A reader, J.T. from Louisiana, writes in:

I would like to say thank you very much for [your Jena blog posts].

Being a former citizen of Monroe, Louisiana, about 40 miles from Jena, I know the town of Jena and a few people around there.  This is not a racist town, not in the way you may think anyway.  The town of Jena is suffering from what every town in Louisiana is,hate crimes and race fights.  But the dirty little secret is that the crimes being commited are not white on black but the other way around.

Facing hatred towards myself, just because of the color of my skin, is why I’m writing you today.  The European-Americans of today are facing hate crimes and discrimination on a rate much higher than the drive-by media will report.  I personally have never seen an Arican-American attacked or hagled because of the color of their skin.

Now, when we talk about European-Americans, it’s a whole different ballgame.  I’ve had friends beat up side their heads by anywhere from 4 to 15 different African-Americans with locks, just for going in the “black peoples bathroom,” or “the black peoples street,” and especially over the lies that come out of the mouth of that hate card playing, racist damn Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

I’ll be a new visitor to your site now, it’s good to know that I’m not just crazy and the only one alive who sees this.  Godspeed my friend.

If you fit that mold, then you can’t be a doctor in the British National Health Service (NHS), at least not a well-paid one.

London Sunday Times:

ONE of Britain’s most eminent consultants has claimed white male doctors are being denied bonuses because of politically correct “reverse discrimination” by the National Health Service.

David Rosin, a former vice-president of the Royal College of Surgeons, says female and ethnic minority consultants are being given preferential treatment to meet artificial quotas.

Rosin, also a former president of the Association for Cancer Surgery, failed to get the top “platinum award” award 10 years in a row despite being backed in his application by the royal college and his NHS trust.

He said: “When I asked a previous president [of the Royal College of Surgeons] why I had been unsuccessful, the answer came back immediately: ‘What do you expect? You are not black, you are not female and you have all four limbs.’ ”

Rosin’s comments are likely to provoke a row about whether policies to promote equal opportunities in the NHS have led to positive discrimination. Figures show a dramatic increase in the number of women and ethnic minorities winning merit awards over the past five years. They can add up to £73,000 to a consultant’s annual salary of about £112,000.

YBMB update.

The trouble with having so many wives is that some of them will feel jilted, and rat you out. And the trouble with having 100 wives and 46 children is that, when you die, there’s going to be blood shed within the “family” to figure out who gets to run the operation.

San Francisco Chronicle:

As the late Yusuf Bey built Your Black Muslim Bakery into an empire of wealth and influence, he also orchestrated a systematic welfare fraud scheme at his Oakland compound, three of his former wives have testified.

By the wives’ sworn account, Bey directed many of the 100 women whom he considered his wives to make fraudulent applications for government aid programs intended to assist poor families, then diverted the benefits to himself.

(snip)

The revenue - thousands of dollars per month, perhaps more than $1 million over the course of the scheme, testimony in the case suggests - helped inflate the clout of Your Black Muslim Bakery, a business Bey proselytized as an icon of economic self-sufficiency.

The alleged fraud scheme was aided by two employees of the Alameda County Social Services Agency who were also Bey’s sisters-in-law, the former wives testified. A welfare worker who was Bey’s sister-in-law once tipped off the bakery that it might become the target of a fraud investigation, according to the testimony. As a result, the bakery’s households jumped off the welfare rolls in an attempt to avoid scrutiny, a former wife testified.

(snip)

In all, roughly 100 women and many of the 46 children Bey is thought to have fathered were involved in the fraud scheme, according to the wives - a category, the depositions say, that included girls whom Bey allegedly raped and impregnated.

(snip)

Bey founded the bakery more than four decades ago, and built it into a controversial but enduring Oakland institution praised by politicians and preachers alike.

But after Bey’s death, his business empire spiraled into disarray, as his heirs vied for control and bakery officials and employees were implicated in a series of increasingly violent incidents.

Northern California CofCC Blog.  Another new chapter rises tall.

She’s back.  Or maybe “she’s” not — her family is.

AP:

Twenty years after her allegations of a racially charged rape became a national flashpoint, Tawana Brawley’s mother and stepfather want to reopen the case, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Glenda Brawley and Ralph King want to press Gov. Eliot Spitzer and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to re-examine the November 1987 incident, which a state grand jury ultimately concluded was a hoax, the Daily News reported.

Why now?  I think that paragraph has the reason.  Since New York has a crazy left-wing pandering Governor (to wit:  drivers licenses for illegals), and probably just as wacky of an AG, the family thinks it has friends in high places.

“New York State owes my daughter. They owe her the truth,” said Glenda Brawley. She reiterated her stance that her daughter was indeed raped by a group of white men who smeared her with feces and scrawled racial epithets on her body.

She got the truth in November 1987.

Brawley was 15 when she went missing for four days from her home in Wappingers Falls, about 75 miles north of New York City. After being found, she made the shocking allegation that she had been abducted and raped by six white law enforcement officials.

The case quickly made headlines and drew the attention of the Rev. Al Sharpton, who became an outspoken advocate for the teen.

But a special state grand jury found evidence Brawley had fabricated her story. A former Dutchess County prosecutor who had been implicated in the case later sued Brawley, Sharpton and other Brawley advisers for defamation, winning a $345,000 judgment against the advisers and a $185,000 judgment against Brawley.

Brawley has changed her name and become a nurse, the Daily News reported.

If so, why doesn’t she come into the public eye with her new name?  Could it be that she wouldn’t have been able to get into nursing school or be hired as a nurse with her notorious birth name, and that if she did come out, she would be fired from the nurse’s job she has now?  Or could it be that there’s a $185,000 rock on her real identity, and she changed names to evade the debt?

St. Louis’s civic elite still can’t get over their obsession with Morgan Quitno.  If you remember when the “Most Dangerous City” designation came out in October 2006, the Powers That Be all denied it, then they tried to pull the “core city vs metro area” excuse card, then they accepted it, with the caveat that the way to solve the problem was to build recreation centers and to put more human cannon fodder cops on the streets.  Now they’re back to denying it again, and trying to squelch the annual rankings, now owned and operated by the firm that publishes Congressional Quarterly.

Pennsylvania’s “hate crimes” law was found to be unconstitutional by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, because of the parliamentary methods that were used to pass the bill in the state legislature.

You will notice in the article that the bill was signed into law in 2002 by then-Governor Mark Schweiker.  He was Governor for little more than a year, after Tom Ridge resigned not long after 9/11 to head the new Homeland Security Agency, which eventually became the Cabinet-level HLS Department, of which he was the first Secretary.  Schweiker was Ridge’s Lieutenant Governor.  However, he himself did not seek to win the office in his own right in November 2002, when Ed Rendell won election for that post, which he still holds.
