SJW suffer selective outrage syndrome

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Virtue signaling social justice warriors have some blind spots. They deface the Castleman statue and demand its removal without grasping the full context of John Castleman‘s story.

But never mind the facts. Hide that horrible monument from the WOKE folks. Their pure hearts have never made mistakes or been in need of longterm enlightenment.

Have the WOKE warriors ever watched clips of Muhammad Ali when he promoted racial segregation? Ali fiercely preached against white and black people dating or daring to make babies.

“Every intelligent person wants his child to look like him. I want to blot out my race and lose my beautiful identity? Who want to spot up yourself and kill your race?”

No one is throwing paint all over the Muhammad Ali Center or on Muhammed Ali Boulevard signs because he used to believe that “Chinese people wanna be with Chinese. Pakistanis want to be with their own kind.”

Our self-appointed Social Justice Warrior city purifiers have missed a few other “evil racists” who are posthumously honored in Louisville. Why haven’t they stomped on the evil, racist, criminal Bingham family, or a newspaperman who wrote of his vile hatred of African Americans?

It’s selective outrage, that’s why. Most Louisvillians have likely traveled hundreds of times on the Watterson Expressway, named for The Courier-Journal’s first editor Henry Watterson. His nickname was Marse, which means “master.” Message!

Here are some facts about Good Ol’ Marse Watterson from a 2018 CJ 150th anniversary retrospective:

Considering Watterson’s horrible sins from 100 years ago that are overlooked by SJW, should we rename I-264 as Hypocrisy Highway?

It sounds as if Henry Watterson would have loved the late Senator Wendell Ford, who famously said the n-word on the WHAS Radio in 1995, a few years after the Binghams sold their media properties.

Sen. Wendell Ford, parttime radio shock jock

No one is defacing signs or buildings where Wendell Ford or Henry Watterson are celebrated. Nor is any social justice warrior demanding that the Bingham name be stricken from any place of prominence.

Mary and Barry Bingham Sr. via The Courier-Journal

Hmmm. Another heaping helping of SJW blind spotting? Let’s meet several generations of the heralded Bingham family of Louisville.

CLICK: BINGHAM BOOK EXCERT IN VANITY FAIR

From the book “The Patriarch, the Rise of Fall of the Bingham Dynasty” comes this little gem about our progressive newspaper publisher and his wife. Barry Sr. and his wife Mary Bingham (both deceased) regularly used the affectionate term “our dear n*gs” when referencing the hired help at their massive Glenview estate.

In another Bingham book called “House of Dreams,” it is noted that Mrs. Bingham had the family swimming pool drained after an African American son of their gardener took a swim in it. The Bingham’s sons Barry Jr. and Worth invited the teenager to swim, and were later stunned at their mother’s racist reaction.

Horrors! The University of Louisville couldn’t yank Papa John’s name off of its football stadium fast enough after John Schnatter used the n-word in a training call, but U of L proudly houses a Bingham named therapy center connected to its medical school.

Schnatter was referencing raw language used by KFC founder Col. Harland Sanders when he reportedly said the n-word. Papa John’s life was completely dismantled as the pizza company forced him off the property, revoked his chairman status, and scrubbed all references to him from its marketing. Papa John was ghosted by the very company he started all by himself.

Total double standard virtue signaling from a weak-kneed, over reactionary U of L administration. Bingham bucks are fine, Schnatter’s are not. Uh, OK.

About 100 years ago, the money to buy The Courier-Journal (and later WHAS Radio and WHAS Television) was acquired by Judge Robert Worth Bingham, a man deeply in debt and aware that his college girlfriend had just inherited $100 million. Just weeks after burying his wife Eleanor Bingham, Robert “Bob” Bingham was wooing the widow of the founder of Standard Oil.

How convenient. Bingham and Mary Kenan Flagler were soon married. They agreed that Bob would not be included in her will, all proceeds slated to return to her Kenan family of origin. That is, until the new Mrs. Bingham suddenly became addicted to morphine. She needed it for chronic pain from the syphilis her loving hubby gave her.

Once Mr. Bingham convinced the ailing Mrs. Bingham to sign a codicil granting him $5 million dollars from her vast estate, she was thoughtful enough to die not long thereafter.

WHAS building

The raw truth is that The Courier-Journal, WHAS Radio, WHAS-TV, and Standard Gravure (rotogravure printing) were funded by syphilis. So are the many philanthropic projects directed by the Bingham family.

Filthy rich but burdened with poor decision making, Mary Kenan Flagler Bingham had little chance against a scheming playa saddled with crippling debt.

Robert Worth Bingham, syphilitic media magnate

Should we crush the memories of 19th century greedy horndogs, Nation of Islam segregationists, or anyone who pursued the wrong cause, or used vile racist language over 100 years ago? Or fifty years ago?

In spite of the seedy acquisition of Bingham wealth, it did boost Louisville’s arts, health, and outdoor offerings. Must they be scrubbed from history like the pizza nitwit uttering a racist word?

Hell, no. The journey from 1776 to 2020 was lined with enlightenment, compassion, and willingness to change. Human enlightenment accelerated through the 1960s and has expanded mightily in recent years.

People stumble or use unsavory words in public that are ironically plentiful (and accepted) in music and theater arts.

Tribalism threatens to send everyone back to their specifically segregated segments of communities, and that is regression.

When sanity returns and human frailty is recognized, SJWs will be on the wrong side of history. Social Justice Warriors are the Senator Joe McCarthys of today. Their crusades to annihilate people are not unlike the Salem witch trials. Kill ’em first, check facts later.

Let people learn from their mistakes without eradicating their very existence just to make an accuser feel saintly. One finger pointing at another leaves four pointing back at you. Chooooo chooooo…and the karma train never forgets.

The Squad would never endorse Barack Obama today

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

No way Barack Obama could win the approval of progressive Democrats today. Listen to his 2014 comments on migrants seeking asylum based on crime and poverty in their homeland.

B.O. ain’t WOKE, y’all. The Squad (aka Jihad Squad, Facade Squad, Sistah Squad, and a thousand other names) or Reps. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley are dragging older Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to the far left, a losing strategy.

The Squad: Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley

Omar has a Twitter trail of anti-Semitic comments. Tlaib, too, casts aspersions upon supporters of Israel. Pressley demands that people of color advocate only for their own people. Ocasio-Cortez is the main driver of the Green New Deal, an economically impossible climate change reboot.

Centrists still determine the outcome of elections. Their votes combined with extreme left or right positions add up to majorities. Fringe fanaticism is loud but that doesn’t guarantee victory. It’s the quiet ones who remain in charge.

President Donald Trump’s rally crowd in North Carolina chanted “Send her back” as Trump talked about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s supposed “hatred” of America and anti-Semitic comments.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Trump “is onto something” in illustrating extreme positions of The Squad, but that their support of socialism is more widespread than just these four freshman congresswomen.

Identity politics have consumed The Squad, asking people to represent their own ethnicity above all other considerations.

It seems as though The Squad’s criticism of America will be the driving force for Republicans running on patriotism through the 2020 election.

Will the $15 minimum wage legislation ever pass? Nope.

The Squad wants America to pay the “marginalized” but there is little evidence that selective payouts will ever come to fruition.

After all of America’s racial progress in the past 50 years, it seems that Barack Obama’s 2014 attitude makes him the stranger in a strange land today.

Meanwhile, The Squad faces rough sledding if they limit themselves to placating only those who look like them, worship like them, or rage like them.

MAKE AMERICA LISTEN AGAIN: Kentucky high school boys Make America Garish Again, some blame needs to be assigned to adult chanters and Native American drummers encroaching on students’ space

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

There is plenty of blame to go around as we learn more about the heavily publicized story of high school boys mocking a Native American drum chant group.

It turns out the lead agitator at the Lincoln Memorial was from the Black Hebrew Israelites, demeaning nearby white people as “peckerwoods” and labeling Native Americans as “savages” and “Uncle Tomahawks.” (He begins shouting at the Kentucky students at about 59:00 in the video).

The video comment threat includes this breakdown of events:

Jerkbag Buttington III
7 hours ago
1:06:45 threatening an innocent bystander with violence
1:07:40 calls the kids “incest babies”
1:15:20 calls the kids “future school shooters”
1:24:53 is booed when he lets loose with homophobic slurs
1:27:00 “there will be no peace until there is bloodshed”

There is additional video evidence that the mostly white group of Kentucky students was approached by the Native American group with their videos rolling, as if to manufacture a narrative. The initial posted videos all began with the Native Americans appearing to be surrounded.

Oh, wait…maybe the media beatdown of the Kentucky students was done with limited knowledge of the total picture. The Courier-Journal’s Joe Gerth completely destroyed every one of the white kids and no one else involved. Virtue signaling with selective outrage is the surest sign of a weak argument. Either all of the combatants are wrong or they’re not. Creating one villain just by skin color, Joe Gerth, is lazy and irresponsible commentary.

For the second time in a week, Kentucky Congressman John Yarmuth may have overplayed his hand before learning more complete details of a big news story. Yarmuth took the bait of a flawed Buzzfeed story about Trump. It was later refuted by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Now Yarmuth is suggesting a daunting limitation on free speech, suggesting that teenagers can’t wear Trump political gear. This from a newspaper publisher who is usually overprotective of First Amendment rights. Wow!

After 24 hours of traditional media and social media vilification of the Covington Catholic students (including my original post at the bottom on this page), student Nick Sandmann posted his account of what happened. It is decidedly different from the news accounts circulated worldwide claiming he was mocking Native American Nathan Phillips as he banged a drum in his face.

CCH student Nick Sandmann and native American performer Nathan Phillips

Statement of Nick Sandmann, Covington Catholic High School Junior, Regarding Incident at the Lincoln Memorial

I am providing this factual account of what happened on Friday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial to correct misinformation and outright lies being spread about my family and me.

I am the student in the video who was confronted by the Native American protestor. I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 4:30 p.m. I was told to be there by 5:30 p.m., when our busses were due to leave Washington for the trip back to Kentucky. We had been attending the March for Life rally, and then had split up into small groups to do sightseeing.

When we arrived, we noticed four African American protestors who were also on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I am not sure what they were protesting, and I did not interact with them. I did hear them direct derogatory insults at our school group.

The protestors said hateful things. They called us “racists,” “bigots,” “white crackers,” “faggots,” and “incest kids.” They also taunted an African American student from my school by telling him that we would “harvest his organs.” I have no idea what that insult means, but it was startling to hear.

Because we were being loudly attacked and taunted in public, a student in our group asked one of our teacher chaperones for permission to begin our school spirit chants to counter the hateful things that were being shouted at our group. The chants are commonly used at sporting events. They are all positive in nature and sound like what you would hear at any high school. Our chaperone gave us permission to use our school chants. We would not have done that without obtaining permission from the adults in charge of our group.

At no time did I hear any student chant anything other than the school spirit chants. I did not witness or hear any students chant “build that wall” or anything hateful or racist at any time. Assertions to the contrary are simply false. Our chants were loud because we wanted to drown out the hateful comments that were being shouted at us by the protestors.

After a few minutes of chanting, the Native American protestors, who I hadn’t previously noticed, approached our group. The Native American protestors had drums and were accompanied by at least one person with a camera.

The protestor everyone has seen in the video began playing his drum as he waded into the crowd, which parted for him. I did not see anyone try to block his path. He locked eyes with me and approached me, coming within inches of my face. He played his drum the entire time he was in my face.

I never interacted with this protestor. I did not speak to him. I did not make any hand gestures or other aggressive moves. To be honest, I was startled and confused as to why he had approached me. We had already been yelled at by another group of protestors, and when the second group approached I was worried that a situation was getting out of control where adults were attempting to provoke teenagers.

I believed that by remaining motionless and calm, I was helping to diffuse the situation. I realized everyone had cameras and that perhaps a group of adults was trying to provoke a group of teenagers into a larger conflict. I said a silent prayer that the situation would not get out of hand.

During the period of the drumming, a member of the protestor’s entourage began yelling at a fellow student that we “stole our land” and that we should “go back to Europe.” I heard one of my fellow students begin to respond. I motioned to my classmate and tried to get him to stop engaging with the protestor, as I was still in the mindset that we needed to calm down tensions.

I never felt like I was blocking the Native American protestor. He did not make any attempt to go around me. It was clear to me that he had singled me out for a confrontation, although I am not sure why.

The engagement ended when one of our teachers told me the busses had arrived and it was time to go. I obeyed my teacher and simply walked to the busses. At that moment, I thought I had diffused the situation by remaining calm, and I was thankful nothing physical had occurred.

I never understood why either of the two groups of protestors were engaging with us, or exactly what they were protesting at the Lincoln Memorial. We were simply there to meet a bus, not become central players in a media spectacle. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever encountered any sort of public protest, let alone this kind of confrontation or demonstration.

I was not intentionally making faces at the protestor. I did smile at one point because I wanted him to know that I was not going to become angry, intimidated or be provoked into a larger confrontation. I am a faithful Christian and practicing Catholic, and I always try to live up to the ideals my faith teaches me – to remain respectful of others, and to take no action that would lead to conflict or violence.

I harbor no ill will for this person. I respect this person’s right to protest and engage in free speech activities, and I support his chanting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial any day of the week. I believe he should re-think his tactics of invading the personal space of others, but that is his choice to make.

I am being called every name in the book, including a racist, and I will not stand for this mob-like character assassination of my family’s name. My parents were not on the trip, and I strive to represent my family in a respectful way in all public settings.

I have received physical and death threats via social media, as well as hateful insults. One person threatened to harm me at school, and one person claims to live in my neighborhood. My parents are receiving death and professional threats because of the social media mob that has formed over this issue.

I love my school, my teachers and my classmates. I work hard to achieve good grades and to participate in several extracurricular activities. I am mortified that so many people have come to believe something that did not happen – that students from my school were chanting or acting in a racist fashion toward African Americans or Native Americans. I did not do that, do not have hateful feelings in my heart, and did not witness any of my classmates doing that.
I cannot speak for everyone, only for myself. But I can tell you my experience with Covington Catholic is that students are respectful of all races and cultures. We also support everyone’s right to free speech.
I am not going to comment on the words or account of Mr. Phillips, as I don’t know him and would not presume to know what is in his heart or mind. Nor am I going to comment further on the other protestors, as I don’t know their hearts or minds, either.

I have read that Mr. Phillips is a veteran of the United States Marines. I thank him for his service and am grateful to anyone who puts on the uniform to defend our nation. If anyone has earned the right to speak freely, it is a U.S. Marine veteran.

I can only speak for myself and what I observed and felt at the time. But I would caution everyone passing judgement based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer video clips that are on the internet, as they show a much different story than is being portrayed by people with agendas.

I provided this account of events to the Diocese of Covington so they may know exactly what happened, and I stand ready and willing to cooperate with any investigation they are conducting.

###

This is the only statement that has been made by the Sandmann family. Any comments attributed to any member of the family that is not contained in this document are fabricated. The family will not be answering individual media inquiries.

——-

Bottom line: High school boys shouldn’t shout at old people whether or not they felt invaded. High school students also shouldn’t wear political gear to DC on a March for Life. The Native American elder should not have breached the high school kids’ cheer circle. These reps of Black Hebrew Israelites are hate spewing troublemakers hoping to create conflict.

THIS IS MY INITIAL BLOG POST, WRITTEN WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LENGTHIER VIDEOS THAT ADD CONTEXT TO THE ENTIRE SITUATION

How in the world could the guardians on a high school trip to DC for the March to Life allow this to happen?

Does anyone at Covington Catholic realize the irony of busing young men to a “March for Life” only to have them scatter about and torment an elderly Native American trying to perform his tribe’s ritualistic music at an Indigenous Peoples March?

Nathan Phillips, the elderly Native American, served in the United States military in Vietnam. He describes the incident in the tweet posted below.

Is this who we are?

UPDATE: School officials have responded, saying “We will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.”

The Archdiocese of Covington tweeted an apology to Nathan Phillips and all Native Americans.

When Ricky is on, the WHAS call letters transform to WOKE

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

I love Dr. Ricky Jones. He brings passion to everything he does in life. He’s black. I’m white. Neither one of us can totally grasp the other’s challenges but our pigmentation certainly affords me an advantage in life.

I can’t fully change the trajectory of anyone’s life; that’s up to every person walking this earth. The one thing I can do is listen. And I do.

During today’s Ricky Jones radio appearance, a hateful person phoned my producer to declare that Ricky is an f-ing n-word.

And this, my friends, is the crux of our societal woes. Racists slinging epithets instead of listening. A majority of people of all colors won’t listen to anyone who doesn’t affirm their narrow views. Sad!

Comparing the University of Louisville to Vito Corleone’s money laundering Genco Olive Oil Company? Brilliant! That’s why I love Ricky. He brings a passionate, thoughtful, provocative, and often humorous approach to everything he does.

Nothing wrong with being WOKE, people. Don’t sleep through denial. Embrace reality.

Here are a few of the emails I received during Ricky’s appearance today:

1) You just interviewed a raving lunatic.
So black is not good enough, they also have tobe liberals or it doesn’t count. Bleh. . .

2) Terry, those remarks Ricky made should not be aired. For him to proclaim that the Louisville University degrees to be worthless only a front for a money laundering’s scheme is preposterous and embarrassing. Then for him to say regarding Vince Tyra, “whatever in the hell his name is”. That is so unprofessional and wrong in so many ways. We know you have him on because he brings a different point of view but we feel as though his words and tone insights anger and hostility. His comments today were insulting to our entire city. Please refrain from having Ricky Jones on your show again.
Thanks, Moe

3) I’m curious as to why you give so much air time to Professor Ricky Jones. It would be interesting to hear from an African American man who looks at life and current events from a different perspective from his sometimes. Thanks for considering this.
Sent from my iPhone

4) You let Ricky Jones say that the stupid person who called your show and used the N word “is America”. I’m offended! I’ve never used that word and I AM AMERICA!!!! He continuously said he didn’t care what people think. Well, I don’t care what he thinks! I’m not giving my opinion because only I care about it. I wish he would keep his opinion private. I’m tuning out! Mary Hamilton

5) Terry, I wrote to you about John Yarmouth but today the interview with Ric Jones was highly offensive. U of L a money laundering opporation. You give this racist 50000 watts to spit out that garbage. I and my son are U of L grads and for the life of me I don’t know how this racist keeps his job. Can’t imagine what he does in the classroom. Thought you should know.

6) On Sep 5, 2017 5:53 PM, “John Fawbush”
Terry, I have listened to your show for years and rarely miss it because you do such a great/fair job on your interviews. That being said, the interview with John Yarmouth was over the top. So much that I will turn your show off anytime he is on in the future. He is the poster boy for left wing political views. Fairness be dammed. Don’t know how he keeps getting elected. I thought you should know.

7) Hi Terry…….
Hey, I was listening to your show today for a while as I was driving. I catch parts of it on most days and really enjoy it. I wanted to pass along a few compliments because I am sure, like everyone, you get all the critical stuff but none of the good.

• Today when you were interviewing a police officer (forgot his name)…..I noticed two things. You gently clarified his use of “gentleman” in terms of Australian culture protecting him from some crazy person just looking for a reason to complain when he clearly didn’t mean to compliment a murderer. Then when you asked him what could be an incendiary question about automatic rifles, you prefaced it with a positive about the second amendment. Now, I know this is your profession and it may not seem like a big deal to you….but my guess is that protecting your guests on the fly like that is not easy. I have heard you do the same for various other guests who, clearly, were not trying to say something rude or negative.

• As a white, conservative dad with a son born in Africa, I really appreciate how you handle race issues. It’s a tough thing for a guy in my position…you never know which side is right. But you span the range of having the “Urban Twelve Days of Christmas” (Hilarious, by the way) to having thoughtful interviews with African Americans in our community about various topics or issues of the day. That’s great because we all tend to take ourselves too seriously and I appreciate how you thread that needle.

• Lastly, I really appreciate the way you treat everyone on air. It is easy to see you care more about people than you do trying to be edgy or whatever. The way you handled the recent story with coach Pitino says something about your character. The facts….but not like many others who just trashed the man. I have never been a fan of his but it’s easy to trash someone in his position and pretend we have never made a mistake. You haven’t done that.
Anyway, as a transplant from Texas (Gig ’em Aggies!) I enjoy your show because it’s fun and I usually learn something about the Louisville area or the Commonwealth that I previously didn’t know.

Blessings to you and yours….
Steve

Farrakhan calls for kills, Barkley brings the chill

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

There’s lots of bad information being distributed following a Ferguson, Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for shooting Michael Brown, who had just stolen from a convenience store and was confronted by Wilson.

ferguson sign

An altered version of the middle sign became a sensation on the Internet:

Screen shot 2014-12-02 at 12.30.37 PM

———————————————–

Perhaps the worst response comes from Nation of Islam leader Rev. Louis Farrakhan, extolling the virtues of young blacks rioting and saying, “Let’s die for something.”

According to Nation of Islam leader Rev. Louis Farrakhan, peaceful protests are yet another manipulation by the white man over people of color, justifying violent retaliation by African Americans.

A recent St. Louis murder by minority teenagers beating a white-skinned Bosnian man to death with hammers has some people speculating it was a retaliation kill for the death of Michael Brown, the thief who was shot by white police office Darren Wilson in nearby Ferguson. Police say the hammer killing was not racially motivated, although another white male says he was surrounded an hour earlier by the teens with hammers but managed to escape with a few cuts and bruises.

In a recent speech at Morgan State University, a black college in Baltimore, Farrakhan talked of violent retribution for police killings in both Ferguson and New York City, saying that young African Americans will no longer accept peaceful protesting. Farrakhan even talked of babies “throwing bottles” as a metaphor for Molotov cocktails.

Despite rabble rousing by Farrakan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al., African American police officers have not stepped outside their ranks to choose color over the fuzzy haze of hyperbole and emotional action out. Sheriff David Clarke, above, states what most law enforcement personal are saying in private.

As for Farrakhan, there has been very little media clamor over his call to fight.

From the Washington Times:

“In this book, there’s a law for retaliation,” he said.

“As long as they [whites] kill us [blacks] and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they gonna keep killing us,” he said, to a roar of applause. “But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”

Holding the Koran, Rev. Farrakhan cited “a law for retaliation” as the audience roared its approval. Farrakhan’s call for violence against whites should lead to criminal charges of inciting violence and terroristic threatening.

It certainly would become a national story if a white preacher demanded violence against blacks over the death of a white person by a police officer of color.

Meanwhile, NBA announcer Charles Barkley took a decidedly different approach to the Ferguson rioters, calling them “scumbags” and saying if black neighborhoods didn’t have police protection, it “would be the wild, wild West.”

Barkley also cracked wise on the NBA, NFL, Bill Cosby, Pope Francis, Kim Kardashian, and LeBron James.
