Matt Agorist: Shock Video Shows Cops Run Down Man With Cruiser, Severely Beat Him, Charge Him With Assault
Can we all agree these cops are racist? Surveillance cameras reveal the truth. Two Philly cops have been charged with the assault of a man after surveillance footage revealed the officers lied about the incident. The laundry list of charges that Officers Kevin Robinson and Sean McKnight are facing is lengthy: Aggravated Assault, Simple ... MORERight From The Dashcam: Seattle PD’s Arrest Of Black Man Is Every Problem With The Justice System In A Nutshell
A law unto themselves. If there were a video and accompanying story that could be used as a
textbook example of every problem with our criminal justice system, this
is it. First, watch the cruiser cam video (you only need watch from
1:40 to 7:40). What the video shows is Wingate standing motionless at the crosswalk and Officer Whitlatch ... MOREWalter E Williams: Liberals' Use Of Black People - Part II
Life on the liberal plantation. Last week's column focused on the ways liberals use blacks in pursuit of their leftist agenda, plus their demeaning attitudes toward black people. Most demeaning are their double standards. It was recently reported that Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the House majority whip, spoke at a 2002 gathering hosted by ... MOREThomas Sowell: Who's Responsible?
Playing fast and loose with the race card. The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police. Those cheap shots ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black Progression And Retrogression
What if racism is not the problem? There is no question, though it's not acknowledged enough, that black Americans have made greater gains, over some of the highest hurdles and in a very short span of time, than any other racial group in mankind's history. What's the evidence? If black Americans were thought of as a nation with their own gross ... MOREWalter E Williams: Can Racial Discrimination Explain Much?
Rationalization is not reason. In the medical profession, there is the admonition primum non nocere, the Latin expression for "first, do no harm." In order not to do harm, at the minimum, requires accurate diagnostics. Suppose a patient presents with abdominal pains, and the physician diagnoses it as caused by the patient's ingrown ... MOREEmily Elkins: Why Police Officers Keep Claiming Their Unarmed Victims Had Guns, and What We Can Do About It
The undue influence of stereotypes. Police officers keep claiming that they genuinely thought their
unarmed victims had lethal weapons. Ferguson police officer Darren
Wilson, who shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown,
claims in his grand jury testimony that Brown put his right
hand “under his shirt in his waistband” and then lunged at ... MORE'Acting White' Remains a Barrier for Black Education
by John McWhorter. Here we go
again. A black woman has articulately battled
the idea that using standard English is "acting white" in a
video that has gone viral of late, and
Jamelle Bouie at Slate has called her out for propagating a
myth that black students devalue school. In the eighties, (black)
anthropologist John Ogbu
with Signithia ... MOREPoll: 51% Of Dems Support Criminalizing Hate Speech
First Amendment is so yesterday. Note: Hate speech, not hate crimes. YouGov asked people about hate crimes for its poll too and found bipartisan support for the federal law that provides steeper penalties for crimes motivated by hatred of the victim’s race, religion, gender, or national origin. Sixty-four percent of Dems gave thumbs-up to ... MOREWalter E Williams: Do Statistical Disparities Mean Injustice?
The truth behind the numbers. How many times have we heard laments such as "women are 50 percent of the population but only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs" and, as the Justice Department recently found, "blacks are 54 percent of the population in Newark, New Jersey, but 85 percent of pedestrian stops and 79 percent of arrests"? ... MORE8 Ridiculous Laws That Stop People From Helping Others
by Nick Sibilla. No good deed goes unpunished. Dr. Elizabeth Gohl was a dentist in the U.S.
Navy for five years, where she performed hundreds of teeth extractions
on sailors. She left the Navy and moved to Arkansas, where she wanted to
extract teeth for free at a charity event. But the state said no. Even though she is a licensed dentist and an orthodontist, a bizarre law kept her from volunteering. Arkansas is just one of eight states that ban orthodontists from performing basic dental services, like cleaning or removing teeth. The law also ... MOREWalter E Williams: White Privilege
The propaganda and lunacy is deepening in schools. What would you think if your 8-year-old came home and told you that "white privilege is something that white people have, meaning they have an advantage in a lot of things and they can get a job more easily"? You would have heard that at the recent 15th annual White ... MOREWalter E Williams: A Lesson On Racial Discrimination
Open markets destroy racism. Donald Sterling, Los Angeles Clippers owner, was recorded by his mistress making some crude racist remarks. Since then, Sterling's racist comments have dominated the news, from talk radio to late-night shows. A few politicians have weighed in, with President Barack Obama congratulating the NBA for its ... MOREAmerica: Where It's Dangerous To Think
by Barry Farber. The lynch mob blasted through town amid the cheers and unconditional surrender of all the inhabitants; at least almost all. In their triumphal rage they trashed traditions that had made America famous and successfully replaced those traditions with something awful for America. If Thomas Jefferson were alive, he’d drop dead! ... MOREJohn Stossel: Offensive Speech
We need more speech, not less. Last week, when the NBA banned racist team owner Donald Sterling, some said: "What about free speech? Can't a guy say what he thinks anymore?" The answer: yes, you can. But the free market may punish you. In America today, the market punishes racists aggressively. This punishment is not "censorship." ... MOREDonald Sterling And What We're Learning About Privacy
by Mitch Albom. Now that Donald Sterling has been banned, fined and condemned — the proper, if ugly, conclusion, in my mind — we should discuss how it happened. Most of us don't need to worry about angry mistresses, Department of Justice investigations, discrimination lawsuits and a history of bigoted comments. But all of us need to worry ... MORE
