“Get over it”
Thu 26 Nov 2009 by abagond “Get over it” is something White Americans say when black people point out a case of white racism that is hard to deny, like that picture of watermelons growing in front of the White House. The phrase means that blacks should not get too hung up on racism, that thinking about it too much will only make things worse. It also means this: shut up and stop being such a crybaby. One commenter advised me: Get over it abagond, stop whining about racism and move to Africa, yep, make a contribution to the motherland. When whites complain about reverse racism or affirmative action, I do not notice anyone telling them to “Get over it”. Instead their complaints are taken seriously. You know, like they truly matter. “Get over it” assumes that racism is pretty much over, that it is either dead and gone, ancient history, or at least no longer a big deal. “Get over it!” Blacks are either stuck in the past or making something out of nothing. “Get over it” assumes that whites are better judges of racism against blacks than blacks themselves! Because blacks are oversensitive, because they are like children who have it too easy and complain about every little thing. And, like children, blacks do not know what is in their own best interest – but white people do, despite their terrible record on that one. Unlike most racist arguments, this one admits that the case of racism in question is true – otherwise there would be nothing to get over. That is why it comes up so much in arguments about the White American practice of keeping black slaves: it is one of the few cases of racism that whites cannot deny. They know it was true and know that it was terrible. But they do not see – or want to see – that a society that could allow that to be done to people because of the colour of their skin could allow other bad things to be done to them – even now. Slave days, Jim Crow and all the rest are ancient history for whites because it does not seem to affect their present. But not for blacks – not because they are unreasonable children who do not know when to let go of the past, but because racism still affects their lives. Racism did not die on the day they freed the slaves. Racism did not die on the day they outlawed hanging a black man from a tree. Racism did not even die on the day a black man put his hand on the Bible and became president – in fact, it seems to have only made it worse since it was against the wishes of most white voters. Racism is dying, yes, but it still very much alive. When will blacks “get over it” and “move on”? When whites get over their racism and move on. They created it to excuse their crimes; they can also destroy it. http://abagond.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/get-over-it/ |

Muslims seek change in way Hollywood movies portray them
LOS ANGELES — After years of watching Muslims portrayed as terrorists in mainstream TV and movies, an advocacy group hopes to change that image by grooming a crop of aspiring Muslim screenwriters who can bring their stories—and perspective—to Hollywood. The Muslim Public Affairs Council is hosting a series of workshops taught by Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated veterans over the next month, an initiative that builds on the group’s outreach for a more representative picture of Muslim-Americans on the screen. The workshops are the natural evolution of MPAC’s efforts to lobby TV networks and movie studios from the outside, and they fit into a small, but growing, movement to get more Muslim-Americans behind the cameras. MPAC dubbed its effort the Hollywood Bureau, while Unity Productions Foundation recently started a similar project called Muslims on Screen and Television. Other nonprofit arts foundations, such as the Levantine Cultural Center and Film Independent, have joined forces by planning networking events for Muslim actors and training and mentoring young filmmakers. “The idea is to really give Muslims an avenue to tell our stories. It’s as simple as that. There’s a curiosity about Islam and a curiosity about who Muslims are—and a lot of the fear that we’re seeing comes from only hearing one story or these constant negative stories,” said Deana Nassar, MPAC’s Hollywood liaison. At the council’s first screenwriting workshop, three dozen attendees packed into a classroom in downtown Los Angeles to hear Emmy-winning comedy writer Ed Driscoll give tips of the trade, from knowing the audience to making a script outline. The students reflected a diversity not often seen in Hollywood’s portrayal of Muslim-Americans, from a black woman who grew up in Mississippi to a stay-at-home mom to a defense attorney who dabbles in screenwriting on the side. Khadijah Rashid, 33, said before class that her Hollywood experience included working behind the scenes on everything from reality TV to the award-winning biopic “Ray.” But Rashid said she had always felt her own story—growing up Muslim in the Deep South—was the tale she most wanted to tell. She recalled being teased as a child for her unusual last name and choking down chunks of dry cheese for lunch when the school cafeteria served pork, a forbidden food in Islam. “I don’t think it’s much drama, but it’s my own personal drama,” said Rashid, now a single mother living in Pasadena. “I definitely want to tell my story, but I need to learn how. If I get the tools, I’ll just pour it out.” With any luck, Hollywood will listen. The industry has taken more interest in telling authentic Muslim stories in recent years, said Ahmos Hassan, a Muslim-American talent manager who has been in the business for more than two decades. “There’s a demand for Muslim stories, but whether it’s Muslim writers or not depends on the talent they bring to the table,” Hassan, who owns Chariot Management, said during a break in the class. “They need to bring that to the industry ... and I think the industry is open to it now, more so than any time before.” MPAC has had some success working with writers and producers from the outside. Its Hollywood Bureau was founded after Sept 11, 2001, with a simple strategy: to make sure the portrayal of Islam on TV screens was accurate, even if it was negative. Since then, the organization has consulted on a parade of hit TV shows, including “24,” “Bones,” “Lie to Me,” “7th Heaven,” “Saving Grace” and “Aliens in America.” The group also has held meetings with top network executives from ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, and throws a Muslim-inspired version of a Hollywood awards show each year for productions, both mainstream and independent, that advance understanding of Islam. In 2009, winners included “Slumdog Millionaire” and “The Simpsons,” for an episode that featured Bart befriending a Muslim boy named Bashir. The goal is not to spoon-feed Hollywood Muslim-friendly story lines, but to increase awareness of the diversity of American Muslims and to be a resource for writers and producers, Nassar said. “There’s only a small, small number of people who are trying to drive a negative agenda. Most of the time it’s innocent oversight, and they’re very happy to get our take on what they’re doing, to get our feedback,” said Nassar, who also attended the workshop and is an entertainment lawyer by training. That feedback has been an eye-opener and a challenge for some in the industry, where the Muslim-as-terrorist plot line has been an accepted story for years. “When you’re sitting in the writer’s room, and you’ve got to come up with a plot line and you’ve got to come up with a bad guy, it’s really easy to pull that out and say, `OK, Muslim terrorist,’” said T.S. Cook, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter who will teach two of the four sessions. “It’s a lazy man’s way to villainy—and it’s pretty ingrained.” Writer Roger Wolfsen, who worked on the TNT drama “Saving Grace,” said MPAC consultants were invaluable when he was assigned to write a script for an episode that featured a black death-row inmate who was converting to Islam. In the plot, the inmate Leon had a personal angel, Earl, who had been guiding him. Wolfsen’s challenge was to show Leon’s conversion and decide if his angel would change in appearance—or if he would continue to exist for Leon at all. MPAC’s consultants urged Wolfsen to resist making Leon’s character a militant, angry black man and instead suggested that he focus on the beauty and mystery of the moment of conversion. The collaboration paid off, he said. “Everything was my idea, but I didn’t know a single detail. I didn’t know how you convert; I didn’t know what it means; I didn’t know what an Islamic angel would say, how an Islamic angel would behave,” Wolfsen recalled in a phone interview. In the end, Wolfsen showed Leon reciting the Islamic declaration of faith in his prison cell as his angel watches. When Leon opens his eyes, the angel is still there and greets him with a simple “Us salaamu alaykum,” or “Peace be upon you” in Arabic. The episode was one of the high points of Wolfsen’s career. “With every writer, you’re always looking for new ways to provide freshness to your characters in abbreviated fashion,” Wolfsen said. “You can do that, sometimes, by making somebody a believable Muslim.” http://www.japantoday.com/category/entertainment-arts/view/muslims-seek-change-in-way-hollywood-movies-portray-them |

Michele Malkin a profile of a sell out racist who joined white supremacist movements
http://www.onepeoplesproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=129:michelle-malkin&catid=13:m&Itemid=3 Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Before the revamping of the site in 2009, this woman had by far the most hits of all of our Rogue's Gallery profiles, some of which we believe was something that was due in part to her pushing people to check this out (see the box at the end of this entry as to why), because while she is pretty well known among political circles, she is not exactly a household name. She is working on it though, but of course, all this noteriety will also make her a laughing stock as well. The jokes should start coming soon enough, because as you can see from her picture, she is not exactly someone who one would think would have articles appearing in VDARE, a anti-immigration, white nationalist website. Yes, she actually has that kind of dirt on her. It never ceases to amaze us how many times we keep running into these idiots of color who want to pretend that they can be just as racist towards everyone as their white racist comrades, but we hope they are not stupid enough to think that we will extend any kind of respect to them. A nationally known journalist, Michelle Malkin has appeared on national news programs like NBC Nightly News, The Lehrer Report, The McLaughlin Group, 20/20, and Faux News. Born in Philadelphia, PA, she is the daughter of Filipino immigrants that were in her words, "rock-ribbed Reagan Republicans." In 1992, she graduated from Oberlin College in Ohio (which was once an underground railroad location), and is currently living in Colorado with her white, Jewish husband Jesse and two children in an upper middle class suburban neighborhood. We make this point because she has written many articles and commentaries on minority issues in America - none of them favorable to minorities or their presence in America. Can you say, "confused?" It gets better. Oberlin College, known for its progressive campus, was where she decided to be politically active - but it seems like it was as a form of rebellion. Apparently it was all that concern for people of color rising up and being a intergral part of this society that made her mad, as this excerpt from a C-SPAN transcript shows: MALKIN: Well, I was editor of my high school newspaper, but not really politically energized yet. That happened at Oberlin. And that's where I first really encountered the vicious response you can get when you stand up to a political orthodoxy. It's an extremely liberal campus. And even if -- even if you tread very lightly on political sacred cows, there was a huge negative response, especially from somebody who was a minority, standing up and saying, Well, all these self-appointed minority groups in campus don't speak for me. And I think that's a theme that I've carried throughout my journalism career, and it's certainly something that's central to this book because I talk about -- in a section of the book, I talk about hate crime howlers, and these are a number of these ethnic grievance groups and pro-illegal-alien lobbying groups who -- you know, who claim to speak for all minorities and immigrants and their families in this country, with an agenda of keeping our borders as loose and open as possible. And I certainly don't believe in that, and I know there are so many naturalized Americans and their families who embrace the rule of law, and that includes immigration laws. And we don't accept that we ought to maintain a state of immigration anarchy in a post-September 11 world. And somebody needs to stand up to all of those groups and say, No, this is not right. It's not right, first of all, to invite so many millions of illegal line-jumpers into the country ahead of all the millions of people around the world who are waiting to do it the right way. That's just a matter of fairness. But also, it's now, more than ever, a matter of life and death. You cannot have open borders and win a war on terror at the same time. It's incompatible. BRIAN LAMB: Were you controversial at Oberlin because of your stance? MALKIN: Well, I really just came into being as a political journalist towards the end of my campus experience, and it was really after I had left and come to D.C. and started, you know, writing on my own and -- I mean, it was really more social conservatism than economic conservatism that I started with my -- with my column-writing. So no, I would say I was not, you know, a huge lightning rod until the -- you know, the end of my career -- I mean, end of my tenure at Oberlin. Okay, having an adversity towards racial hustlers, fine. Hooking up with white racial hustlers and adopting their viewpoints does not exactly solve the problem though. Read her writings and viewpoints, and take a look at the organizations she affiliates with, and you will see a racist who literally trashes on every non-white race in America. The type of news and political organizations she works for are typically extreme right-wing organizations who preach racism, xenophobia, and white superiority. Among the worst racist right-wing organizations she works for are the National Review, the aforementioned VDARE, and Townhall. In countless articles written for them, Michelle typically bashes and encourages racism against Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and especially immigrants. Her first major publication was a book she wrote, called Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists Criminals & Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores, first published in 2002. Attempting to copy Peter Brimelow's hateful bashing of immigrants when he wrote Alien Nation several years earlier, Malkin produces similar hate-mongering garbage against immigrants. Like Alien Nation, Malkin book Invasion is just another xenophobic, right-wing racist propaganda, filled with lies, bogus statistics, fallacies of logic, and references to right-wing racists and organizations. Being an immigrant basher, she naturally attempts to associate all immigrants to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, using illogical arguments to label all immigrants as terrorists and to justify ending immigration. Filled with more hateful diatribe, she concludes immigration must end, a wall must be built between America and Mexico, and border patrol must be increased. Being illogical and dimwitted, she trashes on every U.S. agency responsible for border patrol as incompetent, then she declares we must increase our border patrol by 50,000 - trained by the same agency she calls incompetent! A statement in the book summarizing her views on immigration, "It's time that we give immigrants to this country a swift kick to the seats of their pants and show them the exit door." Immigrant bashing is only the tip of the iceberg of her racism. Her countless writings trashing on minorities reveal Malkin's hateful side, and like we said before, if you didn't see her picture, you would think she's a white-supremacist, hence her nickname on this website. Her most hateful writings come from VDARE, however. She trashes on Blacks, publishing her filtered hate crimes. In other words, she likes to publish marginal hate crime stories of blacks attacking whites, and hate crime hoaxes, but she deliberately omits the reality of hate crimes, that Blacks are the most frequent victims of hate crimes. When the Washington D.C. beltway sniper was active in 2002, Malkin openly attacked police chief Charles Moose, a Black man, as incompetent and greedy, although she had no credible evidence of such. It really amounted to nothing more than personal attacks in the end. When the sniper was caught by Charles Moose and the Montgomery County, Maryland police department, she continued trashing on Mr. Moose anyway. Now you know that with this, she has to have some diatribe in her resume against hip-hop. Indeed, she got a lot of play on Faux News Channel (and nowhere else, mind you) about a column that appeared in June 2004 that attacked the Worchester, Mass. school system for including on their summer reading list for children The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur. The column was simply a juvenile diatribe against Tupac and his poems, which she referred to as "tripe" and ridiculing the late rapper's penchant for using numbers in place of words in some areas, a common form of artistic expression, but a sign of stupidity to Malkin. She particularly aimed not only at Tupac, but also at the school board for even considering him, and in doing so leveled a shot at multiculturalism. "The Western literary canon has been flushed down the cultural toilet in favor of shallow ramblings by celebrity thugs whose thoughts are best left on bathroom walls," she wrote. "As 2Pac might have responded: 3 Cheers 4 Diversity." For the next week we were treated to this kind of vitriol and more from Ms. Malkin as she did the rounds on the Faux News Channel. When she appeared on former US Rep. John Kasich's program on July 3, 2004, it was a different story. She ditched the vitriol and the hatemongering (but still managed to take a quick shot a multiculturalism), and made an even-tempered case against the decision to include not only Tupac's book, but also folk singer Jewel's book of poems that was published a few years ago. Jewel was never brought up until this point, not even being noted in the original column. When she was mentioned, it was only as a footnote. The difference? Malkin appeared on the program with a black community leader who was there as a counterpoint and probably not too familiar with Malkin's hate routine. Michelle Malkin loves to trash on Muslims as well, to seriously underscore a fact. After the 9-11 attacks, she was swift to trash on Muslims, attempting to associate all Muslims to that event. Like any instigative hate-monger, she will find any news event as an excuse to trash on all Muslims (or any non-white race). When the media revealed the two estranged Washington D.C. beltway snipers were Muslim, she naturally took the opportunity to associate all Muslims to the two snipers, to carry out her racist propaganda. Although an Asian American herself, she sure doesn't have any love for her own race either. Malkin has written a few times on Asian American issues, but again, she writes more like any white supremacist we chase after here. When the movie Pearl Harbor came out in 2001, some Asian American civil rights group were concerned about possible anti-Japanese/Asian sentiment which may erupt. Malkin as usual attacks any attempt to relieve racism and hatred. No Michelle, the Asian American groups were not trying to rewrite or suppress American history. They, as most Asian Americans, were concerned about possible racism that may emerge, and they were trying to find ways to move above such racism, rather than letting the racism repeat itself. Of course, when you are like Malkin and you trash and lie about all immigrants and Muslims being connected to the 9-11 attacks, it doesn't come as a surprise she would play a similar tactic against Asian Americans. Oh, don't worry. There's more. During the Abercrombie & Fitch incident in 2001, where A&F sold racist shirts with anti-Asian caricatures and later pulled off the shelf after a massive protest by the Asian American community, Malkin immediately attacked the Asian American protesters as greedy money-grubbers and downplayed the whole incident. A year later, when A&F was facing a major civil rights lawsuit for discriminating against Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics in the employment process, she makes no mention of this. Of course, any major news stories where minorities may advance and become more equal in America is unacceptable for scumbags like her. Michelle Malkin is indeed a pathological racist who doesn't seem to know her own color. Surely many white supremacist and right-wing groups have use for her outside appearance, although her inside is filled with hatred and racism. Some have suggested her husband has been somewhat of an influence with the anti-Arab sentiments plus mad support for the so-called "War on Terror" being a constant thread (Jesse Malkin works for the RAND Corporation, which has been called out as war profiteers). Like Black sellout racists like Ezola Foster and Star Parker, the white supremacist groups have found a sellout to recruit to the Asian community and to spread their racism, and that is Michelle Malkin. Oh, one more thing. She has a new book out now: In Defense of Internment: The Case for "Racial Profiling". As we did not read the book yet, we will hold back an opinion, but a review of the book says that it "offers a ringing justification for the most reviled wartime policies in American history: the evacuation, relocation, and internment of people of Japanese descent during World War II. It also defends racial, ethnic, religious, and nationality profiling as effective defensive measures in today's War on Terror." Would someone tell this idiot that if anything she believes in was to be put into wide practice, she would suffer the same fate as the rest of us dark-skinned folks? http://www.onepeoplesproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=129:michelle-malkin&catid=13:m&Itemid=3 |

how racist hollywood negatively portray Native Americans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hJFi7SRH7Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09z8lwOEYA a racist ad produced by the anglo-american racist culture “Love Hurts” (2011) is a 30-second ad for Pepsi Max that appeared on American television during the Super Bowl game, watched by 111 million people. And there in all its glory was the Sapphire stereotype: black women as angry, overbearing, undesirable and hard to get along with. On top of that it showed black people as violent and heartless. The ad shows a black couple where the woman is trying to get her husband to eat right. When he orders French fries at a restaurant, she kicks him under the table. When he starts to eat a pie, she shoves his face in it. When he is hiding in the shower eating a burger, she takes it and pushes soap in his mouth. Even when he is at the park about to drink a Pepsi Max, she shows up! But this time she approves: “Pepsi Max: zero calories.” He adds, “Maximum taste!” Just then a pretty, young white female runner shows up, thin, blonde, smiling and friendly. Quite unlike his angry, dark-skinned wife. When he greets the white woman, his wife screws up her face in anger and throws her can of Pepsi Max at him. He ducks and it hits the blonde in the head, knocking her to the ground. The black couple runs off, leaving the white woman lying there injured. One of the main things wrong with this ad is that it plays to stereotypes about blacks: black women as undesirable shrews, blacks as violent and heartless, blacks as lacking in self-control. Confirmation bias is the air that stereotypes breathe. It gives them life. So when black women, for example, are stereotyped as angry and overbearing, then every example of an angry, overbearing black woman makes the stereotype seem that much more believable, making it stronger. “See, there is some truth to it after all!” Particularly an example seen by over 100 million people. Notice that if all the characters were white it would not have the same effect: 1.A white wife’s anger and violence would be seen as personal, as true of just her, not of her race. Because white women are not stereotyped that way. 2.White women on television are seen as just women and run the full range. They are not limited to just a handful of stereotypes. 3.Most viewers know enough white women in their own lives to know how seriously to take what they see on television. Whites seem to get much of what they think they know about blacks from television. Blacks for the most part do not control how they are presented on television: it is whites who run the television networks, even BET, and it is whites who create most of the images of black people you see. And even of the few black-produced images, the ones that do best are, sadly, the ones that play to stereotype - Tyler Perry, rap videos, “Precious”, etc. So, yes, stuff like this matters. Unfortunately. |

Discrimination against job applicants with non-white names continues.
http://restructure.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/discrimination-against-job-applicants-with-non-white-names-continues/ A Muslim airport worker has accused airline Cathay Pacific of racism after he was refused a job interview – only to be offered one when he applied two days later using a fake white British-sounding name. Algerian-born Salim Zakhrouf applied to Cathay Pacific for a job as a passenger services officer at Heathrow Airport. Mr Zakhrouf, 38, who has lived in Britain since 1991 and is a UK citizen, was told by email he had not been selected for interview. But applying 48 hours later as ‘Ian Woodhouse’ with an identical CV and home address, he was invited for an interview by the same personnel officer who had first refused him. A government sting operation targeting hundreds of employers across Britain has uncovered widespread racial discrimination against workers with African and Asian names. http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2009/oct/18/racism-discrimination-employment-undercover Canadian and American and Australian studies show that people with non-white names are discriminated against CTV News recently reported on a BC based study in which it was found that Canadians with English names have a better chance of getting a job than do people with non-English, specifically Chinese, Pakistani, or Indian, names. CTV News reports http://www.racialicious.com/2009/06/16/what%E2%80%99s-in-a-name-your-job/ Thinking of naming your child Keisha or Aisha? How about Rasheed or Tremayne? African American pars across the nation may have to think again, as a recent study has shown that workplace discrimination begins long before the job seeker shows up for an interview. Indeed, it seems to be in play from the moment the resume hits the human resource manager's desk. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0DXK/is_9_20/ai_104521293/ A foreign or indigenous-sounding name gives people less chance of landing a job in Australia, a study has found. http://thebigchair.com.au/news/focus/racism-when-hiring |

If you’re a tenured professor at a university, there are just certain things you probably shouldn’t do. Comparing your black students to slaves is one of them. Unfortunately, longtime professor Mark Wattier didn’t get that message in time.
According to the Washington Post, Mark Wattier, who’s white and taught political science at Murray State University, is on his way toward an early retirement after making a remark to two black students that related their tardiness to slavery last semester. One of the students, freshman Arlene Johnson, said in a phone interview with Ledger & Times that she and another student showed up to Wattier’s class on time on August 25 and he was already playing a film. After class, Johnson and the other student asked Wattier why he had begun the film before class started. “And then he said, ‘Well, it’s OK, I expect it of you guys anyway,’ Johnson said. We asked him, ‘What did that mean?’ And he said the slaves never showed up on time, so their owners often lashed them for it. He just didn’t have the right.” Although Wattier’s career has spanned 30 years at the school in Kentucky, he will be suspended from January through May of 2011 without pay and benefits, due to a complaint Johnson filed with the MSU Office of Equal Opportunity. Wattier appealed the suspension, and later filed an application with the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System and his effective date would be March 1. Catherine Sivills, MSU’s assistant vice president for communications, said she doesn’t know how the retirement application would affect his appeal. In an email to The Associated Press titled “My Side of the Story,” Waittier admitted to making a mistake and tried to clarify his intentions. He said in the e-mail, “‘I did say, ‘Do you know why you were late? There’s a theory that a way to protest their master’s treatment was for slaves to be late.’” Despite Wattier’s public statement, Johnson is still waiting for an apology. http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/02/prof_mark_wattier_retires_after_slavery_remark_to_students.html |

Americans of Color elected Obama. White Americans elected McCain.
Most White Americans (55%) voted for McCain. Obama was elected by most Americans of color and a minority (43%) of White Americans. Some White Americans claim that Black Americans voted for Obama because he is black. That is, some White Americans think that non-white people have a “tribal” mentality and that they align with whoever looks the most like them. However, if we consider the fact that most White Americans voted for the white person, and that most Asian Americans, Latin@ Americans, Black Americans, and Other Americans voted for the black person, this hypothesis fails. A better explanation is that Barack Obama was the best presidential candidate, but most White Americans have a “tribal” mentality and aligned with the person who looks the most like them. http://restructure.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/americans-of-color-elected-obama-white-americans-elected-mccain/ |

Racist hypocrites still whining and complaining about a black actor portraying the Norse god Thor but silent on hollywood's whitewashing placing white actors to play non-white roles, the use of the n-word, racial slurs and the dehumanization of blacks by racists movie makers like quentin tarantino and the dehumanization and the negative stereotyping of minorities in hollywood movies.
