Transportation Buttigieg: Roads Kill More Blacks, Racism Built Into Our Highways

One trick pony Pete. Persistent Pete. You have to give him credit for that. Racist Racist Racist. Now it is the roads. How can one man pack so much of it from his Transportation gig? It is hard to pick the worst member of his Cabinet. Surely this one has to be close to the top.

He might just want to check on our supply chain issues, especially now with the new regs in California that has taken out many independent truckers.  Container ships are backing up waiting to be unloaded.

California Destroys Its Independent Truckers

California has carried out its own de-kulakization by eliminating the businesses of the state’s estimated 70,000 independent truck drivers. These entrepreneurs own and operate their own trucks, carrying cargo from California ports and manufacturers to the rest of the U.S. The effects on these business owners have been catastrophic. No American will escape the ramifications.

The destruction of independent truckers began when Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5) on September 18, 2019. That law compels independent drivers to surrender the companies they’ve built and seek employment in large firms that can hire them. Read more National Review

But I have digressed.

“Racial disparities” continue to be a focus for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, according to a recent appearance on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” on Saturday.

MSNBC host Al Sharpton sat down with Buttigieg and questioned him about his dedication to addressing inequality regarding road fatalities.

“A lot of people don’t understand, even down to road fatalities, it is not equal,” Sharpton said.

Bunk here is tempted to step in and point out that we might just want include some variables, such as car jackings and other illegal activities, but I don’t want to be called racist.

 

Buttigieg has previously highlighted discrimination within America’s infrastructure. Dismantling a highway. What could be more American than that?

“What we’re doing is we are reconnecting people who may have been disconnected or divided by discriminatory decisions in the past,” Buttigieg said in November 2021.. “That helps everybody. I don’t know why anybody would be against reconnecting people who have been divided by discriminatory decisions in the past.”

Joe Biden – a Racist Became President

 

by Mustang

Joseph Robinette Biden, a former United States Senator from Delaware, a former Vice President of the United States, and currently the President of the United States, is a filthy racist.  We know this because of Joe Biden has made overtly racist remarks for the entire period of his political career (fifty years) and has associated with others who are equally overtly racist — and he’s gotten away with it.  

 

Not once has any Democrat, male or female, white person, or black person, elected or an appointed official from the federal, state, or local government ever called him on it.  And one might imagine that a black person serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, or any sitting federal judge, or any black member of a state court, would have been offended by Joe Biden’s racist remarks.  If any such person was offended, they kept it to themselves. 

Worse, perhaps, is that despite Biden’s overt racism, millions of black people voted for him anyway.  One must wonder why.  Could it be because black people often use racial epithets toward one another and give no thought to it unless it can help score political points?  That certainly must be the case among white snowflakes who benefit directly from the Democratic Party’s racism. 

 

There have been dozens of examples, but none more egregious than Biden’s response to a media question about his presidential rival on 31 January 2007: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate, and bright, and clean, and a nice-looking guy.  I mean, that’s a storybook man.” 

 

In 2012, Biden told a campaign audience in Virginia that if the American people elected Mitt Romney, that his fiscal policies would “put y’all back in chains.”  The media’s reaction equaled that of black people and high officials in Virginia or the federal government: crickets. 

Artur Davis, the former four-term Democratic congressman, had tough comments for Joe Biden.

Davis: Biden’s remarks ‘racial viciousness’

 

 

 

Apparently unaware that Hispanic people have been part of our nation almost from its beginning, presently numbering more than sixty-million, Biden observed that Latinos resist getting their COVID vaccinations because they are afraid of being deported.  Again, crickets.  And should anyone have mentioned any of these examples, the canned explanation is, “Well, that’s just Joe being Joe.” 

 

And, Joe being Joe, he also referred to Latinos as “Latin-X,” a woke term deeply resented by 97% of Hispanics living in the United States.  Almost in the same breath, Joe Biden demeaned every black air corps officer who served in World War II by “white-splaining” that black men didn’t want the COVID inoculations because of experiments conducted by the CDC and USPHS (1932-1972), the so-called Tuskegee Experiment.   

 

Try to imagine how long it would take for the political left to scream bloody murder after any GOP president in history made similar comments.  So, this disgusting double standard is exposed for all to see, and yet, Democrats feel no shame or regret.  Joe being Joe.  Democrats being Democrats — which also explains how this country ever got around to embracing Margaret Sanger’s plan to rid the country of black people through abortion.  It was a plan publicly endorsed and admired by Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

In August 2020, Joe Biden suggested that if you’ve seen one black, you’ve seen them all.  Speaking to a gathering of black and Hispanic journalists, Biden said, “ … unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.” 

 

 

 

In the same interview, President Biden responded to a question tendered by a black reporter, who asked whether or not Biden had taken a cognitive test.  Here’s how President Biden responded: “That’s like saying you . . . before you got in this program, you’re take [sic] a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not.  What do you think?  Huh?  Are you a junkie?” 

 

In 2010, Senator Biden warmly eulogized Robert Byrd (D-WV), a former high official of the Klu Klux Klan by saying, “ … he was one of my mentors.”  No one has a hard time believing that what Biden said is true.  In 2006, Biden ridiculed people from India by saying, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunk’ in Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.  In 1977, Biden predicted that forced bussing to desegregate schools would cause his children to grow up “in a racial jungle.”  We cannot say whether Biden’s racial jungle impacted his children — we can only say that none of the children who survived into adulthood turned out very well.  Although, this could be a DNA rather than a racial issue.

Exclusive letters obtained by CNN show Joe Biden resisted mandated busing to desegregate schools during his time in Congress.

 

 

 

Joe being Joe, he hired Kamala Harris as his Vice President after she accused him, during her presidential campaign, of ruining her childhood.  In my opinion, Joe Biden is a filthy racist, but I think it’s a leap to imagine that he destroyed her adolescent years.   

 

What he did do, though, while serving as Chairman of the Senate Judicial Committee, is hurt one of the greatest men in our country’s history — and here is how that man put Joe Biden in his rightful place [extract, American Rhetoric Online Speech Bank]: 

 

Senator Biden: The committee will please come to order.  Judge, tough day and tough night for you, I know.  Let me ask, do you have anything you’d like to say before we begin?  And I understand that your preference is — which is totally and completely understandable — that we go one hour tonight, 30 minutes on each side. Is — Am I correct in that? 

 

Judge Thomas: That’s right. 

 

Senator Biden: Do you have anything you’d like to say? 

 

Judge Thomas: Senator, I would like to start by saying unequivocally, uncategorically, that I deny each and every single allegation against me today that suggested in any way that I had conversations of a sexual nature or about pornographic material with Anita Hill, that I ever attempted to date her, that I ever had any personal sexual interest in her, or that I in any way ever harassed her. 

 

A second, and I think more important point: I think that this [hearing] today is a travesty.  I think that it is disgusting.  I think that this hearing should never occur in America.  This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media, and this [your] committee and this body validated it and displayed it at prime time over our entire nation.  How would any member on this committee, any person in this room, or any person in this country, like sleaze said about him or her in this fashion?  Or this dirt dredged up and this gossip and these lies displayed in this manner? How would any person like it? 

 

The Supreme Court is not worth it.  No job is worth it.  I am not here for that.  I am here for my name, my family, my life, and my integrity.  I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person in this free country would be subjected to this. 

 

This is not a closed room.  There was an FBI investigation.  This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment.  This is a circus.  It’s a national disgrace. 

 

And from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I’m concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.  You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.” 

 

The judge was Clarence Thomas, whom Joe Biden ambushed and assaulted with his clandestine “op research” while trying his best to defeat the nomination of Thomas for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Proving of course that not only is Joe Biden a filthy racist, but he’s also a despicable human being.  So, reader, you tell me how it was possible that the American people elected such a man to the presidency.

Ebonics and woke culture – the lowest possible common denominator

by Mustang

In 1979 an attorney representing black students at Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School in Ann Arbor, Michigan, sued the school district in federal court, alleging that the school denied black students “equal protection under the law” because Michigan’s educational standards failed to recognize the social, economic, and cultural factors that made blacks different from white students.

The plaintiffs made several ludicrous claims in the suit, all of which the court rejected except for the last issue, which was that the school district must find a way to identify black English speakers in school and use that knowledge in teaching students how to read standard English.  The decision was somewhat vague; I’m not sure how school district officials complied with the court order.

In December 1996, the Oakland California Unified School District resolved to recognize the legitimacy of Ebonics in classroom instruction.  For the unaware, Ebonics is also known as African-American Vernacular English.  Other, less charitable people sometimes refer to it as “nigger talk” and “gutter English.”  We frequently hear it recited in rap.  Now, honestly, rap is a word, but it has nothing to do with music, so I try to avoid making such a connection.

Culture

An example of Ebonics might be, “Yo blood, I won axe you sompin.”  In describing “rap,” someone has taken pains to elaborate further by describing it as “spitting” street vernacular.  Apparently, this is how blacks talk to one another in their neighborhoods, where men commonly refer to women as “ho’s” and “bitches,” and male friends are M-F-ers.  Impressed with these expressions, Oakland school officials thought it would be a nifty idea to recognize this way of talking as an acceptable standard for teaching black students.

The resolution called for mandating classroom instruction in Ebonics to “maintain the legitimacy and richness of such language [and] facilitate their acquisition and mastery of English language skills.”  The school district also thought it would be a good idea to pay teachers more money to demonstrate mastery of gutter talk in their classrooms.

The resolution set off a firestorm of controversy, as it should have.  The arguments ranged from claims that Ebonics is not an acceptable language in any country (including any African country) to those who wanted federally funded programs to consider applying Ebonics to bilingual programs.  Not even Jesse Jackson was behind this idea, describing it as “disgraceful.”  Jackson, of course, later reversed his position.

Oakland USD last modified its resolution claiming that Ebonics was a “genetically-based” language, by which these educators argued that black students were biologically predisposed to gutter talk.  They claimed that the origins of Ebonics were part of the Niger-Congo language family and not mere dialects of English.

Since 1997, no one has demonstrated any value to teaching blacks children Shakespeare in gutter language.  One can only imagine what Hamlet, Act III, Scene I might look, or sound like in the gutter talk of the majority of our black populations:

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep…”

Notwithstanding that particular controversy, we have progressed to gutter culture, spoken most often as “Woke Culture.”  Rather than proclaiming, “It is time we awaken to certain realities,” is has become fashionable to say, “Be woke, blood.”  And so, it has come to pass, thanks in considerable measure to the communist media, black activists, and other morons who stumble around in the night.  But such an expression is not recently arrived in our crumbling society.  Black folk singer Huddie Ledbetter (also known as Led Belly) first used “woke” in a 1938 song — “bess stay woke.”

Uh-huh.

The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest usage to a 1962 New York Times article titled, “If You’re Woke, You Dig It.”  The article’s author was black writer William Melvin Kelley, who sought to describe the appropriation of black talk by white beatniks.  Now we have white “rappers” who are clearly advanced in such proficiencies.

In 2010, “woke” meant to suggest romantic infidelity.  Within a few years, the expression morphed into meaning an awareness of (mostly) racial discrimination — in both cases popularized in musical verse.  Following the police shooting death of Michael Brown in 2014, activists associated with “Black Lives Matter” seized the “woke” expression as their standard.  Since then, the term has become a familiar refrain on “black Twitter” (which, presumably, no well-educated person can read).  It was spoken so often that brainless white kids began using it and applying it to their own meaningless lives.

Now we have “Woke Vote” and numerous “hashtag” applications.  It is perhaps interesting to note that blacks positively hate the fact that white teenagers have stolen their favorite gutter word as their own standard, even though 99.9% of these kids have no idea what it means.

Speaking of clueless, the more recently, leftist politicians have seized the word to describe their anti-Trump/anti-White/anti-Christian/anti-Conservative positions on nearly everything.  For example, on the political left, being “woke” means accepting the argument that the United States was never a true democracy, that there is nothing exceptional about the American Republic, and that the United States deserved the attack on 9/11.

Well, of course, it’s true that the United States has never been a true democracy; it’s a Republic.  But who among us, with two or more functioning brain cells, doesn’t know that?  Here’s something else that’s true: there’s nothing exceptional about that part of our society that raises gutter language and behavior as their standard — but that’s the terminus of progressive attitudes, policies, and programs.

Black and Minority Voter Approval for President Trump At Record Highs

 

Rasmussen Reports released their latest polling of likely black voters of President Trump’s job approval is now over 40%:

Black approval and other non-white approval of the job POTUS is doing are today at 43% and 55%, respectively.  The Democrats, well, they are at 30% approval. Nobody apparently likes urban riots:

After I put this together I realized this was from June.. I can’t believe the numbers have changed much. Here tis:

No, Donald Trump is not going to win anything close to a majority of the black vote in 2020, but he doesn’t have to. If he just wins 20% of the black vote he is guaranteed to win the White House, and if he wins 25% of the black vote (which is within his reach) he wins in both an electoral and a popular vote landslide.

In fact, a recent Rasmussen poll of likely black voters shows that support for Trump by Black Americans has surged after the recent rioting by the left to 40%! While it is unlikely that Trump will win 40% of the black vote, it shows that his support from the black community continues to build even after the tragic murder of George Floyd. H/T: Gateway Pundit

Progressives must be shocked apparently that their democrat devotees are not as impressed as they are regarding the violence and mayhem that is going on in their cities.

Let the awakening continue. Nope, Blacks not buying the kool-aid as seen. Just the Progressives.

NJ Dems start process that would lead to pay Blacks reparations

 

“Addressing our systematic challenges must begin with understanding how slavery here in New Jersey effects us all,” says @ASWReyJackson on the creation of a New Jersey Reparations Task Force

Democratic state Sen. Sandra Cunningham says that it’s time “we begin the long and painstaking process to rectify our past,” according to the AP.

And with that, New Jersey matches California in becoming the land of fruit and nuts.

Just how it is determined who is in for some bucks is yet to be determined but I am sure this government committee will find a way. I doubt forty acres and a mule is the amount they have in mind. Here it is from the Garden State:

Some estimates say 30 million people would be in line for a check from Uncle Sam.

The New Jersey legislation takes the hard-left’s “critical race theory,” which claims that all white people are inherently racist and that racism is ingrained in our society — “structural racism” — from liberal college campuses to the statehouse.

“The Task Force will focus on repairing structural racism in New Jersey that can be traced back to slavery in the state and around the country, and recommend targeted policies and investments in Black communities that will address the lasting damage of America’s — and New Jersey’s — original sin,” the Institute said in the release.

Assemblywomen Shavonda Sumter, Verlina Reynolds Jackson and Britnee Timberlake along with the Legislative Black Caucus introduce legislation which would establish the “New Jersey Reparations Task Force”.

Little Swedish girl raped by Africans, Authorities could care less

We have a few more years before Whites are in the minority. Let this be a wake up call. The savages are upon us. The progressives would have us look the other way in the name of political correctness. The so called women’s organizations remain mute.

This story illustrates what life is already like for girls growing up in what leftists have made of Sweden:

Two African migrant students, most likely Muslim, groped and fondled two little girls at their middle school, and eventually raped one of them in the bushes. However, when angry parents demanded justice for their molested daughters, school management had just one thing to say.

On a Saturday in October, two young girls were attacked by a pair of African students who attended the same Swedish school as their victims, according to The Tundra Tabloids.

The terrified girls were sexually assaulted by the boys, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy the rapists-in-training. One of the migrant boys took his victim behind the bushes on the playground and brutally raped her as her friend stood by helplessly.

When the father of the rape victim found out about the attack, he immediately demanded that the school remove the boys and hand them over to the authorities. However, the school refused, smugly claiming that this was just normal adolescent behavior, and that “boys will be boys.

School officials chastised the parents of the girls, bringing up political correctness and accusing the devastated fathers of racism. …

The boys will remain at the same school as their victims, free to rape again, and the school has spoken of no planned disciplinary actions or cautionary steps to prevent another attack.

The deputy headmaster of the school stressed “human equality,” suggesting that the parents were simply prejudice and playing into racial stereotypes, the father explained.

“You shouldn’t divide them into us and them, there’s no such thing. We must keep this on an individual level,” said the deputy head teacher during a meeting and then chose to let the two Africans go on as usual at the school.
