Latino Group MALDEF Wants a 2nd all-Latino District in California

Latino Group MALDEF Wants a 2nd all-Latino District in California



BLOGGER'S NOTE: Contact the Los Angeles redistricting committee here!   The Los Angeles Redistricting Committee’s new constituency lines met with fierce opposition by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF). The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors provisional-redistricted map failed to generate a second “Latino-majority supervisorial district.”MALDEF contends five of the County Supervisors neglected their obligation to create a second all-Latino district as mandated by the federal Voting Rights Act. “They need to respect the Federal Voting Rights Act (in order to) avoid an expensive lawsuit the county is guaranteed to lose,” said Thomas Saenz, President and General Counsel of MALDEF.

In an email, Saenz pointed to the Census Bureau statistics that showed the Hispanic population in Los Angeles County, between 2000 and 2010, grew by almost half a million residents. On the other hand, the county lost approximately 150,000 non-Latino residents. “Latinos now make up almost half the county's population,” he said.

However, MALDEF argues that the majority of the County Supervisors “specifically Supervisors Mike Antonovich, Don Knabe, and Zev Yaroslavsky apparently oppose creating a second Latino supervisorial district. They are more interested in preserving their comfortable, current district lines,” Saenz said.

Hate-Crime Laws Not for “Whites Only”

Hate-Crime Laws Not for “Whites Only"   By Clarence Page.

Chicago Tribune



WASHINGTON — Is there an undercount of white hate-crime victims? It is easy to be skeptical about the charge. After all, it tends to be voiced most often and loudly by those who never wanted hate-crime laws to be passed in the first place.

Nevertheless, I, for one, take the charge seriously. As a member of one of the groups hate-crime laws were written to protect, I have a vested interest in making sure everyone, including white people, is equally protected by the laws.



No group has a monopoly on hate and no one is immune to it. If everyone doesn't feel they are getting a fair shake from laws designed to enhance penalties for hate-motivated crimes, such laws lose their moral authority and only the haters win.

Unfortunately, a cursory look at recent high-profile hate-crime cases fuels the fears and suspicions of skeptics like Louis Calabro, a retired San Francisco police lieutenant who now lives in San Bruno, Calif. He was so concerned about bias against his fellow whites, who he prefers to call "European-Americans," that he founded the European/American Issues Forum.



As humor columnist Dave Barry likes to say, I am not making this up.



During a telephone interview with me, Calabro did not want to discuss how many people are members of his group, which was born on the heels of the battle over California's anti-affirmative action Proposition 209. Nevertheless, Calabro has raised some thought-provoking points in his recent letter-writing campaign to the White House and Congress, including whether there may be an undercount of white victims and an overcount of white hate-crime perpetrators.



For example, the FBI's annual hate-crime reports list Hispanics among the victim categories but not among the perpetrator categories. As a result, Calabro pointed out, "A Hispanic victim is counted as Hispanic but a Hispanic perpetrator is counted as white."



Maybe. [Not “maybe.”] Or, as I pointed out, a Hispanic perpetrator might wind up being counted as black, if the label fits. Hispanics come in all colors. It is hard to be precise about something so imprecise as race and ethnicity in a mulligan-stew nation like this one. [Nonsense. Calabro was talking about actual practices at the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which an official privately said a couple of years ago BJS that they were going to over the past year or so, whereby I’m not even sure that they did. Conversely, Page was just making stuff up.]



Nevertheless, Calabro's complaint led me to think about some of the larger biases the police, press and politicians may have about who commits hate crime.



For example, a white immigration lawyer went berserk and killed five people--a Jewish woman, an Indian man, two Asian men and a black man--on a shooting spree in Pittsburgh in April. The media labeled the killings a possible hate crime within 24 hours.



But the media and police seemed much less eager to attach the hate-crime label to a very similar killing spree two months earlier by a black man, Ronald Taylor, who shot five white people, killing three, in a Pittsburgh suburb. In Taylor's apartment, police found "hate writings" aimed at Jews, Asians, Italians and the media, news reports said. The term hate crime was omitted from most reports. I had to call the county prosecutor's office to confirm that Taylor had indeed been charged under Pennsylvania's version of laws that enhance penalties for hate-motivated crimes.

Talk shows and Web sites have been buzzing more recently regarding the fatal stabbing of a white 8-year-old boy [Kevin Shifflett] by a black man [Gregory Devon Murphy] while the child was playing in front of his great-grandparents' home in Alexandria, Va., in April.



Witnesses said the man made comments about killing white people during the attack. A note was later found with the phrase "Kill them racist white kids" in broken and misspelled English in a hotel room where the prime suspect had stayed.

Yet more than a week after the note was found authorities were reluctant to call the crime a hate crime. Given how hypersensitive issues of race and ethnicity can be, I am not quick to fault officials who want to downplay the issue when it is not germane. But in cases of hate crimes it is the whole point of the law. Suppressing the race angle may cool tensions for a while but ultimately it can heighten stereotypes that hate crimes are for whites to commit and other crimes (unhateful crimes?) are for everyone else.



Opponents of hate crimes may not have found their smoking gun. But they have found enough smoke to make a reasonable observer wonder whether there might be a fire somewhere.



Significantly, the 1993 case under which the U.S. Supreme Court first upheld hate crime laws was a Milwaukee case involving black defendants who had attacked a 14-year-old white boy. Nevertheless, the myth persists that the laws were directed against whites to protect minorities. [It’s not a myth!] The sooner we eradicate that myth the less reasons anyone but the haters will have for hating hate-crime laws.

Editorial: Executive Branch Scandals!

Editorial

Recently in the news there have been the Executive Branch scandals of the Benghazi Investigation, the IRS attack on TEA Party groups, the EPA e-mail scandal, the HHS advertising scandal, the DOJ AP e-mails scandal, and the EEOC Hosanna-Tabor Scandal, and a good source of this is www.HughHewitt.com .

Yet nevertheless, it can be considered that the Gang of Eight Amnesty is still chugging along according to www.Alipac.US , so are these scandals really hurting the Executive Branch?

Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action



Frederic Lynch
 

5.0 out of 5 stars Affirmative Genocide
By Onyx

Format:HardcoverFrederick Lynch has done an excellent job of exposing the US Democratic party's betrayal of its's white electorate in enforcing Affirmative Discrimination without a mandate.

The lives of an entire generation of white American males were severly damaged by this evil and unjustified racial engineering program.Lynch goes on to ponder the seeming conspiracy of silence among the mass media and their refusal to highlight the plight of white male victims, even though there was no dearth of evidence.

However, as insidious as the the application of Affirmative Discrimination was in the US, it pales in comparison to what is currently being perpetrated in South Africa.For every white male job applicant in South Africa there are approximately twenty to fifty black applicants, yet it is the minority which legislation enforces discrimination against.The silence of the Western media on this matter(particularly the BBC)borders on the criminal.(The ANC controlled media does not deserve mention as it is merely a propaganda engine.)

Lynch details how American organisations applied an AA selection criteria which resulted in many meritous white applicants being arbritarily rejected.Instead of ensuring that all meritous applicants, regardless of race, be allowed an equal chance to compete, non-meritous black applicants were given preference over skilled white applicants - pure racial engineering. In South Africa the ANC uses demographic and occupational statistics in an attempt to justify its' heinous racial engineering agenda - this is not too different from the Nazis philosophy as expoused by Goebbels.During the Nazis invasion of Eastern Europe they were quick to identify those strategic political and economic positions which were held by Jews and to demand their removal and replacement with Nazis.This is the very same strategy being pursued by the racist ANC regime which demands that the majority of skilled positions available in the economy be occupied by blacks, and imposes substantial financial penalties, and refuses lucrative government tenders, to those organisations who fail to comply speedily enough.This effectively dooms an entire generation of young, white South African males to a future of poverty, regardless of their educational level.This is tantamount to ethnic cleansing and ethnic cleansing is Genocide. This, not crime, is the primary reason for the brain drain from South Africa as many white males would otherwise be reduced to the level of beggars.



While it is unlikely that any of the US Deomcratic party perpetrators will be brought to book, it is a neverending source of puzzlement to me that many white Americans continue to vote for a party which so blatantly sold them out.

Affirmative Action is a Gross Human Rights Violation and must be declared a Crime Against Humanity.

It goes without saying that its' victims should be paid substantial reparations for the economic, psychological and emotional trauma they suffered by having their basic human rights violated by Nazis style social engineering.



5.0 out of 5 stars discrimination to stop discrimination it still discrimination 

By Michael A. Scheurich

Format:Paperback
Amazon Verified PurchaseIts no secret why young American males are underachieving, although you would be hard pressed to find anyone who will admit the fact. Affirmative Action, meant to eliminate discrimination did just the opposite. It not only promoted discrimination against males it implemented laws and programs to make sure males were discriminated against. If a young American male was lucky enough to find an employer who would hire him he would have to work along side a non-English speaking alien who was less qualified to do the job and at the same wage level as his unqualified co-worker who couldn't even understand the instructions for doing the job. In addition the more qualified male was pigeon-holed while the unqualified co-worker received wage increases and promotions. How discouraging can it be to be in a job and knowing no matter how hard or how- good a job you did you were not going to be rewarded with pay increases or promotions and yet a person working with you who was not even an American citizen and could not even speak English would. In addition to racial discrimination males were discriminated against sexually during the same era and still are. Males are not just discriminated against in work but from the time they begin school up to and throughout most colleges and universities. At home parents were encouraged to discriminate against male children and 'daughters only day' in which daughters (not sons) would be taken to spend the day at work with a parent. Statistics given which demonstrated minorities and women were being discriminated against were manipulate to justify the discrimination against males. The jobs of women who worked lower paying temporary or part-time work to supplement family income was included in statistics comparing average wages of men and women as well as the lower starting wages of new employees which were compared to wages of men who had 20+ years of yearly wage increments. Men were no longer bread winners nor loving protectors of the family they were redefined in the most negative way possible as abusers of their spouses and their children. No one dared step forward to dispute these false claims less be terminated in place of employment or be accused of being a sexist or racist.



Government-imposed quotas were explicitly banned in the 1964 Civil Rights Act Nevertheless they immediately spread through the economy. For most of that time, they received eerily little media and even less academic attention. Of some 1,300 papers given at a recent American Sociological Association conference on Race and Ethnic Relations, the topic attracted only one.

The result: the situation summarized in the title of Lynch's new paperback,Invisible Victims: White males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action (Praeger, $14.95). The ideal of merit hiring has been subverted by politicized hiring, with white men unable to defend themselves against open discrimination. But quotas bring other problems, including conflict among the "protected classes'' they benefit, and growing racial polarization, particularly as the articulate middle class begins to suffer.



"Race-norming [adjusting test scores to produce racially proportionate results] alone affected millions of people,'' he says. "Many state and local governments did it with their GATBs [General Aptitude Test Batteries, taken by job seekers and supplied to potential employers]. And private testing agencies did it to protect their clients against lawsuits--they called it ''EEO-proofing.'' (The federalEqual Employment Opportunity Commission muscles business into quotas.)



But Lynch is not surprised at the blunder. "There's incredible denial,'' he says. He cites California Democratic Representative Don Edwards, a mouthpiece of the civil rights establishment, claiming on the New York Times Op Ed page that quotas did not exist--within weeks of three Supreme Court decisions about them. And, using similar Orwellian doublethink, supporters insisted that the 1991 Civil Rights Act did not impose quotas, although its key point was to override the Supreme Court and make work force racial imbalance prima facie evidence of employer discrimination.


5.0 out of 5 stars Academe & the Politics of Race and Gender
By townsend

Format:PaperbackThe word "quotas" is largely avoided, because public opinion polls found that 80% of the public opposed them. Instead, we hear of affirmative action (AA), equal opportunity employment, and the goal of diversity in higher education and the workforce. AA at work in the workforce, & reverse discrimination suits filed by white males, are well-known and occasional news items; likewise, instances of white males passed over for promotion are also known. But the insidious nature of race-and-gender preference as the determinative principle in academic hiring has not received the attention it deserves.



Lynch describes how affirmative action began as a series of directives designed to encourage recruitment of qualified minorities and women. Under this version, women and minority applicants would compete on a non-discriminatory, colorblind, and gender neutral basis. Today, a more radical version of AA exists, in which women and minorities are to be hired in proportion to their numbers in the general population. What was once a temporary, transitional expedient to redress inequalities has become a permanent, institutionalized feature of academic hiring practices.



Proponents of AA identify white males as the past perpetrators of discriminatory hiring and promotion practices. That present day white males might suffer loss from AA seems justified. But as Lynch notes, older white elite members imposed AA quotas upon white, working, middle class baby boomers and, to a growing degree, their children.



The generational cleavage between white male perpetrators of discrimination and present white male victims of AA has been ignored. Why should the latter group redress historical inequalities an earlier generation created?



The hypocrisy of the whole situation needs to be underscored. The very universities that accept gifted students into their graduate programs--including many white males--were the first to shut out white males when job opportunities arose.



Part of the American dream is that education is the key to unlimited opportunities. But just be sure to check your sex and skin color first.

Minnesota: Muslim workers going to EEOC to force more accommodations from H.J. Heinz Co.

A very interesting post from www.Jihadwatch.org  about Muslims in Minnesota demanding the EEOC give them more jobs. This follows this post about the Muslim element in the U.K. FLASH MOB Riots. This follows this post  about Miss USA 2010 and this article about the recent news about the former ban on offshore drilling which would encourage American energy independence and prevent money from going to hostile countries such as Iran   and Venezuela.

Minnesota: Muslim workers going to EEOC to force more accommodations from H.J. Heinz Co.


Isn't it interesting how often these things happen in the Minneapolis area: it was at the Minneapolis/St.Paul International Airport that Muslim cab drivers tried a few years back to stop carrying passengers who had alcohol. It was in Minneapolis Target stores that Muslim cashiers refused to handle pork products. There have been other such incidents. And now this, which is yet another attempt to assert the primacy of Islamic laws and practices over American business practices and customs. Note also the involvement of Hamas-linked CAIR.



Heinz has bent over backward to accommodate these Muslim workers already: they have two prayer rooms. They just don't want them leaving work to pray outside of scheduled break times. Oh, the Islamophobia of it all!



"Heinz, Islamic workers headed to mediation," by Steve Alexander in the Star Tribune, August 9 (thanks to JSF):



The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will mediate a labor dispute between 22 Islamic workers and Dianne's Gourmet Desserts, a Le Center, Minn., subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Co.'s foodservice operations.

The Minnesota chapter of the [Hamas-linked] Council on American-Islamic Relations, based in Minneapolis, maintains that the Islamic workers were fired by the Le Center firm in December in a dispute over freedom to practice their religious beliefs, and were forcibly removed from the premises.



In a statement, Heinz called the council's statement "misleading." It said that allowances were made for Islamic workers to practice their faith and that "no Islamic employees were terminated from their jobs for requesting prayer accommodation and none were removed forcibly."...





Hamas-linked CAIR lying? Why, it's unprecedented!



The dispute allegedly revolves around whether Islamic employees were allowed to say prayers in the workplace at the time of day specified by their religion.

The council says that the Heinz subsidiary "created a new policy that abolished a break time used by Muslim employees to pray their evening prayer. The employees were prohibited from praying outside of the newly implemented work breaks, which did not coincide with prayer times."



Heinz said it is "strongly committed to recognizing and protecting religious diversity in the workplace," and that in Le Center it provided two prayer rooms for employees where the workers were "to take prayer breaks as a special accommodation to the requirements of their faith."...
