A coin toss is racist

Another issue ripped from today’s screaming headlines.

From the UKIndependent.com:

Winter Olympics 2018: Shani Davis suggests decision to make Erin Hamlin US flag bearer was racially motivated

by Ian Ransom

American speed skater posted on Twitter that the toss of a coin decision was ‘dishonourable’ before adding the hash tag ‘BlackHistoryMonth’ after he skipped the opening ceremony

American luger Erin Hamlin said it was “too bad” that there was disappointment about her carrying the United States’ flag at the 2018 Winter Olympics opening ceremony and that any athlete would have felt honoured to accept the task.

Bronze medallist Hamlin was awarded the flag over Shani Davis by the toss of a coin, angering the twice Olympic champion speed skater who became the first black athlete to claim an individual medal in 2006.

The flag-bearer is chosen by a vote of the eight US winter sports federations but the result was tied at 4-4 between Hamlin and Davis and a coin was used to break the tie, in keeping with United States Olympic Committee [USOC] rules.

Okay. Anyone can be disappointed by losing a coin toss to represent the United States. I get it. Olympians are competitive.

But wait; there’s more.

Hamlin, who will retire after the Games, became the first American female luger to win an Olympic medal when she won bronze in Sochi four years ago.

Davis had tweeted that the coin toss was a “dishonorable” method to decide and added the hashtag “BlackHistoryMonth2018”, suggesting racial bias was involved. He declined to march at the opening ceremony.

Okay, so a puerile, jejune competitor decides to “sit out” the opening of the 2018 Winter Olympics because he lost a coin toss? No, actually it’s much more than that. It’s the underlying foundation of why he made the decision and proffered his statements.

It’s because he feels entitled to do so due to recent actions by black NFL players and Colin Kaepernick. It’s because he knows it’s the “milk run” of retorts. It’s also because of two additional factors: he has insufficient intelligence to make an otherwise cogent rebuttal and, finally, he exposes his own racism.

It’s the easiest route of a racist lout.

Sorry, it really doesn’t get more complicated than that.

And it’s so damned tedious.

Allowing the law to work isn’t sufficient for the Racist-In-Chief

Mr Obama has proven that statement correct — regarding the border in just one example — time and again.  Mr Obama in His Imperial Majestic Might decrees just which laws make sense and which laws he can abrogate with impunity.

Obama Executive Powers GraphicHis executive decision regarding the border was just one major case in point.  What he doesn’t care for, he re-creates or ignores.  But the law, for an alleged “constitutional scholar” such as Mr Obama, exists only for the convenience of himself.  The law, truly, is for the “little people” to obey, not someone as swooping and magnificently gifted as Mr Obama.

The grand jury has spoken in St Louis County, Missouri.  Mr Obama cannot abide by that decision and it sticks in his craw — just as the Simpson decision stuck in the craw of much of America.  OJ AcquittalBut there was no rioting on the part of Caucasoids; there was jubilance in the streets on behalf of quite a number of blacks.  The division was clear: jury nullification was an expected prop to pull out when necessary and racist Caucasoids could go straight to Hell, hoisted as they were on the petard of their own smarmy “rule of law.”

Law spoke last Monday and the Obama Spite House wasn’t having it.  Prior to the decision Mr Obama and Mr Holder sent — quite literally — hundreds of FBI agents to Ferguson and the surrounding area.  Their job was not to buttress local law enforcement for anticipated riots or backstop the national guard in order to keep local residents and property safe.  Oh no.  The FBI wouldn’t deign to dirty its hands in such a manner; that’s not its job.

The FBI was sent to Ferguson in order to begin preliminary investigations into the application of a 42 USC 1983 action against now-resigned Ferguson PD Officer Darren Wilson personally, and to determine if the Ferguson Police Department is in itself inherently racist requiring either dismantling, federal monitoring via order or takeover by another agency.

The law spoke and Mr Obama isn’t having it.

As the UKDailyMailonline writes:

The White House is pushing a new torrent of public messages about the death of Brown, a young black man, at the hands of white officer Darren Wilson.

Further:

President Barack Obama will meet with controversial black pastor and MSNBC host Al Sharpton on Monday at the White House, and plans to issue a $263 million executive order putting body-worn cameras in more U.S. police departments in response to the August police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

Meetings with cabinet officials, with a group of ‘young local and national civil rights leaders,’ and with top law enforcement officials are on the president’s official Monday schedule.

Right.  Just as Mr Obama met with Sgt James Crowley during the “Beer Summit” where Obama had already declared the officer and the department involved as “acting stupidly” before all the facts were in.

Why all this?  Easy answer: because Obama believes the law is wrong and he is going to punish Wilson and punish Ferguson PD, the facts be damned.

Because he can.  And make no mistake: he will.

As I wrote on November 15th (well worth reading for a summary), I am tired of blacks playing the “race card” when it is politically expedient.  It is a wolf’s cry that diminishes true racism.  Racism that can be bidirectional as well — that too few will call.  But I will.  I am beyond tired of being stereotyped as a racist because I am conveniently Caucasoid, male, older and worse yet, a cop.  I am tired of being told that only Caucasoids can be racist when, in fact, there are multiple continuing examples of racism by a group of persons whom many believe, by dint of melanin count, cannot be racist.  And that is crap is well.

True equality runs both ways.  And until it does and the bullshit hypocrisy stops, I shall continue to provide pushback when and how I deem fit.

The more Obama and Holder and the AMM write and talk speciously and skew facts, the more I shall provide pushback.  Because the media and Obama and Holder just happened to get the facts wrong a number of times, and certainly wrong with regard to Ferguson — but that didn’t stop them from disseminating an incorrect meme far and wide that resulted in Ferguson businesses torched and demolished.

Gosh, that almost sounds a tad bit like Benghazi, doesn’t it?

Mr Obama, have you no shame?

More on Racist General Eric Holder: DOJ vs law enforcement

From Townhall.com:

EXCLUSIVE: In Scathing Letter to Obama, Former FBI Assistant Director Slams Holder as “Chief Among Antagonists” in Ferguson

by Katie Pavlich

As the Senate prepares to hold confirmation hearings for new Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch and as outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder continues to allocate Department of Justice resources to the situation in Ferguson, former FBI Assistant Director and Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund President Ron Hosko has sent a scathing letter to President Obama detailing the damage done to the relationship between law enforcement and DOJ over the past six years.

Let me be immediately blunt: Eric Holder believes that the US is a “nation of cowards” (2009) when it comes to the topic of race.  He says “I think we are still a nation that is too afraid to confront racial issues.”  In this issue I happen to think Holder is correct but for wildly different reasons.  GOWPs (Guilty Overeducated White People) are afraid to speak of racial issues out of fear.  Fear of being branded as a racist — which is a label that can affect both work and private aspects of an individual’s life.  A Caucasoid’s life, specifically.  Holder, on the other hand, means it this way: most all Caucasoids are racists.  And any conversations expressed or implied by Eric Holder, his DOJ and Mr Obama are certainly one-way only.  They speak; you listen and shut up if you’re Caucasoid.

Former FBI Assistant Director Ron Hosko continues:

“The hyper-politicization of justice issues has made it immeasurably more difficult for police officers to simply do their jobs. The growing divide between the police and the people – perhaps best characterized by protesters in Ferguson, Mo., who angrily chanted, “It’s not black or white. It’s blue!” – only benefits of members of a political class seeking to vilify law enforcement for other societal failures. This puts our communities at greater risk, especially the most vulnerable among us,” Hosko wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by Townhall. “Your attorney general, Eric Holder, is chief among the antagonists. During his tenure as the head of the Department of Justice, Mr. Holder claims to have investigated twice as many police and police departments as any of his predecessors. Of course, this includes his ill-timed decision to launch a full investigation into the Ferguson Police Department at the height of racial tensions in that community, throwing gasoline on a fire that was already burning. Many officers were disgusted by such a transparent political maneuver at a time when presidential and attorney general leadership could have calmed a truly chaotic situation.”

Director Hosko is entirely correct.  Both Holder and Obama have and continue to take paths of lesser resistance when the issues involve race and blacks in America.  There are clear incidents at which to point.

This, then, is a highly important paragraph in the article:

In August, Holder sent Department of Justice officials from the Civil Rights Division and dozens of FBI agents to Ferguson to investigate the case before the official autopsy was conducted and nearly suggested in a statement that Officer Wilson was guilty of a crime before any evidence was produced.

The local grand jury has not returned a True Bill against Officer Wilson.  The autopsy report has not yet been officially released to the public.  Yet the American media and Leftists and our DC administration, the US DOJ, acted — is acting — as though the situation is cut and dried: Michael Brown was shot for no reason other than an individual officer’s racial animus.

What a load of crap.

“It won’t be long before the American people turn their attention to other matters. Long after Ferguson is forgotten, police officers across America will still remember the way their senior federal executives turned their back on them with oft-repeated suggestions that race-based policing drives a biased, broken law enforcement agenda,” Hosko continued.

If you recall, this is the same Mr Holder who very pointedly failed to even consider an investigation into Philadelphia Black Panther members standing before voting places with weapons in hand as documented on a viral video.  That set the tone for racial issues under Holder’s administration at DOJ.  And his racial bias.

Self-described Communist Van Jones (former Green Jobs advisor) typified Mr Obama as being “forced” into a meeting with “racist” Cambridge PD Sgt James Crowley, following the arrest of Henry Louis Gates    This is the same Van Jones who blamed “white polluters and white environmentalists” for “steering poison” into urban minority communities.

Let us not forget, regarding the arrest of Henry Gates — who is black — that it was Mr Obama himself who threw around various labels — prior to the facts being all in — regarding the Cambridge Police Department and Sgt Crowley.  From Breitbart.com:

After word of the arrest broke, the President weighed in during a press conference saying that while he didn’t have all the facts, “the Cambridge police acted stupidly.” The White House quickly tried to walk back the remark.

This White House, this president and Eric Holder have a history of making racial accusations prior to the facts being established, and their racial bias taints aspects of their politics, besides other base motivations.  That much is clear.  And, frankly, racist.

Holder appears to believe that cops are racist in nature and deserving of few of the rights afforded most other United States citizens.  As in: assuming the Ferguson Police Department in Missouri is racist in nature as is Police Officer Darren Wilson.  It is this that sours the relationship between the US DOJ and law enforcement around the nation.

I’ve had people tell me both to my face and in e-mails that I appear to concentrate far too much time and effort on “so-called racism in blacks” which, therefore, makes them very uncomfortable with me.  I have been told that these posts receive few or no comments because readers don’t want to be associated with the topic.  I have been told that my current “posting trend” (as it was called) with regard to this issue and that of Islam is tending to make people stray from my blog in any event, and that is why the number of hits to BZ has been plummeting markedly.  In truth, the opposite is occurring; my hits are expanding.

Why have I been writing so much about these two issues?  Easy answer: because I am tired of paragraphs like this from Eric Holder:

“There’s a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that’s directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC, citing “people talking about taking their country back” as an example.

I am tired of blacks playing the “race card” when it is politically expedient.  It is a wolf’s cry that diminishes true racism.  Racism that can be bidirectional as well — that too few will call.  But I will.  I am beyond tired of being stereotyped as a racist because I am conveniently Caucasoid, male, older and worse yet, a cop.  I am tired of being told that only Caucasoids can be racist when, in fact, there are multiple continuing examples of racism by a group of persons whom many believe, by dint of melanin count, cannot be racist.  And that is crap is well.

True equality runs both ways.  And until it does and the bullshit hypocrisy stops, I shall continue to provide pushback when and how I deem fit.

FBI Assistant Director Hosko makes an excellent point.

I will continue to make mine.

And the racist blacks just keep on coming, now from Ferguson

From TheGatewayPundit.com:

‘Peaceful’ #Ferguson Protesters Beat College Student & Chase Him Down Street Screaming

by Jim Hoft

The Ferguson protest movement held a meeting tonight at St. Mark Family Church on Glen Owen Drive.

The protesters took time out from their meeting to beat a college student.
Then they chased him down the street screaming.

Finally the man was rescued at the local Walgreens.

Ferguson What Happened In MeetingThey knew him, just another white Chuck from some college — who had joined with the black protesters before — so what the hell, they beat him anyway.  Just another peaceful protest.

Ho-hum.

Life goes on, things like this mostly unreported.
