Psychopathic White Man "plays knockout game" [racism/white supremacy] with Elderly Black Man

'In their relationship with Black people, Whites function as psychopaths and their behavior reflects an underlying biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history. The psychopath is an individual who is constantly in conflict with other persons or groups. He is unable to experience guilt, is completely selfish and callous, and has a total disregard for the rights of others.' [MORE]

From [HERE] A racist suspect was arrested Thursday on federal hate crimes charges for allegedly shooting video of himself sucker-punching a 79-year-old black man in a "knockout game"-style attack. Conrad Alvin Barrett, 27, made a brief appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy, who scheduled a detention hearing for the Katy man on Friday.

According to the federal complaint, Barrett attacked the elderly man on Nov. 24 because of the man’s race and color in what Barrett called a “knockout.” According to prosecutors, the attack happened Nov. 24 in Katy, but it wasn't until 12 days later that authorities connected the attack to the cellphone video of it.

Authorities learned of the case because Barrett allegedly showed the video on the night of the attack to an off-duty arson investigator he had just met at a restaurant in nearby Folshear. According to the criminal complaint, Barrett asked the off-duty investigator and the woman with the investigator if they knew about the knockout game. He told them he played earlier that day, then showed them the video, prosecutors allege.

The investigator then flagged down a uniformed officer across the street and led him to Barrett. The attack video doesn't show Barrett's face, but investigators matched his voice to the voice in the video and the couple at the restaurant told investigators that Barrett was wearing the same shorts and shoes at the person who shot the video.

According to prosecutors, the video shows Barrett approach the victim and ask, "How's it going, man?" A "loud smack" is then heard, the victim falls to the ground, Barrett laughs and says, "Knockout." The assailant then flees in his vehicle. The Black victim lost three teeth and needed surgery to repair his jaw, which had been broken in two places. He was hospitalized for more than four days, authorities said.

Thanks Obama - The Enormous Black Prison Population is now Minus 8! Why Do We Tolerate High Levels of Black Incarceration?

Race as a proxy for genetic difference (genetic recessive and yet superior!). Racists explain away racial disparity in incarceration rates of non-whites and whites as being genetic or based on biological difference. That is, non-whites, particularly Black people, are not the same kind of human being as whites or persons who are classified as white. For instance, non-whites are predisposed to criminality and therefore the reality of mass incarceration is unchangeable. In the white supremacy logic therefore there is no need to address the racial disparities that exist in all areas of people activity. High levels of incarceration then are perceived not as unjust but normal.

Do you think this way about people who look like you?  If you are non-white and you believe this then you subconsciously believe you are inferior to whites and are participating in your own oppression. Do your elected Democrat or Republican representatives also believe in this delusion? If so, replace them. The only purpose of race is to practice racism. 

In photo, the non-white votary waiting in long Jim Crow line in Ohio to vote early for Obama last November. Many were motivated by Obama racism. 

The sheer scale and acceleration of U.S. prison growth has no parallel in western societies. Most of the people sentenced to time in prison today are black. [MORE] According to Frances Cress Welsing white genetic survival is the dynamic behind the high incarceration rate of non-white males in the U.S.,which is globally second to none [MORE]. Too many non-white people behind bars is a goal of white supremacy. There can be no constructive resolution of this issue without addressing white supremacy/racism - which is the cause of the problem.

The system of white supremacy (racism) requires population control and the greater confinement of substantial numbers of non-white people. [theCode]. According to Neely Fuller, white supremacists/racists make certain that large numbers of non-white people exist under conditions that will most likely cause them to do things that give racists an excuse to put them in Greater Confinement. White prosecutors, judges, police, probation officers and overworked, de-valued or incompetent, mannequin-like defense counsel are filling the jails with non-whites.  There is no need for you to simply believe this; go to your local court and watch the lock-ups/arraignments; they are overwhelmingly non-white. How much will you tolerate? 

From [HERE] President Obama [see Neely Fuller on the art of showcasing above], expanding "his push" to curtail severe penalties in drug cases, on Thursday commuted the sentences of eight federal inmates who were convicted of crack cocaine offenses. Each inmate has been imprisoned for at least 15 years, and six were sentenced to life in prison.

It was the first time retroactive relief was provided to a group of inmates who would most likely have received significantly shorter terms if they had been sentenced under current drug laws, sentencing rules and charging policies. Most will be released in 120 days. The commutations opened a major new front in the administration’s efforts to curb soaring taxpayer spending on prisons and to help correct what it has portrayed as inequality in the justice system.

In a statement, Mr. Obama said that each of the eight men and women had been sentenced under what is now recognized as an “unfair system,” including a 100-to-1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses that was significantly reduced by the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010.

North Carolina's bad [racist] plan to take lawyers away from poor [non-white] people: 80% of defendants qualify for free defense counsel. 90% plead guilty

Wait, are you sure you want to plead guilty? An interesting photo for Slate Magazine to use for this article about the inadequate, mannequin like representation from court appointed attorneys; a Black judge in the background looking down on a white woman defense attorney and her white male client - a statistical rarity. Don't just believe, go and see - go down to your local arraignment and criminal courts and see for yourself - who is being locked up and by whom? Many (not all) of the non-whites involved (judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors and court staff) are there for show, like potted plants - w/o them it just wouldn't look right would it?/refinement of white supremacy.  

This article and this photo should be considered in the context of white supremacy/racism. White supremacy is carried out through deception and/or violence. Poor representation and substantial numbers of non-white people in greater confinement is the point.] [MORE]

From [HERE] and [MORE] Earlier this month, in an attempt to cut $2 million from its budget, North Carolina eliminated access to public counsel for thousands of poor criminal defendants each year. That’s not what the new law says: Tucked inside the state’s new budget, it reclassifies more than a dozen crimes into misdemeanors that cannot result in jail time. This is part of a pattern. Over the past two decades, swelling caseloads and fiscal belt-tightening have led several states, including Virginia and Minnesota, to create classes of crimes that can only be punished with a fine. In other states, the same thing happens case by case in the courtroom, where judges and prosecutors routinely declare they will not pursue jail time for minor infractions.

What’s not to like, if you’re caught with a small amount of drugs or driving without a license? The problem is that, left to fend for themselves in the courtroom, most defendants lack the basic legal skills to argue their innocence or reduce their punishment, and they’re often not told of the lifelong consequences that even minor convictions can carry. In an era when getting marked as criminal is often the severest punishment in itself, it makes increasingly little sense for only those facing incarceration to have a right to counsel.

The Social and Moral Cost of Mass Incarceration in African American Communities

Radical changes in crime control and sentencing policies led to an unprecedented buildup of the United States prison population over the last thirty years. n1 By the end of 2002, the number of inmates in the nation's jails and prisons exceeded two million. n2 Today's imprisonment rate is five times as high as in 1972 and surpasses that of all other nations. n3 The sheer scale and acceleration of U.S. prison growth has no parallel in western societies. As David Garland put it, "This is an unprecedented event in the history of the USA and, more generally, in the history of liberal democracy." n4

The extraordinary prison expansion involved young black men in grossly disproportionate numbers. Achieving another historic record, most of the people sentenced to time in prison today are black. On any given day, nearly one-third of black men in their twenties are under the supervision of the criminal justice system - either behind bars, on probation, or on parole. n5 The gap between black and white incarceration rates, moreover, has deepened along with rising inmate numbers. n6 African Americans experience a uniquely  [*1273]  astronomical rate of imprisonment, and the social effects of imprisonment are concentrated in their communities. Thus, the transformation of prison policy at the turn of the twenty-first century is most accurately characterized as the mass incarceration of African Americans. n7

The mass incarceration of African Americans coincides with a new era in criminal justice research. Social scientists are increasingly applying empirical methods to understand the impact of crime control policies and to supply data to judges, legislators, and policymakers. n8 The distinctive features of African American mass incarceration have generated a new research agenda that reframes the typical questions asked about the racial disparity in imprisonment and that better measures the costs and benefits of prison policy. The new research also puts in striking relief the question of the morality of confining so many American citizens.

In the rest of this Introduction, I describe the distinctive features of both African American mass incarceration and the new direction in prison research examining this phenomenon. I also discuss how these empirical studies reframe the issue of racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. Part I identifies three theories that explain the social mechanisms through which mass incarceration inflicts community-level harms. Part II argues that mounting evidence of mass imprisonment's damage to African American communities should change the outcome of dominant deliberations about the moral justifications for current penal approaches to punishment. This evidence demolishes utilitarian claims that high incarceration rates uniformly benefit black communities and reveals, to the contrary, how they entrench black communities' political subordination. I conclude, therefore, that the mass incarceration of African Americans is not only morally unjustifiable, but morally repugnant.

Racist Suspect to Stand Trial for the Murder of Unarmed Black Woman: "frightened" white man Blew her head off through screen door

The psychopathic racial personality. A firearms expert testified that the gun used, a 12 gauge Mossberg model 500A shotgun, requires 6.5 pounds of pressure to pull the trigger, after first loading it with shotgun shells, racking it, and taking the safety off. 

From [HERE] Twentieth District Court Judge David Turfe bound Theodore Wafer, 54, the admitted killer of 19-year Renisha McBride, over for trial on all counts of second-degree murder, manslaughter and felony firearms Dec. 19. Wafer, a white Dearborn Heights resident, admitted to blasting McBride in the face with a shotgun, killing her instantly as she stood on his front porch early during the morning of Nov. 2, 2013, allegedly seeking help after a car accident. 

“Uh, yes, I just shot somebody on my front porch with a shotgun banging on my door,” Wafer said during a 911 call played during his preliminary exam. “I live at 16812 W. Outer Drive. Thank you.”  He hung up the phone after the dispatcher asked what city he was in.

McBride was Black. “The testimony of the first witness, Carmen Beasley, summed it up in a nutshell,” Judge Turfe said during his ruling. McBride earlier ran into cars parked in front of Beasley’s house on Bramell in Detroit.

“[Mrs. Beasley] called 911 first,” the judge noted. “She thought first, then she acted. . .The evidence shows the defendant [Wafer] made a bad decision. There were other reasonable opportunities available. I believe the prosecution has met their burden of proof.”

Beasley testified that she only went outside after calling 911, observing the scene, and noting a young woman who appeared to be hurt and dazed. She said she tried to help McBride, asking her to remain until EMS came. But, she said, McBride kept repeating, “I just want to go home,” then eventually wandered off down Warren Ave. 

“The defense argues Michigan’s Self-Defense Act,” Judge Turfe added. “Yes, if someone knocks or bangs on your door, a reasonable person might bring a shotgun to the door to either shoot, scare the person, or defend yourself. But could [the defendant] have not answered the door, called for help, or run to another area of the house? Instead he chose to shoot.”

"Poor Mandela. When he's not a doll, he's a statue. He joins MLK as another bronzed monument whose use is to serve a new version of racism"

Changing the color of the hand holding the whip. By [GregPalast]  I can't take it anymore. All week, I've watched Nelson Mandela reduced to a Barbie doll. From Fox News to the Bush family, the politicians and media mavens who body-blocked the anti-Apartheid Movement and were happy to keep Mandela behind bars, now get to dress his image up in any silly outfit they choose.

It's more nauseating than hypocrisy and ignorance. The Mandela Barbie tells us in a squeaky little doll voice, not his own, that apartheid is now "defeated" - to quote the ridiculous headline in the Times.

Poor Mandela. When he's not a doll, he's a statue. He joins Martin Luther King as another bronzed monument whose use is to serve a new version of racism, Apartheid 2.0, worsening both in South Africa - and in the USA.

The ruling class creates commemorative dolls and statues of revolutionary leaders as a way to tell us their cause is won, so go home. For example, just six months ago, the US Supreme Court overturned the key parts of the Voting Rights Act, Dr. King's greatest accomplishment, on the specious claim that, "Blatantly discriminatory evasions are rare," and Jim Crow voting practices are now "eradicated." 

"Eradicated?" On what planet? The latest move by Florida Republicans to purge 181,000 voters of color - like the stench from the shantytowns of Cape Town - makes clear that neither Jim Crow nor Apartheid have been defeated. They're just in temporary retreat.

Nevertheless, our betters in the USA and Europe have declared that King slew segregation, Mandela defeated apartheid; and therefore, the new victims of racial injustice should just shut the f$#! up and stop whining. 

The Man Who Walked Beside Mandela

To replace the plastic and metal Mandelas with flesh and blood, I spoke to Danny Schechter. Schechter knew Mandela personally, and more deeply, than any other American journalist. One of the great reporters of our generation, Schechter produced South Africa Now, a weekly program seen on PBS, from 1988-91, bringing Mandela's case to Americans dumbed and numbed by Ronald Reagan's red-baiting. 

Schechter notes that George W. Bush kept Mandela on the Terrorist Watch List — no kidding — even after Mandela was elected President.

ACLU Files Racial Targeting Suit: Mississippi Troopers go on Warrantless Search & Detain Black Graduate Students

Many Black people like to think of themselves as middle class, and therefore, distant from things like police oppression. This preferred version of reality is illusion. In the world 'as it is' a more appropriate description is Powerless Class.

From [HERE] The ACLU filed a federal lawsuit against the state Department of Public Safety on Friday, alleging racial profiling and constitutional violations in an August 2012 incident.

The suit wsa filed on behalf of Raymond Montgomery and Cathryn Stout, a doctoral student at Saint Louis University in Missouri. Montgomery and Stout, who are both black, were stopped by a trooper with the Mississippi Highway Patrol on Aug. 8, 2012, on I-55 South just north of Jackson, for having an Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. sorority license plate holder, according to a release from the ACLU.

When the two refused to consent to a search of the vehicle, the officer called his supervisor to assist on the scene. Three troopers then went through Montgomery’s and Stout’s luggage and dismantled interior door panels.

“I was stunned and humiliated by the treatment that we received by the Mississippi Highway Patrol,” said Montgomery. “We hope that our speaking up can help make sure this does not happen to anyone else.”

At one point Stout said she was told to stop filming the search on her cell phone, a demand she said she followed for fear of being arrested. The ordeal took an hour, after which the troopers sent the couple on their way without a ticket.

“Ironically, the entire purpose of my visit to Mississippi was to document the positive strides the state has taken to combat negative stereotypes,” Stout said. “Unfortunately, my experience with the Highway Patrol revealed a much different picture.”

“This is one of many complaints that our office has received regarding the Mississippi Highway Patrol,” said Bear Atwood, legal director for the ACLU of Mississippi. “We hope that this suit will cause the Department of Public Safety to take a serious look at its policies and practices, which result in frequent violations of motorists’ civil rights and civil liberties.”

The suit alleges that MDPS, which oversees MHP, and the three troopers involved in the incident violated Stout’s and Montgomery’s Fourth Amendment rights by engaging in an unconstitutional stop and search, their rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by racially profiling them, and Stout’s First Amendment rights by prohibiting her from peacefully filming the search, from a distance, with her cell phone camera.

The suit also alleges that MDPS violated Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964 by permitting its troopers to engage in racial profiling.

white supremacy is a religion, do you believe in it? White lady on Fox: [if] Santa and Jesus are white [then God is White]

From [HERE] Racist suspect, Megyn Kelly has a message for all the children staying up past bedtime to watch "The Kelly File" on FoxNews: 

"Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. He was a historical figure. That's a verifiable fact -- as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that. My point is, how do you just revise it in the middle of the legacy of the story and change Santa from white to black?" [MORE] As stated by Dr. Welsing: 

"Most fundamental and absolutely critical to the white supremacy system of religious thought was the formation of the Image of a white man as the "son" of God. This white male Image was then referred to as "Christ"; It doesn't matter that the prophet Jesus was a Black man.

Because of the nature of the human brain that functions on logic circuits, once a white male Image is established in the brain computer logic as the son of God, then the brain com­puter at deep unconscious levels automatically concludes that God the Father is also a white male, since Black or other non-white males would have produced a non-white son.

Thus, any person accepting the Christian religion—whether conscious of it or not—has the image and concept of God as a white man. With this unconscious "God-is-a-white-man" logic circuit securely implanted, the message becomes very clear: the white man (as God the Father) is supreme, perfect in power...and goodness...from whom all blessings flow.

Therefore, it can be said that all Black and other non-white "Christians" worship the white man as God—not as a God but as the God. So the white man is perfect, good, supreme and the only source of blessings, according to this logic circuit.

It is noteworthy that Christianity was based upon the life of African (Black) prophet named Jesus. That the white Romans recognized this fact is reflected in early portrayals of Jesus and his mother (the Black Madonna and Black Child). To this day, a picture of the Black Madonna and Black Child is secretly cherished as one of the most revered Icons of the original Christian church, the Catholic church.

What, then, necessitated changing the Image of Black Jesus and Black Mary to white Christ and white Mary? It is necessary to return to the most fundamental fact in the existence of the global white collective. [MORE]

Can Black Pete be Genetic Recessive and Superior at the same time? [the Xmas myth of white supremacy]

From [HERE] and [HERE] In Belgium and Holland six weeks before Americans celebrate Christmas, Sinterklaas comes to town. The Dutch Santa Claus travels by steamboat instead of sleigh and from Spain, not the North Pole. But the most different thing about him is his help.

Instead of elves, he has Black Pete — a character played by whites in blackface. Thousands of them started popping up over the weekend at children’s parades, schools and in living rooms across the Netherlands, like so many Al Jolsons. White people practicing racism tell kids that Black Pete (Zwarte Piet) is black from the soot that darkened his face after he descended chimneys to deliver gifts to children across the Low Countries.

But what's really real is that Black Pete is black because cartoon artist Jan Schenkman created the dim-witted character about a decade before slavery was abolished in former Dutch colonies. Black Pete has fat lips, curly hair and ears pierced with a golden earring, resembling the long-frowned-upon British golliwog rag doll. [MORE]

Now a wave of opposition to the Dutch character of Black Pete is generating a fierce debate about white supremacy/racism in one of the world’s allegedly most socially [white] liberal nations. A "stunned" country is watching as the uproar unleashes vocal resistance during the most joyous time on the Dutch calendar. [MORE]

"Most white people hate Black people. The reason that most white people hate Black people is because whites are not Black people. If you know this about white people, you need know little else. If you do not know this about white people, virtually all else that you know about them will only confuse you." -Neely Fuller

Taking Fuller's account a step further, Dr. Welsing states, "it should be noted that, in the majority of instances, any neurotic drive for superiority usually is founded upon a deep and pervading sense of inadequacy and inferiority. Is it not true that white people represent in numerical terms a very small minority of the world's people? And more profoundly, is not "white" itself the very absence of any ability to produce color? I reason, then, that the quality of whiteness is indeed a genetic inadequacy or a relative genetic deficiency state, based upon the genetic inability to produce the skin pigments of melanin (which is responsible for all skin color). The vast majority of the world's people are not so afflicted, which suggests that color is normal for human beings and color absence is abnormal. Additionally, this state of color absence acts always as a genetic recessive to the dominant genetic factor of color-production. Color always "annihilates" (phenotypically-and genetically speaking) the non-color, white. Black people possess the greatest color potential, with brown, red and yellow peoples possessing lesser quantities, respectively. This is the genetic and psychological basis for The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy).  

The Color-Confrontation theory states that the white or color-deficient Europeans responded psychologically, with a profound sense of numerical inadequacy and color inferiority, in their confrontations with the majority of the world's people - all of whom possessed varying degrees of color-producing capacity. This psychological response, whether con­scious or unconscious, revealed an inadequacy based on the most obvious and fundamental part of their being, their external appearance. As might be anticipated in terms of modern psychological theories, whites defen­sively developed an uncontrollable sense of hostility and aggression. This attitude has continued to manifest itself throughout the history of mass confrontations between whites and people of color. That the initial hostility and aggression came only from whites is recorded in innumerable diaries, journals and books written by whites. Also, records indicate that only after long periods of great abuse have non-whites responded defen­sively with any form of counterattack. This perplexing psychological reaction of whites has been directed towards all peoples with the capacity to produce melanin. However, the most profound aggressions have been directed towards Black people, who have the greatest color potential and, therefore, are the most envied and feared in genetic color competition.

The experience of numerical inadequacy and genetic color inferiority led whites to implement a number of interesting, although devastating (to non-white peoples), psychological defense mechanisms. The initialpsychological defense maneuver was the repression of the initial painful awareness of inadequacy. This primary ego defense was reinforced by a host of other defense mechanisms.

One of the most important of these defense mechanisms was reaction formation, a response that converts (at the psychological level) something desired and envied but wholly unattainable, into something discredited and despised. The whites, desiring to have skin color but unable to attain it, claimed (consciously or unconsciously) that skin color was disgusting to them, and began attributing negative qualities to color - especially to blackness. Interestingly, the term "non-white" is a double negative result­ing in a positive statement. This is perhaps a Freudian slip, wherein the use of language ultimately reveals the primary psychological dynamic. Whites' desire to have colored skin can be observed at the very first signs of spring or summer when they begin to strip off their clothes (as many pieces as the law will allow), often permitting their skins to be burned severely in an attempt to add some color to their pale bodies and rendering themselves vulnerable to skin cancer in the process. Most cosmetics are also an attempt to add color to white skin. Such coloring makeup is provided for the white male as well as female. And finally, untold millions are spent annually on chemicals that are advertised as being able to increase the tanning potential of whites. [MORE]

Gang of White Men [more than 12] Attack Black College Student in Brooklyn - Victim Left for Dead with Broken Eye Socket

White Supremacy = the Ultimate KO Game. White supremacy is conducted through violence and/or deception [MORE]. From [HERE] and [HERE] Police are investigating after a Black man was assaulted by a mob of more than a dozen white men in Brooklyn, leaving him with a broken eye socket and a torn retina. 

The 22-year-old victim, Taj Patterson says he was out with friends in Williamsburg Dec. 1 when a group of 15 to 20 men he described as Hasidic Jews wearing religious garb approached him. 

"They came up behind me, they grabbed me, they punched me in the face, kicked me down, knocked me out," Patterson told NBC 4 New York. 

Patterson says that during the beating, the men yelled anti-gay slurs, including, "Stay down, f----t!”

"I’m walking down some block by myself and then the next thing I know, I’m surrounded by a group of Hasidic Jewish men and they’re attacking me,” Patterson tells the Daily News. “I was alone. I was an easy target. I’m black. I’m gay, a whole slew of reasons." 

Patterson's mother, Zahra Patterson, said "it wasn't until someone stopped them — the witnesses, a Bus driver, otherwise, my son would have been left for dead." 

Patterson, a student at the New York City College of Technology, was taken to Woodhull Hospital, where he was treated for a broken eye socket, a torn retina, bruises and blood clotting. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.  He's expected to have additional surgeries in two weeks to reattach the damaged retina.

Racist Suspects Murder Case Going to Grand Jury: White Men Allegedley Beat Black Teen to Death while he Slept

From [HERE] and [HERE] The two [racist suspects] white men who face robbery and murder charges from a fatal beating incident involving a 16-year-old Black teenager appeared before Judge Rupert Ruppert Tuesday afternoon. Michael Geldrich, 36, appeared in the courtroom with a host of security, along with his fellow accused, Michael J. Watson, 39.

In the hearing, Franklin Detective Jeff Stewart said Watson told him Geldrich sent a text message saying he wanted to beat the victim, Dione Payne, over drugs and money. "After Michael Geldrich picked him up, they both drove back to 11 Vernon Street where they spoke about robbing Dione Payne," Stewart said.

Watson, referred to as "Jay" in the trial, told Stewart that he and Geldrich walked into the home's garage and Geldrich picked up a table leg. "He indicated that he asked Michael Geldrich if he was actually going to hit the young man inside the house, who we later found to be Dione with the stick," Stewart said in court. "Jay indicated the original plan was to go in, put a pillow case over Dione's head and then rob him of his dope and money, take him somewhere, uncover him and then everything would be good."

According to Stewart's claim, Watson said Payne was sleeping in the front room of the home on a couch. He said that was when Geldrich hit Payne twice in the head with the table leg.

"After Geldrich hit Dione with the table leg a second time he heard Dione gasp at which time Michael then threw him on the floor and began to continue to assault him," Stewart said. "Jay said it was his function to ask Dione the stuff was indicating the dope or money, he said he asked Dione this more than one time. He indicated that Michael did not want Dione to know he was also involved in the robbery so this was his function."

White man gets 40 months for hate-crime attack on Sikh cabbie

From [HERE] A white man was sentenced this morning in U.S. District Court to 40 months in prison for viciously beating a Sikh cab driver while making racist statements about Muslims.

Jamie Larson, who turned 50 on Sunday, was originally charged with malicious harassment in King County Superior Court, but the case was turned over to federal prosecutors in March because the federal hate crime law carries a longer possible sentence of up to 10 years.

Larson pleaded guilty in June to hate crime, but he claimed he remembered nothing of the incident because he had blacked out from drinking when he attacked the 50-year-old cab driver because he mistakenly believed he was Muslim. The driver is an immigrant from India and not a Muslim. 

Federal prosecutors, however, point out that Larson has a long history of alcohol-fueled violence, sexually assaulting a neighbor in 2008 and beating an ambulance driver in 2009 while drunk.

The driver couldn’t work for two months and required months of physical therapy due to his injuries. Coughenour, the judge, called Larson’s racist comments to the cab driver “the most disgusting, ugly and racist language that I have heard in 30 years on the bench.”

Maulana Karenga - Black People, HIV-AIDS and Racial Justice: Fighting on Two Fronts

"If you attempt to understand the AIDS holocaust, without under­standing white supremacy, you will only be confused; and you may be dead." - Welsing 

From [HERE] Thus, as public policy and socially sanctioned practice, racism determines who will be considered and treated and how; who will live best and die worst; who will work, be educated well or walk and drive down the street without being targeted (profiled) by color, regardless of age and innocence. It is in this context that we find ourselves fighting on two fronts in the struggle around HIV/AIDS: on the front of health and well-being and that of racial and social injustice in society as a whole. For the two are clearly linked; and so whatever is offered as a common strategy and struggle to address the pandemic of HIV/AIDS, we know we have not received and do not have the consideration and resources we need, and certainly not the consideration and resources equal or even similar to the favored and well-funded White community. And yet we continue to make do and struggle on; to perform what small miracles we can; and to do the good demanded of us by our commitment to care and serve which is so essential to our cultural and moral sense of ourselves as African people.  

This year's World AIDS Day theme is "Getting to Zero": zero new infections; zero discrimination; and zero AIDS related deaths. But the question is how do we get to zero, i.e., an AIDS free generation, when our rates of infection are constantly and steeply rising, not going down? How do we get to zero when our resources are diminishing even as the need for resources increases due to rising rates of infection? And how do we get to zero when our organizations doing the critical work are under-funded and in danger of further weakening? It, again, reflects the view of things from the status and standpoint of Whites, not from that of Black people.

Nothing but Net! Macy's Practices 'Whitenology' on Targeted Black Consumers with Unenforceable "bill of rights" [never play for your own sandwich]

From [HERE] Six weeks after a series of racial-profiling allegations from Black and Latino shoppers, a coalition of high-end retailers and civil rights leaders came up with a so called “bill of rights” to protect non-white customers from “shop-and-frisk” practices or racial targeting by the NYPD in the white owned and controlled stores [more on white collective power HERE]. 

The list of "rights" was released to the media after getting final approval Monday morning at a meeting that included the Rev. Al Sharpton and other civil rights advocates and executives from Barneys, Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Lord & Taylor and other department stores. The NYPD did not participate.

The one-page bill of rights will be displayed in stores such as Barneys, Macy’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, and the Gap, and it will include phone numbers for the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the state Division of Human Rights, and the manager of each store that posts it.

The document “strictly prohibits unreasonable searches and/or the profiling of customers by any employee,” and requires that a person should be detained only if an employee “has reasonable grounds” to believe that the person was in criminal possession of “an anti-security item” or “was committing or attempting to commit shoplifting on the premises.”

[In other words, it informs you of rights you already have and provides information already available to the public. It confers no legally enforceable rights on the shopper [victim] and does not provide any cause of action to sue for any violation or breach of the "bill of rights." It provides no additional or new remedy that did not already exist. There is no penalty or fine assessed against the store or NYPD. It is meaningless. Who's the mack?

In it, Jordan is sitting in a gym with a bag of food. Larry Bird, a white man, asks 'can I play you for your sandwich?' and Jordan agrees. Then they play one on one. What does Jordan get if he wins?
