    Re: Isn't This Racism ??

    A racist past that haunts us today
    Commentary by Yolanda Young
    Fri May 4, 7:17 AM ET


    As Jamestown continues the commemoration of its founding in 1607 - this week highlighted with a visit by Queen Elizabeth II - the complexity of its slave legacy still frustrates race relations.

    I experienced this firsthand a few years ago while staying at a nearby resort. While waiting for what seemed to me an inordinate amount of time to be seated at an outdoor restaurant, I grew suspicious that I was being snubbed because of my race. I had noticed several empty tables and the absence of other blacks. Perhaps, I thought, we weren't welcome here. After all, this was where a Dutch man sold 20 "negars" and began the institution of slavery in this country. Just as I was getting ready to make a fuss, I turned around and noticed a middle-aged white couple waiting as well. Finally, another couple arrived and claimed a table. Turns out, the place was self-seating.

    I was reminded of this incident recently when cries of racism erupted around a teacher sex scandal in Clinton, S.C, where two white teachers have been charged with having sex with their black male students. After the teachers were each released on bails in excess of $100,000, some blacks argued that this amounted to a double standard. Lonnie Randolph, the state NAACP president, said that if a black man had been accused of perpetrating such an offense against a white female, the punishment would have been different. Randolph's mistrust is understandable, though misguided. The town has a "white's only" legacy, a Ku Klux Klan museum and a store that sells Confederate flags. But in other high-profile cases involving white teachers and white male students, bail was typically granted.

    What such mistrust shows is that it's not easy reconciling this racist past. Virginia's slave descendants, and blacks nationwide, must still contend with knotty racial dynamics. Millions of Africans were subjected to vicious treatment, and that history echoes today. Radio host Don Imus' recent reference to Rutgers University's female basketball players as "nappy-headed hos" reminds us that such callousness lingers.

    Even so, the nation continues to take steps of contrition. Coinciding with Jamestown's celebration, Virginia's General Assembly passed a unanimous resolution expressing "profound regret" for the enslavement of millions. North Carolina recently did the same.

    These are small steps toward answering the question historian Paul Johnson posed in A History of the American People: "Can a nation rise above the injustices of its origins and, by its moral purpose and performance, atone for them?"

    An equally important question is whether a people, once tormented and mistreated, can ever give that nation the benefit of the doubt.

    Duke lacrosse prosecutor faces own trial
    By AARON BEARD, Associated Press Writer
    45 minutes ago


    RALEIGH, N.C. - More than a year after shocking allegations emerged about Duke University's lacrosse team, prosecutor Mike Nifong was back in court Tuesday — this time as the defendant.

    The North Carolina State Bar charged the Durham County district attorney with several violations of the state's rules of professional conduct, all tied to his handling of the lacrosse case.

    Nifong won indictments against three lacrosse players last year after a woman hired as a stripper for a team party in March 2006 said she was raped. One of three had graduated, but Duke suspended the other two. Criticism of Nifong's evidence and handling of the case increased through the summer, then when the bar filed its initial ethics charges, Nifong turned the case over to the state attorney general, who dropped all the charges. "This didn't have to happen, and the horrible consequences were entirely foreseeable," Katherine Jean, the bar official prosecuting Nifong, said during her 25-minute opening statement. "The harm done to these three young men and their families and the justice system of North Carolina is devastating."

    The trial is expected to run for five days, and the hearing commission chairman promised a quick verdict. If convicted, Nifong could be disbarred.

    Reporters and observers — including the mothers of David Evans and Collin Finnerty, two of the once-charged and now cleared lacrosse players — packed the state Court of Appeals courtroom. Finnerty and the third player, Reade Seligmann, are expected to attend the trial at some point. Attorneys for all three players were in the courtroom Tuesday.

    Nifong aggressively pursued the case against the players, at one point calling the lacrosse team "a bunch of hooligans" in a newspaper interview.

    That interview, along with several others made in the case's early days, formed the basis of the bar's initial complaint against Nifong, which said he made misleading and inflammatory comments to the media about the athletes. "I believe you will hear him testify that he regrets making those statements," said Nifong's attorney, David Freedman, in his opening statement.

    Freedman recounted the very early days of the case, highlighting evidence he said led Nifong to believe a crime had occurred. "It is not unethical to pursue what someone may believe to be an unwinnable case," he said.

    The bar also alleged that Nifong withheld evidence from defense attorneys and that he lied to both to the court and bar investigators.

    In her opening, Jean detailed Nifong's meetings with the director of a DNA laboratory he hired, at which she said Nifong learned that none of the players' DNA matched that material found in and on the accuser. The bar has accused Nifong of keeping those test results from the defense.

    Nifong asked the North Carolina Attorney General's office to take over the lacrosse prosecution in January. By then, most experts and legal observers had long since concluded the case could not be won.

    North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper agreed in April and dropped all charges against the three players. In a stunning rebuke, Cooper said there was no rape or attack, calling the indicted players "innocent" victims of a rogue prosecutor's "tragic rush to accuse."

    Duke settles with former lacrosse coach
    By AARON BEARD, Associated Press Writer
    Thu Jun 7, 10:36 PM ET


    RALEIGH, N.C. - Duke University has reached a financial settlement with Mike Pressler, the former men's lacrosse coach who lost his job in the wake of since-debunked rape allegations involving his team.

    Though the university would not disclose terms of the deal, a school official confirmed Thursday that Duke reached "an amicable, fair financial settlement" with Pressler a few months ago. "Coach Pressler is an excellent coach and did a great job building the Duke men's lacrosse program," John Burness, Duke's vice president for public affairs, told The Associated Press. "Unfortunately last spring it was essential for the team to have a change of leadership in order to move forward.

    "We regret the negative consequences this decision had on Coach Pressler. He and Duke reached an amicable, fair financial settlement in which Duke recognized his contributions to the lacrosse program and the circumstances of his departure."

    Lee Southren, Pressler's agent, declined to comment Thursday night.

    Pressler, who now coaches at Division II Bryant in Rhode Island, was in his 16th season at Duke when a woman told police that she was attacked by three players at a March 2006 team party where she was hired to perform as a stripper. The allegations eventually led the university in Durham to cancel the remainder of the highly ranked team's season and accept Pressler's resignation.

    Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans were indicted on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. They were later cleared by state prosecutors, who called them "innocent" victims of a "tragic rush to accuse."

    The Blue Devils returned to field this season and reached the NCAA championship game under coach John Danowski, losing by a goal to Johns Hopkins on Memorial Day.

    Pressler is the only Duke official who lost a job as a result of the case, even though an internal university investigation concluded he was the only school employee to take significant action when accusations of wrongdoing — including disorderly conduct and public urination — emerged about the lacrosse team.

    He finished his Duke career with 153 wins, three Atlantic Coast Conference championships and 10 trips to the NCAA tournament. He was the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's coach of the year in 2005.

    Pressler has helped write a book about his experience that goes on sale Tuesday, the same day the prosecutor who labeled the lacrosse players "hooligans" goes on trial for several ethics violations tied to his handling of the case.

    Nifong to Resign as Durham DA
    Friday, 15 Jun 2007, 3:54 PM EDT

    DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke lacrosse prosecutor Mike Nifong says he will resign as the Durham County district attorney, regardless of the outcome of his ethics trial.

    Nifong says many of the allegations against him are justified, but he says he's not a liar. He apologized to the lacrosse players who were charged and later declared innocent, and he says he was trying to do the right thing in the case.

    Nifong made the announcement that he would resign as he took the stand in his own defense. The North Carolina State Bar has charged Nifong with violating rules governing professional conduct in his handling of the case.

    Patriotism in Denver: Black national anthem

    Out: The Star-Spangled Banner.

    In: The Black National Anthem.

    Racial separatism at an official government gathering.
    http://www.politicswest.com/26485/bl...ir_hick_speech

    "Black national anthem" raises eyebrows
    7/1/2008


    As Denver dignitaries gathered today for Mayor John Hickenlooper's State of the City address, City Council President Michael Hancock introduced singer Rene Marie to perform the national anthem.

    But that's not what she did.

    Instead, Marie performed the song "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," which also is known as the "black national anthem." When she finished, the proceedings moved forward, and few seemed to notice that the "Star-Spangled Banner" was never performed.

    One who did notice was Councilman Charlie Brown, and he took to local talk radio this afternoon to blast the lack of the nation's anthem at the proceedings. "There's no replacement for the national anthem," Brown said. "They should have sung it."

    Brown said Hancock has told talk-radio stations that he only introduced the singer from prepared remarks handed to him and was unaware that she would not be performing the "Star-Spangled Banner." Hancock did not immediately return a call seeking comment, nor did Hickenlooper or his staff.


    Here are some of the lines in the song she sang:

    “Sing a song full of the faith
    that the dark past has taught us,
    Sing a song full of the hope
    that the present has brought us;
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
    Let us march on till victory is won.”
    Dark past? Hope? (BO, perhaps?)
    Victory marches?

    Here’s more:

    “We have come, treading our path
    through the blood of the slaughtered,
    Out from the gloomy past,
    Till now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.”
    How uplifting! How inspiring!

    The song ends with:

    “May we forever stand,
    True to our God,
    True to our native land.”
    Not bad, but nowhere in the song does it say that America is our native land, so I guess each singer gets to choose - Kenya, perhaps? Or are we all just citizens of the world? Not for this American girl, thank you very much.

    Follow the link, and you will learn that the song was written as a poem in 1899. That would explain the imagery of a dark past and present hope, and talk of slaughter - it didn’t mention the age of the poet, but if he hadn’t been born a slave, his parents likely had been, so that stain on the national character was still in living memory. Taken in that context, I find no fault with the words. What I have a problem with is this woman taking it upon herself to substitute the National Anthem with it.


    Wesley Clark was quick to point out that John McCain has no singing experience, and isn’t fit to judge which songs should be sung at government meetings.

    When she heard of the song, Democrat Rep. Laura Richardson was quoted as saying “I’ll buy that - just don’t make me pay for it.”

    David Letterman may not get any flak from NASCAR, but I'll bet he does get some 'flak' from the NAACP, and others such as Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jackson that will ( and should ) absolutely go nuts !!!

    David Letterman's Top 10 reasons why there are no black NASCAR drivers:

    # 10 - Have to sit upright while driving.

    # 9 - Pistol won't stay under front seat.

    # 8 - Engine noise drowns out the rap music.

    # 7 - Pit crew can 't work on car while holding up pants at the same time.

    # 6 - They keep trying to carjack Dale Earnhardt Jr.

    # 5 - Police cars on track interfere with race.

    # 4 - No passenger seat for the Ho.

    # 3 - No Cadill acs approved for competition.

    # 2 - When they crash their cars, they bail out & run.

    AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY BLACKS CAN'T BE IN NASCAR...



    # 1 - They Can't wear their helmets sideways.

    Black professors urge race-based election results in Atlanta
    By Michelle Malkin • September 1, 2009 10:53 AM


    So much for the Era of Post-Racialism.

    A pair of black professors has admitted authoring a memo outlining how and why black voters should make their mayoral candidate choice based on skin color.

    The full memo is here. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/20586479/detail.html

    WSBTV reports: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/20586310/detail.html

    A memo circulating on the Internet and amongst voters in Atlanta is drawing a dividing line in the race for Atlanta’s next mayor.

    The letter, asking voters to support Lisa Borders because she is “the best black candidate in the race,” warns that “for the first time in 25 years, African Americans could lose the Mayoral seat in Atlanta, Georgia, especially if there is a run-off.”

    It also states “time is of the essence … in order to defeat a Norwood mayoral candidacy.” Mary Norwood, a white candidate, is said to be the front-runner. “We have to get out now and work in a manner to defeat her without a runoff, and the key is a significant Black turnout in the general election,” the letter stated.

    This is the concluding sentence:

    At the end of the day, when the morning comes, a black agenda would better enable us to have our interests respected by and our influence realized in any administration.
    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spotlights the two professors who co-authored the report and are defending their analysis: http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/auth...ck-128166.html

    William Boone, one of two Clark Atlanta University professors who claimed authorship of the memo on Monday, will address the media at 10 a.m. at Paschal’s restaurant.

    In a statement issued Monday afternoon, Boone and fellow CAU professor Keith Jennings blasted the media for misinterpreting the context of what has become known as the “black mayor first” memo. Boone repeatedly declined to talk to the AJC in advance of his press conference.

    “News coverage to date of an analysis presented to the Black Leadership Forum has been incendiary and misleading,” the professors wrote…

    …Boone and Jennings shot back Monday calling claims of racism “patently false” and a “red herring,” because they were presenting, “views that have been articulated in various parts of the community.”

    “We stand by our belief that ‘a black agenda would enable African American interests to be respected by any administration,’ ” they wrote. “The interests of African American voters are just as legitimate as other Atlanta voters, and the notion that we must apologize for highlighting those interests is absurd.”

    And I’m so very sure they’d be the first to defend a pair of white professors who wrote up a memo about the “white agenda” and strategized about how to rally voters behind the strongest white candidate to defeat non-white politicians.

    Uh-huh.

    It makes me wonder what the "black agenda" is? I know what I want from my elected officals. I want good schools, a safe community, highly trained police and firefighters with top notch equipement. I want my drinking water safe and told when it is not. I could go on but you get the point. How is this different from theirs and what are their interests?

    They may want to take a good hard look at Detroit 1st. The number one qualification for every Detroit mayoral race for the past 40 years was whether or not the candidate was black. Jesus himself would have lost a Detroit mayoral race. No one even really seemed to care about education, issues, qualifications, etc. If the person was a PhD with 40 years experience in government who had a real plan to make the city a great place but they were white they would have lost to a high school drop out who had 8 kids with 8 women and couldn't speak in proper sentences so long as he was black. Today you can buy a house in Detroit for less than a 10yo Ford Taurus and still no one wants them. Of course, in response they cry that white people are being racist for not wanting to move to Detroit.

    Not every bad encounter with a white person constitutes racism
    By May Akabogu-Collins
    Thu Sep 3, 5:00 am ET


    Vista, Calif. – I was about to kick my white neighbor out of my house. Then the memory of my dad's voice intercepted me.

    In 1980, when I was coming to America from Nigeria to attend grad school, my father told me, "Not every unpleasant encounter with a Caucasian constitutes racism. It might just be ignorance – stupidity, in fact."

    When I arrived at the University of Southern California, the dynamics of black-white politics were still alien. That first semester, I received the highest score on a test. As he handed back my paper, the professor publicly announced, : "You surprised me; I kept slowing down for you, thinking you were lost." A compliment, I thought.

    "An insult," said a classmate later. "The professor had presumed you were dumb because you're black." I wasn't convinced. But events moved on. Sometimes preposterously.

    A year later, I was walking back to my hotel room in Baltimore when another hotel guest stuck her head out her room and addressed me: "I need extra soap and a towel." I smiled and replied, "Me, too." At that point, she flushed and disappeared. I chalked it up to rational discrimination.

    Soon after grad school, I arrived at a college for an interview and introduced myself as "Dr. Collins." The secretary replied, "And I'm the president." She later apologized profusely, adding, "You look too young to be a PhD." "It's the melanin," I deadpanned, adding with a wink, "Black don't crack." She cracked up.

    Never having been a target of old-fashioned, explicit racism, I still couldn't distinguish between imaginary and real racism. That changed when my sister and I entered a video store in Korea Town in Los Angeles. We were excited to find the Eddie Murphy comedy, "Coming to America." The clerk, without batting an eye, announced unequivocally, "Only Koreans." That was the turning point in my assimilation to my new environment.

    For the first time, I felt the frustration of being black in America. "It's an Asian thing," a friend explained later. "They tend to be clannish." For a while I shunned Asians – and consorted with Caucasians.

    In Africa we attended the same schools as the Caucasians. There was no built-up animosity and, I suppose, the Caucasians in West Africa never had a reason to draw racial lines or feel superior. Hence, I had no self-consciousness among Caucasians. The O.J. Simpson verdict in 1995, however, changed all that.

    I was the only black professor at a small college in Pennsylvania. When I heard my all-white colleagues denouncing the verdict at the department lounge, I stepped outside my office to join them. The lounge immediately went silent. Everyone froze, like a still frame in a movie, and the tableau resonated with the unspoken, "You're black, therefore..." I spun on my heel and fled campus.

    I'd spent 15 years in America resisting racializing my feelings, but that incident at the faculty lounge gave me a new pair of glasses.

    In San Diego 10 years later, as I was walking my dogs (Akitas) one Monday morning, I encountered an elderly white woman. "They are absolutely gorgeous!" she declared. Before I could thank her, she added, "Are they yours?"

    Here's the thing: After 25 years in America, as such encounters accumulate, subconsciously, resentments also accumulate. "Fat chance," I replied, "I'm dog-sitting for a rich white family." And I strode away wondering if I was becoming racially paranoid.

    I was still wondering that when my white neighbor knocked on my door that same day. She was having an off day, so she took the day off and came over to vent. "It's like," she began, tears welling. "How can I put it? I feel like I've little black people inside my stomach."

    Huh? I'd had three little black people inside my belly and those were the happiest months of my life. So what could I say?

    "What do you mean?"

    A litany of woes ensued: hubby's worsening Alzheimer's, facing foreclosure, teenage turmoil – my mind strayed.

    Black market, black sheep, Black October, Black Sunday, black Monday, black weekend, the blackest day in history (9/11). Granted, those held no racial connotations – they were just terms for bad things.

    People having a bad day often say they're having a black day. But little black people in her stomach? Why, that's racist! I should just kick her out, I thought. Then I heard my father's voice: "It might just be ignorance...."

    "Hel-lo-o?" my neighbor reeled in my attention. "Yeah, I'm listening," I said.

    She continued, but my mind kept wandering: Had I just been insulted? Should I demand an apology at least? Or was I becoming one of those "overly sensitive blacks" – you know, the ones who criticized David Howard, a former Washington, D.C., mayoral aide, for saying "*****rdly" (which means "miserly") at a budget discussion in 1999?

    I still can't, be certain, of course. And I'm still not convinced that kicking my neighbor out would've been wrong. Yet, I'm bothered that my feelings are now colored by race.

    I now empathize with blacks born here who, due to the country's history, are sensitive to these issues. But at the same time, I sympathize with the uninformed whites who must watch their language lest they inadvertently offend our sensibilities.

    That's where America is. And until whites make the extra effort to understand the source of "black rage," that's where America will remain.

    Why didn't I approach my neighbor later to tell her that I felt insulted by her metaphor?

    I was afraid she would consider me "overly sensitive," and that it might cause a strain between us. Race discussion is uncomfortable. And that's exactly the problem in America – the lack of trust between blacks and whites and hence the inability to engage in an open and frank discussion about the causes and effects of racism that can clarify our different reactions to the same racial landscape.

    As President Obama has said, for America to progress, both blacks and whites must listen to one another with an open mind. Only then can we understand where the other is coming from. Yet it has to come from our hearts. And that requires mutual trust.

    Blacks must be able to talk to whites about their fears and resentments without presuming that whites would consider them racially paranoid.

    Whites must trust that blacks won't label them racists for expressing their frustrations. This is the way toward a more racially tolerant America. And in order to get there, we must be open with ourselves and compassionate with others.

    Until then, these incidents will proceed with black – oops – bleak predictability: Ignorant white says something racially insensitive. Sensitive Negroes overreact. And we're all tired of that broken record.

No one even really seemed to care about education, issues, qualifications, etc. If the person was a PhD with 40 years experience in government who had a real plan to make the city a great place but they were white they would have lost to a high school drop out who had 8 kids with 8 women and couldn't speak in proper sentences so long as he was black. Today you can buy a house in Detroit for less than a 10yo Ford Taurus and still no one wants them. Of course, in response they cry that white people are being racist for not wanting to move to Detroit.
    Umm yea, lol, been to Detroit, no way I would live there. If you seen some of the houses for sale there, you wouldn't buy them either, they're pretty bad. My friend Cheryl was born and raised there and she said she wouldn't move back..she's black. So, it's not just us white folk who wouldn't live in Detroit.

    I'll admit, I LOVE the casino's there though.
