DAVID DUKE. TRUMP, OBAMA, NEW BLACK PANTHERS

                             by Hugh Murray
    The media are making much of Donald Trump's alleged hesitancy to condemn David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan.  Today, former GOP nominee for President Mitt Romney condemned Trump in part because his comments on Duke will be used many times by the Democrats should Trump be nominated by the Republicans in 2016.
    Romney displays one major reason he lost his bid for the presidency in 2012 - he refuses to stand up agsinst the Left and the Democrats.  In March 2007 at a church in Selma, Alabama, at a gathering to commemorate the 1960s civil rights march across the bridge going to the state capital in Montgomery, candidate for the Democratic nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama spoke.  Another speaker was Pastor Estella Shabazz who brought greeting from leaders of the New Black Panther Party.  Their leaders were outside the church, unable to get through the large crowd, but she wanted to assure the audience that the NBPP supported Obama for president in 2008.  Later, during a march to recreate the earlier one, the leaders of the NBPP walked behind Obama with the Black Power slaute.  Members of the NBPP have been recorded on tape urging the extermination of all white people, white men, white women, white babies.  Once elected President, one of the first actions of the Obama Administration was to drop charges of voter intimidation that had been filed against the NBPP.  (Read J. Christian Adams' INJUSTICE. pp. 103=104 and the photos).
     Trump has not marched beside KKK units.  Trump has not shared a stage with a David Duke and received his endorsement.  And Duke's KKK (there are many versions of the organization) has never to my knowledge advocated violence.  The NBPP members, by contrast, have openly called for the extermination of all whites.  Obama marched beside them.  Obama shared a platform with them.  Obama won their endorsement.  Obama dropped charges against them.  AND THE MEDIA ARE WORRIED ABOUT TRUMP?!
     I shared a TV screne with David Duke, by the way.  WPIX-TV (New York City, channel 11)          “Best Talk in Town” 24 February 1987, 11-11:30 am.  This panel on race comprised: William Tatum, editor of the Amsterdam News (New York’s leading Black newspaper); Rev. Calvin Butts of Harlem's Abyssinian Baptist Church; David Duke of the NAAWP and former leader of the Ku Klux Klan; and myself.  I disagreed with all the other panelists.  This was a memorable debate.

Recalling the debate, I said little compared to the other three panelists.  When Duke declared he was for equal rights for all, I challenged him saying that in Louisiana I was for that and that is why I fought against segregation and was arrested in the first sit-in in New Orleans.  I remineded people that his background was for preferences - segregation and preferences for whites.  In effect, the half hour was 3 people against Duke.  The producers so liked the show, they decided to tape a 2nd half hour to be shown the next day, but we would continue in the studio.  Now the topic turned to affirmative action, and suddenly I was with Duke arguing that it was racial discrimination against white people.  It was now 2 against 2.  The producers decided this was not nearly as good, and they never telecast the 2nd hour.  WPIX was not a network channel, but it was owned by the NY Daily News and had a sizable audience.

Voting Rights — and Responsibilities

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to its sponsors would not give special advantages to Blacks, not would it require quotas or even racial balance in the workplace. Indeed, Sen. Humphrey contended hiring or firing for racial balance would be illegal under the CR law. Unfortunately, within a few years, behind the scenes, liberals in both parties turned the law on its head, and formulated affirmative action into anti-white, governmental required, institutional racism.
Now, whistle blower J. Christian Adams, in his book INJUSTICE, demonstrates how the anti-white racism infects the Department of Justice under Obama. The leadership is simply unwilling to enforce the law to protect the voting rights of whites. So long as we have Obama as President and Holder as Atty. Gen., we can expect more of such anti-white racism - enforcing the law when it helps Blacks victims; ignoring the law or obstructing the law when it helps white victims.
Obama's Administration is clearly racist, anti-white racist. Under Pres. Obama, all are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Better a protest movement that casts itself (however quixotically) as the defender of “the 99 percent” than one that just represents Democratic interest groups.

Douthat contends it is better for a protest to defend the 99% than narrow interests. The Nazis declared that they represented the 99% of Aryans in Germany against the 1% of Jews. The Occupy crowd is determined to have its way with tantrums and by trampling on the rights of others to open their business, sleep in a quiet neighborhood, walk in a park, etc. for weeks. The Wisconsin mobs harassed duly elected representatives. Do we want a government based upon an election in which citizens can vote, or a mobocracy of intimidating, sloganeering protestors who allegedly defend the 99%? Interestingly, the majority usually votes against the Occupy extremists.

Execution Case Dropped Against Abu-Jamal

Scandalous! The murderer should have been executed decades ago. No wonder America is infected with racist flash mobs, racist muggers, and racist murderers like Panther Mumia. The courts which have collaborated with criminals by permitting soft sentences for monsters, the university departments that specialize in excusiology, and the media that hired this jailed murderer as a commentator, all contribute to the Black Panther racist ideology that contaminates our cities. Mumia lives as American justice dies.

These are some of my comments from Yahoo.

What Are Climate Change Skeptics Still Skeptical About? "A BBC TV documentary on the history of Britain began with a look at ancient human ruins in the Shetland and Orkney islands. Remnants in the ancient ovens revealed they were eating tropical fish. Must have been very warm north of Scotland 5,000 years ago. In 1,000 AD Vikings settled Greenland, and built a community of 3,500 people living a European life with cows to graze the green land. They even had a bishop. It was warmer then than now. Then it grew cold around 1300 AD, and the settlement disappeared. In the Middle Ages the French vintners complained about imported English wines - because it was warm in England. Bottom line - it was much warmer in the Middle Ages than it is now. Humans survived and some thrived. Our climate fluctuates. Ignore the Gores and others with their computer speculations and fantasies that show little evidence of human history and natural climate change."

Jewish group applauds David Duke's arrest "Too bad free speech is not a part of the German Constitution! Remember Voltaire's comment about defending the right of people to express views with which the author disagrees. Duke should have been allowed to speak. He should not have been arrested. Anyone who uses violence, like some in Occupy Wall Street, should be arrested. Those who occupy property that is not theirs, might be arrested. But a man invited to speak before a peacefully assembled group, should NOT be arrested. We can hope that Duke is free now and that the oppressive German government stops its policies that deny free speech and other freedoms."
One of the posters on this site accused me of being KKK.  I replied that while I had never been a member of the KKK, I had been a member of the ACLU.-------Hugh
