Race Industry on War Path

By Ron Brault   

If what Don Imus said about the Rutger University girl's basketball team was so offensive then why was it repeated by the national media for a week or more? It wasn't stated on his regular shows, but on an internet website with a limited audience. Had the media kept quiet millions of blacks would not have been emotionally scared for life. Imus, basically a liberal, has been doing this sort of thing for 30 years and all of a sudden he is called on it. For some reason Imus had to go. Perhaps he is too critical of Hillary's' bid for the White House. The Clintons, the darlings of the left wing liberal media, do owe him payback for past public remarks.

    On the flip side, the race industry doesn't have a problem with ghetto gangster rap music, or Spike Lee movies which are grossly demeaning to black people. One rap piece uses the "N" word 50 times. It is shocking and puzzling why a race of people would allow themselves to be celebrated as cop killers, whore mongers, drug addicts and the de-humanization of their women by the ghetto rap culture. Where are the calls from the race industry to ban ghetto culture rap music from the airwaves and reel in the likes of Spike Lee? If it were white men in hoods performing this stuff there would me massive protest marches across America.
 

The question the race industry has difficulty answering is: Why is it okay for blacks to use the "N" word and demean themselves, but not okay for whitey? There are two answers, one is sheer BS, and the other is the truth. Whitey can't use the "N" word because he says it with hatred in his heart. Blacks can say the "N" word because there is no hatred in their heart toward other blacks. It's simply part of the black culture. That's the BS get off answer. The correct answer is that the race industry, which the national media is in part, is raking in the long green by marketing offensive and demeaning ghetto culture rap music. With millions of dollars at stake the race industry has given rap music a free pass.
    

Apparently, white folks like Don Imus have the power of the gods. All the rappers, and all the Spike Lee's have no ill affect on black society, yet one white boy uttering one careless sentence can destroy the future of the  black race! Who granted whitey this kind of power over blacks? It is race baitng buffoons like the Reverend Al Sharpton and the Reverend Jesse Jackson and the national media who elevate the white man to demi-god status by making a national event over a mis-spoken sentence. Straight thinking blacks realize this and are fed up with the antics of the justice brothers.  
    

What about young white breads who mimic the black ghetto culture? Rap music pounds from their Honda Civics, they speak fluent rap jive, and wear baggy pants around their ankles. It isn't the white culture that is teaching them to talk and behave this way. When we were growing up a hoe was a garden tool. It's past time for race hustlers like Sharpton and Jackson to place the blame where it belongs. They pay only lip service to ghetto rap because the same people that produce it also provide them with valuable airtime. You could say that Sharpton and Jackson are selling out their souls and their race for airtime. Bill Cosby stated words to the effect, and correctly so, that it isn't the Ku Klux Klan that is destroying black youth, but the ghetto culture itself.
  

 It's obvious that Imus was experiencing a moment of ghetto blackness when he called the girls basketball team "nappy headed ho's." There was no hatred intended. Sharpton and Jackson need to show some leadership and clean up the rap culture so us white mo fo's won't be taught or tempted to emulate it.


Saving our Rural Heritage

Today over half the world lives in urban as opposed to rural environments. I would like to save OUR Rural Environment here in the High Desert.

There was a decision made about our dirt roads that most people do not know about or had any chance to vote on. For many years our dirt roads were deemed to be “private property” as far as the vehicle code was concerned, so it did not apply to these roads. 

This changed recently  when the San Bernardino County Council made a ruling that now these are county maintained roads, and therefore the vehicle code does apply.

Our dirt roads are Not Part Of The County Maintained Road System.

I urge you to write to County Counsel to reverse there decision on our dirt roads to avoid taking property owners private access and property rights away unjustly.

Help yourself save our rural environment and write that letter today.

Cooks from the Valley deliver hospitality to Marines

BAKERSFIELD - A group of Bakersfield volunteers called the Cooks from the Valley traveled hundreds of miles to deliver some home-cooked Bakersfield hospitality to marines in Twentynine Palms Marine Base.

It's a battlefield in the mess halls of Twentynine Palms Marine Corp Combat Center. The mission is to feed 11,000 hungry marines, and the weapons are forks, tongs, and slabs of prime Harris Ranch steak. more


The end of the world as we know it

Here's a simple rule of history: Doomsayers are wrong. Always have been, always will be, at least until the sun becomes a red giant, swallowing up our planet. If you peddle doom and gloom predictions, whether from a religious or pseudo-scientific point of view, you have history 100%, totally, against you. link

Peace in our time

It was a great weekend for 29

With the 33rd annual 29 Palms Grand Prix now over for another year, we would like to just say, WOW. It was a great weekend in Twentynine Palms for the Motor sports Crowd. Two full days of some of the best Motocross racing in the country. We would like to thank the Hill Toppers, The Chamber of Commerce, Brain Hoffman and the hundreds of volunteers that made this week possible.

This is what a tourist event should be. Motels filled, restaurants busy. For 11 straight years, 10s of thousands of people travel to 29 palms. 10s of Millions in dollars in recreational vehicles travel to 29 Palms to spend one weekend a year with us. These are good folks that come here with their families for a wholesome and full weekend of outdoor fun and competitive activities.

It is time we seriously consider the fact that we have the best terrain in the country for motor sports. We should be attracting more events like this. This is the tourist hook that is missing with most other ideas presented. Its time we give it a serious thought.
