friends Dr. Myles and Mrs. Ruth Munroe. He offers condolences to the Munroe family and the families of the other souls who lost their lives as a result of this shocking plane crash," the Andrew Young Foundation said in a statement.

Young is scheduled to speak at a conference starting Monday in Freeport.

The Global Leadership Forum will continue this week, according to Munroe's organization.

"On behalf of Myles Munroe International and ITWLA. We would like to inform you that the Global Leadership Forum will continue," Myles Munroe International posted on its Facebook page. "This is what Dr. Munroe would have wanted."

The other identified victims are Stanley Jerome Thurston, Richard Howard Pinder and Frankhan Demeyer Cooper, all residents of the Bahamas.

The ITWLA is International Third World Leaders Association, which was founded by Munroe.

MIchael Brown Funeral!


The funeral of Michael Brown was today. Engaged in this funeral is his family, his friends and the junk food media. They are covering the funeral live and of course for some networks, it's Benghazi or the White man getting attacked by a Black person. But for the racist right, it's another dead NIGGER.

As his family prays for peace, the young man is being laid to rest. After two weeks of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

Filmmaker Spike Lee, Jesse Jackson and numerous others were in attendance.

Brown's funeral was hosted at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church, in St. Louis on Monday, August 25 at 10:00 a.m. Brown will be interred at St. Peter's Cemetery in St. Louis County.

The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity offered to pay the entire costs for the memorial and funeral services.

At a rally held the day before, Brown's family asked that supporters suspend their protests for one day out of respect for the funeral proceedings. "All I want tomorrow is peace while we lay our son to rest. Please, that's all I ask," Brown's father said.

Three White House officials attended Brown's funeral, including Broderick Johnson, head of the White House's "My Brother's Keeper Task Force"; Marlon Marshall, who attended high school with Brown's mother; and Heather Foster, who works in the Office of Public Engagement.
Michael Brown, Sr. mourns the death of his son.
The service was attended by thousands of people, including 2,500 filling the sanctuary, and others in an overflow auditorium which was also full. An estimated 2,000 additional people were on church property for the funeral. Al Sharpton, delivered one of two eulogies for Brown.

Eric Davis, one of Brown's cousins, said at the funeral, “[s]how up at the voting booths. Let your voices be heard, and let everyone know that we have had enough of all of this.”

The hate continues.
The racist right continues to attack Brown. Today's racist right radio programs had that Black extremist asshole Jesse Lee Peterson run his mouth. He got the nerve to say that Brown was a thug and the Black people were savages.

That annoying conservative agitator and Loudmouth Bill Cunningham had this Black extremist on their programs to promote this extremist.

Michael Brown, Sr. and  Lesley McSpadden urged the junk food media to go beyond the pale. For once they wanted a bit of peace and quiet as they bury their son.

As soon as I get the video of that Black extremist, I will post it online for you to listen.

More developments continue on the situation in Ferguson.

20 Years Ago: The OJ Simpson Murder Case!

The "Trial of The Century". 20 years ago marks the OJ Simpson murder trial.

Man it's been that long!

I remember I was in the my high school classroom back in the Spring of 1994 when the OJ Simpson trial was going on.

Everyone was glued to the public courtroom trial of Orenthal James Simpson. He was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.

This trial was so polarizing and divided people among racial lines. Simpson was found not guilty in the murder but liable for their deaths. For about nearly 12 years, OJ Simpson was a free man. But his misfortunes came to court yet again when he was accused of robbing a group of men in Las Vegas.

He was sentenced to 9 to 33 years in the iron college. He is currently working on a new trial.

Many Americans believe that Simpson got away with murder. Many Black people were happy about the decision.

Did you happen to see the infamous white Ford Bronco chase on a Friday night in June of 1994?

The Bronco permanently entered American popular culture on June 17, 1994, when a white 1992 model owned and driven by Al Cowlings with O. J. Simpson, who was wanted for the murders of his ex-wife and her friend, attempted to elude the Los Angeles Police Department in a low-speed chase.

I bet that over millions of people were glued to their televisions with some jumping in the street cheering him on. It would be one of the most memorable moments in my young life.
Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman both were murdered by a butcher knife.
Watching a former football star and part time actor flee the Los Angeles Police with a gun to his head.

The O. J. Simpson murder case (officially the People of the State of California vs. Orenthal James Simpson) was a criminal trial held at the Superior Court in Los Angeles County, California, that spanned from the jury being sworn in on November 2, 1994, to opening statements on January 24, 1995, to a verdict on October 3, 1995.

The former professional football star and actor O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder after the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a waiter, Ronald Lyle Goldman, in June 1994. The case has been described as the most publicized criminal trial in American history.

Simpson was acquitted after a trial that lasted more than eight months.

Simpson hired a high-profile defense team, initially led by Robert Shapiro and subsequently led by Johnnie Cochran, and which also included: F. Lee Bailey, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, Gerald Uelmen (the dean of law at Santa Clara University), Robert Blasier, and Carl E. Douglas, with two more attorneys specializing in DNA evidence: Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld. Los Angeles County believed it had a solid prosecution case, but Cochran was able to persuade the jurors that there was reasonable doubt about the DNA evidence (a relatively new form of evidence in trials at the time)– including that the blood-sample evidence had allegedly been mishandled by lab scientists and technicians – and about the circumstances surrounding other exhibits.

Cochran and the defense team also alleged other misconduct by the Los Angeles Police Department. Simpson's celebrity and the lengthy televised trial riveted national attention on the so-called "Trial of the Century". By the end of the criminal trial, national surveys showed dramatic differences in the assessment of Simpson's guilt between most black and white Americans.

Later, both the Brown and Goldman families sued Simpson for damages in a civil trial that came to a total of $40 million. On February 6, 1997, a jury unanimously found there was a preponderance of evidence to hold Simpson liable for damages in the wrongful death of Goldman and battery of Brown.

The Los Angeles court upheld a renewal of the civil judgment against him.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the families of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Gnat Infestation!

Critics are like gnats. They're pest and its up to us to rid ourselves of them.

One of the best things in my opinion is to read feedback from the good readers of Journal de la Reyna.

Me and S. Baldwin work hard to keep this blog updated and do appreciate everyone who is reading.

I hope we build more readers and followers of this blog. I appreciate all the support from the new and even old followers of Journal de la Reyna.

Often times I read some of the comments in our blog. Let me say this with no remorse: HATERS ARE GOING TO HATE!

Get another bag, cause its another dose of word vomit sponsored by random losers who were "offended" by our posts.



john phillips said...
So, a reporter wants to know if the taxpayers are footing the bill for Michelle Obama's party, and you, instead of worrying about the taxpayers, attack the reporter and the right as racists. Not a single part of that question was remotely akin to a race question, yet you go after the people who demand some form of transparency and accountability by using insults and the race card. What a joke and clearly biased loser you are.
Mike said...
Indeed racist and ignorant. Could you explain how it's uniquely right wing? Plenty of white liberals think the same thing. It was the progressives that ushered in Jim Crow under Wilson. White supremacy transcends ideology.
Anonymous said...
Racist right. Hahaha you're silly and have to blame someone else for your own thoughts. You're coo coo. Hee hee YOU are the racist you silly goose. Silly silly silly.
It's a part of generating a mainstream buzz.

My feelings aren't hurt by some anonymous loser online. Your comments are not going to stop me from speaking my mind. In fact, it may inspire me to do more.

I practically beg for the attention. After all, I write often topics that are inspirational and at times it could be considered controversial. I don't deny that. After all I come up with some of the most catchiest titles to the article. I sometimes visit blogs and websites to obtain stories that might appeal to our readers. I am guilty for doing so. And at best, I want to give an honest opinion about what's going on in my community, the government and the junk food media.

I said no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to read our blog.

Why would you waste your time attacking us?

Did we strike a nerve?

Are we telling something about yourself?

Are you too afraid to look into the mirror and see for yourself that you (and only you) would be the true racist?

Cause I can tell you're the racist. You left a comment on an article that didn't sit well with you!

You're free to comment at anytime. But you think we should read your word vomit?
An example of an angry White man.
Nope. We're not in the business of reading your word vomit. Practically, deleting it will be the best satisfaction. Having you loose your marbles over your comments being scratched from the blog is the perfect way to keep a lunatic like you going. Cause you're going to rile yourself up over how we "silenced" you because we didn't want to read your condescending asinine comments.

We understand.

Conservatives hate being called racist.
Writing all sorts of ills about America but yet sit on the sidelines watching others do their dirty work.
Unfortunately, you're not helping yourselves by acting like a bunch of dummies. Who continues to float around those stupid racist emails? Who continues to promote crime in urban areas? Who claims that it's "those Black folk" who are on food stamps and entitlements? And who keeps on claiming a legacy that your party failed to take part in. I mean you can run your mouths claiming Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being a Republican but in the same breath call him a "socialist" like you did President Barack Obama.

Never enough outrage from the angry White man.
Sometimes in my mindset, by calling the president a "socialist" its a newer way of saying NIGGER without mentioning the word. Conservative strategists know how to get the ball running on labeling an opponent "the other". That's why you have a network that runs 24/7 Republican bullcrap!

Seriously, conservatives believe that being called racist is the attempt by the left to silence them from speaking the "facts" about "us Black folk" stealing from "da White man".

Conservatives believe racism solely lies within the Democratic Party. They often accuse Barack Obama (the nation's first Black president), Michelle Obama (First Lady of The United States), Al Sharpton (Rev. Perm), Jesse Jackson (Cut His Nuts Off Jackson) and Eric Holder (U.S. Attorney General) as the reasons for racism in America.


If you didn't know, our country's demographics have shifted again. For the first time since 2012, a child birth per year will be majority interracial. So in other words, this country is going to be a whole lot browner.
Playing on the sorrows of the poor and ignorant  to show sympathy. And still count the millions you reek in.
Now of course, the Republican Party itself. The party has no real accomplishments in courting minorities.

Sure they have Tim Scott, Tom Cole, Raul Labrador, Suzanna Martinez, Nikki Haley, Bobby Jindal, Stallmigos Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in the fold, but the party itself is mostly White, old, rigid and too conservative, even in Saint Reagan standards.

The party must purge itself of the hateful rhetoric of those in the junk food media.

The party must appeal to a broad coalition of young minds who are willing to follow the principles of limited government, free enterprise, strong religion and a sense of pride for America.

What the party must do is motivate itself back to the center-right.

What I've said before and I will stick to it: The Republican Party has no place for me and others of color.

The party isn't racist. But there are a sure lot of White folks in the party that tarnish the image and give the left strong convictions. Conservatives are single minded voters who voice their opinions through the bullhorn or the bullet.

They are often the people who have strong bigotry towards someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, economic and political standings.

At best, the poor and ignorant (which are those who likely didn't go to college) often seek advice from millionaires who's sole purpose in life is to keep us divided.

The poor and ignorant will become bitter over other's having the advantages they never could achieve. They believe that those who get from the "gubmint" are the leeches of society.

In their minds, if you don't support their views, you're an enemy.

Too often this stuff happens within the Tea Party Movement and those who vote solely Republican.

If you continue to promote this type of nonsense in the coming years, I promise you that Republicans are doomed to repeating itself in the 2016 presidential elections.
These type of conservatives represent the White, old, rigid, bigoted and too extreme side of the Republican Party. 
Perennial losers Mitt Romney and John McCain learned that you can't talk shit and expect to win in a landslide.

So to those who criticized us for being "racists": Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

For you see, we don't have to prove to anyone about our feelings towards people of color. Why should we continue on and on about what we do outside of this blog?

You don't know us personally.

So keep on typing your word vomit, anonymous users! You're not hurt me or S. Baldwin.

You are hurting the Republican Party. And believe me, they do a fine job of hurting themselves.

White Extremist Featured On Nightline!

Matt Heimbach (center) is the clean cut professional bigot. He is plotting a 2014 recruitment of young Whites who are fed up with the ongoing attacks on his race. Heimbach is one of the most dangerous figures in the White Extremist movement according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Bryon Pitts interviews Matt Heimbach, the most notorious white extremist. The professional bigot makes his national rounds on ABC.

He's channeling the former Ku Klux Klan leaders David Duke and Don Black. He is using his professional skills as a marketer and motivator to inspire hate.

He's doing more than passing out flyers and shouting at his fellow Americans. He's recruiting young ignorance with these White Student Unions.

He's not ashamed of promoting his views and even went to the country's most diverse city to interact with those he hate. He would travel to diverse cities like New York and Chicago to inspire young Whites to join his clique.

Heimbach doesn't mind interacting with Black people. However, it's mildly cordial but still confrontational.

He's doing a quite remarkable approach at recruiting. ABC News just gave him a path to promote himself and his allies. A man who is not ashamed of heritage or his hatred of Blacks, Jews and gays.

Heimbach and Thomas Buhls, his co-founder created the White Student Union. They are plotting a nationwide tour across the South and many conservative states. They want to achieve the goal of being an effective "White nationalist group!"

They're even trying to seek recruitment into the 2014 CPAC Convention.

Byron Pitts follows Heimbach to Chicago and Indianapolis to met Dawah Yisrael and Mmoja Ajabu, two of the most dangerous Black separatists in the nation.

Black Republicans: Obama Ain't Done Nothing For "YOU BLACK FOLK!"

Condescending Black Republicans bemoan about "us Black folk" who refuse to join the party that embraces racism. I mean we have the first Black president and all of sudden, we see more and more extremism coming from every element of society since President Barack Obama took oath in 2009.

Rest in peace, Nelson Mandela. You helped end apartheid

President Barack Obama addressed the nation about the loss of such a great leader.

Over and over again, the racist right would bemoan the Black community about how life has became so terrible since Barack Obama became president in 2009. They seem to have a selective memory when it comes to who does nothing for the Black community.

One breathe Black Republicans say that Blacks lives are terrible because of unemployment, "gubmint" assistance, drugs, out-of-wedlock children, and gun violence.

In the second breathe the Black Republicans say that racial profiling helps "us Black folk". They believe the gun control (for Whites) is an infringement of the Second Amendment rights. Those Black Republicans say that the "knockout game" was a creation of Obama and Trayvon Martin.

Black Republicans want "us Black folk" to bow down to the Republicans. They believe they're the only ones who could do better for the Black community.

I understand that the Republicans are so pissed that over 90% of the African American vote went strictly to Barack Obama during his 2008 and 2012 runs, respectively. They feel that its "racist" for Blacks to vote for the candidate who can appeal to their needs.

I mean those White Democrats who won the presidency (Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton) won over 90% of the Black vote. So what?

But those Black Republicans who grumble about their voices not being heard and "US PLANTATION NIGGERS" think of these guys as "HOUSE NIGGERS".

Of course, we give "you Black folk" attention. Don't you appear on CNN, Obama News and Loserville?

Don't you have the freedom of speech to [promote] your condescending rhetoric? How many times have you complained about how unemployment under Obama is way too high?

So high, I could see the water levels after the levees broke during Hurricane Katrina.

Don't you have the right to not support public schools because they indoctrinate children to be Obamabots?

The Black Republicans believe "slavery" exists in modern day society.

This week they have a member of the Republican National Committee post an "cringe-worthy" tweet based off the famous Civil Rights icon who refused to give up her seat.



Tell me in the last 70 years since we had 13 presidents, what have they've done for the Black community?

One president managed to integrate the military. One managed to create the New Deal, which helped the United States bounce out of a horrible depression. On top of that Blacks shifted in the 1940s to the Democrats because of this president's policies. I think that was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

One president's executive order forced the ending of segregation of government workers. I think that was Harry Truman.

One president ordered the Arkansas National Guard to help nine Black students go to Little Rock Central High School after the Supreme Court ordered desegregation of public schools. I think that was Dwight Eisenhower.

One president championed for the ending of Jim Crow in the South. He also maintain contact with that rabble rouser who would later become the voice of the Civil Rights Movement. He would champion for the integration of the public universities. One Black man had armed guards escort him to the University of Mississippi. He didn't make it through a full term to get the Civil Rights Act passed. I think that was John F. Kennedy.

I can tell you during the 1960s since Kennedy was killed, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson was there to finish up the work. During the "long hot summer", he advocated for passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. He nominated Thurgood Marshall as the first Black Supreme Court justice.

I can say that Richard Nixon wasn't much of supporter of Civil Rights. Gerald Ford didn't get much time in office. Jimmy Carter did much for the Black community and it cost him the election. Despite high gas prices and Iran holding Americans hostage, Carter did something to help Black folks.

I can remember that growing up in the Ronald Reagan era where Blacks were getting lockup for drugs.

George Bush and son George W. really screwed up during their time in the White House. From the LA Riots to Hurricane Katrina, there's not much successes from these two. I mean they've put a lot of Black folk in government positions, but they weren't there for the whole ordeal. I mean Black Republican Colin Powell went and endorse Barack Obama twice.

I can say that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are the only two presidents who managed to succeed despite a Republican opposition that spends its course of time complaining about how Blacks lives not being better.

SCOTUS Slaps Down Conservative College's Lawsuit!

Liberty University seal.png
Liberty University, a conservative Christian university was denied a venue at the Supreme Court.

The country's most conservatively Christian university has been handed a defeat.

The Associated Press reports The Supreme Court has turned away a Christian university's attempt to overturn a key part of the Obama administration's health care law.

The justices did not comment Monday in leaving in place a federal appeals court ruling dismissing Liberty University's lawsuit.
Affirmative Action case is on the docket. 
Liberty made several arguments in challenging the portion of the health care law that requires most employers to provide health insurance to their workers or pay a fine. The 4th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Richmond, Va., rejected those claims.

The Supreme Court separately is considering whether for-profit corporations can mount religious objections to the law's requirement to include birth control among preventive health benefits.

The case is Liberty University v. Lew, 13-306

Jerry Falwell, the late founder of the university.
The Jerry Falwell founded institution is still working in them "good ole days" of segregation.

The Republican faithful flock to the college to deliver their commencement speeches and presidential ambitions. Many have thanked the holier than thou Jerry Falwell on christening their legacies.

It was the tool to victory during the 1970s to 1990s. You had to speak at Liberty University if you're seeking the Republican nomination. Nowadays, you can't get a boost in credibility if you're too conservative.

Perennial loser Mitt Romney found out the hard way about carrying his ass to the right.

Liberty University is a private, Christian university located in Lynchburg, Virginia. It is the largest Evangelical Christian university in the world, the nation's largest private nonprofit university and 7th largest four-year university, and the largest university in Virginia.

The university was founded as Lynchburg Baptist College in 1971 by right wing bigot Jerry Falwell.

Liberty University describes itself as a Christian academic community. Its stated mission and aims emphasize both the intellectual and spiritual development of the institution's students.

Students are held to The Liberty Way, a strict morality code of behavioral conduct.

"Birther" Black Preacher Still Attacking Obama!

Birther Black preacher is back attacking Obama. He claims that the DC crazed driver was Obama's baby mama!

The infamous ATLAH Worldwide preacher is back in the saddle. He's making another video and he's still attacking President Barack Obama.

In 2008, the fool called President Barack Obama the "long legged mack daddy" and was a featured guest on That Guy Who Helped Obama & Alan Colmes' program in 2008.

He was even chastised by many in the Black community as being a "fringe extremist".

James David Manning is back again on his birther radio show accusing the president of having an affair with the woman who led the DC police on a chase throughout the U.S. Capitol.

The U.S. Capitol police ended up shooting and killing Miriam Carey, a 34 year old woman from Connecticut. She was with her daughter at the time of this event. The police concluded that Carey has mental issues and believed that President Barack Obama was stalking her in her home. Some believed that the woman claimed Obama father her child.

She was treated for depression.

The right wing pastor claims that the president ordered a "hit" on Carey.

On his radio show The Manning Report, Manning called for a paternity test of Carey’s fifteen-month-old daughter, who was in the car with Carey when she led police on a chase that ended in gunfire on the Capitol steps.

The theory, which appears to have originated with a Russian website, alleges that before a May 2011 graduation address to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Obama stopped at the dentist office where Carey worked as an assistant, because a piece of pistachio shell had become lodged in his back moral.

While there, according to the theory, Obama struck up a friendship with Carey, who became pregnant shortly afterward. The website claimed that Carey refused Obama’s request to have an abortion, at which point Obama “lured” her to Washington and had her killed. (Even more bizarrely, the site goes to claim that Obama was out trolling for extramarital action because Michelle Obama was actually born a man.)

Manning accused the “entire world media” of refusing to investigate the incident, and chastised Rev. Perm, Cut His Nuts Off Jackson, women’s rights groups, academia, and the courts for “refusing to come to the aid of this slaughtered woman, which means that they are protecting something that they feel far more important, which is Barack Hussein Obama. Case closed.”

Manning said Obama “crushed out [Carey's] life, and no one will come to her aid.” He would have gotten away with it, too, had it not been for that pistachio nut.

Here's a dose of the stupidity from James David Manning.

Jesse Jackson, Jr. Demands An Iron College He Can Survive In!

File:Sandi and Jesse Photograph.jpg
Jesse Jackson, Jr. and his wife Sandi are going to federal time out for misuse of campaign funds. Jackson is demanding that he goes to a lenient iron college. 

Former Democratic congressman from Illinois, Jesse Jackson, Jr. is heading to federal time out. The lawmaker accepted a guilty plea for using campaign funds for his lavish lifestyle. The former lawmaker and his wife will be getting time spent in the iron college.

Jackson is the son of Cut His Nuts Off Jackson (Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr.)

Another embarrassing moment for the civil rights leader. You know conservatives hate him with a passion.

The conservative agitators are practically hoping that the civil rights leader joins his son in the iron college.

In June 10, 2012, Jackson took a medical leave of absence from the House, citing exhaustion.

On July 11, 2012, Jackson's office said he was being treated for a mood disorder at a residential treatment facility. His office denied speculation that he was being treated for alcoholism.

However, he also acknowledged that he was under two separate and distinct investigations, by the House Ethics Committee and by the FBI.

On August 13, 2012 it was confirmed by numerous news outlets that Jackson was in fact being treated for bipolar disorder.

Sixteen days after being re-elected to another term, Jackson resigned effective on November 21, 2012, citing his health problems and acknowledging the ethics investigations.

Jackson was named one of the 15 most corrupt members of Congress by the liberal Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for his role in the scandal.

On September 21, 2010, Jackson said of his affair with Peruvian Giovana Huidobro: "is a private and personal matter between me and my wife ".

The Peruvian hostess was flown to Chicago twice by political fundraiser Raghuveer Nayak one month before the 2008 November election in a bid to see if Jackson would pony up $6 million in exchange for an Illinois senate seat being vacated by Barack Obama.

In September 2010, fundraiser Nayak was mentioned in the press as having been an alleged go between for Jackson and Blagojevich with the message that Jackson would help Blagojevich raise $6 million in exchange for the Senate appointment.

The allegations have become the subject of a Congressional ethics investigation.

Now as he heads off to federal time out, he demands a television and daily newspaper while he serves his time. He thinks that federal time out is going to be an "easy" ride.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the ex-Congressman is ordered to spend time behind bars, he would like to go to either the federal prison camp in Montgomery, Ala., or the low-security portion of the federal correctional institution in Butner, N.C., one of his lawyers said Monday.

The Butner Federal Correctional Complex already has at least two well-known inmates — former Chicago police Cmdr. Jon Burge and former New York financier Bernard Madoff.

Jackson, 48, will be sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for misspending about $750,000 from his campaign treasury.

While the sentencing judge will have the option to suggest where Jackson should serve any prison term, it's up to the Bureau of Prisons to decide where felons are incarcerated.

Ed Ross, a spokesman for the bureau, said it considers a number of factors when placing inmates, including criminal history, medical needs and sentencing recommendations. Additionally, the bureau tries to place inmates within 500 miles of home.

In the request, which was filed with the court Monday, defense lawyer William Drake said the facility in Alabama — about 700 miles from Washington — is the closest federal prison camp to the nation's capital and would "allow Mr. Jackson to maintain contact with his wife and children during incarceration." The Jacksons have homes in Washington and Chicago.

In making the North Carolina facility Jackson's second choice, the lawyer said he "has significant ties to the area, which he believes will aid his rehabilitation during any term of incarceration."

Jackson graduated from North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in Greensboro. The prison in North Carolina is within 500 miles of Washington.

Both facilities are among the best in the prison system, said Alan Ellis, a defense attorney who specializes in federal sentencing. Ellis ranks the Montgomery prison, a minimum-security facility located on Maxwell Air Force Base, among the top 10 in the nation.

"Staff is good there," he said. "You keep your mind occupied, you're working on the base."

Butner is "the crown jewel of the prison system" because it has a number of different facilities and a medical center that draws from the nearby Research Triangle area of Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill, Ellis said.

"It's like a college campus," Ellis said, adding that the buildings are "all named after (Atlantic Coast Conference) schools."

Butner is home to a low-security facility, two medium-security facilities and the medical center. Former Chicago cop Burge, convicted of lying about torturing confessions out of suspects, is in the prison's low-security area. Convicted financier Madoff is in Butner's medium-security facility, records show.

Jackson's lawyers have said he has severe depression and bipolar disorder and have argued that he could not get suitable care behind bars.

Of the two options presented by Jackson's lawyers, Ellis said Butner seemed like the best fit.

"Butner has these various levels, and it will probably be more appropriate to his mental health and medical needs," Ellis said.

Prosecutors want Jackson to serve four years in prison and his wife, former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson, to serve 18 months. Sandi, 49, will be sentenced the same day for failing to report about $600,000 in income. Both resigned from office before pleading guilty in February.

The anonymous gadfly responds again. Guess what story he was riled up about?

Okay, why do we post this individual's comments?

This is an example of the nonsense you'll be seeing in your comment sections. People who are not capable of understanding the plight of others. People who only focus on vitriol whenever an issue about the Black community comes up.

S. Baldwin was right on two things. It doesn't matter whether they're conservative, liberal or libertarian: If they are White males, they're likely to have issues with race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, economic and political standings.

They can't stomach Blacks achieving. That's probably why for every controversy in Washington, DC, White men blame President Barack Obama overwhelmingly.

This person clearly knows we're not reading his nonsense. So in order to piss the anonymous user off again, we'll lower the font of the word vomit. Use a magnifying glass when you want read this crap.

I'm going to try and be a little friendlier so maybe you will absorb my points rather than completely misinterpreting them and pidgeonholing me as something I'm not

I wouldn't get upset with a black dude in white face, any more than I'd get upset with a white dude in black face-- so long as the context was appropriate. If it's like this, some racist rodeo clown hyping up rednecks to "See obama get taken down by a bull," well that's clearly racist and not appropriate. If it's just some white guy who is a fan of Obama wearing an Obama mask at a support rally, I'm ok with it. Because he didn't have racist intent.

In my ongoing effort to point out YOUR racism, I would say tagging this post "White America" was racist of you. As if that clown somehow represents whites as a whole. Your tags are often extremely racist (especially that PA town hall killer) and I think you should really take a second to think about them.

12:14 PM

Here's another question for you!

Why is this individual still reading this blog if he claims I'm "racist"?

If I am a racist, where's my white sheet and burning cross?

Every American has a form of bigotry in them. There's no denying that. But seriously, why is it this individual focuses on the stories that deal with conservatives acting like racists?

The Republican Party isn't racist. But there's a lot of racists who vote for, support and endorse the Republican Party. Conservatism is a product of that. It's dosed in it.

What's The Deal With Loserville Running Pictures Of Trayvon Martin With The Gold Teeth?

The folks over at Loserville run this picture on their network to scare their guillible audience into thinking that Trayvon Martin is a "scary Black man".

You notice every freaking time I've tuned into Loserville News Sunday they covered Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman controversy!

The protest rallies happen over the weekend and I've seen the coverage. This network uses more pictures of Trayvon Martin with gold teeth than normal pictures of him as a young teenager.

As with most news channels, Loserville has covered the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman controversy. In a way, they'll claim that they're the only network that gave a "fair and balance" approach to the George Zimmerman trial.

The conservative agitators (and those on this network) will say that it's the fault of President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, NAACP, Rev. Perm and Cut His Nuts Off Jackson.

In some way I've come to notice that Loserville uses the pictures of Martin showing off his "golden grill". The picture of him with gold teeth is something of significance to the conservative/white supremacist bubble.

Whenever they use these picture of Trayvon Martin in a negative light, it makes me shake my head.

The pictures of him blowing smoke rings, flipping the bird, wearing his earbuds and having pictures with his gold grill: SOUND THE ALARMS, SCARY BLACK GUY!
Loserville makes claims about the unarmed teenager. 
This is the subliminal stuff that goes on in the conservative media. They want to run around with this notion that the teenager is a violent prone thug. Clearly, that's what the ALL WHITE JURY saw in the evidence.

That's clearly what George Zimmerman, his brother, his father and his wife see in Trayvon Martin, President Barack Obama and every Black male teenager in America.

Whenever the pictures appear on the white extremist shitholes, I've looked upon this as how conservatives look upon Black America as the "enemy".

They'll line up tokens to disspell the notion that conservatism isn't dosed in racism. Note I said conservatism, not Republicans. The Republican Party is a national party that supports conservatism. So if it's guilt by association, then hell they're enablers of the extremism within the conservative movement.

Look here, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win is the country's enabler of extremism. He goes to the defense of the racial extremists and nit wits.

This network and conservative talk radio are enablers of extremism. You listen to the agitators. You listen to the callers. Think about it?
The Republican mouthpiece.
The White extremists are upset over the fact that the Hispanic population is growing. They're upset that the nation would elect in their mind a "morally stupid" person like Barack Obama to be the nation's president.

The White extremist are so concerned about crime statistics in the urban communities only when it comes to issues such as a White man killing a Black man. They don't see that White males are more dangerous than the Black man, the Latino man and the practicing Muslim.

You hear all this talk about gun control in urban areas. They want to take away guns from those who defend themselves when police aren't there to protect them in their own neighborhoods. They want to give White men more opportunities to carry firearms in the public. They'll allow them to use them in bars, schools, and churches.

They'll be figuring ways to collapse laws that protect the innocent. So you know if every state would have a "Stand Your Ground" law, it would be the "Splinter Cell" video game.

Loserville and the conservative agitators in the media are the reasons for unrest in America. They sought opportunity to take advantage of the first Black president by calling him things that you'll never hear them say about a White president. I mean we all have our disagreements with our leaders, but this one is different.

President Barack Obama is constantly on egg shells when it comes to race. Knowing that a lot of people are still uncomfortable with his race, he tries to appeal as best as he could to most issues.

They don't give him a break when it came to Sandra Fluke. Fluke was a 30-something White woman who became a target of a smear campaign over issues that affect woman (of all color).

They didn't give him a break when it came to Chardon, Ohio, Clackamas, Oregon, Aurora, Colorado, Newtown, Connecticut and Chicago, Illinois. They figured that he's trying to take their guns or he's trying to muster his muscle.

He can't catch a break from either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

He's not perfect. But in the minds of conservatives, he's either a SOCIALIST or a NIGGER. Or perhaps both.

And where would they get this notion from?

The country's most watch news channel.

Thanks Chief Roger and Rupert Murdoch. Yellow journalism exists in America.

Lastly, we'll get something out of the way. The comments from some of the WHITE EXTREMISTS who visit Journal de la Reyna.

Anonymous said...

Oh god, could you be any more overdramatic? No one gives a fuck about race in a case like this-- the guy is clearly a psychopath. The race issue is more in your head than in the collective consciousness of america. You're making the fucking problem worse by making everything about race when it's not. Go away.

6:00 PM

First things, first, we will not go away! As long as I have a voice and S. Baldwin has a blog, we'll continue to move forward. We will put the prospective of what goes on in this blog and hope to accomplish a goal.

The goal is to bring light to injustice. The systematic injustice in how the junk food media covers stories about people of color. Whether they're Black, Latino, Asian, or Native American, the junk food media looks at us as the "enemy".

Overdramatic is the comments you've left.

Go away? Never.

Yeah, I agree that this person in Cleveland, Michael Madison is a monster. He was a horrible human being who should be sent to Yemen or Saudi Arabia. They'll either hang him or stone him for rape.

Those in the Middle East fear the judicial system. It's literally life or death over there.

But still, your comments are a reason to why it's very important to continue on. Race isn't much of an issue.

It's not collective consciousness to be concerned.

How could I be fucking up the country when I have the "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" to say whatever the heck I want. I didn't see any rules against challenging the "status quo"!

Again we respect an objective opinion here. We have right to post our opinion as you are given the right to say whatever you want on the comments section.

Although I've deleted it and hope the next time you respond, you leave a name to it: I see nothing wrong with what I've said.

I promise you that there's more to come.

Elbert Guillory: Tokens Please!

Another Black Republican comes out and the junk food media folks embrace the reactionary.

Those conservative agitators in the junk food media are putting on another Black Republican as their savior against the massive outcries of bigotry within the Republican Party.

Some nobody from Louisiana named Elbert Guillory has announced last month he's switched parties.

Elbert Lee Guillory (born June 24, 1944) is an African American Republican member of the Louisiana State Senate.

He represents District 24, including his native Opelousas, Louisiana, and an assortment of rural precincts.

Up until 2007, Guillory had been a registered Republican. He became a Democrat in 2007 when he first ran for the state House in the heavily Democratic District 40.

During the 2013 regular session of the Louisiana Legislature, Guillory switched his party affiliation back to Republican.

Officially, Guillory's party-switch occurred on May 31, when he was presented with the Frederick Douglass Award from the @Large Society. Earlier, State Senator Karen Carter Peterson, the chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party, had indicated racism to be the reason why the Louisiana Legislature and Governor Bobby Jindal opposed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), a federal statute adopted in 2010 by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama. Jindal and the legislature had declined to implement in Louisiana that part of the federal act offering the states federal funding for Medicaid.

Guillory took exception to Carter Peterson's characterization of the opponents of Obamacare, but his intent to switch parties had already been under consideration.

Before Guillory's switch, the last Republican of African-American ethnicity in the Louisiana Senate had served during the Reconstruction era.

In accepting the award, Guillory compared himself to 19th-century abolitionist Frederick Douglass, a Republican who had supported Abraham Lincoln.

Guillory has a conservative political philosophy.

Guillory explained his party switch in a 4-minute 17-second video widely circulated in state and national media outlets, including the radio programs of King Hippo, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, and by Some Guy on Loserville.

The video was viewed on You Tube within the first three days by nearly 500,000. Filmed in the rear of the Senate chamber, the video calls the Democrats "the party of Jim Crow" and depicts the Republicans as "the party of freedom and progress." Guillory said that his defection to the Republican Party is "not only right for me, but for all of my brothers and sisters in the black community."

He decided that his principles are to be a "proud Black Republican". He wants to wake "us Black folk" out of the trance of Brotha Barack.

He believes that "NIGGERS" are taking advantage of the hard fought earnings of patriots who fought for the right to push religion in school.

He believes that evil "Democrat Party" started the Ku Klux Klan, gave Blacks no hope in New Orleans and other Black majority cities. He thinks that Planned Parenthood plots genocide, and that Muslim in the White House is a "socialist".

Guillory doesn't want to be trapped on "da plantation" like the rest of "us Black folk".

See he's a freed NEGRO. He's welcomed with open arms in the Republican Party. The party who freed the slaves.

The party that claims that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of their alumni.

The party who believes that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Bill Clinton and the Muslim Socialist Mulatto are all racists in disguise.

Real heroes are like Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush made this country safe and stopped evils home and abroad.

He switched parties because he probably didn't get what he wanted out of a committeeship and the previous party was tired of his bullshit. So they've said good riddance to him. 

But to The Guy Who Helped Obama Win, King Hippo and The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall, he's the umpteenth new "BLACK HOPE".

Elbert Guillory played the bait and switch game. He was then a Republican, before became a Democrat, before he became a Republican. He wanted to bait Blacks into voting for him in a heavily Democratic district. Upon redistricting, he lost a portion of his district. So instead of competing for it, he'll just switch to become a Republican so he didn't have to face a defeat in the general election this year. Louisiana goes for another governor this year after Bobby Jindal, a Republican finishes his term.

This is another right wing bigot in Black skin. Another reason to why Blacks will not join the Republican Party. He only cares about winning than those suppose of Black folks he's trying to free from the Democrat Plantation.

Blacks are conservative at heart. But we're not stupid like those who paint us out to be. We're not natural born criminals. We see how conservatives treat Trayvon Martin and the young woman who was a witness.

We see how they reacted to a Cheerio's commercial on YouTube about an interracial family.

We see how they reacted to the notion of a Black woman scream she got an "OBAMA PHONE".

We see how they've disrespected Jay-Z, Beyonce, Jamie Foxx, Susan Rice, Van Jones, Eric Holder, Shirley Sherrod, Nelson Mandela, First Lady Michelle Obama, Ludacris, and Will.i.am. We know they're public figures but damn, these guys look at them as NIGGERS more so than entertainers and politicos.

The reaction to the president is enough for a Black person to not support the Republican Party.

They may have legitimate concerns with the president, fine. But the reactionary bullshit cause by those conservative agitators in the junk food media sponge the minds of these individuals.

They're entitled to be bigots. They have the freedom of speech, like this Guillory person.

But seriously, if I was a Black Republican, why is it that my party atone to all these characterizations?

Do they really want to be diverse?

The Republican Party is 90% WHITE and 10% everything else. Like cocaine.

By the way, I am tired of these NEGROS pissing on the graves of Fredrick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and any other Black leader who fought for the rights to be equal among all the races.

These grandstanding Black Republicans and their conservative allies don't want nothing to do with us.

They rather see the Black man in jail or killing one another. They can't stand Black leaders (i.e. Barack Obama) and hip-hop music.

They want control over us when it comes to entitlements, guns, employment, and housing. But we can't have control over them because we're supposedly the actual racists.

Black Voter Turnout Surpassed White Voters!

Can we keep this voting thing going? Black voters turnout heavy this last election. If we can get the Republicans out of Congress, we're going to need more than just a few Blacks in the voting booth.

Wondering if the Republican Party and their conservative extremist allies believe it's another attempt by those evil Black Panthers?

Wondering if these Knee-Grows voted for the color instead of the character?

Republicans are quick to dismiss the higher Black turnout on issues that had nothing to do with it. Of course, they'll claim that the name of the Democratic candidate is on the ballot twice. The Black voters embrace the "gubmint gibbs mes" from "brotha" Barack. The skin color is the only thing those "ignant Black folk" support.

Conservative talk radio and Loserville have been on a dog whistle campaign the moment Barack Obama announced he was running for president.

Still some white people believe that the president is either a socialist, Communist, a radical, a racist, a Muslim, a person who hates America, the devil and the guy who takes too many vacations on the taxpayer's dime.

Black voters see this as a disrespect not only upon the president, but the Black community in general. The first Black president ever to hold office and the conservative media treats President Barack Obama like he's a "thug" or being "not one of them".

It's shows through the Republican Party's intrusive strategy to win back the Congress. They've passed legislation that makes it a requirement to have an identification when voting. They want to eliminate overtime pay so businesses can work an individual for lesser pay. They want to cut domestic programs that could help the needy and poor. They refuses to cave on gun control, yet they're screaming at the Black man, the Muslim or the Hispanic man with firearms.
Reince Priebus, the Republican chairman has tried and failed to win over minority votes.
This may be the coming of a new era in voting. For the first time ever, Black voter turnout surpassed White voters. The White race is 74% of the United States general population.

With the shift in demographics making the Hispanic population the fastest minority group, White males are on the decline. And in thirty years, the White male will officially be a minority.

The Huffington Post and Associated Press reports America's blacks voted at higher rates than whites in 2012, lifting Democrat Barack Obama to victory amid voter apathy, particularly among young people, new census data show. Despite increasing population, the number of white voters declined for the first time since 1996.

Blacks were the only race or ethnic group to show an increase in voter turnout in November, most notably in the Midwest and Southeastern U.S., the Census Bureau said Wednesday. The analysis, based on a sample survey of voters last year, is viewed as the best source of government data on turnout by race and ethnicity.

The Associated Press reported last week that black voter turnout surpassed whites for the first time, based on an analysis by experts of earlier data.

In all, about 66.2 percent of eligible black voters cast ballots in 2012, up from 64.7 percent in 2008, according to census data. That compares with non-Hispanic white turnout of 64.1 percent, which fell from 66.1 percent four years earlier. As recently as 1996, blacks had turnout rates 8 percentage points lower than non-Hispanic whites.
Not helpful. Besides the first Black president is a Democrat. That's the emancipation!
Latino turnout dipped slightly, from 49.9 percent in 2008 to 48 percent, while Asian-American turnout was basically unchanged at 47 percent.

Voter turnout across all race and ethnic groups fell for a second consecutive presidential election, from 64 percent in 2004 to 62 percent in November, according to the census figures.

"Obama's win in 2012, despite the important Democratic constituency of young voters not participating at a high level, is good news," said Michael McDonald, a George Mason University professor who specializes in voter turnout. "The bad news is that voting is a habit – and the fact that we saw turnout declines among younger African-Americans suggests Democrats will have to work even harder to excite these voters in future elections."

The data underscore how turnout plays an important role in elections for both whites and blacks, who will remain the two largest racial groups of eligible voters for the next decade. While Hispanics are now the fast-growing demographic group, they currently make up a smaller share of eligible voters because many are children and non-citizens, limiting their electoral impact for the immediate future.

In 2012, the number of blacks who voted rose by 1.7 million. Hispanics added 1.4 million and Asian voters increased by 550,000.


Meanwhile, even though the white population is slowly increasing, the number of white voters dropped by 2 million – the first drop in absolute terms for any race or ethnic group since 1996.

By age, youth enthusiasm for voting fizzled in 2012.

About 41 percent of voters age 18-24 cast ballots in November, down 7 percentage points from 2008. The drop was greatest among whites, whose turnout fell from 49 percent to 42 percent. But young black voters also saw big declines, from 55 percent in 2008 to 49 percent. That's compared with a decline among young Hispanics from 39 percent to 34 percent.

The only subgroups showing increases in voter turnout were among blacks ages 45 to 64 as well as those 65 and older.

"Blacks have been voting at higher rates, and the Hispanic and Asian populations are growing rapidly, yielding a more diverse electorate," said Thom File, a census sociologist who wrote the voting analysis. "Over the last five presidential elections, the share of voters who were racial or ethnic minorities rose from just over 1 in 6 in 1996 to more than 1 in 4 in 2012."

"We do know the population is growing more diverse, and the electorate is growing more diverse in a different way," File added.

Other census findings:

_White turnout declined in 39 states from 2008 to 2012, including presidential battleground states such as Ohio, Virginia and Florida.

_The gender gap in voting persists, a trend since 1996. About 64 percent of women voted, compared with 60 percent of men.

_Declines in voter turnout also were seen most notably among single people, the unemployed, renters and those with only a high school education or some college, suggesting in part voter disenchantment amid a sluggish economy.

_Black voter turnout surpassed that of whites mostly in the Midwest region, which covers Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as the Southern U.S. region including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

Demographers say the numbers pose long-term challenges for Republicans, given that 80 percent of nonwhites voted for Obama in November.

Analyses by Brookings Institution demographer William H. Frey show that Republican Mitt Romney would have barely won the presidency if whites and other race groups had turned out at the same rates as they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels. But if Democrats can replicate 2012 turnout rates in 2016, they would win the presidency, given current population trends, Frey said.

Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew Research Center, indicated the economy will be an important factor in future elections, noting that Hispanics and young people were among the hardest hit during the high unemployment years of 2008-2012.

"Given what we know about the youth bulge in the population, Millennials and Hispanics will become ever more important voting blocs in upcoming presidential elections," Taylor said. "But in 2012, both groups left a lot of votes on the table."

The census figures are based on the Current Population Survey as of November 2012. Since Hispanic is defined by the government as an ethnicity and not a race, census figures for "blacks" and "Asians" may include Hispanics. Census data for "white" refer to whites who are not of Hispanic ethnicity.

Another Helping Of The Mud Pie...

Been whipped by the slave master raise your hands!

Briefly, earlier I posted the story about Black conservatives whining about being shunned by the rest of the Black community.

They head over to Loserville and have a sitdown with "That Guy Who Helped Obama Win" to complain about how "us Black folk" are never freed slaves. They say those evil Democrats are whipping the backs of the Black community by keeping us in the poorhouse. These Black conservatives devoted time to every stereotype they've pulled out their backside.

Dr. Benjamin Carson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Deneen Borelli, David Webb, Star Parker and many Black conservatives are screaming their right to be outright bigots are violated.
Newsflash: Democrats nominated and the American public elected the first Black president.
They claim that Black leaders consider them "tokens', "Oreos", "House Niggers" and "sell-outs to the Black community".

Understand this. I don't have nothing against Black conservatives. They have a right to be the condescending, reactionary, bigots they've made themselves out to be.

We don't have to agree to the crap they've thrown on the wall. But for every time they've said something about Blacks being enslaved or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being a Republican, a few more Blacks vote Democrat.

Meet The Guy Who Helped Barack Obama Win!
The Republican Party outreach to minorities is a disaster in the making. Lining up Black conservatives isn't the way to swaying a Black voter. The party has to reach out with issues that matter to Black voters.

Austerity cuts to safety nets and intrusive laws are not favored among Black voters.

Unemployment is at an all time high among Black voters. But many including myself feel there's a possibility of institutional racism in hiring Black workers and home buying.

Many Americans are concerned with the cost of living. While food prices, gas prices, and energy rates go up, many are looking for safety nets. The Republican Party wants to eliminate safety nets in case of a person losing a home to foreclosure or natural disaster. The party wants to cut welfare, unemployment, farm aid, and  food stamps. Things that affect the middle class and the poor.

These Black conservatives claim the Democratic Party keeps Black Americans poor. That right there is a condescending talking point. If they realize that for over 154 years, Blacks were undermined since they've allowed segregation among the races.
Black conservatives hate Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton because they're effective!
No political party is responsible for the problems of the Black community. It's the conservative philosophy that continues to hold "us Black folk" in the "us vs. them" divisive culture.

Although it's likely going to get even more browner in the future, Black Americans are the only race that's undermined by those in the junk food media.

You notice that guy never invited Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell to the Loserville forum.

These issues aren't mentioned by those in the mud pie!
