Fmr. Arizona GOP Chairman: Take Guns Away From the Main Killers, the Blacks
PicMonkey Collage - PullenDuring last night’s Democratic primary debate, Don Lemon had the candidates respond to a question from a Drake University law student: “do black lives matter or do all lives matter?”
While today’s follow-up discussions have largely centered over whether the associated issues were discussed long enough, one Arizona man seemed unimpressed by the acknowledgment of the movement.
Randy Pullen, a former chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, tweeted out his thoughts about the various responses, and clearly didn’t mince words:

Video: Faux News' favorite coon sheriff declares there is no police brutality in America...

There is no police brutality in America': Fox sheriff blows up at ‘subhuman creeps’ in Black Lives Matter
Fox News brought on its favorite sheriff, David Clarke, on Monday to take on what he called the “subhuman creeps” in the Black Lives Matter movement.
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade argued that activists protesting police brutality in New York City over the weekend were a “slap in the face” to the NYPD because an officer had been recently murdered.
Clarke insisted that demands to end abuse of force were just “crazy talk.”
“That’s ignorance in its purest form,” the Wisconsin sheriff opined. “They’re not protests. Those people advocate for the overthrow of our legally constituted government.”
Clarke suggested that officers should stop protecting Black Lives Matter protesters so that business owners and people in the community could “clash” with them.
“Then the police can show up and arrest these subhuman creeps for creating a disturbance,” he recommended.
Clarke continued: “There is no police brutality in America. We ended that back in the ’60s. So, I don’t know where they’re coming from.”
“The president of the United States knows better, he’s playing the race game, he’s playing race politics,” he added. “He has been a nightmare and I cannot wait until January 2017 so that America’s nightmare can be over.”
“Show me the data, show me the research that demonstrates that supports that lie that law enforcement officers use and inordinate amount of force against black people!” Clarke exclaimed. “Black people use an inordinate amount of force against themselves and each other in the American ghetto.”
“There are no valid arguments! There is no police brutality in the United States!”
While research on police brutality is lacking, studies show that officers threaten to use force in about 20 percent of arrests. A 2014 McClatchy report found that young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police that white males.

Meet 'El Compa Negro', Compton's Very Own Black Mariachi
Rhyan Lowery is a 19-year-old African American from Compton, but he grew up listening to Mexican regional music — corridos, banda and cumbia. So it’s no surprise he loves some of those signature sounds.
“The accordion — it’s amazing what they can do with the accordion, and what sounds you can get from it. Also, the tuba and the Charchetta, it’s awesome! I guess that’s what draws me to it,” he says.
But the music wasn’t the only draw.
“I love Mexican women,” he says. “And Mexican women, they dance banda and cumbias and Norteñas. Music is the key to the heart so if I’m going to win the heart of a Latina, I have to do my homework.”
But Lowery says when he was growing up, his African American friends didn’t understand his love of all things Mexican. They’d say “what are you doing? You’re supposed to be singing rap and hip-hop. Why are you hanging out with the Mexicans, those are the enemies," he recalls.
Lowery says he’d tell them, they’re not enemies — they’re my friends. “Because of that, in 9th and 10th grade year, I had like no black friends. No one wanted to hang out with me, because they were embarrassed that I would sing and hang out and speak Spanish.”
A couple years ago, one of his high school friends started calling him “El Compa Negro,” which means “my black friend.”
And it stuck.
El Compa Negro got discovered the way a lot of young talent gets discovered these days. His manager, Antonio Lopez, saw a video of a 16-year-old Lowery singing a capella on YouTube.
That was three years ago. This past May, El Compa Negro appeared on the LA-based TV show, “Tengo Talento Mucho Talento,” (I have Talent, A lot of Talent). He came in third.
He sings a tune, “Negro Claro,” written by his manager Lopez, with lyrics that translate as: “I’m black, of course, African American, heart and soul of a Mexican.”
“Look what I’ve started. I’ve made something like Obama, he’s the first African American president. Well, I’m the first African American in the 'Regional Música Mexicana.'"

Longtime L.A. civil rights leaders dismayed by in-your-face tactics of new crop of activists...
http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-black-lives-matter-20151030-story.html
Long before Black Lives Matter made a mark in Los Angeles, there were the Rev. Cecil "Chip" Murray, Najee Ali, Earl Ofari Hutchinson. They and a handful of other black civil rights and religious leaders led the charge whenever issues of race and police brutality arose in South L.A.
They organized marches and held news conferences. But they also broke bread with L.A.'s political establishment, seeing it as an effective way to bring reforms.
Now there are new kids on the block, and they are shutting down freeways, disrupting community meetings, and camping outside LAPD headquarters and Mayor Eric Garcetti's Windsor Square home.
Earlier this month, they confronted Garcetti at a forum in a church, eventually following the mayor—chanting along the way—to his car.
Inside and outside Holman United Methodist Church, longtime L.A. activists witnessed the scene, aghast. Embarrassed. Angry.
The hundreds of members of the fresh crop of community activists—many of whom came of age during the 1992 Los Angeles riots—reject the traditional tactics of the "old guard." Despite their relative youth, they have adopted acts of civil disobedience used during the 1960s civil rights era and are more interested in pushing city officials and politicians to make change than in sitting on their commissions and boards—and waiting.
United under the banner of the national group Black Lives Matter, they are actually a loose coalition of organizations that believe that a more in-your-face approach to issues like excessive use of police force is not only more effective, but justified.
"You can't attempt to employ 1980s and 1990s strategies in a 2015 moment," said Pete White, founder of Los Angeles Community Action Network and a member of Black Lives Matter. "There's a push back against methods and individuals whose message did not work."
For the veteran activists—many of whom grew up in the era when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached nonviolence—the actions of some of the protesters distract from their message.
"With Black Lives Matter being a new organization with young activists, they don't have the experience or discipline to be more effective advocates," said Ali, the director of the advocacy group Project Islamic Hope. "They seem like a one-trick pony and all they can do is disrupt and make noise."
The distinct approaches have caused a rift between activists like Ali and the young bloods—an echo of the kind of ideological disagreements that have surfaced within the world of black activism over many generations.
The protest over Garcetti at the West Adams forum last week laid L.A.'s latest version of it bare.
The Rev. Kelvin Sauls, a part of the established group of black reformers, invited Garcetti to host his first town hall meeting with area residents at his church. Eventually the hourlong discussion was interrupted by protesters affiliated with Black Lives Matter.
About 50 demonstrators turned their backs on the mayor as he spoke to a crowd of several hundred. When Garcetti attempted to leave, the demonstrators surrounded him and chanted as he walked to his car. One activist jumped on the trunk of the car as the mayor stepped inside.
In the following days, each side held dueling news conferences.
Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the national Black Lives Matter group, said Garcetti promised to work with the activists to hold a forum, but then went behind their backs and partnered with Sauls.
Later, a group of clergy and other leaders of well-known organizations demanded an apology from the protesters, accusing them of being disrespectful and using words that seemed akin to a public spanking.
"I was raised by strict Southern grandparents that told me that if I acted up in public then I would get my discipline in public," said Xavier Thompson, president of the Southern Missionary Baptist Church. "We will not tolerate irreverent behavior."

On Sunday, Garcetti had planned a return visit to Holman United Methodist Church. But Sauls said he decided to cancel the event after news of it was leaked online.
Jasmyne Cannick, a political consultant, said that the mayor appeared to be dividing the black community into "good black people" and "bad black people," essentially classifying Black Lives Matter among the latter by leaning on the generally older, seasoned activists and seeming to exclude the new voices.
Last summer, in the hours before the Los Angeles Police Commission issued its ruling critical of two officers involved in the shooting death of Ezell Ford, Garcetti spoke with Hutchinson, Ali, and other traditional civil rights leaders to gauge the temperature among residents in South L.A.
Later, he invited the same group of black leaders to a meeting at City Hall to talk with Matt Johnson, an entertainment lawyer he appointed as the president of the police commission.
Members of Black Lives Matters said they did not receive a call or an invitation to the Johnson meeting. The group had been lobbying the police commission to hold the officers responsible in Ford's death and were vocally opposed to Garcetti's selection for the commission.
The mayor's office did not respond to requests for comment.
"What those who are being targeted often do is use a divide-and-conquer strategy," said Fredrick Harris, a political science professor at Columbia University. "Perhaps this is a strategy to divert attention away from the demands of the more contentious activists."
Robin D.G. Kelley, a history professor at UCLA, said that Black Lives Matter is reminiscent of the 1960s Student Non-Violence Coordinating Committee, which organized sit-ins to protest segregation.
These groups "are called outsiders, troublemakers, disruptive and never had the kind of political legitimacy that people expected them to have," he said. "But they were able to win concessions."
Cullors held the first Black Lives Matter meeting in 2013 after demonstrators took to the streets to protest a jury's acquittal of George Zimmerman, a Florida man who shot and killed black teenager Trayvon Martin, who was not carrying a weapon. About 30 people, mostly college students, showed up, said group organizer Melina Abdullah.
"Black Lives Matter" became a rallying cry during protests after the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014 by a white police officer—and again in L.A. during protests over police killings of black men around the country.
Abdullah said that Garcetti has forced the group members to take a "hard-line agitation approach to him when we could be working …with him."
Despite the tension, both groups of activists said they are willing to work together toward a common goal.
"This is not about the black community airing out its dirty laundry," Thompson of Southern Baptist Missionary Church said. "We will come together behind closed doors."

Hillary is Racist towards Illegals!!
One of the main arguments for stopping the mass deportation of illegal Hispanics are that they are the only ones that are willing to do the jobs that Americans do not want to do such as a Farm hand, maids, diswashers etc...
However I have to ask myself once Hispanics build a solid middle class in say 30-40 years which groups are going to be doing this type of jobs?
The Hispanics are like you and me. believe it or not they are Human!! They are not Robots programmed to go out in those burning hot fields to pick tomatoes so that you can have a Big Mac on your afternoon lunch break from your cushy job in Silicon Valley. Like you and me they want their children to have a better life. They want their people to have a better life and that is why the Hispanics whether they be illegal are legal are all coming together on this issue of illegal immigration.
Do people honestly believe that the Hispanics like to do these socially demeaning jobs? In my eyes the people that support illegal immigration are racists and do not believe that Hispanics are capable of being anything else other than a Maid, a diswasher or a farm hand. These thoughts of action are within themselves racist!!

Meet Mansa Musa I of Mali – the richest human being in all history
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/world-history/meet-mansa-musa-i-of-mali-the-richest-human-being-in-all-history-8213453.html
When we think of the world’s all-time richest people, names like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and John D Rockefeller immediately come to mind.
But few would have thought, or even heard of, Mansa Musa I of Mali – the obscure 14th century African king who was today named the richest person in all history.
With an inflation adjusted fortune of $400 billion, Mansa Musa I would have been considerably richer than the world’s current richest man, Carlos Slim, who ranks in 22nd place with a relatively paltry $68 billion.
The list, compiled by the Celebrity Net Worth website, ranks the world’s 24 richest people of all time. The list advertises itself as the top 25, but 26 names appear in the list.
Although the list spans 1000 years, some aspects of wealth appear consistent throughout history; there are no women on the list, only three members are alive today, and 14 of the top 25 are American.
The list uses the annual 2199.6 per cent rate of inflation to adjust historic fortunes – a formula that means $100 million in 1913 would be equal to £2.299.63 billion today.
Mansa Musa I ruled West Africa’s Malian Empire in the early 1300s, making his fortune by exploiting his country’s salt and gold production. Many mosques he built as a young man still stand today.
After Mansa Musa I death in 1331, however, his heirs were unable to hang on to the fortune, and it was substantially depleted by civil wars and invading armies.
Second on the list are the Rothschild family, whose descendants are still among the richest people on the planet. Starting out in banking in the late 18th Century, Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s finance house accumulated a total wealth of $350 billion. The money has since been divided between hundreds of descendants, many of whom are business leaders today.
Meanwhile John D. Rockefeller, third on the list, is the richest American to have ever lived, worth $340billion in today's USD at the time of his death in 1937.
In comparison, the poorest man on the list is 82-year-old Warren Buffett, who at his peak net worth, before he started giving his fortune to charity, was $64billion.
Here’s the full list of the ‘26 richest people of all time’:
1. Mansa Musa I, (Ruler of Malian Empire, 1280-1331) $400 billion

15. Richard Fitzalan, 10th Earl of Arundel (English nobleman, 1306-1376) £118.6 billion
16. John of Gaunt (son of Edward III, 1330-1399) £110 billion
17. Stephen Girard (shipping and banking mogul, 1750-1831) $105 billion
18. Alexander Turney Stewart (entrepreneur, 1803-1876) $90 billion

20. Friedrich Weyerhaeuser (timber mogul, 1834-1914) $80 billion
21. Jay Gould (railroad tycoon, 1836-1892) $71 billion

The Halloween Costume thread
Guys - don't get caught slippin' - Halloween is upon us and it being on a Saturday this year means there's no excuse to no try to win your little local costume contest.
I'm on some shit that nobody is ready for but I'm willing to throw out some of my rejected ideas for anybody that's struggling with their imagination.
Luke Cage - Hero For Hire
this one is easy and cheap...
Materials:
gay yellow shirt, gay jeggings, chain, afro, gay yellow legwarmers, golden tiara (all tarias are gay... no need to specify)
![lukecage.jpg]()
put all that gay shit together and somehow you can be the toughest motherfucker in comic books. too bad nobody will know who you are and they'll just think your lamar from revenge of the nerds.
Carboard box robot
Another cheap and easy one. Plus it's a classic.
Materials:
Some boxes, some aluminum foil, some HVAC tubing (for the arms and legs), Duct tape
This one is a timeless retro classic but be sure to wear depends since the bathroom is out of the question unless you make a porthole like the enterprising gentlemen in the photo below. Also be on the lookout for @DWO since he might kick the shit out off you just of instinct.

DRO
This one is controversial and I don't recommend it.
Materials:
Black grease paint. Black clothes. Lack of basic grammar skills.
White people: please don't even attempt to execute this costume unless you have at least one black friend. Even then it's risky but @eyerone might vouch for you if you cook him some fried chicken.

What does the new Iphone have to offer that the last one didn't ???????
I have had people tell me "oh the new Iphone is coming out, I'm getting that shit" then I ask them what does the new Iphone do that your current one doesn't? they have no answer that justifies you spending all that money, are these people just another victim of the consumerism disease???

IC Discussion: Colorism in the black community
You might not have heard of the term colorism, but it's a problem in the black community. It's where African Americans discriminate against each other by piting the light-skinned black ppl against the dark-skinned black ppl. Unlike other forms of injustice, colorism is rarely discussed, even though it happens daily. It's also often swept under the rug by the black community.
You've got darkskinned black ppl saying that they're affected by colorism when they're told their skin color is "too dark" & "ugly" . Many have been called tar baby, and etc. Then on the opposite side you have the lightskinned black ppl saying they're affected by colorism when they're told they're not truly black, they're whitewashed, etc. There are also #TeamDarkskin & #TeamLightskin hashtags on Twitter at this very moment where many ppl are proudly proclaiming their skintone while bashing those on the opposite side. These are just a few on the list of the many ways colorism affects the black community.
What are your personal experiences with colorism?
