Prison in the Cards

Many black men face a rough new rite of passage

By Silja J.A. Talvi

According to two recent research studies, the path that awaits young, undereducated African-American men is more likely to lead them to prison than anywhere else. In fact, with the expansion of the nation’s sprawling prison industrial complex since the 1980s, things have gotten far, [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

    (Funny, when compensation, or that four letter word reparations comes about, the claws are extended.)

    Since, you felt the need to attract my considerable attention…..

    No Micheal Hardesty, you PERSONALLY, OUT OF YOUR OWN PIGGY BANK, do not owe African Americans anything. INSTITUTIONALLY as whole, this country, the US of A, does owe African-Americans a HUGE debt. The civil rights work your wife did in the 60s is WELL appreciated - I returned the favor by volunteering during my youth at the Associated Jewish charities, actually spending time with elderly Jewish people who had no family (some due to the HOlocaust). 

    HOWEVER THERE IS SO MUCH MORE WORK TO BE DONE, as evidenced by some of the posts in this discussion. The gains of the civil rights movement occurred because the US was publicly shamed by the world at large during WWII for its treatment of African-Americans as a human rights violation and morality issue - basically you can’t dictate to Germany when look at how shamefully you treat your own people. AGAIN, KNOW HISTORY BEFORE YOU SPEAK.

    The fact that your family are “recent” arrivals doesn’t absolve Irish Americans (who are European) of anything. Read the history of this country - the period after Reconstruction, was one of the bloodiest, repressive, oppresive and awful times for the “offcially emancipated” African Americans. And the IRISH sure sided with the “white” people when they got here.

    And guess what else during this same time period that you’re quoting? The Irish were allowed in this country as labor to DISPLACE AFRICAN-AMERICANS already here; the Irish themselves were trying to ESCAPE OPPRESSION, FAMINE AND RACISM FROM THE ENGLISH. Once here in the US and only here in the US, the Irish became “White”. (This only means that in the US, if you aren’t of African descent, you now become “White” with its privledges.)

    In Ireland, sheep displaced the Irish off the land that they farmed for rich landowners. (Settlement Act, The Penal Codes and Catholicism, The Great Famine.) Hmmm…I think the Irish are still fighting now….? DO YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY? I make it my business to know yours and mine. Many of the same arguements you give about African-Americans and their supposed criminality, etc. were used against the Irish both in Ireland, England and the US when your family immigrated here…how things change and stay the same.

    Listen Michael Hardesty and crew, African-Americans would much prefer a TRUE LEVEL-PLAYING FIELD, REAL EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND EQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW AND ALL INSTITUTIONS IN THIS COUNTRY, rather than blood money, which is a little different from welfare. Enron, MCI, big business in general receives PLENTY of welfare - go ask them for your money back!

    But the “guilt”, which is actually resentment that African-Americans keep pushing for our due, we sense from European-Americans on this issue is just this - WE ARE STILL TREATED IN 2004 UNFAIRLY AND AS SECOND CLASS IN A COUNTRY BUILT ON OUR STOLEN LABOUR AS COMPARED TO EUROPEAN-AMERICANS. 39 YEARS AFTER the US LEGISLATES EQUAL CIVIL RIGHTS, WE ARE EXPECTED TO CATCH UP IMMEDIATELY ON 400 YEARS OF OPPRESION WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND OUR BACKS.

    Everyone needs to learn to separate questions of culture from economic and legislative issues. We don’t care if you personally don’t like us, we really don’t care if you don’t want to be our friends, smile at us, play golf or basketball with us or marry us. (I’m not mad when we’re have Dr. Ben Carson, Taye Diggs and the dancing Joe Boxer Kmart guy - um, um good.)I don’t care if you think we are some of the rapping-est, 40 drinking, big pants wearing, no education having, bring down the property values “mo-fos” you ever saw! You’re personal opinion MEANS SQUAT! BUT UNDER THE LAW? If my son and your daughter get into trouble at school, equal treatment. When I outshine you at work, equal advancement. When your Danny Boy cousin and my “Mo-fo” cousin get arrested, equal treatment. THAT’S WHAT WE WANT!

    Also, your “leftie” credentials to prove your aren’t racist do not impress me - here’s a secret. There are very intelligent African-Americans out here, myself included, who don’t eqaute “left or liberal” with being “the Black man’s friend”. Traditionally, “the left” focused on labor issues. Truthfully, both parties don’t appeal and the dumbing down and oversimplififcation of political culture/ ideology and economics is simply amazing. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to school you.

    You dear Michael, despite your pretensions and thoughts otherwise, are a victim of media and political manipulation as well as evidenced by your thinking. SO, the political machine has stolen your independent powers of analysis too.

    And oh yeah, as a hot cheerleader in college, this cute Irish kid Mike from the burbs really liked me. (I thought it was wierd too, but I am hot.)Guess what? Dude was the campus weed farmer and supplier out of his dorm room, I kid you not. He was definitely beneath me, as I come from an upstanding family, and he was so obviously criminal minded…should he have been profiled by the crminal system?

    United States Posted by Ingrid on Aug 31, 2004 at 11:29 AM

    You bring up some points worth refuting in your
    extensive rant so let’s take the Irish who came
    here in the 19th century. They not only did not
    displace blacks but they themselves couldn’t get
    work because of the widespread anti-Irish discrimination that existed into the 20th century.
    I had ancient Irish relatives in West Virginia
    that were on both sides of the Civil War.
    If Irish today were committing the volume of crimes that blacks routinely do, they would and
    should be profiled. If I was handling airport
    security I would certain be warier of a Saudi
    than a Swede and that’s entirely rational.
    Personally I support the Palestinians and my
    wife tends to be slightly more pro-Israeli.
    But I think their suicide bomber tactics have
    been totally counterproductive and have only
    strenghtened the hand of the ultra-Right Likud
    forces in Israel and here in the US Jewish community. Ergo for black crime and general
    sociopathology, it has been the cause of every
    rightwing victory since 1966. Reagan, Nixon, etc. Now your charge that someone who disagrees with
    you is the victim of media manipulation is
    meaningless because by definition anyone who
    disagrees with you can be charged with same.
    It’s what philosophers call proving too much because if it explains everything it then explains nothing. Again if my personal opinion
    doesn’t mean anything, then why does YOURS ????
    Once you universalize the proposition it again
    falls to pieces. Why even comment on it if it is
    so beneath you ? Damn right I detest the black
    lumpen mo-fo culture and hope more responsible
    blacks like Bill Cosby speak out against it.
    It has had horrible consequences for the black
    community as a whole. Berkeley white trash old
    lefties like some Judges amd others I could name
    do the black community no favors by pandering
    to the lowest common denominator element.
    Slavery, get over it ! It was abolished here 150
    years ago, it STILL exists in your beautiful
    Black Africa in Mauritania and other places.
    Blacks sold OTHER blacks into slavery. How long
    are you going to use that excuse crutch ???? 
    The whole concept of equality and level playing
    fields is a myth and a fraud, whether on an
    individual or group level. How am I equal to
    the Rockefellers or Kennedys ? Only in a VERY
    narrow legal sense does equality have any meaning
    and even there if you have funds to hire a better
    attorney you get better representation, that is
    just objective reality.
    I’m mystified as to what else you think we should
    do legislatively with the State alreading dictating to us in all private businesses, hiring,
    whom you can serve, whom you can sell your house
    to, etc.
    I do know a bit about Irish history and the English land grabs but it wasn’t the topic soI didn’t expound on it. White people in Europe lived
    in serfdom for hundreds of years too. Not to
    mention even worse for a thousand years of the
    Dark Ages.
    I am totally opposed to the drug wars, mandatory
    minimums, gun control laws, disparate crack v.
    cocaine sentencing (I oppose the drug laws period). I believe the law should stay out of
    gambling, prostitution, licensing taxis and
    other activities that limit people from voluntary
    interchanges (I’m not saying I think the above
    activities are good things but people have personal rights). I’m opposed to corporate welfare
    and urban renewal, zoning, planning laws are probably racist in effect if not in intent.
    I never implied all leftists or all Jews were
    anti-racist, I was just giving some personal bio.
    Glad you did work at some Jewish institutions,
    damn few blacks do, it’s much more the case of
    Jews supporting black causes (even to some extent
    today).
    I sympathize with your predicament as a lace curtain black having to deal with shanty Irish
    but you survived it, right ?
    Okay, thanks for writing. You are much more
    intelligent than these knuckleheads I’ve wasted
    my times having exchanges with.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Aug 31, 2004 at 12:36 PM

    I wanted to add something to your comments about
    the US Govt’s (Cold War) motives for advocating
    civil rights. I think it was one of many travesties done under the color of law and fighting Communism that worked to decrease freedom
    over here. The state segregation laws should have
    been declared unconstitutional from the get-go, I
    assume we agree here. But this could have been
    done without any push for forced integration,
    excepting only government owned buildings which
    are subsidized by all the taxpayers and should
    not be able to discriminate, so the local or states rights argument never appealed to me.
    The Irish are white so naturally they would
    identify easier with other whites than blacks,
    particularly in a conflict situation. But the
    idea that they stole jobs from blacks is ludicrous, at the time they came over blacks
    overwhelmningly lived on farmlands in the south
    and the Irish were mostly going to big cities,
    my family on my Mother’s side, Malloy, was unusual in going to West Virginia.
    Nor was the great industrial wealth of the USA
    created by slave labor, which by its nature,
    is inherently unproductive and inefficient,
    outside of its basic immorality. The South lost
    the war precisely because slave labor couldn’t
    compete with free labor. The US Govt itself
    outlawed the slave trade in 1803, we were only
    in existence as a government since 1776, so your talking a generation here, not 300 or 400 years
    of US govt responsibility since the US Govt did
    not exist (we could argue it didn’t exist until
    the Articles of Confederation were overthrown
    by the Constututional Coup in Philadelphia).
    Even today not all blacks are treated unfairly
    so you can’t make the broad collective guilt
    judgments that you do with semblance of fact.
    That the USA is a class society is true and class
    is a much greater taboo than race in American
    culture and society.
    If reparations are due then they would be due
    from your fellow blacks in Africa (real brothers,
    eh ?) and the Arabs too. Then if we deduct the
    real cost of African American crime and welfare,
    it becomes more problematic yet. We might be talking about bills, not checks.

    Just to change the subject, is everyone as blown
    away by Bush’s inadvertent truth that the so-called war on terrorism is unwinnable as I am ?
    For once Bush told a truth and now a day later
    he’s forced to retract it !
    Of course, that buffoon Kerry pipes up that the
    war is winnable !!!! Once again Horseface is
    covering Bush’s Right flank. Only Lieberman would
    have been worse as a candidate than this jerk.
    Hell, Sharpton has more appeal.
    Paul Craig Roberts, a very conservative-libertarian economist, wrote in Antiwar.com
    yesterday that Bush’s reelection means a Nazi
    Police State here at home and war with the rest
    of the world.
    When are we going to get an INTELLIGENT Left alternative over here ?

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Aug 31, 2004 at 3:02 PM

    One other point to Ingrid, the very widespread
    complaint about affirmative action is that it is precisely the incompetents that are being rewarded
    due to race quotas or whatever the current euphemism is. So we agree here that the competent
    ought to be rewarded over the less competent but
    it’s precisely the programs that you have advocated that are causing this horrible situation
    of people advancing on their race, rather than
    merit. I know of some professional blacks who resent affirmative action because it is assumed
    by everyone that they got their positions due to
    same. It’s a minority view in the black but it exists.

    Left out the word “community” in above posting
    in the last sentence.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Aug 31, 2004 at 3:10 PM

    Some further, maybe final thoughts here.
    I think it’s a mistake to premise the discussion
    on what are basically globalist metaphysical issues such as claims that all blacks have been
    persecuted for 400 years, all Jews for 6,000 years, all whites are superior products of western
    civilization,etc., ad nausem. It’s simply a non-starter, better to start from inductive empirical
    observation and then come to modest, manageable
    general conclusions. And those conclusions can
    always be revised in the light of new evidence.
    Real history by its nature is revisionist, always
    being revised in light of either new empirical
    evidence or new theories obtained by rational analysis.

    You get the reactions you get from me because you are an asshole. It is nothing more elegant than that. I am sure you think the same of me. My behavior hasn’t been any better than yours.

    Funny, but Nathaniel Branden, Murray Rothbard, Ayn Rand, the folks at Lew Rockwell and Second Renaissance Books, among others - can all be considered “intellectuals” - yet I don’t see any of them as a threat. Nor do I percieve you as a threat in any way, shape or form; I don’t give a rip what you believe about it. If you’re such an “intellectual”, Michael, I have yet to see one of your own contributions, aside from the Randian rehash, condemnation, and insults you throw all over the place. She taught you well - you sound just like her - and worse. How about a link to one of your own completed projects? An Email with one of your own completed projects attached? How about you just post one of them here on the message board? I would love to read it. There is nothing wrong with borrowing the ideas of others, especially in your case - it certainly sounds like you’ve spent enough on books. But reading books isn’t everything - not even close. Thought and Action go together - you can’t have one without the other. If you want to lose weight, reading the book on the diet & exercise program you have chosen is a good thing, but now you have to get off your fat ass and actually do the program. I’ve seen what you’ve read - now show me what you have done about it. If you really wish to be convincing, show me.

    Ingrid,

    If you wish to continue the dialogue, please write
    here and I’ll respond. There may be some other
    websites where we could exchange views.
    As a matter of principle I decided to only respond
    to postings with cognitive content and ignore the
    psychotic ramblings of the mentally diseased, the
    police provocateurs doing Bush’s dirty work, etc.
    I think it is worthwhile to converse with my fellow intellectuals, my fellow philosophers,
    my fellow creators and fellow geniuses. Like
    you I have to insist that any debaters be at least in the three digit IQ range.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 1, 2004 at 1:21 PM

    I also insist that any debaters be literate, know
    basic rules of english and how to punctuate, when
    to use capital letters, be civil, intelligent
    and know basic rules of Aristotelian logic,
    what constitutes an argument and what is an
    invalid ad hominem attack. Like you, Ingrid, I
    insist on only associating with my higher class
    of people and not foul smelling gutter riffraff
    whose intellects are low & whose smegna odor is
    high. We intellectuals are the real longrange
    rulers of the world of ideas, which ultimately
    means the world itself. We should not contaminate
    our most valuable selves by associating with or
    responding to what Nietzsche called the untermenschen.
    Anyway, thanks for the intellectual intercourse.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 1, 2004 at 1:30 PM

    Query to fellow East Bay residents: does anyone
    know of any alternative online or print letters
    that deal with local politics in Oakland and/or
    Berkeley. The Oaklandnews.com ceased as a regular
    online publication with the unexpected demise of
    Jeannette Sherwin in January. Jeannette weighed
    about 400 pounds and very foolishly opted for a
    dangerous bypass operation at Kaiser in Richmond,
    which procedure my wife warned her against. Nina
    is a medical writer. Jeannette could be very
    stupid at times and went off on emotional tangents
    such as total support of the Democratic Party and
    endorsing Harry Edwards’ suggestion that all black
    youth be put in concentration camps for the good
    of the rest of us. She had been a victim of crime
    as so many of us are and understandably had some
    passionate feelings on the subject, what she
    referred to as Oakland’s black plague.
    Some of us involved in independent progressive
    politics tried to keep her on the principled anti-
    racist path but it wasn’t easy and she would not
    countenance any dealings with Greens or people outside the Democratic Party. But she was good
    on City Hall exposes and that’s badly needed
    with people like Ignacio and Perata running dirty
    back room deals. So any suggestions here are most
    welcome. I personally would prefer a more Left
    operation than Jeannette ran at Oaklandnews,
    which was too centrist for many of us.
    BUT NO PC TYPES PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Will respond to thoughtful comments here.

    not getting a lot of responses to your “intellectual exchange of ideas” now, are you poor picked-on Michael?

    nobody wants to debate with a pompous ass and liar like you, someone who believes his own lies.

    and why would anybody want to debate with you when i’ve proven you have a history of name-calling, racial slurs, lying, and throwing tantrums when somebody doesn’t cater to your bullshit about books you’ve read. this is how you debate? you would have lost at my college.

    so the bitter old troll searches for forums where he can vent his angrer at the black community over something he probably started, probably magnified with his condescending, irritating, and just mean ways.

    is this why you’re just a “free-lance writer”? is it because no one can stomach you for more than one forum?

    go ahead and type your little “z’s”. I’ll just take it to mean you’re in total agreement with my statements.

    Just wanted to thank the three people from this thread who have contacted me about continuing our
    dialogue on another site. I think we will all be
    better off exchanging our ideas and not having
    to deal with psychotics who are reduced to sputtering schizoid rants. The best thing to do
    is to ignore them and treat them with the utter
    contempt they deserve as total nonpersons.
    Again, thanks to ITT for maintaining this site
    despite its abuse by morons. These “people”
    are what Ayn called ballast.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 1, 2004 at 3:40 PM

    One lesson I have learned is that you don’t deal
    with untermensch (undermen)at all. My wife, who
    is very liberal (or was) made the mistake of thinking that you can reason with what Jeannette
    referred to as the “mud people.” The folks at
    the wrong end of the Bell Curve. I had warned
    her that these “people” are not human and at
    least 10 trillion years behind us on the evolutionary scale, well, she found out the
    hard way. I salute the three people who have
    agreed to carry on our intellectual, philosophical dialogue despite our disagreements.
    We can ignore the so-called “masses”, the riffraff of the Oakland jungle. As Ayn wrote,
    a long line of zeros is still just A zero in
    the end.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 1, 2004 at 3:47 PM

    yep, total agreement.

    see. a racist and an admitted one at that.

    United States Posted by stan on Sep 1, 2004 at 3:50 PM

    In response to a number of requests I will periodically update my recommended reading
    list for progressives, I appreciate the many
    kind comments I have received, I have alerted
    many people to the ITT website here and I haven’t
    so much fun since I totally kicked ass on the
    Nathaniel Branden website. Ted and another cretin whom I demolished later took their own lives, which was a decent thing for them to do.
    We all benefit from an increase of the intelligent
    among us and a decrease of the unfit untermensch.

    FYI to Linda, two of the freelancers at a local
    alternative paper here are coming out with a new
    book titled Oakland:The Negro Jungle. It promises
    to be an eye-opener !
    By the way both Negro and Colored are now considered PC. The riffraff in the lumpen ghetto
    regularly use the other N word but we should
    not get down to their level.
    As Michael Savage noted the lower the wearing
    of the pants the lower the IQ.
    One of the elderly Negro posters on this thread
    actually has his pants down to his ankles,
    which is particularly disgusting because of
    his evident lack of behind hygiene. Not to
    mention there’s not much to see either.
    Oh well, upward and onward.
    Cheers ! Friends.

    more dilusional comments from Hardesty.

    nowhere on this forum is anyone asking him for more reading. nor has he had any kind comments since I’ve exposed him for the racist and hateful name-calling fraud that his is. just look at the above comment. jeanette was spot on when she said he had gone off the deep end.

    and no, “Negro” is not PC, you lying, hateful racist asshole.

    continue to be a lunatic raving in Oakland and typing your little z’s.

    it’s hilarious how you can’t defend yourself because I have proven you use racial slurs, bully people, and have been banned from other forums.

    do we need people like Hardesty making decisions? no. and thankfully all the little doggy does is bark and not bite. the only party he could ever run for office in in are the Libertarians and nobody takes them seriously anyway. and as far as being published, if you count forums and letters to the editors, I suppose.

    Leave it to the thinkers?
    RobertSteele left, not to mention the dozens of other names that have disapeared from this board.

    You may not be aware, but have you the same responses every time someone disagrees with you.
    “psychobabble” or “word salad”
    Please read what you write. It’s sometimes has no logical connections and is quite boring.

    And if you think you don’t have a cultish mentality at times, then your more delusional then most. Of coarse you wouldn’t answer those question, because it defeats your own self-image in front of others, which you are trying to build up. But be not afraid, your image is taken in by them no matter what. They have all judged you, and your reality is what you have. The reality is your a bitter man, and you can’t deny that.

    As for not presenting myself to you, why should I? Because thats what you think is “good”? Maybe if I just follow along and praise you like god, you’ll like me. Or maybe I should look at you realistically, in which I did in my former post, if you read it correctly. You asserted your thoughts with out any facts to back it up. Do you expect people to blindly follow you or know your right?

    Just answer the questions I wrote in my former post. They aren’t saying you are, but there asking are you. I’m sure you can answer them if you have no feelings of guilt. Unless you wish to evade it.

    The fact I took your comments out of your paragraphs, doesn’t mean they were any less moralistic or self-indulged. My point remains, and was well proven in your response. Thanks.

    he adds later:
    This message board was full of expressive and highly thoughtful people, before you steped in here. You disturbed the peace with your cultish mentality, and you haven’t grasped what a cultish mentality is in your thirdy plus years of Objectivism. Objectivism isn’t a closed system, as is the same with every human being. Your use of broad generalizations over actions, that you yourself commit, is so distasteful that I wonder why a 59-60 year old man like yourself hasn’t slapped his own wrist and thought it over.

    these people so HATED you, were so disgusted with you they left in droves. they formed their own discussion group on Yahoo that you couldn’t infect.

    well guess what? you’re not going to fuck up this forum as you have so many, many more.

    piss off, asshole.

    Michael Hardesty has given me permission to use
    his space here for the purposes of making a full
    apology. My real name is not Stan, I have been
    a paid informer for AIPAC, ADL and the OPD as
    well as various federal agencies for many years.
    I actually helped the cops entrap and kill Black
    Panthers over thirty years ago. What my assignment
    is is to troll on various boards on the web and
    as soon as any criticism of Israel comes up I’m
    to make nonstop ad hominem attacks as well as any intelligent Left criticism of identity politics
    (special pandering to black racism and sociopathology that has so crippled the Left
    in the minds of middle America). What I do is
    extract selected bits of postings, always leave
    out the full context and rebuttals then use an
    ad hominem attack with a lot of heated overkill
    rhetoric and profanity to attempt to smear the
    person I have been ASSIGNED to target. This is
    the fourth time I have tried and failed to smear Michael Hardesty. You know I am desperate when I
    have to use the ravings of ultra-Right Randroid
    psychotics, whom Hardesty totally destroyed in
    debate, in a futile attempt to smear him.
    I knew Jeannette and she despised me as unfit.
    I wrote under six different pseudonyms for her
    pathetic oaklandnews and she banned me under
    four of them, of course she was a nut and she
    always banned anyone she disagreed with. I have
    called Hardesty everything I am, a coward, a bully,a liar, nonintellectual, ad nauseum.
    I, “Stan”, ask you to please ignore every
    libelous posting I have done against Michael
    Hardesty under both my name and under Windowpane
    Dexter (among others). I have been let go by
    the COINTELPRO program and they have another
    “Stan” another police provocateur stooge, just
    ignore him (or her).

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 2, 2004 at 7:35 AM

    I fully accept Stan’s apology and also want to
    thank the over fifty people who have contacted me to specifically congragulate me on my courageous
    and totally accurate comments on the untouchable
    subject of criminal lumpen black sociopathology
    in Oakland-Berkeley and the rest of urban America.
    Many intelligent negroes appreciate what I have
    to say. Also many of you have now accessed the
    half dozen articles and book reviews that I have
    done for Z Magazine in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1999
    and 2000 as well as my piece on the Pacifica
    Foundation (KPFA) for The WAshington Post in their
    prestigious Sunday Editorial Outlook Section in
    late October, 1993 (1 1/2 million circulation)
    as well as my published stories and book reviews

    Post # 212 was by Stan. I gave him permission to
    post in my space since he was doing a full apology.
    Whatever Stan’s actual name is, I do accept his
    full, unconditional apology. I think we need
    to acknowledge when our enemies fess up.
    The political provocateur is the lowest of all
    animals and we need to rebut them thoroughly as
    I have done and THEN PERMANENTLY IGNORE THEM.
    They can’t take the fact of their utter insignificance and I have great pity for them
    and for all the “Stans” of the world.
    Little men with tiny brains and tinier penises.

    Stopped on the website to investigate, and while there are some good posts and good information, it is obvious to me, you have a maniac within your midst in Johnson-Hardesty. And now in visiting your website, I see that there is a raving lunatic amongst the participants, and this person is allowed free reign to post, and say anything he wants, most of it of a vile and slanderous nature. Well, I don’t have to have a psychology degree to know this is unacceptable behavior. Would you allow someone to enter your house and defile it? Would you allow someone who was physically sick and contagious to threaten your health and security by entering your house?

    no one likes or respects a bully, especially one so insane as to believe his own lies and constantly repeat the same, tired diatribe of articles he’s supposedly written, books he’s supposedly read and how no one measures up to you because they haven’t been in the ‘horrible racial situation’ you’ve been in either. oh, boo-fucking-hoo.

    Every sentence of Miller’s was an out and out lie.

    Posting # 224 above was posted by Stan, with
    my permission.

    United States Posted by Michael Hardesty on Sep 2, 2004 at 9:14 AM

    I think the postings from the former Nathaniel Branden website by the police provocateur are amusing because even in the out-of-context manner in which he transmits the postings anyone can see that I get the better of every argument. Many of the people on the former Branden site were either psych patients of his or ex-Randroid groupies trying to come to grips with their cult worship. almost all were pro-war and pro-Bush, your basic rightwing neocon nuts. Now the police provocateur
    posting under the alias of “Stan” quotes these nuts, all of whom I utterly demolish intellectually, as if they were some kind of “authorities.”
    What gives ? Then “Stan” quotes the centrist-racist Jeannette Sherwin again as an “authority”
    even though on most issues I was well to the Left
    of her and we always fought over her Deomcratic Party hackhoodness. Again “Stan” pretends to be
    some kind of leftie allegedly outraged by my
    nonexistent racism and yet he uses ultra-rightwing
    and racist centrist sources to (unsuccessfully)
    attempt to smear me.
    Oh by the way, I have known Chomsky for 20 years
    and have worked in professional corporate finance
    management for 35 years. I’ve never had to seek
    employment as a police agent, unlike “Stan.”
    Ignore this pathetic putz, he can’t take it !

    Judge Julie Conger is unfit to serve
    A few years back, my partner and I bought a house near Highland Hospital. We started experiencing garbage dumped on our property, the same type every day. We finally caught someone in the act, but the person had no remorse. Our complaints to the OPD and DA’s office fell on deaf ears. We attempted to get a TRO but were unsuccessful, even though the harassment had escalated to serious property damage against my partner’s automobile. My partner complained to the live-in landlord of the offending tenant. After she had complained three or four times over that many months, the landlord got a TRO against my partner, which [Judge Julie] Conger then upheld for the maximum three years. The “witnesses” consisted of the person who for two years had dumped garbage on our property as well as other crimes, the then live-in girlfriend of the landlord whom my partner spoke to for a few seconds on one occasion, a former neighbor of ours from TWO YEARS EARLIER who had to be told by the OPD to not let her dog bark all night, and two personal friends of the landlord who were involved in the car repair business that he conducted out of his home.

    We never got a chance to present rebuttal testimony. Conger promised she would hear that at a later date, but she never did. My partner has had to spend thousands of dollars appealing this to appellate courts. Judge Julie Conger is unfit to be on any bench or governmental body. She issues injunctions like water mainly to promote her own ideological agenda, which is white self-hate and gun control for noncriminals.

    JC - or should I call you Cooter, you NEED to get an education, preferably at university. By all of today’s standards you are VERY racist and quite offensive, but then thats your point. You want some attention, ahhh! By the way, its spelled ZIMBABWE. Read about the history of Africa and get back to us.
    Ingrid- You make many fair points but it is difficult to have an open debate when there is such cold hatred and ignorance out there. There are many double standards in Amerikkka, especially with Jewish-Americans who will cry anti-semitism at the drop of a hat!

    “Deep self-hatred and insecurity amongst Whites causes constant focus of Defeciencies amonsgt Blacks.” Whites who constantly think about, write about, comment about Black People are a very sad lot. Why they are so fascinated with Black people is an age old question. I can not even imagine actually chatting online about someone wearing drooping pants because they have a low IQ. New York Fashion designers are going all the way to the bank with droopy pants and you are wasting your valuable time. Look at yourself in the mirror, look into your eyes and ask “How sad I am to stoop so low in my life” sing Amazing Grace 10 times and ask God to give you the strength to be a human being and make a real difference in this world. I reach my hand and my heart out to you, you poor guy.

    And the answer is? This is our problem. It takes just a few words to cause us to get off track.  Lets truly identify the problem and work toward solving it.  Yes, there’s blame to be placed, but where has all this discuss gotten us. Is there anything we can agree on?  I think there is: lets identify what causes our blacks to get in prison in the first place, determine ways to help our communities and implement.  Lets stop talking.  Now, this is a conversation we can have.
    Solution focused,
