racism America's Racist Drug Laws by Stephen Lendman Sentencing Project Executive Director Marc Mauer's a leading expert on sentencing, race, and criminal justice. For 25 years, it's "work(ed) for a fair and effective criminal justice system by promoting reforms in sentencing law and practice, and alternatives to incarceration." Criminal injustice is pervasive, especially against people of color. Racial and ethnic minorities comprise over 60% of America's prison population. "For black males in their twenties, 1 in every 8 is in prison or jail on any given day." America's racist war on drugs disproportionately targets people of color and ethnic minorities. They comprise 75% of those in prison on drug related charges.

Applause by South Carolina's Republicans for Newt Gingrich's symbolic racism demonstrates that racism is alive and well in the South. Racism is alive and well in the Republican Party of South Carolina. You saw it up close and personal if you watched the recent presidential debates in that state and heard symbolic racists in the audience cheer Newt Gingrich every time he offered up the newest racial code words.

Start with a Germantown resident. Long-time resident! To those who know this middle-aged man, his fellow Black, white, Asian, and Quaker residents, (let us call him Sam), Sam is a good man. Community-minded man! Intelligent!  Start with a Germantown resident. Long-time resident! To those who know this middle-aged man, his fellow Black, white, Asian, and Quaker residents, (let us call him Sam), Sam is a good man. Community-minded man! Intelligent! It is Sam you call on when there is a community project in Germantown. If tomatoes are what you want to see growing in the community garden atop Mastery Charter School, if you want help planting day lilies and geraniums along Rittenhouse Street between Pulaski and Wissahickon Avenue, and if you want weeds cleared, he is there.

In contrary with the mainstream media and the British politicians, the 2011 riots in England are no ''mindless violence'', but a clear protest against the years of social injustice and racist police violence

The last time anyone had seen an organized effort on the part of Keystone State "Skinheads" it was the Leif Ericsson Day event in October 2009. We heard rumors of infighting, saw people go to different crews, and some folks on Stormfront trying to keep it together with brand new websites for the group. Now it seems they are all the talk again, mostly because they decided to announce a few events over the next few weeks, including one that just so happens to be on the same day Anti-Racist Action announced their conference - which means, conveniently enough for KSS, ARA won't be in town to oppose them! Now it never bothers us when the KSSholes try something, but over the next few weeks, it seems to be the group we haven't heard jack from in over a year and a half is attempting a Hail Mary of sorts.

hate indoctrination Israeli Racism - by Stephen Lendman Merriam-Webster defines racism as "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race." It was the basis of South African apartheid and Nazi "master race" superiority above others, especially Jews. Israel has no constitution. Basic Laws substitute, including statutes affirming exclusive rights for Jews. One is the right of return, granting them automatic citizenship. Goyim are denigrated and not wanted, especially Arabs. David Ben-Gurion once said:

If non-Jewish Western folks riling against the Jews can only recognize that their problem in the so called "Judeo-Christian" civilization with the Jews is exclusively the baggage of their peculiar history that both are forced to share, and that, this baggage of history not only colors both sides' perceptions of each other, but also does not exist in the Middle East, Iran, India, and elsewhere, except for Zionism, which is indeed a project of the Rothschilds (links below), they might see that the grotesque generalizations made by John Kaminski like “There are no good Jews”, are not only patently false, but patently absurd.
