Racism Has a Different Meaning for Black Men and Women
That's so true! Racism affects how Black men and women perceive it gender wise.
Winnipeg mayor gets choked up after magazine calls city 'Canada’s most racist' | CTV News
After a national magazine said that Winnipeg is “arguably Canada’s most racist city,” its mayor is promising to address the problem.
“My wife is of Ukrainian heritage; my family is Métis,” said Mayor Brian Bowman at a news conference, where he appeared to be on the verge of tears.
“I want my boys to be as proud of both those family lines.”

Ernie Banks Passes Away!
Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks has passed away. |
This weekend marks the death of America's favorite baseball player. Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks has passed away. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Ernie Banks.
Banks was a Major League Baseball (MLB) shortstop and first baseman for 19 seasons, 1953 through 1971. He spent his entire MLB career with the Chicago Cubs. He was a National League (NL) All-Star for 11 seasons, playing in 14 All-Star Games.
Banks was born and raised in Dallas. He entered Negro league baseball in 1950, playing for the Kansas City Monarchs. He served in the US military for two years and returned to the Monarchs before beginning his major league career in September 1953. He made his first MLB All-Star Game appearance in 1955. Banks received back-to-back National League Most Valuable Player awards in 1958 and 1959. He hit .313 with 47 home runs (HR) and 129 runs batted in (RBI) in 1958. The next season he hit .304 with 45 HR and 143 RBI in 1959.
During the 1961 season, Banks was transferred to left field followed by a final position change to first base. Cubs manager Leo Durocher became frustrated with Banks in the mid-1960s, saying that the slugger's performance was faltering, but he felt that he was unable to remove Banks from the lineup due to the star's popularity among Cubs fans. Banks was a player-coach from 1967 through 1971. In 1970, he hit his 500th career home run. In 1972, he joined the Cubs coaching staff after his retirement as a player.
Banks was active in the Chicago community during and after his tenure with the Cubs. He founded a charitable organization, became the first black Ford Motor Company dealer in the United States, and made an unsuccessful bid for a local political office. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. In 1999, he was named to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. In 2013, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contribution to sports. Banks lived in the Los Angeles area.
Banks married his first wife Mollye Ector in 1953. He had proposed to her in a letter from Germany and they married when he returned to the US. He filed for divorce two years later. The couple briefly reconciled in early 1959. By that summer, they agreed on a divorce settlement that would pay $65,000 to Ector in lieu of alimony.
Shortly thereafter, Banks eloped with Eloyce Johnson. Within a year, the couple had twin sons. They had a daughter four years after that.
Banks ran for alderman in Chicago in 1962. He lost the election and later said, "People knew me only as a baseball player. They didn't think I qualified as a government official and no matter what I did I couldn't change my image... What I learned, was that it was going to be hard for me to disengage myself from my baseball life and I would have to compensate for it after my playing days were over."
Ector filed suit against Ernie in 1963 for failing to make payments on a life insurance policy as agreed upon in their divorce settlement.
Played for 19 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, Ernie Banks. He appears with Hank Aaron. |
Banks and Bob Nelson became the first black owners of a U.S. Ford Motor Company dealership in 1967. Nelson had been the first non-white commissioned officer in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II; he operated an import car dealership before the venture with Banks.
Banks was appointed to the board of directors of the Chicago Transit Authority in 1969.
On a trip to Europe, Banks was able to visit the Pope, who presented him with a medal that became a proud possession.
President Barack Obama and Ernie Banks. The president and First Lady Michelle Obama both send their condolences to the family of Ernie Banks. |
Banks married Liz Ellzey in 1997 and Hank Aaron served as his best man.
In late 2008, Banks and Ellzey adopted an infant daughter.
Banks's nephew, Bob Johnson, was a major league catcher and first baseman for the Texas Rangers between 1981 and 1983. His great nephew, Acie Law, is a professional basketball player who attended Texas A&M University before playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Conservative Outrage Over YouTube Star GloZell Meeting Obama!
CNN host gave YouTube star GloZell some advice. Some haters have peanut butter and jealousy. The racist right aims at her after she had an opportunity to meet the president. Of course, they're mad that he ignored Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a conservative warmongering agitator. |
The racist right and its allies once again have their usual freakout over President Barack Obama. This time they're complaining about the president's interaction with some of YouTube's viral stars. They claim that it's unbecoming of the office for him to waste time with people who sit in their underwear trying to be famous.
There were three viral YouTube stars who got the opportunity to meet the president. Of course, one woman managed to rise their antennas.
Loving the @YouTube live interview with Obama - @GloZell was amazing! https://t.co/wfRPO5YVsA
— Richard Wiseman (@RichardWiseman) January 23, 2015
I kept hearing YouTube sensation GloZell being mentioned on conservative agitator radio programs.
The entertainer runs a YouTube page and it pulls a high view count.
Not saying that I'm not her but I wish I was. She pulls a healthy amount of subscribers.
Because the more popular you become, the more haters come forth.
Rob Lowe is feuding with a YouTube celebrity who interviewed the president. |
The controversial prime minister of Israel is hated by most world leaders. It's due to the prime minister's stubborn views towards allowing the Palestinian people to create an independent state.
The United States is an ally of Israel but its starting to wane. The U.S. and allied foreign diplomats are trying to work out an agreement with Iran. The Republicans are threatening to derail the path to peace because the conservative agitators support Netanyahu's hateful agenda.
Actor Rob Lowe decided to throw poop into the mix. He went to the social networks to vent off about this. GloZell hits him back. She thanks Lowe for mentioning her.
She even made note that his spelling is almost as bad as his acting!
Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a bathtub gets to meet with the President and the Prime Minister of Isreal does not?

You heard this, these agitators support a foreign leader over their own American president. They just mad that the president wants to reach out to those who felt that he's not open enough with the public.
They rather see him take orders from a foreign leader who may lead us into World War III.
The old fart complains about the president having the time to interview a YouTube celebrity over this old fart's fuck buddy Benjamin Netanyahu. |
See their loyalties are with leaders who cause a majority of the crisis in the world.
An actor who has plays the role of a cheater on his wife might as well be a sex crazed lunatic. He was the one who sank Michael Dukakis presidential campaign after he was messing around with female campaign staffers. It's a damn shame that Lowe has turned conservative. He was a talented actor.
He grew up in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio with his brother fellow actor Chad.
GloZell keep doing your thing. You are beautiful and bold. Fuck the haters and make that money!
Ohio Mayor Blames Blacks For Cop Morale!
Norwood, Ohio mayor popped off about race-baiting Black leaders. |
Norwood, Ohio is located about six miles from Downtown Cincinnati. It's an enclave that's surrounded by Cincinnati and is located around Ohio State Route 562 (known as the Lateral) and Interstate 71.
The mayor of the city has generated national attention after he wrote a letter singling out race-baiting Black leaders and cowardly lawmakers for cop morale being down.
And the defiant mayor spoke to the junk food media saying that he's not a racist and he's just showing "love" to his police force.
Thomas Williams the mayor of the Norwood is facing a controversy. He sent a letter to his police chief and urged vigilance but happen to slip the Black in it.
In 2001, Timothy Thomas was an unarmed man who was gunned down by former Cincinnati officer Stephen Roach. That sparked a week of riots in the city and an ongoing boycott of the city.
This mayor Williams needs to understand that the issue is real.
Norwood residents are calling for the mayor to formally apologize or get the fuck out of the office.
THOMAS F. WILLIAMS, MAYOR
5701 VARELMAN COURT
NORWOOD, OH 45212
HOME: 731-3053
CITY: 458-4501
mayor@norwood-ohio.com
His freedom of speech was intrusive and inclusive of most Republicans. Just in case you want to actually know what political affiliation this clown is, Williams is a Democrat.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that despite the firestorm of controversy his letter created on social media, the mayor would "never turn a blind eye" to an officer who betrays the public's trust, Police Chief William Kramer said in response.
Norwood, Ohio at Linden Pointe. The area Montgomery Road (U.S. 22, Ohio State Routes 3 and 561) near Ohio State Route 562 known as the Norwood Lateral. |
While many of those 200 comments backed the mayor and applauded his support of the police department, others said the comments added fuel to the fire of racial tension while being antagonistic and insensitive.
Kramer posted a response to some of the criticism Thursday.
"In no way is he saying that he would blindly support us," Kramer said in the post.
"There were also many comments about Norwood's history. That seems to be (a) ghost that no matter how hard we try, we cannot get past. Regardless, we will continue to provide the exemplary service we always have and we also will continue to build and strengthen our relationship with the citizens and visitors to Norwood."

Man Caught Two Dummies Posting Their iPad Theft!
A thief who never owned a iPhone or an iPad never expected Apple to update their products to assist in helping owners to retrieve their lost properties.
Houston men are in the Harris County lockup after the owner found their selfie pictures on his iCloud server. The thieves broke into the man's vehicle and took over $5000, the iPad and laptop.
These two dummies didn't expect the pictures turn up on the viral social networks. |
They head to a nearby Burger King and activate the iPad. They would make a video called "Burger King Ballin'" while holding a bundle of cash. One of the thieves posted on the social network that, “This, my good people, is what we get from a good night’s hustle.”
They would post on their social networks unaware that their picture and video would automatically transfer to the iCloud.
They would post on their social networks unaware that their picture and video would automatically transfer to the iCloud.
When the owner went to trace his iPad, he saw the pictures of the two. So instead of just shaking his fist and throwing a tantrum. He decided to publicly shame these guys.
He took to the Reddit, a viral agitator. The agitator ranks up the most controversial or topic worthy posts. Then of course, the junk food media would eventually jump into the fray. It would take a few days before they would be spotted by their friends.
It's nothing new. We're human beings. We all make mistakes.
I'm guilty of this too. Most Americans leave their doors unlocked. The opportunity for theft increases when owners fail to lock their vehicles.
Schaefer left his vehicle unlocked and had a backpack in the backseat. He didn't expect during the day someone would go after his properties.
When someone steals from you, it makes you feel like you've been punched in the gut. They violate your space, your property and your freedom. They create the cycle of theft. Somewhere down the road, the victim could become the criminal. Or the victim may become the vigilante. Or the victim would buy a gun and eventually let the slugs fly.

Dorian Walker-Gaines, 20, and Dillian Thompson, 22 were busted a few days later. Seeing that they've stolen over $5,000 including properties, these two will be getting a minimum of five in the iron college if they're found guilty on these charges. The most I bet you is at least 15 in the iron college.
Already the racist right has gotten their NIGGER fixation.
Stewart Schaefer the victim, left the car unlocked in front of his home earlier this month.
You expect the word vomit to include Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, monkeys, coons and Obama references in.

DOJ Isn't Going To Charge Ex-Ferg Officer!
Department of Justice will push for civil rights violations for ex-cop. |
The August 2014 shooting of Michael Brown was one of the most controversial stories of the year.
Former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed Brown after a confrontation. The St. Louis County grand jury didn't file charges against Wilson.
Now the U.S. Justice Department will release its findings this week. It seems like the violation of civil rights charge is not going to stick. Wilson may be off the hook for this one.
There's not enough evidence to bring up an intentional criminal act against Wilson.
This controversy divided race, politics, class and economic standings.
The liberals and Black America believed that the shooting of unarmed suspects is getting out of control and law enforcement is trigger happy when it comes to BLACK MALES. They believe the junk food media is giving comfort towards law enforcement. They figured that every Black male who is unarmed and shot by law enforcement will be portrayed as a villain.
The racist right and some in Black America believe that Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, John Crawford and Trayvon Martin were no good criminals. They had it coming. They done the crime. They deserve the slug. They often claim that President Barack Obama, Rev. Perm, Bill de Blasio and Attorney General Eric Holder are the real criminals and racial agitators. The racist right believes that Michael Brown "robbed" a store. Brown reached for Wilson's gun. Brown charged at the officer like a football player after being shot more than once. The protesters are rioters and looters. They're criminals just like Brown. Regardless, they were happy and even gloating on websites about it.
Stupid Ted Cruz Takes His Talking Points From Hannity!
Stallmigo Ted Cruz (R-TX) has to be one of the dumbest politicos to ever be in the Senate. He is basically a talk radio agitator working as a lawmaker. He's bomb-throwing insults at the president and yet has the audacity to never check his facts before he opens his condescending mouth.
He was on that annoying conservative agitator's program discussing his take on the president's State of The Union Address. Added that Cruz is thinking about jumping into the clown car. After all, putting on the makeup and red nose is hard work. He hardly does any work if not at all.
That annoying conservative agitator as well as many others come off with this ridiculous notion that 92 million Americans are not working in the workforce.
Granted that there are some not in the active workforce. But obviously, a majority of them are children under 16. Then you got the baby boomer who are pass 65 years old. They are retiring at a higher rate this time around. Then what about those who are severely disabled. You want them to work?
Seriously, it's about 8 million people (age 18 -54) in the underemployed. About 10 million (age 18 -54) who are not actively working or attending college. So about in a nutshell 20 million are probably not actively working or underemployed.
Politifact gets to the bottom of this.
The total U.S. population age 16 and over is at least 243 million. Subtracting the nearly 156 million Americans in the labor force in June 2013 -- that is, those who were either working or looking for work -- leaves 87 million Americans, which is close to 90 million.
Well on his way to be nominated for being the worst cable news host again. |
• People age 16 to 17, who likely are in high school: 9 million
• People who are enrolled in either two- or four-year colleges: 21 million
• People age 65 and older, who have reached retirement age: 40 million people
That means 20 million people are of normal working age, not in college and not working. That’s less than one-quarter the amount repeatedly cited in the blogosphere.
So the 90 million number is exaggerated. Even so, the idea that fewer people are joining the workforce is something that worries economists.
All things being equal, economists like to see more people working because it helps economic growth (though not at the expense of dropping out of school, which can limit future employment opportunities and earnings potential).
To gauge these trends, economists can calculate the labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of the population that is either working or looking for work, and they can calculate the employment to population ratio, which is the percentage of the 16-and-over population that is currently employed. Both statistics generally track each other, but not in lockstep.
Here’s a summary of these statistics between the end of the last recession in June 2009 and the most recent month available, June 2013.
Politifact rules this.
That day will come when the annoying conservative agitator will be fired out the cannon for misleading his audience one too many times. He well on his way to be nominated once again for being the worst cable news host.
Under the First Amendment, he can lie, deceive and mislead his gullible audience. He has a right to do so. That annoying conservative agitator and Cruz can tell the public President Barack Obama done nothing to help the economy.
What do they know? They are not historians nor economists. They are clueless agitators who sole purpose is to rush to the cameras to prove the listeners and viewers their "gotcha moment" fix.
For a lawmaker to agree to come onto a show to spew some totally stupid bullshit shows how serious a Ted Cruz presidency is! That chain email about 92 million people not working is bogus. No right minded individual would believe that 1/3 of the nation's population is not working.
Nevermind, there's those in the Republican Party and their racist right allies.
But to tell a stupid Republican the facts is like telling them that slip proof shoes have no laces.
Oh, I forgot that Loserville may get sued by the mayor of Paris, France. She was pissed that Loserville would suggest that parts of her city have Muslim "no go zones". That was proven false and yet it's still being repeated by the racist right.
Like I've told you in previous stories, Stallmigo Ted Cruz and Rand Paul (R-KY) have NO LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
They have the least amount of time as lawmakers to proposal bills. Cruz was sworn in 2013 and Paul was sworn in 2011, respectively.

Serving Lame Duck At The SOTU!
Another contentious year for President Barack Obama and Republicans. |
As the final two years begins for President Barack Obama, he delivered his State of The Union Address on Tuesday. He wants to go bold on his agenda. The Republicans didn't want no part of it.
They've shown it in repose. The Weeper of the House rolled his eyes, refused to stand up and clap and some of the Republicans heckled the president by having phones on. What got the junk food media's attention was not Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC). But a few of his fellow Republicans sneering and clapping when the president said that "he's done with campaigning".
The president went off the script and hit them with "I won both of 'em" response. The junk food media seized on that alone. Let's us not forget that the president wanted to pass a jobs bill, raise taxes on the rich, get affordable child care and college legislation passed, easing tension with Cuba, immigration reform, stalling sanctions to Iran, and authority to go after the Islamic State. He threatened Republicans with vetoes if they repeal the Dodd-Frank law and Obamacare. He warned them that the Keystone XL pipeline is not going to be approved if they can't pass other means of fuel and energy.
The insurgency and the newest Stallmigo Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) delivered the Republican response. I didn't hear much from the conservative agitators about it. So I am guessing it was a dud. But nonetheless, the fashionistas love the camouflage high heels she was rocking.
Republicans also used Establishment lawmaker Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) to do the Spanish version.
Congressman Curt Clawson (R-FL) delivered the Insurgency Repsonse. He was the idiot who made the news after he thought that American citizens testifying to a House Committee were from India.
Stallmigos Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) delivered their own responses to the president's speech.
Okay, the infighting between Republicans is beginning. The Republican Response is the official criticism of the president. These worthless lawmakers insult the Republican Party by doing these numerous and worthless responses. They all are on the same page. They hate Obama. We know that.
We're off to the beginning of an unproductive 114th Congress.
Man Arrested After Tackling A Man With Legal Right To Have A Gun!
It was going to be a John Crawford moment. A Black man who had legal right to own a concealed firearm going into Walmart and a "concerned" citizen takes action into his own hands. He calls 911 and proceeds to act like a hero. He tackles the man and restrains him. The Hillsborough County sheriff and Brandon police put the cuffs on the hero.
Some things never change.
Michael Foster, 43 is facing charges on battery (felonious restraint). The victim Clarence Daniels, 62 told Foster that he had a permit. He told Tampa Bay Action News that Foster was lucky that he didn't react to the tackle. He told the report that Foster could have at least stopped him and questioned his intentions before the assault.
Honestly, who knows what a person's thinking?
Florida is one of the many states that allows its residents to hold conceal carry permits. Walmart doesn't restrain shoppers from carrying into their stores. Although some will take an issue with it, the Walmart corporation will not discriminate against shoppers.
Brandon is located 5 miles from Tampa and is one of the many boomburbs surrounding the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater region.
This comes from The Raw Story.
