Watching this mornings interview on C-Span, Washington Journal, April 6th, 2010, the Southern Poverty Law Center's Mr. Mark Potok, Director “Intelligence Project”, was presently taking questions and making remarks regarding his publication of the article, “Rage on the Right”.
Demonizing Tea Party Patriots and Fox News spokes persons, most of the callers do not understand white extremist groups and white militias, calling white Americans racists. The discussion was primarily focused by the moderator on why whites in America hate Obama. Mr Potok, did mention some of the black groups such as the New Black Panthers, which he openly stated was a racist hate group. After which, Mr. Potok was thanked for his time and the interview was over.
During the program, most of the callers were from the southern and northern states in middle America. The programs moderator was trying to stay with middle American callers, not the coastal callers. In this way the moderator could find more people who have not been callers of a program like this before, so as to take advantage of them on the air to say things that could be challenged by misdirection or taking their comments out of context, to shake them up. It is a practice that is almost always used by leftist moderators to control the caller and steer the lefts points not the oppositions. Americans who call in without having the ability to speak clearly and state their question or position strongly are always shaken up by a host deliberately, not a surprise.
Of those calling from the south the general take away was that they were self identified as Black Americans and they referred to the KKK, and the racist whites of the south that want their social security checks and benefits more than helping the poor blacks of the south. That they hate Obama because he's black and want a revolution to remove Obama from office. Hateful blacks in the south were some what balanced by an individual who called from Texas who stated he was black as well and that his solution was to become involved in what the police were doing by becoming active in his local community. The caller from Texas said that he was subject to being pulled over many times since he moved to Texas, stating that this was racial profiling being used against blacks in the south in order to get them in line.
He did not mention the fact that over 60 percent of the crimes committed in Texas are committed by blacks in the community. So inherently, this man moved to a place were more blacks commit crimes against the community, thus police do make more stops regarding blacks than hispanic or whites. A good Police force should focus their attentions on problem areas of a community. I don't call that racial profiling, it is during times like these, huge jobless rates that crimes increase making law enforcement agencies take more actions against groups whom are identified as more actively harming their communities. I find the simple fact he decided to get involved in this community an uplifting action. It proves, this man has morals and standards that may not be shared by others in his new black community.
The tilt of the program occurred when callers from the northern states were picked off the phone bank, identifying themselves as republicans. This is when the Moderator challenged one of the female callers from Michigan, asking her where the were the United Nations troops were in America, which she had commented on worried about the One World Government? She responded they were being trained at many facilities across the U.S., then the moderator cut her off. Another caller was challenged when they spoke out against the commentator, Mr. Mark Potok, after he again painted groups he identified as white with many black Americans also participating in local militia's a false statement saying the caller was not being truthful. That black Americans would never join a militia with white Americans. Stating again, the likes of the Tea Party Patriots and (Fox News), a single main stream media outlet were fueling hate in America.
Mr Mark Potok's report, “Rage on the Right” does more harm and creates more division in the America black community than helping strengthen the common bonds Americans share. Obviously, Mr. Potok doesn't really understand the Tea Party Patriots groups all over America. Nor does he share or make note of the fact the this rise in what is called hate groups is really Americans whom have never spoken out before or showed up at rallies across this nation. What the Southern Poverty Law Center has done here is promote hate and division across America's black communities.
This will result in more direct confrontations by elevating hate from their center's point of view. It is not that whites in America hate blacks in America, it's that they are angry with the spending and growth of the nanny state over the last 12 years or so. It is apparent that the Southern Poverty Law Center is focused only on hate. The intent of this report from Mr. Potok is to strongly condemns a single news media outlet for the growth of hate groups across America. This is a shameful analytical conclusion tilted extremely left in it's review of the studies findings.
The simple fact is that the Southern Poverty Law Center is proving a platform for spreading hate across America, generating hate speech in an educated way to spread the liberal agenda of the nanny state. This is a correct summary of the report from an independent point of view. The SPL Center should be more careful in the words used, by it's agents, so as to better inform everyone as to the causes of the strife in America, strengthening bonds, not strengthening the divisions which is what this report does.
Perhaps it is the left leaning editor of the SPL Center who is to blame. This publication has been full of liberal injections for many many years. Working to help create divide is the wrong thing to do at a time so rife with political divisions being strengthened. They are themselves helping to create the very thing they reporting on. Hate!
Although Mr. Mark Potok is outwardly, mild mannered and well spoken. I find him strongly focused on the wrong issues. Generating more division and hate with in the black communities and promoting the nanny state is the wrong for America and wrong for Black Families across the country, especially now, during what could be coming, another great depression. Created by, a trans-formative central government, which is focused on spending the country into bankruptcy. This single possibility should scare every Hispanic, Black or White Americans to their core. The report downplays the effects a liberal administrations actions affecting all Americans and instead, this report focus's on the divisions of race's not the common bonds of strength they share. It is a negative leaning, hate fostering report, that is well worded to befuddle the common America into believing there is more hate in America than HOPE.
Here is the link to the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center's website for those who would like to review it themselves. I warn you now, if your blood pressure starts to rise while reading the report, stop reading it. You can go back and pick up where you left off when your blood pressure goes back down.

I love that they asked for “Public Defenders” (and they thought they could bring down our government), undercover FBI agent, sweet. The simpleton Tea baggers keep missing the point. These are the same whiners that were crying when the McCain/Bailin ticket lost. Now they are crying again because their yelling and screaming (because they are haters not debaters or as others have dubbed them screamers not dreamers) did not stop the health care debate or the bill from passing. They think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something they are not the only ones that are armed and not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. Do not cry when regular people openly laugh at your group when they see on TV that your leaders are Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and your own turn coat Glenn Beck from the LDS. They do more to discredit you group on TV (powerful) than any of comments on the blog sphere. Yee Haw!
ReplyDeleteLucky for them "Public Defenders" did not call in. The name calling, is immature. We independents did not cry when McCain/Palin did not win the election. We expected Obama/Biden to actually do what they said! To date they have done exactly the opposite! That is the issue at it's heart. This issue is about money! I have been told that when it comes to money, all the people's religion is the same. Don't spend my money foolishly. The new Health Care Law, does just exactly that. This issue is not about black or white or brown, but about freedom of choice more than most on the left will admitt in open public. Democrats have openly said the Health Care Law is really wealth redistribution, not health care. Why then is everyone still talking about health care? They are not. Instead they are shifting the remarks to the issue of race. Now everyone who doesn't like the new law is a racist. Not true, look at what's happening in the media. It's everywhere, every Black Democrat is saying everyone that disagrees with them is a racist. Shameful conduct for these individuals. The real issues are again money and freedom of choice. Don't let them win the mis information campaign. It's in every black mans interest to have as much freedom as he can as well as hispanic or whites.
ReplyDeleteChoice is being taken away from everyone within this new law. That's less freedom for everyone, and that is wrong!
As far as the Tea Party goes, most don't understand the issues. Which is why they don't know how to look at the Tea Party Patriots. Yes there are some characters on both the right and the left that most Americans won't acknowledge or promote, but still their voices can still exercise the 1st Amendment as you do. That is the greatest thing in America that doesn't exist else where in the world!
