Time to Set the Record Straight on Slavery

September 30, 2019 By James Simpson

Antifa is the most public, in-your-face element of the communist Left's decades-long effort to vilify America as a bastion of racism and "white supremacy." Normal people know that this characterization of the United States is simply not true. We have been world leaders in promoting racial harmony and reconciliation and have bent over backwards to aid in the advancement of minorities. Today, for example, blacks, Hispanics, and women have the lowest unemployment rates in U.S. history. Furthermore, certain minority groups are eligible for racial preferences and set-asides unavailable to whites and even those minorities — for example, Asians — who excel.

The poorest people in America are better off than people in most other nations. A recent study found that when you include the myriad welfare programs available to Americans, the bottom 20 percent of income-earners in the U.S. are better off materially than everyone in most of the nations of Europe. Another study found that the bottom 10 percent in the U.S. do better than the top 10 percent in Russia and that our nation's poor do better than virtually everyone in India and better than 85 percent of those living in China.................

But slavery has not been abolished.  Mauritania, the last nation to publicly condone slavery, officially outlawed it finally in 2007.  However, the truth is that slavery in Mauritania is alive and well, with as much as 10–20 percent of the population (340,000 to 680,000) in bondage.  Algeria (106,000), Sudan (35,000 or more), Libya (48,000), and certain other nations still practice slavery.

Famous black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan excoriates America for our history of slavery, but despite repeated calls to take action against Muslim nations that continue to enslave both black and white, Farrakhan has remained totally silent, as have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton — despite Sharpton witnessing slavery in Sudan firsthand.  Former President Obama, seen in a recently discovered 2005 photo with Louis Farrakhan, hasn't made a peep.  Why not?...........To Read More....

How Al Sharpton Abandoned Africa’s Slaves

August 17, 2019 By Charles Jacobs

The eminent African-American economist Glenn Loury recently wondered in the New York Times why leading Democrats would defend Al Sharpton, a man who is a blatant anti-Semite, an anti-white racist, and to many, a simple con man.  Joe Biden calls him “a champion in the fight for civil rights.” Elizabeth Warren says “he has dedicated his life to the fight for justice for all,” and Kamala Harris lauds him as a man who “has spent his life fighting for what’s right.” Records show that President Obama had Sharpton visit his White House 118 times.

This, after Sharpton’s many outrages: the Tawana Brawley rape hoax of 1987, the anti-Jewish Crown Heights riots of 1991, and the firebombing of a Jewish-owned Harlem fashion boutique in 1995.

Loury suggests that any one of these things should have disqualified Sharpton from national platforms, along with any praise by Democratic Party leaders. But there’s something else, something no less repugnant, and perhaps even more shocking, that should obliterate once and for all the perception of Al Sharpton as a tough guy who never buckles when it comes to defending his race.

Al Sharpton is betraying black people currently enslaved in Africa. .........To Read More.....

Val and Al: MSNBC’s Real Teachable Moment

Lecturing on Roseanne’s racism — with Al Sharpton.

Jeffrey Lord May 31, 2018

But let’s not let the moment slide without a serious acknowledgment of what followed Roseanne’s tweet.  MSNBC invited Ms. Jarrett on their network to discuss. Which seemed fine when one simply heard of the invite. But as presented? Wow. There at Valerie Jarrett’s side as she talked about this episode as a “teachable moment” was — one can’t make this up — Al Sharpton.

Sharpton has been discussed here in this space six years ago, and also here, with reason.  Among other things, I linked to what I called the “Sharpton tapes.”

Here, American Spectator fans, are the Al Sharpton tapes.

• Listen here if you really want to hear MSNBC’s star at work, the n-word spewing and spewing and spewing. 
• Listen here to hear MSNBC’s star Sharpton instruct on “Chinamen” and Koreans and watermelons.
• And don’t miss MSNBC star Sharpton’s “Greek homo” routine, here.
• Or MSNBC star Sharpton’s “apology” for inflaming a Harlem racial situation by going on about a “white interloper” here. That incident, by the way, resulted in a death.

Oh yes. Let’s not forget Sharpton’s infamous TV appearance in which said to an audience member: “You ain’t nothing, you a punk faggot.”.............And the end result? MSNBC gives him his own television show — and Ms. Jarrett and her boss, President Obama, give him serious access to the White House. Reported National Review in 2014:.........

Olbermann the guy who tweets four letter words and all manner of contemptuous bile towards the President and his supporters? Will Olbermann be fired for, to borrow from the Disney Roseanne statement, tweets that are “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values”?..............But if you are a liberal it is all one big no big deal...............To Read More.....
