NAAWP - National Association for the Advancement of White People.

Image
Let's just say the following Organization existed: The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of White People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. Vision Statement The vision of the National Association for the Advancement of White People is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race. And after all that, I called it the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP). In this organization I also focused on schools and the advancement of white students, offering them special courses and activities - curriculum - geared around improving their capacity. While I'm up, I also found "Historically White Colleges" and label them as such throughout the United States. With this organization, I sought equality. Since 63% of the population of the United States is declared 'w...

Discovery Channel accused of being "Insensitive" for having #SharkWeek with N.C. attacks.

Image
Attorney Mike McKinnley, a lawyer representing Jasmine Casine a recent shark attack victim in North Carolina, has threatened to sue the Discovery Channel for being "Irrationally insensitivity given the current events" and that if the Discovery Channel doesn't end the programming he will lead a Class Action Lawsuit as well as organizing a boycott. CEO John Adams was quoted as saying "this seems absurd, I mean SharkWeek has become an icon in the programming line up and, seriously, none of our sharks were even filmed off of N.C, so we're pretty sure they didn't hurt anyone". With the plethora of tagging going on and the accountability of the sharks it would seem as though Mr. Adams sits on firm ground, however, Mr. McKinnley doesn't see it that way: "Ya know what, if John had taken the time to watch the reality movie Jaws, based on obviously real and accurate accounts, he would understand the people are routinely attacked by sharks. In fac...

#blacklivesmatter - NO THEY DON'T

Image
Apparently black lives do in fact, NOT MATTER. Why else would blacks be killing themselves in record numbers? Over the weekend over 20 people were shot, a 7 year old killed, all in the urban streets of Chicago where "anti-2nd Amendment Gun Laws" are more prevalent than taxis.  Nobody marched, no riot, no obscene media coverage. No calls for removal of the City of Chicago's Flag. Why is there such an absurd double-standard in America for "Whites" and then "Blacks"? Don't quote me Slavery or oppression, maybe that was the calling card in 1960-1990 but certainly not now. Not with the sheer amount of laws on the books tilting everything in favor of one group of people (which by all accounts makes up less than 1/3 of the Nation - Democracy no more). Japanese families were imprisoned in America just 70 years ago (not 200) and they don't have special care programs or burn down their cities, why? How about every other ethnic version of a Caucasian ...

Independence Day

Image
With America as fractured as it is today in 2015, it is hard to imagine a similar group coming together in 1775 to wage war with one of the Greatest Empires to ever rule the world -- even harder to believe is this same rag-tag group would declare formal independence from the same.  The Colonies came together because of years of slights, not one simple event nor act. Historians, in an effort to educate the masses, attempt to boil events down to easy to remember chunks - the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party - however this was far more complex and happened over years, not months. Few remember that 1775 began the American Revolution (not the declaration in 1776) and that the Whig party within the Empire was very liberal and very much on the Colonies side right up until all out War. We also forget, generally, the role the French played in securing American independence, and that if it hadn't been for the 7-Years War (1754-1763) between France and England, American would most lik...
