Tucker Carlson Takes On Al Sharpton
Tucker Carlson has a great piece about Al Sharpton on his new website The Daily Caller. He argues that Rev. Al may be a hell of a nice guy, but a moral arbiter he is not.
In the days since, Sharpton has used his considerable PR skills to Reid’s benefit on various talk shows. Sharpton’s quotes wound up in countless news stories.
To some extent, the strategy has worked: If Al Sharpton says you’re not a racist, then what’s the problem?
For one thing, Sharpton himself. Now, I take a back seat to no man in my affection for Al Sharpton as a person and a character study (evidence here: The league of extraordinary gentlemen). Sharpton is a smart guy. In some ways he’s a good guy. But a moral arbiter? Let’s not get carried away.
You could write a book about Sharpton’s brushes with the dark side, and indeed some have. The headlines are faded but still resonant to those who lived them: Tawana Brawley, Crowne Heights, Freddie’s Fashion Mart.
If you’re too young to remember the names, spend an hour on Google and treat yourself. But for serious scholars of Sharptonalia, two episodes in particular sum up Sharpton’s public career, and at the same time (in one of my least favorite television news cliches) Raise Powerful Questions about whether he ought to be wagging a finger at anyone else.
Tucker’s article was of course prompted by the Harry Reid controversy in which Reid made his now infamous “Negro dialect” remark about Barack Obama.
Not surprisingly, Reid immediately went to Al Sharpton to seek confirmation that he was in fact not a racist.
If you’re white and find yourself involved in a racial controversy, the fastest way to get out of it is to pay homage to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. If you can secure their blessing, your soul is cleansed and all is forgotten. Just make sure you’re a Democrat.
The reality is that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are two of the most corrupt scumbags in America. They are professional shakedown artists who play civil rights leaders on TV. They make a good living by stoking racial tensions and playing the perpetual victim card.

Harry Reid Is The Latest Example Of Liberal Racial Hypocrisy
If there’s one thing we know about American politics by now it’s this. If you’re going to make racial remarks of any kind make sure you’re a Democrat.
When Democrats are caught making racial comments they simply used a “poor choice of words.” When Republicans make similar comments they’re deemed “racist.”
So it was no surprise to see Democrats immediately forgive and defend Harry Reid for comments he made privately during the last presidential campaign about Barack Obama.
Reid told fellow Democrats privately that he felt Obama would be a good candidate because he’s “light skinned” and had “no Negro dialect” unless he wanted to.
Just imagine for a moment ANY Republican saying something like that in any context to anyone at anytime. Not only would they be forced to resign, but they would have to spend the better part of a year licking Al Sharpton’s boots.
It would be a NY Times front page story. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would fly in on helicopters, break out the bull horns, and call a hasty press conference.
But when you’re a Democrat, nothing like that will happen. You simply say you’re sorry and meant no harm, and everybody goes about their business.
I’m actually in favor of that approach. I think political correctness is out of control in this country. I don’t a public lynching is in order (that’s right Al I said it) every time someone says something slightly controversial.
However, I think everyone should be held to the same standards. If we are going to continue the public lynching route, then it should apply to Democrats and Republicans alike.
Ironically, Democrats get a free pass on racial remarks when it’s their party that has done more damage to communities of color than anything or anyone else.
It’s liberal Democratic policies that have created a climate of never ending poverty, crime, and lack of education in black communities.
You think it’s a coincidence that every single urban ghetto in the United States is run by a liberal? You think it’s by accident that every single city in America that looks like a third world war zone is run by a liberal?
It’s no mistake and it’s no coincidence.
The truth is Democrats don’t really care about black people. They take them for granted as a voting block and have no interest in improving their communities.
Harry Reid has said he has no intention of stepping down in light of his remarks, but I have no problem with that.
I’m glad he’s staying, because it’s going to be that much sweeter watching him go down in flames in the elections later this year. Like the rest of the country, Nevada is sick and tired of Harry Reid.
Chicago Police May Scrap Entrance Exam To Boost Minority Hiring
As I’ve written about many times on this website, there is nothing liberals love more than diversity. Diversity at any cost. Damn the consequences — just make sure every color is represented.
There is no better example of this than what may happen in Chicago soon. A city that boasts one the highest murder rates in the country and is governed by the most corrupt politicians in the country.
So, what then could the corrupt leftists in charge possibly do to make things worse? How about scrap the police entrance exam in the name of diversity!
The Chicago Police Department is seriously considering scrapping the police entrance exam, sources tell Fran Spielman.
Dropping the exam would bolster minority hiring and avert legal battles, according to one source, while others confirm that the exam could be scrapped to open the process to as many people as possible.
However, the lack of an exam would make Chicago the lone major city without one, and experts contend that the exam is integral to eliminating unqualified applicants.
Integral to eliminating unqualified applicants? I guess those are racist code words for keeping the black man down, right?
In my opinion it’s pretty damned racist for these liberal bureaucrats to suggest the only way for people of color to achieve anything is to remove all barriers to entry. If you’re a minority you don’t need a test — your skin color makes you automatically qualified.
This social engineering experiment may result in a police department filled with incompetent, illiterate boobs — but it will certainly be colorful.
The fact that an idea as spectacularly moronic as this one could even be whispered in polite company shows how Chicago came to be the basket case it is today.
The city is flat broke and crime is out of control and this is what the stupid jerks at city hall are worried about — diversity.

This is an interesting story:
It has to be particularly difficult to be of a mixed race in China, because there aren’t really any other races in China (in any significant numbers) — and there damn sure aren’t any black people.

Congressional Black Caucus Shakes Down White House
The Marxist Congressional Black Caucus plays racial politics better than anyone. Now, they’re turning their race hustling guns on on their own president. Michelle has all the gritty details, but here’s a little taste:
The Congressional Black Caucus is trying to shake down the White House — and taxpayers — by holding a Democrat financial regulation “reform” bill hostage until Team Obama stuffs it with taxpayer goodies for a minority-owned radio station and other minority-owned businesses.
Trust me, you need to read her post. Corrupt doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Why Is MSNBC So Damn White?
In light of MSNBC’s recent discussion over the “monochromatic” appearance of Sarah Palin fans, Michelle noticed something strange about that network — they’re really, really, really, white.
Somebody needs to give these chuckleheads a lesson in diversity. Where in the hell is Rev. Sharpton when you need him?
Why is MSNBC trying to keep minorities down?
When are these white devils going to stop talking diversity and start stepping down and letting a minority take their place?
NAACP Concerned Someone ‘White’ Or ‘Irish’ Could Be Appointed Mayor Of Baltimore
The pending conviction of Baltimore Mayor Dixon on charges of theft and perjury have the NAACP worried. Not worried about corruption of course, but worried that the republican governor of Maryland could appoint someone “white” or someone “Irish” to replace the black mayor.
Marvin Cheatham, president of the Baltimore NAACP has introduced a resolution to strip the governor of his powers of appointment to prevent this nightmare scenario from happening.
Marvin L. Cheatham, the president of the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP, introduced the resolution because he heard an attorney on a radio program discussing a lack of clarity on succession if Dixon were to be convicted and sentenced.
"Our concern is who would the governor appoint?" Cheatham said. "Here you have a predominantly African-American city. What if the governor appointed somebody white? … Would he appoint someone Irish to be the mayor?"
Isn’t it amazing how blatant black racism doesn’t even raise eyebrows? Can you imagine the outcry if a white guy voiced concern that a black guy could be appointed Mayor. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would parachute in within 24 hours with bull horns blaring and picket signs waving.
Lets play a little game and see if it sounds the same. Here’s the quote from above with a couple of small changes…
"Our concern is who would the governor appoint?" Cheatham said. "Here you have a predominantly Anglo-Saxon city. What if the governor appointed somebody black? … Would he appoint someone Mexican to be the mayor?"
I don’t understand how the first statement is ok, but the second one isn’t. Both statements are equally racist.

Video: Jimmy Carter Lies About His Race Comments
Remember when Jimmy Carter went on MSLSD MSNBC and said the overwhelming majority of protests against Obama were because he was a black man? I sure as hell do, because it just happened a couple of weeks ago.
Now, the former peanut farmer tells CNN he never said that. Carter claims he said the “fringe element” were racist — not the majority.
Let’s look at the tape and see if Jimmy is being honest…

I didn’t hear anything about “fringe elements”, did you?
Now, listen to what Jimmy told CNN about the comments you just watched…
The old man is not only a fool — he’s a liar. I can’t believe she didn’t challenge him on what he said. She should have read the transcripts back or played the clip.

Audio: Maxine Waters Says Reporters Must Probe ‘Birthers’ And ‘Teabaggers’ For Racist Views
Blah, blah, blah, racist, blah, blah, racist. Someone needs to throw this race baiting bitch out of office. I don’t really give a damn if radical blacks in Congress or an incompetent failed president like Carter call me a racist.
That charge is thrown at us by the left so many times a day, it barely gets an eye roll anymore. What a shock that the word “ObamaCare” is now racist. EVERYTHING is racist. The term “socialist” was labeled racist a couple of weeks ago by radical blacks. Let’s also not forget Joe Wilson’s outburst of “you lie” has also been labeled racist.
This phony racism campaign is nothing but the last desperate gasp of a dying liberal agenda. Obama pretends to be above the fray at all times, but he’s as guilty as the rest of the losers in his party for this race crap.
President Obama never plays the race card himself, (unless his friends get arrested) he sends his minions out to shovel the shit for him.
The only people in America who won’t stop talking about race are democrats. Democrats profess to be the champions of minorities and inner city blacks when in reality they’re nothing but 21st century slave owners.
The left keep their boot heels firmly planted on the neck of every single person living in the inner city. Every single thing liberals do for the poor and downtrodden is designed to keep them poor and downtrodden.
If inner city blacks were to become educated and improve their socio-economic position the left wouldn’t have a constituency anymore. Liberals are in the business of keeping the poor right where they are.
They fight tooth and nail to keep poor black kids stuck in gang infested, drug-filled hell holes they call schools rather than allow them to attend a private school for free through a school voucher program.
Every ghetto in America is a solid 100% democratic district and they’re all disaster areas and in most cases war zones. The millions of Americans trapped in those hell holes need to take a look around and ask themselves who the real racists are.
