Coming Out Party!!!

I hate when someone is given accolades for shit they did not accomplish.  Worse, I hate someone is called a hero for not doing anything remarkable.

However, I love watching history unfold.  With technology, there are a million different ways to witness some cool shit.

So, what do I think about Jason Collins coming out?  Not much.

Gays have faced discrimination that most could not imagine.  There was a time when being gay was considered a mental disorder and many where either killed or sent to "mental" hospitals to be "treated".

In fact, a mere suspicion of homosexuality could get someone fired or sent to jail.  And whats crazy is that it was not that long ago.  I mean, I still remember Laramie, Wyoming; and that was in 1998:  Matthew Shepard

Jason Collins is being called "courageous" for revealing his sexuality, publicly  as a professional athlete.  Not exactly Jackie Robinson but since sports is the last sanctuary for heterosexuals males, I guess it's something.

But before JC decided to come out, many truly courageous people risked everything to be openly gay.  And quite frankly, I rather them get the historical accolades of heroism.

Here is a brief history lesson: Coming Out History

GLEN BECKING CORRUPTION

By now you have heard or read about how Democrat Senator Malcolm Smith tried to buy the republican NYC ticket so he can get tax dollarz to run for office.  AND how the GOP was more than willing to sell it.

To some of you this only happens in big cities like NYC, Detroit, and DC where the GOP has nothing to offer and the people have given democrats carte blanche on anything they feel like doing.  BUT.... what makes you think it doesn't happen in other places like, I don't know, ALBANY!!!!

So let me explain in the only way I can, sparing you the editorializing the media has done on this story.

WHAT HAPPENED IN NYC

WHAT HAPPENED IN ALBANY

In NYC, the perps were arrested and are going to face serious time.  But in Albany, they are planning their next reelection campaigns not to mention a legislator who wants to run for congress.

Dear FBI:

Amtrak offers fast service from NYC to Albany, daily.  The trip takes just under 2:30 hours and now the trains have WIFI!  Come, stay a while, and make sure the county jail gets it's fair share of white collar criminals.

Marlon Anderson - 是哪个汉语成语的英译

Bozo has nothing on this clown.   Meet Marlon Anderson!

MA "ran" for mayor of Albany in 2009.  I say "ran" because after been incapable of making it on the ballot as a democrat, he "ran" as a write in and didn't write his own name down.  That's right, he didn't think HE was good enough to be mayor of Albany.

BUT gotta give the brotha props for being "involved".  He shows up at common council meetings, makes his 5 minute public comment (all citizens have this right, not just Marlon) and leaves.  But he does go to every council meeting and I know council people who don't have that kind of attendance record.

He has recently organized a number of forums to brag about how he is the man and is just awesome introduce candidates and bring attention to gun violence.  Big props because there are some characters thinking about running for office who have organized nothing.

I am bringing this up because he is announcing his intentions to run, once again, for mayor of Albany.  I had someone send me a copy of his facebook invite:

The library is located on 148 Henry Johnson Boulevard.

So bring your swag lacking fake pimps to this narcissistic event.  Please keep in mind he loves Asian women as he has so stated so many times, inappropriately, on other TU blogs.

Damn you Chinese, Damn you!!

Blood On Your Hands: SAFE ACT FAIL

Our valiant governor forced the SAFE Act through the legislature as a knee jerk reponse to the tragedy in Newton, CT.  Can't let a good tragedy go to waste, right Andy.  We all knew this bill was about making the guv noticed nationally for a possible presidential race in 2016.

So, HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN GUV? :
Utica Observer-Dispatch - 4 Shot Dead

The law that was supposed to protect us from gun violence failed.  Many including myself have stated, this bill will do NOTHING to prevent anything.

Now I have no idea if the scumbags who did the shooting:

1. Were mentally ill or not (SAFE Act Fail)
2. Used a long gun (SAFE Act Fail)
3. Used a hand gun (SAFE Act Fail) 
4. Aquired the firearms legally (SAFE Act Fail) 
5. Used a magazine that had the acceptable amount of bullets (SAFE Act Fail).

Fact is that depending on the investigative findings, it will be a huge story if can result in another emotional knee jerk restriction on guns or the media may acutally toss it aside.

But those who said this act was supposed to protect us, you have blood in your hands.

And so does Cuomo.

Cuomo:  Oops, my bad!

Should Mixed Marshal Arts (MMA) Be Legal in NY?

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Ronda Rousey

2nd Amendment 101 - Per Malcolm X

Why do we need a Second Amendment?

Any Questions?

How Do We Solve A Problem Like Miranda Part Deux

Remember that crazy Latina who dared to run for office and was dissed by the democratic party who have claimed to want more minorities in government?   Well, she has discovered the hypocritical core of the democratic party and she ain't shutting up!!!!

Pissed off at the democratic party that talks out of both sides of their snout, she did this press release calling them out on what they "preach".  (go to the end of the post to see her full presser)

Here is the TU coverage: Miranda Dems Need To Support Minorities Upstate

As a person who is non white, I came to realize the democratic party (inner city ghettocrats) are nothing more than herders of the poor and minority pretty late in life.  I have asked in the past who is more racist democrats to republicans?

DEMOCRATS!  Why?

Because democrats claim to help us and don't.  Republicans simply ignore us.  If all you are going to give me is a way to abort more of my peeps, stay underemployed, crappy public housing, and shitty schools then just give me A 40 oz and a mule and leave me alone.

BTW, is there any correlation between the fast growth of the Hispanic population compared to African Americans and the fact that more African Americans undergo abortions than Hispanics   Hmm, nah, that can't be right.  Lets scratch that completely brilliant and logical hypothesis.

This isn't shocking for those unplugged from the matrix.

What I love is how she calls us "CHUMPS".  Yes, Malcolm X's famous Chumps tirade, here it is:

"The race is so close they have to go back and count the votes again"

Brotha was prophetic!

DEMOCRATS TO MINORITIES:  YOU ARE JUST POLITICAL CHUMPS

Black and Latinos: Modern Day Political Chumps
Electing Diversity vs. Controlling Diversity

Friday, December 7, 2012 (Duanesburg, NY) Former Democratic Senatorial candidate Mónica Arias Miranda, a Latina who has a been outspoken about the lack of diversity in state government and electorate body, has issued the following statement in response to the rhetoric coming from the Democrat party regarding the current Legislative leadership struggle:

Arias Miranda stated, “It is insulting to continue to see the race card being drawn again by the Democrat party, as it continues to dismiss minorities as potential candidates in races outside of New York City. The party that claims to work with us [minorities] to eliminate lack in diversity chooses to only talk about this issue when it is convenient for them, during election year and when minority count will yield a monetary outcomes.  As minorities we are reduced to data:  votes and statistics.

“The Black and Latino population continues to grow across NYS, yet, when the Democrat Party talks about lack of diversity in the legislature and leadership positions, they fail to  mention their lack of support for minority candidates.  Hispanics in NY account for 17.6% or 3.4 million from the 19.4 million total, a 19.2% increase since 2000 (from 2.9 million to 3.4 million).  The non-Latino population grew only slightly by 2.1% from 19.0 million to 19.4 million during the same time period.  Upstate NY saw substantial Latino population increase in the cities of Kingston, Albany, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse.  How many minority candidates has the Democrat Party supported in these areas? For example, the City of Amsterdam has a Latino population of approximately 30% yet the Democrats continue to fail to support a minority candidate in that City, you will not find a single Latino serving the constituents in that City. 

“At the same time that Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in the state, the population continues to face barriers and discrimination in the areas of education, employment, health and housing as evidenced by poverty levels, low graduation rates, increase crime and dependency on social welfare programs, lack of affordable housing and representation in the workforce and legislature.  These barriers directly contribute to the population’s ability to effectively participate in the political process, elect candidates of our choice and even run for office. The Democrat party continues to use of the minority vote to maintain control, not to help these communities. 

“Malcolm X said it best when he said that minorities are seen as political chumps where our votes are sought after yet we get very little in return.  That was back in the 60s but the argument is very applicable today as we continue to see an increase in poverty and high school drop rates and more rhetoric about how critical our vote is for progressive leadership.  What do we get in return?  More welfare, no jobs and a path to the criminal justice system for our youths.”

Anytime you throw your weight behind a political party that controls two-thirds of the government, and that Party can’t keep the promise that it made to you during election time, and you’re dumb enough to walk around continuing to identify yourself with that Party, you’re not only a chump, but you’re a traitor to your race. - Malcolm X

“Across New York State we [Blacks and Latinos] are told we are not allowed to run for office by the Party that claims diversity is lacking in the Legislative body.  We cannot continue to be allowed to be treated as political chumps by a political party that has shown us no Return on Our Investment.”

Mónica Arias Miranda has been a strong Democratic supporter serving as 2008 Delegate-at-Large for Barack Obama and Treasurer/Organizer for the Albany for Obama Campaign. She helped raise over $100,000 and register 2,000+ new Democratic voters.  She was a strong ally for local municipalities in ensuring Latinos participated in the 2010 Census.  Mónica Arias Miranda is the Founder, President and CEO of The Hispanic Coalition NY, Inc. a statewide organization with a current network of over 7,000 people.
