Search For Leftist Paradise Continues

Black Friday proved to be exactly that for many unsuspecting shoppers on Chicago's magnificent mile. As thousands of black Lives Matter affiliated protesters locked arms and blocked entrances to numerous businesses sending would be shoppers away. These latest protest are in response to the release of a police dashcam video surrounding the shooting of black teen Laquan McDonald by white police officer. The video appears to show 17 year old McDonald, armed with a knife moving away from Police when officer Jason Van Dyke opened fire, shooting McDonald 16 times killing him. The video also shows that 14 of the shots were fired into the teen as he lay on the ground. Even some in law enforcement have condemned the shooting.

Although the shooting took place in October 2014, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration sat on the video for an entire year in what looks like nothing more than political expediency. Emanuel was in an election year and like he has famously stated on record- "never let a good crisis go to waste". Immediately after the release of the video two weeks ago, officer Van Dyke was arrested and charged with first degree murder. The protesters however are not satisfied and are calling for Emanuel's ouster. Yet again, a major American city is the epicenter of unrest surrounding a fatal confrontation between a white police officer and a black man. And once again it's a city run by Democrats. Left wing organizations, activist and black elites have an entrenched trust and support for leftist politicians. Democrats have reigned over large and predominantly black constituencies like Chicago for decades with dismal results. Rahm Emanuel, Chicago native, served nearly two years as Obama's chief of staff. To no surprise receiving a rubber stamp endorsement from the President.

From Ferguson to Baltimore to major college campuses, the left is in full rebellion against its own. Thanks to the media and the indoctrination by its elites, they have been told that these same elites are their friends and protectors from the racist and intolerant- this notion is now unraveling. And there isn't a university, elected official, or a police department that is safe from the mobocracy. Is there any place in America where the activist left isn't unhappy with? Apparently not, even when they are running it. Their liberal university cocoons still seem to be infested with enough hostilities which require "safe spaces" for them to escape to. The biggest irony of all is that even the left hates the very political systems that they fight so hard to create and maintain.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
