i was, in part, raised by a black man and spent time in social situations in which i was one of a few whites involved but in recent years the following info seems to be more of the reality and it will be a large problem in the few cases where it ain't so far;


 The 2011 documentary Empire of Dust follows Lao Yang, a Chinese Railway Engineering Company employee stationed in the Congo. The movie is a comedy of errors, verging on the absurd, as Mr. Yang can’t find Africans capable of doing anything right. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong, because of corruption, stupidity, misunderstanding, or some combination. At one point, Mr. Yang laments: “It’s all so tiresome.”..........watch more........

 caitlin presents more evidence that 'our free press' isn't, and this time focusing on the revelation that the key witness against julian assange has said he lied;


As of this writing, it has been three days since the Icelandic newspaper Stundin broke the story that a key witness in the US government’s case against Julian Assange had fabricated allegations against the WikiLeaks founder. And yet, somehow, Assange is still in prison.

Weirder still, not one major western media outlet outside of Iceland has reported on this massive and entirely legitimate news story. A search brings up coverage by Icelandic media, by Russian media, and by smaller western outlets like Democracy NowWorld Socialist WebsiteConsortium NewsZero Hedge and some others, but as of this writing this story has been completely ignored by all major outlets who are ostensibly responsible for informing the public in the western world.

It’s not that those outlets have been ignoring Assange altogether these last few days either. Reuters recently published an interview with Assange’s fiance Stella Moris. Evening Standard has a recent article out on Assange’s plans to marry Moris in Belmarsh, as does Deutsche Welle. It’s just this one story in particular that they’ve been blacking out completely........read more........

White supremacy rears its ugly head once again.

Lonoke, AR — Family and friends of 17-year-old Hunter Brittain have been protesting nearly a week and demanding answers from police after an officer shot and killed him as he worked on his truck. So far, the police have remained tight-lipped and have refused to release any details. Brittain’s friend, however, who was with him the morning he was killed, is speaking up — and his words describe what appears to be a blatant act of murder.

On the morning he was killed, Brittain and his friend Jordan King, 16, were working on his truck’s transmission so Brittain could drive to work later that morning. Brittain’s boss, Scott Hundley, who owns Hundley Construction, confirmed to KATV that he spoke with Brittain the night before to line up a ride to work if Brittain couldn’t get his truck fixed.

“I was checking with him on his truck,” Hundley said. “[He was] sending me pictures of his truck at the shop. He says he’s been working on this truck but he’s trying to make it.”

But thanks to Lonoke County sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Davis, Brittain would not make it to work the next morning. And, according to King, it’s because Davis murdered him.

King spoke to KATV off camera and detailed how the situation unfolded. He told reporters that he and Brittain had worked through the night to fix Brittain’s truck and after they finally got it running they took it on a test drive around 3:00 a.m.

According to King, while on their test drive, Davis pulled them over about a mile from the shop where Brittain was working on his truck. The shop, Mahoney’s Body Shop, according to King is owned by a friend of their family and they had permission to be there to fix Brittain’s truck.

King said Davis pulled them over on Arkansas Highway 89 and within just a few minutes, Brittain would be killed...........read and watch more......
