"Long time ago, back in the mist of time Back when the crystal waters flowed There was a world so strange and so beautiful All life would flourish and would growYears went by, time just fell away Love was worshiped like the sun But as we arrive at the house at the waterside We're living in strange times Do dodo do dodo doooooooo
Strange times, strange times" ~Moody Blues~
These are strange times indeed.
Consider the following: An anti Gay republican was accused of trying to get his freak on with a black male prostitute on the Internet. A mega church preacher from Florida was found dead up in a Zoo York hotel room with drugs in his possession. (Hold the offering plate.) WTF is going on with you preachers,lately? They are shooting at politicians in Brooklyn. (Wait, this isn't Jamaica.) Negroes are hanging from towers in Oklahoma and refusing to come down. White folks in Louisiana love Wal*Mart so much that they are literally masturbating in the parking lot. (Must be all the beautiful people coming in and out...)
I swear, those Moody Blues dudes were right on the money.
OK, speaking of money, The Help pulled in a little over 25 million this weekend. That's a decent opening by any measure. I am sure that most of you are not surprised. There is nothing A-merry-cans love more than seeing those "dignified" blacks of the civil rights era and the white folks who felt their pain telling us about it.
Over at The Grio the director and producer of The Help was lamenting the fact that some folks are just too critical of the movie:
"theGrio: What made you decide to direct 'The Help?'
Taylor: I am from Jackson, Mississippi, and this story really pulled at my heartstrings and my nostalgic urges. The moment for me, was when Aibileen and Mae Mobely's characters came to life in the manuscript. I was immediately thrust back, to years ago and I thought of Carol Lee, the woman who helped my mother raise me.
Kathryn Stockett had a very similar situation in her adulthood, where she began missing her nanny. It made her start writing short stories that ultimately became The Help.
I knew I wanted to direct the movie, as soon as I read the manuscript. I got the rights to the manuscript a year before the book was even in print. Kathryn had been turned down by 60 agents, and she said "Tate, I have this book, nobody's interested, you can read it if you want." I did read it, and I was immediately blown away.
So you had a black nanny growing up in Jackson, Mississippi?
Yes I did. Her name is Carol Lee. She is still in my life, she came out to the premiere of the movie and walked the red carpet and everything. I put her in the film too. You know the scene where Skeeter goes to the house and all of the maids have come together to help tell their stories? She is the first woman that tells Skeeter that she wants to help write the book.
So is Carol Lee proud of 'The Help?' Does she feel your depiction of maids in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960's is authentic?
She was so proud of the movie. So thrilled. Absolutely. She has been one of my strongest supporters.
What was your most memorable experience while making this movie?
Every day was a memorable experience. What I remember the most was the sense of joy, that so many friends were together. Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney, and Kathryn Stockett and so many others. We were able to tell this personal story on our homeland and tell it in a way that we felt was accurate...
What do you say to people that say this film did not accurately represent black maids of south during the 1960's?
I want them to tell me, what their version of accurately is. People are being too critical of this film.
It's so perplexing to me. Kathryn set out to write a book not about victims. She wrote a book about four women that were victims of circumstances of their surroundings. The book is about courage and love and integrity, and talking to whom you consider to be your enemy and finding common ground. Kathryn has said, she would never be equipped or interested in writing a historical, fictional account of the civil rights movement. It's just a story. My job as a director and person who is adapting a novel that is a monumental success is not to go take what she did and make is something that it's not. That would be more offensive and wrong. This is art, this is an expression in storytelling, and this is the particular story that we are telling.
I think anyone who sees this movie will feel that Aibileen and Minny are the most courageous, brilliant, smart, and spiritual loving humans on the planet, and oh yeah they have on a uniform. I didn't film these ladies scrubbing toilets.
I didn't want to have a yard man beaten with a crowbar because he went to use a white bathroom. We have seen that, done before and we know it. That takes away time and moments for me to show the layers of these women. Conversely, that's why I had one of the maid, Yule Mae taken off of the bus and beaten with a club. That's not in the book, but I am trying to show that yeah, horrible things happened in the South, but through a character that means something to the storyline. That's filmmaking.
The scene where Viola Davis sitting on a toilet in a garage in 108 degrees, and then a white woman comes out and tells her to hurry up was visually brutal. To me that's worst than seeing a lynching. It just is." [Source]
I am sorry folks, maybe I need some Kumbaya juice or something, but I just can't get behind the whole I took my nanny to the premiere and she was on the red carpet with me thing. The word patronizing comes to mind.
Mr. Taylor talks about the book being about finding common ground, and about the maids being these "courageous" and "spiritual" human beings; which I am sure that they were. But something is missing. And it's the same thing I see missing every time I watch one of these movies about the civil rights era in A-merry-ca. The story is never being told by the oppressed but always the oppressor. The narrative is always the same: Oppressor finds their humanity and helps the oppressed and becomes a hero to us all.
Sadly, I guess it has to be that way. How else are you going to sell 25 million dollars worth of tickets?
I personally refuse to hand over money to another "Mighty Whitey Saves the Day" movie. And with his explanation - it certainly sounds like "Magic Negroes" too. Not my cup of tea. Rather watch Cowboys and Aliens.
ReplyDeleteMelissa Harris-Perry reviewed this movie a few days ago on MSNBC.
ReplyDeleteDon't watch this tripe till you have heard her views. You would be embarrassed to see it otherwise.
In other words, this movie is crap.
"Consider the following: An anti Gay republican was accused of trying to get his freak on with a black male prostitute on the Internet.

White folks in Louisiana love Wal*Mart so much that they are literally masturbating in the parking lot. (Must be all the beautiful people coming in and out...)"
ReplyDeleteThat's not all, a black woman in Atlanta was spotted reading a book that wasn't about a black woman. A black man in Ohio was observed working a job to support his wife and children. And President Obama wondered aloud today if maybe, just maybe, there was some connection between his policies and the dismal economic situation. Also, Joe Biden was allowed to come outside for some exercise as long as he promised not to say anything or relieve himself in the bushes.
Strange days indeed.
The billboards alone turned me off - it like a Hallmark card with two happy maids on the side.

ReplyDeleteWhere are the Anons when you need them?
Here's a little news for you movie-goers.
ReplyDeleteThe Help is NOT a documentary.
It's a feature film made with the primary goal of enriching the people who made it. It's a collaborative effort of people trying to make a movie that will sell the most tickets.
I repeat, it's NOT a documentary.
A feature film has no obligation to present viewers with facts.
I didn't exactly read the book--I listened to the full-cast audiobook. It was pretty clear to me that the real author of the book-within-a-book was Aibileen, not Skeeter. Not that Skeeter isn't smart--the book was her idea--but she's the front woman, just as McCarthy-era blacklisted writers needed a front man in order to keep writing and make a living. It's Aibileen who starts the book with the story of her son's death. It's Aibileen who keeps a diary and writes and edits the chapters of the book with the stories of the other maids. And it's Aibileen who closes the book with thoughts of writing her own book. (Her second book, I claim.) If that doesn't come across in the film--if Skeeter comes across as "Mighty Whitey," then that's just a darn shame, and it's the screenwriter's and director's fault.
ReplyDeleteField,
ReplyDeleteThe 'Black Experience' isn't what we would like it to be all the time. An example is I have a cousin who goes to jail like he's going to the store. I'm more offended by crap like that then sista's trying to make a living. But I see your point that Hollywood misses those good ole' days.
The scene where mold was sitting on a toilet in a garage in 108 degrees, and then a white woman comes out and tells him to hurry up was visually brutal.
ReplyDeleteHe emptied his colostomy bag in his shoe and walked out, making all those squishy noises.
"Nipsy, I see you have jokes. It looks like the other Nipsy wrote them for you."
ReplyDeleteI get all my material from the White Shadow. Did you hear that the President was going around the country on his bus tour feeding people? He's passing out Obama sandwiches; one piece of white bread, one piece of wheat bread, and nothing in between.
Rimshot!
I had heard this was a good book, nothing specific, just something about life in the South. I checked it out of the library, started reading, and after the first chapter or so, had to stop. It was offensive to me, and I am a middle aged white woman, living in Alaska.
ReplyDelete-needless to say, I won't be seeing the movie.
"I repeat, it's NOT a documentary.

Correction, this a feel good movie for rich white liberals.
The American elite's attitude is that the worst sin is to try to understand race honestly.
The liberal whites who run Hollywood don't actually care much about blacks or other minorities. Nor are they consumed by White Guilt.
They'll never blame themselves, you'll notice, just other white people, ones they already despise (rural, religious, working-class). What they truly care about is claiming social superiority over other whites by demonstrating their exquisite racial sensitivity.
The typical white intellectual considers himself superior to ordinary white people for two contradictory reasons:
a] He constantly proclaims belief in human equality, but they don't;
b] He has a high IQ, but they don't.
To many elite whites, minorities are just useful pawns in the great game of clawing their way to the top of the white status heap.
As Paul M. Sniderman has shown, those with less schooling or lower incomes tend to judge people as individuals, applauding blacks who work hard, remaining skeptical of those who do not, and expressing strong reservations about the efficacy of government programs. By contrast, upper-status whites, like upper-status blacks, speak easily of endemic white racism and want categorical government programs to address it (if with growing doubts as to whether they will make a difference).
Field you make a good point. It is true that too often the story of black folks struggles are told by whites. It is an outgrowth of the fact that whites are in the majority and sometimes folks who have gone through so to speak don't always see the value in writing it down.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Field is unfortunate!
And unfortunately, the majority has a need to see themselves in the best possible light, for obvious reasons.
Nobody really wants to think of themselves and their group as bad nor do they want to own up to their atrocities. They always want to think "it wasn't that bad."
Its why many folks in the majority discount the struggle that blacks have had to endure. When they say get over they are really saying, it wasn't that bad.
Its also the problem with liberalism. They will help you, but their way.
Notice the director foolishly thinks sitting on the toilet in the heat is somehow more insufferable than watching a lynching. Really!
He will probably want to take that statement back. But it's why the movie has relevance, because some people haven't a clue.

I don't know man, only time will tell how swelter-crapping will match up against watching a lynching. You never know how these things will turn out.
Perhaps the long term relevance of this movie will be the cultural touchstone of intolerably uncomfortable toilet experiences.
A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.
ReplyDeleteThe little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.
The man, who was a priest, said, ‘I am a Father..’
The little boy replied, ‘My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that.’
The priest looked up from his book and answered, ”I am the Father of many.’
The boy said, ”My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn’t wear his collar that way!’
The priest, getting impatient, said. ‘I am the Father of hundreds’, and went back to reading his book.
The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said, “Maybe you should wear a condom, and put your pants on backwards instead of your collar.”

Yes, Cowboys and Aliens is the lone (white) gunman slinging against injuns..er...aliens. But, no expects is upholding that movie as a lesson race relations. Its a geek fantasy through and through.
The Help, OTOH, is a farce through and through. Its the 'missionary position' of movies - dark savages requiring good hearted white folks to save them. And too many people would see this white wash as gospel truth.
"The Help, OTOH, is a farce through and through. Its the 'missionary position' of movies - dark savages requiring good hearted white folks to save them. And too many people would see this white wash as gospel truth."
ReplyDeleteI doubt anyone would see a 'movie' as the gospel truth, unless they had a need to.
Do you see Perry's movies of Blacks as the gospel truth? That's far more degrading than The Help could ever be.
Blacks will line up Perry's movies, which show Blacks in the worst ignorant light, but complain about The Help as a movie that puts down Blacks.
It's the same old story: we bitch about what the wm is doing to us, yet we say 'nothing' about what we are doing to ourselves..which is 10 times worse. Blacks make me sick with their hypocrisy.
Got a good maid story for you Field. A Black woman works for the Griffith family for most of their lives. One day the son made a movie. He made one of the most important movies in cinema history. The maid chastised the son Dwark, ridicule him and quit. That man was D.W. Grifith and the movie "Birth of a Nation" aka "The Clansman". Let's see them make a movie about a maid quitting working for a white racist family in those times. That's took guts.
ReplyDeleteO/T
I see your racist trolls are getting out of hand.
Another problem I have with these "maid" movies is the revisionist view of the movie. White folk wasn't that nice to the help back then. Some now days STILL aren't. I wonder if Fox produced the movie? Fox actually did the new "Planet of the Apes" movie. Is Hollywood trying to tell us something subliminally?

Tims grew up as a drug addict in Maryland when he was “miraculously saved” according to his website and a memoir published in 2006.
In 1996, he and his wife Riva moved to Orlando, where they founded the New Destiny Christian Center.
As the church grew, it was able to bestow lavish benefits, even giving away cars to members, according to its website.
Tims’s memoir and self-help book, “It’s Never Too Late: How a teenage criminal found his divine destiny and became a successful millionaire and pastor of a thriving church,” released through Charisma House Publications in 2006, sold “fairly well,” moving around 23,000 copies, said Woodley Auguste, the imprint’s director of marketing and publicity.
In 2009, Tims and his wife Riva divorced after he admitted to a year-long affair with a stripper. The couple had been married for 15 years.

it really does sound as if you are very insecure and don't have very much self esteem mixed in with some delusions of granduer, as well as clearly not knowing or understanding the story. Why in the world would you assume that a movie about Apes becoming intelligent enough to escape and go live in a forest is about you?

ReplyDeleteJust in time for the TeaHadi Fundies to get rid of your non-gawdly self. And yes, they would murder you...except they know society would respond.
Many businesses are like the fictional lemming. They are ardent followers. And getting financed would be easier if you could sell the work as GWTW in the post-war US. When lots of wites had it real good.
We also might wonder who is the Sugar? Since many posters whine and wail about the Soros...they might be interested in seeing who is paying.
Who paid for Sarey, Queen of the Mat-Su? Who funded VeggieTales...Bibleman...or some other poorly written screed?
You-all notice how many wite folk now claim to be Civil Rights people? If they all had come South and actually placed their bodies on the line...the struggle would have been much shorter. Maybe they were too busy being imaginary Viet Nam war vets?
And since when is harassing pregnant women the 'exact same' as being set on by dogs and fire hoses? AfAms and women are using their Constitutional Rights...and others are doing whatever they can to prevent these Rights.
Why are so many wite folks yearning for the Bad Old Days?

ReplyDeleteWhen Spike Lee was in his prime Hollywood wouldn't finance him.
First, you have no ideal what it takes to get a movie financed. Second Spike Lee received financing to make a number of movies that glorified blacks.
Guess what? The box offices sales were low. That's the whole story. If Lee shot movies that brought enough people into theaters, he would have found more backers.
The subject doesn't matter. He could have created a black Dirty Harry who spent his days killing whites on Park Avenue. If there were ticket sales, the money guys would have knocked on his door.
Whites don't want to see strong black men standing up to white people.
When people go to the movies, they want entertainment. Wish fulfillment may be part of it. If it's your wish to see blacks standing up to whites, there's a large number of movies for you to watch.
White Hollywood HATES "Do the Right Thing" and "Malcolm X".
Are you really this dumb? Hollywood loves a blockbuster. Hollywood is not a charity.
Do the Right Thing is still making money, though it was no blockbuster.
Malcolm X was a money-loser. I've seen it on TV. It's boring.
Guess which studio Tyler Perry works for? Fox. Another good reason to Boycott them. Fox don't want to see a movie with a strong black man confronting whites, it might start a spark or something.
Hey moron, it's all about money. If the money guys think an idea will sell tickets, the idea gets financing. Very simple.
But as history shows, no one in Hollywood can predict the popularity of a movie. Most fail at the box office. A handful carry the rest.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Mold,
I read in the previous post that you were a published author. In reading some of your other comments really am interested in reading your book or paper. Was it a book or a scientific paper that you had published? Could you share it with us, perhaps a link?

Mold,
Sorry is this directed to me? I don't understand, if you are published doesn't this mean you wrote something because you want to share your creative ideas or scientific knowledge with others? What is "malkinstalked"?
Maybe you could just post an excerpt of your published paper or book here so we can get an idea, what was the topic? Fiction? Science? Sure if it is commercially availible you would want sales so maybe we can help.
Thanks

If you have to insist that you've won an Internet argument, you've probably lost badly.
Unfortunately, the majority of the time, declaring victory is just spin: a last desperate attempt to trick people into believing you came out on top (providing that they don't actually go and read the discussion, of course). Sometimes, the individuals declaring victory may well be convinced that they're right; often they'll have gone into the discussion knowing that they're right and with no possible option that they might be wrong. When combined with the ability to expel someone from the discussion, Danth's Law takes on a more sinister tone - indicating that a group or individual can only defend themselves on their own terms, through the medium of extreme deceit.

ReplyDelete"Correction, this a feel good movie for rich white liberals."
No correction necessary. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. Rich and liberal whites are not the only culprits. It's rich, low-income, no-income, "liberal", "conservative","tea-party", "no-party" WHITE PRIVILEGED people period that believe just what I said. They would rather die clinging to the idea that they did no harm!
"They'll never blame themselves, you'll notice, just other white people, ones they already despise (rural, religious, working-class)." What they truly care about is claiming social superiority over other whites by demonstrating their exquisite racial sensitivity."
Where exactly do you think today's crop of "elite" came from... the rural, the religious, the working class!
"The typical white intellectual considers himself superior to ordinary white people [no such thing in a white privileged society] for two contradictory reasons:"
"To many elite whites, minorities are just useful pawns in the great game of clawing their way to the top of the white status heap."
That's most whites, engaged in white privilege, in general that are in the great game of clawing their way to the top of the white status heap! That is what white privileged racism is predicated on.
"As Paul M. Sniderman has shown, those with less schooling or lower incomes tend to judge people as individuals, applauding blacks who work hard, remaining skeptical of those who do not, and expressing strong reservations about the efficacy of government programs. By contrast, upper-status whites, like upper-status blacks, speak easily of endemic white racism and want categorical government programs to address it (if with growing doubts as to whether they will make a difference)."
All I can say to this is to read my previous responses because it seems to me that you are still trying to state a difference between the rich white/the poor white, the intellectual white/the uneducated white, the liberal white/the conservative white. If they all readily engage in white privilege THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.
Rick Perry:

ReplyDeleteKeep dropping that truth.
On another point, the anon goober is touching on a common complaint amongst white rightwingers and bigots.
That it is perfectly understandable and indeed normal for whites to hate and fear blacks. We are terrible you know.
They despise white liberals who they feel are being "dishonest" or "racked with guilt".
Or as Mold touched on, the ridculous notion that white liberals use us shiftless lazy criminal blacks to gouge and burden the real Americans, the white working and middle class.
It's a baseless pile of horseshit but every white working or middle class person who has voted Republican in the last 40 years has fallen for it and is worse off for it.
"Any Rick Perry scandals?"
ReplyDeleteOutisde of being scandalously dumb?
Perry claims out of one side of his mouth to have created 1/3 of the new job in Texas over the last 4 years.
Out of the other side of his mouth, he claims the government can't create jobs.
Duh.
"To many elite whites, minorities are just useful pawns in the great game of clawing their way to the top of the white status heap."
ReplyDeleteExplain this please although I doubt that you will.
---------
"Clawing their way to the top of the white status heap" is, more or less, the only game in town. White solidarity has no appeal to white intellectuals and writers simply because they believe, condescendingly but also fairly accurately, that they don't face significant nonwhite competition. The vast majority of their rivals are other whites.
Thus, America's verbal elite favors affirmative action and illegal immigration—nobody from Detroit or Chiapas is going to take their jobs.
For American citizens on the whole, however, especially for poor African-Americans who desperately need the options provided by having a decent-paying job, illegal immigration is a massive problem.
And affirmative action is paid for by working-class whites.
This is how the ruling white liberal class stays in charge - by playing off everyone else against each other.

ReplyDelete--------
But there is. (See response to uptownsteve above.)
White privilege is a myth. White solidarity is the only kind of ethnic identification that is not accepted in our culture.
"By cheering on counterproductive attitudes, making excuses for self-defeating behavior, and promoting the belief that 'racism' accounts for most of blacks' problems, white intellectuals serve their own psychic, ideological, and political interests. They are the kinds of friends who can do more harm than enemies."

Chicago-based historian and activist Paul Street cuts through the fog of fantasy and wish-fulfillment that makes up much of political discourse in the U.S. left for a sober assessment of the Obama administration in the real world of power and empire. The Empire's New Clothes uniquely measures Obama's record against the expectations many of his supporters hoped he would live up to. Taken together, it is a startling indictment not just of the current president and his people-proof, reform-proof but an indictment of what passes for the U.S. left.
It assesses Obama's newly emergent record on domestic and foreign politics against his original agenda for change. Although mainstream journalists have noted discrepancies between Obama's original vision and reality, Paul Street uniquely measures Obama's record against the expectations of the truly progressive agenda many of his supporters expected him to follow. Taken together, the list of Obama's weakened policies is startling: his business-friendly measures with the economy, the lack of support for the growing mass of unemployed and poor, the dilution of his health reform agenda, the passage of a record-setting Pentagon budget, and the escalation of U.S. military violence in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Street s account reveals these and many other indications of how deeply beholden Obama is to existing dominant domestic and global hierarchies and doctrines. His new book yields a perspective on Obama and current politics that is scarcely found in mainstream media. No progressive reader will want to miss it!

It's so pervasive that you see phenomena like red counties in California wanting to secede to create their own state, using "fiscal responsibility" as a talking point--even though the suburban counties in question are net drains on the state, while the Los Angeles and San Francisco counties from which they want to secede are net providers.
There is a mass delusion in whitebread suburban America that they are the real America, and that they are being oppressed by high taxes to pay for poor minorities, even though the reality is actually the reverse: urban centers pay the bills for parasitic suburban lifestyles, which are ultimately unsustainable socially, fiscally and environmentally..."

Barack Obama actually said it: a truncated form of the hackneyed rich man's expression, "a rising tide lifts all boats." The cliché was a fixture of trickle-down Reaganics and the Bush I and II permutations, as well as the Clinton deregulationathon. Now Obama employs it to justify his refusal to offer any programs to "address historical and emerging racial disparities." The twisted logic goes something like this: "The deeper Blacks sink into the abyss, the more they are eligible for general assistance - therefore, the Obama plan already contains everything African Americans need as a group, and will be of more use to them than to more advantaged groups." Thus, the nation's first Black President turns the misery index on its head.
In his own clichéd words, President Obama reveals himself to be, at best, ambivalent on the need to confront historical and current racial disparities in the United States. Behind the awesome hype and intellectual façade lies your garden variety corporate-bought politician whose worldview is no deeper than the shallowest catchphrase in long-discredited American economic discourse: a rising tide lifts all boats.
So confident is Obama that his personal Blackness is all that is required to offset horrific realities such as New York City’s nearly 50 percent Black male non-participation in the formal job market – statistics from 2003 that have certainly worsened in the current crisis – he offers not a single programmatic response. Obama is quick to point out that his plan is “is designed to help all people” – another way of saying there’s nothing in it to address the specific problems of people of color.
Obama insists that health care is one of his irreducible priorities. Yet he cuts supporters of single payer plans out of the loop to embrace congresspersons friendly to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, who will ultimately sabotage his own jury-rigged health scheme. New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is already scuttling the boat, with an industry-written alternative to the Obama plan. The kiss-of-death proposal would require any “public” health insurance program to operate precisely as if it were a private insurance plan, effectively negating its reason for being.
The lessen settles in, slowly. President Barack Obama’s administration is not only “race-neutral” – it is essentially change-neutral, as well.

While this is true, it is only partially so.
The ruling class is both liberal and conservative, they have both opinions and at various times one tactic works better for them than the other.
But it is true that the ruling class plays us off against one another. Even the illegal immigration issue is a divider.
And of course you are right even a good and necessary social adjustment like Affirmative Action creates division among working class whites and working class blacks.
It seems a wingnut is placing words in Paul M Sniderman's mouth...that Professor Sniderman never said.

ReplyDeleteThis is false. Corporate taxes are paid where corporate headquarters are located, in urban areas. however the actual work is done elsewhere. A much higher average level of subisization is received by urbanites.
Mold don't miss my point! I am pro Affirmative Action.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am saying is that unconscious white workers can see this as putting black folks ahead of them, which in some cases it is. Because the idea is to give black folks who were left out of certain jobs not because they were not qualified but because they were discriminated against a fair opportunity to now hold these jobs.
But you can see how a lack of understanding of the purpose could cause misunderstanding and resentment.
Mell, there are a lot of wites who will TELL you they are wonderful tradespeople...have a work ethic...and are better. I simply illustrate that sometimes...you don't go with the cost difference...but the better labour.

Again you have to be a Liar, no one can be so utterly stupid not to get the point when it is in the very words they write. If so, I can't imagine how you could keep a job unless you are nothing more then an AA Qouta.
You are specifically saying that whites invented testing and standards (standards obviously come with testing) specifically to keep the majority of blacks out of these jobs. This as in your words "they know" that the majority of blacks will NOT be able to meet the standards and pass the tests, thereby all the jobs will go to whites who can meet the standards and pass the tests.

Say what you will fact remains the Justice department, ACLU, NAACP have all sued on countless occasions claiming that tests were discriminatory against minorites as a not enough Latinos and Blacks could pass them, while whites and asians could, thus many dropped the tests, Louisiana comes to mind right away of a state claiming discrimination that dropped testing completely.

OK Steve, to end this silly debate with a man who possesses the IQ of a chipmunk look at Birmingham Al.
ReplyDeleteIt neatly wraps up all the lies and claims in all of your posts today.
Birmingham was successful in promoting blacks at all levels of the fire department. It changed the face of a department, once synonymous with fire hoses and police dogs of the bloody civil rights clashes in the 1960's, into one that more closely resembled the surrounding community.
But it did so in a way that built walls instead of bridges, the appeals court found.
"We've segregated ourselves, informally" said Capt. Charles A. Brush, who heads the white firefighter's union, the Birmingham Firefighters Association. Black firefighters have their own union, the Birmingham Brothers Association.
The affirmative-action program began when Richard Arrington, Birmingham's first black mayor, signed into law a consent decree that began an unbending one-to-one hiring and promotion schedule for blacks and whites.
Developed by the city and the United States Justice Department as an answer to a discrimination suit by black firefighters, the program was heralded at the time as a blow against the racist politics of the past. But it went too far, white firefighters said. Black candidates, however, complained that a part of the program that gave whites seniority points was still unfair because the whites, as a group, had much more time in the department.
Under the program, which reserved slots for blacks, white firefighters who scored consistently in the top 10 on examinations for promotion to lieutenant were routinely passed over to get to black candidates who ranked as low as 87.
For example, in 1983, 95 whites and 18 blacks took a lieutenant's examination, and 89 whites and 9 blacks passed. Two whites and three blacks were promoted to lieutenant.
The city picked the whites who ranked first and second then passed over 76 other whites to promote the three highest-scoring black candidates.
"It became purely race, not merit," said Lieutenant Hatton, who was passed over again and again for promotion even though he scored in the 90's on the 100-point test. Meanwhile, blacks who had scored as low as 48 on the same test were promoted. "It killed our enthusiasm," he said.

I suggest that he spend a day perusing through the academic file cabinets of white Greek houses where he will locate backdated droves of the exams and papers that impress him so much. I suggest that he spend a day with some excellent international students. (I recommend Africans, Asians, or Jamaicans.). He should hang out in a computer lab with a few Internet wizards. They could download some term papers or theses to dazzle him from websites that are all owned by white students. He should chat at length with them about things generally foreign to all American students, irrespective of race or class. They should discuss things like work ethics, starkly idyllic American dreams, ethnic mentors, and cultural unity.
McWhorter and his ilk intensify racism and oppression by championing the mythical inferiority of African-American students from elite black families who attend elite white academic institutions. I am one of those students. It is why I loathe McWhorter so deeply for his completely libelous, personally offensive, lauded pack of lies!!!!

ReplyDeleteSAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures finished at a record level Tuesday after climbing $27 an ounce as investors remained on the defensive following weakness in global stock markets and disappointing data on European economic growth. Gold for December delivery rose $27, or 1.5%, to settle at $1,785 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The previous closing record was Wednesday's $1,784.30. The Federal Reserve's easing policy and Europe's slowing growth offer "plenty of fuel for the fire to see gold go higher," said Jeffrey Wright, senior analyst of metals and mining equity research at Global Hunter Securities, who has a six-month gold price target of $2,000.

President Bush did more to try to improve education for African-American students than anyone has ever done at the federal level.
However, the only way education can be improved is at the local level.

DAYTON — The city’s Civil Service Board and the U.S. Department of Justice have agreed on a lower passing score for the police recruit exam after it was rejected because not enough blacks passed the exam.
Although many whites in rural Pennsyltucky favour Affirmative Action as their scapegoat of choice...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is fed up with Washington.
And he is doing something about it.
Spurred by what he describes as a failure of leadership on the part of lawmakers, Schultz is mounting a one-man bull rush against a political culture that has "chosen to put partisan and ideological purity over the well being of the people."
What does that mean? No more political donations -- not for anybody.
And he's recruiting other CEOs to join him.

A father has admitted to chopping his son's head off with a meat cleaver and leaving it in the roadside outside his home so that the child's mother would see it.
A passing motorist saw the decapitated head of seven-year-old Jori Lirette, from Louisiana, and alerted police.
Detectives later found the boy's body in a rubbish sack that had been dumped nearby.
The boy's father, 30-year-old Jeremiah Lee Wright, is alleged to have confessed to decapitating his son.
Jori was wheelchair bound and needed a feeding tube having been born with cerebral palsy.
Wright is said to have told police that he did it because 'he'd gotten to the point where he was tired of taking care' of the boy',
Police Chief Scott Silverii said: 'He told us when he put his head out by the side of the road it was so the mother would see it when she came by.'
He said Wright's only explanation for doing so was 'just that he wanted her to feel stupid when she saw the head'.

The use of Civil Service Exams has been to exclude AfAms...many who attended horrible Southern schools. Separate but unequal has consequences.
One might also ask what the test measures. Is it the ability to perform on an exam? Is it that one knows the 'correct' middle or upper class answer?
Many of the tests were written by Southern racists. Might they not have an agenda? How many students know what a chukker is? Or clothes press?

ReplyDeleteAdd this to the moronic claim that unemployment creates jobs and Obamas idea for job growth and reducing unemployment by giving those unemployed a payroll tax deduction.
I know, I have the solution to unemployment and increasing dependance on foodstamps, everyone quit your jobs and we all will get a payroll tax exemption (shh, I know there isn't any payroll when you dont work but don't tell Obama) foodstamps and unemployment and the economy will be booming, unemployment won't matter....woo-hoo.
Using democratic math it is a surefire way to boost the economy, pelosi says for every 1$ paid in unemployment we get 2 dollars back and now the agric sec says for every dollar given out in foodstamps we get a 1.84 back, all this even with the cost of the government confiscating others money, banking it and distributing. It's an economic miracle. Aww shucks, probably just an Obama fantasy.

A wealthy Westchester teen is facing up to four years in prison after pleading guilty to robbery Tuesday for a string of armed muggings in Central Park.
While former boarding-school student Jesse Wasserman is looking at prison time, he was promised youthful offender status - meaning his record will eventually be wiped clean and sealed.
The 18-year-old's lawyer, Norman Steiner, said Wasserman's co-defendant was the gunman in the heists - and his client just "tagged along" with the older boy he met days earlier.
Wasserman admitted to riffling through the pockets of three victims during the robberies last August on the park's East Drive near 79th St.
The duo swiped a wallet, jewelry and a bicycle after asking victims for directions. Wasserman was later arrested riding the bike, cops said.
"Yes," Wasserman said when prosecutor David Drucker asked if he'd insisted on going through the victim's pockets while his co-defendant held a .357 magnum.
Steiner said his client cooperated fully, even helping recover the weapon. Charges are pending against the other man.
"He has some issues, but he's not violent," Steiner said of Wasserman after the court hearing.
"It was a hasty action," Steiner said of the 30-minute crime wave, "not the action of a hardened criminal."
Wasserman, who was booted from the prestigious Vermont Academy months before the muggings, lives with his parents, a doctor and Diamond District shop owner, in New Rochelle.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber allowed Wasserman to remain free on $150,000 bail until his Sept. 6 sentencing, but gave him a stern warning.
"I could sentence you for the rest of your life," Farber lectured, telling the teen to stay out of trouble and cooperate with probation officials.
Farber said that if Wasserman is re-arrested, the judge will be free to give him up to 25 years on each of the three counts of first-degree robbery.

If one cannot read and does not acquire a copy of the free exam to outline the areas he should study that will be required to be understood for performance and acceptance to the job applied for. If one does not study and or learn how to improve reading comprehension, then scores low enough to fail and or barely pass. Is this person part of the lazy dumbass class?

A new article on TheRoot.com talks about the Black community’s relationship with President Obama.
The piece talks about how many in the community treat Obama like a father, brother, boyfriend or husband; and how that affects our ability to think clearly about his policies and how they affect us.
While many of us feel that way because of the pride we have in him being the first Black president, and the racist attacks launched against him, the writer says that we need to move past those things.

Well, since AB, (the “Educator”), can’t or won’t, answer any questions regarding “grading on the curve”, I’ll proffer an opinion or two:
ReplyDeleteI suspect the practice started being widely used in the 1960’s. Probably not too long after the integration of the Public Schools.
Perhaps teachers began to realize they couldn’t fail so many black children, and pass so many whites. Wouldn’t look good at all. Couldn’t have that.
So the “curve” came into play, in order pass the black children along to the next grade level. Of course, all it did was “dumb down” the ENTIRE educational process. Perhaps that’s one reason that AB claims she refuses to grade on the curve. Good for her.
Other teachers knew they wouldn’t keep their jobs long, unless an “acceptable” percentage of ALL students were herded from one grade to the next.
Now, through all the years of “dumbing down” expectations, the Public Skool “System” is a dismal failure, and we have fallen far behind the rest of the world in education.
Of course, you’re entitled to your own opinion. Please do share.

ReplyDeletei love dr. boyce watkins

The job for President Obama is going to become even more difficult, since getting out of recessions costs money. The original stimulus package in early 2008 was not only too small, it was targeted toward the very same Wall Street bankers who caused the crisis in the first place. As a result, Wall Street executives were the first to recover economically, and many of these bankers are back to getting their multimillion dollar bonuses. The Obama Administration can only blame themselves for much of this, because too many members of Obama’s economic team came right out of Wall Street themselves.
I’m sure there are top secret reasons that the Obama Administration appears to maintain more loyalty to corporate America than to the rest of us. But the president’s political aspirations may go down bloody and burning because of his willingness to play the political game instead of trying to change it. Using the title of one of the president’s books, I have the audacity to hope that President Obama has learned some political lessons and will allow his leadership to evolve over time. I truly wonder, however, if he himself has the audacity to believe he can do it.
Even more sinister is whether or not Hillary Clinton is lurking in the background, waiting to pounce on an opportunity to steal the Democratic nomination away from President Obama. I can hear the quiet little “I told you so,” from the woman whose face possesses the seasoned wrinkles of someone with more than her share of Washington battle scars. At this point, the temptation to replace President Obama with a Republican is less appealing (to most) than the idea of replacing him with a more ferocious Democrat. Personally, I hate the idea of concluding that the Black man wasn’t the best fit for the job, so a better version of Obama would be preferable to the same old Hillary Clinton.
Mr. President: You can’t spend your life trying to make your enemies comfortable. True leadership requires sacrifice and courage, almost none of which you’ve shown, especially on the issue of racial inequality. America needs a strong Commander-in-Chief during difficult times.
There’s a famous statement by Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata who said, “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” The only thing worse than living on your knees is dying on them; but this may be exactly what happens to the seemingly weak Obama presidency. By tap dancing on territory where he should have been stomping, President Obama may be slowly digging his own political grave

Horrid parenting is America's most grave crisis and best kept secret. Teachers are being ruthlessly scapegoated for literally everything that is so very wrong in American schools. Toxic parents sabotage education. Toxic students are the undereducated leaders of tomorrow. Someday, every person in America will suffer, directly or indirectly, from the parents and children who exclusively torture teachers today.
Toxic parenting is universal in America. It knows no boundaries of race or class. Reality television proves that rich white parents are often even more toxic than poor black ones. Toxic parenting entails:
Students who never behave will never learn. Students who are never taught to revere education at home will never excel in schools. Students who torture teachers will never encourage superior educators to remain in classrooms.
Academic ability is more important than ever before in our global economy. Children must now compete with global intellectuals. Retirement is a fiscal fantasy in an increasingly technological world, where students must learn many skills for perpetual job changes. Today, an inability to learn is suicidal.
Typically, private schools do not adhere to any of the genocidal and mindless tenets of NCLB. Private schools do not tolerate misbehavior or enable abusive or absentee parents. Teachers at private schools are allowed to teach, while public school teachers are forced to compulsively test and perpetually discipline. This is a tragic national disgrace!
As I grieve about leaving the wonderful babies and positive parents that I adore, I religiously read two books as therapy: Come on People: On the Path from Victims to Victors, by Bill Cosby and Dr. Alvin Poussaint, and The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America by Jonathan Kozol. I recommend these two classic books to anyone who cares about education. I hope they heal your emotional wounds as they do mine.

ReplyDeleteBoy Killed Great-Grandma With Sword: Police
Also wounded was his grandmother
By Greg Wilson
Tuesday, Aug 16, 2011
A Georgia teen killed his great-grandmother and wounded his grandmother with a sword before cops took him down with a stun gun, officials said.
Cops in Douglasville arrived at the home Monday afternoon to find the dead woman lying in the front yard and the 15-year-old boy standing in the doorway with a sword and a pellet gun, which he used to shoot out the windows of their squad car, Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller told The Associated Press.
Inside, they found the grandmother, who is in her 50s, barricaded inside a room.
She was taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Miller said.
Authorities had been to the home before on reports of the teen being violent.

“I don’t understand when people reference me as having a personal beef with Barack Obama,” said Smiley on the Baisden show. “He didn’t come in 2008, but I’ve never said anything negative about Obama other than things holding him accountable. One year later when he was the President, he spoke. If you think my beef is with him because he didn’t show up in ‘08 when he was a senator, but he did show up in ‘09 when he was president, what then is the beef about?”
West closed the exchange joking, “When somebody calls me an ‘uncle tom,’ that’s just like calling me an eskimo or a star in the National Hockey League, that’s just ridiculous.”

ReplyDelete'My Brooklyn' talks to the streets about incoming suites
KRS-One once rapped that "Manhattan keep on making it, Brooklyn keep on taking it." Twenty-five years later the popular borough is on the verge of getting taken itself. A team of filmmakers and researchers have come together to produce My Brooklyn, a documentary that chronicles the impact that gentrification is having on the community. Cameras talked to local business owners and natives about how they feel they being treated unfairly in favor of "people with money" wanting to erase their history, build new condos and move in.
The trailer above features real life commentary from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and real estate developers rationalizing why the poor must make way for the rich, even going as far as calling Brooklyn's downtown area "ugly."
My Brooklyn is still in its production stage and they have a Kickstarter page encouraging people to lend financial support for the completion and distribution of the film.

Quotas are a big deal. All employers with more than 15 staff, public, private or nonprofit, come under the EEOC's Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures. All can be sued by the EEOC for "discrimination" if the racial, ethnic and sex mix of new hires diverges sufficiently from that of all other qualified applicants—for example, if the percentage of blacks hired is lower than the percentage of blacks applying. That covers 86% of the entire non-farm private-sector work force.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, more than 400,000 corporations doing business with the federal government, covering about 42% of the private sector work force, have to file with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). This process is so onerous that the OFCCP's explanatory manual is about 700 pages long. Corporations with contracts of $50,000 or more must develop an "affirmative action plan" aimed at achieving staffing at all levels that is proportionate to the composition of the qualified work force.
Many colleges and universities are subject to no fewer than three federal agencies: EEOC, OFCCP and the Department of Education's Civil Rights Office. And finally, there are federal, state and local governments. Here a racial and gender spoils system has effectively subverted the merit hiring rules so painfully established by Progressive Era reformers at the beginning of the century.
EEOC Vice Chairman R. Gaull Silberman—a Reagan appointee—says that until she read it in a newspaper in 1990, she and EEOC Chairman Evan Kemp had "absolutely no idea" that their own agency was pressing for aptitude tests to be race-normed. This bit of bureaucrat-speak refers to the practice of radically adjusting scores to compensate for minorities' systematically lower results. Yet race-norming had been going on throughout the 1980s. It reportedly subjected at least 16 million test-takers to a quota system they knew nothing about.
After public outcry, race-norming was banned in the 1991 Civil Rights Act. But quotas, like vampires, have proved virtually impossible to kill.

You will have to excuse him he is like an idiot savant without the savant part. He will read something somewhere and then he repeats it or injects it into his posts endlessly, regardless of context. One time he was fixated on Sarah Palin and her daughter, Bush, and so on.
Give him until the end of the weel then you will see him do nothing but write about Rick Perry, but he as always will be way out of his league on that one.
Media Matters and other Soros funded blogs are shitting about Perry and trying to come up with some credible propaganda but so far have failed horribly, they tried inventing new racist buzz words framing Perry and Bachman claiming that financial accountability is code word for racists. That isn't going over very well with anyone except of course Mold, he used that today.
