Meanwhile, upstairs or downstairs, George Floyd do a big facepalm when he saw that photo. :story:

Btw, lots of SJWs as well as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will hate that article from American Thinker about the NAACP who tell an inconvenient truth.

How the NAACP Lets Down American Blacks​

By Seth Grossman

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is holding its 113th National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Its media release claims its “workshops and discussions” will “promote solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing Black communities.” It identified four of those issues as “voter suppression, student debt, police brutality and reproductive rights.”

Do those four issues relate to any of the real causes of unequal poverty, violence, and misery in Black communities today?
Don’t Black Americans consistently vote in higher number than almost any other racial or ethnic or racial group in almost every election? Isn’t most “student debt” incurred by white students who obtain masters and doctorate degrees? And besides, isn’t “student debt” really a secondary issue? Aren’t obscenely high and unsustainable college tuitions and fees the real problem?

Is “police brutality” the cause of violence and anger in Black communities? Or are police called in to deal with the violence and anger of far too many young black men? Thomas Sowell described and explained them in his 2005 book Black Rednecks and White Liberals.

Finally, why are “reproductive rights” a “pressing issue” for Black Americans. In 2017, the most recent year I could document, there were 851,000 abortions and 3,855,500 live births in America. Roughly 18% of all pregnancies in America ended with an abortion. However, among Black Americans, there were 295,000 abortions and 870,000 live births. Roughly 34% of all Black pregnancies ended in abortion. How have black communities benefitted from this since 1973? Supporting “reproductive rights” mean opposing a movement that questions and seeks to limit mass produced abortions used as birth control, including barbaric abortions in the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy? How does that benefit Black communities?
Meanwhile, these four issues seem far more pressing:
1. More than 64% of all Black children in America are raised in one-parent families. That is more than three times higher than the percentage of one-parent households for any other racial or ethnic group in the world.
2. Each year, roughly 10,000 Black Americans are murdered or otherwise deliberately killed each year, almost entirely by other Black Americans.
3. According to the Department of Education’s National Assessment of Educational Progress, 84 percent of Black students lack prohficiency in mathematics and 85 percent of Black students lack proficiency in reading skills.
4. Almost every NAACP workshop and discussion in some way blames whites for every failure of blacks to achieve equality in America. Stephen R. Covey in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People observed that most people who succeed in reaching their goals are “pro-active.” They focus on things they can control, such as their attitude, education, skills to learn, enthusiasm, habits, useful hobbies, etc. Those who fail tend to be “reactive” and blame others for their situation. Are the NAACP and white and Black Democrats promoting a “reactive” culture of failure in the black community?

Black Lives Matter: Black Supremacists​

By John Leonard


On July 14, Minneapolis police shot and killed twenty-year-old Tekle Sundberg after a six-hour standoff that included multiple shots by the "victim" being fired into the apartment of a young woman and her two small children. This was because Tekle Sundberg was trying to kill her. Yet according to attorney Ben Crump, Tekle was a "smart, loving, and artistic" young man "experiencing a mental health crisis." The photo accompanying Crump's call to action showed Tekle wearing white, the color of innocence, while smiling for the camera. However, a second photo in the Twitter feed displayed another side of Tekle's character as he held two pistols and a bag of contraband while playfully posing for the camera.

Crump demanded ANSWERS (his capitalization, not mine) from the Minneapolis police about how they conducted themselves during the standoff. He also posted videos of the grieving adoptive parents blaming the police for killing their son "unnecessarily" and called for people to protest at the scene of the crime, which they did. Tekle's white parents claimed that the police promised they wouldn't shoot him (a curious claim to make in an active shooter situation, to be sure) and predictably suggested that their son would still be alive if he were white. However, the police reported that whenever they tried to have the father speak to Tekle, the young man turned his music up full blast and screamed at them.
Just how disgusting can Tekle's parents get? Zero sympathy was expressed for their son's intended victim or her children. Their son was actively trying to murder his neighbor when the police finally shot and killed him, more than six hours after the standoff began, and still they blame the police. If Tekle had been white, the only difference in the outcome is that the cops most likely wouldn't have waited six hours before they finally shot and killed him. The man was spraying live rounds into another apartment, trying to kill its inhabitants, which, in my opinion, forfeits his right to continue breathing.

Say the name "George Floyd," and people bow their heads in reverence for the petty criminal, who died while in police custody from an officer "kneeling on his neck" until he suffocated — which didn't happen, but don't tell that to Officer Derek Chauvin, because he's in prison for allegedly killing Floyd. Now say the name "Tony Timpa." Who? Minneapolis police officers went to prison for detaining Floyd with a controversial hold for nine minutes. Dallas police officers held Tony Timpa with the very same hold for almost fourteen minutes, and, like Floyd, Timpa died. Why have there been no media reports of Timpa's death like the reports on George Floyd? Well, Tony Timpa was a white man.

If Timpa's story failed to move you, what about Edward Bronstein? Two months before George Floyd died, the very same thing happened to Bronstein — cops kneeled on him, and he died. What happened to the officers in the Timpa and Bronstein cases? Nothing.
Obviously, police brutality isn't the real issue for Black Lives Matter. Nor does the innocence or guilt of the candidate for martyrdom matter. Skin color is all that matters to Black Lives Matter. It doesn't hurt if you have a criminal record, too.

Seventy-five percent of the people killed by the police each year are white, Asian, or Hispanic. Twenty-five percent of the suspects killed by police are black. If anything, police have become more reluctant to engage with and subdue a violent black offender out of fear that Black Lives Matter and Ben Crump will marshal the forces of evil against them, and that reluctance puts even more lives at risk.

Not only does BLM always side against the police, but the group frequently sides against the black victims of black criminal thugs. Apparently, only black criminals aren't supposed to get shot, no matter what they've done. In stark contrast, innocent black women and children are fair game. If you are a young black criminal, you're untouchable as far as Black Lives Matter is concerned. Black Lives Matter doesn't care about people. It cares only about power. The people behind Black Lives Matter don't care about black lives in general; they care about only the lives of dangerous black criminals and buying expensive real estate in rich white neighborhoods.

I’ve been holding out on watching Eddie Murphy’s stand up for a while, and this weekend I’m preparing myself to do it. You’ll never see a comedian like him again in this climate.
