THE DEPRAVED SUBCULTURE OF AMERICA'S GHETTO BLACKS
THE LEGACY OF A LOOTER: THE BARACK OBAMA STORY
"Obama is no fool and he understands -- having
encouraged Black Lives Matter and the war on police and law enforcement, having
facilitated ballooning welfare rolls and doubling student debt to $1.35
trillion, having presided over a flood of immigrants illegally crossing the
southern border, and having pushed unprecedented deficit spending that added
nearly a trillion dollars annually to the federal debt and doubling that debt
in eight years to $20 trillion -- that the U.S. is nearer collapse than at any
previous time. And every Marxist knows that socialist transformation first
requires collapse of the old order."

PICTURED: Murdered lesbian couple and their two children found 'bound and with their throats slashed' in an act of 'savagery' in their upstate New York home
- Shanta Myers, 36, and her two children Shanise, 5, and Jeremiah, 11, were found dead inside an apartment in Troy, New York on Tuesday
- The body of Myers' 22-year-old girlfriend, Brandi Mells, was also discovered
- Police said the quadruple homicide was not a random act of violence
- Multiple sources said the bodies were found bound and with throats slashed
The lesbian couple found murdered with their throats slashed alongside their two children in upstate New York have been identified.
Shanta Myers, 36, and her 22-year-old girlfriend Brandi Mells were found dead inside an apartment in Troy on Tuesday.
The bodies of Myers' two children - five-year-old Shanise Myers and 11-year-old Jeremiah Myers - were also discovered inside the home.

The bodies of Myers' two children - five-year-old Shanise Myers and 11-year-old Jeremiah Myers were also discovered inside the home
Myers has a third son who wasn't at the home when the murders took place.
The victims were identified by the Troy Police Department on Thursday.
Law enforcement sources told the Albany Times Union that victims had been found bound and with their throats slashed.
Police Chief James Tedesco, who said no further details about their grisly murders would be released just yet, described the slayings as an act of 'savagery.'
'After being in this business for almost 42 years, I can't describe the savagery of this. I don't have the word,' he said on Wednesday.
Tedesco said there was evidence it was not a random act. He would not reveal if any weapons were recovered from the crime scene.
The family were found dead inside the basement apartment in the Lansingburgh section of Troy at about 12.50pm on Tuesday - but police haven't given clear details as to how they were killed, or why.

Troy Police Chief James Tedesco described the murders as an act of 'savagery'
A property manager found the bodies after being asked by family to check on the welfare of the residents.
Autopsies completed on Wednesday afternoon are expected to clarify the timeline of attacks and exactly how the victims were killed.
Police have said they still don't have a suspect for the murders, and don't want to release a potential motive in the fears of hurting their investigation.
'The emotions of a police officer is something you repress because there is a job to be done,' Tedesco said.
'But no one involved in this case is ever going to forget it. Right now our job is to bring this person to justice.'
Troy Police sources said the family, identified as two young siblings, their mother and the woman's lesbian partner, appear to have been targeted for an unknown reason
The unit where the bodies were found is one of five in a home located in a residential neighborhood along the Hudson River’s east bank, just north of Albany.
Pastor Jackie Robinson Sr, of Oak Grove Baptist Church, said that Myers' older son wasn't home when the killings occurred. He is thought to be the last surviving member of the family.
'Until they catch whoever they did this, there are certainly reasons to be fearful,' the pastor told the Times Union.
'We don't know who did it. Until we find out, it certainly makes sense to be vigilant and keep your doors locked.'
He also said that members of the clergy are speaking to children at the local Boys and Girls Club, describing them as 'traumatized.'
'A few had nightmares since this happened. A lot of grown folk are traumatized because this monster is still out there,' he said.

Troy police say the deaths are being treated as suspicious and the incident is being investigated as a quadruple homicide

Talking to the New York Post, the victim's mother, Dorothy, said the couple had been arguing over his use of narcotics.
'At first, he didn't want any children,' she said.
'And when she found out she was pregnant, he said, "I hope you spit out a boy 'cause my track record sucks", because he has three girls.
'We would've known the sex of the baby in nine days, but the nine days are gonna be gone and she's gonna already be in the ground.'

The troubled couple lived together sporadically and Dorothy said Jackson 'had an issue' with angel dust - a powerful hallucinogenic.
Dorothy claimed Bridget spent her whole life dreaming of being a parent and that Jackson ripped that away from her.
She told the NYPD the suspected killer was put on opiates after knee surgery.
Dorothy said the drugs, which come legally in the form of codeine and morphine, are becoming the biggest killer drug on Staten Island.
'But it didn't kill him,' she added. 'It killed my baby, because my daughter's not here no more.'
Her daughter tried desperately to save her own life and that of her unborn child by crawling back inside her apartment, but she died in the doorway.

The lawsuit comes off the heels of an 'eerily reminiscent' case involving another officer who was sacked from the Fort Worth police department on Monday.
Fort Worth Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald terminated 22-year veteran Sergeant Kenneth Pierce on December 18 following a review of an incident earlier in the year.
According to DFW11, Police in August arrived to the Fort Worth home of a woman who reported a domestic disturbance.
As she was retrieving her identification, as instructed, Fitzgerald said Pierce became 'impatient, initiated an unnecessary physical confrontation, and then ordered a rookie police officer to "Tase" the woman.'

Police said because the initial incident stemmed from a domestic disturbance call, they have chosen to withhold the woman's identity in the case.
'I'm confident that everyone who sees this video, including members of this department, will agree this supervisor's response and subsequent behaviors are absolutely unacceptable,' said Chief Fitzgerald.
'We are built on a foundation of being problem-solvers. Pierce responded in an opposite manner, and he escalated the situation endangering everyone involved including his fellow officers.'

Mother
of NBA’s Chris Bosh Arrested and Charged with Keeping a Disabled Man As a
Slave, at Home Bought by Her Son

The mother of former Miami
Heat power forward Chris Bosh has been arrested and charged with the
exploitation of a disabled person whom authorities say she abused in the Texas
home bought for her by the NBA star.
After conducting a December
19 raid at her DeSoto, Texas, home, police arrested Frieda Bosh, and charged her with forcing
a disabled man to help her sell drugs, according to WFAA Channel 8 TV.
A
police report says that investigators found drug paraphernalia and evidence
that the 58-year-old Bosh had engaged in cocaine and heroin trafficking from
her home.
Police
allege that the elder Bosh and a former tenant, Johnathan Brown, forced the
disabled man to deliver drugs for the pair under threat of physical harm. The
victim was living in the Bosh home at the time.
Investigators
also say that Bosh extorted from the disabled man most of his disability
payments given to him for PTSD and depression. She also allegedly forced him to
do housework to keep his room at the home.
Court
papers also say that authorities assume that Bosh engaged in such behavior to
obtain free drugs from her co-conspirator.
According to the Daily
Mail the former Miami Heat player has been at odds with his mother for
sometime and even tried to have her evicted from the Ohio home he purchased.
In a TMZ post from October, for instance, Mrs. Bosh
complained that her famous son was trying to evict her. However, not long
afterward, Bosh appealed the decision and won thereby ending up
saving herself from being evicted. The woman also denied dealing drugs in the
TMZ post
The
former player is also battling to have his mother removed from his power of
attorney to prevent her from having access to his finances.
Mother Allegedly Texted Photos of Herself Choking Her Baby with a Phone Charger
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/12/21/mother-allegedly-texted-photos-choking-baby-car-charger-cord/
A Mississippi mother of two
has been arrested for allegedly sending text messages claiming that she choked
her baby with a phone charger and left her in a wooded area.
Deputies arrested
Santangela Turner, 26, of Laurel, after she allegedly sent photos of herself
using a white cord to strangle her three-month-old daughter’s neck and of the
infant with a knife aimed at her neck, the Daily Mail reported.
The
woman threatened to harm the infant in one of the text messages and added a
photo of the baby with a cord wrapped around her neck, according to the Jones
County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators
say Child Protective Services notified them of the alleged abuse December 13,
and the sheriff’s office issued a warrant for Turner’s arrest.
The
woman turned herself in on Monday, and authorities charged her with felony
child abuse.
Turner’s family members
told the judge at her initial court appearance Tuesday that she had been
suffering from postpartum depression and had been seeking psychological
treatment for the condition, WHPM reported.
The
judge set Turner’s bail at $10,000 and ordered her to not have contact with any
children, including her own.
Turner had been released
from jail Wednesday afternoon, according to Daily Mail.

The Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 and the Breakdown of the Black
Family
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/12/the_davisbacon_act_of_1931_and_the_breakdown_of_the_black_family.html
Conservatives tend to regard the growing
trend of single-parent families as an issue of personal responsibility, but
what if the liberals who blame society are partly right? What if they can point
their finger to a bill sponsored by two Republicans and signed into law by a
Republican president?
Prior to the 1930s, the labor force
participation rate for black Americans was roughly equal to that of whites.
Following passage of the first federal minimum wage in 1931, these
rates started to diverge, and from the 1950s to the present, national black
unemployment has remained at double the rate for whites. This is not
surprising: Minimum wage restrictions discourage businesses from hiring workers
who are regarded as “less marketable” due to either their lack of experience or
societal prejudice.
The impact of minimum wage on worker
participation depends on how much it exceeds market-based wages. This in turn
varies from state to state. Since information on the size of this gap is not
easily available, the state “regulatory environment” as determined by Forbes magazine can
serve a more comprehensive means for estimating of overall administrative
barriers to job growth (including minimum wage).
To detect the effect of the regulatory
environment on black Americans I limited the data to states with significant
black populations because these states are more likely to provide a
representative sample for this group. Based on this sub-sample the line
representing blacks is noticeably steeper than the line representing whites
(Fig. 1). This means that the “employment gap” between blacks and
whites widens as state regulations become less conducive to business.
Fig. 1: Based on
data from Forbes (2016), the U.S.
Census Bureau (2015), and the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (2015) as cited by Thomas C. Frohlich in 24/7 Wall Street. 24/7
Wall Street.
Federal expenditures to states obscure the
effect of overregulation because federal jobs and grants can make up for the
lack of private investment. For example, despite having one of the worst
regulatory environments in the U.S. (ranks 48 out of 50), the state of Hawaii
has one of the lowest unemployment rates. Does this mean that federal
“investments” are a good strategy for narrowing the employment gap? Not really:
Large federal expenditures are justified in regions with an extensive military
infrastructure (like Hawaii or Guam), but spending for the sole purpose of
“economic stimulus” is a zero-sum game that worsens the national debt while
adding nothing to the national economy. Hence, to more accurately detect the
effect of regulatory environment on states, it is necessary to limit the sample
to states with less federal land because these states rely less on federal
employment and control more of their own resources.
When the sample is limited to states with minimal
federal land, the line representing black unemployment becomes much steeper
(Fig. 2). On the right side of the graph the average employment gap between
blacks and whites is 8 points. On the left side the gap is only 3.5 percentage
points (Fig. 3). For the state of Indiana, the gap is a mere 2.5 points. During
this time the governor of Indiana was Mike Pence.
Fig. 2: Based on
data from Forbes (2016), from U.S.
Congressional Research Service, the U.S. Census Bureau (2015), and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015) as cited by Thomas C. Frohlich in 24/7 Wall Street.

Congressional Research Service, the U.S. Census Bureau (2015), and the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015) as cited by Thomas C. Frohlich in 24/7 Wall Street.
If equality is so important to
progressives, why is the right side of the graph dominated by states that have
voted Democratic since 1992?
Rep. John Lewis recently cancelled his
scheduled appearance at the opening of a civil rights museum upon learning that
Donald Trump would be attending. On hisown website, the 1960s civil rights
veteran denounced Trump’s policies as “hurtful” and “an insult” to the people
portrayed in this civil rights museum. Since Trump has neglected to burn
incense on the altar of diversity, how have black Americans faired under the Trump
administration?
Based on data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, black unemployment in September reached its lowest
point in 17 years. It may get even better given the unprecedented rate
at which this president is undoing the burdensome regulations of the Obama
administration. If you are among those who condemn the congressional
Republicans who did not let Obama raise the minimum wage to
$10 per hour, then you should do your homework on Davis-Bacon.
The Davis-Bacon Act was co-sponsored by
Sen. James J. Davis (R-PA) and Rep. Robert L. Bacon (R-NY) and signed into law
by president Herbert Hoover in 1931. According to the Foundation for Economic
Education this law was originally designed to protect white workers from
competition, presumably from the minorities who worked for lower wages. You may
dispute the law’s intent, but you cannot wish away data from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
A chart from Heritage Foundation shows
how the percent of black children born out of wedlock started rising steadily
after 1940, when it was originally 15%. Today it is over 70%. If this is a
“legacy of slavery” why were there less single mothers during the era of Jim
Crow? If this was precipitated by a “brain drain” of black professionals during
desegregation, why did this trend begin thirteen years prior to Martin Luther
King’s march on Washington? Could it be the drug trafficking, or might this be
a just symptom of the chronic unemployment in these communities?
The steady trend towards single-parent
households started within the decade that followed the Davis-Bacon Act. I doubt
this is a coincidence, because few things are more damaging to a man’s
self-respect than undermining his means to make an honest living.
But what about those generous social
benefits in New England? Is being chronically
unemployed in Rhode Island preferable to being “stuck” in a low-wage job in
Nebraska? Which option is more “hurtful” and “insulting”? Which is a greater
barrier to success and personal fulfillment?
If my children ever regard the first
option as remotely preferable I will have failed in my role as a father.

Twenty-two-year-old Marquise Byrd died Friday at an Ohio hospital after he was hit in the head by a sandbag thrown from an overpass
Four teenage boys have been charged with murder in an Ohio juvenile court in connection with the death of a man struck by a sandbag thrown from an interstate overpass.
Prosecutors filed the charges Tuesday in Toledo against the boys, ages 13 to 15, The Toledo Blade reported.
The teens initially were charged with the juvenile equivalent of felonious assault.
Marquise Byrd, 22, died Friday at a hospital.
The driver of the car, who has not been identified, suffered minor injuries.
The Warren, Michigan, father of a one-year-old boy was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car traveling south on Interstate 75 in Toledo when a sandbag smashed through the windshield on December 19.
The Lucas County Coroner's Office says Byrd died of blunt-force trauma injuries to the head and neck.
Police and a prosecutor have said the teens threw other objects from the overpass that night.
Byrd, who was engaged to be married, was on his way to visit friends in Toledo.
Byrd was a front-seat passenger in a southbound vehicle on Interstate 75 (above) in Toledo, Ohio, when he was struck by a sandbag
The vehicle in which Byrd was sitting on December 19 is seen in the above photo
His family is demanding that authorities charge the four teens as adults.
'I would appreciate if [the boys' parents] could at least call my auntie and tell her they're sorry,' Byrd's cousin, Shaveontae King, told the Blade.

King said Byrd was like a brother to her.
When asked to describe him, she said: 'Young, energetic, outgoing, lovable. He had a bright smile.'
Officers received a call at 10:10pm on December 19. They responded to the scene and saw the teenagers leaving the area after the incident.
Prosecutors filed the charges Tuesday in Toledo against the boys, ages 13 to 15. One of the suspects is seen right
So far, Ohio prosecutors said there are no plans to transfer the teens' cases from the juvenile department to adult jurisdiction. One of the teens is seen above second from right
King said she has no sympathy for the teens and wants authorities to charge them as adults.
'My auntie has to bury her son. He's gone. He's never coming back,' she King said.
'She's holding up the best she can.'
So far, Ohio prosecutors said there are no plans to transfer the teens' cases from the juvenile department to adult jurisdiction.
Lori Olender, the deputy chief of the county prosecutor's juvenile division, said that since the teens have no prior criminal records, there is a risk prosecutors would lose if they were tried as adults.

Milan Ross: Vegan chef 'shoots dead estranged wife and two children on Christmas Day'
A vegan chef, author and motivational speaker has been charged with murdering his estranged wife and their two children on Christmas Day following a night-time shoot-out with police.
Anthony Milan Ross, 45, is said to have shot dead 38-year-old Iris Mr Ross and their young children Nigel, 11, and Anora, 10 months, on Monday.
He was also charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault and assault against a police officer.
Police responding to a report of gunfire arrived at a block of flats inPhoenix, Arizona, to find Ms Ross’ body outside. They later found the children’s bodies inside the apartment where their father had barricaded himself.
Officers tried to talk to Mr Ross when he was inside the unit, Sgt Jonathan Howard said. Several hours later, Mr Ross indicated he had killed the two children and began shooting at officers, said authorities. After a brief gunfight, he was taken into custody.
Mr Ross was not hurt, Sgt Howard said. One officer was injured by shrapnel and taken to hospital in stable condition.
Mr Ross is a vegan cook, author and motivational speaker who promotes a plant-based lifestyle using his middle name. He claims to have lost some 100kg in weight after cutting out meat and dairy products.
On Christmas Day, hours before the shooting, he posted a video of himself singing “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” with his son, filmed the day before.
Mary Wogas, Iris Ross’ sister, told ABC15: “I received a text yesterday about 2.52pm. Two messages, first one saying ‘I just killed Iris and the kids’. The second message was ‘with a gun’.
“I knew that man was very unstable. I knew he had a very, very dark side. I didn’t know it was this dark.”
Police had initially indicated Mr Ross no longer lived at the complex in Phoenix and was visiting the area for the holidays, but court documents listed the apartment address as his residence.
Officers did not give a motive for the shooting, which they said they were investigating as a domestic violence incident.
Mr Ross is due in court on 3 January.
