His gripe? The paper’s stylebook. Let Goldberg describe his concern: <br /><br />The national media doesn’t do stories on black-on-black crime. . . . They don’t do stories on black-on-white crime. . . . The New York Times, in almost a caricature of a liberal media, refers to George Zimmerman as a ‘white Hispanic.’ I guarantee you that if George Zimmerman did something good — if he finished first in his high school graduating class when he was younger — they wouldn’t refer to him as a white Hispanic, he’d just be a Hispanic. . . . He’s only a ‘white Hispanic’ because they need the word ‘white’ to further the story line, which is, White, probably racist vigilante shoots an unarmed black kid."<br /><br />Erik Wemple, Washington Post, 28/3/2012SDGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-77233307633940652262012-04-19T13:48:04.790+01:002012-04-19T13:48:04.790+01:00I am hoping I can be help.

In Norwegian, the words Grunnveld Mark mean 'shallow or soiled ground' and is being an expression which apply now a lot to the global warming debatings. Your name might be a shoretenered version. If you are adding it to 'Scott', your name could be translated as 'Why is it always being me on shallow, soily ground?'. I have made much studyings in this region.Torsten Vorstennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-311709605344605062012-04-19T12:10:24.601+01:002012-04-19T12:10:24.601+01:00Many believe that the genesis of "The Human S...Many believe that the genesis of "The Human Stain" was the 1999 case of David Howard, a Washington mayoral aide, who was forced to resign when black opponents objected to his use of the word "niggardly" to describe budget cuts. As Howard was a homosexual, the "gay community" kicked up a stink and he was offered his job back (he turned it down, but accepted another post). Which provided an interesting example of both rampant stupidity and how the Hierarchy of Victimhood works.<br /><br />Interestingly, the American liberal left used to call themselves Progressives back in the 1910s and 1920s, then eventually switched to Liberals when Progressivism proved to be a crock, and now that that Liberalism has proved to be a crock, they calling themselves Progressives once more. Which all strikes me as a seemingly endless exercise in turd-polishing. <br /><br />The liberal media in the US has apparently decided to refer to George Zimmerman as a White Hispanic (er.... I didn't realise Hispanics werent white - I mean, aren't King Juan Carlos and Rafael Nadal white?), but there seems to be confusion as to whether his father was Jewish or not. I think we should just be thankful that his name wasn't Robert Zimmerman, or the racism industry would be demanding a blanket ban on Bob Dylan's music - and the liberal left would find themselves in a terrible quandary!<br /><br />My name is of Swahili origin and means "why always me?". But I have no idea what "Grønmark" means.Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-4930432672308370902012-04-12T19:39:43.133+01:002012-04-12T19:39:43.133+01:00Comment is fraught with danger. The Race Relation ...Comment is fraught with danger. The Race Relation boys have it all sown up. No matter what you say in defence is going to be wrong. In Germany, it used to be called "Gleichshaltung" '- look it up - the explanation is too long. Quick points:<br />1. In April 2011 two young white Britons were murdered in Sarasota, Fla, for wandering into a black area [James Kluzaris and James Coper]. Their killer, a 17-year old black thug called Shaun Tyson, was jailed for life last month. It was hardly reported on either side of the Atlantic.<br /><br />2. We have had this endless Stephen Lawrence enquiry here. The Americans are about to stage a re-run and the media will have a field day and the usual cast of characters will be able to mouth off [as you say, Sharpton etc].<br /><br />3. I recommend a novel by Philip Roth called "The Human Stain". Beware the expressions "spook" or "spookey" in your daily discourse. There is a whole bunch of aggrieved people out there waiting for you. And they have the law on their side. And a whole political movement called the Liberal-Left [ the "Appeasers" of the 1930s and how many lives did these bastards cost?] It is scary when you compare a photograph of Anders Behring Breivik with that of Simon Hughes.<br /><br />4. To end on an up-beat note. Is George Zimmerman related to Bob Dylan? The world is suddenly full of people with inappropriate names. Mario Ballotelli, for example.You have a strange foreign name.

Foreigners of every race, ethnicity, and religion know this. Most Americans suspect this. Most black Americans and the entire Left deny this.<br /><br />Black Africans know this. That is why so many seek to live in the United States. Decades ago, the number of black Africans who had immigrated to the United States had already surpassed the number of black Africans who were forcibly shipped to America as slaves.<br /><br />Members of other races and nationalities know this. Even Muslim and Arab writers have noted that nowhere in the Arab or larger Muslim world does an Arab or any other Muslim have the individual rights, liberty, and dignity that a Muslim living in America has. As for Latinos and Asians, vast numbers of them from El Salvador to Korea regard America as the land of opportunity."<br /><br />The whole article can be found at: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/295611/still-least-racist-country-world-dennis-pragerScott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.com
