Racism rears its ugly head

[Babagounj]

The Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC has issued what critics contend is a “starter kit” for jihadists and a “hit list” that paints a target on the backs of a dozen high-profile women who are outspoken in their opposition to jihad and Shariah law.
“The SPLC is the real hate group, using that label to demonize and stigmatize all who don’t share their hard-left agenda. The SPLC smear machine does not profile jihad groups but they target and libel patriots, veterans, tea-party orgs and other groups that work in defense of freedom.” said Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative .

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Know what I mean? Everybody knows full well what the confederate flag stands for in today's America, and so do the tea, wing nut, Christo-fascist supporters.But the candidate who comes out against it is done in the primary....end of story. Their entire coalition is racists, gun nuts, and religious zealots, and they all overlap in many cases.

With such a broad/BS statement like that, is it any question why I think you're a joke?

In all fairness, that does seem to take in the majority of the right.

Your opinion on the Republicans views are similarly wrong and laughable

Not at the view from my front porch.

What does 'Republican' even mean in 2015-16? Is it Romney, Bush, Cruz, Huckabee or Trump? Should I look to Walker or Rubio or Paul? Carson, Cristie or Fiorina? Perry or Jindal? Santorum or Ms Lindsey?

So many poor choices.

The present day crowd makes Nixon look well balanced.

Bring back someone like Teddy Roosevelt or Dwight Eisenhower, and I'm a Republican.

Still thinking the Republicans and Democrats magically switched ideologies sometime in the past?

Get over it.

Your party is still the slavery party.

But now they pay the slaves to stay docile.

The party you lean towards is still the party of bigotry and racial segregation.

Reality can be a challenging for some to accept.

White privilege = being held responsible for the acts of your ancestors by those who accept no responsibility for the acts of their children.

Did Black Lives Matter Organizer Shaun King Mislead Oprah Winfrey By Pretending To Be Biracial?

An investigative blogger has accused Shaun King, a key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, of misleading media icon Oprah Winfrey by pretending to be biracial in order to qualify for an “Oprah scholarship” to historically black Morehouse College. The blogger says King is white and has been lying about his ethnicity for years.

King is a high-profile campaigner against “police brutality” and “justice correspondent” for the liberal Daily Kos website who told Rebel magazine in 2012 that he was biracial, with the magazine reporting that he is the “son of a Caucasian mother and an African-American father.” He has also described himself as “mixed with a black family” on Twitter.



public records show only one J Wayne King in the state.

Nowhere? I don't really care.
Just found it curious trying to figure out what this has to do with racism.
The only thing related to racism I could come up with was maybe your views on the story.

Here's another racist story .

Gov’t Accuses Company Of Discrimination Over Employees Having To Prove Citizenship Status

The Department of Justice has accused a business of discrimination due to the company requiring employees to show proof of citizenship for employment.

The DOJ claims that Nebraska Beef Ltd., a Nebraska-based meat packing company, “required non-U.S. citizens, but not similarly-situated U.S. citizens, to present specific documentary proof of their immigration status to verify their employment eligibility.”

After receiving pressure from the government, Nebraska Beef agreed to pay $200,000 in a civil penalty settlement and said they will establish an uncapped back pay fund for people who lost wages because they could not prove they are in the country legally.

The settlement also requires the business to undergo compliance monitoring for two years, train employees on the anti-discrimination provision within the Immigration and Nationality Act, and to revise policies within its office.

The DOJ is committed to ensuring that individuals who are authorized to work in the United States can support their families and contribute to our country’s economic growth without facing unnecessary and discriminatory barriers to employment,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Civil Rights Division. “We will vigorously enforce the law to remove such barriers where we find them, and ensure that affected individuals have a means of seeking relief.”
