Pat Buchanan Says Black America’s Real Problem Isn’t White Racism Former Republican Presidential candidate turned MSNBC columnist Pat Buchanan says Black America itself is more to blame for their own deaths, criminalization and pretty much anything that paints minorities in a negative light. The GOP goon also claims that black and minorities also out-number white people in many areas on the police force. via Pat Buchanan Blog In the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous of the NAACP are calling on the black community to rise up in national protest. Yet they know — and Barack Obama, whose silence speaks volumes, knows — nothing is going to happen. “Stand-Your-Ground” laws in Florida and other states are not going to be repealed. George Zimmerman is not going to be prosecuted for a federal “hate crime” in the death of Trayvon Martin. The result of all this ginned-up rage that has produced vandalism and violence is simply going to be an ever-deepening racial divide. Consider the matter of crime and fear of crime. From listening to cable channels and hearing Holder, Sharpton, Jealous and others, one would think the great threat to black children today emanates from white vigilantes and white cops. But is this the reality in Black America? In New York from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals. According to Ray Kelly, a majority of his police force, which he has been able to cut from 41,000 officers to 35,000, is now made up of minorities. Mateo is what The New York Times would describe as “a black Hispanic” Yet he may be closer to the ‘hood than Holder, who says he was stopped by police when running to a movie — in Georgetown. Which raises a relevant question. Georgetown is an elitist enclave of a national capital that has been ruled by black mayors for half a century. It’s never had a white mayor. If interracial crime is the ugliest manifestation of racism, what does this tell us about where racism really resides — in America? Today, 73 percent of all black kids are born out of wedlock. Growing up, these kids drop out, use drugs, are unemployed, commit crimes and are incarcerated at many times the rate of Asians and whites — or Hispanics, who are taking the jobs that used to go to young black Americans. Are white vigilantes or white cops really Black America’s problem? Is this more GOP goon babble? Or does Pat have a point? Let’s discuss.
Poor Omarosa’s mom . That judge said…FOH. Omarosa’s Mom Denied Restraining Order Being a drama queen comes natural for Omarosa and now we know why..the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. How the phuck you look the judge in the eye and swear that Claudia Jordan is a threat with her chicken arms? You need more people Mrs. Manigault. According to TMZ Omarosa’s mom got shut down in court — a judge slammed the door on her attempt to get a restraining order against ex-”Celebrity Apprentice” star Claudia Jordan … for now. Theresa Manigault filed her request for the restraining order last week … just a few days after she and Claudia got into the most ridiculous, and childish fight ever on the BET Awards red carpet. TMZ broke the story … Claudia claimed Omarosa’s 65-year-old mother punched her in the arm — while Omarosa claimed Claudia’s the one who shoved her mom. In her court filing, mama Manigault describes the incident this way: “She started to use profanity at me. As I was walking the carpet, she began to be physically aggressive” … and used “her shoulder to try to knock me off balance.” Mortal combat, right? Clearly, the judge didn’t see any immediate threat because according to the documents … Mom’s request to keep Claudia 20 yards away was denied. Omarosa’s mother will get a chance to restate her case during a hearing on July 24. And the fight happened at the BET Awards…go figure. SMH.
Kim Kardashian made sure her man’s first-ever Father’s Day was a memorable one this year. Kanye West revealed via Twitter that his baby mama gifted him with two Apple computer mice last month, one signed by Steve Jobs and and the other by Steve Wozniak. Their relevance? West told The New York Times recently that his is the Steve Jobs of the Internet . Kanye included the photo above along with his Tweet, one of just seven he has written since May. The entire World Wide Web, of course, continues to wait on photos of North West , as West and Kardashian remain oddly quiet and private regarding their newborn. We hope everything is alright.

For 99 cents you can be freed from your box-chasing, backdoor bandit mentality…SMH SmartPhone App Claims It Can Cure Gay People A gay equality website has taken on the task of starting a petition to get this app removed from the Google store. Via AllOut Gay ‘cures’? There shouldn’t be an app for that. But, there’s a new one called “Setting Captives Free,” available in both the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores, meant to teach you how to stop being gay. It’s a 60-day course that tells gay people they are not “born this way” and offers to help them find “freedom from the bondage of homosexuality.” These so-called treatments can cause terrible harm to lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people, or anyone forced to try to change who they are or who they love. Apple and Google have policies against these kinds of apps but so far this one has escaped their notice. Sign now to tell them to drop this and all other gay ‘cure’ apps! If you are outraged and want your voice to be heard you can sign the petition HERE Image via AllOut Continue reading →
This product has two major issues:1. While it’s description claims it has a 2 Amp port and a 1 Amp port, the reality is that it has bridged the two ports and it can only source 2 Amps total. It is not capable of delivering 3 Amps combined like the description implicitly claims and could never simultaneously charge an iPad and a smart phone. (UPDATE: The technical details section now indicates more clearly the 2A total, which is appreciated.)2. The 2 Amp port appears to be using the Apple p
First, the price on these are right. Currently Amazon is selling the set for $13.Second, they work. You can’t ask for more. Low price and it does the job.Now add in the fact that both are high quality cables and feel pretty rugged, and you have an amazing deal from Amazon.Comparing the HDMI to the Monoprice cable I have, the Amazon cable doesn’t have the crazy jacket that the Monoprice I bought does (think I bought in wall cables like an idiot), but both provide flawless picture and sound thr
Friends, Navy, and countrymen lend us your eyes… Robyn Fenty was seen galavanting around the Big Apple in some type of Oreo cookie lookin’ outfit and some google Chanel shades that look like she could have stolen them from A$AP Rocky’s wardrobe. We’re not mad at the ebony and ivory color combo, but it looks a lil sloppily put together. What do YOU think about Rih-Rih’s rags? Image via Splash
