Aboriginal News Group: FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall: FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall | Vancouver Media Co-op: Richard Marshall found not guilty of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash murder

Vancouver resident John Graham's trial set for July 6

An all-White jury in Rapid City, South Dakota, took less than two hours on April 22 to return a not-guilty verdict in the trial of former American Indian Movement (AIM) member Richard Marshall (of the Lakota Nation) in connection to the murder of fellow AIM member Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.

Aquash was a Mi’kmaq from Nova Scotia and a skilled organizer and warrior with AIM who was targeted and threatened with death by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). When her body was found on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in February of 1976, the FBI tried to cover-up her identity and true cause of death by having her buried as an unknown “Jane Doe” who had supposedly died of exposure, despite an obvious bullet hole wound to her head. A second autopsy requested by family members revealed the murder. At the time, an FBI-supported death squad made up mostly of reservation police officers had killed some 60 members of AIM and traditional Lakota people on Pine Ridge. Other death squad murders had also been passed-off as death by exposure by the FBI’s pathologist and were not investigated.

Open Mic Friday: Question: If Black Women Are So Ugly… « The Obsidian Files

Open Mic Friday: Question: If Black Women Are So Ugly… « The Obsidian Files: "…Where’d all the *lightskinned* Black people come from?
This is the question I always present to those White guys in the Manosphere who swear up and down that Black Women in toto are just sooo hideous, etc. Now, I’m not knocking any Man’s personal preferences. Whatever suits ya, knock yourself out. But it seems like in the odd nexus of the Game and HBDspheres, most White guys seem to go out of their way to hate on and diss Sistas. Which to me seems downright irrational, given the fact that millions of lightskinned Black folks do indeed exist."

Desmond Tutu: Arizona: The Wrong Answer

Desmond Tutu: Arizona: The Wrong Answer

I am saddened today at the prospect of a young Hispanic immigrant in Arizona going to the grocery store and forgetting to bring her passport and immigration documents with her. I cannot be dispassionate about the fact that the very act of her being in the grocery store will soon be a crime in the state she lives in. Or that, should a policeman hear her accent and form a "reasonable suspicion" that she is an illegal immigrant, she can -- and will -- be taken into custody until someone sorts it out, while her children are at home waiting for their dinner.

Equally disturbing is what will happen in the mind of the policeman. The police talk today about how they do not wish to, and will not, engage in racial profiling. Yet faced with the option of using common sense and compassion, or harassing a person who has done nothing wrong, a particularly sinister aspect of Arizona's new immigration law will be hanging over his head. He can be personally sued, by anyone, for failing to enforce this inhumane new act.

Experts: GOP Plan To Change Citizenship Rights Is 'Clearly Unconstitutional' | TPMDC

Earlier this week, we told you about Rep. Duncan Hunter's (R-CA) support for deporting natural born American citizens whose parents are illegal immigrants. That position is based on a Republican proposal to stop granting citizenship rights to such children.

According to two constitutional law experts, that's "clearly unconstitutional."

To explain Hunter's comment, the congressman's spokesperson pointed TPM to a bill, co-sponsored by more than 90 House Republicans, including Hunter, that would eliminate citizenship rights for children born in the U.S. whose parents are illegal immigrants.

The 14th Amendment states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."


Anti-Immigration Flyer: Mexicans Want To Kill 'Gringos' | TPMMuckraker

In another sign of the heightened tensions surrounding illegal immigration in Arizona, a far-right anti-immigration group is stoking fears of a violent Mexicans out to murder white people -- and invoking hard-line sheriff Joe Arpaio -- in a bid to raise money. The group's leader tells TPMmuckraker that in the wake of Arizona's draconian new immigration law, "the irresistible force of globalism and the Mexican invasion is about to meet the immovable object of American sovereignty."

A fundraising flyer sent this month by the American Border Patrol -- a group of anti-immigration advocates who conduct airplane missions to monitor the Arizona-Mexico border -- leads with a quote attributed to Jose Angel Gutierrez, the founder of La Raza: "We have got to eliminate the gringo. And what I mean is, if worse comes to worst, we have got to kill him." Above the quote is a picture of an immigrants rights protest, including a prominent banner declaring: "We Are Indigenous, The Only Owners Of This Continent." (See the flyer here.)

Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog: How many serious white girlfriends has Obama had?

Steve Sailer just can't stand to see our First Family being happy. Poor Steve.

Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog: How many serious white girlfriends has Obama had?: "As you'll recall, one of the most stylized, fable-like sections of the President's Dreams from My Father is the when Obama describes to his half sister Auma the serious girlfriend he had in New York (where he lived from 1981-1985), whom he dumped because she was white, and not only white but old money WASP. As several commenters have noted, the whole episode sounds like it was lifted from a white ethnic writer like Mario Puzo or Philip Roth."

One man set this racist Sailer guy straight:

"Steve has got to be unique in the HBD community as a guy whose regular complaints about black men is that they don't f*ck enough white women.


My personal preference would be for women to hold on to their virtue and remain more or less sexually innocent until they meet "the one" but even if Steve is a libertine (which I doubt he is) how strange is it that he's so incessently hurt by black men who stick with black women? What in God's name could possibly explain that far out perspective?




The fact that the nations first black (and even competant and intelligent even though he's adoreed by Blacks!) president is married to a dark black woman is VERY VERY good and I really don't get why Steve keeps looking this gift horse in the mouth. Just be happy and get on with it. It's good for your daughter, my friend."

This one is from Truth:

'"even if Steve is a libertine (which I doubt he is) how strange is it that he's so incessently hurt by black men who stick with black women? What in God's name could possibly explain that far out perspective?"



Great observation. Take it from me though, not unusual; I would say that the majority of white males are angrier at a black man who does not date white women than one who does...but the thing that makes white guys want to fight is when you date an Asian. I could tell you some stores...

Truth said...

"Of course, I do recognize you as the guy who every now and then tries to rebut Steve's finding with "you see everything through a racial prism, Mr. Sailer" and nothing else."

What makes you think it's always the same "guy."

"Is it so strange that a half-white guy might be attracted to white women?"

Well Cordelia; is it so strange that a half-black guy might be attracted to black women, and got his wife pregnant twice through natural means?

"Does anybody know about GWB's girlfriends? Or John Kerry? Why do you all find the silence on Obama so weird?"


Thank you for calling out racist Steve Sailer's incessant obsession with Black men's relationships.  Contrary to media and some HBDers, overwhelming marjority of Black men are married to Black women period.  It's getting pathetic.

REAL “Genetic Based Dating Tips” For STEM (Read, White, Nerdy) Guys « The Obsidian Files

REAL “Genetic Based Dating Tips” For STEM (Read, White, Nerdy) Guys « The Obsidian Files: "A little while earlier, OneSTDV says the following:
“Quick Dating/Game tip for Betas:
If you intend on scoring women significantly above you in dating market value (i.e. physically attractive), then focus on dating prospects within your own ethnicity . This is an especially efficacious strategy for Greeks, Jews, and Russians as these groups have extant cultural, religious, and social edifices solely comprised of peer ethnics. I would include Italians as they’ve maintained themselves as a distinct group, but Italian women are primarily attracted to alphas, per Jersey Shore ."
