NRA commentator Colion Noir frequently points out that he does not fit the stereotype of NRA members, or what he calls OFWG: “Old, fat white guys.” (Molly Hennessy-Fiske / Los Angeles Times) Colion Noir may not fit the NRA stereotype, but he does click with fellow members and is 'certainly causing some controversies.' C olion Noir belongs to the NRA and owns several guns, including a sleek Glock 17 handgun and a customized AR-15 rifle. But as Noir frequently points out, he does not fit the stereotype of NRA members, or what he calls OFWG: "Old, fat white guys." At 29, he's not old. Nor is he fat — he's slender and stylishly dressed with sneakers made by Prada. He's also not white. In the world of gun owners, Noir, an African American, has become an Internet sensation and his popularity is growing. At this year's National Rifle Assn. convention here, he was surrounded by fans when he arrived to film a Sportsman Channel segment on th...

A Queens, New York high school principal, Minerva Zanca, has caused outrage in the community after two African American teachers filed complaints against her for racial discrimination and harassment. Over 36,000 signatures are currently on a petition calling for the firing of Minerva Zanca, a high school principal at the Pan American International High School in Queens, NY, due to her racist beliefs and practices. The two African American teachers, John Flanagan and Heather Hightower, were fired by Zanca, but they believe that they were targeted by the principal and purposely given low teaching performance scores due to racial discrimination. Another African American teacher, Lisa-Erika James, decided to quit working at the school because, “she also felt targeted because of her race.” Assistant Principal Anthony Riccardo confirmed the statements made by these teachers and said he witnessed the racist acts firsthand. He said Zanca referred to the teachers as “gorillas,” and ma...

How sad this is and you are very strong about wrong!!!! This is a sad period in African (American) History . You are not even at the table of political thought. You have been persuaded that the constitution is an obsolete document that needs to be side stepped. When the reality it (constitution) is GOD's grace to you. You should protect and defend it feverishly, and fervently even unto death. As your oppressor has declared you 1/4 human to keep you from it (Constitution). GOD has used it given you liberty, power, and strength. You are too busy following what you are told you should follow. You are party to the wrong political affiliation (The Democratic Party). Meanwhile, they are killing your babies and has convinced your children that their lives are not worth much more than a m...

What if a company that you thought you could trust, knowingly sold you a medicine for your child that they knew had the potential to give your child HIV? How would you react? What if a government agency that claims the responsibility for protecting you from such treachery, not only looked the other way, but was complicit in this exchange? Everyone has heard of Bayer aspirin, it is a household name. Bayer AG also manufactures numerous other products, from pesticides to medicine for hemophiliacs called Factor 8. In 1984 Bayer became aware that several batches of this Factor 8 contained HIV. They knew this because there was an outbreak of HIV among hemophiliac children, and this outbreak was  traced back to Bayer. Unable to sell their Factor 8 in the US, Bayer, with the FDA’s permission, ( yes that’s right, the FDA allowed Bayer to potentially kill thousands )  sold this HIV infected medicine to Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore after February 1984, acc...

US Navy Seal Commander Job W Price Over 20 navy seals are now dead. Who killed bin laden? Was it,  a coincidence? There STILL isn’t any evidence at all that seal’s have killed him. There is evidence that suggest he was already dead and has been dead for years. Osama Bin Laden shown in the videos at the abbottabad compound is a double.  A fake used by whomever for propaganda purposes.  It’s a complete lie and shame like 9-11 or the jfk assassination investigation. -   US Navy Commander who killed Bin Laden, commits suicide  (The Siasat Daily, Dec 25, 2012): Hyderabad – SEAL Team 4 Commanding Officer Job W.

A law to defund the National Security Agency’s Internet dragnet program is gaining surprising momentum. The House of Representatives’ vote today on Michigan Republican Justin Amash’s proposal has gained so much support that the White House is  officially urging  Congress to reject it. “This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process. We urge the House to reject the Amash Amendment,” read a statement from White House Spokesman Jay Carney. Rep. Amash ( CrunchGov Grade : B)  is proposing an amendment to  the Defense Appropriations Bill that would deny the NSA the ability to spend money on any program that broadly spied on Americans. When it was clear that Rep. Amash would actually make it to the House floor for a vote, political leaders took the highly unusual step of dispatching NSA head General Keith Alexander for an emergency meeting with House Republicans and Democrats (a separate caucus with each party).

Kids protest a new anti-homeless law that passed the Tampa city council  If homeless people in Tampa want to avoid jail, they’d better find a place to store their things and a bed to sleep in. That’s because last week, the Tampa City Council  passed  a new ordinance, Item #60, allowing police officers to arrest someone they see sleeping in public or “storing personal property in public.” The vote was 4-3. Advocates are outraged over this new law criminalizing homelessness. Holding signs reading “Sleeping Is Not A Crime” and “Homelessness Is Not A Choice,” many demonstrated outside the Council and testified against the measure, to little avail. A number of the protesters were elementary school children who handed out flyers and  asked  those passing by, “Where are they supposed to go?” Homelessness is a major, pervasive issue in Tampa. A  2012 study  found that, among mid-sized cities, Tampa and the surrounding area had the highest number of...

US President Barack Obama Tags Crime ,  Law ,  Obama ,  Planes ,  Protest ,  USA Only days after clearing Congress, US President Barack Obama signed his name to H.R. 347 on Thursday, officially making it a federal offense to cause a disturbance at certain political events — essentially criminalizing protest in the States. RT broke the news  last month that H.R. 347, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, had overwhelmingly passed the US House of Representatives after only three lawmakers voted against it. On Thursday this week, President Obama inked his name to the legislation and authorized the government to start enforcing a law that has many Americans concerned over how the bill could bury the rights to assemble and protest as guaranteed in the US Constitution. Under  H.R. 347 , which has more commonly been labeled the Trespass Bill by Congress, knowingly entering a restricted area that is ...

This week, President Barack Obama finally spoke to the nation in the kind of powerful and heartfelt way that he spoke to them before he was President of the United States.  The president addressed the not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman as a black man, and shared his point of view in a way that was so direct and compassionate that even some of his harshest critics gave him credit for a job well done. Where did all of this come from?  It is being reported that the pressure came from the African American community.  According to Richard Prince, who keeps  a Journal-isms blog at TheRoot.com,  Obama’s latest reaction to the case was due to the constant prodding by African Americans who were disinterested in hearing from a president who didn’t feel comfortable speaking to the matters that impact their communities. According to  Mark Landler  and  Michael D. Shear  at the New York Times the speech followed “anguished soul-searching by M...

Dr. Christian Head is a former surgeon at the UCLA Medical School.  He is now going to be able to move to his next position a wealthy man after receiving a $4.5 million settlement from the university after a series of racially-discriminatory acts by the university.   The 51-year old surgeon filed suit against the University of California Board of Regents, as well as various members of the university’s faculty for a series of racially-discriminatory remarks and retaliation he received for speaking up against his co-workers. Head claims that he was portrayed as a gorilla being s@domized during a slide show at a graduation event.  When he spoke up, he says that he was punished even further. “The case presented difficult issues of alleged discrimination and retaliation that were strongly contested,” the university said in a statement. “…The matter was settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties.” The incident took place back in 2006.  Dr. Gerald Berke, cha...

A Port St. Joe, Florida man arrested for shooting his neighbor in the face allegedly admitted his crime to police, with a strange excuse. Walter Henry Butler, 59, was arrested by Gulf County Sheriffs deputies after shooting Everett Gant, who is black. Gant was shot in the face after he confronted Butler about using racial slurs to address children living in the apartment complex where the two men reside. Deputies said Butler admitted to shooting the victim, and even called 911 himself to report it, after which he reportedly went back to cooking his dinner. According to  reports,  officers on the scene said Butler seemed annoyed by the arrest and told officers, “I only shot a ni—r. Butler was charged with attempted murder and a hate crime. He is being held at the Gulf County Jail. Gant is said to be in stable condition and is expected to survive.

The serial killer told his family that he did it A new documentary which airs November 21 on Investigation Discovery claims Florida death row inmate Glen Rogers killed O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. In the documentary “My Brother the Serial Killer,” Clay Rogers, Glen Rogers’ brother, gives an interview to filmmakers in which he says, “I’m absolutely certain that my brother killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.” Glen Rogers was working as a house painter in Los Angeles at the time of the murders, according to the documentary. A few weeks before Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were killed, Rogers told his brother and sister he was hanging around with Brown and said she was rich and he was going to “take her down.”
