Race and American Exceptionalism

Original Article

This past Thursday evening at the University of Buffalo (UB) I was invited by the Young America's Foundation Chapter at UB to deliver a presentation on “Race and American Exceptionalism.” Before I even arrived, the nature of my visit was made controversial when students on the campus ripped down flyers and even conducted a campus walking protest. Therefore, I knew this would be quite the hostile environment. The question I have is, why? Why is it controversial for a 61-year-old black man who was born in a blacks only hospital in the South to discuss said topic?

The left has an agenda. It supercedes the truth and fact. It's easier to believe a lie than to accept that you've been lied to.

Why? asks Alan West. The best answer seems to me that present day college students major in ignorance.

FTA: "(These young black students) seek to be embraced as perpetual victims, never to be a victor. They cast aside the achievements of those who do not gladly welcome their delusion." If one accepts that MLK was a proponent of racial integration, the change to "commercial" civil rights activism began with his assassination, with Jesse Jackson picking up the bloody mantle - and we all know where he took the movement. Others followed the track to riches and fame. They're well known because they are holding down their race while profiting nicely and from "raising them up". The suckers flock, the "guilty" kowtow. The Community is what it is today because of black separatism, a full 180 degrees from MLK's "Promised Land" vision for black America.

Bottom line - claiming victimhood enables American blacks to live whatever violent, entitled, evil, delusional lives they want without having to take any responsibility for their actions.

Joe Manchin Torches Biden's 'Putin Price
Hike' Inflation Excuse in Scathing Statement

Posted by ladydawgfan 4/12/2022 6:58:52 PM Post Reply
At least one Democrat isn’t giving President Joe Biden a free pass for overseeing the worst inflation in 40 years. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia issued a scathing statement on the development on Tuesday, rejecting Biden’s attempts to invoke political excuses for the price squeezes on middle-class Americans. “Let me be clear, inflation is a tax, and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control,” Manchin said. Manchin directly criticized Biden’s administration for failing to provide solutions to the problem, instead looking for someone to blame. “When will this end?

Gilbert Gottfried, the actor and legendary standup comic known for his raw, scorched voice and crude jokes, has died. He was 67. Gottfried died from recurrent ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II, a disorder that affects the heart, his publicist and longtime friend Glenn Schwartz said in a statement. His family shared the sad news Tuesday on his Twitter account. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness,” they said. “In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children.

A flying object collided with President Joe Biden as he spoke on energy policy at an Iowa ethanol plant on Tuesday. Americans questioned what the mysterious white substances could’ve been, with most spectators eventually coming to a likely conclusion. It appears that a bird delivered a “dive bomb” of sorts directly on the shoulder of the President of the United States. [Video] Biden was only slightly fazed by the aerial attack, continuing on with his speech after a glance at his left shoulder. The venue in which Biden gave his speech, POET Bioprocessing in Menlo, Iowa, was an indoor space.

On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the world was warned that billions would die soon because of a disastrous ice age. The Earth had been cooling for thirty years and it was about to get much worse. Crops would not survive the ice age so the people couldn’t be fed, The Earth was cooling even though CO2, the population, and fossil fuel consumption was rising rapidly, which we are told causes warming. The complicit media dutifully repeated these warnings to scare the public with no questions and no research. The warnings were 100% wrong because they were WAGS (wild a** guesses) instead of based on scientific data.

Very few Americans believe the nation is doing “very well” under President Joe Biden’s leadership, a Sunday CBS News poll revealed. Only 7 percent of Americans believe the country is doing very well, while 33 percent say the nation is doing very badly. On the economy, nine percent of Americans say Biden’s national economy is doing very well. Thirty-one percent said it is doing very badly. On whether Biden is doing enough to reduce 40-year-high inflation, only 31 percent say he is, while 69 percent say he is not. Biden’s approval with independents is also struggling. Only 12 percent of independents strongly approve of the president. Forty-one percent strongly disapprove.

President Joe Biden has no plans to visit Kyiv as his British counterpart Boris Johnson did over the weekend, drawing raves for his surprise appearance and the message that his stroll through the streets of Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent to Moscow. Instead, Biden will sit in Washington, D.C. where he will monitor the situation on a daily basis, according to a top White House aide. The “leader” of the free world was one-upped by U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson who ventured into the heart of a war zone while Biden spent yet another weekend laying low at his home in Delaware,

Don’t you love a Sunday afternoon feel-good story about the Second Amendment? A Dale County, Ala. man called the police a little after 6 a.m. on Wednesday to report that a person was trying to break into his home. [Tweet] When police arrived, they found a broken window through which the thug had tried to enter. They also found the thug on the ground, weighing roughly 25 grams more than he did when he arrived, having been shot once in the head by the homeowner. The would-be intruder was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition.

Once upon a time, the mantra of the libertarian Left was "keep the government out of the bedroom." President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi want to regulate any gadget or appliance with an electric switch that turns on in your house or your driveway. New Department of Energy rules will dictate the amount of water that comes out of your showerhead, how much warm air comes out of your heater and how much cool air comes out of air conditioners. There is even talk about gadgets monitoring your home's temperature in the winter and summer months. How is any of this the government's business? The latest shower regulations are especially aggravating.

At what point do people stop doubting Ron DeSantis? The critics said the Florida governor couldn’t win the battle over Critical Race Theory. They said he couldn’t ban mask mandates in schools. They said the Parental Rights in Education law would be his undoing. And yet, DeSantis just keeps coming out smelling like roses, and the latest example of that may be one of his most important victories yet. The battle over redistricting has raged in Florida for months now, with even Republicans in the legislature doing their level best to surrender and hand Democrats a nearly status-quo result.

Democrats shouldn’t have dished it out if they couldn’t take it. As it appears more likely that Republicans will retake the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate, discussions of impeaching President Joe Biden are becoming more prevalent on the right. However, not everyone is keen on the idea. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently warned against impeaching President Biden when they retake the House. As calls for Biden’s impeachment are increasing on the right, it appears the lawmaker is signaling that he would not lend his support to such an endeavor. He might want to rethink this one.

Bidenomics. It’s a beautiful thing. If you’re Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, that is. On Planet Biden, you — if the “you” is Biden — can have it both ways. You can lie your head off about “record job growth” and “record GDP growth” out of one side of your face, then turn around and out of the other side of your face, lament the heavy burden facing “everyday Americans” due to a “still recovering economy,” which was only bad in the first place because Trump. Then again, everything wrong in America is because Trump. Except for stuff that is because Putin, of course.

The majority of voters are blaming increased prices at the pump on Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil companies more than energy policies from President Biden and Democrats, according to a new poll. An ABC News/Ipsos survey released over the weekend showed that 71% of voters placed a great deal or good amount of blame on Mr. Putin for his invasion of Ukraine and 68% said the same for oil companies. The majority of respondents still placed some degree of blame on Mr. Biden (51%) and Democratic policies (52%).

There can be little doubt that former Vice President Mike Pence thought he was doing the right thing. There are certainly many pragmatic reasons for his decision to not intervene in the electoral processes during those fateful days in January 2020. We’re a year and a half into the geriatric Biden regime and those pragmatic reasons are quickly losing their luster.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) says he hasn’t decided whether to run for reelection in 2024, when he could be on the same ballot as Donald Trump if the former president seeks another bid for the White House. Romney has cast several high-profile votes putting him at odds with the GOP base — including two votes to convict Trump on impeachment charges. He became the first senator in history to convict a president of his own party in an impeachment trial in 2020. Just last week, Romney was one of only three Republicans to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

SEATTLE – Seattle’s Link Light Rail is a freeloader’s paradise. There are no turnstiles, so passengers are supposed to either buy a ticket or tap their pre-paid card. But so few riders are paying, fares are currently covering just 5% of the system’s operating costs, a fraction of the 40% mark Sound Transit set as a requirement. At a recent Sound Transit Board meeting, the outgoing CEO summed up the situation. "Our fare collection system relies overwhelmingly on an honor system," Peter Rogoff said, "and our increasingly acute problem is that our riders aren’t honoring the system." By one measurement

Atlanta—The National Urban League released its annual report on the State of Black America on Tuesday, and its findings are grim. This year’s Equality Index shows Black people still get only 73.9% of the American pie white people enjoy. While Black people have made economic and health gains, they’ve slipped further behind white people in education, social justice and civic engagement since this index was launched in 2005. A compendium of average outcomes by race in many aspects of life, it shows just how hard it is for people of color to overcome systemic racism, the civil rights organization says.(Snip)The index shows not only that the median household

A new bill being discussed in the state assembly would see the official working week reduced from 40 hours to 32 for companies with 500 employees of more. Any work carried out beyond the 32-hour limit would run into overtime and be paid at time-and-a-half, while those working more than 12 hours a day or for more than seven days a week would be paid double their normal wage.(Snip)Employers would also be forbidden from reducing the workers' current salaries simply because they are working less.

“Joy, immortal incandescence Daughter of Elysium! Breathing fire from your presence To your temple ground we come.” This is the invocation of joy that begins Friedrich Schiller’s great Ode, whose first three stanzas were set by Beethoven in the final movement of his 9th Symphony. Baltimore Symphony conductor Marin Alsop has replaced them with doggerel from a local rapper. She explained to Baltimore magazine: You know, the [Friedrich] Schiller poetry is phenomenal, but it’s not relevant for us today.

As the archdiocese of Malta openly admitted, “The podium will not be adorned with a crucifix, given that the majority of migrants are Muslim.” Instead, the podium backdrop used by Francis consisted of recycled plastic bottles with red blobs meant to highlight the two primary reasons Francis was visiting Malta -- to defend migrants and the environment:
