U.S. Has Never Occupied Mexico

 May 15, 2012 -  Tiffany Gabbay 

As it turns out, the Spaniards occupied Mexico for some 300 years and even the word Hispanic was one employed by the Romans when they occupied what now is Spain. So, the Spanish language that is spoken across Latin America is a result of Spanish occupation. Likewise, it was Spain that occupied Mexico for hundreds of years.

In 1846 the Mexican-American war began in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas. Mexico considered Texas part of its territory despite the Texas Revolution nearly a decade prior. Mexico never acknowledged Texas’ independence.

Ultimately, the Americans won the war with Mexico but on February 2 ,1848, the two countries signed the Treaty of Guadalupe which stated that U.S. troops would withdraw from Mexico, including Mexico City and take ownership of the Southwestern United States.

What’s more, the U.S. agreed to buy the land from Mexico for $15 million, even though it was won squarely in victory and there was no obligation to do so. Not at any time did the United States occupy nor rule Mexico. The United States did not subject Mexicans to our form of government nor did it leave troops stationed in the country.

Black and White: Who’s Killing Whom?

by: da Tagliare - April 25, 2012

Ever since George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin a month ago, it seems that everyone is talking about racial crimes. Every time a non-black commits a violent crime against a black person, certain black activists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson crawl out from the cracks like cockroaches when the lights go out. They do their best to make everything into a racial hate crime, whether it was or not.

So I thought it was about time we take a look at racial crimes and see just who is committing the crimes against whom.

According to a study conducted by the Scripps Howard News Service, white on black killings rose from 3% thirty years ago to 4% today. Black on white killings rose from 6% thirty years ago to 8% today. In other words, there are twice as many black on white killings as there are white on black killings.

On our local news last night, they reported white on black crimes in Ohio are running at 3.2% while black on white crimes are more than double, running at 8.2%. Worse yet were the black on black crimes, which had state and local officials alarmed. They never said exactly what the black on black rate was but indicated that it was significantly higher than the white on black and black on white figures combined.

With state and national statistics showing that black on white crimes are twice that of white on black, where are the racial activists screaming hate crimes? Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson when a black person kills a white person? If they were honest and sincere about wanting to stop racially motivated hate crimes, they should be fair and make the same accusations when the color is on the other side of the gun.

If they don’t think many black on white crimes are racially motivated, they need to think again. A former job of mine would take me into a predominately black area of a large metropolitan city. I was threatened by blacks of all ages and sexes. I’ll never forget the day a black preschooler came up to me and called me an f’n honky and then told me to get my white ass out of his neighborhood.

So my advice to black activists like Sharpton and Jackson is to start with their own house, clean it up first before they try to start cleaning up the houses of others. They need to spend more time working with blacks, especially those in major cities, start changing their racist attitudes and then maybe they’ll see a difference in the rest of American society.

One Step Closer To MLK's Dream: Court Upholds Affirmative Action Ban

Opponents arguments are simply racist and misleading!  To illustrate how misleading, lets take a look at FACTS:

According to US Census information from 2010, the racial demographics of the United States are as follows:

White:      72.4%
Black:      12.6%
Hispanic:  16.3%
Asian:        4.8%
Native:       0.9%

Next let's take a look at 2009 enrollment rates in degree-granting institutions by race, according to the Dept. of Education:

White:       62.3%
Black:       14.3%
Hispanic:   12.5%
Asian:         6.5%
Native:          1%

As you can see, it is actually whites who are the most under-represented race within degree-granting institutions.  Hispanics are also under-represented according to 2009 data; however, it is worth pointing out a recent pew study reveals that college enrollment of Hispanics from the year 2009 to 2010 has increased dramatically, and continues to rise!  The most OVER-represented race within degree-granting institutions...blacks!!!

One of the most important factors to consider in acceptance to colleges and universities include the simple prerequisite of a high school diploma.  Yet, a 2010 study on graduation rates by race shows that: 80.7% of Asians and 76.6% of whites graduate from high school, while only 55.5% of Hispanics, 53.7% of blacks, and 50.7% of Natives graduate from high school.  So doesn't it make more sense that lack of this simple prerequisite (a high school diploma) plays a bigger part in college enrollment than race or other factors?  Yet, despite the poor graduation rates, blacks and other minorities find themselves OVER-represented in colleges and universities.  The REAL issue is increasing high school graduation rates among these racial groups, rather than discriminating against the other racial groups based on skin color.

When opponents complain about lack of diversity on campus, they intentionally mislead by forcing the assumption that there are the same amount of candidates enrolling from each race.  As you can see above, that simply isn't the case.  They ignore the fact that one of the nation's largest minority groups, Asians fare well in acceptance to colleges and universities, as they remain more qualified.

The real issue remains...the definition of racism is "a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering a doctrine of discrimination {based on race (color of skin)}.  Affirmative Action is clearly nothing more than government sponsored racism.  It's time to stand up for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of judging on content of character, rather than color of skin.  This is a GREAT place to start! 

Associated Press - April 2, 2012

Affirmative action proponents took a hit Monday as a federal appeals court panel upheld California's ban on using race, ethnicity and gender in admitting students to public colleges and universities.

The ruling marked the second time the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals turned back a challenge to the state's landmark voter initiative, Proposition 209, which was passed in 1996.

Affirmative action proponents, who had requested that the court reconsider its 1997 decision after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2003 that affirmative action could be used in college admissions, said they would continue fighting.

"We think the decision is wrong," said Detroit attorney George B. Washington, who is representing the group of minority students and advocacy groups that filed the latest challenge in January 2010.

Washington said he would ask the full appellate court to review the case since this decision was issued by a three-judge panel.

In its ruling, the court rejected the plaintiffs' arguments that a new ruling is needed and said the previous decision still applies.

Ralph Kasarda, attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation who had argued in favor of the ban, said the court's decision was not surprising since the issue had already been decided. This case was redundant and baseless, he said.

"The bottom line from both decisions by the 9th Circuit — today's and the ruling 15 years ago — is that California voters have every right to prohibit government from color-coding people and playing favorites based on individuals' sex or skin color," Kasarda said in a statement.

At least six states have adopted bans on using affirmative action in state college admissions. Besides California and Michigan, they include Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Washington.

Advocates of affirmative action say such bans lead to the exclusion of minority students and less campus diversity.

In California, the year after ban was adopted, the number of black, Latino and Native American students at the University of California's most prestigious campuses — Berkeley and Los Angeles — plummeted by 50 percent, according to the plaintiffs cited in the court opinion.

The university has tried to compensate for the drop in those students by using other admissions criteria, including a "comprehensive review" of applicants, admitting the top 4 percent of graduates from any high school and decreasing the weight of standardized tests, the opinion said.

But affirmative action proponents say the measures have not been enough to boost opportunities for historically excluded minorities.

Although blacks, Latinos and Native Americans comprise about half of California's high school graduates, they make up only 19.5 percent of the current freshman class at UC Berkeley. Whites compose roughly 30 percent and Asians 48 percent. The remainder is out-of-state students.

"All you have to do is walk into any classroom, and you can just see it. There's like one black or Latino student," said Maria Belman, a history major at UC Berkeley and a plaintiff in the lawsuit. "To say that it isn't a problem is just a lie."

Belman said the lack of diversity creates a hostile climate to minorities on campus and puts more pressure on the minorities who are there.

"There's racism in our society," she said. "You need something to make up for that."

Backers of affirmative action bans say ruling out race, gender and ethnicity criteria guarantees that all applicants are treated fairly and not discriminated against.

The issue has led to protracted legal battles in several states.

In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court said the University of Michigan Law School could consider race in admissions decisions to promote campus diversity.

That decision led to a three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturning Michigan's affirmative action ban last year. The full appellate court, however, has agreed to reconsider the case.

In February, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear another case against the University of Texas, alleging that use of affirmative action is discriminatory. If the court decides against the university, the ruling could definitively end consideration of race in public university admissions.

Critical Race Theory Pushed in Omaha and Nation's Public Schools

“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.” 
- Obama

With Breitbart's release of the elusive "Obama/Derrick Bell's Critical Race Theory" video on March 8th, it has come to national attention the administration's push to introduce "Critical Race Theory" (aka: Racist Indoctrination) into public school systems across the country.

Yesterday, Breitbart.com reported on a group known as Pacific Educational Group (PEG) who, with the approval of the Obama administration, and under the guise of closing achievement gaps between black and white students, is promoting teaching methods that discourage “black and brown” students from conforming to an inherently “white” -- and therefore racist -- curriculum. PEG also encourages teachers to conform to the presumed cultural backgrounds of students, rather than focusing on norms of assessment and accountability.

A promotional video for PEG explains that the organization targets “white culture” as the source of the problems that minority students face.

Critical Race Theory, which began at the margins of the legal academy, has been picked up by race-obsessed radicals and is being woven deeper into the fabric of government education--with Obama’s apparent blessing, and at taxpayer expense.

Unfortunately, Omaha does not escape the racist agenda.

Many are already aware of the push by the OPS system to begin indoctrination of students and staff. The school district has already spent more than $130,000 in taxpayer-funded federal stimulus money to purchase 8,000 copies of a book pushing racial discrimination, "The Cultural Proficiency Journey".

The book, being pushed by the Progressive Research Institute of Nebraska contends that only those educators who acknowledge the existence of white privilege in America, that "white" is a culture in America and that race "is a definer for social and economic status" can reach proficiency. Those who score poorly on a worksheet are asked in the book what they will do "to align yourself with the values expressed."

Karen Abrams, board president of the Progressive Research Institute of Nebraska, challenged OPS to implement culturally proficient practices throughout its system including hiring more teachers who reflect their students' ethnicities.

It is evident that indoctrination isn't exclusive to our colleges and universities any longer.
