A Chicago man received a combined 16-year prison sentence for carjacking a driver so that he could get to court for a stolen vehicle case.
Edward Flemming, 22, was arrested in January 2020 after he sole a Ford Fusion while wearing a ski mask, but he was released on his own recognizance, CWB Chicago reported.
The following month, Flemming, along with a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl, threatened a 22-year-old male with the intention of stealing the victim’s car so that Flemming could arrive at his court appearance at 9:00 a.m. on February 25, 2020.
The 22-year-old victim had intended to meet a woman he connected with online on the 300 block of West 120th Street, but once he arrived at their meeting place around 8:00 a.m., two men were waiting for him and proceeded to rob him, according to CBS Chicago.
Flemming pointed a gun at the victim while the 17-year-old assaulted him in the face before the three offenders took off with the victim’s phone, keys, and vehicle.
“After police learned about the robbery and broadcast a description of the stolen car over police radio, officers found the vehicle a short time later near 111th and Champlain, and took all three suspects into custody,” CBS Chicago reported.
Furthermore, officers also discovered a handgun in the vehicle that was linked to a stolen weapon in south suburban Lynwood, according to CWB Chicago via a police report.
Flemming pled guilty to armed robbery without a weapon for the carjacking incident; however, prosecutors dropped six felonies he was charged for the second incident. Flemming was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Flemming was also ordered to serve two years in prison for the stolen motor vehicle cases, which he will serve consecutively with the other sentence.
According to CWB Chicago, Flemming will likely serve only seven years because he will receive credit for spending two years and 293 days in custody, along with a 50 percent sentence reduction for good behavior. He is set to be paroled in September 2026, six years and seven months after the carjacking.
Democrat-run Chicago experienced a major crime wave in 2022, as crime complaints increased by 40 percent, according to Chicago police. Moreover, motor vehicle theft rose by a whopping 102 percent, while theft increased by 56 percent.

Records said four capital murder suspects arrested for Tuesday’s murder of a man at a Costco parking lot in Dallas are young people, according to Fox 4.
BLACK Suspect(s) wanted in a series of aggravated robberies in Houston at the 9700 block of S. Post Oak.
Four people were pronounced dead following an attempted traffic stop in Maryland, as a manhunt was underway in the state for two former police officers who were considered armed and dangerous. On Thursday night, police confirmed two of the deceased were the former officers.
Three passengers were pronounced dead at the scene in Smithsburg late Thursday afternoon, including a female driver, an adult man and one child, according to Maryland State Police.
At least 10 people have been arrested for looting Buffalo businesses left shuttered by a blizzard that hit the upstate New York city over Christmas, leaving 37 people dead and thousands without power.
Security footage shows looters smashing storefronts and leaving with televisions, computers, and other high-priced items. "These were not crimes of desperation, but crimes of opportunity to steal items from unoccupied stores during a blizzard," said Erie County district attorney John Flynn, who pledged to prosecute the looters "to the fullest extent of the law."
City officials on Tuesday announced the formation of an anti-looting detail to identify individuals who burglarized stores, WGRZ reported. At least four looters have been arraigned in court, according to the Buffalo Police Department.
Buffalo has accumulated over four feet of snow since Friday, in what New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D.) called "the most devastating storm in Buffalo's long storied history." President Joe Biden on Monday approved Hochul's request for an emergency declaration, a day before decamping to a St. Croix villa owned by a pair of wealthy donors.
Biden will ring in the New Year on the tropical island, where temperatures are expected to remain in the low 80s.
It seems like all I hear these days is how liberals are red-hot for teaching history, while retrograde troglodytes on the right are demanding that we suppress the teaching of history by banning critical race theory (CRT). Haranguing students, day in day out, about their white privilege is just teaching history.
On this beloved Kwanzaa week, here’s some history for you.
Celebrated exclusively by white liberals, Kwanzaa is a fake holiday invented in 1966 by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga – aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, founder of United Slaves, the violent nationalist rival to the Black Panthers. Liberals have become so mesmerized by multicultural gibberish that they have forgotten the real history of Kwanzaa and Karenga’s United Slaves.
In what was ultimately a foolish gambit, during the madness of the ’60s, the FBI encouraged the most extreme black nationalist organizations in order to discredit and split the left. The more preposterous the group, the better. (It’s the same function Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez serves today.)
By that criterion, Karenga’s United Slaves was perfect.
Despite modern perceptions that blend all the black activists of the ’60s, the Black Panthers did not hate whites. Although some of their most high-profile leaders were drug dealers and murderers, they did not seek armed revolution.
No, those were the precepts of Karenga’s United Slaves. The United Slaves were proto-fascists, walking around in dashikis, gunning down Black Panthers, and adopting invented “African” names. (I will not be shooting any Black Panthers this week because I am Kwanzaa-reform, and we are not that observant.)
It’s as if David Duke invented a holiday called “Anglika,” which he based on the philosophy of “Mein Kampf” — and clueless public schoolteachers began celebrating the made-up, racist holiday.

In the category of the-gentleman-doth-protest-too-much, back in the ’70s, Karenga was quick to criticize Nigerian newspapers that claimed that certain American black radicals were CIA operatives.
Now we know the truth: The FBI fueled the bloody rivalry between the Panthers and United Slaves. In the annals of the American ’60s, Karenga was the Father Gapon, stooge of the czarist police. Whether Karenga was a willing FBI dupe or just a dupe remains unclear.
In one barbarous outburst, Karenga’s United Slaves shot two Black Panthers to death on the UCLA campus: Al “Bunchy” Carter and John Huggins. Karenga himself served time, a useful stepping-stone for his current position as the chair of the Africana Studies Department at California State University at Long Beach.
The left has forgotten the FBI’s tacit encouragement of this murderous black nationalist cult founded by the father of Kwanzaa. The esteemed Cal State professor’s invented holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy ’60s rhetoric, black racism, and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another invention of The Worst Generation.
In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, famously posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLA’s revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. These are the exact same seven “principles” of Kwanzaa.
When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from “classical Marxism,” he essentially said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites. (And here’s something interesting: Kawaida, Kwanzaa, and Kuumba are also the only three Kardashian sisters not to have their own shows on the E! network.)
While taking the “best of early Chinese and Cuban socialism” (is that the mass murder or the seizure of private property?), Karenga said Kawaida practitioners believe one’s racial identity “determines life conditions, life chances, and self-understanding.”
There’s an inclusive philosophy for you!
Sing to “Jingle Bells”:
Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell Whitey has to pay; Burning, shooting, oh what fun On this made-up holiday!
Kwanzaa emerged not from Africa, but from the FBI’s COINTELPRO. It is a holiday celebrated exclusively by idiot white liberals. Black Americans celebrate Christmas.
Black Lives Matter Lauded Fidel Castro, Domestic Terrorists
I reported previously how Dean Eduardo Peñalver of Cornell's famous law school used an official Cornell University web page to condemn Legal Insurrection's William Jacobson for disparaging Black Lives Matter. This page, which is still online as of December 27, 2022, says in part (emphasis is mine),
In light of this deep and rich tradition of walking the walk of racial justice, in no uncertain terms, recent blog posts of Professor William Jacobson, casting broad and categorical aspersions on the goals of those protesting for justice for Black Americans, do not reflect the values of Cornell Law School as I have articulated them. I found his recent posts to be both offensive and poorly reasoned.
I also reported how Hardin-Simmons University apparently forced out a student for posting a TikTok video that disparaged Black Lives Matter. HSU is already facing declining enrollments due to other reasons, and, in light of the following discovery, its treatment of this student should be an absolute disqualifier in the absence of rapid corrective action by HSU (including, for example, a public apology to the student in question). Less expensive public universities in Texas cannot discriminate against students for political views, and if students want education with a Baptist focus, there are plenty of Baptist churches and other organizations on or near the public universities in question.
I am also not sure why prospective law students should pay Cornell roughly $75,000 in annual tuition when SUNY Buffalo is closer to $25,000 a year for New York residents in the absence of corrective action by the university's administration or trustees. This corrective action should, as I see it, consist of removal of the web page in question along with a public apology to Professor Jacobson.
Black Lives Matter Eulogized Fidel Castro and Praised Domestic Terrorists
I came across the following eulogy for the murderous Cuban dictator Fidel Castro while looking for more information on "Mama Assata," as BLM calls the convicted cop-killer and domestic terrorist Assata Shakur, AKA Joanne Chesimard. This is straight from BLM Global Network itself and not from any of its detractors.
The first thing to note is the call for "revolution," which uses civil rights as a means rather than an objective. This reinforces the position that the only real difference between BLM icon George Floyd and Nazi icon Horst Wessel is that Floyd was Black and Wessel was Caucasian. Both were violent thugs; Floyd was convicted of a gun-armed robbery, and Wessel belonged to extremist paramilitary organizations. Both were later killed unlawfully, Floyd by Derek Chauvin, who, with the benefit of hindsight, had a badge and a gun he should not have had, and Wessel by communists.
What follows is even worse than anything I and many others had previously imagined despite BLM's long track record of encouraging civil unrest, credibly alleged misuse of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt resources to influence the 2020 presidential election, anti-Semitic hate speech, and anti-Semitic denial of the right of Israel to exist.
As a Black network committed to transformation, we are particularly grateful to Fidel [Castro] for holding Mama Assata Shakur, who continues to inspire us. We are thankful that he provided a home for Brother Michael Finney Ralph Goodwin, and Charles Hill, asylum to Brother Huey P. Newton, and sanctuary for so many other Black revolutionaries who were being persecuted by the American government during the Black Power era.
The article ends with "Fidel Vive!" (Fidel Lives), so let's take a look at what BLM supports.
Thousands of Cubans have died in front of Castro's infamous "paredón" (the wall). There was no discrimination, as far as sending people to the firing squad was concerned. Young and old, black and white, rich and poor were sent to "el paredón."
Always Turn Over the Rock
I doubt that this is what either Hardin-Simmons University or Cornell's Law School supports, but this is why you should always turn over a rock to see what is crawling around underneath it. I recall seeing an attractive home page for the Council of Conservative Citizens, which showed a middle-class Caucasian family and talked about "our way of life." The website seemed to be about preserving the American way of life, which sounded fine to me. Then I turned over the rock to discover that this organization is also called the White Citizens Council. Rep. Bob Barr, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul were taken in by it as well, but when they also turned over the rock, they distanced themselves from this organization very quickly.
We have so far turned over the BLM rock to find support for a murderous dictator and human rights–violator. We know that "Mama Assata" is on the FBI's Most Wanted List for murdering a New Jersey state trooper. Now let's look at "Brother Michael Finney Ralph Goodwin, and Charles Hill."
CNN's Patrick Oppmann reports that Charles Hill is an admitted hijacker, and it goes downhill from there.
All three men were members of the Republic of New Afrika, a black power militant group that sought to break off Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina into a separate nation for African-Americans. They were on the way from California to the South with a car loaded with weapons to support the cause.
One of them then killed a New Mexico State Police officer, and then all three carjacked a tow truck and stormed an airliner, where Hill held a knife to the throat of a flight attendant. Finney then menaced the airplane's crew with a gun and told them he had already killed a man, which seems to be his admission to the murder of Rosenbloom. That was how they ended up in Cuba to be welcomed by Fidel Castro.
BLM Supports Cop-Killers, Carjackers, Terrorists, and Hijackers; Do You Still Support BLM?
We have therefore seen, from BLM's own words and not those of its critics, that this organization supports cop-killers along with violent Black separatists, carjackers, and hijackers. BLM also supports convicted terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who murdered two Jews with a bomb and tried to murder more with a second bomb, which, however, the Israelis disarmed in time. Note by the way that Facebook's so-called Community Standards, which forbid glorification of dangerous individuals, do not seem to apply to Rasmea Odeh.
Cornell's Law School, Hardin-Simmons University, and also various corporations that have given money and/or public relations support to Black Lives Matter* now need to ask whether this is still something with which they wish to associate their names or, as Bob Barr, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul did when they turned over the rock called the Council of Conservative Citizens, rescind that support publicly and unequivocally. Noting that the Democrat party also put its support behind BLM in 2020, the Republicans need to make this a foremost talking point in 2024.
Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. The author is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.
* Some donations may have gone to Robert Ray Barnes's Black Lives Matter Foundation, which is emphatically not the same thing as BLM Global Network. Barnes's organization seeks to improve police-community relations and has absolutely nothing to do with the activities depicted above. Further research on the companies listed by the Washington Examiner shows, however:
Sprite (a Coca-Cola brand) donated half a million dollars to BLMGN.
Airbnb says it donated to the BLM Foundation, but the hashtag seems to link to BLMGN, so this needs clarification on their part.
Ritz Crackers, Oreo, Trident, and Chips Ahoy (all the same company) cite BLMGN (@blklivesmatter) in their tweet of support.
While Microsoft also says "Black Lives Matter Foundation," the link goes directly to BLMGN.
A career criminal was arrested Christmas Eve after he allegedly went on a stabbing spree that resulted in two people killed, including a pediatrician.
Roland Codrington, 35, was charged with two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, one count of second-degree assault, and one count of criminal mischief, according to the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
At an NYPD press conference Monday, officials explained that Codrington’s alleged crime spree began on December 19 when he fatally stabbed James Cunningham, 51, in the neck. The victim’s body was found at around 1:00 a.m. on Avenue A near East 13th Street.
Cunningham and Codrington were involved in a confrontation before the victim was killed, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig.
“There’s no prior interactions. They bump into each other. They have a 20-second, caught-on-camera dispute,” Essig told reporters at a Monday briefing. “Our perpetrator just takes out a knife and slashes across the neck, and then leaves.”
On December 22 at around 11:30 p.m., Codrington was involved in a second incident where he allegedly entered Teddy’s Bar, located at 2171 Second Avenue in East Harlem, with a pit bull and baseball bat.
“He proceeded to go behind the bar, where he assaulted the bartender and destroyed property. When two customers intervened, they were both stabbed with a large knife that the male was carrying,” Essig told reporters. All victims from the second incident suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect was allegedly upset from a previous incident where he was kicked out of the same bar the week prior.
Following the events at the bar, Codrington took a walk to “cool off” in Harlem’s Marcus Garvey Park, where he then confronted pediatrician Dr. Bruce Maurice Henry, 60. The two had a verbal exchange before Codrington allegedly slashed the doctor in the throat, ultimately killing him.
Police found Henry’s body at around 2:15 a.m. on December 23.
Investigators connected the three incidents together and zeroed in on Codrington as the suspect.
Codrington was arrested on Christmas Eve after he was caught allegedly driving the stolen blue Mercedes of the slain doctor at Jerome Avenue and 166th Street in the Bronx. He was taken into custody without a struggle.
Police are now investigating whether Codrington may be connected to any other unprovoked stabbings in the city.
Codrington has an extensive criminal history, where he has been arrested 12 times since 2006. His most recent run-in with cops was a vehicle-related arrest in 2022, according to Essig. He also has several other arrests for assault with a weapon, knife possession, gun possession, assault, knife robbery, and knife assault.
Law enforcement sources told the New York Post Cordington might have as many as 20 arrests, with some of them being sealed.
Major crime in the Big Apple has increased by over 22 percent since last year, with felony assaults up by 12.6 percent, according to NYPD crime statistics. While murder is down, fatal stabbings have increased 37 percent this year, the Daily Mailreported.

80-year-old California store owner who shot robber dies
NORCO, Calif. (AP) — An 80-year-old Southern California liquor store owner who opened fire with a shotgun and wounded a would-be armed robber this summer has died, the store reported Tuesday.
Craig Cope died Tuesday morning, and a memorial at Norco Market & Liquor will be held at a later date, according to a Facebook post. It didn’t mention a cause of death.
Cope was alone at the counter shortly before 3 a.m. on July 31 in Norco in Riverside County when a man in a ski mask came through the door, pointing a rifle and demanding: “Hands in the air! Hands in the air!” Surveillance video shows Cope firing one blast from the shotgun.
The gunman fled. Surveillance cameras outside the store caught him screaming “He shot my arm off, he shot my arm off!” as he got into a car and was driven away.
“I didn’t have time to be afraid" after the car with four robbers pulled into the parking lot, and some got out wearing masks and gloves and holding weapons, Cope told KTTV-TV.
One robber came through the door with what Cope said appeared to be a semiautomatic rifle.
“The guy pointed the gun directly at me. It was him or me," Cope told the station.
Four men were later arrested at a hospital where the wounded suspect was being treated. The getaway car had been stolen in Las Vegas and contained stolen weapons, authorities said.
Cope was commended by the Sheriff's Department. Video of the shooting made him a celebrity. People flocked to the store to photograph and congratulate him and to buy items, including a T-shirt with the slogan “Don’t Mess with Norco, We’ll shoot your arm off,” KABC-TV reported.
Cope had owned the store since 1976. After the shooting, he suffered a heart attack but recovered and returned to work before having a disabling stroke in October.
Celebrity-Backed Bail Reform Group Shuts Down Las Vegas Chapter After Bailing Man Who Shot Waiter 11 Times
A left-wing bail reform organization discontinued its Las Vegas chapter after it was sued for helping bail out a repeat offender who shot a restaurant worker 11 times nearly a week later.
The Bail Project — which has celebrities Danny Glover, John Legend, and Richard Branson sitting on its advisory board — ceased its Sin City operations in early December and is currently restructuring, CBS affiliate KLAS reported, citing the organization.
The shuttering of the non-profit organization comes after it became the subject of a lawsuit after posting a $3,000 bond in December 2021 for serial criminal Rashawn Gaston-Anderson, who was suspected of burglary at the time.
Six days after being released, Gaston-Anderson shot restaurant worker Chengyan Wang 11 times at the Shanghai Plaza mall located in Las Vegas Chinatown.
Gaston-Anderson, 24, was sentenced earlier this month to seven to 18 years in prison after reaching a plea deal to be convicted on charges of attempted robbery and mayhem, both with deadly weapon enhancements, NBC affiliate KSNV reported.
Although Wang survived his injuries, he suffered seven gunshot wounds, including a punctured lung and stomach.
In September, Wang filed a lawsuit against The Bail Project, Gaston-Anderson, and Shanghai Plaza owner U.S. Hui De Real Estate Investment Corp. of Law Vegas.
Wang accuses The Bail Group of failing to consider Gaston-Anderson’s criminal history before they bonded him out, including his pending and past cases of “burglary of a business, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, two counts of grand larceny and attempted grand larceny,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“They’re going around as a bailing agency bailing people out with no or little due diligence,” said Wang’s lawyer Kory Kaplan stated via the Review-Journal.
The lawsuit also accuses the group of never having registered as a bail agent under Nevada’s Division of Insurance, which is legally required by the state.
In addition to the allegations against the offender and non-profit organization, Wang accused Hui De Real Estate Investment Corp. of a lack of adequate security at the plaza when he was shot.
Wang is seeking $15,000 in damages, per the lawsuit.
The Bail Project has several chapters across the U.S. but no longer lists the Las Vegas chapter on its website and has seemingly taken down the chapter page.
The organization’s stated goal is to end cash bail. Furthermore, the group once claimed in a court filing that it has bailed out “22,000 low-income people as of December 2021, with more than 72,000 court dates and an appearance rate of 92 percent,” according to the Review-Journal.
This is not the first time The Bail Project has been criticized for helping free an accused felon who would then commit another crime.
In October 2021, Travis Lang allegedly shot and killed Dylan McGinnis after The Bail Project posted Lang’s $5,000 bail in January 2021.
Lang is accused of a number of offenses dating back to 2018 and was jailed in October 2020 for possession of cocaine, a Level 6 felony. He is believed to have continued selling drugs after he was released.
In a Breitbart News Saturday interview in January 2022, McGinnes’ mother, Nikki Sterling, slammed the organization for seemingly failing to do research on Lang’s background.
“They indicate that their mission is to fight incarceration by bailing out low-income individuals but many statements I’ve seen on television made by the organization … is that they don’t actually look at the offender’s criminal history before they bail them out of jail,” Sterling said.

New Orleans police noted the city was at 248 homicides as of December 12, 2022, FOX News reported. There were 218 homicides during all of 2021, and those 218 were the highest the city had seen in a year since 2005.
Reparations, the New Slave Wages
What the black community must do if it wants to overcome.
Yes, I said it and I mean it wholeheartedly. Every Black History month Blacks sing “We Shall Overcome” but if the Black community in America continues to accept and foolishly advocate for a slave mentality, that is what they shall get. The progressive socialist left, aka the Democrat party, has been highly successful in perpetuating a victim mentality for the black community. And in many ways, it has been the policies of the white socialist elitists of the left that have decimated and destroyed the black community.
Over the centuries, it has been the Democrats who have brought forth the policies of secession, slavery, segregation, and socialism…the dreaded 4S’s of the leftist apocalypse. In every way, these ideologies have proven detrimental to the existence of the black community. It is very comical to me to hear Democrats talk about Jim Crow when that is the policy they created and implemented, along with poll taxes, literacy tests, and lynchings. It was the Senate Democrats who have the record for the longest filibuster in US Senate history, against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which passed thanks to Senate Republicans led by Everett Dirksen.
The so-called Great Society programs of widely known racist Democrat president Lyndon Johnson proved not so great. It led to the destruction of the traditional nuclear black family and turned American inner city communities into new economic plantations. Today, the black community is plagued with high unemployment, rampant fatherlessness, the genocidal murdering of our unborn babies, substandard schools, and lagging small business entrepreneurship. The new civil rights issue of this current age is school choice, but leftists, led by the Randi Weingarten teacher’s unions stand against it.
And what is the remedy for the ramifications of the destructive leftist policies?
Let’s give Blacks reparations for that which we created, implemented, and continue to support. Do not forget that Little Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma was destroyed by white Democrats.
Reparations? Yes, reparations, the new slave wages, after all, the Democrats, and the new overseers on the new black economic plantation — the Congressional Black Caucus — must continue to perpetuate the slave mentality. And this ungodly cabal must promote victimization because the crop of this economic plantation is not cotton, it is the vote.
My ideological mentor is a Black man who was once a slave. When he learned that he was free, he did not ask for reparations. No, Booker T. Washington sought out that which breaks the chains of any bondage, that which had been denied him, an education. Washington did not ask for gold bullion, a check, cash, or anything. He wanted that which leads to the golden ring of equality of opportunity, and knowledge. And with his dedication to education, he was recognized, and given the seemingly incredible task of establishing the first school of higher education in the south, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.
Booker T. Washington had a three-point agenda, ideology — education, entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and truly classical liberal and conservative principles and values. A man who was born a slave hosted an American president at his school, and dined with another in the White House. He helped form the Negro Business League which spawned the first generation of black economic growth.
Washington’s autobiography “Up From Slavery” along with Shelby Steele’s “White Guilt”, and Jason Riley’s “Please Stop Helping Us” should be mandatory reading for any imbecile advancing the idea of reparations…and those harboring that despicable victim mentality.
I am a proud American Black man, and that pride comes from a family of uniformed servants to this Nation. My Dad served in a segregated Army but he still challenged me to be the first officer in our family. I was born in a blacks-only hospital in Atlanta Georgia, 61 years ago. I was raised to never be a victim, but a victor. I was raised to never see, or allow anyone else to see my color as an impediment to success and achievement. My Mom taught me that self-esteem comes from doing esteemable things — somebody giving you some money for nothing ain’t gonna build up your esteem. That is the socialist economic theory tenet of creating and expanding a welfare nanny state.
In many ways, this insidious idea of reparations is just a big grown-up participation trophy. A silly gesture that essentially is worthless.
Two years ago I wrote the book, “We Can Overcome, An American Black Conservative Manifesto”. If the black community wants to overcome, stop being played by these white socialists, like the ones who founded the NAACP. Stop allowing deranged whites like Margaret Sanger and her legacy of killing future generations of black babies before they are born.
And stop with this dumbass victim mentality and being told that we are still slaves. I am a slave to no man or woman. I am a damn American and my forefathers sacrificed so that I could one day write this missive to be read by countless of my Countrymen and women.
And if this upsets white progressive socialists and their radical black lackeys…well, Hooah!
Steadfast and Loyal.

Racist Mayor: Jorge Elorza
Providence fixes racism with $346 checks for every black person.
During the long hot summer of Black Lives Matter race riots, Providence’s Mayor Jorge Elorza announced a truth and reparations commission, accusing the city and all of Rhode Island of perpetrating “generations of pain and violence and systemic oppression”.
The leftist racist, who has been steadily sending the city down the drain, urged the 33% of white people still left in Providence to “heal by discussing and accepting these uncomfortable truths”.
The commission would not be looking into Elorza’s alleged systemic racism which resulted in a lawsuit by the city’s former Department of Public Works director claiming that he was fired over a principled refusal to hire unqualified people “because of their ethnic backgrounds” while being banned from hiring “qualified applicants of a different ethnic background”.
These “uncomfortable truths” were not on the truth and reconciliation menu.
Instead, Elorza pushed forward with a plan to offer $10 million in reparations even though Rhode Island had actually been the first state to ban slavery and was founded by Roger Williams: an opponent of slavery. The tiny state had mobilized 25,236 soldiers in the Civil War including the 11th United States Colored Heavy Artillery Regiment. 1,771 Rhode Islanders paid the ultimate price and twenty were awarded the Medal of Honor.
That, not Eloriza’s $10 million grift, is what actually fighting racism looks like.
“These funds move us one step further towards closing the present-day racial wealth and equity gap,” Mayor Elorza falsely claimed.
With 28,834 black people living in Providence, that $10 million amounts to a $346 check for every black person. That’s enough to cover a week of groceries for a family of four.
Meanwhile, only “14 percent of Providence students are proficient in English and 6.8 percent are proficient in math.” The good news is that Providence students are so illiterate that they don’t even realize that Rhode Island wasn’t a member of the Confederacy.
And they know so little of basic mathematics that they have no idea how much $346 is.
Elorza’s racist virtue signaling doesn’t close any gaps. And it’s now under fire because it’s insufficiently racist since poor white people can also apply. That’s because the racist mayor chose to use cash from Biden’s inflationary $1.9 trillion stimulus plan which can’t exclude non-black applicants. Like the mayor himself, his reparations have failed in every possible way.
“You can’t just throw around $10 million for this-and-that program and call it reparations, because then it will be done without ever really having a conversation about what repairing the harm would look like,” a member of Elorza’s African American Ambassador Group complained.
Elorza’s racist crusade has thus far toppled a Columbus statue, and eliminated “plantations” from the city’s historic name in time for Juneteenth: even though the name had nothing to do with slavery. But expecting a city of illiterates to know that may be asking too much.
Meanwhile, Providence still has a 23% poverty rate: more than double than the state average.
The 92% of minority students in the Providence School District, most of them Hispanic, have reading proficiency scores that are half that of the state average and math scores that are almost a third that of the state average.
Homicides rose for three straight years: hitting a high that hadn’t been seen in a decade.
In 2021, 75 people were shot and 23 were killed in Providence. More than half of the entire state’s murders in 2020 took place in Providence even though the city holds only a fifth of Rhode Island’s population.
Asked to explain this phenomenon, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha pointed out that, “If you shoot 22 rounds into the air, the odds of hitting someone go dramatically up, which in part leads to more outcomes resulting in death.” This is as undeniably true as it is irrelevant.
More relevantly, pro-crime policies, like those championed by Mayor Jorge Elorza, such as the Providence Community-Police Relations Act, have worsened crime in the area. To paraphrase the attorney general fired by the Trump administration, If you keep pandering to criminals, the odds of them committing crimes go up which leads to more outcomes resulting in death.
Mayor Jorge Elorza and his allies keep blaming racism for Providence’s miserable state, but Democrats have run Providence for 86 of the last 100 years.
If there’s any systemic racism, it was their system. And it’s so now more than ever.
Elorza has been running Providence into the ground for the last 7 years. Whose fault is all the misery? Taking down a Columbus statue or requesting a report about events 400 years in the past is a convenient cover-up for who’s actually in office now. And it ain’t Christopher Columbus.
Providence has a Democrat mayor and an all-Democrat council.
In 2019, former Providence City Council President Lou Aponte, one of the most enduring politicians on that body, pleaded guilty to felony embezzlement. In 2018, Majority Leader Kevin Jackson was sentenced to a year in prison for stealing over $100,000 from a youth charity.
What Providence really needs isn’t a truth and reconciliation commission, but a commission to stamp out the corruption and organized crime that the state and city have become infamous for.
Behind all the racist virtue signaling are uncomfortable truths about crime and demographics.
A Matter of Truth, the truth and reconciliation report commissioned by the mayor, blames racism for black people getting COVID and quotes BLM co-founder Alicia Garza boasting that “black communities have the power not just to save the country, but to lead the country.”
Not so much in Providence, Rhode Island, where Latinos have long since become the dominant minority group. Mayor Jorge Elorza is the son of Guatemalan immigrants. Of the 15 city council members, all Democrats, 6 are Latino, some of African heritage, but only one is black American.
And behind the virtue signaling and wokeness are some ugly realities, Councilwoman Carmen Castillo, the Dominican immigrant who became the subject of a documentary for going from hotel cleaning lady to the city council, was charged in a hit and run crash. While Castillo might have faced a 6-month prison sentence and a ban on running for public office, instead she got a slap on the wrist with no prison time and a $3,500 payout to the victim.
Asking about that would be racist. Obviously.
Castillo defeated NAACP president Gerard Catala who faces an investigation over campaign finance violations including depositing a political contribution to his personal bank account.
But that’s just Providence politics which brings together corrupt Democrats of all races and creeds to screw over the illiterates who can’t read or add, but keep voting for them.
Even after they’re dead.
Providence’s Latino political elites keep pushing the ‘white guilt’ button while using black people as human shields. Most of the city’s minority population isn’t black and sleazy racists like Elorza are using false accusations of racism to seize power and distract attention from their abuses.
America isn’t racist, but Providence’s political elites are as corrupt as they are racist.
