Motel 6...Vegas lodgings at Tropicana suck! Staff prejudiced against whites!





The Motel 6 just down the road a hop-and-a-skip from the MGM Grand on Tropicana Boulevard is deceiving from the outside on the busy Vegas street.

When tourists drive by - or even take a gander at the publicity still on the Internet - the impression potential guests get is that the Motel is a comfy little Inn with a handful of quaint suites.

Not!

One tourist got the shock of their life when they made a reservation, and over forty-five minutes later, found themselves still stumbling around an asphalt lot on a sizzling hot day in the middle of a Vegas heat wave in search of what appeared to be a non-existent room!

When the exhausted dehydrated guest approached a couple of security guards for directions, they were clueless - too - about where the lodgings were located on the premises!

"There," one rotund uniformed guard beckoned, as he struggled to communicate in English.

Uh-huh!

A second nightmare began.

None of the maids, pool boys, or general staff, appeared to be able to speak English!

Subsequently, the frustrated guest was sent on wild-goose chases here-there-and-everywhere all around the sprawling motel property because of misguided fingers.

A legal immigrant is required to demonstrate a facility with the first language of the Nation, which - in this instant case - is English.

Am I to assume this workers are illegal and undocumented?

If so, send in ICE!

As it turns out, there are approximately 600 suites at the Motel 6 location, just off the strip on Tropicana Blvd.

In spite of that staggering detail, staff at the front desk persist with the silliest (stupidist) methods of directing the Hotel traffic.

For example, a staffer might instruct a guest to walk in a straight line down to Coco's along the Boulevard, pass two palm trees (!) - then, make a left - and head down to the designated building number which is usually obscured or not clearly marked.

To complicate matters, there was another mini-sized Motel - the American? - squeezed in-between the two Motel 6 properties.

The wacko staff differentiate the two by the color of the door (green or blue).

God forbid a tourist should trot back to the front desk and ask for an escort to locate the suite.

In fact, it has not escaped the attention of many, that the front desk clerks (mostly African-American) appear to be prejudiced against white folks!

If a lilly-white guest asks for a room fronting on the pool, the nasty clerks quickly note they just gave the last suite away, with a smirk on their face.

Although a middle-aged caucasion business-man was lost and frustrated, no one on duty showed much sympathy or compassion for the "paying guest".

And, forget about service with a smile!

It has gone by way of the dinosaur at Motel 6.

Finally, one Latino employee, offered to accompany the guest to their room - probably because the couldn't help but notice that the lodger was getting angrier by the moment - and about to blow his top.

A snotty young gal - about twenty-something - was quick to bill a credit card for an access fee for WiFi.

But, guess what?

After the guest trotted off to their room, and attempted to log on, he discovered she neglected (!) to provide the guest with the code!

Intentional?

Just betcha!

C**t!

Needless to say, Motel 6 on Tropicana Boulevard in Las Vegas - even if you're desperate and there is no room at the Inn elsewhere - should be avoided like the plague.

You'd be better off sleeping on a park bench!

Americans should put their foot down - especially in respect to racist attitudes among blacks - and just say "no".

Amen!


 
Motel 6 skewered view of whites!

West Hollywood...Postal workers deface birthday greeting! Illegally tamper with client mail...




2 for you & 3 for me!



Today, I strode into the post office in West Hollywood to pluck up my mail.

In the secure box, I was startled to encounter a piece of personal correspondence, that been defaced by a post worker!

Friends posted a "Happy Birthday" greeting to me in the form of a colorful postcard.

On one side, the crisp pretty flyer bore my name and address.

On the reverse, there was a humorous cartoon of happy feet (I had surgery on two toes recently), with a birthday greeting in bold neon colors.

Guess what?

An employee at that outlet had taken a strip of postal tape and entirely blocked out the section of the card that said "Happy Birthday".

An ominous message, wouldn't you say?

Someone over there doesn't wish me well - or at least - not a very Happy Birthday.

A few months ago, I caught a couple of the postal workers tampering with my mail, and was forced to file a complaint with the Postmaster General.

I also posted a warning to alert other box-holders of the potential dangers of not keeping their eye out for goods and correspondence they were expecting to ensure the precious items arrived safely (and didn't end up in a postal worker's backpack).

Since that time, expensive magazines, DVD's, and slick  promos from companies seeking publicity for their products on my website have vanished into thin air.

Well, you have only to stroll into the West Hollywood Postal Station and take a gander at these racist low-lifes - who appear to be nothing more than street hookers in postal uniforms - to figure out what their problem is.

God Bless America!

West Hollywood Pavillions...finally gets message! Hires white male security guard...sigh!





After the fiasco with the Popcorn Mafia at the New Beverly Cinema last night, I zipped over to Pavillions to snatch up a snack just shy of the witching hour.

As I strolled through the front doors, I pinched myself.

Was I dreaming?

Right off-the-bat (in plain view) I caught sight of newly-installed security guard.

And, guess what?

He was tall, white, and standing at his post in a respectful dignified manner!

At long last, Pavillions woke up, and smelled the coffee.

In recent weeks, shortly after a long drawn-out renovation, Pavillions threw its doors open wide once again.

But, the celebratory mood subsided - and turned to anger - when long-time Caucasian residents continued to encounter rude imposing African-American security guards on duty daily who harassed them when they shopped.

To many, it was obvious, that the posse of gruff uniformed employees were racist.

Although many complaints were uttered up - and I penned a couple of posts on the controversial issue - Pavillions proceeded to cast a blind eye to the ongoing problem.

In view of what has finally unfolded before my very eyes, it appears that Pavillions has finally fathomed the intriguing (complex) social strata that is at the heartbeat of West Hollywood.

Now that I have published this post, I expect all the girls (and local females, too) will be darting in to Pavillions to get a gander at the tall handsome security guard, who fits into the terrain comfortably.

Sorry, folks, I saw him first!

Whole Foods...racist security guards shake-down white folks!



Racist African American guards harass white shoppers!

 


A few months ago when there was a big brouhaha over the issue of racism  around the country, I noted at the time that there appeared to be a double-standard.

It was okay for African-Americans and Latinos to gripe about the issues, but if a white individual made specicfic comments about the sensitive topic, they were generally labelled a racist.

For this reason, I vowed that I was going to level the playing field.

I informed my readers that whenever I witnessed an Afro-American and/or Latino engaging in racism, I was going to report the incident.

True to my word, I proceeded to warn consumers about Black racist guards at Pavillions supermarket, who were harassing and intimidating white folks when they were shopping at the WeHo outlet on Santa Monica Boulevard at Robertson.

Undoubtedly, I  irked a couple of those guards (and management) in view of the way they eyeball me now whenever I saunter in to pick up a few items or sip on a hot tea while I check my e-mail on the free WiFi provided in the Starbucks cafe (franchised by Pavillions).

Well, it appears that Whole Foods draws from the same pool of workers, because in the past couple of weeks I have spied African-American guards shaking down white folks without provocation (which amounts to discrimination & racsim)) at the Fairfax and Santa Monica Boulevard store.

In fact, one guard - about 6 foot 1, overweight and slovenly in nature, and ugly as hell - thinks he's downright clever (fool).

When he spots a caucasian walk through the door, he doesn't trail them right away up-close. 

Oh no, Mr. Sleuth strolls across the busy grocery at the "head" of each aisle and oggles them from afar for a bit, before he struts in and goes for the overkill to make these clueless shoppers feel the heat.

I was quite shocked when I spied  him follow a man (about mid-thirties) to the mensroom (last evening around 9 p,m.) when there was obviously no need to.

The gentleman in question has been hanging around the neighborhood for years (I have been a local resident for at least two decades and know this to be true) and is certainly not a thief nor does he mean anyone any harm.

In spite of this, the guard put his ear up to the closed bathroom door (?) to listen to the fellow as he went about his business inside.

Perhaps the distinctive sound of a male pi**ing in a toilet bowl turns the security guard on?

If a shopper notices the "tail" - and stares back in surprise or annoyance - the guard acts like he's guilty of nothin'.

You know the drill!

He'll look this way 'n that, shift the weight on his feet, and self-conciously glance up-and-down or in another direction. 

Did I hear a low whistle?

Too late.  Gotcha!

Obviously, Whole Foods doesn't monitor their employees, otherwise they'd give this piece of sh** the old heave ho!

At this juncture, it's evident that Management won't wake up and smell the coffee, until they've been raked over the coals and sued for damages.

I'll rub my hands with glee when that scenario does down.

After all, I'm tired of racists like this dude victimizing individuals because of their own self-loathing, jealousy of privileged whites, and inability to function in a civilized society because of their lack of class, bad manners, and low IQ.

Call a Spade a Spade!

Pavillions...security guards harass shoppers! Management looks other way...


Goofy irresponsible Management spoils shopping experience!
(WeHo)




Thursday night customers at Pavillions in WeHo were a tad miffed when a security guard strode up to the cozy Starbucks cafe and instructed the handful of regulars sipping on tasty beverages and engaging in a bit of upbeat chatter that the section was being shut-down.

Huh?

The hands on the plain modern clock on the wall confirmed that it was just shy of  9 p.m. on a Thursday night in the heart of gay gulch.

Right off-the-bat, a couple of die-hard social butterflies hauled a couple of straight-back chairs to the other side of the partition, plunked themselves down, and carried on in spite of the nasty impolite intrusion.

"Heh," yelled out the surly African-American guard, "put those chairs back."

One elderly gent piped up in a knee-jerk sort-of reaction.

"We'll just wait here until the cleaning crew finish up," he huffed at the Pavillions staffer.

At this point, the big lug was quick on the uptake, too.

"I'm shutting this section down for the night," he snarled back.

A disgruntled local resident asked to speak to the manager.

"I don't need to get a manager, 'cause I know who I am," he hollered back as he glared down his nose and snickered under his breath.

Huh?

What does "knowing who you are" have to do with a request to rustle up the store manager?

Something was amiss!

This a**hole's attitude, for starters.

I wasn't surprised by what went down, though.

In the past few weeks I reported on a handful of African-American security guards abusing their authority at the same Pavillions.

For instance, I witnessed a couple of racist guards follow white folks around the store - and on a few occasions - harass and intimidate them without provocation.

Although loyal customers have complained about these individuals, management has not taken any action - in fact, in some cases - hasn't even bothered to respond (in spite of the fact pamphlets at the cashier encourage consumers to lodge their opinions on service and quality with the understanding their voice(s) will be heard).

It's all for show, eh?

Shortly after my post was published on the Internet, and the security guards recognized me later when I was shopping in the store, they began to whisper amongst themselves (and point me out to fellow employees).

Now, they give me the old hairy eye-ball everytime I saunter into the store.

'Ya know, I've been shopping at this location for twenty years, and I don't intend to let a gang of thugs intimidate me or try to discourage me from shopping there if I so choose.

When you consider these bullies are outsiders who come into the neighborhood daily to work - then shuffle off at the end of the shift to some hellhole in another part of town - it's downright annoying.

An ill-mannered uneducated ruffian with no class - though attired in a well-pressed dark monkey suit provided by the security company - is still a low-life ruffian (no matter how you cut it).

I generally just breeze in, purchase a handful of items, then pay at the automated cashier.

Subsequently, I have as little contact as possible with these unsophisticated losers.

A scripture says it succinctly:

Never throw pearls before swine.

Amen!
 
 


Pavillions distorted perception about white folks!

Pavilions...sale scam! Nepotism unfair to work applicants...




A few weeks ago, I penned a consumer alert on CVS, to warn about their deceptive business practices.

For example, the coprorate giant advertised sales on the shelves in their retail outlets, which were not honored at the cash register at check out.

For consumers who were expecting a discount, it amounted to one big rip-off!

Until CVS got caught, that is.

Shortly after a lawsuit was filed for damages, CVS settled the charges out-of-court without admitting fault.

But, weeks later, I also became victim of their dishonest attempt to lure customers into buying items on the premise they were on sale, when - in fact - CVS did not intend to honor the advertised sale price.

After my own consumer alert was published on the Internet, a government agency also stepped in and began an investigation into the deceptive business practices at the pharmacy.

Now, it appears that Pavilions has also jumped on the dishonest bandwagon.

The other morning, for instance, I was standing in line at he check-out counter, when I witnessed an exchange between a customer and a clerk which turned out to be an eye-opening experience.

For example, at least four items on sale, were not properly charged to the shopper.

In fact, if the middle-aged man was not on top of things, he probably would have been overcharged for the goods and never been the wiser.

A pie advertised at $5.99 was rung up at $7.99, for instance.

Because the Pavilion's clerk wouldn't accept his word for it - I was forced to wait in line along with the disgruntled man - until a box girl dashed back and verified the advertised sale price.

When corrections were made, it turns out Pavilions would have charged the hapless neighborhood resident about five or six dollars in excess of the sum actually due!

Needless to say, I paid attention when I sauntered up to have my groceries tabulated.

Shortly after my purchases were bagged up, I strode over to the Starbuck's outlet at the streetside of the spacious newly-renovated Pavilion's supermarket, for a cup of Earl Grey tea.

As I sat there, savoring the tasty hot beverage, a bit of the conversation going down around me fell on my alert ears.

Judging from what I overheard from employees on a break, Pavilions also appears to engage in other questionable practices which are downright disturbing.

It was revealed that day that several of the workers at Pavilions have relatives in gainful employment there, too.

From an ethical point of view, it's a highly irregular practise, for sure.

When the store first opened weeks ago, and a call went out for employees, were candidates hired based on their skills and overrall experience (and a resume verifying a work history), or did management hire based on nepotism?

If relatives got a priority nod, that was hardly fair to outsiders who applied, wouldn't you agree?

From a practical point of view, nepotism is not politically correct in the workplace, either.

If there was ever a question about  productivity (alleged theft, whatever) levelled at a worker - common sense dictates - the relatives would vouch for (and protect) their own!

Along the same lines of thinking, it should be obvious that if an unhappy shopper lodged a complaint against an employee - for being rude or unprofessional - it is doubtful that the relatives on the sidelines would make good independent witnesses.

In a nutshell, an  incestuous workplace like that, is trouble waiting to happen!

While I am on the subject of Pavilions, I have to note for the record, that a couple of racist African-American security guards are continuing to annoy and intimidate a few of the white shoppers.

That's what happens when you bring in uneducated workers from the struggling lower class (brimming with resentment  towards privileged whites) - outfit them in a security guard's uniform - and bestow upon them  a little authority they can't handle.

Managers at Pavilions need their heads examined!

They sure haven't been thinking straight.

Or, perhaps those unanswered complaints to the executive offices, say it all.

Pavilions doesn't give a damn!

Pavilions...racist Afro-American guard accuses white shopper of stealing "free" newspaper! Incident confirms DNA reports on low IQ...





This morning an Afro-American security guard at Pavilions in West Hollywood established to everyone within eyesight, that he not only had an IQ of about 2 (basic sh** for brains) but is a racist who harasses and discriminates against white shoppers!

When Pavilions unveiled their newly-renovated grocery in WeHo adjacent a few weeks ago, shoppers were particularly delighted that Starbucks was now a part of the upscale supermarket, and that they could slip into a cozy nook-  and not only sip on a hot java - but gobble down a snack or two as they plucked up necessities for the week ahead..

Unfortunately, one hapless white shopper who strode in to do just that, ventured into Pavilions when an Afro-American security guard (with an obvious dislike for caucasians) was on duty at the crack of dawn this morning.

In spite of the fact the pleasant outgoing individual cheerfully said hello to the guard as they rubbed shoulders in passing at the entrance to the cafe, the tall imposing black man reacted by dishing out some pretty bad attitude (for no good reason, I might add).

Shouldn't an employee of a store (known for training its work force to greet customers with a warm welcome whenever they happen to saunter through the door) respond in kind?

Shunning a customer like that not only underscored the security guard's shocking lack of good manners (was he born in a barn?) but also established how clueless the numbskull was about proper business etiquette and how it translates into positive or negative PR for retailers, grocers, and the like.

But the real shocker went down about fifteen minutes later, after the customer scoffed down the last morsel of his morning snack, and nosed his way towards the front of the store..

On the heels of  bidding a couple of the cashiers "good day" (he is a regular at that outlet), he reached for a copy of the "Independent" on a stand nearby, and breezed through the exit to catch up on his chores.

Suddenly, the Afro-American security guard barked out at him from behind.

"Sir!"

When he turned on his heel a few steps outside the exit, the Security Guard strode up - and without checking the all-important facts first - proceeded to accuse the shopper of stealing the newspaper!

Duh!

The "Independent" - a mere slip of a newspaper about four pages in length - is distributed for free!

Obviously, the guard is quite stupid.

If you can imagine it, the incident actually escalated to epic shocking proportions later, when the customer waved the front page of the give-away in his direction and noted that there was no cost for the publication.

Instead of showing remorse - or offering up an apology for making such a grievous error (falsely accusing a shopper of theft is a serious matter, after all) - he dug his heels in and demanded that the shopper return to the inside of the store to double-check the customer's claims.

If  the bonehead had any common sense, or one ounce of intelligence, it should have been obvious from the get-to that there was a solution within easy reach.

Peruse the front page of the "Independent" to verify the information, of course, you moron!

The shopper - who was hopping-mad now - was forced to follow the pig-headed a**hole back into the store - where shocked employees confirmed that the customer was right.

Aren't they usually, folks?

Judging by the expressions on their faces, I expect they came to the quick conclusion (as I did, pronto) that this security guard was not only an idiot, but obviously prompted by some hatred towards white folks to engage in such despicable unwarranted conduct in direct violation of the customer's rights.

By the way, I didn't rush to the conclusion that the "man" is a racist, without first determining from past events and supporting evidence that the allegations are true.

In recent weeks, I was forced to complain about the inappropriate behaviour of Afro-American guards newly-hired at Pavilions, for instance, after witnessing inappropriate conduct which smacked of harassment and discrimination towards white folks.

A few old-timers have also been conjecturing - that in view of the recent influx of Afro-American workers in the neighborhood - there may be an ongoing conspiracy (of sorts) underfoot.

In fact, a handful of astute observers, have been whispering that new hires at the post office, Metro Line, and grocery stores such as Pavilions have their eye on settling in West Hollywood (and taking over the nifty little town adjacent to Beverly Hills ) now that they are gainfully employed with bucks in the bank.

It makes sense, when you think about it.

Every day, black workers in the service industry take the long trek into WeHo from South Los Angeles - work their eight to twelve hours of manual labor - then  head back home again.

Why not just move lock, stock, and barrel to Weho?

All things considered - the bad attitude, harassment, and racism directed at whites from the black sector - signal the awful truth.

There appears to be an ongoing bold-faced effort to make whites & Latinos uncomfortable in normally-pleasant West Hollywood - force them out, in the final analysis - so pushy Afro-Americans can take over the little enclave that gays suffered through hardship and adversity to build.

Off my rocker?

Open your eyes, please.

Time to wake up and smell the coffee, dudes!

Barack Obama..."taking it up a**! Gates controversy inspires LA Times editorial!






I penned a postover the weekened in which I derided Obama's decision to wimp out - and essentially roll over and take it up the a** - from the Cambridge Police Department in respect to the controversy which arose last week in the wake of the foolhardy handcuffing and subsequent arrest of Professor Gates on charges of disorderly conduct.

Post: 07/25/09

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2009/07/barack-obamabeer-bust-politics-poorly.html


An LA TIMES editorial in the morning daily (July 28th Edition) is obviously a response to my put-down of the Prez for wimping-out!

In a nutshell, writer Jonahan Zimmerman takes the position that because the conduct of Police in other Nations is much worse than here, that Americans should look the other way in respect to wrongdoing on the part of Law Enforcement on these Democratic shores.

For starters, Zimmerman proceeds to note that Transparency International (which surveyed 70,000 people in 69 countries for its Global Corruption Barometer in 2009) reported that 24% of the respondents confessed to paying bribes to police (and/or Officials) in the past last year.

According to the eye-brow-raising expose - citizens from around the world routinely identified the police as a "force" that was the most corrupt institution in their societies - ahead of the judiciary, collection agencies (!), and so forth and so on.

However, in addition to being corrupt - taking bribes, extorting money, that sort-of-thing - police officers routinely abused or murdered civilians with impunity in other foreign countries, without exception.

An Amnesty International country-by-country report noted that the abuses included brutalities such as - assaults with truncheons (Armenia), electric shocks (Bahrain), cigarette burns (Mauritania), sexual assaults (Pakistan), and suspension by the wrist and ankles (Yemen).

Based on these statistics, the Los Angeles Times concluded that while our system is not perfect, miscarriages of justice - including police corruption and brutality - happen every day.

Does that mean we should trivialize them or sweep the nasty business under the rug and out-of harm's way?

The editorial staff did concede, however, that any reasonable person would not deny that some police officers unfairly target racial minorities, especially minority males.

Although admitting that in view of the foregoing arguments, the Gates incident amounted to a high-charged one, they took a wild leap and - in the final analysis - concluded that from an International perspective the Gates fiasco was but a mere tempest in a teapot!

"Nobody got shot or assaulted. No money changed hands . And, whatever indignities Gates might have incurred, they paled next to the abuse that so many people in other nations receive at the hands of their own police."

What a cynical misguided jaundiced view of things!

It is because shocking incidents like the Gates matter are on the rise and there is a growing trend towards corruption in the Law Enforcement sector in the U.S. that we - as a polite Society in a just civilized Nation - must be ever-vigilante to ensure that the kind of fascist Police States that prevail elsewhere around the Globe do not have the opportunity to gain a foothold here.

The Gates' controversy has sounded a warning bell.

And, for whom does it toll?

For you and me, big brother!

Barack Obama...beer bust politics! Poorly chosen words...



In a few short succinct words, Barack Obama levelled a criticism at a Law Enforcement Officer earlier in the week which triggered an uproar across the Nation that is still playing out.

The furor first erupted when the Prez - rightly so - scolded a Police Officer for handcuffing and subsequently charging an Afro-American Professor for disorderly conduct at his home.

In a nutshell, Obama called the racist cop "stupid" - at which point - Police Brass went on the warpath.

In a news conference, the arrogant law enforcement low-life's complained to all within ear shot that the assessment was not only harsh, but uncalled for.

"Without a full picture of what happened, Obama should have stayed out of the picture," one angry Police Official asserted for the record.

And, when the President took a leap - and expressed his view that the incident smacked of racial profiling - the outcry was swift and severe.

Whoa Nellie.

For a moment, it appeared a lynching may be in the offing

"The supervisors and the patrol officers of the Cambridge Police Department deeply resent the implication and reject any suggestions that in this case or any other case they have allowed race to direct their activities," Sgt. Dennis O'Connor (President of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association) hissed.

Now, in the midst of the controversy, the Prez has backed down.

What a wimp!

Is Obama going to roll over for these pigs in Cambridge and take it up the a**?

Surely, he doesn't honestly expect for one deluded second that "beer bust" maneuvers (the Prez invited the dualing parties over to chat up the issues over a brewski) will actually win-out in the White House?
If so, he has more suds in his head that I originally thought!

Frankly, I think that Barack should turn in those "Mom Jeans" he wore when he threw the 1st pitch at a recent baseball match back east, and trade 'em in for a snazzy pair of "No Excuses".

For starters, Barack was not "off the mark" - nor did he speak improperly - when he simply called a "spade a spade."

Like or not, the Police force has - and will probably continue to engage in racial profiling - until the department is purged of rogue cops who wantonly and illegally engage in racist conduct.

In fact, when I was on holiday in Las Vegas a few months ago, I personally witnessed an arrest going down on the strip which smacked of racial profiling from the get-go.

Post: 05/12/09

http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2009/05/las-vegasracial-profiling-continues-on.html


But, there is a bigger picture that Barack Obama and Law Enforcements Officials have to keep their eyes focused on.

"Abuse of Power" under the Color of Authority.

The near-riot in MacArthur Park last year is a perfect example.

In spite of the fact thousands of witnesses stepped forward to provide testimony to establish the truth about the shocking conduct of Officers that railed throughout that fateful day, the Police Chief continued to manipulate the facts and evidence behind-the-scenes with the ultimate aim of bolstering the image of the LAPD at the expense of the victims.

Denial! Denial! Denial!

In another shocking incident a few weeks ago, which I penned a post on, the LAPD Vice Squad engaged in conduct that was not only questionable but downright criminal in nature.

In that post I noted that a middle-aged man was falsely accused of committing a crime, unlawfully detained, handcuffed, and subjected to various humilities in front of strangers on the street.

At one point - with the deceitful aim of turning in a neat and tidy package to a superior (a police report and collar) one corrupt rookie cop intimidated the witness (a criminal offense) and tried to coerce the alleged suspect into admitting to a crime (he did commit) to avoid prosecution (of a Felony).

Post:
http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2009/07/lapdvice-squad-threatens-intimidates.html

Of course - the incidents of racial profiling, unlawful arrest, rights violations, and abuse of power under the color of authority - go on and on.

Until Police Chiefs around the country fess up, Barack Obama - in particular - should not let up.

If investigations and paper trails aren't going to get to the truth and result in charges being brought against offending Officers, then the fascist pigs must be tried in the public court of opinion - humiliated, exposed, defamed under the glare of the spotlight - if that is what it takes to turn the tide.

I say, go get 'em Tiger!

In closing, I part with a quiz.

Q: "What is a synonym for a Police Officer?"

A: A Professional Liar!

Los Angeles...too many foreigners? Angry homeless man expresses his angst...



The other day - a male (white mid-40's) - approached me for spare change on the street in upscale West Los Angeles.

Suddenly, without warning, he started into an angry rant.

"There are too many foreigners in Los Angeles," he griped with a bitter tone in his voice.

"The Latino immigrants are hogging all the work."

I surmised at this juncture, that a large percentage of the jobs he was referring to, were probably menial task low-paying posts of not much interest to educated white folks with specialized work skills.

"I'd take one of those jobs. I'm homeless and I need the cash."

"They hate us.," he barked out angrily.

"Why is that?"

I argued that it was probably because - as Paris Hilton would say - "wrinkly old white dudes " - have been in control of the power structure in the United States for the past couple of centuries.

"It's natural for them to resent us," I guess.

When I reflected on the plight of this homeless man later, I recalled that in my travels around the country the past year or so, there appeared to be a growing number of white males in the 40-50 age range - in Las Vegas, San Francisco, and major cities back East - out-of-work and on the streets.

How was it that the fortunes of these men had so tragically reversed?

Was it due to the introduction of computers (and subsequent automation) , the prevailing trend towards cheap non-union labor, or the influx of a wave of immigrants descending on these shores hungry for work at any cost?

No one seems to care.

The media - indeed, political activists and the government, too - have been inclined to put the big focus these days on immigrants and their rights and/or issues pertaining to racism because Blacks allege they have been victims of discrimination.

No wonder, there is a growing outcry from disgruntled Anglo-Saxons, who swear they are being short-changed, too.

I am reminded of the Ron Paul movement during the election.

Although Paul's followers were somewhat extremist in their views about immigrants - and trends that threatened foundations this great Nation were built on - some of their idealogies (and outspoken alarmist views) have not fallen on deaf ears.

A less strident (more realistic) posse of of White Americans have taken a cue and are now standing up and demanding to be heard.

"The Latinos and the Blacks are the ones that are racist."

So, with an eye to the future, grass roots oganizations are springing up in a bold-faced effort to protect the interests of White Americans around the country - with the ultimate aim of holding on to their stake in the American dream - too.

Amen!

Las Vegas...racial profiling continues on strip!



This morning I was taking a brisk stroll along the Vegas strip when I spied three police officers harassing four Afro-American youths.

As their flashy eye-catching roadster (pimp mobile?) purred at the curb, the officers proceeded to unjustly needle the boys.

Over-sized T's etched with exotic jazzy designs on their face, stylish baggy knee-length shorts outfitted with zips and snaps, and a heapload of blinding bling screamed out loud and clear to the pigs.

"Black street trash. Book 'em."

I penned a post on this revolting trend several months ago just prior to the election.

In spite of the fact a "Black" President is firmly ensconced in the "White House" now, for some inexplicable reason, the racial profiling continues.

If Barack sauntered out along the strip one day for one of his infamous casual "walks", would the racists on the police force in Vegas shake him down, too?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Barack Obama...blacks have to be held accountable for their actions! Racism has nothing to do with it...


When Proposition 8 was passed in the November 4th election, I penned a post about some of the specifics pertaining to the protests that erupted in the streets of Los Angeles, in the wake of the unfortunate outcome.

In response, a blogger posted a comment in which he alleged that 70% of Blacks voted "yes" for a ban on "gay marriage", for good reason.

"Because gays in West Hollywood are racist," Monster 62 (!) lamented.

In a follow-up post, I laid bare such a notion and backed up my position with a solid argument.

In the final analysis, I asserted that the black community stabbed "gays" in the back.

Some have alleged in the front, too!

Therefore, I was quite appalled when I read in the weekend newspaper that protestors at a rally against Prop 8 in Los Angeles urged the emotionally-charged activists not to blame the black community!

After all, exit polls verified that blacks voted 2 to 1 in favor of a gay marriage ban.

I proceeded to denounce the anti-Prop 8 rallies on the grounds that the protestors were wrongfully "singling" out Mormons and Evangelicals and ignoring the truth.

Until the protestors were prepared to put part of the blame where it belonged - on the black community - I noted that I could not support their misguided harassment of a select few.

I was quite surprised (and thankful) to open the Sunday paper and come across an editorial by writer Gregory Rodriguez which appeared to be in accord with my position.

Ah, an individual not afraid to voice an opinion, for fear of being labelled a racist!

He started by saying:

"The chattering masses on the post-racial right say Barack Obama's win is one more nail in the coffin of affirmative action. It proves blacks are equal , they say, and therefore they don't need "special consideration" (Amen!) anymore. Abigail Thernstrom wrote it in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday."

Maybe they're right, he continued.

"And gays' attack on blacks for voting to ban gay marriage is the proof. Since when have blacks been the target of left-wing opprobrium about the way they vote? At least since Obama was elected president."

Mr. Rodriguez proceeded to argue that because blacks had no power in the past they could not be racist.

"Difference plus power (old race warriors insisted) equalled racism. Those with no power therefore could not be racist, and by extension, could not be bigoted in other ways as well."

Then, he bold-faced argued that the ascension of an African American to the presidency changed that calculus, primarily because of the symbolism of a black man in the "White House".

At this juncture, he noted that he was deeply impacted by an image he caught on the local news.

A dejected gay protestor at an anti- Prop 8 march - he asserted - argued that blacks got theirs - in the form of a president - but did nothing to help the little guys.

"We're the last minority left," he wailed to the media.

In sum, Rodriquez smugly asserted, whether the gay man knew it or not - he was accusing blacks of doing what many other ethnic groups have done - joining the mainstream by stepping on the group below them.

Then, Rodriquez took a leap!

"I hate to say it, but that's the American way - a constant struggling of outsiders to become insiders."

"If the controversy about Proposition 8 tells us anything, it's that even as discriminatory borders fall, groups in our diverse society will continue to jostle for power, position, and whose vision of the country will prevail."

"Implicit in the criticism of black support for Prop 8 is the idea that, as historically oppressed people, African Americans should have greater empathy for gays. The assumption here is that they cast their ballots as a liberal or even progressive bloc of "black voters"."

That issue aside, Rodriquez also put forth the idea that blacks may have voted "yes" on Proposition 8, because they are all basically "Church-goers" with a traditional Christian ethic which see gay marriage as an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

Hogwash!

If the sermons at the Churches they attend are anything like those wildly pounded out from the pulpit in Chicago by Barack Obama's pastor friend - what's his name - then it's easy to fathom why the black community has gone astray!

Notwithstanding, alleged Christians - involved in the Prop 8 controversy - have been quoting scriptures in support of their stance on a gay marriage ban - that have never been determined to be the actual "word" of God.

In view of the fact the Bible has been edited, rewritten, and updated - by a myriad of Church Officials with secret agendas over the centuries - the words within its covers can not be trusted to be held true.

Moreover, it should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence, that it is not necessary to turn to the scriptures to resolve the problem at hand.

If each of us simply recognized that all individuals are equal - no matter their race, color, creed, or sexual persuasion - the answer to the current "dilemma" facing the courts would be crystal clear.

It's the Devil in sheep's clothing along the way the trips up the many at the expense of the few!

Proposition 8...did 70% of Blacks vote down Gay Marriage? Are West Hollywood gays racist?


Yesterday, I posted a feature about Gay activists who protested the outcome of the Prop 8 initiative on Hollywood Boulevard the other evening, amid an overwhelming presence of riot police.

Some chastised the LAPD for "overkill".

Within minutes of posting, I was quite alarmed to receive a message from one blogger, who asserted that West Hollywood "gays" had it coming, essentially.

Here is what he said, verbatim:


on November 12, 2008 at 6:45 pm Monster 62


"I don’t know why that West Hollywood crowd are all pissed off at blacks because they voted 70% in support of Proposition 8. The reaction they are having toward blacks, etc. is “exactly” why they voted the way they did.

Everyone knows those Gays up in Weho are some of the most “racist” group of people unless it benefits “them”. Here’s some advice West Hollywood Group or Gay’s. How about trying to treat people the way you want to be treated.

If you all want Prop 8 passed one day and get the support — how about getting the support of these other “groups” and help them understand why they should support your cause. Calling people names and using the “slave derogatory word” won’t get you anywhere.

If anything it will make people vote against you. Final word, take “no one’s vote” for granite. Hatred and ignorance has no place in America anymore! If you want “America” to change — you have to start in your own house first."

Post: 11/12/08 http://www.julian1st.wordpress.com/

In my response comment, I noted - for starters - that there were more "blacks" living and working in WEHO than ever before.

And, I might add, in harmony with their neighbors!

I should know; after all, I've resided in West Hollywood for the past twenty years.

Frankly, Monster 62's response was out-of-line, if you ask me.

Not only have gays welcomed blacks, Mexicans - whomever - into the community with open arms, they also incorporated a city where gays and minorities could feel comfortable in their skin, at home in their sexuality, and free of discrimination.

Notwithstanding the obvious, when A.I.D.S. first broke out years ago, it was the gay community that reached out to all those inflicted when the government, straights, and the ignorant would not.

Despite skin color or sexual persuasion, gays offered medical services, shelter, food, and financial assistance.

The A.I.D.S. walk was also instituted, in a bold-faced effort to build a powerhouse of resources so scientists, doctors, and researchers could fight the disease and hasten a cure.

I find it appalling - if true, as Monster 62 alleges - that 70% of the Black community voted down Gay Marriage.

When gays jumped on the bandwagon, and started to back Obama in his bid to be 1st Black President of the United States, I recall penning a post that posed an all-important question of the Presidential hopeful.

Would Barack be urging his supporters to Vote "no" on Proposition 8?

If he took appropriate action, his voice must have fallen on deaf ears.

In retrospect, it appears that the Black Community stabbed all gays in the back.

Is that the thanks gays get for opening up their community in a spirit of humanity?

In view of what has transpired in recent days, I can only opine this.

Too bad we can't turn back the clock!

If blacks are unhappy with the gay lifestyle in West Hollywood, then they should find another community to leach off of.

They're a thorn in the community's side, otherwise!

Barack Obama...red-neck attitudes about candidate! Disc Jockey remains cool...


On a morning talk show a disc jockey earned kudos for his patience in dealing with a combative call-in guest on the live broadcast.

When a voter resides in a specific area of the country, he or she tends to become keenly familiar with differing points of view on key political and social issues.

But, after I listened in on a conversation today on talk radio - I shook my head and seriously wondered if the rantings of a particular young man - is what people often referred to out West as the "red-neck mentality".

Judging from the man's wild off-the-wall comments - it was quite evident that he was not only out-of-touch with the facts - but also reality.

It's doubtful the non-stop mouthpiece ever reads newspapers or the editorials.

Somehow, I surmise that he doesn't even take a boo at the Nightly News, of any persuasion.

For starters - the hostile gent was inclined to control the conversation - which the host took exception to.

"Let's have a conversation," he urged the emotional guest.

"Just let me finish what I have to say, will 'ya?" he blasted back.

His musings were not to be believed, trust me.

First, he asserted that Barack Obama was just a Junior Senator, who had no right to go "in there" and take a shot at the Presidency.

Huh? Was he suggesting that Obama twisted a few arms for his moment in the sun?

Maybe those Chicago stories have more truth to 'em than the voters ever fathomed, eh?

Then, the lack-jawed caller, proceeded to allege that Barack was being evasive about where he was born exactly (!).

"Why did he use the name Barry in school, and not Hussein, then?" he quizzed pointedly.

Oh, he's definitely hiding the fact he's a terrorist, dude!

The disc jockey tried to get a word in edgewise - at which point - he noted the caller lacked tolerance.

"Are you calling me a racist?"

Whoa Nellie!

With a little nudging, the radio host managed to politely get the conversation back on track in a civil manner, but the oddball politico continued with his tirades.



"Obama doesn't have the experience to run the military. And, by the way, that was wrong of him to call McCain by his first name, John."

Shocking disrespect for a Military hero? Uh-huh!


There must have been quite a few heads shaking in amazement on highways and byways around the country in the dewy hours of dawn, I just betcha!

His final comment prompted me to switch channels.

"Oprah Winfrey stabbed every woman in America in the back when she endorsed that man. Hillary had the ticket, you know that, don't you?"

Later, dude!

I think I'll stick to elevator music until the election is over!



Oprah back-stabber extraordinaire...

Barack Obama...Ferraro says, a plus to be Black. An "oreole", perhaps?

Obama breaks "black ceiling"...


A few months ago, I speculated in a post that when it came to voting in the privacy of the polling booths, Americans would be inclined to vote for their own - women for the female candidate, blacks for the Afro-American hopeful, white men for the best Caucasian prospect.

There has been a lot of controversy under the bridge since then - as voters, pundits, and the media alike - tip-toed around the race issue, in particular; usually with disastrous results!

Funny that, a large percentage of the populace became color blind almost overnight - afraid to be labeled racist? You bet!

Or, have Americans suddenly perceived Obama in a different light? Less menacing, not the wild card they expected to encounter on the campaign trail, eh - do 'ya think?

"Saturday Night Live" was recently criticized for hiring a white comedian to impersonate Barack Obama in a hilarious controversial skit which took delicious pokes at both the Senator and Hillary Clinton alike. Some complained quite vigorously that because there was a writers strike on - which stalled production for weeks - that the casting office had ample opportunity to audition for a black fella' to inhabit the politician's skin.

But, wasn't that part of the jab? Weren't the producers subtly suggesting that Obama is an "oriole" - black on the outside, lily white within?

In retrospect, his unique background - his childhood experience, in particular - may have somehow made him more palpable to American voters in the mainstream, I expect.

Curiously, in a recent poll this past week, one in four whites admitted that race was important to their vote, while four out of ten blacks confessed to the same.

A hat off to the honest voter with the gumption to tell it like it is!

Undoubtedly, there are quite a few voters inclined to be influenced by the race card, cowering in the wings, who lack the spine to fess up.

Meanwhile, in the past couple of days, there was a startling new turn of events on the American political scene.

Geraldine Ferraro shattered the "black ceiling" when she boldly asserted that the reason Obama was fairing so well with American voters was BECAUSE he is Black!

What a switcheroo!

For decades, the widely-held general consensus has been that - "black will hold you back" - in respect to politics, gaining entry to the rarefied enclaves of the American social elite, you name it.

In Ferraro's eyes, skin tone is sure to land you at the top of the heap!

Of course, from the sidelines, the critics cried out in angry unison, "Racist".

But when you reflect on the matter, is it?

Whenever we try to fathom the success of an individual, don't we generally take an insightful, probing glance into all the facets of the unfolding scenario that make it so?

Here, the truth is difficult to swallow!

I say, get real America!

Good on Ferraro, for sticking to her - um - guns.

Put that in your pipe, and smoke it!
