Racist Eugenics: Alive and Well in NC :: racismreview.com: Racist Eugenics: Alive and Well in NC
By Todd
Scholars have long drawn parallels between laws banning interracial and same-sex marriage. The conversation came full circle Monday morning when Jodie Brunstetter, wife of North Carolina Senator Peter Brunstetter (R), explained that her husband co-authored a recent piece of anti-same-sex marriage legislation to “protect the Caucasian race.” Brunstetter continued, “The reason my husband wrote Amendment 1 was because the Caucasian race is diminishing and we need to uh, reproduce.” Placing “race reproduction” at the center of her argument, Brunstetter advocates for a positive eugenics program, a central element of traditional anti-miscegenation statues.

At the Bar: The Rite of Passage
At the Bar: The Rite of Passage: Previously Um....No...We Can't Be Friends Ever since I read this post on Lifeisannoying's blog , I've been scratching my head as to whe...
Don't Vote For The Nigger Says Georgia Bar Owner (At Least On His Road Sign)!
| Not the first time bar owner's sign causing a stir. |
In the state of Georgia, Patrick Lanzo the owner of Georgia Peach Oyster Bar puts out a sign that is an eye grabber.
Matter of fact, it's getting major attention.
In what could be another racial themed insult on President Barack Obama, many conservatives are making an attempt to discount the president as inferior, in turn they undermine the Black vote.
On the sign it reads, "i Do Not Support The Nigger In The White House" (sic).
Lanzo denies he's a racist. But asked to why he puts up such a controversial sign the owner acknowledges that it could touch off a firestorm.
A few years ago, this same owner caused some ire among the NAACP and others when he protested the racial slur to the road sign in protest of the 2010 American Health Care Law. Lanzo once claimed he was a member of the civil rights organziation.

What is troubling is these people are going to make another attempt to play upon racial fears of Blacks.
What is troubling is the Republicans never bat an eyelash when one of their own is caught doing something that is deemed extreme. There may be some who look at this as an isolated incident, but if it wasn't for news agitators like Huffington Post, Newser, Buzzfeed and Newsone, these incidents could have been ignored.
While these assholes are entitled to their opinion. This incident as well as many others have consequences.
You look at the economic food chain. When a person or a group is offended by an action by an individual, they look upon this an attack not only on the person but the group itself. And in turn this what drives the sensationalism.
A birth control advocate by the name of Sandra Fluke for example. The Democratic Party wanted to debate the concerns of religious leaders who were opposed to a portion of the 2010 American Health Care law. They asked the Georgetown University student to testify in favor of the mandate that requires religious institutions that employ workers to have contraception accessibility. When Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) denied her to testify, that created a firestorm. What was more troubling, the Republicans subpoena men to Congress to testify against contraception. When Congressman Issa finally allowed Sandra Fluke to testify, it became a major controversy when Sandra Fluke was called a slut by radio host Rush Limbaugh and mocked as a "lesbian" subliminally by Monica Crowley through her Twitter page. Instead of focusing on the issues that were a concern to Sandra Fluke, these two prominent conservatives made this a personal issue in which it affected a group. Now women are upset with Limbaugh and they managed to hurt him in revenue by boycotting his program. Crowley a woman herself, was forced to apologize for her remarks. President Barack Obama called Sandra Fluke to express his support of her.
Black teenager Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman, a White
See these incidents are a sign of the strategy Republicans are playing.
The progressives (liberals) seem to label conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, overreaching, condescending, morons with pain inducing rants that cater to extremists.
They never tell you that one! You see that every time a conservative complains about President Barack Obama or the Black community in general, the word salad usually includes:
Now tell me if you haven't read or heard this from a conservative Republican or a conservative who votes Democrat.[Blacks] aren't capable of solving problems. They're always creating turmoil! They are fixated on blaming their faults on the White man! They are always screaming racism! They're always taking from hard working [Whites] by staying on welfare and food stamps. [Blacks] are the ones who are really racist! You see how Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Barack Obama defend the [New] Black Panthers. They rather give Black racists (and criminals) a pass but accuse Republicans and conservatives of being racist themselves. There are so many incidents that involved black on white crime, it's unbelievable. This stuff is never reported in the 'liberal media'. White women are raped by [Black] males everyday! They never report this stuff. When Blacks claim a crime was committed by a White person, they are causing trouble by lying about these so-called crimes to seek attention! You never hear about this stuff because Blacks are so in love with Obama. Because the Blacks are so fixated on trying to keep their "brotha", Barack Obama in the White House. The overwhelming support of Barack Obama by Black voters is troubling. They will never look at John McCain, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain as the candidates willing to help Blacks. They are brainwashed into voting for Democrats, plain and simple!We're trying to transition them out of the "Democrat Plantation". We keep telling them that the Democratic Party is the party of the Ku Klux Klan. We keep telling them that Democrats are always keeping them poor! We keep telling Blacks that Democrats want more abortions, same sex marriage and are holding them back! When these White liberals vote for Barack Obama, we believe its White guilt. Because they don't want to be labeled a racist. The Republicans were the party of Civil Rights, and yet the Blacks support the Democrats. They refuse to acknowledge civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once a Republican. They refuse to acknowledge that the Dixiecrats [State's Rights Democratic Party] were the ones who turned the fire hoses on Blacks and endorsed Jim Crow laws. Republicans want to make the Black community lives better. We accomplished a big goal this time by electing two Black legislators to Congress. We got Allen West and Tim Scott. The Tea Party isn't racist. You prove to us there's a racist in the Tea Party and we can tell you that the Occupy Wall Street movement is racist. Look how many White people attend these events. Have you seen a Black person at the Occupy Wall Street Protest? We had plenty of Black speakers at the Tea Party. You Black people are going to make it harder for Barack Obama to win. You keep pushing these stories to paint the Republicans as racist, in turn we will gain more White voters because they'll eventually get tired of your stories of Trayvon Martin, the "racist" ramblings of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama. We will make it our goal to see President Barack Obama as a "one term president".

Miami Herald Unearths Controversial Shooter's MySpace Page!
We haven't forgotten about the Trayvon Martin shooting. Most in the American media, have packed up and left for the next sensational story to unfold. But down in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman, the controversial young man who shot and killed the unarmed teenager is free on a $150,000 bond. And while on bond, his legal defense is trying to scrub his track record clean, literally. It's one of those things, a person is willing to do to get at least a decent trial. But to give another clear look into Zimmerman lies within his social networking websites.
Although most people channel their feelings and lovely pictures on Facebook, MySpace still exist and George Zimmerman still remains a member.
The Miami Herald unearthed George Zimmerman's MySpace page. The controversy steam from some of his thoughts on Mexicans.
No matter how many firewalls, anti-virus protections, and malware defense mechanisms used, someone will always find a way to put your life online.
Zimmerman defends the shooting by claiming it was self-defense.
Zimmerman's defense team raised over $200 thousand dollars in legal assistance and yet the judge didn't raise his bond to the $1 million. The Martin family defense was devastated by the decision and how it was easy for Zimmerman to bond out on 10 percent.
I am shocked that on his MySpace page, he made these nasty comments about his ex-girlfriend. The one who said he had an anger management problem and accused him of throwing items at her. He bragged on his MySpace page about his homesickness to Virginia. He brags about getting a misdemeanor charge after assaulting a police officer. And yes, posted his disdain for "Mexican thugs" who run through his tires with their knives.
I am sorry, but George Zimmerman is an idiot. Add this controversy to the many other incidents that this young man's done in his three months of media scrutiny.
Would this play in the trial?
Your guess is as good as mine!
Neo Nazi Border Vigilante J.T. Ready Kills Family And Himself
| J.T. Ready. |
All these culture wars are credited to making more unease within the White Supremacy movement. They already know that it's likely President Barack Obama could win reelection.
They're aware of the changing demographics in which Hispanic/Latinos and Blacks are growing in rapid rates. Interracial births are at an all time high. The United States is becoming a little more browner. That's gotta to unravel some.
White nationalists allied with the Minutemen Border Movement patrolled the United States-Mexican border threatening and even possibly killing illegal immigrants.
J.T. Ready, a notorious figure in the White Supremacist circles lived in Arizona. A prominent fixture in Republican politics once tried to run for an Arizona County Sheriff post and was a poll watcher for elections. The often animated Ready would promote himself as the savior of the White race.
In Gilbert, Arizona, J.T. Ready killed his girlfriend, their daughter and other family members before he committed suicide.

Gilbert mass shooting: White supremacist J.T. Ready left tracks in politics
by Gary Nelson on May. 02, 2012, under Arizona Republic NewsAlong the way the barrel-chested former Marine became entwined for a time with one of the state’s most powerful political leaders and appeared on the radar of at least two national groups that track potentially violent extremist movements for his views and armed patrols of the Mexico border.
Authorities believe Ready, 39, shot and killed four people in a Gilbert home before turning a gun on himself.
Ready was allied briefly with former state Senate President Russell Pearce, and the two posed together for photographers during an anti-illegal-immigration rally at the state Capitol in June 2007. By the next year, as Ready’s ties to neo-Nazi and White supremacist groups became more apparent, Pearce disavowed him.
Pearce, who was defeated last November in a recall election, is now first vice chairman of the Arizona Republican Party and is running again for the Senate, this time from the new District 26 in Mesa.
Party spokesman Shane Wikfors said Pearce would not comment on Ready’s death. “He’s not going to want to have anything to do with him,” Wikfors said. “We categorically, absolutely had nothing to do with him.”
Marc Pitcavage, national director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League, said the group has long been aware of Ready’s activities.
The group’s website describes Ready as a “neo-Nazi and anti-immigrant extremist,” tracing his activities in Arizona from 2004 onward.
“We have monitored J.T. Ready for many years now,” Pitcavage said. It began with Ready’s early activities as a border vigilante but soon led to the realization that Ready was “a full-fledged White supremacist.”
For a time, Pitcavage said, Ready was a “mover and shaker” for the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group with about 330 members nationwide. Ready was one of the group’s two principal leaders in the Phoenix area, Pitcavage said.
An online biography of Ready includes several quotes in which he advocated restoring the country as a "White, European homeland,” called for militant action against Jews and advocated using “lawful, deadly force” when appropriate to protect the Mexican border.
Pitcavage said it would be premature to link Ready’s extreme political views to the explosion of violence that ended five lives on Wednesday. “When the shooting spree is directed toward family members, or what were essentially the closest thing he had to family members, those are usually personal rather than ideological motives,” Pitcavage said.
Ready also had been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama-based civil-rights organization that monitors hate and extremist groups. Like the ADL, the center carries a biography of Ready on its website.
It notes that Ready apparently got his start in politics as president of the Mesa Community College Republican Club and became increasingly involved in local issues in the early 2000s.
According to the SPLC biography, Ready received a bad-conduct discharge from the Marines in 1996, after being court-martialed twice — once for larceny and going AWOL, and once for conspiracy and assault.
The site also lists a 1992 criminal conviction for property damage and assault after he and a friend destroyed a car mirror with a baseball bat.
Ready ran for political office at least twice in Mesa and once as a write-in candidate for U.S. Senate. In 2004 he ran in the Republican primary for a House seat from District 18, which Pearce already represented.
In 2006 he ran for Mesa City Council from a heavily Hispanic district and finished second among four candidates.
During that council campaign, The Arizona Republic uncovered inconsistencies in the biography he had provided the newspaper and found that he had been convicted of assault in Florida when he was 18 years old.
Ready had claimed to be a founding member of the Arizona Minuteman Project, a border-vigilante group, but admitted that he was just a member, not a founder.
That campaign also featured a bizarre incident in which Ready, who earlier had solicited votes from the Hells Angels, traded shots with an illegal immigrant whom Ready believed was involved in criminal activity. Nobody was hurt.
A year later Ready caused a commotion at a Mesa City Council meeting when the mayor denied him permission to speak in opposition to a Mesa police detective who was campaigning against hate crimes.
Ready’s ties to Pearce became an issue during Pearce’s 2008 re-election campaign when a group called Mesa Deserves Better sent a mailer depicting Pearce as a friend of neo-Nazis.
Amid that campaign, three Arizona Republican congressmen sent a letter to the chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party demanding Ready’s removal as a precinct committeeman in District 18 because of his neo-Nazi ties.
By that time, Ready had been in that post for two years and was not seeking re-election. “You can’t grow a party when you’re rallying with J.T. Ready,” U.S. Rep. Jeff Flake said at the time.
But Ready apparently was trying to re-enter politics this year and had formed a committee to seek the Democratic nomination for sheriff in Pinal County.
Shortly after Ready’s death became known Wednesday afternoon, someone posted this message on his Facebook page: “Reports are unconfirmed that a cartel assassination squad murdered J.T. Ready and several of his friends and family this afternoon in Gilbert, Arizona.”
Harry Hughes, who briefly headed Ready’s campaign committee for sheriff until he was promoted in the National Socialist Movement, said, “I got an e-mail from him the other day and everything seemed fine.”
“And I’ve always said, he was generous, caring, respectful most of the time as far as with friends and acquaintances, maybe not so much people on the other side,” Hughes said.

The Soon To Be Republican Nominee Fires Conservative Agitator (Who Is Gay) After Extremist Groups Warned Of Mutiny Ahead!
| Richard Grenell, a gay conservative agitator. |
Besides the president, Mitt Romney spent a majority of his campaign beaten down his political foes within his own party.
I'll admit that most Republicans aren't satisfied with the notion of him being their nominee, but they're desperate and they'll vote for anything to defeat President Barack Obama.
After a brutal primary fight against Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, the race for the nomination has been a little bruising for the soon to be nominee Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney, the former one term governor of Massachusetts is running once again for President Of The United States. After suffering a setback in 2008, when Senator John McCain of Arizona managed to capture the Republican nomination, many thought that Mitt Romney would do it again.
Now Republicans see Mitt Romney as the one capable of beating President Barack Obama. The major concerns that face the Republican nominee, is pretty much him! Mitt Romney's inconsistencies will hurt him and Republicans are hoping that he'll eventually appeal to the Tea Party. They're hoping that when Mitt Romney secures the nomination and picks a viable running mate, the Republicans will be enthusiastic in voting for him.
But here comes the problems. The Obama campaign is going to hammer the former governor's one term record as governor. They'll find issues with his stance on issues. And the president's liberal allies will paint the former governor as an out of touch politician with statements that are inconsistent with general public. They will paint the former governor as a person willing to appeal to extremists.
Here's the kicker, a political ally who happens to be an openly gay Republican who has his share of outrageous statements is being forced out by the campaign. Richard Garnell, an openly gay conservative agitator who recently scrubbed his Twitter page after making inflammatory statements is on the firing squad after the American Family Association and other anti-gay groups warned the Romney campaign that he will face mutiny if he doesn't get rid of this guy.
Gay Romney aide steps down, citing backlash over sexuality
By Nia-Malika Henderson and Rachel Weiner, Tuesday, May 1, 8:05 PM
In a statement provided to The Washington Post, Grenell, who is openly gay, said: “While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama’s foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign.” He added: “I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.”
Grenell was a volunteer consultant to the Romney team before he was officially brought aboard, but the hiring was controversial from the start.
Shortly after Romney announced that Grenell would join his team, the former spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations was forced to remove entries from his Twitter account that some considered offensive. Grenell came under fire for a series of snarky tweets aimed at women, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow; and Callista Gingrich, the wife of GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
The tweets included posts about Clinton’s appearance, Gingrich’s hair and Maddow’s lack of jewelry,
And some longtime reporters openly complained about Grenell’s confrontational style, which sometimes included calls to editors and freezing reporters out of stories. Among Romney’s biggest champions in the twitterverse, Grenell often used his Twitter account to call out reporters and to criticize U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.
| Richard Grenell's Twitter page with offensive tweets. |
Matthew J. Franck, director of the William E. and Carol G. Simon Center on Religion and the Constitution at the Witherspoon Institute, called Grenell a “loose cannon” with a passion for the “gay agenda.”
“My problem is that by his own description he is an ardent activist for same-sex marriage who went to go work for a candidate who wants to defeat same-sex marriage. It doesn’t look good to the people that Romney needs support from to have an advocate for same-sex marriage in such a high-profile position,” Franck said. “The Romney campaign needs to be unequivocally opposed to same-sex marriage and to appear to be. The campaign has remedied a problem that was bound to get worse.”
While discussions of foreign policy have been front and center in the campaign for the White House, Grenell has been largely absent.
Last month, Eric Ferhnstrom, a senior Romney aide, welcomed Grenell to the fold with this cheeky tweet: “Welcome aboard to @RichardGrenell. Your etchasketch is in the top drawer. Storage for your sense of shame is on 3rd floor.”
The Romney team maintains that it was Grenell’s decision to leave his post.
“We are disappointed that Ric decided to resign from the campaign for his own personal reasons,” campaign manager Matt Rhoades said in a statement. “We wanted him to stay because he had superior qualifications for the position he was hired to fill.”
